Unfortunately not good news, this cycle is over for us. Estrogen levels were at 10,500 today so they cancelled the cycle. I know its for the best as I dont want OHSS but I am so tired of things going wrong. Four years of trying to conceive this week, and 11 IVF cycles.
Oh Bec, I'm so sorry to hear this. Four years and 11 cycles hurts. I understand. take care of yourself and I'll be hoping things go right for you when you are ready to go again. xx
Bec, im so sorry. i dont know what i can say. I know you have had this battle before keeping your levels lower so you dont OHSS, I feel frustrated that i can not guide you. have you tried ap or NP?
when are you seeing you FS. have you been with the same one this whole time?
I know it feels like this will never happen at times, but i hope it will soon, we did 15 cycles in 7 years hun.
Bec, Im so sorry to hear the news. I know how hard to keep positive cycle after cycle's set-back. I don't have any wise words, just want to come in to offer some support and if you ever need to talk, Im here.
Thanks Loula, seeing you here and hearing it can happen gave me so much hope, wishing your all the best hun!
hi guys, sorry i have been MIA for a while, still waiting. it seems to be taking forever. it's almost half way thru year. but we're getting close now. pray it won't be long for me to start the whole thing again.
Hi all,
Hoping I can join you. My partner and I have done 2 fresh and 5 frozen cycles of IVF (nearly all with Day 2 embryos) and are moving onto PGD with the plan to only transfer any chromosomally-normal embryos in order to save some time. It's been a long 12 months and I can't believe it's still going but I remain really hopeful. Would love to get support from you all, as you clearly know what it's like and how hard it can be.
Im sorry you find yourself here, the ladies and men are a great sorce of info. i just wanted to say never give up. we have been through 15 cycles in 7 years, and eventhough i didnt think i could go on and never thought i would after 10 (thats the number we said we would stop at) it can happen.
Can i ask if you have changed anything for each of your cycles? have you done blasties? we were suggested by our FS to go onto PGD but then changed FS and was tested for ureaplasma as she believes this is the main cause for recurrent loss, we tested + and were treated and the first cycle from that fell pg. Not many FS believe it is a factor with 80% of the population testing + for the bacteria.
Hi I would like to jump in too please.. AF arrived after thaw cycle on Tuesday..started meds tonight for another Antagonist cycle.. This is meant to be our last round..First things first..scan next Tuesday..here we go AGAIN.. Ok positive vibes everywhere for all of us..xx
Thanks everyone.
Had a bad start to the cycle, with nothing happening with 400 units Puregon but finally things started to happen when it got put up the maximum dose, 600 units. Had EPU yesterday, got 10 eggs and just waiting for news tomorrow about embryos and whether or not there'll be enough to make PGD worthwhile. It's a long road but I'm feeling extremely optimistic at present which is a nice change! I'm doing PGD in place of blastocysts given the 2 biochemical pregnancies... will give us more answers hopefully. We'll see!
Hi Foxy77..10 eggs is great..well done..Do you usually get that many?..fingers crossed for you you get many embies.. I am triggering tonight (Thurs) and EPU Sat. I had a scan Mon and they could see 5 follies.. better than nothing I know but would have liked more of course..being greedy..can't help it. I was on 450 units Puregon.. next step how many eggs at PU..?? GOOD LUCK and thanks for asking..
We got 4 embryos but unfortunately all chromosomally abnormal. At least we didn't have a pointless 2ww or another biochemical pregnancy, but still very disappointed. Seeing FS next week to discuss the possibility of another cycle with PGD - it's expensive but feels worthwhile to me to save emotional heartache.
Hi Foxy77 So sorry to hear your embies were chromosomally not right for transfer. So frustrating to say the least!
I only had 4 eggs retrieved on Saturday so very nervous about fertilisation and if I get any embies at all to transfer Thursday. We are doing our first 5 day transfer with pregnyl. So next step..have I got an embie to transfer??
Thanks for asking again. It just feels better to write what's going on and throwing it out there. Take care and may your next round give you some perfect little embies. Hope your appointment with FS goes well for your next plan.
