IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

ABABY4US - I know what you mean about the endo research. I have endo and have had 12+ failed IUIs. Thought I'd give IVF a fair chance before throwing in the towel. My own research gave me hope and my RE backed it all up 100%. He said it is the best way to go with endo, eggs/sperm will almost entirely bypass days of exposure to the toxic endo environment and when transferred, the embryo will just be nestled in your thick soft lining to make itself comfy.
I hope and pray that it will work for us.

your endo sister.

ADROPLET-I'm just worried I have adhesions or scarring on/in my uterus that will prevent implantation. I also have endometriomas in my ovaries and low AMH so the quality of my eggs is a concern (mostly of mine, not my doctor). I hope and pray it works for all of us, we all know the heartache and struggle and IMHO we all deserve to be mothers!

Hey girls I'm currently DR for my first IVF cycle. Started on Tuesday.

EC/ET is scheduled for week commencing 2nd sept.

Hope you don't mind me joining in?

Heya Magpies Ive just realised i wont be doing any bcp just straight to dr. Is this normal u think? I never thought to ask yesterday xx

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Hi plex that's how I did mine to. I think it's called a short protocol when it's like that

 

[Plex]

thanks Bundles i did wonder, thought id have to do bcp first lol xx

 

[Disneyfan88]

My meds arrived today, and my baseline scan is next Wednesday. I still have another week or so before my period arrives (unless I find out I got pregnant the good old fashion way, which would be shocking but welcome news!). My doctor's plan is for me to jump straight into stimming on cycle day 2. This time, she is starting me on ganirelix for a few days in the beginning. My other meds include gonal-f and menopur, and I will be on ganirelix again as we get closer to ER. The wait is killing me.

Oh, and I go for acupuncture starting on Monday. I really hope this IVF cycle works this time. These appointments are really stacking up, and I can't imagine a third cycle of frequent doctor visits during work time (my boss knows what I'm going through, but my other coworkers do not).

Good news -- the weekend is here!

Plex - if you're doing downreg (even without BCP), it's still the long protocol. I think some clinics just tend to have BCPs in thei standard long protocol as well, but my first clinic don't tend to do this for this long protocols and go straight into downreg

Disney - FX this works for you!!

Good luck to everyone else who's started their meds!!

Every clinic does things different. I was on it to sync cycle with my recipient. I think it's good for pcos as it gives extra time for ovaries to calm down.

Hope everyone is well.

I'm away this weekend so did my injection in the car on a motorway services last night and tonight will be doing it in a caravan! Haha.

[sammy1987xxx]

from my last appointment the nurse said that as my cycles are super irregular that i wud need to start by taking it x3 a day for 7 days, then bleed poss 3 days later then start dr on cd2. Its confused me as i wudnt know when wud be a good time to start lol Im a bit miffed, im unable to start this cycle coming up as my nurse is away so will have to wait till sept ish time for my next cycle xxx

This is my first time trying acupuncture. My doctor recommended it for me. It's supposed to increase the chances of success, and I'm willing to try anything at this point. When I went in for my initial consult, it was recommended that I start with an abdominal massage to increase blood flow to the uterus. I did 2 of those last week (the second recommended due to tightness in my diaphragm), and I admit that they hurt quite a bit (I'm not a fan of deep tissue massages to start with). My first acupuncture session is tomorrow - I'll let you know what I think after it. It was recommended that I start with one session per week, and increase to two sessions per week once I start stimming. I would also have a session immediately before and immediately after my transfer. Acupuncture is supposedly supposed to help increase blood flow to the uterus, increase the effectiveness of the stimulants, and decrease any potential side effects. I'm hoping that future appointments can align better with my ultrasound doctor visits as both are about an hour from where I live. Good thing my boss lets me work from home as needed and break away for my appointments. I still want to limit the amount of time I take away from work.

It is something ive been thinking of doing for sure. How long does each accupuncture session take do u know? Its good that ur boss is really good about it all. Do u think the sessions are a good price or expensive? I look forward to hearing how u get on xx

I have to use insulin needles for my DR. I have a pen for stims, not quite sure if that's what you mean by auto injector?

Its a weird looking thing, u actually put the ready needle into it then use it to inject it so kinda makes a basic syringe+needle into one o those pen things. Ive never seen one before. I had a pen for my trigger shots before. Unfortunatly i have to draw/mix all my shots for this round, think i'll be a pro by the end of all this lol

What a shame u slept for most of it hun sounds like u needed it though. Did u just go away for the weekend then? xx
