Hey jaki i was only confused by the fridge room temp bit but nurse said put it all in the fridge and even orgalutran and take out and let it sit at room temp while i get all sorted for injection so that is what i will do and i have decided not to worry about future cycle's if oct dosn't work and we miss dec we can't afford next year so we will just have to go back to trying natrually it is not the end all and be all i have to be positive.
Ok, thats good to know, i'll ask my nurse too as i have mine in the pantry. The pharmasist had not a clue! lol.
Morning Ladies,
Well last night, took my first Lucrin 10unit injection so its official now, cycle #2 is on its way. YAY!!!
Re your refridgeration questions. Last cycle, I was on Lucrin and Puregon and I was told to keep both in the fridge and as I think Ferrals has been told, take them out a few minutes before the injection and all should be good.
Im excited to have started my cycle #2. Cant wait to start my FSH injections just to see what dose they put me on and then after that, cant wait to see my first US lol. Gee the things we get excited about lol.
Jaki I wish you too the best of luck with your next cycle. Heres hoping the two of us have much better cycles. Like I said to DH the other night when I was all teary, I just want to experience the whole thing this time around, not even getting to harvest the eggs was devestating. Heres hoping my acupuncture is helping with that :).
Talk again soon ladies and be sure to keep me posted on your progress as I will of mine.
Morning ladie's
Motherhood-good to hear your cycle has started i hope this one turn's out much better than the last one.
look's like it's happening for all of us let's hope we all get our BFP's at the end of our cycle's.
AFM-I'm still worried about the whole not responding, not enough egg's, no embryo's to test,being my first cycle i know it's trial and error but i hope my body doe's the right thing for me i'm starting to get slight period pain so AF should be here on sunday when due i have a question if AF turn's up tomorrow and i am supose to have blood test on day 1 of full bleeding that would be sunday how will i have blood test done when no pathology is open?
Ferrals,
Re the BT on a Sunday. Sorry cant be much help here on this one as because Im going through SIVF here in Sydney, its open both Sat and Sun mornings for all that sort of stuff.
Maybe call and ask the nurse what you should do in that instance.
Have a good weekend all!!! Will be watching for any new news!!!
Ferrals my nurse told me to go mon morn if that happens.
Im praying mine comes early in the week as i have a 2 hr drive to the pathologists :(
Motherhood- whoot whoot, is is all very exciting!! Im sending out lots of eggy vibes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xx
Thank's ladie's i'm only 1 hr or so away from sydney so if need be i will drive down there the ivf web page say's blood collection between 7am and 8 15am oh well! it's for a good cause i just hope AF turn's up sunday then i can go to my local pathology 5 min away.
Jaki-2 hour's drive for a blood test you poor bugger you will need a packed lunch.
AFM-had another acupuncture session today i am feeling good so i might go make somthing yummy for dinner enjoy the weekend ladie's.
AF is here the nurse has told me tomorrow will be day one as AF started this arvo and i have to have blood test early monday morning and they will ring me that day with the dose i have to inject so monday night will be my first needle :crossfingers:the only bummer is i have to drive 40 minute's for blood test the pathology near me does'nt do same day result's so i have to go to gosford but that's ok.
I am so excited and terrified at the same time wish me luck:goodluck::pray: and i will keep you posted.
Best of luck for your Ferrals. Everything is crossed for you!!!!!
Ferrals GL with your bloods today, hope all your levels are puuuurfect!!!!!!!

Bad new's i got a phone call from the pgd nurse i can't start this month my estrogen level's are to high they are supose to be between 100-150 mine are over 300 which they said is no good i have to have a repeat blood test tomorrow and if it's dropped a bit they will put me one the pill and i can start in nov if it's higher again i have to wait for my next AF then go on the pill in nov and wait until dec to start i am devastated balling my eye's out.
Ferrals i am so sorry :(
Cannot express how bad i feel for you. I just don't know what to say except i believe everything in life happens for a reason and this was not the right time for you. Im sure next time will be better. (and we can be cycle buddies :)
Did they give you any reason what could cause high levels?
Sending you the biggest of (((((((hugs))))))

Jaki-The nurse said my cycle is out of wack but i said how could that be because my cycle's are exactly 28-29 day's every month and she said it could be i have a lead follicle that has started to develope to early and if that's the case i ovulate early so all the other follicle's would not have time to grow to catch up to the lead one and as we new as many as possible we would not have a good out come so i need to get this estrogen level down or we have no choice but to just try natrually i never thought being to fertile to early would be a problem.
Is there anything you can do to get the levels down? Or is it just nature?
It's hormonal so it can change month to month but i have read diet and stress can contribute so who know's i do know chinese herbal medicine can help hormone's so i will wait to see what my level's are today and decide what to do next right now i am trying to get rid of my puffy eye's from crying all night eeeekkk! not a good look.
Awww poor thing, i feel so terrible.
I need to look more into ivf & diet, i'm a shocker!
I would have thought that your acupuncture would have helped with hormones.
AFM- my hubby and i have decided i will go home to Coffs for my cycle, then meet him in Syd for the big stuff, that way i don't have the 4hr rounds trips for ultrasounds etc. So im off on the 26th, settle in and await my period which SHOULD come on the 30th.
Motherhood, how are you doing??????
xx
I rang the acupuncturist she is going to look into it i am a little concerned because it was only a week ago that i mentioned to her that i did not feel myself ovulate as i alway's do and she said the acupuncture promote's ovulation and helps hormone level's so WTF is going on i have never not felt ovulation pain and then all of a sudden nothing is it a coincidence or what anyway good luck with your cycle hope it is the one you get your BFP
i am waiting for today's bt result's to see what they are going to do well one thing's for sure we wont get two cycle's in before the new year now i hope we get at least one go.
Ferrals - I honestly dont know what to say other than off you a massively huge ((((((((Hug))))))))).
Jaki - Hope all is well with you at the moment!
AFM - Well started my Lucrin injections last Thursday (Yay finally some progress) and took my last OCP on Sat night so now Im kind of sitting tight, waiting for AF to rear her ugly head LOL. Be sure ladies to send AF vibes my way. Thursday morn, bright and early will be my first BT and I'm expecting that I'll also pick up my FSH meds etc and then about Thurs lunch I should get my call from the PGD nurses at SIVF with the results and what to do next which im expecting/hoping will be to start my FSH on Sat 17/10/09.
In the mean time, have been trying to work out whether or not we will be able to fit in another cycle before the new Medicare disaster hits but Im thinking that time will beat us on that one :(. I will ask the nurse on Thursday when they call what they think and see what happens.
Also, DH and I are looking at going on holidays OS. Maybe Fiji or Vanuatu for a break. We have just closed up our small business and it has been a few years since we have been able to have a holiday. So, that means im kind of concerned about the timing of that too in that I dont want to be stuck in a foreign country should I fall ill etc (If you know what I mean). My nurse has told me that I can expect EPU all going well to be around the last week of Oct and then ET the wk beginning 02.11.09 and then, fingers crossed, BT for you know what would be between 12.11.09 and 17.11.09. Hmmmm what to do. Any advice ladies. Were looking at going for a week just to completely relax and so was thinking of booking for the middle of the 2ww. Maybe after hey, what you think.
Well enough from me. Be sure to send AF vibes my way wont you. Again Ferrals ((((((((Hugs)))))))) from me to you. Keep your head up!
Motherhood i think a holiday in the TTW is a great idea but im not sure i'd leave the country, what with all the belly problems in those countries.
I live 3 hrs from the Whitsundays and recently got married there and i can tell you its amazing up here, and the water and food is clean.
I also use SIVF so we prob have the same nurses and maybe even the same Doctor, im not sure if we can name names on this site tho so i'll leave it at that.
Ferrals i hope your levels are better today and will give you some hope. Does your acupuncturist specialize in IVF and fertility acupuncture?
Jaki - Im sure Ive seen others name their Dr's etc on here so I think its fine to mention them!!! :) I also know what you mean about leaving the country. Just a matter of convincing DH to go local so to speak LOL.
Jaki-yes she doe's but she is only young so has not been doing it for many year's she has all the degree's ect.
Motherhood-i am also with sydney ivf my dr is the lady one with American accent.
AFM-i'm still devastated i have read a heap on high estrogen and it is not good for ivf seem's i should still be able to get preg natrually (well i was 6mth's ago )but high estrogen is also a sign that there might be a problem with FSH and ovarian reserve but as i have been pregnant 6 time's and the last time wasn't to long ago i will not go there until they tell me otherwise but i don't think i need that problem on top of a genetic problem and our age the older you get the quicker your fertility decline's it is looking grimmer by the hour i'm waiting by the phone PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEW'S .
just got result's estrogen is still high progesterone is low but my FSH is normal at 8 so at least that is good the FS is going to ring me after 4 to talk about what could be the problem but i'm out this month so i'm off to have a cry and i was told it won't effect our natrual fertility just no good for ivf i will let you know what the FS say's.
Well the FS rang and said my fertility is good i have a good egg reserve i just ovulate early which is fine in normal TTC but with pgd ivf we need lot's of egg's so that lead follicle that start's to grow to early will stop the other follicle's from catching up in size so she did not start me on the pill we will wait until next AF and check my level's again if they are still high she said it is most likely just the way my hormone's are and we can start next month and see how thing's progress or go on the pill for 3 week's and then start but she does'nt really want me to go on the pill as ivf cycle's straight off the pill are not as good so it's a waiting game again but it look's like they will just go ahead and start next cycle (finger's crossed) if it turn's out no good we are still nice and fertile to try naturally if we have to.
Thank's for listening to me go on and on you are a huge shoulder to cry on thank's
