[bizzibii]

Adroplet - sorry to hear you had to cancel but congrats on the embies.

Sunshine - how are you feeling? I haven't got any symptoms either. I had period like cramps but that can mean both things, I know my boobs are sore from the progesterone so to be honest I guess we won't know until we start testing. I think i might start this Friday. I will be 8dp3dt. Its taking ages....

Hi everyone

Went for bassline scan today and they have found a cyst on my right ovary so not starting injections tomorrow anymore feel so sad because me and my partner booked the time off and now I have to go back in two weeks to see if it has cleared and if not they give me tablets and then more waiting and if it still doesn't go then maybe an operation! He told me it doesn't look like I have pcos on the scan which is what they originally told me but then had a amh of above 67.9 which means I do I'm so confused!

Hope everyone is okay
Xxxxx

bizzibbi, period like cramps are exactly when I had when I got preggers with my first. In fact, I was getting BNF's until I had the cramps that that same night, I got a BFP. It was 4dp5dt in fact.

Sorry Chloe. Weren't you on BCP? I guess BCP is to prevent cyst. Hoping it disappear on it own.

Hey everyone.

Bunny is the BFP official yet? When is your BETA?

Thinking of everyone, hope your all ok, and those on 2 ww aren't going too crazy. I'm on day 3 of buserelin, haven't been sleeping very well, and I've had a different reaction every day :-/ day 1 - bruised straight away, day 2 - mega itchy after, day 3 - painful when buserelin going in, and started with stomach cramps about 10mins later, like AF pains. Strange!

Anyone else had/having symptoms? Xx

Hey Bizzbii, feeling much better now, was miserable in the morning. This is much harder than I thought. I read on net that for three day transfer the implantation takes place on days 4 of transfer- so it should have been on Monday and continued today for us, after couple of days the hcg in the blood starts to rise. I was hoping to test on coming Saturday or sunday....but so scared, nonetheless it will be what it will be.

Keep me posted on your progress.....

I did take busereline with no reaction at all. Just took my 20th shot

I was on norethisterone for 10 days stopped on 30 and came on this morning then had the scan and seen the cyst he said it was 6 mm or cm I can't remember and if it was smaller he would of continued!

How you getting on?
Xxx

Buny!!! Need more POAS pics!!!

Buny!!! Need more POAS pics!!!

I agree, more pics!!!

 

[Serenyx]

Our cycle has been cancelled ET was scheduled for today but due to me developing OHSS I had to have a scan first. My OHSS had got worse (my ovaries are larger than they were on Monday and I have more free fluid) so they decided to cancel the cycle

I'm upset about this as you can imagine. We have 2 embryos which have reached the extended blastocyst stage which they will freeze and another 2 they will check again tonight to see if they can be frozen (normal blasts not extended so may not be suitable for freezing). The other 3 didn't make it to blast stage.

I'm not hopeful for a frozen cycle though as the results at the clinic I am using are a lot lower than fresh (47% success rate for fresh and only 18% success rate for frozen ).

I'm now on Cabergoline and Buserelin to try and control the OHSS.

 

[4magpies]

I'm sorry sereny.

That must suck so bad. Hugs.

Well I had EC today, I got 12 eggs. 6 for me, 6 for my recipient who I'm donating to so happy with that!

We are just doing straight IVF as OHs sperm was great.

Fert report tomorrow morning. I'm on cabergoline and metodopramide to halt any OHSS.

 

[bunyhuny]

Serenyx- Sorry it got cancelled, hun.

4magpies- Yay! Congrats hunny! I hope you get a great report tomorrow!

UPDATE: So today is my first day online since my BFP on Monday morning. It's been a stressful few days to say the least. Beta results came back with hCG at 16, so the clinic will have me back in again next week to test again. Monday night I got some red spotting and terrible cramps along with a really sick stomach. Really thought that was the end of my BFP. Had pink spotting through yesterday morning, and stayed very sick all day yesterday. Last night I dreamt over and over that I retested and got BFN after BFN. Woke up this morning and got an almost negative test, but then realized by pee was really, really dilute. Didn't drink anything all morning and tested again at noon. Still very light, but normal line is back. I wish my clinic would let me come back today for a followup beta, but they said not until next week.

My BFP is slowly getting darker though and I will post more pics soon!

My symptoms started on 5dp5dt with nausea, fatigue, pressure in my uterus, as well as a total inability to think, and I've stayed that way since then. No puking though, so that's good.

hCG Results:

Monday:
VERY faint line on hpt with sensitivity of 10. No second line on hpt with sensitivity of 25.
Beta Results = 16

Tuesday:
Line is getting darker on hpt with sensitivity of 10. Still very light.

Wednesday:
Line is a bit darker on 10-sensitivity tests, but still very light.
Held pee for several hours and got a positive on a test with a sensitivity of 25!!

 

[adroplet]

So sorry Serenyx
I had the same exact thing happened to me this cycle. I feel like crap still, I don't know what 'normal' feels like anymore.
The cabergoline helps. I take it at night and I feel a tad bit better in the morning. I hope you feel better.

 

[adroplet]

Mrs T - Good luck today! Fingers crossed your ET goes well.

So sorry to hear that! These things never seem to run smoothly do they! Thinking of you, and your little embys!!! Xxxxx

 

[Mrs. T]

Serenyx I am so sorry! I hope you feel better soon.

bunyhuny make sure to just take it easy and I pray your beta is really high next week.

Hi all!!
I have been silent since I first posted on the tread when it started... Had a hiccup in my PLANS (tore my ACL & meniscus - got in for surgery straight away and am already two weeks into recovery!!!) - so we postponed everything for a month.
I got my protocol and am picking up my meds on the 16th of September... So excited and nervous!!!!!! Hoping for major support
Here is what I've got so far:
OCP/Antagonist. Started bCP on 8/29. Will take last pill on 9/18.
Once AF arrives (should be roughly 3 or 4 days later) I will start 450 units of Follistim. I will go in for ultrasounds and bloodwork over the next several days to see how my follicles are growing and to see if the dosage needs to be increased.
When my lead follicle reaches 14mm, I will add in Ganirelix at 250 mcg and continue monitoring.
When my follies are ready, I will trigger with Ovidrel 250 mcg.
Then the day after ER I start progesterone - which is a gel "insert" (blech.. But whatever it takes!!).
I think the time frame is about a week+?? So ER will be sometime around 10/1ish.
I honestly can't believe I am this close - the feeling is surreal....

Does this sound about right to everyone?? My med list has Ovidrel listed AND low dose hCG at 20 units, but I thought Ovidrel WAS the hCG?? Am I confused?

 

[bizzibii]

Serenyx - I am so sorry you had to cancel. .

Sunshine 1217 - I do hope the cramping is a good sign but I read It is common . Also its not constant or anything. It comes and goes and lasts only few minutes.
What does FET'a involves? do you also have to take injections or something ? I know depending on your embryo thy put it either 3 or 5 days after ovulation but that is where my knowledge ends .

Sunshine 8 - I am scared too. I keep thinking to myself if it hadnt worked for over 5 years why would it work now? I am already thinking of the FET. I have 8 frozen babies so I am wondering if I can do it every month for the next 8 months. I have my FRERa tests arriving tomorrow, so I will start testing Friday.

Buny - Congrats on your second BFP.

4magpies - Congats on your 6 eggs , let's hope they all fertilise.

 

[Mrs. T]

Good luck Chickadeedee!
