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

[4magpies]

Hello girls.

Right this scan went slightly better.

Lining is 7mm and triple layer which is great as it means its good quality apparently?

I now have 40 follicles, 23 on my right, 17 on my left. I guess these are all the ones that were too small to count on Monday?!

The biggest are 10mm, they say they're growing too slowly but they cannot up my dose of drugs because I have too many?

I'm now at high risk of OHSS.

I'm staying on a dose of 150 and back on Friday at 8.30 for another scan.

Then I'm guessing ill have another Sunday.

I think they're meant to grow 2mm a day and they're meant to be 18mm so hopefully I will be ready to trigger Sunday?

This means EC Tuesday and transfer the following Sunday which is bad as other half is meant to doing a demo at silverstone race track as part of a big Motorsport thing.

Knowing our luck that's what's gonna happen!

Does anyone else have fears of hubby freezing up and not being able to deliver the goods when egg retrieval day comes? It's probably a silly thing to worry about, but I'm so worried that he will feel too pressured and won't be able to do it. He has never had trouble giving a sample before, but all of the samples he has given have just been for testing.

I wasn't worried until you just mentioned it

Goodluck Ababy at your appointment make sure you give us an update.

For magpies keeping everything crossed for you and DH.

Bunny I so know what you mean going out without DH in a strange land

You sound similar to me - I have also over responded on the stimms. The lady performing the scan said 'oh my gosh they are pco aren't they' in reference to my ovaries when she saw them

What day of stimming are you on? I am on day 7 of stimms and this was my first progress scan. I am now awaiting blood test results to see if they can actually go ahead with egg collection or not. If they do it will have to be this Friday instead of Monday like they planned. Unlike you though mine have grown quickly (which isn't great as it generally means poorer quality ).

I am also at risk of OHSS (which they knew before) and have been given some other drugs to take if they go ahead with EC to try and reduce the risk of OHSS.

You have to love the drugs they give you - my new ones read ...

Use of this drug has been associated with pathological gambling

Hey 4magpies and serenyx sorry to hear about your risk of ohss I got it after my EC it is not nice
40 follicles that is a lot I had 36 but I don't have pcos so it's weird I am worried now that maybe I do but it has not been diagnosed as from what I have been reading those numbers are usually with pos ladies

 

[bizzibii]

I've over responded to the drugs they are going to take some blood but they may have to cancel this cycle. So disappointed

OH NOO. I am so sorry to hear that. . I know exactly how you feel. When can you start again ?

 

[adroplet]

ER morning and I'm trying to kill some time here. So far, I'm calm but getting hungry already.

 

[4magpies]

My clinic already knew I had pcos as I had 40 follicles on my scan at my consultation (same number on each ovary too spooky!).

I don't think mines going to be cancelled as they're slow growing and they've already said they'll use a different trigger and do EC then do a FET at a later date when things have calmed down.

They aren't happy with mine because they're growing too slow.

Well the nurse phoned this afternoon with slightly better news - my oestradiol levels are ok so they are going to go ahead and do EC but they have brought it forward to this Friday (which will be CD 12 :/).

They have told me that we still might not make it to ET but at least if we do EC we *might* get some frosties if they have to cancel it after that. I know eggs that grow too fast are of poorer quality but I can't do anything about that now

I have been given some more new drugs to try and prevent OHSS.

My clinic already knew I had pcos as I had 40 follicles on my scan at my consultation (same number on each ovary too spooky!).

I never asked how many I had at my baseline scan but I definitely had quite a few then and they commented on it.

I don't think mines going to be cancelled as they're slow growing and they've already said they'll use a different trigger and do EC then do a FET at a later date when things have calmed down.

I think the main problem with mine was that I responded too quickly and they were worried that my oestradiol level would be too high. If this is the case then they can't give you the trigger shot as this would cause OHSS. Thankfully my levels were ok but like yourself they have now told me that even though we are collecting I might not get any put back this cycle and might have to freeze any that are suitable for use in a future cycle.

They aren't happy with mine because they're growing too slow.

That is a shame because they can't up your dosage as you are already over-responding. Hopefully they will put on a little growth spurt

 

[4magpies]

They can give you a trigger. Just not a HCG trigger.

That wasn't at my baseline. At my baseline I had nothing, this was just a scan about 3 months before the IVF, hope that makes more sense.

I really hope they don't cancel your cycle.

excellent news Serenyx, I am glad it all worked out. Its all a big roller coaster. One day its bad, next all is good again. As my doctor told me " our bodies are not computers, you can never predict anything " . I do hope you get to do the ET this cycle though.

 

[Serenyx]

Ah ok - my clinic told me they won't risk triggering at all if your oestradiol levels are too high.

I really hope they don't cancel your cycle.

Thanks - so do I

The clinic we are using only have a 2.2% rate of cancelling before EC and a 3.9% rate of cancelling before ET so the stats are promising - but knowing my luck I will be one of that small %

DH's work are being awkward We thought it was Monday so provisionally told them he would need to be off that day but they are causing a fuss about him being off on Friday instead

Oh isn't it just! I was so disappointed this morning when what I thought was simply a routine scan ended up with them telling me they might need to cancel and that this cycle was now all riding on the results of one blood test, but then fast forward 6 hours and it is all back on again

I won't get my hopes up too much for ET this cycle but I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed anyway x

 

[bizzibii]

As for me - I have called today to find out how many fertilised but have been told they , are not allowed to tell me on the phone. ( how weird) . I am however going for a ET tomorrow, so I guess at least one made it.

 

[Plex]

Quick update, Had a call from the nurse yesterday telling me that I have my match She's going to email the lady again just to make sure she wants to go ahead. Then i'll get a call 2moro to tell me my dates etc and also when to call to receive my drugs!!! I'll have to induce my period first but by the sounds of it I may be starting sooner than I'd originally thought!!! xxxx

Am going to try to catch up on the past days posts as theres been sooo many! Its just amazing how supportive everyone is being of each other Thankyou to everyone whos making this such a great thread to be part of xxxxx

That's weird! However as you say since they have asked you to come in for ET at least one has made it! Good luck x

Bizzibii, me too having transfer tomorrow, they didn't call me either with the fertilization report, so hoping that at least one made it. So for us its a three day transfer. Are you taking progestrones? I have been using the suppository since last night, three times a day arrggghhh!!!

Good hun for tomorrow, will be thinking of you.
