We couldn't find an egg. RE poked needle twice and sucked the fluid out of the follicle, but no success. Aspiration pain was nothing to compare I have had period cramps in the past. Not big deal! RE told me it happens that women don't have an egg in the follicle. Also the egg maybe still stuck to the follicle wall. I could O any time and we decided to do iUI and progesteron tomorrow in the evening. It will be Magic if my tubes are healthy.
My opinion, 16mm follicle was not big enough, early trigger killed it, in the past I had 20mm follicle and O'ed that day.
Another option could be chromosomal problems of the egg, that's why is still stuck to the follicle wall.
We'll never know the truth, what happened.
Sept 4th I have pregnancy blood test. I have hope, because we are doing too things different. Progesteron and IUI.

I had a scare today too. Half an hour after procedure I felt nausea and dizzy, I saw lights flashing in my eyes. I asked my Dh call for help and layed down on the floor. My blood pressure was 90/40. Dr. gave me IV and I felt better.
Vagus nerve may responded to my procedure, also I drank nothing that morning and maybe it is HCg shot side effect. Maybe all 3 at once. We'll never know.
Ultrasound didn't show any problems
I have headache right now and just take an easy tonight.

serenyx, I am so happy for the fund you've got.
yearningheart, good, juicy follicles are cozy growing! Looking forward for Monday ER.

Oh, Dovkav, I'm so sorry. That must be so frustrating and disappointing! I hope that you can catch an egg naturally. In the meantime take super pampering care of yourself.

 

[pipilotta]

So much ivf going on here, how exciting! I'll keep my fingers crossed for all you ladies.

I'm sorry Dovkav, but it sounds like you have a good plan, maybe the Iui will work. Make sure you take care of yourself and drink enough!

Flou, have you tested yet? Any sign of af? Hope she stays away.

Dbz, 2ww sure is hard sometimes, I can't get excited some months as well. I hope the wait for the appointment is not too long.

I'm still waiting for any signs, my cough is still bad, but doc said it's just a cold, so no change in any way. Still waiting for dh scsa results.

 

[YearningHeart]

dovka - Ohhhh Im sorry to hear that! Its awful when the body plays up. I hope you get better soon, like the others have said - Take plenty of rest, try not stress, take it easy because right now you are important. I hope your blood test goes successful and everything goes smooth and well for you! x

 

[Serenyx]

Serenyx - that is excellent news you are officially on the funding list, i hope it comes round fast for you.

It's come round extremely fast - I got the call yesterday morning and since I was only on CD2 they spoke to the consultant to see if we could start this cycle! He agreed so I went for a scan today and I had my first injection of Menopur tonight - I can hardly believe it is real (although the injection saw to that ). I have another scan in a weeks time and then another two days after that. All being well they have set a provisional egg collection date of 2nd Sept. However because I have polycystic ovaries I am very likely to over respond to the drugs so I am not getting my hopes up too much because if I do over respond they will have to cancel this cycle to prevent OHSS.

serenyx- I'm glad to hear that they're going to fund you for so many cycles of IVF! That's wonderful! I hope you don't need all of them though. Here's to first time lucky!

Thanks Our PCT are fairly good here - in the UK the maximum fresh they will fund is 3, so we are lucky that our area funds 2 fresh and 2 frozen

Oh no, dovkav. I'm so sorry your natural IVF didn't go to plan.

I'm glad it's not too late for IUI, so at least there's still a good chance this month. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I'm so sorry you had a scare as well! At least it was an easy fix, with the IV. What an overwhelming day you've had! Take it easy and rest up!

Oh wow! You've started already! That's amazing! September 2nd is right around the corner. I hope it all goes well!

Yeah, I just found out my PCT is really stingy with the IVF. They've only funded 4 IVFs in the past 4 years and they only fund one cycle of fresh (not sure about frozen, but I'm not convinced they do). How things can be so different in different places blows my mind. I wonder if I can convince DH to move to another city if we get to the point where we finally qualify for IVF....hmmm.

 

[LornaMJ]

Serenyx - Thats great news, hope it all goes wel and you dont get OHSS, I really believe we should start seeing xmas BFP/bumps on here.

Dovka - So sorry it didnt go to plan for you but really hoping for a BFP for you from IUI.

We have all been through so much on this thread it would be great to start seeing some BFP's on here!!! xx

 

[Serenyx]

Oh wow! You've started already! That's amazing! September 2nd is right around the corner. I hope it all goes well!

I can still hardly believe it - I keep wanting to pinch myself. I never expected it to move this quickly after funding was confirmed!

You might want to look into it. We were hoping to move as OH has a new job in a different area, but we wouldn't be eligible for funding if we moved (the new area has different criteria) so we have stayed put. OH is just having to commute to work

 

[Serenyx]

I hope so too - all the women on here deserve it so much

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

dovkav - I'm sorry that sounds really disappointing.

 

[flou]

It looks like there is lots going on at the moment. Good luck to all having treatments, i hope we some bfps soon!

AF arrived for me 3 days late! Anyway its DH birthday tomorrow so going to relax and enjoy it. Is anybody else doing anything over the weekend?

 

[pipilotta]

I'm sorry flou! And also late, it's just not fair.
Relaxing over the weekend sounds like my plan too!

 

[pbl_ge]

Flou, I hate it when AF plays games! Sorry she got you. Hope you and DH have a great weekend.

Pippi, hope yours is also great and AF stays away!

Serenyx, you're up next! Good luck to you. When is your first scan?

Dovkav, hope you're doing okay. Perhaps your IUI will work magic and this will be your month after all!

Ella, sorry about the IVF funding. Hope you can get it worked out.

Lorna, one more week! I bet you're getting pretty excited!

AFM, nothing to report. It's my last weekend before the school year starts , so I'm just hoping to relax and get organized before Monday. Sigh.

Hugs and dust to all!

 

[Serenyx]

AF arrived for me 3 days late! Anyway its DH birthday tomorrow so going to relax and enjoy it. Is anybody else doing anything over the weekend?

Sorry to hear AF caught you 3 days late is just cruel!

We are going to be doing the same as you - having a nice relaxing weekend

Serenyx, you're up next! Good luck to you. When is your first scan?

I have a scan booked for next Weds I guess they will then decide if they need to up the dose, lower the dose or cancel the cycle

I started the first of the Cetrotide injections this morning and i'm on my 3rd day of Menopur

Are you on the long protocol then?

 

[dovkav123]

Thank you for kind words. It is only the begining of my journey..I am doing OK, reading a lot..TWW is no fun...I found some info about IVF

Kisspeptin is used in England instead HCG shot, less OHSS. Please read this article.

Avoid sex during IVF treatment!

Sending for August!

 

[pbl_ge]

Dovkav, WOW! QUADS.

Hope your TWW flies by!

Serenyx, very exciting! Can't wait to hear about your scan! I'm not doing anything at the moment but waiting to begin the long protocol. Once the next cycle starts, I'll be doing 3 weeks of down-regging. I suspect I have 2+ weeks until the next cycle comes, but it depends on what my lady parts decide to do (anovulatory or very late O? )

 

[pipilotta]

Oh pbl_ge, I'm sorry, what a annoying situation! I hope you o soon!

Serenyx, all the best for your scan next week!

Dovkav, I hope this is your cycle, I'm really missing some bfps around here.

Af is due mid next week, I hope she stays away, the supplements dh is taking could show some impact by now.
