Hi
I will be starting my 2nd IVF in Oct (around the 19th ish if AF doesnt play up to much) so EC will be in Nov. Wondering if there is anyone else starting in Oct too?

Hi, I'll hopefully be starting in October and EC/ET in November. Have met my FS last week. I'm supposed to take my pills to wake up my Uterus but have delayed it till Wednesday. Then will see my FS again mid next month.

How are you? Are you ready for the journey?

 

[gogosteady]

Hi Janice
Im as ready as i can be I've been taking a few vitamins this time around, last time i did nothing special and it ended with chemical so just trying to do a little more to see if that helps! Its just so hard not to over analyse everything and to remain calm and take one day at a time.
Congrats on your success, its great to see that treatment really does work, gives me hope.
Good luck hun xxx

Unless we have a miracle in the meantime we will prob be starting nov/dec so a bit behind you guys but will tag along if that's ok?

 

[JaniceT]

Gogosteady, wishing you all the success remember to take your prenatals with folic acid for at least 2 months before. My FS keeps drilling that to me I hope it'll work for us all. Vert stressful just thinking about it even though this would be my 4th full cycle.

Hi Beanhunter

 

[gogosteady]

Hi Beanhunter of course you can tag along hun, i've added Dec to the thread!
Good luck with treatment. Will this be your first? xxx

Janice - I have been taking mine for a while now, so no probs there!

Thanks! Yes it will be our first cycle. Had a bit of a rough few months. Diagnosed with pcos in jan after irregular cycles and abnormal blds suggesting no ovulation. Had a large endometrioma on my right ovary drained in may and lap and dye showing patent tubes. Started clomid but after the 2nd cycle I developed pain and was found to have a large haemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary and needed emergency surgery. They also found at that op that the endo had progressed unfortunately. Went for a check USS 3 weeks after (about a month ago) and now have a left sided cyst. It's not causing any pain so we are hoping it'll just go and have a scan in 2 weeks to check. If it's still there then it's back on the pill until ivf. No more clomid but have started metformin which I'm struggling with due to sickness but determined to plough on. A bit fed up at the moment really. Will try to ring my unit tomorrow to see if we can get more of an idea about waiting times....

I will be doing my first IVF in October. Starting my BCP's today and will start the injections in october.

Little scared about the whole process. Due to a low AMH, I'm skipping alot of the TTC options and going right to IVF. I always thought of IVF as the last option. So what happens if that doesn't work? Just scares the crap out of me!!

But I know you ladies know what I'm talking about. What an emotion journey we are going through!!

Good luck to everyone this month!!

Beanhunter - Hope you had luck contacting your unit hun x

Hockey - Welcome hun. The way your are feeling is exactly how i feel and im sure how most of us feel in this situation. Good luck x

I had my repeat blood tests done this week, so at least thats out of the way. Still feel such a long way to go till starting, im getting so restless.

Hi everyone

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread. I am due to start down regulating for my second cycle on the 22nd September so egg collection will be the end of october. I had straight IVF back in May after having unexplained infertility for two years and it ended horribly. I had to go in for egg collection early as I was borderline Ovarian Stimulation and everything looked good on paper (eggs mature and good quality and dh's sperm was good) but my eggs failed to ferlilise. They don't really seem to know why they didn't fertilise and they are hoping ICSI may help us this time but I'm so scared they won't fertilise again. I'm worried our eggs will never fertilise and everyone around me is having children!

I hope the next few months are lucky for us all xx

 

[gogosteady]

Hi cvaeh, welcome to the thread hun x So sorry to hear about you first cycle. Keeping everything crossed for you for this one. xxx

 

[beanhunter]

Thanks gogosteady. I got through to the administrator. It's a 3 month wait minimum and we've done a month now. Next major step is an USS in about 10 days to check on the cyst. I'm anxious as if it's still there then I'll have to go on the pill which means we will def need ivf. At the moment I'm in denial!

 

[gogosteady]

Good luck at scan hun xxx Try and take one day as it comes x

Hi ladies, just to update... I took the pills (Dostinex) and suffered! OMG the side effects, exhaustion worst than down regulating, the constant stabbing pains in the boobs, migraines. I really hope this ICSI will work since I have had to give up BFing for this. My milk supply has dropped drastically and my baby misses my boobs so much

Next step is to wait patiently until my period arrives, hopefully in the next 3 weeks then I go see my FS on the 2nd day of my period.

Good luck ladies

 

[gogosteady]

Aww hun, sorry that you have had a rough time, and poor bubba! But if this works that would be amazing hey! I should be starting my period in about 3 weeks, and should be DR around the 19th october, give or take a day or two.
Take care hun xxx

 

[JaniceT]

Thanks Gogosteady. If my mensus starts as expected, my down reg would most likely be about the same time as yours
Take care of yourself too.

I wanted to jump on this thread too! I am waiting for my cycle to start so I can get the bloodwork needed; should start around Sept. 19. I am going to be doing my first round of IVF in November; waiting due to insurance and work. I am so nervous, as I don't know what to expect. I had a tubal reversal and found out that my right tube is blocked and due to my age, they want to go straight to IVF. Good luck to everyone on this thread and for all of our BFP this year!!!!
