IVF May/June/July 2015, Lets Get Ready!

[MrsL4]

Thanks all


Ultrasound went well this am. Waiting to here ab e2 level (it was 1200 two days ago). Have a lot of eggs (over ten each side), fingers crossed they are healthy and maturing. Looking like trigger tmw night and retrieval Monday.

They said uterus was textbook perfect so I am just praying this continues. While I love hearing everything looks perfect, we have heard that for almost two years now...... I just want the bfp!!!


Krissy - gl as you start your frozen cycle. Hopefully minimal side effects. I had a few hot flashes that I'm assuming where from that..... Of course at awkward times like a cocktail party in a satin dress!!! That was awesome time to have a hot flash!! Hahaha. And then not to be tmi, but vaginal dryness too - now I know what to expect when I'm 50 😂😂😂😂😂

Hope - wow that's a lot of drugs !!! Hope you feel okay on them !! I thought 225 menpour was bad enough lol

Waiting - what clinic you at hun one in England ??? Am also egg sharing ? When I was trying for my little boy on his cycle I egg shared also was abit miffed as my recipient didn't catch on then but she had 4 frozen and never asked how she got on with those !


Am off to clinc in a min ! Think they just do blood test here not scan as well which is new for me so we will see don't know how they can't do scan aswell strange :/ they didn't even do a baseline one !! At least o know my lining would of been thin enough with the af I had haha!!
Usually on day 7 of stims for each ivf I got upped to 300mlu so going to enquire about that today !! Rather not be stimming for 15days like I did for my last 3 cycles !!!! Hoping ec will be a week today ish ekkkk come on eggs!!!
Xxx

Help Please!! I'm starting my Follistim this morning. Dr. said to do 450IUS, but the vials are 300 each. There are 6 vials, one for each day until my next appointment. I can't call and ask because they don't open for 2 more hours. Do I just do the one vial of 300?

 

[bettybee1]

Hmmmm isn't there any 150 aswell ? Maybe they got it wrong and need to include 150 6x aswell I would phone as soon as but maybe do 300 for now !

How come your on such a high dose ?



I had my app this morning and got phoned to up my dose to 300mlu which was expected not an app now till Wednesday syart cetrotide Monday evening ! Let's hope these eggies grow!!!!! Lol xx

 

[Hopethisyear]

Thanks for trying to answer, but no extra doses, just 6 vials of 300. I have no idea why my dose is so high. My RE doesn't give me my test results. I just did the 300 vial and it didn't hurt a bit...YAY. I put a call into RE to have them call me when they open. Hope you eggies grow with your higher dose.

 

[bettybee1]

Hope they give you. Ring back soon !! Yor have to chase these clinics sometimes as they don't get stuff right annoying ! They got my drugs sent wrong twice!!! Even then they included antibiotics am allergic too!

And thanks Gojng to start doing them in my leg where my skin is more firm see if that helps them
Diffuse into my body better !!! Lol x

 

[SarahC14]

Wow it's so exciting to hear about so many people starting their stims! I hope that is going well for everyone. I take my last bcp tomorrow and have bw/us on Friday. I'm getting excited but also more nervous than I thought I would as it gets closer and closer!

 

[Hopethisyear]

Sarah - Yay, so exciting to stop BCP and for ultrasound. Hopefully you will be stimming by this time next week.

Betty - Did your nurse say you can do your leg? My nurse said only stomach.

I talked to my nurse and she said they overfill the Follistim past 300 so just dial up to 450. Why don't they put 450 on the bottle then? So odd. The AM injection was easy, now I have a bruise. This evening I did Bravelle/Menopur and was so freaked out by everything I read, but it really was easy to. I went slow, and it wasn't bad at all. 1 day down - next US is Wednesday.

 

[bettybee1]

Hope- you will get the ack not to bruise soon hehe glad they phoned you back and your sorted

Yes am a nursing anyway hun !!! As my job!!! But yes these injections we are doing are sub cut and can do then leg in fatty areas hips, belly , thigh , upper arm !!!!

They say stomach because it's easier and doesn't hurt as much much I think it's good to rotate aswell and since I've had 2 babies and my stomach is so over stretched has not fat on juts loose skin that my thighs are more appropriate I think just hurt more !! C

 

[Wish2BMom]

Glad you got it all worked out, Hope! One day down, looking forward to your first u/s!

Betty - ouch in the leg!!

 

[bettybee1]

lol only stings a little doesn't hurt in tummy at all but hopefully works better in my legs hehe��

Just can't wait for Wednesday to see what's happening in my ovaries !!!! Seems mad I have had to wait 9 days for a scan!! Lol x

 

[waitingongod1]

Hope - wow that's a lot of drugs !!! Hope you feel okay on them !! I thought 225 menpour was bad enough lol

I actually live in the states, WV to be exact. I am happy to hear a success story from egg sharing. Did you have any to freeze for yourself on that cycle? Here I don't think I will ever know if it worked for the other couple or not : (

 

[SarahC14]

Hope-glad to hear they got back to you about the follistim and that the Menopour isn't hurting too badly!

I'll pick up my box of meds on Friday and I'm a little nervous about getting overwhelmed by seeing everything for the whole cycle in one box! How are you guys keeping track of what to take and when? Is it confusing, or not too bad?

 

[MrsL4]

sarah - my clinic gave me a print out calendar with the medicine each day -- it was super easy -- then i just taped it to the wall in the bathroom, near the cabinet where the meds were --- that way i would never forget a dose at night when i was doing my nightly routine

it is a little crazy seeing all the meds in one box, its just one day at a time though!

 

[bettybee1]

Waiting - oh I see didnt know they did egg share over there aswell . Hmm. I didn't get any to freeze on that cycle I had 15 eggs I got 7 other lady got 8 out of my 7 only 4 were mature we put 2 back and then grew the other 2 on day 5 one had arrested and the other was 3bb which wasn't top top grade so couldn't freeze...
Interesting the lady who I donated too manged to get 3/4 frozen blasts !!

Where as out of 3 cycles I never had any!
Don't get hung up on of you can freeze or not or the numbers it only takes one !!!


Sarah- am sure they should explain things or give you a sheet with it all on especially if it's your 1st cucle xx

 

[Wish2BMom]

love seeing everyone starting their stims!!

Sarah - it's super overwhelming at first!! But try to compartmentalize things - you only need a couple of things out of the box for the stimming, a couple things are for the trigger, then if you have stuff for the TWW, that's in there too. It also helped for me to read the inserts about the meds that came with it. And like MrsL said, one day at a time!

can't wait for some updates! I hope there are lots and lots of follicles plumping out there!

 

[KrissyB]

Good luck on all you ladies starting your stims! So exciting to see this thread moving along.

AFM - Less than a month to go before FET So stoked. Two more BCPs to take and then I could start the FET cycle any day.
