IVF/ISCI starting May 2010, anyone?

[JaniceT]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here. I've been through 2 ICSI cycles last year with BFN's.

Have taken almost 9 months off to recouperate and live a little. My doctor's appointment will be the 2nd week of April and ICSI procedure will begin in the 2nd week of May.

Is there anyone out there who's planning for the same month and want to me by cycle buddy?

Lots Love,
Janice

Hi Janice,

Welcome So sorry to hear you've been through 2 ICSI cycles and they weren't successful. That must be so difficult and it really scares me as I want to be so positive about ICSI but I know that it doesn't always work and that we must prepare ourselves for that.

whats your background? Do they know why it might have not taken/worked for you?

i'm not sure of my protocol yet (I find out next week) but I'm hoping to start the drugs in April and assume EC/ET will be in May as well.

I would like to join you I can let you knwo more about my plan/timings when I know next week!

Hello ladies

I had my consultation last week and have been told I have to go on the pill for a couple of months before treatment starts. I know it's the long protocol I will be doing but not sure exactly when starting. I'm hoping for May but it might not start until June.

Good luck ladies xoxoxo

Hi Butterfly,

Did they explain why you have to go on the pill for a couple of months? I really don't want to do that and my nurse said I shouldn't have to. I'm waiting for my consultation next week so hopefully I will find out full details then.

He said it was to regulate my periods - I said my periods are always regular so he agreed to me being on pill for 6 weeks instead of 3 months but he said it would make no difference to when my treatment will start because of the waiting list. He said that if I was on the pill they are able to exactly pinpoint when the treatment will start rather than relying on my phone call on the first day of my period.

Our treatment involves PGD because of losing our daughter to a genetic condition

Good luck with your consultation

 

[MummyIwanabe]

Thanks Butterfly, I assume your treatment is on the NHS?

So sorry about your daughter

Will let you know how I get on with consultation next week.

 

[- Butterfly -]

Yes we get one cycle funded on the NHS so hoping and praying that it works.

Where is your appointment?

Hi Janice, Butterfly and MummyIwanabe

Janice third time lucky im sure, good luck for May. And hopefully May will be a good month for everyone else x


I have been told I will start IVF in may, so can I join you through this journey. I have my appointment with the nurses on the 17th March. I am a little bit apprenhensive as had loads of test as everyone else along the way and all come back ok apart from my latest test for AMH where my results come back 2.78 so odds are abit against me before I start just hoping they can do something to help this.

Look forward to keeping eye on everyones progress.

 

[MummyIwanabe]

My appointment is in Hampshire. I'm having a scan and consultation on thurs 18th to find out if I'm suitable for treatment and what meds I'll need.

Good luck Tory - I've read that there have been many successful stories with a low AMH so try not to worry, you're having the best chance possible now with IVF so fingers crossed you will get your BFP very soon

May is the month for us girls!

Looks like I might be joining you ladies! We've been TTC for over three years now and were told last month that we didn't qualify for funding for 'assisted conception' - basically I'm too old (36 last month) and we haven't been trying long enough... if three years isn't long enough then ****!!!!!! Anyways, my parents have very kindly said they will pay for us to go private. We had our first consultation today - just 8 days after making our first enquiry. I'm currently on CD21 so they won't be able to start before my next period is due as they plan on a long protocol - so they would be looking at starting ICSI around the 21st April (hopefully when my second period is due), with EC and ET sometime in May. I'm both excited and nervous... after waiting so long, things now seem to be going so fast and I'm a little bewildered and already beginning to wonder what I've let myself in for Good luck to us all

 

[MummyIwanabe]

That's good tickledpink that you got an appt so quickly! I've been waiting 3 weeks for mine and that's still private! had lots of blood tests etc tho so I have been doing something which is good for me as otherwise I felt like time was standing still!

Keep an eye on the March thread and there are some ladies in there that have had the treatment and are in their 2ww. It's really interesting to read and see what lies ahead for us! xx

 

[wish2bmama]

May I join you ladies? It looks like my baseline is may 2ish! They have me on bcps already!

 

[MummyIwanabe]

Hi wish2bmama, welcome!

I always find it interesting how some are on bcp some aren't, some start before period comes some don't. It's all very confusing!! I'm waiting for AF on 30th march and hoping the consultation next week goes ok so we can get stated soon! Doing me nut in!

With all the successful stories on here it's really encouraging but also making me extremely nervous that it wont work for me.

Roll on Thursday next week! lol xx

Welcome tickledpink and wish2bmama

Well it definitely looks like our treatment isn't going to start until June so I no long belong in this thread but I think I'll stick around to stalk you all if you don't mind.

Hopefully I'll be able to give you some support albeit very little as I no nothing about the whole IVF process!!

Oh I am due to start BCP next week which is when my next period is due.

Is anyone trying to lose weight or doing any special exercise program?

 

[MummyIwanabe]

oh yes definately stick around butterfly. We're all on a learning journey here!

I'm not trying to loose weight or doing anything different. I know in previous threads people have mentioned acupuncture but I hear its very expensive and I'd rather save the pennies incase we need another ICSI treatmnent! x

 

[wish2bmama]

I agree, acupuncture is really expensive and we need to save as well. If it does or doesn't work out, we will either be saving for a baby or more treatments. lol

 

[wish2bmama]

How is everyone?

 

[MummyIwanabe]

I'm OK I've had a great weekend, OH has kept me distracted by keeping me busy and socialising lots and i've had a really good weekend. I find the weeks hard as I work from home and don't talk to a soul usually apart from my parents and OH and its been quite isolating at times. The time goes so slowly when you're waiting for something like this!! Appt on thurs tho to find out protocol so I can't wait for that!!!!!

How bout everyone else? xxx
