Far off but is anyone planning IVF/FET Oct/Nov time or waiting to start treatment?

[xx Emily xx]

Gradually catching up on the thread

6foot - it's so lovely what you're doing for your cousin, if only there were more people like you

Cookie - Im so sorry you're having a difficult time, it's totally understandable. I went through something similar with my younger brother while we were ttc. He's had 3 "whoops" pregnancies now, 2 before DD and 1 since. It's hard to deal with isn't it. Rant away as much as you need to xx

Ellie - so exiting! The 14th will be here in no time!

Janey - glad you're getting a date soon, it's horrible not knowing!

Wannabepreggo - sorry your FET failed but fingers crossed that your fresh cycle will be the one

Hi ladies

Can I join you? I'm not sure when my cycle will be yet though.
We are doing fresh IVF as no embryos were suitable for freezing when we had DD. We can only afford to do this once so it's a lot of pressure.
I had a lap 11days ago to remove endo cysts to give us the best chance.

I got a phonecall from fertility coordinator to say that consultant has requested I go for a follicle scan on Friday then he will decide on what drugs to give me prior to my cetrotide. She said it wasn't the pill, but didn't say what it was.

This is a different clinic to where we had DD because we have moved 5 hours away. Feeling very nervous about it.

Welcome to the group! This is a wonderful and very supportive group of ladies! I had a lap/hysteroscopy to remove a polyp, and try to unblock my one damaged tube before my first IVF cycle also. It is a lot to go through but totally worth it to have the best chance at getting your BFP! Good luck and tons of sticky baby dust to you! I am using cetrotide also, I am also using gonal F, menopur, for the first half of my cycle. Fingers crossed we both get lots of eggs that turn into healthy embryos!

Cookie, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that. That kind of news can really sting. I hope your doctor gets things moving for you, soon so you can put the surgery behind you.

 

[Cookieb]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I love my sis and wish her nothing but a super healthy and happy nine months and can't wait to meet my first niece/nephew. I'm glad she isn't going through what I am and that it happened right away for her (she just got married in July and I told her she needed to work on making sure our kids are the same age!). DH had his 2nd SA today and my follow up consult is next Friday. Hopefully doc will have some good news for us then

Wannabe - I had cetrotide and Gonal F for our first IVF too. I've blocked most of it out now I found it so emotionally and physically draining. Wishing I remembered a bit more now!

Yes, I know what you mean! I am starting to have a lot of anxiety and getting sort of freaked out about doing another IVF cycle! I actually went back and read my LTTC journal so I could remember what it was like doing the IVF cycle the first time.

Welcome Emily, good luck for your upcoming cycle

No news here just waiting for meds today and getting irritated by my gp surgery who find a simple blood test request form so difficult to do arghh!

Welcome Emily, good luck for your upcoming cycle

Thank you! GPs are a nightmare. I hate having to go for anything! When I went to get referred to Gynae, I asked for a specific hospital which was accredited endometriosis specialists, and a week later I had an appointment letter arrive for our local hospital!

 

[Ellie Bean]

Welcome to the new ladies! Cookie I'm sorry that you're going through this tough patch. It does get better but it's not easy to not feel jealous/ bitter/ disappointed etc. We've all been there and are here for each other when we need to vent or celebrate or are needing support

Only 6 more days until my lining check! I can't wait! It should go quick though bc I've got the weekend to keep my occupied then only a couple days of work before the day is here! I've got my progesterone in oil all ready to go!

 

[star25]

Yay Ellie, it is going quick, I hate the lining check, with dd it was too thin first check, so so close though went back a week later and it was still barely where they wanted, she done a fee measurements until one was just OK, so grateful they went ahead!!

I got all my meds yesterday, I'm so excited to start now

Emily I'm been cheeky really with the blood tests so shouldn't complain, as I am paying for my fet blood tests and chlamydia test at the clinic would have been £215 so they suggested ask gp and luckily they didn't mind!

 

[xx Emily xx]

Ellie - not long now!

Star - that's lucky! Can't see my GP being as cooperative!!

AFM I've got my follicle scan today to see where we are and make a treatment plan

 

[Ellie Bean]

Good luck Emily praying for lots of great follicles!

 

[6footnoodle]

Good luck Emily.


So everything looks good and they are giving me the trigger shot to take tonight. This means transfer will be next week on friday. How long after that until I find out if it worked? Will home pregnancy tests work? I will be taking progesterone starting on monday. Will this effect the results?

 

[xx Emily xx]

6foot - they will tell you when to take a test 10dp5dt sounds familiar. Your trigger may show up as BFP so they like to make sure that's out of your system. I tested my trigger drug out, but can't remember how many days post 5dt it was though.

AFM - 9 follicles on the right, one of them was 18.5 and one 14.5mm the rest up to 8.
And 2 follicles on the left, one 8mm and one 6mm. The left is where I've just had surgery for endometriosis.
My lining is 7.2mm.
Apparently my consultant is happy. He thinks AF will be here in 2/2.5 weeks then we will start 14days of stimms with the next AF. I'm hoping I'll be regular so we could be starting stimms in 7 weeks! No need for the pill. I've got to ring the coordinator on Monday. Then as soon as AF arrives in a couple of weeks I've got to have an appointment with the nurses to make sure everything is ready

Hi Cookie, just wanted to say I know how you feel. My SIL gets pregnant so easily & has no sympathy for me. I don't talk to her about it now as she makes light of infertility. She's had 3 children & I love them but her youngest is 4 months younger than my little girl, and she told my mum she was jealous of me having a baby so got pregnant. I was devastated when I found out, as we'd waited so long for a baby... (Only 18 months trying, but wanted to be a mum forever!)
It does get easier and when you get that bfp and then the baby, you forget everything you've been through. I hope you're ok. Throw yourself into your sisters pregnancy.... As hard as it is, I'm sure she'll reciprocate during your pregnancy plus I believe good karma! Xxx

Well, had my baseline yesterday. Lining is 2.9mm so started the progynova oestrogen today, then another scan in 10 days then ET in less than 3 weeks.

Good luck 6foot, what an amazing person you are, your cousin is lucky to have you X

Hope everyone has a good weekend xx

 

[star25]

How is everyone this weekend?

6ft, if you ate going to test before otd it is best to test out the trigger I got my bfp 5dp5dt but I didn't have the trigger as was an fet

Emily glad to hear your appointment went well won't be long before you ate starting next!

Janey goof luck for the cycle bow you have started glad baseline went well

Afm, have now got blood test forms and chlamydia test to do, day 31 today, last cycle was 37 but before that in the 40s, 37 is my shortest since they started again
Hurry up af!

 

[star25]

Actually last one was 35 days which is what I used to be often with the odd 40s or 50 odd thrown in!

 

[Ellie Bean]

Noodle that's great! I'm not sure how long u wait with a fresh transfer. With my frozen transfer I got my bfp at 6dp5dt on hpt then had my beta at 8dp5dt.

 

[Ellie Bean]

Yay Emily that's fantastic news! Good luck dear!

 

[Ellie Bean]

Janey that sounds great, I hope these 3 weeks fly!
