Hey afam!! I'm glad you're ok hunni!! That sounds like a good plan, how long does a cycle on ivf take? Is it like a normal one just a bit more controlled? Wont be long till you'll be joining Blu I'm sure
Afm- 14dpo today and
on ic fmu so I think I'm out, bit crampy today too so AF will probably show sooner rather than later!! Just don't get the leaky baps!! I'll find out one way or another soon enough!!
XxxxxxX
thanks darlin'. The cycle is somewhat similar from what I understand (time wise).
Im on birth control now and will be for 3 weeks to get my follicles to all 'line up' -so they grown at the same rate/size.
then I will start the fertility meds which will be similar to the shots I did for the IUI cycle just more of them daily and different kinds.
once all the eggs are ready (takes about 10-14 days, can be less) they will inject me (with HCG I believe) to get them to all be ready to harvested and Ill go in the for the surgery to retrieve the eggs (long needles into the wall of the vagina to then get into the ovaries and basically suck out the eggs. (um. OW.)
it isnt a terrible surgery as far as surgery goes, I will just be quite sore. it varies from woman to woman. but they immediately take the eggs and put them with DH's swimmers and get as many of them to fertilize as possible.
Then in 3 days, they will take 1 or 2 of the fertilized eggs and transfer them into me. and HOPEFULLY 2 weeks later I will have a healthy BFP. (got my FX!!!)
I still have to discuss the exact protocol and plan with the IVF nurse this week. but Im excited/terrified.

that was probably WAY more info than you actually needed. sorry.
sorry to hear about AF..
your time is near though I'm sure of it. dont forget to buy lots of chocolate and a good film that will help you cry your eyes out. (hugs)
sorry about the leaky boobies too, that must have really thrown you off. maybe your body is gearing up for pregnancy though and June is your month! x
Afam, so happy you're moving on to IVF!! Super excited for you!!
Any news fatmumma? Hoping the
stays away for you!!
Blu- did you share your news with family and friends yet? Any plans for that? Or if you alreadt did- how did it go??
I'm thinking I'm around 10dpo (I think O was late this cycle if it happened at all, I'm on CD 32-33, normally anywhere from 28-30 day cycles). If AF was going to be on time, she would be 3 days late now, but this cycle is just wonky... Not feeling any different - a few AF cramps here and there. I haven't tested in a few days but might give it a try in the morning, I'm up too late as usual!
Hope all of you ladies are well!
you haven't tested yet? what strength!
did you test today yet? 10 dpo might still be way too early though. hopefully not, cant wait to see that BFP!
alin3boys: I have always heard that creamy cm is good right? hope so! FX!
