Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

Well done Mo, that's great!

Beth - don't lose heart yet - symptoms seem to mean so little really - its like reading tealeaves or something really when we symptom-spot I think. I have had 3 BFPs and more BFNs than I like to remember, and really in all honesty I can't say there was anything consistent between them. I've had so many 'I'm sure I'm pregnant' or 'I'm sure I'm not' moments and been completely wrong :haha: Good luck for your next test.

I think with trigger, it depends how much you use - should be 5 days for 5,000 pregnyl or 10 days for 10,000 pregnyl, I was told but not sure how accurate this is, might depend on how our bodies individually process stuff maybe? :shrug:

I've been reviewing my stats and last cycle we had the same number of eggs, they were larger at this stage, but the lining was thinner and oestrogen was lower. Its so frustrating that my eggs/follies just seem so small/slow this time, especially as I've worked so hard to try to improve their quality with all the DHEA and what not. I'm wondering whether to just go ahead even if we might only get two eggs and just hope against hope that they fertilise and develop. Hey, if nothing else I will get my anaesthetic experience :wacko:
I am just kidding of course, trying to make light of a situation which is actually making me pretty damn miserable!! But what do you guys think - would you go ahead with the chance of only retrieving like two eggs? I am only after one baby after all! And at least there'd be a (dim) chance that way, whereas cancellation obviously doesn't have any chance. But part of me thinks that if we cancel, we might be able to get enough money refunded to try once more, and to try to get more eggs again? Eurgh, I wish we were rich! Not for material stuff but just for lovely IVF drugs!

Speaking of which, I've never heard of Meronial, Amoreamy - will have to do some research [opens Google in new tab]...

I was in your shoes back in November. I had 4-5 follies, but only 2 were of size and the others stopped growing. My re made me decide on going forward and only having 2 eggs and then pray that they actually fertilize or cancel and do IUI instead. I decided to cancel because it would have killed me to have zero fertilize and spend all that money, like you said, plus seeing as how the other follies stopped growing I was afraid their quality wasn't the best. I got a refund of the services not used and am trying again hoping for better chance this time. It is a hard decision and I cried and cried about it, but end of the day you just have to do what's right for you. :hugs:
 
Bumpsparkle hate waiting for af! Hope it comes soon enough.
 
Bumpsparkle, I feel your frustration, hope its here soon

Mrs w, hope you all feel better soon readyfor your cycle!

Beneath, nearly time for you too, looks like you and Mrs w will be together :)

Afm, counting down the day's til Mondays scan, so far a bit spotty from the estrogen I think as not normally spotty now!
 
Morning ladies!

Mo that's great news about the frosties. Brilliant!:happydance:

Beth, I agree, don't give up hope yet. Hoping you have better news in a couple of days.

Good luck this morning Libby if you decide test.

Jaybo, hope you're ok, think maybe I missed if you were testing.

Aurora really hoping your scan looks better this morning. I'll be thinking of you.:hugs:

Sorry to all the people I haven't mentioned-it's tricky when you miss a couple of days! But great there's so many of us chatting away!!

I've just been lying low. My innards still feel a bit bruised and tender. Think I expected to feel different somehow but I feel just the same (apart from the sensation of leaking cyclogest-lol sorry tmi):haha:

Taking the cat to be put to sleep this morning. :cry: DH says she was waiting to make sure our babies to be here safe before she left us. I'm not sure if I think that's more creepy that cute!!
 
BMW - AF was due Sat but I guess I'll just have to be more patient :-)

Good luck to those with scans and testing today! x
 
Thanks BMW, Lizzie, Comfy and all for your good wishes :hug:

My body continues to be random - the three larger eggs spurted like crazy and are now all ready :shrug: but the other four have done bugger all, so not sure if should wait and hope they catch up but risk the ready ones over-ripening, or just go with those three and hope against hope they fertilise and become embryos. Gah, it's never easy...

Leaking cyclogest, oh yes I remember it well - a certified knicker-ruiner, that is. Even pads seemed unable to stop its waxy destruction of perfectly fine pants!
 
Comfy, thinking of your lovely kitty. So sorry :hugs:

BMW, thanks for sharing your story. Low reserve is so cruel. We never did iui (as DH :spermy: are so lazy, those egg-shy skivers!) but I sometimes wonder if we need to consider it more as IVF just doesn't seem to suit my terrible egg supply! We've had two natural BFPs but we just don't know why we've never had a sticky one - had all the tests but nothing found. It must feel even more unfair for you and DH as at least I know my declining age is probably a factor. Fx this is your lucky cycle xxx
 
Oh Libby :hugs:

Do you want to talk/rant or just need some time? Forgive me but I can't recall what dpt you are at but I know a bfn is always heartbreaking no matter when xxx
 
Sorry Libby, now found/remembered it's 7dp5dt. Thinking of you so much and hoping you've got some good support with you right now.
 
So sorry libby, when is otd? Sending you hugs xx

Comfy, sorry about your poor cat :( xx

Aurora, good news theyve had a spurt, one of them could well be your baby so stay positive, like we say we only need one xx
 
Morning ladies

Libby so sorry to hear your news. Is today OTD?

How is everyone else? Anyone near testing this week?

I'm on day 4 of burselin. Got my scan on thurs to see if I'm ready to move onto stims. Can I ask, should af appear at some point? I've taken 2 weeks of the pill now onto my week of injections then straight onto stims with no gap. Wasn't sure if af should appear before starting stims? Xx
 
Aurora that's really tough. What did your clinic suggest? It's true those 3 could all be super. It's so frustrating when our bodies mess about and make this even tougher than it is already.

Libby I'm so, so sorry to hear your news.:hugs:

Mo I did have a bleed after about 10 days on the evil buserelin but I didn't do bcp so I don't know what would be expected in those circumstances. Hope Thursday's scan show you good to go.

Bump, sorry af still being elusive.

Cat went when we popped to the shop. Glad she didn't have to go to vet.
 
Libby, I'm sorry for the bfn :hugs:

Comfy, loss of a pet is never easy as they are part of your family and life :hugs:

Bump, hopefully AF arrives sooner than Saturday.

BMW, not to long now.

Aurora, hopefully the other 4 will have a bit of a growth spurt. When is your trigger?

Cmo, AF showed up 2 days after I started stim and nurse did warn me about that. It's pretty normal. Yaaayy for starting stim.
 
Libby :( :hugs:
Comfy sorry about the cat. I have a cat over 17 yes old. I dread the day he's gone :(

Aurora: I wouldn't risk losing those eggs. The others likely aren't as good quality than those 3. They may catch up with trigger as well.

Afm: I have 3 days off to obsess over things lol. M-w is usually stressful at work for me so I didn't want to be bothered with that so I'm not working. I'll take LO to school today so I can relax and maybe tidy up a bit around the house. I'll find someone to hang out with tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm using vaginally progesterone as well. It's awful. 2dpt. 1 week to go!
