TTC and endometriosis :(

[YearningHeart]

I think mine is long protocal. I first took Microgynon tablets for 3 weeks and that us birth control pill as far as I know. Once I stopped that, I then moved to the Gonal F injection

pbl - Heyyyy dont stress, I pray you get good news tomorrow. Make sure you keep us updated. Best of Luck!

Im taking 150 dosage. What about u?

They started me out at 150, too. Then 75, then 37.5, now back at 75.


And yes, sounds like long protocol to me!

Well I had two ovaries in 2009 but after hsg they think I have one ovary and tube missing or not attached. They seem to have dismissed endo completely, I also suffered a severe infection after hsg and nearly had it all removed.

I think endo has blocked one side of me personally. I have heavy periods that are 28-31 days but only last 3 days, very painful. This month I experienced spotting 4 days before for the first time.

This month I tried an ovulation kit and I had a positive although I believe it doesn't prove you ovulate or that your eggs are good.

I'm based in china now so it's very difficult, I have requested photos from my lap in 2009. I also don't like to leave things, are there tests I could do?

It's nice to hear from people with endo, it's so hard to talk about sometimes.

Good luck ladies x

So the docs now think I actually ovulated prematurely, some time last week. This cycle has apparently been over for days, even though I didn't know it.

We've been told to consider whether we want to try this again or move straight to IVF.

 

[YearningHeart]

pbl - Im sorry to hear that! Lots of hugs! xx

Take your time to decide what you want, I hope it all works out for you!

By the way what country are you from because your timing is very different to mine. Im from UK.

 

[pbl_ge]

Timing? I'm in the US.

Oh I don't get it how can the ovary be missing now , you can go for another HSG with a new doctor to reconfirm it. You can also start charting if you are not. I know +opk does not mean confirmed ovulation. But I have seen cases where ladies get PG with one ovary and tube with no problem. I mean you just need one good quality egg and sperm. I know endo can be so tough, we are here to support each other

Oh no , were you charting, did it show temp shift. The bright side is you know the meds react well with you and when you go for IVF you have a good chance of BFP.

Heart , I think they do long protocol with endo ladies. Even the doc I consulted told me about long protocol. Gonal F injection is used for egg production. How many Gonal F injection will you be taking.Sending you wishes that you produce good quality + quantity egg

 

[YearningHeart]

Hi ladies!

I just had my scan today after taking Gonal F, Now from today I will be taking Cetrotide injection as well continuing the Gonal F (I cant wait til all these injections finish!) Also today I had to have a blood test too. The nurse couldnt find my vein and she took the needle in and out which stressed me and made me panic, then she sent me to the main blood centre which they also found it hard to get my vein and they said that was because I was dehydrated so I had to drink water thereafter it was fine.

How you ladies been? xx

 

[pbl_ge]

Yearning, drink lots of water! Better yet an electrolyte drink, like Gatorade. Did they see good #s of follies?

 

[YearningHeart]

pbl - Thanks for the tip! Yeah I do need to drink a lot of water. The Doc said they its all fine but still early days. x

 

[Coolstar]

Yayyy anything for the baby Drink as much water as you can. Baby dust to you !!

Pbl -

Yearning - Good luck for your stims!

 

[Coolstar]

Hi Ladies, how is everyone doing ?

 

[pbl_ge]

I'm still reeling from my disaster of a cycle, and deciding what we want to do next. Have found out my insurance covers nearly 100% of IVF, so I may do it much sooner than I expected.

How are you, Cool?

 

[Goldfish]

I got AF today The worst thing was I managed to make both me and hubby think that I might actually be pregnant because it was a few days later than my 'average' cycle (even though I didn't test!). Today I rang the fertility clinic and somehow got a last minute appt tomorrow after a walk-in blood test today, so hopefully I can start my next IVF ASAP!

Pbl - I'm glad you don't have to worry about it from a financial point of view. My first IVF was fully covered by the NHS (UK public health system) but we are paying for this next one ourselves.

Cool - how are you doing?

 

[YearningHeart]

Goldfish - Just out of interest how many NHS funded IVF are you entitles to?

 

[Goldfish]

My PCT only funds 1 round! I know some areas get up to 3 rounds but i think that's quite unusual. What about you?
