IVF/ICSI in Aug/Sept/Oct Updates on 1st page!

[Please]

Tinks, Traskey, Doodar thank you so much girls! You confirmed what me and DH had decided, we are going with the higher dose tonight also. Hope it pays off, will find out tomorrow which will be after 7 days of stims.

Hope things are going well for everyone.

 

[Tinks85]

Sam - I am so sorry you have missed this cycle, Will everything be in place for next cycle??? At least you will have a date to work towards, think of it that way

AQ & Doodar, your lists dont mean much to me but glad you have it all sorted. All I know is I will be taking bruserelin for DR and gonal F (at a lowish dose) for stimming. I haven't noticed anyone else mention Gonal F. I wonder if it comes under different brand names or something So excited for you girls.

Delly, so you are suffering hun, I hope you feel better soon

Rosababy, I know what you mean about waiting. Thats all I seem to do but thats AC I guess. I hope you dont have to wait to much longer

Please, so glad you have made a decision and you both agreed. The way I see it is that they are the specialists and do it every day. I wish you all the luck in the world hun

AFM - Well AF was due today but has not shown. I am waiting for her to show so I can call the clinic and find out when we can start. I think we will miss this cycle but I just want to know

 

[Traskey]

Samba, I'm so sorry about the form! What a pain. See if you can pick it up and hand deliver it or something. Glad the witch is finally here though.

AQ, my menopur dose is closer to Delly's. 225iu. I guess it's something to do with your scans or maybe it's because I am older?

Please, glad you made a decision!

Tinks, hope the witch comes soon!

Doodar, glad your protocol has arrived

Delly, hope the headaches ease soon. I was warned about them too and told to drink 2-3 litres of water a day.

Hi Ladies,

Its a 70 mile round trip to the clinic so I'll just post... it takes 2 weeks for the funding to come anyway and I need to have the consultation and mock transfer before OV. Besides... I checked out the dates for next AF and my very estimated EDD would be 8th August... day after DH's b'day and day before my B'day so Im taking that as a sign

Delly - Hope that your headaches get better soon

So jealous of you all starting... my ET wont be until November.

Tinks - Hope that the slag bag arrives soon xx

AQ -

Hope everyone is ok xx Im just back off to work

 

[zowiey]

Oh Samba, I'm so sorry What's the form for? They are really dragging their feet, it must be beyond frustrating for you? xxxx


I get my drugs delivered tomorrow! I'm so excited it feels real now. Is anyone else feeling slightly calmer now we are actually starting? I'm still a bit crazy (but I always am!) But I just don't feel quite as anxious at the moment. I'm sure it will change when I start down regging!

 

[Tinks85]

Sam - I am jealous also. We will get our dates confirmed soon

Yey for your drugs as well Zowie.

I am losing track on who is starting when som mnay seem to have hteir drugs already

I dont feel very optomistic about AF showing, dont feel like she is due which is very strange for me

 

[Traskey]

Yay for your drugs coming tomorrow Zowie

Samba and Princess, sorry you are still waiting girls. Hopefully not too much longer for you

 

[princess_1991]

Went doctors today, they said they can't understand why my immunitys low cuz I've already had 2 mmr jabs :/

They also said they would need to see the blood results to go any further so I rang the clinic, they said they would ring me back today and they never did so I'm not too impressed tbh xx

 

[rosababy]

I am losing track on who is starting when som mnay seem to have hteir drugs already

I am losing track, too! We should put it in our siggys.

I'm not starting yet, but my meds are ready to be shipped. I probably won't start injections for another 3 weeks or so.

 

[africaqueen]

Traskey- Maybe it is to do with hormone levels being different with age? im 30 so hope my dose is not too low... ah well im sure they know what they are doing x

Rosa- I hope the next few wks fly by for you as i know the waiting is hard x

Princess- I rem how frustrated i was with the immunity issue but all worth it in the end and obviously we want to take no chance, no matter how small of us contracting rubella whilst pregnant. Some women just dont respond to intial jabs so maybe you are one of them x

Please- Good luck and hope it pays off x

Hi to everyone else x

I am off to bed as had another emotional day. Grief is exhausting me. Need a decent sleep. I wont be online much till wkend now as dh back at work in the morning and takes the dongle with him. Hopefully have this phone line fixed asap xxx

 

[Sambatiki]

The meds will be different due to age, weight, hormone levels etc etc.

AQ -

Hi Doodar, I am going for my appointment for IVF tomorrow with all paperwork bit nervous... bit scared....

Anyway I wanted to know how long it took them to decide the protocol and to send you the medicines ?? And should I be aware of anything before going to the appointment ?? I have read the IVF process but wanted to know if you have anything to share.. hope you won't mind

 

[zowiey]

The drugs are here!

And aside from a mass panic about the size of the needles (i thought the drawing ones were injecting ones ) I think I'm going to be ok! Does anyone else have a Autoject thing? It looks interesting!

Hope every one is ok? Isn't the weather bloody miserable? It hasn't stopped raining all day!

[Sambatiki]

Zoe - YAYYY for your drugs arriving!!

Lovecutie -

Well!! What a morning with the blood tests I dont do well with having my blood taken and explained to the nurse that normally they go from my hand.... anyway she says shes going to have a go.... and she got blood ok..... all down my arm... all over the chair.... and all on the floor but non in the syringe She told me not to look and of course I saw and went all hot and dizzy and nearly was So she had to get the doc... who actually managed to get some out of my arm. So now Im bruised on both arms The nurse said that Im just to book straight with the doc next time and just go straight in the hand.

Feeling abit blahhh about IVF at the mo as nothing is going on and Im feeling a bit left behind iygwim.

Hope everyone has a fab bank holiday xxx

 

[princess_1991]

sorry for the rant girls but sometimes ya just gotta let it out

xx

 

[Traskey]

Yay for getting your drugs Zowiey. I don't have an auto inject thing, just needles ewww.

Aww Samba, i'm sorry you are feeling left behind Don't you go disappearing on us now will you! I'm really hoping you'll start things soon, your baseline and consent forms.

I'm all packed for my holiday to Weymouth. IVF meds are packed too! I've got my Frio pouch to put them in the car. So i'll be off tomorrow morning for a week. Hope you all have a good week. I'll pop on if I get a signal. Good to luck everyone with appointments, waiting on forms or starting the meds.

 

[Sambatiki]

Princess - You for it girl! I was actually thinking I might need to step away from this thread as I was thinking that its just making me feel left behind iygwim. But equally I want to support everyone here too. It wont be long before we get our plan. Its just bloody crap waiting xx

 

[Sambatiki]

Trask - Thanks love! Hope that the weather brightens up for you xx

 

[Traskey]

Princess let it out! Your clinic sounds awful for communication. Which one is it?

Is there an admin manager you can complain to?

 

[zowiey]

Oh samba and Princess, don't ever feel like you can't rant on here Go for it ALL you like, and we will always listen.

Trask have a fabulous holiday, I shall pray for good weather for you!
