Hi Dutchie, I had first scan and BT today - Stim Day 6 (I can o early so they get me in earlier). BT all good and scan showed 4 follies (2 on each ovary) at 10-12mm. I start Orgalutran tomorrow and back for BT & Scan on Monday. 4 is a cancelled cycle for some, but 4 is good for me.
Buliej - My FS today changed his mind about me taking DHEA all the way through cycle and wants me to stop DHEA when I go for pick up. I told him that from what I'd read it's better to keep taking through cycle. He was adamant that he felt I should stop at pick up to prevent the "potential androgenising of a female fetus" - he said DHEA is a male hormone and too much of it in the early stages of female fetus developed can be detrimental. I hadn't heard that before, but have decided to go with his advice until I have other conclusive research. I'd read of someone else who has been on it not stop for 4.5mths while cycling and only just stopped at 7 weeks after BFP. I suppose it's all new and experimental still.
Tigga - your FS is right. What I was trying to say is that my FS had me stop on Cycle Day 1 (first day of AF) and I think that I should have taken it until day of pick-up. I've done a lot of reading on DHEA and have read findings consistent with your FS' opinion.
I'm a bit concerned because AF is 4 days late for me - and I have POAS and am so not pregnant. It's just not making sense.
Tigga-good to hear your cycle is going great i am following your progress to see how it turns out i have my fingers crossed for you.
Buliej-The best thing to bring on AF is plan a raunchy night with hubby AF always shows up when we have the night off together and no kids.
AFM-I did my OPK early today and it was still neg so i went to see my acupuncturist(spelling) and went over possible reasons for my high estrogen and not feeling myself ovulate last month which has never happened before anyway she did some extra things to me to help destress and gave me extra needles to bring on ovulation by the time i got home this arvo after picking up the kids i have have slight period type cramps so i went and done 2 more OPKs and got a real strong positive line on both so thank god my body is working right on que so much for the FS saying i will ov early i am on day 13 so i should ov tomorrow what a shame we have to avoid getting pregnant until this next BT but i am happy that i am back on vitex and my body seems to be doing what it is supose to do God i hope i get to start next month i am prepared to get the bad news as this whole thing has been bad news from the begining i told DH if we cant start next month that is it for me i wont go the ivf way we will do it the natural way i just cant handle that we cant do anything because of my hormones when all this time wasted (6months) we could have been pregnant by now if i had any idea that this could happen or cycles could be cancelled i would have still tried naturally as i am 36 in 5 months the clock is ticking so FRUSTRATING!!!!!.
AF arrived - all it took was the usual email to my nurse fretting about "where is she" and a booking of a bikini wax...making myself look like a neurotic former NY-er plus having to reschedule a hard-to-get wax appoint never fails to bring it on...
Ferrals - glad AP helped get things back on schedule. I hope that you can start jabbing next month. I know all about the ticking clock - mine is so loud it wakes me up at 3am almost every night...
Just a question last AF when i was waiting for my BT result on day one i opened my puregon cartridge and put it in the pen and put the needle on to get it ready seeing as i didnt end up useing it i have read once it is opened you have to discard it after 28 days i took the needle off straight away will it be still good to use or should i just use a new one when the time comes
