Well it's official! My Insurance company approved my IVF procedure today! I'm so excited!!!

So we are taking January off to let my body recover from the multiple medicated IUI's and enjoy a lovely vacation to Mexico without the all consuming TTC hanging over us!

So IVF in February!! I will be a little behind the rest of you ladies on here - but better late than never!!

Good luck all of you ladies getting started in January!!

That is great news! Good luck to you!

Happy New Year to all the ladies.

hi everyone! just wanted to pop in and say hi, Im waiting on AF to start my FET and really annoyed with my body as Im on CD35 with no period but I know Im not pregnant as stark white bfns on frer. As I went to England we didnt BD much in Dec and I didnt track anything so perhaps I O'd late or perhaps my body is just being wonky from all the meds its had the past months. Its just annoying to have my longest cycle ever when I cant wait to start my FET....typical.

where is everyone else in their cycle and starting treatments?

Ive been feeling really blah and really enjoyed taking the month off not thinking and talking about TTCing so not sure how much I will be on here chatting, but will be keeping tabs with all of you! just seen a BFP from one of my favourites on here so very happy about that.

Sarah, I'll bet your body is just out of whack from all of the holiday festivities and maybe just some regulation from the drugs.

Hi Sarah and HAPPY 2012!

I should be starting pretty soon here again...my temps took a nose dive this morning so it may be sooner than I thought LOL

 

[GreenFingers]

Hi Sarah, I have been wondering when everyone starts.

Not long now for you, LL, Crystal...anyone else?

Good luck and I can't wait to find out how it goes x x

Just saw my RE-due to my delayed af my ER has been moved from 1/6 to 1/9. Some things you just can't predict so I'm trying to relax and not worry about all the ripples this causes~requesting more time off work + the additional trip. $$ Off to meditate.

Good luck everyone!

Morning girls!!

I went to my FS appointment yesterday and I had 5 antrafollies on the right and 5-7 on the left Normal count is in this range so the DHEA has done wonders for me the FS planned on starting my cycle next month but because my counts are so great he said I could start now!! My protocol will be different this time around and I'm on a long protocol this time, it was short the last two times Oh and a normal AMH level is 14-16 and mine was 6.7 but he said that's a great number for low reserves and IVF being successful.

New protocol:

Microgynon 300 mg (BCP) take for 2 weeks and will be advised to start Synarel in about 2 weeks along with BCP

Synarel-as directed by doctor(dosage will change weekly)
Gonal F-450 mg daily
Ovidrel-250 mgs (Trigger)
Luveris- 75mg- take as directed(same as Rapronex) The FS is giving us this for free as its so expensive here and he uses so rarely that the company supplies it for free at the moment to him.
Prednisone-15mg daily ( this dose may go up to 20-25mg and its to suppress my immune system as I have a known immune disease)

Oh and even though DH's counts are fine ICSI will be done this time, he said its better to just do ICSI as it takes all the guess work out, and he'll put 2 embies back So that's it ladies, I sarted the pill yesterday and I guess I won't be temping or tracking anything so just a relaxing month before stimming starts

 

[dachsundmom]

Do you know if it will be a 3DT again or is a 5DT possible?

 

[crystal443]

Not sure it'll really depend on how many eggs are retrieved as to 3 or 5 day transfer, but I'd rather a 5 day if at all possible, better chances for sure!

Way to go crystal!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Sarah, i dont know about your past with flying, but whenever I would fly to or from europe, my cycle always became messed up just a little bit. Stinks that its happening atm. Lets go AF! Bring it on!

 

[Indigo77]

Good luck Sarah, LL & Crystal!

 

[Indigo77]

Yep, travel ALWAYS messed me up, too...

 

[crystal443]

Thanks Indi

crystal thats so amazing, Im so happy for you! my amh is 9 and I responded really well so I think you will do great!!

constancev18 hoping everything goes well for you, FX

LL will you be on the same protocol?

hoping this month is full of BFPS!!!

im so happy I have red flow!! never been so happy to see it in my life. you all were right, it was probably the flying. so I start estrogen and baby aspirin tomorrow. the nurse who phoned is my favourite, and I was asking her lots of questions and she said that I responded so well and that having 10 blasts is so rare. she made me feel quite positive and said she would be shocked if I didnt get pregnant from one of the FETs. Ive been feeling very blah so it was just what I needed to hear. she also said their thaw survival rate is about 85-90% and the highest in the city so thats great too.

call me crazy but I am considering starting off just transferring one at a time. its costing $1200 per time which I can afford each month so I thought I might spread it out rather than go through them quickly I spent a lot of time with my best friend and her 16 month old when I was home and I was thinking boy how on earth would I cope with 2. she is lovely, but she needed constant entertainment and supervision! im sure my FS who I see next week will talk me out of it, but thats what Im thinking right now.
