Thanks for letting us know your good news. I understand that it's am time full of worries, great that you could already see the heartbeat. Thinking of you.
CP - OH NO! I am so so sorry. 2008 has definitely sucked. Its been my worst year ever. Bring on 2009 and hope for all of us. Hopefully we will all be having Oct/Nov babies.
Oh cuddlepie I am so sorry I do hope and that 2009 is everyones year. I hope that AF isn't being to harsh and that she leaves the building before christmas day. On one note at least you can eat whatever you want now. I cant believe I cant eat prawns and ham I love prawns
So when is the next transfer booked in for? As you have a blasty dont you? Does that still mean you have to do the injections?
Thanks for your support everyone. I went to have my scheduled b/t this morning just want to make sure that HCG (if there is any) is back to normal so we can start again.... and no surprise the result came back negative and all numbers are pretty much back to baseline and they said you should either already had or start soon with AF...
Well, that's it for 2008 for me. I felt a bit sad on the way to the clinic this morning, last b/t for the year but no good news to celeberate.
I can only look forward to the future. We have 1 blastcyst frozen and planned to put it back in Feb. So in between clinic suggest to wait for a cycle but we will try it naturally although its a long shot but who knows.
I truely hope 2009 will bring this thread many many celeberations and joy because seems we all had a hard year!
Its very quiet in here lately. Hoping everyone is doing ok with the end of this very sad year.
Just wanted to wish you all a merry xmas and hoping 2009 brings us all the miracles we are praying for
Hope you had a nice Christmas morning with lots of nice pressies.
Santa brought AF to me. While I am still a bit hesitant about already starting the new cycle I've decided to take it as a good sign and go for BT tomorrow. If the result is good may start but if it's borderline will give it another month.
Just wondering if any of you would have some advice for me. My first (downregulated) IVF cycle was cancelled since I had only 2 follicles and was understimulated - Estrogen never went above 51.
I now had my first period after the cycle and went for my BT (CD2) - FSH came back as 9.7 and Estrogen at 44. Earlier in the year when I did BT and Ultrasound for a baseline (non IVF) I had FSH of 7 and Estrogen of 260 on CD2, the ultrasound a few days later showed between 4 and 8 follicles.
I am now wondering if I should start an antagonist cycle with injections tomorrow or wait another cycle to see if the FSH level is any better then, my FS says I should start, the nurse said they're looking for FSH 10 and lower - which basically means that mine with 9.7 is borderline.
On the one hand I don't want to go through a cancelled cycle again on the other hand I can't afford to waste time as I'll be 40 by mid next year.
From my understanding, FSH levels will be different everytime (slightly higher or even lower) so the change in your levels is not too dramatic
From what I have learned about estrogen levels (explained to me by my clinic), Day 2 E2 levels are BASELINE. They actually tend to be lowest on day 2(or at least on the first FULL day of bleeding). And follicle numbers are certainly nothing to measure at that stage (remember more pop up during your cycle). In my first (sadly cancelled cycle) my estrogen was 126 after 4 nights of FSH - yet I had 11 follies. So do not look at the E2 level before even starting FSH. I do not think it is indicating your follie number that early on.
But back on to FSH, the advantage of doing the Orgalutron shorter cycle is that you are not repressing your own hormones until Day 6/7. So your natural FSH works along with the stims to really kick your estrogen levels along
I have heard most FS like FSH to be under 12... I have read on BB of some women doing IVF with higher..
If that wretched ticking clock is bugging you, and you can afford it, there is not time like the present. Again, just my POV. Like you, I don't want to waste time.
Anyway, this is all just my opinion. I just wish I had started all this 12 months ago.
