IVF/ICSI/FET OCTOBER "4 LEAF CLOVER" CYCLE-Anyone joining me?*** UPDATES ON PAGE 1***

[Britt11]

oh my gosh, thank you ladies- you are so sweet.
Sammy, you WONT be joining me b/c you will get your bfp this cycle

Wrighty...aggh I was afraid of that....I believe I am on the long protocol too, does the 36 days include the 20 days of birthcontrol pills or is that an additional 20 days?? gosh I hope not, thats like 2 full months of treatment if so.....
remind me again hon where exactly you are in your cycle this time? are you day 10 of stimming,so 26 days before ET? sorry if i have this completely wrong- by the time i go to post i forget what i have read

on my cycle i didnt take bcp so you would have to add that on if your taking it for your cycle. on my long cycle i down regged for 20 days then started stimming for 12 days had hcg then EC 36 hours later then transfer 2 days later

aggh I was afraid of that...okay see you on New Years than?? lol....

::snigger:: oh yeah of course, yeah i wont be joining you! I forgot for a minute!!!

Wrighty will be able to answer this one cos i know nothing about the long protocols. Wrighty started stimming 25th Sept (sorry wrighty i am just replying to the bit i know as i see you are offline)!!! so will be on Day 3 of stimms and you normally do 10 days (average) it can be 12 or possibly a couple of days more depending on your hospital. Mine seemed to think that when i was at CD10 and I only had two follies that only two more days of stimming might make a difference. When i asked what the chances were of the extra 2 days (12 days in total) making a difference they said "slim". Sure enough i went back with the two follies that I had on CD 10 they were just a bit bigger. I cancelled the cycle so we could start again with another one (we get 3 free tries here in Holland although i have 4 cos I carried the first successful IVF baby to more than 12-15 weeks before i had to terminate)

its ok hun. im thinking i might stim for the same amount of time as last time (12 days) as im on the same strengh of drug just a different drug but will have to wait and see got first scan day after tomorrow so will see how many follies i got

OOOOH FAB!!!! I love scans.... exciting stuff! How many did you get last time? My ovarian reserve is only 11-15 so that would be the max!!! Hope you get loads of big juicy ones!!!

i got 23 eggs from 28 follies on my long cycle but im not expecting that many but you never know could do with a few frosties aswell cheaper to have fet the icsi as what ever i have nxt (if i need anything else that is) will have to be self funded

 

[wrightywales]

well i can defo feel something working my ovaries are on overdrive i think having these twinges that are making me go OUCHHHHHHH god ive got roughly another 9 days of this it better be worth it dont remeber them being like this last time

Hi all. Congrats Springflower! Mrs F - feel better! I've been sick since Saturday night.

I just got back from my appt with the fs. Here's the tentative plan: Wait till AF gets here which should be in 2 weeks, start 21 days of BCP, start the injections and do these for 8-10 days, egg retrieval and then ICSI and PGD and then transfer the embryos around 3 days after retrieval. That puts me at around the week of November 15th for the actual procedure. If I'm lucky maybe I'll get out of Thanksgiving with the in laws! But seriously I hope this works!

 

[wrightywales]

thats great that youve got a plan now hun it works for you and us all xx

 

[Tory123]

Hi

At last after nearly three months of waitng for AF it finaly showed today. Mixture of emotions as this means it all begins again just hope its not all for nothing as relying on FET so just hope they make it.

It's getting exciting on here now xx

 

[wrightywales]

thats great news that AF has arrived. how many frosties do you have for your FET? will be it works for you hun xxx

 

[Tory123]

Thanks wrighty we have four frosties but not great quality but all at blast stage. When is your EC?

oh wow, that sounds like what they want to do for me I think, we dont know about the ICSI yet...if I get the call this month to be offered treatment I will only be 2 weeks behind you- so how cool will that be...I hope its the same protocol, beginning of Dec sounds much better than the end

good luck hon and good luck Tori and the rest of the girls

oh btw, I have some great news- just found out a friend of mine who is using the same IVF clinic as me is preggo!!

 

[Tory123]

That's great britt about your friend at the same clinic as you x

 

[wrightywales]

im thinking end nxt week maybe beginning of the week after will have to wait and see how i respond x

 

[maxxiandniko]

Britt - that's exciting about your friend. And it's exciting that we'll be two weeks apart. We can get crazy together!

 

[diamondaisy]

I'll be doing my 1st IVF(ICSI) in October. I just got my package of Meds..

 

[Springflower]

Hey Ladies

Welcome diamondaisy!

I'm waiting on my fertisalisation report, due between 8 and 9am - God I'm scared!!

 

[DillyC]

Hello, girls! It appears I'll be starting in Oct! Had my first IUI on Sept 13, but 14dpiui beta was negative. After what everyone thought were faint positives on FRER, the result left a lot of people stunned and me heartbroken! I refuse to go through it again, as I've lost all faith in IUI working for me. Since my insurance covers IVF and I want to see a heartbeat before Christmas, this seems like my only option!

So, I have the clinics nurse coordinator calling me tomorrow (today now) to get the ball rolling on my first IVF cycle. I'm hoping it starts in Oct, at least!

Brief history: I'm 29, DH is 30... Neither of us have any children yet. I've had 2 blighted ovum in the last year and we've been trying off and on for nearly 4 years now. I'm tired of waiting and have decided its time to step things up more than a notch or two!

Luck and dust to you all! I know very little about IVF... So, I'm feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. Just read a load of info on my clinic's website and I'm going a bit in my head!

 

[wrightywales]
