Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

Stay positive Mrs w, which nurse did you see today? They wouldnt be suggesting ivf if you didnt have a good chance of it working and the ladies are right, the stimms will help you produce some good follicles so chin up!
I ended up with lots more than at my baseline after stimming, just try to take each day at a time and each time you inject remember your dream at the end of this xx
 
Mrs W, I think she was just counting your antral follicle, which is different. My first follicle count without stimming was 24. After stimming, I only had 16. So don't worry :). Everything will work out :).
 
Jaybo - Really sorry and big hugs. We're all here if you need to vent. This rollercoaster sucks x

Mrs W - Yay for starting! Sorry the nurse was negative, which nurse did you see at complete? A lot can change once you start stemming x

Star - how are you feeling?

Afm - Getting a bit worried about AF being missing in action now. I've never been a week late and FRER confirmed bfn 2day (DH was curious in case!). Does anyone know if there's a chance my cyst from last month could still be lingering and causing my cycle to go weird or do cysts not interfere with cycle lengths? Probably going to phone the clinic on Monday regardless of whether she shows (or speak to GP) as I'm concerned there's something wrong :(

Do you track ovulation? Can you be you just ovulated later this month?
 
Mrs W- You can't develop more follicles, I was told, but they can sometimes miss them at baseline or at down-reg scan as they're small at that stage. So you might have an extra couple which are just hiding a bit! :)

Massive hugs, Jaybo. I'm so upset on your behalf. Hope you and DH can comfort each other xxx

Thanks First, CMo, BMW and all on your warm wishes for my embies in particular and my chances in general :hugs:
 
Sparkle, I must admit I have no idea re cyst interference or why AF is MIA (or more accurately WTF!) but I hope your clinic can help :hugs:
 
Bump, I don't think cysts hinder AF but not really sure about this. But if you do have cysts, depending on your E2 level, they could cancel your cycle. sounds like you have a good plan already. :). Hopefully, it's nothing serious and you just ovulated late.
 
Really?? I asked her and she said that was probably it and no more would pop up, it was just a case of trying to grow those ones? I'm confused now. Has anyone else ended up with more follicles than they started with at baseline scan?

I really hope you guys are right. I so want to feel positive and relaxed about this! First injection tomorrow morning. Next scan Wednesday.

Thanks everyone xx


Me! I only have 1 ovary and had 4 follicles to start, then a few days later a different nurse scanned me and found 6, then that was it until EC when they found 8!

I guess it depends how good they are at scanning for them
 
Thanks everyone! Beth I thought that was the case for you, hopefully a few more may appear for me! I'm just praying I respond well to the stims and that when I get back even if its only the 4-5 that all are growing well. First injection done this morning and it wasn't that bad, the needle was so fine I couldn't feel it!

Star I can't remember her name, she's got long ish blonde hair and is about 50 I'd say? We had her for our nurse consult too and she's really nice, she wasn't exactly being negative, more that I felt she was concerned by the low number really. We will see.

Bump have you called the clinic? They might get you in the scan you and check. Shame it wasn't a last minute natural bfp, that's what I was hoping for!! Maybe you did ovulate later than you think, or maybe all the anticipation of the cycle has delayed it?

X
 
Thanks ladies! I'll definitely be phoning the clinic either way on Monday I reckon. Been under tons of stress the past few months so perhaps it's just that.

Star - did they invite you in for a scan when your AF didn't arrive on time?
 
Hi everyone! Sorry I don't participate very much but I do read what's happening. I can't keep up sometimes!

I'm sorry Jaybo, sending huge hugs xx

Aurora, I have my fingers crossed for you!

Mrs w, by what everyone is saying there's plenty of opportunity for more which is awesome :)

I'm on day 4 of stims today, and the upped my dose to 4 amps as of yesterday as they thought I needed a 'boost'. They said my blood result was 800 after 2 days but I'm not sure what that means! Reviewed again on Monday. Did anybody have this? I really hope I'm not a poor responder :(
 
Thanks Amoreamy! I'm afraid I don't know about the bloods etc but fingers crossed that everything's progressing well <3
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words, it means a lot. :hugs: I'm doing surprisingly ok actually. DH has been amazing. I think I knew with only one embie making it till day 3 my chances were slim. Just trying to collect my thoughts and figure out what the heck to do next! :shrug:


For now I'm just going to be cheering you lovely ladies from the sidelines. Hoping for lots of BFPs in the next few weeks. :happydance:

Arora - did you get anymore update on your embies. Hang in there, really hope one of those is your future LO.

Bump - I can't believe AF is still giving you the runaround. She's such a pain. I hope you get some answers from your clinic and don't have to delay treatment.

MrsW - sorry you're disappointed with your AFC. Mine was only 4 on my first scan and after stims there were 7, although for me not all had mature eggs, it's possible that more may show up. FX for lots of growth on the stims.

BMW - hope you're doing ok hun :hugs: not long for you now. So exciting!

Comfy - how are you feeling today? I've got everything crossed for you.

Mo - really excited for your test today.

CMo - sounds like the stims are doing there job. I had some bloating and stretching pains fairly quickly on the stims but it settled down after the first few days. When's your next scan?

Hi everyone else! :waves: Sorry if I missed anything, I hope you're all ok xx
 
Sorry amore I missed your post! I didn't have bloods done either but I know some of the other ladies have so hopefully they'll be able to help. Hope the extra meds do the trick!
 
Thank you! The nurse gave me the number over the phone and I just didn't think to ask her what it actually means!! :doh:

Aurora I forgot to say Aurora is top of my names list for a girl, I think it's the cutest :)
 
Aurora, it could be that you are not responding as they hope for. But don't worry, they know what they are doing and that's why you are monitored and your meds adjusted.

Bump, hopefully your clinic can help you figure out what happened to AF :)

Jaybo, I know that it's still early but I do hope that you will try again. :hugs: so glad to hear that you are feeling ok.

Think this is for you, Amoreamy! ILT you have extra special dispensation to get names mixed up - it's hard enough for me without any baby-brain excuse :haha:

Man I hope my embies are ok today.. Wish we got a daily update. On the other hand, waiting for that call would be even more stressful I bet. At least we can presume we still have at least one left or they'd have called to cancel...

Love to all. Oh btw, I started reading from the start of the thread out of curiosity and Star I can't believe the scratch was only £100 - I had to pay £600. And it's sooo horrid...
 
Whooooppppsss! Hahaha that's what I got for posting at 4am :p.

Aurora, no news is good news in this case :)
 
Jaybo I'm glad you are doing ok at the moment, sometimes you just need some time to recover and then you can start to plan what's next. What is your amh level just out of interest? We are similar age, I'm 34.

Aurora I hope those embies are doing well, do you know when transfer will be?
 
Hey ladies! My test this am wasn't any darker so I have to think at this point I'm not pregnant or it's going to be a chemical. I know it's not the hcg shot at this point. But line should be progressing and darker. It was always darker with my previous pregnancies. I have 5 frosties so guess we will be headings into that as soon as re lets me. If I do natural he may let me next cycle.

Pi is last 3 mornings. No progression.
