Well I was due to have my first egg pick up around the 12th of April. I went in for my scan before starting injections and everything was on track... the nasal spray was doing it's job and I was told to start on injections but then they noticed that my rubella blood test results had been flagged - low immunity so I was advised to get reimmunised and wait atleast 28 days before trying to get pregnant.
The clinic has had these results for 6 weeks so I was furious that they didn't tell me earlier (I could have been immunised and waited the 28 days whilst I was on the contraceptive pill).
I was told I might have to start all over again (with going back on the pill after I was immunised) but then the doctor said I could stay on the nasal spray to keep my cycle where it is for another month and then we'll start on the injections.
Thank god I haven't had serious side effects from the spray (just feeling pretty tired). Now I will end up being on it for 8 weeks.
Egg pick up might be around the 10th of May now. I'm feeling very frustrated with all the delays and I haven't even really started yet. I know it will still be a long process from when I start injections (especially as I know the chances of getting pregnant first go aren't great).

Lori thats a shame you will be put back waiting until you have given the immunisation time to do its thing, how frustrating! Luckily you are coping with the Synarel side effects. Have you thought about having a Berocca a day, thats what my FS has me on and it helps with my energy levels.
Petta, thank you for the advice on Lucrin, it turns out that is what has been recommended for my next cycle. Its expensive but we all know about that!
Im taking DHEA hoping to improve my egg quality, and will try naturally until my next IVF treatment. I tried using a urine test/pregnancy planner that measures your rising LH levels, but I didn't have a positive result for the 7 days I tested (at the time I should have been ovulating), so Im not sure if I have even ovulated this month?
Im thinking I might try taking my temperature and charting my mucous (as I read about in the Billings Method book) and see if I can work out what my body is up to.
Cycle delayed
