Thanks for sharing Penny! Good luck for your next cycle. I have my first appointment with FN on Friday. Looking forward to starting the process, but very hesitant with the odds not being in our favour.
I wish everyone all the best for 2014 and really hope you all receive a positive, well deserving outcome!
Has anyone tried seeing a naturopath who specialises in fertility? This was recommended to me, but was wondering if anyone had success with it?
Elarwood goodluck with your results! Here's hoping they come back normal and you can start your cycle x
Snazzy I did see a naturopath who specialised in fertility for a few months. I was on Chinese herbs and acupuncture. Obviously it didn't have any effect on me and I have heard that they only help if you're not ovulating in the first place. I'd give it a shot though as you never know!
Afm, started stims yesterday. Im not near as excited as I was last time for some reason?? I've been feeling pretty average the past few days so that might be the reason.
How are follicles going Penny? I hope your ovaries are working hard. It's hard to feel positive after such a let down last cycle.
I had Hysterscopy/biopsy/lipiodol flush on Thursday & AF arrived today. See FS day 6 to start stims but will make it Friday as ill get results from immune testing on Thursday & want to discuss it with FS. I really hope there isn't anything wrong!
Elarwood all going well sweets. Day 8 today of stims and having ewcm like crazy! Had my first scan yesterday and there were 4 follis on each side measuring over 10mm so that's hopeful! Am expecting epu to be mid or late next week yay.
Glad your af should up and didn't stuff you around!
Hope you get some answers elarwood when you see your fs.
All sounding great for you penny! Grow follies, grow!!!
How'd you go snazzy with your fs?
AFM still just sniffing away. Don't start stims until next Saturday. The synarel has been giving me headaches & giddy spells. Oh the joys! Starting to slow down to give my body the opportunity to do what it needs to do (hopefully, fingers crossed). With this being our last chance, need everything to go smoothly. I have been running almost 5km every day (needing to loose some weight!) so will drop that back to just a few km's of walking most days if my body feels up to it. My accupuncturist has made me promise to take it easy 😊
Elarwood fingers crossed over the next few days for you!
Penny your last post sounded really positive, good luck for the next week I hope it goes well!
Wow joe, you've been working hard! 5km run is a fantastic effort and sure to burn the calories each day. Good idea for slowing down a little now, let your body do what it needs to do. Good luck for Saturday!
All went well with FN. It was a lot of information to take in for my first visit.
I started my first lot of stims on Sunday so I then move to morning and afternoon injections on Thursday. I have my first ultrasound on Saturday to see if I'm responding to the medication then we will see where to from there.
I've been feeling bloated and irritable over the last 2 days so I hope this passes shortly!
Good luck penny - how many follicles/eggs are you expecting? Hope it all goes well.
Snazzy - how are your follicles going?
Joe - the synarel is giving me headaches as well - cant wait to finish the stuff. Yay for starting on Sat. One day behind me :-)
I have an appt tomorrow to start our cgh cycle..however...got test results back from reproductive immunologist & long story short we finally have the answer to our issues! DH & I have 4 HLA genetic matches (very rare) which basically means my body doesn't recognize the embryos as being different & will reject them. Far out! Was not expecting that but certainly explains why the last 11 embryos & 8 cycles including the 6 CGH embryos haven't worked/chemicals. There is treatment for it thankfully - LIT done in Sydney twice before transfer 4 weeks apart. So our plan is to do the cycle as planned but freeze all & transfer after we've done the treatment. I also have high natural killer cells etc Will discuss with FS tomorrow to make sure he's on board. Good news is that I don't need clexane - will be giving that one a miss!
Elarwood I have my first ultrasound on Saturday morning, so fingers crossed. At the moment the puregon has made me bloated, achy and hot flushes and I started the orgalutran this morning and broke out with a itchy raised rash which went away after a few hours. Has anyone else had similar side effects?
Elarwood it must be such a relief to finally have some answers!! Good luck for your next round!
Holy crap elarwood! What are the chances of that? Good news is that at least there is a treatment that is tried & tested. Hoping it all goes well for you xx
Looks like everyone is almost in full swing here. Wishing every one best of luck xx
I had my scan yesterday, it was cd7 and the biggest follicle measured at 10mm, so they still have quite a bit of growing to do. She said I had a good amount, but didn't say how many.
I go back Monday for another scan and they will then discuss where to from there!
I hope everyone else is traveling well!xo
Ladies clinic called yesterday and 10 eggs have fertilised normally and there's a few slow movers and a few that fertilised abnormally......so all looking good No update today but will have one tomorrow x
Afm, clinic just called and 11 embys are going strong! She said that 4 out of the 11 are A grade and the best you can get and then the rest are B grade yaaaay so exciting. Feeling so blessed and lucky at the moment but I know a lot will probably drop off by Wednesday. Waiting on another call tomorrow to book in transfer x
That's great news Penny! Hoping they all keep growing well xx
AFM only had 2 days of gonal f and already feeling sore. They have put me on 350 this time which may have something to do with it! That has certainly put paid to any more running. My walk this morning was hard enough 😊
Quick question...how to tell your family you are doing a cycle? I have never had this problem before as my family live interstate but they are coming up on Friday to visit for a few days right in the middle of my cycle. Would prefer to not have to deal with it at all but I can't really hide it either. Any suggestions greatly appreciated xx
