Long Term Assisted Conception - 2009 #3

Hey M2C- I don't think that your post was at all selfish. You are understandably very upset and are more than entitled to a YOU post. I'm so sorry this has happened to you and I'm bummed that we aren't cycle buds anymore, I had hoped we would go all the way together.
I don't really know much at all about OHSS hun, but I'm hoping that the info. they have gathered from this cycle will enable your FS to rectify things so that you can achieve a happy medium between 2 and OHSS in your next cycle and go all the way to EPU and a BFP. I'll be here for you if you need anything at all, take it easy and look after yourself in this time, I'm thinking of you.

to all the lovely gals, have a great day ladies.

Gah at being cancelled! That is so horrible hon, to have the pain of ohss and nothing to show for it! Hope you are feeling a bit better physically, and that the doctors can work out a way to get you to egg collection next time.

M2C, I am so sorry hun, as mentioned in other thread, hope you soon will get over this physical pain and move forward with some positive changes.

Loula, thanks for the inspiring story, any sucess stories are giving me hope especially related to my little issues here...but I think I've given up on natural conception, just two people having sex and you will have a baby? NO WAY!

Julie and Beata, hope there is some good news waiting in the wing.

Dutchie, praying that you will see more than 5 eggs at the EPU, almost there hun!

to everyone else

Hi everyone, I thought I would post our results as one day a 41 year old lady may google, and I want to let her know with the right clinic you can get to Blast.

Bitter/Sweet appointment for me at FS, one of our Blasts was an excellent Expanding Blast rated A and the other was Rated C, both we know didnt stick, out frozen is a C. We talked about early af arrival after each stim cycle, and his best suggestion is that my body may be tired after stims, so we are better with FET's. I am very pleased to get to a great blast, Im sad it didn't stick. We are going to do ICSI for the next cycle, even though DH has good swimmers, just to increase our odds.

We considered doing a FET this month, however with all the financial changes, I decided I would like to continue on with a Full Boost Cycle, and keep our frozen B, our other frostie is day 2 at another clinic. Hoping to get some frozen embryo's to keep our chances alive whilst we can afford it this year.

Hi to everyone and I am off to read how you are all doing

Hi everyone,
It seems very quiet in here atm. I'm just plodding along anticipating my scan tomorrow and hoping that the rest of my follies have grown. Must be getting mighty close now I've been injecting for nearly 2 weeks. I wonder how much longer I can stim for before my egg quality starts to decline.

Hello to eveyone, hope things are well.

hey Ladies,

wondering if I can join?

We've been TTC for 6 years, have had 4 natural pregnancies; lost our little girl due to medical negligence, have a little boy and have had 2 miscarriages. The first 5 years we were TTC using the Natural Fertility Centre's program and started medical investigations last year when I started getting results indicating diminished ovarian reserve. I have endometriosis, high FSH and a family history of early menopause.

Started seeing Dr McDonald at SIVF 3 months ago, had all our tests and were due to start a cycle 2 months ago but it got cancelled when our FS left SIVF. Following a very public meltdown

SIVF moved me across to Dr Leiberman and we started our first cycle last week.

Had my day 11 scan today and there are 8 all up, one huge one (21), 4 ranging between 11 & 18 and two little ones under 10. I think the large one will be sacrificed so that the other ones can have a chance to mature. Am a little disappointed with the numbers, I thought I'd have more given the high dose of puregon (300mg). But I know its all about quality to hoping that there's one good one in there. So looking at triggering tomorrow night and EPU on Monday.

Dutchie, firstly thanks for pointing me in the right direction and hoping that your scan went well today. Hopefully we'll be cycling together for the next few weeks

Wishing everyone

Hey guys
Sorry I've been so late posting but it's been a full on day. Scan today showed one at 16mm one at 13mm a 9mm and a few others at <10mm. At first the nurses called and said to have another scan on monday and we would make a decision then whether to trigger mon night or possibly keep going and maybe even sacrifice the 16mm in the hopes of the others catching up. They then called with a change of plans deciding that I am ready and we will most likely be triggering monday night with EPU on wednesday morn. I have another scan monday morn just to check progress of the 2 biggest follicles. They said that the others will probably not grow so at best its looking like 2 eggs (

). The largest 25mm follicle is now a whopping 36mm (it hasn't gone away) and the FS believes it is a cyst so it probably wont have an egg and even if it did it would be well and truly overcooked. My lining is perfect at 8.3mm with a triple stripe (not sure exactly what that is but I think it's good) So for now I just wait and see what the scan shows on monday. I'm a little bummed I had really hoped for more but I guess 2 is better than 1 which is better than none. I'll know more on monday. I just

that the 13mm is atleast 18mm on monday we shall see then.

anyos- i'm glad you made your way over here there's so much support in here. Wishing you the best this cycle. I'll have my fingers crossed that your smaller ones catch up too. I have just been doing that myself and nearly at the end thank the Lord. I'll be cheering you on. Can I ask what type of cycle you are doing?

M2C- Thanks darl for your constant support, it's really heart warming esp as you have had such a hard time with your cycle. I hope you aren't still too sore from the OHSS.

buliej- I hope you are going well in your TWW. Wishing you the stickiest sticky vibes and BOL for your BT.

Hello to everyone hope things are well.
