IVF (w/ICSI) in Sept/Oct 2012

[Sandy83]

Morning Ladies

Hope everyone is doing well

Well EVENTUALLY had appt after failed cycle in sept. All good news slightly disappointed but still all good.

Could have started FET process tomorrow but due to the 2 week closure of the lab over xmas got to wait til my next AF, which should be within the next 2 weeks. On the good side once AF shows in December ive got my drugs today so can start straight away! Woo Hoo. So its looking like ill be doing FET beginning of Jan.

Another good point is I can transfer both Blastocysts if they survive the Thaw! Which is good news as could only transfer one blastocyst in fresh cycle due to the NHS trying to reduce multiple births.

I guess its good that im waiting til my next cycle as this one was crazy it was a week late and also lasted 11 days which is very unusal for me and hopefully my body will be back to normal or a normal as it can be after IVF.

Hi Sandy

Great to hear your update. I also had to delay my 2nd attempt by 2 months and at the time I was pretty upset as you just want to get on with it don't you, but then I thought what you thought - that its a good opportunity to give your body extra time to ensure is healthy and in the best shape. Plus I'm sure it will be busy during December, so sending you lots of positive vibes for 2013

I just posted to another woman that has had to postpone..

If you aren't taking supplements there are a few that are known to help. I don't know personally yet because I'm still waiting to find out!! But I wanted to share that others used them on this thread and were successful:

Royal Jelly - only if you aren't allergic to bees!
Maca Root - a S. American root used for centuries for fertility
CoQ10 - is thought to improve egg quality

Also acupuncture, see if your FS has an acupuncturist that they use. It is supposed to help bring more blood to your uterus, and help balance your body and prepare it for being pregnant. No idea if I believe all of that, but it does relax me and while I'm in the sessions I visualize a little peanut in my belly, and that helps.

Good luck Sandy!!!

Hi ladies. I know I have been in hiding for a while but just wanted to let you know that I thought the icsi cycle had messed up my cycle. I took a test this morning and got a bfp. Don't know if it was from the icsi as I had a bleed or natural. I am in shock. Thrilled and just wanted to share xx

Well I can't wait to hear!! So do you think your IVF cycle was successful afterall, just late? I have heard that some women have residual meds in their system and often have success the month after they have completed IVF. Is that possible? Either way, OMG that is so exciting!!!

 

[slb80]

Both are possible. I guess I will know tomorrow. Right now I am in shock but on
