whats royel jelly hun xxxx

You get it from health food stores hun. Its supposed to be taken around 2-3mths before starting IVF and increases egg quality. Im going to buy some later and start taking it in prep for next cycle in the new year. Cant harm an gotta be worth a try as i know a few women who got BFPS after taking it x

Hi all

I've not posted on here for quite a while due to me not being at the stage of IVF at HC. Well that's all changed as of this week. I am a little confused cos I've seen different people each time 2 said I didn't have any ovulation problems the other and my GP said I'm borderline! Anyway long story short they are referring me for IVF. Just waiting for the PIE letter and then from what I understand we go hear everything, get given a load I paperwork to fill out, forms for extra tests (do they need to be certain time of your cycle they didn't say?). Then consultant appt, finalise paperwork, book needle appt an then day 1 of period hopefully they are not full and off we go? Have I got it right?

I'm very worried about the effects of drugs cos I had a very bad reaction on clomid so much they had to stop me taking it which I understand is not normal. Just worries same will happen on IVF drugs. I don't like needles either and hubby is not keen on injecting me but told him he has to cos no way I can!

Who thought getting pregnant would be soooo challenging!?!

Good luck to everyone - I don't think I'll be joining you til about feb unless the wheels run faster.

Xx

Hi Sarah

Its going ok thanks, had headaches and emotional moments etc but just counting down to the scan on wed and hoping i can start stimming.
Just back from the dentist, been in agony the last couple of days, thinks i have damaged a nerve, just hoping it will recover, got a dressing on my tooth and some antio bios incase anything kicks off over the weekend. Hoping it will be fine and recover well. Off to see the new twlight movie with dh tonight and hoping for some ice cream, for the tooth of course

Hope you're ok and your manager is sympathetic.

Hi everyone!

We've finally got our Patient information evening a week monday so cant wait for that. I was wondering, im 33, how many embryos do they implant is it 1 or 2?

xx

 

[africaqueen]

Hi Jules and welcome

If you are under 35 they will try to push you into having SET(single embryo transfer) but i had that due to only having 1 embie on our last cycle and it failed so if we are lucky enough to get 2 embies next cycle we will be pushing for the 2 as it gives u more of a chance of that BFP. You do need to consider it may mean twins tho but we would love twins. I am 30 and dh is 31 btw xxx

 

[goodies]

il be 23 so im 100% sure they will make me do a set xx

 

[Jules78]

Thanks AQ - we would certainly love that too but we'll just have to see what happens. I dont know really what to expect from the evening as it feels like we have waited so long to get to this point I dont know how much longer I can t wait for it all to start!! Patience is a virtue with this isnt it!!!

[MrsE75]

Well AQ I've taken you're advice plus done some Internet searching and just been to buy some royal jelly thought I should give my first try my best shot can't see how it being natural it can do any harm. Lady did say though stop takin it when you start your cycle.

Fingers and tootsies crossed for us all xx

 

[Melbram]

Welcome Jules - I know how you feel about waiting - its been 2 weeks now since I last visited LWH and still no re-appointment letter so frustrating - we are waiting for OHs results but the consultant we seen 2 weeks ago said we needed to see the specialist so it was a wasted trip - a week monday will soon fly by - from what i've read after the PIE is out the way things move pretty quick

Hello to everyone else

 

[lanny23]

hiya could any one offer me some advice please just wondered rioting be taking my royal jelly even though in injecting or should i stop now? there's just so much to take in i can't keep track and more advice needed please, Brazil nuts and pineapple should i be taking them before or after ec? xxx thanks everyone xxx

 

[bugs]

Hi ladies,

Welcome jules when I went to the womens for my 1st cycle I was 28 and I had a full on argument with the embryologist about having 2 put back. It is not a rule it is a recommendation so if you want 2 put back stand your ground and fight it. It's your treatment and they have to go with what you want. Good luck xxx

Hope everyone is well, I've got my follow up with care on Wednesday so hopefully we'll be starting again in January. Hopefully we'll get a bit further 4th time round xxx

Hi girls I don't post very often I think I must be more of a reader! Can anyone clarify what I do for my day 9/10 scan? At the risk of sounding a complete bozo, I have called them but you know their phones......

They said to bring my Follistim with me, which is my last dose. Does that definately mean I don't inject it in the morning then? (I always inject at 09:00) Nor my Buserelin? I don't want to turn up and have done the wrong thing

Thanks in advance

Hi Lanny.
I have just ordered some royal jelly and from the research iv done online, you should stop taking it before stimming. I am not sure about during dr so i would ask about that as it contains hormones so double check. The brazil nuts should be eaten throughout cycle before EC and the pineapple core should be eaten over 5 days from EC if you decide to do it. Stop 5 days after EC as it can cause uterine contractions and as your embie would be due to implant after the 5 days post transfer thats why you stop then. Walnuts are supposed to aid implantation so try eating a handful of those each day following EC intill OTD ;-) x

Hi Lozmo.
Do you mean do you take trigger shot with you?? i had ovritelle for trigger and it had to kept in fridge so i just went along for follies scan and they gave us date for EC so i would think if you do your jabs in the morning do as usual and they will advise from there but keep trying the nurses station to make sure as i was on different drugs to you xxx
