Hi ladiesHi Ladies, hope I can join
I started Northisterone last weds and started sniffing on Friday. So far I feel good, if not a little tired and just overwhelmed by the whole thing. This is our first and only try at ICSI. You can see in my siggy our journey so far.
I can't believe I'm finally at a place where I can join one of these threads, it's an exciting time as well as completely nerve wracking as all you wonderful ladies know only too well. I'm so happy to be able to share with you all.
The one thing I am wondering about though is my FS told me not to take ANY vitamins at all apart from folic acid and liquid iron (I'm slightly anaemic) I was taking all sorts and have stopped them altogether apart from my Royal Jelly which I have read such great things about I don't see how that could possibly do me any harm. He also told me to exercise as normal which for me is a couple of spin classes a week some high impact aerobics and the odd pilates. I have decided I will not be comfortable doing this amount of exercise around EC or ET even though he said it would be fine, I'm worried about my temp because I get really hot and all the jumping around and how that could affect things.
It's so hard because obviously I want to do absolutely every conceivable thing I can to improve our chances as this one try will be our only try. I also found out I have low ovarian reserve which I was really shocked about. My number was 9.2 that coupled with DH low sperm and poor morph the outlook doesn't look great but I live in hope our prayers will be answered. I'm also relieved to have the end in sight and finally know one way or another if we will have a baby as this has been going on so many years.
Well I am booked in for my blood test on 6th Sept and then no news is good news and I should start injections on the 7th if all is well.
Fingers crossed for you all and Good Luck to everyonexxx
I am sneaking a peak at your thread as I was part of the August/Sept IVF/ICSI thread.
Anthea, I also have a low antral follicle count (9 when I had my first assisted conception appointment) and have low AMH too (2.6), both of which were a shock to me. We were really worried how I was going to respond to the gonal F stims for IVF given these numbers but I actually ended up producing c 11 follies, from which they got 16 eggs (13 going on to fertilise).
Sandy83, I have actually got my first BFP from this first IVF so just want to say to you all that when it seems like it's never going to happen, things can indeed work out.
Fingers crossed for you all (and for me too as its such early days!) and will peek back in to see how you're all getting on.

Happy Birthday. Im so sorry about what we all have to go through. Try to stay abit positive. Atleast we can have this treatment.Some people cannot even get a try at this. Try to read that book we were talking about. Maybe alittle prayer
can ease you up allittle. I really don't know why we have to go through this. You're not old. Ive been to the fertilty specialist since Ive been 23years. Im now 25. Ive been trying since I have been married, dat will be 4years next week.
about.
When is your next scan? We have MFI too and our only concern is finding sperm via MESA. 
I know everyone hits a wall and thinks why me, I am just so annoyed at not getting my period so I can get on with stims. But I will just have to be patient, I suppose I have waited 7 years so a few more weeks can't hurt right!!
