turkey - good luck at your scan tomorrow! I'll keep my FX'd and make sure you keep that PMA!

ali - You said that you had a cycle where you didn't get frosties or you got bad quality embryos and then for the second you got frosties and you started taking viatmins. Did your doctor change your protocol for the 2nd cycle or was it the same protocol as the first?
Click to expand...

First cycle: antagonist protocol, eating, drinking and smoking during cycle (I know bad Ali), prenatal vitamins: 11 mature eggs (20+ follicles), 7 fertilized, and were all going strong on day 3, but then 5 arrested before day 5, so we only had 2 left to transfer, but my FS said they were still really good ones.

Decided to change donors to improve ICSI fertilization rates, QUIT smoking, take some vitamin supplements, he recommended specifically the CoQ10 and said the royal jelly wouldn't hurt. Also suggested adding acupuncture.

Second cycle: long lupron protocol, GF diet, no drinking or smoking, CoQ10, royal jelly, maca root, prenatal vitamins, omega 3 fish oils: 17 eggs, 15 mature, 12 fertilized and 6 embryos made it to day 5.

I'm not really sure what improved my chances? I made a lot of changes between my first IVF and second. So any or all of it could have made the difference. My FS waffled back and forth between doing another antagonist protocol and the long lupron protocol, we argued about it a few times since he had initially said he wanted to change, and then he changed his mind, and so I wanted to know why? We discussed it and finally decided to try the long lupron. I really don't know what the plusses and minuses are of each, I just wanted to make sure he was making the right choice! :dohh: Sometimes I think it is a total crap shoot! :wacko:
 
On my phone so sorry to be short- sadly, my beta was 3.98, so it was another chemical. Not sure what we'll do next. On the bright side, my mom's bones were starting to knit on their own so no surgery required.
My love to you all!
 
So sorry, edamame. Was really hoping for a sticky bean for you. Glad to hear about your mom.
 
Turkey, thinking of you. -- good luck tomorrow!!

Mo, you sound so positive & upbeat, seems like a wise decision.

Ali, sorry about your headaches & hope the meds work well.

Ash, wishing you lots of mature eggs. Surely this new protocol will do the trick!
 
So sorry edamame.

Good luck tomorrow turkey!

Mo, I hope you get the answers you are looking for from the new doctor!

I hope everyone else is doing well!

Not much to report here. Three more days of lupron, then crinone starts Saturday. I can't believe that transfer is a little more than a week away!
 
Thank you everyone. I was prepared for the result since the second line on my FRER was barely visible this morning. I cried all over the poor nurse that took my blood for the test, she hugged me until I calmed down.

Mercy- looking forward to hearing about your scan on Thursday!!

Ali- hope your headache goes away with the good meds, glad your lining is looking good!

Mobaby- Sounds like a very good plan. Was thinking of doing the same thing. I'll be 37 in September, so even if our last two frosties stick, I'd be around 40 for the next round of IVF, and I think I'd rather get my eggs when they're younger and do genetic testing. My mom has offered to lend us the money to do that, not sure if DH would accept it though, he has a lot of pride when it comes to borrowing from family. I know people would suggest switching clinics at this point, but my clinic is really one of the best in the northwest.

Ash- sounds like your cycle is going to go great- hope you get lots of eggs!

Turkey- hope everything looks good on your scan tomorrow!

Lucie- so soon! Hope it goes perfectly this time!
 
Ali - glad you got some meds huun.

Ash. - woohoo for getting started.

Lucie - ur almost there hun, I can't wait for you to start.

Edamame - I am so sorry to hear that hun.

Turkey - good luck tomorrow...please update us as soon as you can.

Ever - how are you doing hun...

AFM. - the re said to do my injections at 7- 8 pm so that is what I am going to do. thanks for all of the advice. I also see lots of women taking one injection in the am and another in the pm...my re told me to do both gonal and menapur at the same time., I wonder why the difference.
 
Edamame.. so sorry :hug:

TTC.. it depends on how much medication you are taking. My FS separated them, and switched me from SubQ to IM, honestly I don't think it matters :shrug: Just do what your FS told you to do.

AFM.. my head is finally not hurting! YAY! It has been solidly hurting for weeks, so I'm happy to finally have some relief! Now we wait until Friday to get another lining check, and then I should start PIO on the weekend sometime.
 
Morning Ladies

Edamame, I'm so so sorry. Thinking of you at the hard time. We are all here for you :hug:

Turkey thinking of you and hoping you have good news.

Lucie not long now. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Ever how are you doing?
 
Ali - great you have some relief today!

Lucie - so close!! How exciting!

Ttc- glad they told you timings. I've known ladies that take their meds at the same time.

Em and Mells - how are you feeling?

Sekky - glad injections are going well! Not long to go now..

Sandy - 7 days will fly by!!

Ash - how are you doing?

Mo - think you have a great plan in place!! Hope your fs has lots of new ideas to throw in there too!

AFM - still no bleeding. Have no idea what to expect at scan tomorrow. I'd be lying if I said I am still hopeful. Don't know why but I've lost all hope... And if it is sadly over I just want my body to hurry up and sort itself out! I know that sounds heartless but its torture sitting here feeling pregnant when actually nothing was found in the sac. And all the while taking steroids, blood thinners, progesterone etc...

Anyway, hope you are all having a great one!!

Xx
