Any ladies starting ivf in april !!!! ??????

[fayewest]

Feeling really positive reading all your news ladies, I have wonderfully good feelings about this thread and this month ... fingers are crossed.

i have my first scan tomorrow to see how the meds are working. Hopefully all going ok, eggs are growing and we'll have ER next week, bit scary!

I havent really talked to too many people about it, my family know (my sister had IVF and has 2 year old twin boys) but I dont want to discuss it too much with everyone as I feel like that adds a level of pressure I cant really cope with.

Also my sisters embryos were medium quality not good or excellent and both took - gives me hope.

I feel quite calm, for some reason I just feel in my heart that this round wont work and I will get pregnant on my next round, I dont know why I feel like that but I do for some reason, at least it's keeping me from bouncing off the walls.

Hi Everyone

Today is CD1 for me following my last chance to try before IVF (wasn't excepting it to work! - don't expect and you wont be disappointed). So in 21 days from now I will start downregging!! Going to the planning appointment on 13 April.

Wishing everyone out there the very best of luck whatever treatment you are having!!

Hi KaterineA good luck with your first appointment on the 13th let us know how u get on xx

I feel like the world's stupidest person!

So I went to the scan ... small follies, a fair amount of them, thin lining. Turns out I should have been taking 2 vials of the powder not one! It didnt say two on my schedule but I didn't even check the gm (age) it said on the bottle ... time wasted, now I have to double the dose and head back on Wednesday. The worse thing is that we are likely to find out if it has worked the two days Mr P's parents are with us in May ... everything happens the way its supposed to I think, but this seems just a little cruel of the universe.

The nurse also told me, when asked what number of follies was 'the norm' that up to 9 was perfect but that they have still continued on less than 4 ... that doesnt seem right to me. The clinic has a high success rate but still, I thought below 4 and it was cancelled.

She also said that less than 20% have eggs good enough to freeze, we would need 2 at least two to freeze if we were to have it for free, otherwise it would cost £2000 (rules of the pct). Also that most people get an embryo transfer at days 2-3 and very few get the blastocyst.

Any thoughts?

hey ladies

hey faye - awww sorry you aint being taking enuf id do summet like that jaja am so dpoey !!

erm shes right about the freezing not many make it my clinic said 20% also !!!!! i wouldnt go on what she said about the day of transfer tho becoz every lady is diff and on your 1st ivf ! its like a trail run !! you just dont know how it will pan out or how good your embies will be if you have like 10 embies then its a good chance that they will make it to blast if you have less they dont like too risk it it all depends on your age if your 30+ your less likely too get embie to blast etc and to freeze,

all i can say is have no expectations take baby steps with it all and if you get too blast or freeze its bonus !
tbh if your having your cycle for free then just think of it that your lucky too get it free and if you cant afford too freeze then so be it iam paying 4000+ on this cycle so if you have too pay for freezing its not too much dont know why it would be 2000 that confuzes me becoz its about 500-600 too freeze then if you have too pay for your fet its about 1200 x

trolley- how are you today bet it feels like its dragging lol

emily - sorry you have had an emtional morning


afm - i have 20 follicles i have 14 over 16mm and 6 over 12mm they have bein growing about 3mm a day so she said the rest will probely catch up !!!

EC is defo monday !!! wahoo !! i get my time tmro after noon too take trigger and mondays time ekkk

Hi girls, just keeping up with this thread as haven't posted on this one in a while - my news is on another one!

Anyway trolley I'm on the same schedule as you, I had 2 top quality 5-day blastos transferred on 1 May and got 5 top quality ones to freeze so it has gone really really well. I'm 3dp5dt today and theories terrine is making me really dizzy when I stand up. I'm also having bad insomnia but that isn't uncommon for me.

Good luck and babydust to all! Xx

 

[xx Emily xx]

Betty too late... I tested. Whoops.

However. I got a bfp!! Fingers crossed it sticks and its not the trigger (shouldn't be tho, I got a bfn at 3dp5dt)

It's very faint, but here's hoping!!
