Heya again Hope u are all doing well?

Hmommy- It'll be great to chat to someone cycling so close to me Egg sharing involves super stimulating the ovaries to produce at least 8 eggs to then give half away to my recipient. It also means I have reduced costs for my ivf and meds too which is an added bonus. x

Stace- Thanks! I dont really think itstoo much of a difference when egg sharing as im happy to help, especially if i have enough for two then why not? x

Sekky- Have u been told that you will be following a slightly different protocol as you have PCOS? I have PCOS too but havent been told much yet - I'll get all the info on the 30th. x

Lucie- Yay for AF!!!!! Things will go quick from here hun. Its funny when not ttc af can take as long as she like and I hate it coming but when waiting for treatment im happy when af arrives lol x

Nothing going on with me, im still waiting for af to arrive think im cd55 now and counting still BFN's im beginning to wonder if the spotting i had on cd36 was actually my period??????? Ive done a opk today which was nearly a pos so I dunno Bloomin body not doin as it shud!! xx

Off clomid they are anything from 20 days to 75+ days On clomid they should be no more than 30ish days that was on 100mg with a trigger, but the last two cycles of clomid Ive done have been 150mg with a trigger also and the one b4 this I had a 27day cycle. Now this cycle is stupidly long for some unknown reason

Woop woop for AF Are ur cycles regular did u say? If so then its not a long wait for u although it'll feel like an age

Hiya
Good luck for this ivf cycle hun How many weeks of stimming do u have to do then? Also how were ur previous cycles - are u on a similar protocol? Sorry for the questions lol x

 

[Sandy83]

No problem about the questions ask away!

I start Buserelin on 22nd April for 3 weeks then have a baseline scan on 15th May, if all is well i start menopur on 16th May 11 to 12 days then ER on 29th May.

I'm on exactly the same protocol as last time as both fresh and FET cycle were text book and responded really well the everything only issue was i didn't get pregnant. I didn't get any side effects with any of the medication had slight OHSS but nothing major to deal with.

When do you start? xx

 

[stacergirl]

Welcome sandy! Sorry the first one didn't work! Do they have any idea why? Does your office do hysterscopy prior to ivf? Just curious. Really hoping this cycle is successful for you! How are you holding up?

Plex-wow Af better show soon! Did you bother to take a hpt just in case? My cycles are very regular and are about 25 days so I'm about 50 data from my final ivf appt!! Eek!

Lucie-glad you're not having symptoms! I bet you're so excited to get this started!!

 

[Sandy83]

Thanks Stacer, There is really no reason why the first cycle didn't work, everything went perfectly with regards to the cycle just didn't end up pregnant! I do think the IVF process can be a lucky dip at times.

My clinic didn't carry out a hysteroscopy as the issue is with DH due to infertility from Chemotherapy. They did carry out a number of tests with an internal scan on my to make sure but I've got no outstanding infertility issues.

I'm holding up well obviously devastating at first but had 6 weeks to come round and ready to start again xx

Glad you're holding up! I'm can only imagine how devastating that was. I'm glad to hear your dh is doing well after the chemo and all. Sounds like you guys have been through a lot! Best wishes for you!!

 

[stacergirl]

I kinda just got some good news, my biopsy came back negative, so that's good (even though I'm not quite sure what it was negative for?! Lol) and then she told me I can schedule my final ivf appt the same cycle as I do my day 2/3 blood work, which is great because I thought I was going to have to wait another cycle. So looks like 25 days and then I'm on my way!! Woo hoo! I just found out through the grapevine that a woman in my bldg at work got pregnant after ivf. Not sure how many cycles they did or what doc they went to buy at least that's positive for us!! I'm working on a project with her husband so I wonder if he will share more details!?! Of course I'd love to know! Lol but the good news is they got a positive!

 

[hmommy219]

Hi girls!!

Stacer.. glad to hear your biopsy came back negative, and great news to hear of someone else getting preggers with IVF... I always LOVE to hear those stories!!

Sandy, welcome! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that this will be the magic cycle for you, and I'm sorry to hear that your DH went through chemo. You guys deserve a wonderful blessing in your lives now.

As for me, still just playing the darn waiting game. Want to get this cycle over with so I can begin the 'good stuff'

Oh, and Stacer.. you are right; I am at Fertility Care with Dr. T. My girlfriend had both her children there through IVF so she referred him. I'm hoping I get as lucky as she did.

Whoever asked the question about 21 days with bcp.. I'm interested in that too. Is that common? I'm praying I'll be the exception (yeah right) and only have to do the two week stint on the pill. )

Chat soon- and stay healthy!
