Good Morning! Hope everybody is feeling great!!

Spoke to the nurse at my RE this morning and it looks like I'm switching to an "estrogen-priming" protocol?!?! Anybody familiar with this? The meds mentioned were estrace (both oral & vaginal) ganirelux, menopur, gonal-f and PIO. We're still having our "WTF" meeting next week, but it looks like there won't be many answers as to why I miscarried, because there was no fetal tissue to test after D&E...oh well...thought I wanted answers for sure, but maybe not knowing is for the best.

Anybody have any info on this "estrogen-priming" protocol?

Turkey I did that for mine.. basically its like birth control pills or estrogen pills for an extended period of time, mine was a month but I've seen two weeks as well... then the gonal f and menopur start. The PIO i'm not sure when you start but i'm guessing during the menopur and gonal start...I was on crinone for my cycle. The ganilrelix is to slow down ovulation so that all the follicles can catch up, so when yours are around 14mm or so they'll tell you to start that, usually a few days before retrieval.... that's how mine was structured, I stimmed on menopur and gonal f for about 9 days, but all total until retrieval from birth control on was about 2 months.

BabyD...thanks for all this info. Sounds much like what the nurse was telling me this morning, but more understandable from you!! She said they'll do baseline blood on day 3 then set me up for a hysteroscopy (b/c I had been pregnant). Then they'll monitor me to see when I ovulate. I think at that point i'd start the oral estrace. Then after my period I'd start the stimming (and I guess the ganilrelix instead of the Lupron to suppress??) then they'll monitor and it'll be go-time. With a couple of other drugs peppered in I'm sure, but that's how I understood it to be. Nurse said end of July for ER and ET...works for me!! I'll get the specifics from doc next week, but nurse said he's recommending ICSI right off the bat and assisted hatching if we only get to Day3. She also told me we'd transfer 2, which is odd cuz we did 3 this last time. Ahhh...who knows? It's all speculation at this point. Can't wait to hear it all from him next week! Thanks again for your reply!!

Well, neither, but only by pure will. I was in the shower and I had a spell, which consisted of: tunnel vision, racing heart, tingling hands and feet, and being dizzy. Tried to eat crackers but my mouth was so dry I had to spit them out. I sat down and had crackers and water, which helped. As for things coming OUT of me, let's just say...the other end took care of it! Sorry if TMI, but at least I don't have constipation issues! I emailed my nurse about taking extra B6 because I read this can help.

I'm feeling pretty nauseated and woozy today too. My nurse told me to take B6 and even offered to prescribe a prenatal with extra B6 in it.

Lol it's not tmi. I just started that today or some reason didn't know it could be related to preg. I had an episode of dry heaving. I also am taking b12 might hav to take b6 too.
 
Thats perfect babyD!!! Congrats :)

How is the brown spotting??
 
Sandy - you asked earlier when my next beta or U/S will be. My FS is mean and won't do any more testing until next week! :wacko: I have my first U/S a week today. So I just have to suck it up and wait, I have been doing the occasional hpt here and there to make sure it still says pregnant, or has nice dark lines :haha: So far so good!

I've had cramping and dizziness, my bb's are sore, and nausea seems to come and go. So I think those are all good signs!

She also said I could take Benadryl (25-50mg at night) or Unisom 1/2 to 1 tab at night; For the B6 she said 25mg 3x day to start out....so maybe that will help you.

Sweetness, this message is weird...it looks like you wrote the first post and I wrote the second and third.

So mine is very similar.. this is what my calendar looks like if this helps you with the timing..

5/24 started BC
6/14 start Lupron to supress ovulation
6/21 stop BC
6/24 should be my menses
6/29 start stimming meds Puregon and Menogon
7/8 Trigger Shot
7/10 Retrieval
7/13-7/15 ET


I had a hysteroscopy which didn't turn out so well in there too so I have to have a surgery to remove the polyps but that wont be so bad. Other than that its just the monitoring via ultrasound and labs within those dates as well.

Hope the timeline gives you a hint of how that protocol works. :hugs:
