Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[lizzie78]

Morana - so sorry to hear your update, IVF is full of such hope and such heartbreak. Hope your DH is being nice to you. bet you are dreading having to put a good face on for work tomorrow so hope that you manage ok xxx

Welcome Mrs W although i havent been on here for a few days and its been so busy you aren't really new anymore lol

Jaybo - I think I remember both more watery CM and some EWCM although the EWCM is fairly normal for me it was the watery that was more noticeable. i'm sure that it's a good sign that everything is working as it should do though since you are stimming.

Aurora - Vitamin C has worked for me in the past when i've been desperate for AF to start so that might be worth a shot too.

Afm, feeling more positive today. Amazing what a good night's sleep and the sun being out can do for a girl. DH has gone out on his bike and i didnt feel up to joining him so just workign through my chores and a spot of work before chilling out this afternoon hopefully. Have my scan tomorrow to confirm downreg and am really nervous after the problems I had before. Hoping that with the higher dose that i've been on everything will be fine - fingers crossed, I'm SO ready to move on a stage lol.

Aurora, hope scan goes well thurs and af shows quicker!
Ive been taking vit c and dtd to make it arrive but no luck, look like it will be provera sat, last night I thought my boobs hurt which is a good sign af is a week away but this morning they dont, I'll see how they are when I take my bra off later!

Lizzie, hope all goes well and you can start the next phase, enjoy your Sunday, sounds like a relaxing one, it's my bday today so we're just going to go for a long drive and walk with the dog andgo for dinner in a country pub if I ever decide which one I want to go to!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mrs W, you never know. FX everything will go well .

Jaybo, I didn't have much CM during Stim but have heard that somecwomen did. You won't be ovulating on your own. Not sure which protocol you are but after a certain petiod of time, you are suppose to take an additional med injection. That particular injection suppose to prevent your body to ovulate by itself. My RE gave me ganirelix for that. but I'd check with my RE just to be safe. Maybe they need to adjust your meds sooner.

Aurora and Star, hopefully you'll get AF soon.

Lizzie, good luck tomorrow.

Mobaby, you have scan tomorrow too, right? FX for lots of follicles.

Cmo and Comfy, how are you?

First, 1 more day and hopefully you'll find out the PGD result.

BMW, hope time is passing by quickly for you.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Happy birthday star!!! Hope you have a lovely afternoon. Dinner in a country pub sounds lovely, where do you live? I hope af arrives soon before you need provera. I'm so new to all this, is it just a drug to induce af?

I haven't even ovulated yet this cycle so I've got ages to wait but I'm just focusing on relaxing, eating well and yoga to make sure I am in tip too shape when I start! (I'm so impatient!!!)

Hi lizzie! What is downreg, is that bcp before you start? I hope you can move on to the next stage very soon.

Jaybo, obvs I've no idea being new to all this but I get loads of Ewcm before ov for days and days so it makes sense with all the stims that your body is gearing up and getting ready. I'd guess its just the drugs. When is your next scan?

We've just taken dd swimming and now I'm going to have lunch, clean the windows (joy house is for sale, sick of cleaning!!!) then my fertility yoga DVD, dinner, paint nails, bed!!! Zzzzzz

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Oh ya! Happy birthday Star!

Mrs W, we are selling our house too! Hopefully both of our houses will sell fast

 

[CMo]

Hey ladies

Hope you're all well.

Morana I'm absolutely devastated to hear your news. Please look after yourself!

ILT how are you feeling? Is your OTD tomorrow?

I'm still popping my BCP, 11 days to go before injections start. Was again family party last night and obviously not drinking, which they all clicked onto straight away cos I never say no to alcohol. Needless to say most if them now know. They knew we were going for icsi just not when. Must say I feel very smug today having no hangover!!

Hope everyone else is well!! Xxx

 

[Jaybo]

Thanks ladies! Hopefully it's a good sign that my eggs are ripening!! I'm on a long protocol of menopur and busrelin, they didn't mention any other injections, but next scan tomorrow morning so I'll check with RE then.

Happy birthday Star! Hope you have a lovely day.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Cmo, feeling good. Just very tired and starting to have nausea. I now go to bed at 8:30 and nothing can wake me up! I haven't been drinking much for almost a year now. I do miss it once in a while but definitely do not miss the hangover .

looks like we have a couple ladies going for scan tomorrow. FX for lots of healthy follicles!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hope so ilt, we've been trying to sell for ages and we've found our dream home so I'm anxious to sell asap before someone else snaps it up!

What does otd stand for? X

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Otd = official testing date

 

[beneathmywing]

Jaybo -- I think the cm is normal. I had quite a lot of it myself days before ER. Definitely ask your doctor if you will be doing any injections to prevent ovulating though!!

Lizzie -- Glad to hear you are feeling more positive Good luck at your scan tomorrow. Hope it goes perfectly!

Star -- Happy birthday, girl!!!!! Enjoy your day!!!!

ILT -- Time is actually going fast. 20ish more days for me! lol

Cmo -- Hope the next 11 days go by fast for you!!


Sorry if I missed anyone xx hope you all have a great Sunday

 

[Aurora CHK]

Makes sense for the cm on reflection, as think it's oestrogen (aka estrogen/estradiol) that makes it watery/ewcm x

 

[star25]

Thank you for all the bday wishes!

Mrs w, I live on isle of wight, had a lovely roast pork with ginger pudding afterwards after a cold walk on the beach! Sounds like you had a busy day
Yes provera is a progesterone to induce af, I take it for 5 days then I normally get af 5 days after stopping it

Good luck to everyone for the coming week!

Ilt, do you also do a blood test?

 

[lizzie78]

Stra, happy birthday!! Sounds like a perfect afternoon x

Mrs w I didn't do bcp so not too sure where they factor in. I do injections of buserelin/suprecur to shut down my ovaries etc. if everything has gone well I should start building my lining back up from tomorrow ready for FET, this is when in a fresh round you would start stims
Xxx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks ladies, I've got so much to learn!! My appointment with the nurse is just over a week away so will know more then about that drugs I will be given etc.

Star we are not far away, I live near Chichester. Your meals sounds gorgeous!! X

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Star, yes. I have to do 2 bloodtests. 1 on monday and another one on Wednesday. Luckily, we can make an appointment at our lab and an envelope for rush order. I usually got my results around 1 pm .

 

[beneathmywing]

ILT -- I am so excited for your beta!! AHHHH!

 

[Comfycushions]

Happy Sunday ladies!

Star hope you've had a lovely birthday, sounds like you had a good plan for the day.

Lizzie it's amazing the difference a bit of sunshine can make isn't it. Hope you've had the relaxing afternoon you wanted.

Jaybo, sounds like we're on the same drug protocol.

I had fun at party last night (although was definitely ready for my bed!) It was fancy dress, which I don't normally like, but I enjoyed dressing as a scary clown. Did feel a bit shifty driving over there though in freaky outfit.
IVF wise I've messed up both my injections today. Trying to get air bubble out of seprecur one I somehow managed to dislodge the needle and spayed it all in my face. Wasted about 0.75ml. Hoping I won't need to get another vial to see me to the end of the cycle.
Then this evening I forgot that water can get trapped in the bulbous bit of the mixing water bottle. Only noticed when I came to inject that I had half the amount of fluid. I checked each vial as I went along and didn't see any residue left I any so hopefully I got all the powder.
All in all bit grumpy with myself. Hope nurse says not end o world when I go for my scan tomorrow. Looking forward to 10PM, shift being over and snuggling down in bed.

 

[MoBaby]

ILT where are you located at for time zone.. Just wondering what time to be looking out for your results!!

 

[19yrOldGirl]

Iv been a missing alot in my time away, I think iv kind of caught up but just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone and good luck to ilt for your otd.

Afm other then completely falling off the face of earth I have just got a new job and offically started on Wednesday and tonight was my first buserlin injection or however it is spelt. To say I'm petrified of needles I made a very scary choice to go with injections rather than nasel spray this time as last try it took an extra week of the nasel spray before stims so hears hoping 2nd try is my sticky bean 😊
