I go in for baseline bloodwork and US on Friday. I'm still waiting for CD1. If the baseline looks good then I start stims on Saturday.

Good luck for your beta today kat x

Hope your scan goes ok Danser x

I saw our fertility specialist on Wednesday, he said he wants me on the short protocol this time and to trigger with Buserelin rather than Pregnyl to avoid getting ohss again. He was quite surprised our first cycle produced so many follicles & eggs since i dont have pcos and an antral follicle count of 12. Hopefully with this new protocol, ill make fewer but higher quality embies xx

 

[KatO79]

OK I'm so excited...... for me



Now the fun part: how to tell DH

 

[rachy28]

Ah congratulations kat xx

Hi guys!!!! Eek!

I am excited to join you guys! FINALLY! I started BC pills January 22nd. I don't have my baseline ultrasound til March 3rd. Expecting to do my ER around March 15th or so (I think) I am still pretty new to all this. In fact I still haven't figured out all your guys cool lingo and abbreviations! HA!

Hey girls hope you're all doing well

Just a little update for you. My miscarriage turned in to another ectopic which has resulted in me losing my other tube! So our only chance now is definitely ivf! I can't quite believe it has happened again, I mean how much bad luck in fertility can one person have ?

I'm sore and tierd but trying to stay positive. Our next appointment is the 17th March so we will hopefully be back to full health and be able to carry on with our next round and get them two frozen embabies popped back where they belong.

Good luck to you all, speak soon xx

I'm so sorry Tootsi, that does sound very unlucky although I don't know much about the chances for an ectopic happening a 2nd time

Hope you soon feel better!

FXed for you and that at least 1 embie sticks!

 

[zelly1]

So sorry to hear this Tootsi. Wishing you the best for you FET cycle xx

Hi Zelly! I started my 2nd fresh IVF cycle and had my ER on Friday. Waiting to hear tomorrow or Tuesday if we're doing a transfer, as my progesterone was quite high. Also being monitored for OHSS,but all in all doing alright. How are you?

 

[zelly1]

Hi Amanda. Great news and FX that you get the thumbs up for the go ahead. Keep me updated. I am good thanks, just getting impatient now but still ages to go!!!! Xx

Hi zelly! Think things are going ok, was at my 8 week scan a few weeks ago and saw baby's heartbeat Will be going in for my nuchal scan on April 6th so hoping we get good news (that we're in the "low risk" group) and then we can share the news with the rest of DH's family (since I have pretty much 0 contact with my toxic siblings so won't be telling them, they wouldn't care anyway).

Glad all is going well and I am sure your next scan will be all fine as well. Exciting and feels more real when you start telling people too xx

Thanks zelly, I'm sure you're right Yeah it's gonna be fun telling more people, especially my DH's grandmother as she's been a sweetheart through all this and been more understanding of our issues conceiving than her daughter (my MIL).
