Sorry bizzbi :) I know it's hard but I would take some comfort in the fact you can get pregnant lots off :hugs: x
 
buziibee - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard. Hugs.

Megan - hope you are feeling better and better each day and that your pain has subsided. I had my RE give Tylenol3 w codine after ER so I have that. I'm so intolerant of pain and being ignored or minimized by staff makes it worse! Best to be proactive and have meds on hand!

Plex - you're getting excited! Fxed for you!

Luciola - my RN said NO herbs w meds (just like Megan said) b/c they don't know how meds mix w/ herbs.

Sunshine - hope you're doing well!

Rurin - welcome! Good luck this cycle!

My update - cyst is gone! Yay! ET scheduled 1/22/14 and we're still waiting for PGD results on inconclusive embie. Also, on BCPs until early Jan. Oh joy - I will be delightful this holiday season!!

Thanks for the feedback on the rowing machine. Happy Friday all :)
 
3 days left till i call the clinic............. :happydance:
 
Henna, yay for no cyst! :hugs: Do you get moody with BCP's?

Plex, 3 days counting down....:thumbup:
 
Hena- Sorry I missed the bit that you said u had no cyst and that you now have a date set for ET!:happydance: xx
 
Hi, do you ladies mind if I join in? I'm starting my first IVF cycle at the end of this month, and I'm feeling a bit scared and nervous, and like I need support from others who are also in IVF land.
 
Henna, profit your last freedom of drinking!

I visited again my Acupuncture doctor and shared my concern regarding herbs - she said indeed some REs wouldn't allow herbs while stimming. I said I would stop until before my FET cycle (end January probably), it gives me 2 months to prepare my body which should be more than enough (I hope)!

Welcome Smalltowngirl!
 
Thanks, Luciola! :) Good luck for your upcoming FET cycle! Did you freeze all your embryos for FET?

My condolences to bizzibii :hug:

Plex, I see your IVF start date (or finding out when it's going to happen) is coming so soon, how exciting! FX'd

Henna, FX'd for your upcoming FET, too! Hope you get results for that one embie, soon! And yay for no cyst!
 
Smalltown - Welcome!! :hi: When do u start ur cycle, have u been given a date yet? We could be cycling together :happydance: xx

Luci - A couple of months should be plenty of time to get the herbs out of your system hun :) xx

Hows everyone doing? xx
 
Thanks, Plex! :) :hi:

It would be cool to cycle together! :happydance:

They told me the start of my IVF cycle would be when AF comes and that on cd3 I was to start taking the BCP's for pre-cycle suppression (although they count that as part of the cycle). AF is due 12/21/13 at the earliest, but may arrive a day or three late because of the femara, so around then. I don't have my IVF education day and consent signing scheduled till 12/27/13, because that was easiest for DH with his work, but the IVF nurse assured me it would be okay as long as the funds made it to the clinic a week before AF came, and she even prescribed me the BCP's so I'd have them ready for whenever AF hits, since it's due to hit around Christmas, and she said I could go ahead and start taking them on cd3. Eep, I'm so nervous for it to start!
 
:) Are you on long or short protocol? I did long protocol last time with buserelin, menopur 225iu and pregnyl 10,000 for trigger. I DR for 3 weeks then stimmed for 12 days, i gave away all the eggs they got as i was sharing only got 6 (2 immature) so not enough to share - I needed 6 at my clinic minimum. This cycles all for us and im excited but very nervous as never had an transfer. Will u be starting soon after the 27th u think? xx

I'm not sure...I know the IVF cycle is going to be anywhere from 45 - 60 days, and I know I'm going to be doing at least 2 weeks of BCP's and I guess it depends on scheduling or how I respond if I do more BCP's than that (up to 4 weeks). From what I understand, Lupron will be the next med to be introduced and then stims (possibly menopur or Follistim, Bravelle, or Pergonal) and then Ganirelix or Cetrotide to keep me from ovulating, then Ovidrel for the trigger. I'm not sure of the timing or exactly what meds and how much I'll be given, yet, but I hope to find out more details on the 27th. I hope I only have to do 2 weeks of BCP's (esp. since last time I took them they made me nauseous)!

I'm so scared I'll somehow get no eggs (like if the timing of the trigger is wrong or something). And I'm also worried I won't get any frosties, assuming I get anything and there's fertilization and such (I really need to make the most out of my package deal, which includes 3 fresh and 3 frozen, which means if it doesn't happen on a fresh cycle I need frosties so I get my FETs). And I'm kinda worried about OHSS because my AMH is 5.3 (on the high end of normal). But most of all I fear no eggs. 8-[

Sorry you didn't get enough to share the first time :( :hugs: but yay for this upcoming cycle being all for you!:happydance:
 
Smalltowngal, I had all sorts of worries before I began. Now looking back, the whole process went super smooth and wasn't bad at all. Obviously, it's all worth it at the end! But I worried myself sick about injections (long protocol), ohss and quality of my eggs at first. My amh was 3.7 I think and I have pcos. I was happy to start with many eggs (28) but was quite disappointed they only got six good ones! Then I worried about how many will fertilize (4 did!). Then about frosties (both made it) and about two we transferred. I guess at the end of the day, you need to somewhat let go and let nature take its course. Can't really affect most. Good luck!
 
Thanks, flagirlie7, your words give me comfort <3:hugs: And I'm so glad it worked for you! :happydance: When will they know how many are in there?
 
:hi: smalltowngirl!

The process is so daunting! I had a short protocol and am still not sure why doctors put most of you on long ones. You have to just take it 1 day at a time. If you think tooo far ahead or worry about the future, it won't help with stress/anxiety. I only put in 1 good embryo so that's all your need. We'll be here to hear all your venting. This thread has helped me so much (thanks ladies!). I didn't have the "ideal" cycle as my initial HCG was so low I had gotten negative HPT's and had written myself off already. I hope you have a smoother cycle!

This Friday!! I am kinda having a feeling it might be two! Just because of my hcg levels and early symptoms.

Hi, sunshine, and thanks! :hi:

Good advice, one day at a time. :thumbup:

So glad it worked out for you with 1 good embie, and in spite of a not so smooth cycle! :happydance: (If I get 1 good one and the doc recommends putting just that one back, I'll be doing that, too, and freezing the rest if I'm lucky enough to get some to freeze.)

Eeeek, so exciting!! :) I can't wait, FX'd!
 
Today I received a confirmation email that the loan paperwork has been processed, and the funds will be at clinic no later than 12/10/13, so they will be there in plenty of time, yay! :)

Also, after looking over my notes, I think they are skipping/not doing Lupron for me, and at the end of the bcp's, it's stims then Ganirelix or Cetrotide to keep me from ovulating, then Ovidrel for the trigger. I think...we shall see...
 
Hello Ladies,
I am back with a news. I have done my 5th natural cycle IVFand tomorrow we have ET.
My RE recommended Brevactid 1500 IE 3 times this week after ET.
It is HCG hormone. Have you taken it and did it help?
Hoping lots of BFP this magical season!:xmas6:
