Hi ladies!

Pinkie, a boy!!!! Yay congrats to you that is fantastic!

2 have was just on Facebook your girls are coming along leaps and bounds. They are beautiful little ladies all three of them

Miki , I was on 12 mgs of estrogen per day so 6 in total per day mostly because I just don't absorb well and I was sniffing Synarel. You can also take other things like Viagra pessaries and another called Trental

Sienna how are you going?

Hi everyone!

 

[ps57002]

That's great that lining got better miki. Keep up what you are doing and hoping it gets better still. Mine was slow but caught up well in end.

Thanks 2Have for sharing that info. Yes better safe than sorry. All did check out well. Baby was busy but wasn't feeling much probably due to position changes etc.

Sending quick hello to everyone else!

 

[mikihope]

Great to hear that baby is doing well, PS! I'm sure that must have been a relief for you to see your baby busily moving around. Thanks, I hope my lining recovers like yours did.

Crystal, I'm now up to 10 mg. I didn't know you could sniff something too. How interesting that there are so many things that they can try, I'm learning so much as I go along!

hi ladies, I’m BFN as you can imagine we’re both devastated, I’m not sure at the minute if we will try another cycle. DH doesn’t what to continue throwing money away and is suggesting we either give up on having children or look at adoption.

 

[2have4kids]

Oh Sienna, I was thinking about you this morning. I'm so sorry and can only imagine the devistation you're feeling.
Take some time for yourself and think about next steps (with or without a plan for next try/adoption). I'm sending you massive bear hugs from Canada xx

 

[boopin4baby]

sienna - Sending you the biggest & tightest ((hugs)) that I possibly can!!

There aren't enough or the right words that I can say to console your pain. I know the feeling all too well. All I do know is... time can and will heal your wounds. Infertility just fuck*n sucks!! I'm so sorry that you have to go through this once again. Take all the time you need in order to care for yourself. We're all here for you my dear, waiting for your return.

 

[mikihope]

Oh Sienna, I'm so sorry. I'm not sure if I can say anything that would help ease your pain, so here are some (((hugs))) Please take care of yourself, and we're always here for you

 

[ps57002]

Sienna I am so sorry. It all sucks and only time heals when you get hit with such blows. Take the time to feel what you do. Sending many hugs your way.

Had my lining check on Friday. It inched up to almost 7.5mm, but it’s still not 8mm, and they want me to go in for another check on Tuesday. I don’t think it will be much thicker than Friday’s measurement. In fact, I have this fear that it will be thinner. Sigh, I’ve been doing so much for lining growth, and it doesn't seem to be cooperating. It's already been 21 days of taking estrace. I'm feeling like a lining failure...

 

[mikihope]

How is everyone? It's been quiet here of late...

My lining ended up the same as before, it didn't grow My RE and I decided that we would stop the mock cycle and start the "real cycle". I just got AF today, induced by Provera. I'm very excited to start, but right now I will be on birth control pills first. I'm not sure why it takes so long, but it will be at least 5 weeks to transfer day. Maybe coordination with the donor? The nurse said she will work on the calendar next week, so right now I'm just waiting and wondering.

 

[sienna]

Thanks ladies for all your support I am feeling much calmer about it all now, still disappointed but ready to move on. I was hoping to cycle again as soon as possible with Gennet but as they have a wait list for DE and there age limit has changed to 49 I am now looking for another clinic. Gennet did recommend ISCARE in Bratislava which I have contacted and they seem quite reasonable and I am now on their wait list. Any suggestions what to try for my next cycle would be appreciated.

Mikihope how are you doing I’m sorry to hear about your lining, I’m going to try taking L-Arginine for my next cycle as it’s supposed to help increase blood flow.

 

[mikihope]

I’m so happy to hear from you, Sienna! You are so strong, and I’m glad to see that you are moving forward already. I bought L-arginine for my lining too, right after I found out that it was thin and growing so slowly. Let’s hope it works for us! I also got vitamin E at the same time. I was thinking of acupuncture, but I will have to find the time, plus it’s not very cheap!

I'm excited to be started on the cycle, but am still in a holding pattern, taking my BCP and waiting for a calendar from the nurse. I hope that you find a clinic and get started really soon!

 

[2have4kids]

Wishing you both a thick triple lining and success! Will be stalking...

 

[crystal443]

Sienna I know a lady going to Bratislava for embryos she leaves in a week she met the age cut off as well but thankfully it's a different story in slovakia.

 

[Pinkie3]

Sienna, I'm so sorry to hear this cycle was negative and wish you the best with moving forward.

I used a clinic in Greece called Newlife that I couldn't recommend highly enough, I believe their age restrictions are quite high x

 

[mikihope]

Thanks, 2have, I’m glad that my lining has a stalker! How are you doing these days?

I got my calendar yesterday and I was so excited, but I see that they have me on the estrogen patches and not the pills. I did pills on the mock cycle, so switching to patches makes me nervous. Anyone have experience with the patches, do they work better than the pills? I was up to 2 vaginally and 3 orally towards the end of my mock cycle…

thanks Crystal, is she on this forum as I would be interested in finding out how she gets on and what she thinks of the clinic. I haven't found anyone else who has been, I'm on their wait list now so just waiting for donors. How's things with you?

thanks Pinkie, I'm on the wait list at ISCARE but will have a look at Newlife age limit.

Have you looked into clinics in Cyprus, Sienna? I don't have experience with looking overseas, but I remember reading success stories from ladies who are in their 50s and have used clinics there. They seem to have high age limits there...

Anyone familiar with PGS testing? Even though my donor is 29, I am planning to not test for this first fresh cycle. But I was wondering if it makes sense to do PGS testing at a later point for subsequent FET if I am unsuccessful (if I get frosties from this cycle).
