Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[CMo]

Hi hope everyone is well!

Mobaby I def don't have any problems with you talking about your LO. U went through so much to have one that u'll be a fountain of knowledge for us all in the next few months xxx

 

[star25]

I'm ok thank u, got my scratch on Monday, juat want to find out what the earliest date is I can start after Xmas and hope af arrives at a convenient time! X

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mobaby, are you going to start Stims soon? Wait, are you going to do FET or fresh?

Star, looks like we might start around the same time.

Nothing much going on with me beside waiting. 11 more days before november ends.

ILove: I have no frosties unfortunately I used all 6 embryos to get my LO. So it will be fresh. I hope to start stims by mid January with EC end jan or early feb. I want to be preggo by LO 1 year birthday. My AF was scheduled to arrive Nov 29th but I just had symptoms of ovulation (I am in-tune with ovulation; have ovulation cramps, spotting and pain every cycle) yesterday and today so it looks like AF will arrive 3 days late. I then will have bloodwork, ultrasound and saline sonogram. I am hoping hoping hoping that my RE lets me start BCP on CD 3 vs making me wait an entire month because then I can go early january vs feb. I will BEG them since I have done this so many times before I do not see them having an issue with it.

Hi ladies!


Thanks for the welcome!


So we got a date for the delivery of our meds today! Next AF due on the first week of Dec when I will start BCP. All being well EC will be the last week of Jan. Wow after so much waiting and tests it all seems to be happening really quickly now. Although I'm sure the wait over Christmas will seem long!


Star sorry if this is a stupid question but what's a scratch?


MoBaby sounds like you went through so much to have your LO. I love success stories gives me lots of hope! I hope you don't have to wait an extra month to start again!


Hope everyone else is doing well.

Mobaby just looking at your signature......so when you had your LO did you have 1 full cycle of ivf with 6 embies then do fet or did you need more than one cycle (sorry my questions are starting already lol) xx

Hi, girls.. been lurking the thread!


Ugh...really upsetting I have to join another IVF thread. I had my first IVF in August that failed. Started my second in October that turned into an IUI, because of poor response to meds. That IUI failed. I am now waiting for my consult with a new RE on December 3rd and then possible try IVF again in January/February depending on how that appointment goes.

Hope I can join you ladies in the meantime.

I know a few of you already.. :wave: Ilovetomatoes & Star

Cmo I did 3 full cycle rounds first. Had 2 embryos: bfn. No frosties. Then 2 embryos: mmc. No frosties. The. 6 embryos: 2 transferred and 4 frozen. Chemical. 1st fet 1 embryo: mc. Then 1 transferred: chemical. Then last 2 transferred: bfp and my LO.
So 3 full ivf/icsi cycles, 6 transfers including 3 fets. I always had great eggs but dh has bad sperm which is why more could to be frozen. We did have more blasts but poor quality.

Hi all! Hope you don't mind me crashing the party 😉

I've done a fresh IVF in February, transferred 2 5-day blasts, BFN. May FET, transferred 2 hatching blasts, BFN. This summer I've taken a little break, over indulged, de-stressed and recharged. I've changed RE clinics and I'm finally ready to give it another try. We have a new plan, and I'm hoping this will be the cycle that sticks!

Blood work all looked good, except borderline thyroid function. Anyone else have this? Tsh is 3.6 and he wants it around 2.5 before starting the next cycle, so we started synthroid and will recheck here in a couple weeks. Then we had a hystoscope, I think that's the name, last week where they found polyps which were removed. I'm Hoping this will act like a scratch and help with implantation... Next appointmeant will be on Dec 5, a postop check and hopefully thyroid will be better. If so then I'll start BCP and I'm hoping for a transfer sometime in January. My new doctor seems really surprised that I've had 2 bfn, no chemical, no nothing. He thinks that with the advances in IVF that there should have been some sign of implantation by this time. It makes me feel a little bit better, but so many people on these boards have been through multiple cycles with BFN, so I'm not sure what to think anymore.

Hope we can all provide some support to each other through this crazy time, and in the end have some nice baby bumps to show off!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mobaby, I hope your RE let you take BCP earlier. I don't see why not. My RE lets me take it 2 months prior to Stims.

Jaybo, yay for the meds. don't be surprise though...there are lots of them .

BMW, sorry to see you on this thread. But hopefully, this is our lucky thread!

Deepsea, welcome!

 

[star25]

Ilt, I hope we are starting at the same time

mobaby, thats so good how in tune you are with ovulation, wish I could do that but my cycles are too crazy! Hope you can start early Jan

Jay, an endometrial scratch is where they scratch the womb to help improve success rate of implantation, it's similar to a smear test but hurts a bit for a few seconds, not sure how it helps but someone else might be able to explain? At my clinic its £100 so fairly inexpensive and simple procedure for something that could help, its best done 1-2 cycles before ivf cycle

Star - thanks for the info about the scratch, it sounds interesting (and painful!), my clinic never mentioned it. Gosh, there's so much to get your head around! Hope it goes well for you on Monday.


ILT - Hi :wave: I've heard it's a big box of medication but not quite sure how prepared I am for it. My mum's waiting in for the delivery so i should probably warn her too!!

Deepsea - Welcome!

Beneath - sorry your Oct cycle didn't work out. I've been following the Oct/Nov thread and really hope the new year brings good luck for everyone!

 

[CMo]

Hi jaybo, deepsea and beneath. Sorry u've had to come here but I've got a good feeling about 2015, this thread will change very quickly!

Mobaby you're such a superwoman! 3 full cycles and you're still willing to give it your all for a second. Just shows that it's so worth it all in the end!

Just been looking back and am I the only one going through this for the first time? You ladies will be so fed up with me and all my questions. Plan to soak up all your experience xxx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jaybo, my meds filled up half of kitchen cabinets and some occupied half of the shelf in my fridge

Cmo, you are not the only one. This is my first IVF too.

Well, after 2 weeks on BCP, I finally ready to get back on the treadmill. Hopefully, it'll last till before stims

 

[beneathmywing]

Hope this thread is super lucky for us all!!!!

 

[MoBaby]

Yes hope it is!

3 full cycles and 6 transfers to get LO was worth it for us. But I'm only doing 1 cycle for #2 so what ever comes of it I need to be ok with the outcome. I'm not willing to go through all that again.

I had an entire pantry full of meds too! And sooo many needles and syringes. It's overwhelming!

Ilove hope it's last for you too!
Bfps to all!

 

[star25]

Cmo, it's my first time for a transfer, I have my embies waiting as cycled a few weeks ago but had ro freeze them due to ohss so couldn't have a transfer x
