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

[Mrs-G]

Morning all!

Well, today is day 31 and right on cue the witch has arrived, woo hoo!!!!! I'm so excited to have her join me! Let's make this our last little partnership for a while! Maybe there is something in this acupuncture, session on thursday was all about af, never come on on a Sunday before even if due yet today.. Bloody hell.

So tomorrow I call the clinic and book my scan to see if I can start stimming, my menopur says you must start within the 1st 7 days of your period so I guess I'll have my scan this week.

Had a bit of a bad dream last night (also think I'm suffering with hot flushes). What happens if my damaged tubes suck my embryo up and I end up with an eptopic, is this dealt with under GA or whilst I'm awake, I'm a little scared!

 

[Mrs-G]

Good Luck Miss Monty

Hey Ladies

Sorry I haven't been on in ages, I been having a bit of a hard time with all this tcc'ing business. I have my review appointment on Monday so will find out then when I can try again. AM hoping for a shot before Christmas!

But any how Congratluations Doodar!!! Thats fabulous news!!!

Pupo ladies keep going!!

Lots of love to everyone, I'll try and be better a popping on here!

oh and Sammy baby asprin is used to aid eggs growing and to help implementation. I will defo be using it next time.

Hey Everyone- My news is good i guess. Got 2 Grade A blasts. The doc wanted to transfer 1 and then went like "oh well. why would u want to freeze 1" and she transferred both. So I am double PUPO, if that term exists. All Grade A embies- 3 day 3 and 2 day 5= 5 embies. Now i guess I will know how much havoc the Endo is causing cos If it doesnt work with this then i dunno what will work. It this fails then I go onto treatment of Endo and try another IVF in 2011. That wud be my final attempt to get pregnant.

Am on super duper medication. Made a list which I would like to share. Would like comments on whether anyone else is on so much medication also

1. Antibiotics for 2 days which was basically post EC to avoid infection
2. Progesterone Pessaries
3. Viagra tabs- pessaries
4. baby Asprin
5. Immuno suppressant tabs
6. Progesterone injections
7. Folic acid
8. Oestrogen pills
9. progesterone tablets orally
10. Valium

I have a huge box full of meds and feel like an old woman popping pills

Sammy- what do u mean by back to back IVF. will u try an IVF in nov/dec if the FET doesnt work?

Doodar- when is ur scan- so exciting it must be. I dont know if I will ever make it to scan for heartbeat. Am sick of scanning follicles

Fleur 123- OMG.. A litter of Pug puppies. I am so envious. I have been dilly dallying with my decision to get a pug puppy. Am I ready for the responsibility et al. Want to get impulsive one day and get one home. I am based in India btw

Maxxi- Yes I was totally out when i wrote that post. My OTD is 29th Oct.

Megg- Good - things have taken off now- before u know it u will be PUPO

Now its just wait n watch i guess

Hi, it means I will defrost the embie ready and if it thaws ok then it will go back in and ill be in the 2WW THEN if AF arrives and I am not pregnant I will start to stimm as soon as she arrives. No waiting a month for another cycle. I am allowed to do this because the FET is a natural method and not medicated so there is no hard ship on my body etc so they allow me to do that. Had it been medicated I woud not have been able to.

Sammy- So- u will be on short protocol if FET does not happen. Are they going to give u enough progesterone post FET? Will u be on baby asprin?

i always do the short protoco, i have regular AF's so no need to down regg with a long protocol. I love this protocol because its only 10 days of stimms then EC 3 days later and ET 3 days after that.

I will do the FET (depepnding if the embie thaws) and then test 2 weeks later and if it has failed start the meds for a new fresh cycle on CD1. Normally my hospital give progesterone for 14 days after ET since they have researched it and believe that taking it longer will only postpone the inevitable if the inevitable was going to happen anyway. They said it will only delay your AF if your not pregnant and would only delay a miscarriage of a corrupt embryo, that as soon as you stop taking it then you would miscarry anyway if that was the case. They said that your body would have recognised the pregnancy after a few days and be producing its own progesterone to support the pregnancy and there is no need to take supplements after that. I suppose they must be right because I was pregnant with my first IVF and stopped preogesterone after 14 days and i never miscarried or anything and it was only at the 20 weeks scan we found that our baby had Hydrocephalus and we had to let her go at 24 weeks. That being said i am nervous about coming off the Progesterone after 14 days and i can stay on it longer this time if i want to but i dont know if perhaps i would prefer to know if the pregnancy was not going to work out and let things happen naturally rather than just delaying things.... Anyway, no baby aspirin. I dont think they do this in Holland and i havent heard of it in the UK either, i am not sure why they are giving you that

Miss Monty - Good luck for EC tomorrow!!!!!

Hey Sammy- baby Asprin is being used very commonly in IVFs accross the world including UK. It is a blood thinnner and It aids implantation, takes care of immune issues and prevents miscarriages. You can google it. I think u can ask ur clinic to give u baby asprin in this FET as its a harmless little tablet.

Here in India its given in almost all IVFs. I took it in 2 of my IUIs as well. You can see posts in BnB also. A lot has been written about it. Anyway- its such a small pill and if it can help then why not?

just got home from a lovely chillaxed weekend away much needed

but the waiting is agony!!!!!! I've got little waves of nausea, but that could be the meds, i've got some weird sensations in womb, but could be meds, and i've got sore bb's, but, again....could be the meds

i hate this bit, i hate it so very much. Am hoping i can make it through the next few days without cracking up completely!!

Hope everyone is doing well x x x

 

[yomo]

Thanks for your lovely messages, after 5 years I am really struggling to believe it!! Have faith girls it does happen. I have been getting a aching feeling down there and a hevy feeling in my lower belly for the past 2 weeks so just knew it was going to be good news xxxx

Mrs F when are you going to test? xxx

 

[MrsF]

we've been trying 5 years too, i hope i can follow suit hun gonna test in the morning, but it is very early. Mind you, i'm not very positive at all really, i just think the progesterone is messing with my body. x x x

I don't think PUPO is appropriate for you anymore! Its more like just a big "P"... When do we get to see a ticker?

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hi, girls! Congrats Yomo!! That is awesome!! I was feeling a bit dark and gloomy last week so didn't check in much. However, after a weekend away and clearing my head, I have a positive outlook again. We have a consultation with our doc this Wednesday. Pending what he says, I think we are going to try again...probably december/jan time frame so we can use our flex spend. Maybe november though. ANYWAY, it looks like lots of promising news on this thread!!
