Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Jaybo]

So interesting BMW, I'd kinda ruled it out because I thought if I did so bad on high meds I thought I'd have no chance on mild stims. But I guess that's the point. Right, back on my list of clinics to visit now - thank-you!

I felt and thought the same exact way, so imagine how shocked I was during my scan yesterday!!!!

 

[amoreamy]

That's very interesting beneath. It makes sense when your body isn't in too much shock and pressure. Maybe that's a good move for you too Jaybo

ILT good luck with your scan!

afm egg collection tomorrow morning, wish me luck!

 

[CMo]

Amoreamy good luck 2mo morning!!

Jaybo have you thought about your next step?

ILT I'm good thanks. How are you? Can't believe your scan is tomorrow! Time is flying by!

I've got another scan tomorrow then hopefully they'll confirm collection on Friday. Not getting my hopes up as I know that I could phone tomorrow for my blood results and they could delay until Monday.

Thanks Ladies!

Jaybo and Cmo, it feels like forever!

BMW, I told DH that you were doing really well with your stims. He said...well that's because I put my lucky scarf in the box! ahhahaha. My crazy husband! He was really happy for you btw .

Amore, good luck tomorrow! It'll be over before you know it then transfer time .

Cmo, hopefully you'll have retrieval this week too!

 

[amoreamy]

Thank you! Cmo gl for your scan tomorrow x

 

[star25]

Thank you ladies, feels like ive been waiting forever!

Amore, good luck tomorrow, soon you will be pupo too, there will quite a few of us at the same time

Cmo, hioe scan goes well and egg collection is Fri

Bemeath, glad to hear you are doing well, very positive news

 

[Jaybo]

Beneath, I can imagine so excited for you!

Amore - good luck tomorrow. FX for lots of lovely eggies.

CMo - Good luck with your scan tomorrow, hope you get the go ahead for Fri. We're hoping to try again, but need to pay privately now, and can only really afford one go, so feels like a big decision about which clinic/approach to take. I live just outside London, so we're spoilt for choice! I'm trying to reserve judgement a little bit until our NHS follow up appointment tomorrow.

 

[amoreamy]

I forgot to say fantastic star! Here's to being pupo soon! X

 

[beneathmywing]

Amoreamy -- good luck tomorrow!!!!

Cmo-- good luck on your scan tomorrow! Hope you'll be ready for Friday.

ILT-- awww!!!! Thats so nice of your DH! Hehe

Star/Jaybo-- thanks! Now praying they keep growing and will be bigger at next scan Thursday!!

 

[lizzie78]

ILT good luck with your scan tomorrow!

Star, I can't believe how close you are now, very excited for you.

Jaybo, do you have a list of questions ready for tomorrow?? I think choosing a clinic is one of the hardest decisions although I guess at least it will put you back in control of things whilst you work out which one is best for you.

Bmw that's great news about your stims, it just goes to show that despite the way some Ivf clinics operate this really is an individual process and we all have different needs. Glad that things are going well for you.

Amoreamy good luck for tomorrow but you won't need it. Enjoy the sedation

CMo fingers crossed that you do get a date tomorrow. It feels like you've been at this ages so heaven knows how you feel!!

Aurora, I'm so sorry love be kind to yourself, go easy and don't give up. You will get your rainbow baby if you keep trying and keep believing. Xx

Amo good luck tomorrow lovely, will be thinking of you!! How you feeling now?

Lizzie, congrats!! The test looked similar to me, it's too early to worry over test progression I'd say. See what your beta is at your otd. Good luck, all looks good to me!

Cmo good luck at your scan tomorrow! I hope your ec is Friday so amo, me and you are together!

Jaybo - the lister clinic is meant to be the best for low amh and if this cycle fails, I plan to look there next. Worth a go if you're near London.

Ilt how's things with your house buying? Good luck at your scan!

Hello to anyone I've miles see and sorry for the short post tonight. I'm not very well again and really fed up. My throat is all swollen and really painful when I swallow, and I just feel exhausted. Really wanted to do my fertility yoga DVD tonight but going to go to bed instead. Have done my trigger tonight!!!! 36 hours to go now!

Night ladies xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Miles see?!! Missed!!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Massive luck to all my special ladies having important scans, re-tests, meetings and procedures tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you and lurking for the news Painful as it is to be here, I feel bereft without you all too, a bit like Jaybo and Comfy said

 

[beneathmywing]

Lizzie -- So true. What's right for one person may not necessarily be right for someone else!!

MrsW -- Sorry you're feeling so rubbish. Hope you feel better soon!!!! Almost ER time woohoo.

Aurora --

 

[Jaybo]

Aurora - thinking of you and sending lots of love xx

Lizzy - hope you're doing ok today. I have an A4 page of questions! They're going to hate me. There's one male consultant at my hosp who we've only seen once for our first appointment, as we usually see a female Dr. But I'm really hoping to see him today as he was so much more open to discussion than she is. FX

MrsW - Yay for the trigger!! Not long left now. Sorry you're feeling sick - I sware all these visits to the hospital are making us unwell. I love the look of the Lister they're top of my list, only problem is the cost, as they're one of the most expensive clinics. So we could only do one cycle with them or maybe 2-3 somewhere else if we do a package. I'm going to book an initial consultation with them I think though.

ILT - everything crossed for you!

Hi to everyone else! xx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Ladies can I trouble you all for some advice on search terms? I want to find out more about bleeding whilst on progesterone. My full AF hasn't yet arrived, just lots of brown smearing (sorry TMI!) and one red smear 2 nights ago. Is it just because progesterone lets some bleeding happen but not the whole lot? I'm still on the progesterone as I have to wait for OTD for clinic to take me off it and technically I'm still getting BFPs albeit no progression. I know I mustn't get hopes up but it's hard to move forward. Where should I ask about this? If I try to search I bring up millions of unrelated threads! I'm so crap at searching the forums! Thank you.

 

[lizzie78]

ILT - good luck today!

Jaybo - ha ah you are like me I had the same size list and to be fair they answered all of them relatively patiently. Good luck x

Mrs W - sorry you are poorly again, its not fair is it! hope you feel better soon.

Aurora, that doesnt really sound like bleeding to me...?? I'l see what I can find through Dr google but remember the internet isnt always our friend. What date is your OTD? Guessing your unhelpful clinic wouldn't give you any advice until after that? Weren't you on progesterone last cycle? If it didnt stop your AF coming then I'd be surprised if it did this time?

[Aurora CHK]

Hi Lizzie. Last time I started bleeding/spotting on OTD, I stopped taking the Prog that day (due to very clearly diminishing BFP lines eg no viable pregnancy) and full AF arrived next day, so I had some bleeding whilst still on it but don't know if full AF would still have arrived next day if I hadn't stopped Prog the previous day on OTD iykwim?

 

[Aurora CHK]

Sorry, didn't answer everything. Otd is Monday 2nd and yes clinic won't engage with me until then it seems From my reading, my main signal of failure isn't necessarily the bleeding but lack of progression. Bleeding could have been due to something else if coupled with darkening lines, but they definitely aren't. I'm trying to believe it's that one has failed but the other might still be there, but that seems too convenient! I'm just refusing to face reality I think, out of desperation.
