IVF Cycle in August

[Pinkie3]

Hi Ladies, I haven't been on here for a bit. Been so busy with the house, although secretly I love it!

Thank you all for your kind words.

Tee - huge congratulations on the birth of Noah, he looks adorable and you are looking the yummy mummy. Sorry to hear the birth wasn't as you hoped but then again when do they ever go to plan, I have not heard the same story twice. The most important thing is you are both well and healthy. I still can't believe that back in August we were all messaging about our protocols and now your babies are here.

BabyD - glad to hear your follow up appointment went well, when are you planning on going for the next cycle?

AFM - Not a lot to report. The house is coming along really well, I love it here. We have just booked a week holiday in the sun for beginning of July which is very much needed and when we get back I will get an appointment to discuss doing another cycle. So at the moment I am just trying to stay positive and enjoy life, if what happened to my mum as taught me anything, its that life is too short.

Hope you are all well

Gosh - just came across this thread!! So many memories of hope from nearly a year ago......Really hope that you Ladies are doing good?? I have been keeping in touch with the amazing Pinkie and it's nice to see how you all are.

Tee - congratulation on the birth of your beautiful boy - he is adorable!!! You look amazing and what a fabulous name! It gives me hope - gotta keep trying huh??
Oh - how you made me giggle on our journey last time!!!

Baby dancing - hope that you are doing okay Honey??

Hope all is good with you Qwerty??

I am in the midst of down regging for IVF no 2. I feel so excited but also so petrified with it all - I am full of hope but nothing could prepare me for the fail last time and so it's tough to put that totally behind you...

Well time will tell!

Onwards and upwards!

Hey ladies,

How we all doing?

I had the Endometrial Scratch today.... oh my.... it was uncomfortable lol Had a few twinges a bit of discomfort since, but nothing some paracetamol hasn't eased.

I am just on Norethisterone, stop on 25/9, have bleed, then start buserelin, clexane and 300iui Menopur on 1/10. Just hoping we get the same number of blastocysts as last time. x

Scan and nuchal testing this week, am bit of nervous wreck, just desperate to know everything is okay
Am feeling good, constant nausea and my baps are mahoosive but all symptoms reassuring.

Hang on in there with norethisrerone, mood swings are pants but you will be stimming real soon.

Fingers crossed for your scan- keep welcoming the symptoms as it sounds great so far- although you may not fell it when puking

Stimms can't come quick enough. xx

Good luck with scan and NT emmi! Hang in there babyDancing with the downreg stuff hugs to you. Remember quality over quantity on those beautiful eggs of yours. You've got good stuff!

Happy New Year Ladies

I hope you all had a great Christmas and look forward to good times in 2015- it can only be better for me than 2014 was- right?! I hope so!

We have our follow up appointment on 19th Feb from our last failed ICSI cycle. We only ended up with 2 day 3 embryos that were really fragmented. We did a short cycle and, although more eggs, quality just wasn't there.

We are currently repeating semen and AMH level tests- just to see if quality has decreased over the last 2 years of treatment.

I am the big 3 0 this February...er hem.... so who knows what my body is feeling... probably about 60 with everything it's been through. I just need it to co-operate a bit longer so we can try and get that baby!

We are going to ask if we can start FET #2 around April/May time. We have x2 blastocysts left in the freezer from first ICSI.

If that fails, we will consider ICSI #3, but I don't know how much longer we will do this if it continues to fail.

We have discussed donor eggs/embryos and may try that if unsuccessful by the end of this year.

I hope you're all well xx

Wishing all good things for this year Honey, one step at a time and it sounds like you have a have plan. Don't you go worrying about age, will be 44 when I have this one so you are a mere young un!!

I know how tough this journey is but whilst you have hope and determination, you will keep on going.

Keep us updated.

Xxx

 

[BabyDancing13]

Thanks Emmi. It's just so expensive and I can't believe this FET is round 4 for us already. I'm praying they thaw ok and that the holiday to Barbados in April is good for mind, body and conception!

I hope your pregnancy is going well xx

It's so unfair how expensive it is, such a travesty when so many people can have children that really don't deserve them
Barbados will be wonderful, rest and energise yourself, so hoping that this year will be the year of lots of bfp's

All going great with me, am nearly 29 weeks which is crazy, time just seems to be flying by now, crikey
