May IVF

[wrightywales]

Latestarter - fantastic news about your follies, 19 is amazing!! my DH's bosses wife is 39 and had IVF with donor serm and had three failed IUI's. She went on to IVF and had loads of follies like you, loads fertalised and bingo she was with child two weeks later. As soon as you feel well enough after ET, let us know how it went. I am so rooting for you as you have been so supportive to everyone and really deserve it.

Mrs T, hope the flight is ok and am excited you will be starting journey soon.

Wrightwales - think we both have a long week ahead. I plan to keep as busy as possible!!

Roobie & Dilek - keep up the good work and keeping so positive.

I know IVF is out for me this month but I really want to follow all of your journeys.

yes we have a long week ahead of us. hope it goes quick.

good luck with your scan on the 18th hope everthing is as it should be

Hi ladies

Sorry for the late replies, had few troubles this end. Found this IVF quite stressful so just needed to concentrate everything on this, however it's not gone very well. Had 8 eggs, 7 fertilised by the next day, (which usually happens with my cycles I have a good response on day 1), but by Sat 4 had blocked & the 3 remaining weren't very good, so awaiting a call tomorrow to see how they are & if ok will have transfer. But, if they weren't that good yesterday, it's highly unlikely that they'll be ok by tomorrow, so
feeling very sorry for myself & spent most of yesterday in tears!! Not sure what route I'll be taking next, possible egg donation but that'll need more thinking about.

Good luck Mrs T with the flight & treatment.

Latestarter - wow 19 follies, good luck with EC.

Brambletess - huge congrats

Good luck to everyone, so sorry for the miserable post...

Love Jayne x

Hi Ladies

Please can I join your lovely thread? I haven't had chance to have a proper read through yet so I am not sure where everyone is upto but I just wanted to introduce myself.

I have just started my first IVF with ICSI at the womens hospital in liverpool and I have been d/r with suprecur for 15 days. My baseline scan is the 19th of May I am very excited and nervous and would love to share this experience with you all if you will have me?!

I will have a read back through the thread now, got my caffeine free tea at the ready and I am sitting comfortably!

Hi Dilek

Thanks so much for your welcome. It is really exciting definitely but also a whole load of other emotions aswell..hmm think I can add confusion now to the list of side effects I am getting! I am still reading through so not quite caught up..is this your first IVF?

xx

 

[Dilek]

Yep its my 1st IVF and hopefully the only one we might need. Is it your 1st? The side effects are lovely arnt they?? My protocol is a bit different and i have been down reg for 4 months now. So im kinda use to the headaches, confusion, big (.)(.), hot flushes and no appearance of AF. Where are you getting your treatment?

 

[veebee]

4 months..OMG!! I really really feel for you, I am definitely gonna stop moaning about my measely three weeks!! I am being treated at the hewitt centre in liverpool although I am actually in North Wales so loads of travelling involved..it WILL be worth it though!
I bet you are really excited to be nearly starting stimms, where is it that you are being treated?
xx

 

[latestarter]

Morning all,

I leave in 20 minutes for egg pick up. OMG!! I'm really uncomfortable and honestly cannot wait for some of the pressure to be relieved. It has gotten worse over the weekend.

I'll post when I get back and the drugs wear off a bit later today. (Most of you are sleeping now anyway I think )

Welcome VeeBee!

And I'll catch up with everyone later today. I hope you are all doing well.

 

[veebee]

Good luck latestarter!!! Everything crossed for you!

Hi wrightywales, thanks for the welcome! I live in Anglesey, I see you are in Wrexham, I know it quite well as I have been to uni there, some lovely countryside. The hewitt centre seems really busy at the mo doesn't it! What do you think of it there?

[Dilek]

Hi wrightywales, thanks for the welcome! I live in Anglesey, I see you are in Wrexham, I know it quite well as I have been to uni there, some lovely countryside. The hewitt centre seems really busy at the mo doesn't it! What do you think of it there?

there is a few of us from the hewitt centre on here. i like going there but it is always busy when i go. got my baseline scan on 2nds june. start injections on sunday cant wait just wanna get started

 

[veebee]

Dilek - I have never heard of the Homerton centre, not that that means anything, I hadn't even heard of my centre until we got referred there! Are you drinking loads of water? I am trying to but I never used to drink any so 2l a day is a bit too much of a jump for me!

wrightywales - how brill that there are a few of us from the hewitt! have you heard much about the building work that is going on? It's strange looking forward to doing injections isn't it! Not long until Sunday now though and you get to put your body through a temporary menopause! sorry I was trying to make you feel better then!

veebee xx

 

[wrightywales]

yes it is good theres a few of us. no not heard much about the building work. have you heard anything? is hewitt centre gonna b in the same place? i havent got a clue.

I think its very strange looking forward to stabbing myself every day lol but for some strange reason i cant wait. hope it goes quick. not looking forward to hot flushes and hope i dont get loads of headaches. me and headaches dont get on lol.

Hi everyone.

Latestarter - So exciting you are going for EC, hope everything goes well. xx

JK27 - hope you are ok and that you got some good news today?? xx

Dilek - not long now until your scan - keep us posted xx

Veebee - Welcome, I'm also at the Hewitt Centre, the new wing opens on the 1st June ( I think) and it is an extension of the existing centre. The nurse we had at our last appt told us it was lovely. OH is particularly excited as she told him that the room where he will give his sample on day of EC is fantastic! I am sure he thinks there are going to be real life porn stars in there

Well, I'm on Day 3 of injections and already have side effects! I feel quite bloated and my (.Y.) have gone HUGE (and they were already on the large side ) OH has been great and has got the injections sussed. I didn't even feel it tonight! I'm feeling quite tired, but that could just be cos I'm busy at work.

Right...I'm off for a bath.

Roobie xx

 

[Dilek]

Roobie your going to become a pro soon!!!

Veebee i am stuggling with the 2L, I keep forgetting.
For the first time last night i couldnt sleep because of the hot flushes. Im so glad i get my lady hormones back on Friday. HMM did that make sense???

 

[latestarter]

Hi all,

I'm back from EC.

They got 19 eggs. I'm thrilled with that number as it far exceeded what I thought my ovaries could do. Now to wait for fertilzation reports!

Most of the eggs came from one ovary, but we did manage to find the other one, and I know he drained at least a few follicles from that side too. But we couldn't get them all as he had to go through my bladder to get there.

I was awake for the procedure, and it was fine. Just the freezing stung a little, but then - nothing. And it was cool to watch the follicles drain right there on the ultrasound.

OK - I'm going to nap away the rest of my drugs.

I am so relieved.

 

[roobie74]

Am so pleased for you Latestarter. 19 follies
Enjoy your rest. Good luck with the fertilization report. KUP xx

 

[wrightywales]

Latestater - wow thats great. got everything crossed for the fertilization report good luck
