Ann - YAYE for AF! The countdown begins....
Shazz - YAYE on some nice sounding follies sweetheart! WOOHOO! Lets hope more good news is to follow...
Odette - YAYE on starting injections! I actually find the pen a little more stingy than the syringe, although I havent had the pen with Gonal only with Puregon.
Lots of YAYES in here today - thats Great and about time.... think we need some more big YAYES!
Afternoon Ladies,
I did my pee test being day 12 this morning and guess who got a slight ovulation line !!! Which means for the first time in along time my body is doing what it's suppose to be and may O on day 14. For someone that has PCOS and knows she hardly O's this is a happy dance moment for me and even better knowing that transfer may possibly be this week!! Would be better if the old tubes weren't crushed or we could really make use of it lol.
Odette I am lucky since starting IVF nearly 3 yrs ago I have only experienced the pen but I love them........Good luck sweety on this cycle.
Ann so glad AF has finally arrived!
Hi the everyone else.
Hugs
Shazz.

I now have a bruise the size of a 20 cent piece where I injected last night so tonight I did it on the other side so I would match!!
I have had slight bleeding since after my scan on Friday. Has anyone ever had this before. Never had bleeding before except during AF.
Don't know if this is normal or not.
Go shazz - its time to O!!
Ann - countdown has begun - 18 days!!
Keen I want to hear some Yays for you too. Bring it on!! Xmas for starting isn't that far away. Only six weeks!! You are still in the game!!!
Good luck everyone else!
Take care
odette
Shazld,
Yah on the O line, I have never gotten a full blown 2nd line, doesn't matter what time of the cycle I always get a faint second line. Yoohoo Go Girl!
Odette, I hope you get through this cycle OK, I know it is hard.
Keen, I'm thinking of you sweetheart.
Me, nothing much to report atm, taking the Estrodal Tabs (today, I have been having a major brain malfunction) I haven't had these tabs before, so I would say it is having an effect on the old grey matter.
Luv to all
Ann :pray:
WE NEED SOME BFP's IN HERE SOON RATHER THAN LATER!
Hi girls,
Just popping my head in to ask you all a question. If you have day 3's embies frozen do they go to blast for a FET or is it more likely to be a 6-8 cell
Bec
Bec,
you can request for them to thaw your embies and try for blasts, but you have to be aware that your embies will then have the hurdle of thawing as well as making it to day 5. If you have a few embies frozen, I'd say go for it! Though if it doesn't look like they're likely to go to blasts after the thaw, your clinic should give you the choice of tranferring at day 3 at the time.
Hello everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend.
Lou- How are you going now? I am sorry to hear of you cancelled cycle.Just not fair.... You did well going to the BD party.
Keen- I totally hear you. I have had a shocker this year too. I know it could be worse, but it still has not helped me with all the coping I am expected to do. ATM all I want is for this year to be over.
Odette- exciting news! I took Gonal F too. 350. It gave me headaches at first but I got use to that.
Shazld- exciting news too! sending you much babydust.
Bec- Sorry I have no idea. I have only had 1 FET. And they were frozen on day 5. But I hope you get your answers soon.
Hi Ladies,
Hope you dont mind me jumping in to this thread, I am a newbie. Just wondering what it means when you have an EPU and they find a number of empty follicles. I still got 14 eggs (last Friday) and 10 fertlised which is nice. However in the excitement I forgot to ask why there were empty follicles - 6 i think?? Has anyone had this happen??
I am not an expert at all but I think it might be that when you get triggered not all the follies develop into full blown eggs. I remember my FS telling me that in a normal ovulation a few follicles develop and only one (or two if twins etc) is the 'leader' and that is the one that will ovulate. However with the drugs more follicles become 'leaders' so you get more actual eggs which are necessary for IVF.:
Thanks Sushee
I only have 2 FE left..I think I wont risk them going to blast! I'll be back to exchange injection whoas and endo linings very shortly :)
Good luck girls :hug:
Bec
DB, my understanding is it is pretty normal to have some follies that dont develop into eggs. I always have well over 40 follies and the most eggs we've ever had was 28.
Bec, Im not really sure as like Daisy Ive only had frozen blasts. Good Luck! Will be crossing fingers for your success...
I had about 11 follies but we only got 3 eggs, two actually as one was immature. I don't know the reason why either and never did ask, but like Poppy states, this is probably the real reason. I actually put mine down to the severe endo i had, which was undiagnosed before ivf... who knows, the human body is a very weird thing, sometimes wonderful sometimes not! Leis x
Was wondering if any of you knowledgable ladies could offer some help?
I started taking Ethinylo Estradiol on Sat, starting at 30 mcg. My ovaries feel as if they are going to explode, very painfull. Even when doing my last full stim cycle I had 54 follies, and it didn't feel this bad. I haven't had these meds before, and by my information they are supposed to stop the ovaries from producing eggs, so why the pain?
Can any one help?
FET scheduled for 30th Nov
Ann
Ann hun, sorry i can't help you out with your drug question however if you go on the mydr website, google it, you can type in the name of the drug and it will give you heaps of info on it. Happy birthday also, and good luck with the FET..... love and hugs leis x
I have been on Estrodial and dont remember having that much pain - a little uncomfortable but completely different to a full stim - and like you I have had over 50 follies before and that was a LOT more painful.... I dont want to concern you, of course, but I would consider just giving the clinic a quick call when you can, to see what they say... Although I am sure it will all be just fine.... let us know how you go.
Oh and BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ANN!
Anne- how are you doing? I always get really bad ovary pain. In either one or the other. Mostly right hurts more than the left one. The nurses have always said it is nothing to worry about, but then tell me no lifting. Even though I take it as the norm for me, I always tell the clinic just in case.
Also happy belated birthday!
Dreambub- welcome! Please feel free to jump in anytime!
My FS told us that there would always be follies with no eggs. Not all follies are able to create an egg. I also get imature eggs too. They just have not had enough time to mature. But it is the first ones the Dr are aiming for anyway. 14 epu and 10 fertilized is a great number.
Wishing you much babydust and sticky vibes and hoping you stay in this thread is a very short one!
Hows things going for you Miss Daisy?
Ann - hope you are feeling better sweetie...
Still here
Had follie scan today. Only two on each side - but a low number is normal for me. The most I have ever got is 7 follies. So pickup will either be Wednesday or Thursday. Will find out Monday arvo.
Still jabbing on 450mg of Gonal F until - hopefully only 4 more needles and trigger to go!!
Good luck everyone !
Odette
Hello Lovelies!
Pain has eased up a lot, went up to 50mcg last night. I think it might have been a bit of a jolt to the ols system, and thus the pain. All ok now.
Tomorrow off for a blood test and a lovely ultrasound (or as Leis calls it Dildo cam).
Oh yes, looking forward to that!
Nothing else to report, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
Ann
PS I want a BFP for xmas. (please)
Hi Ann just posted in your other thread! sorry to ask but im on the same cycle as you and would be interested in how yours is done. this is my 6th cycle and every time they have been different. im on a HRT cycle as my body is always out of wack!!
Hi,
I've been away for a few weeks and apologise in advance for joining into your thread. I wasn't sure if this is the right thing to do or not.
I've had empty follies before, and immature eggs. The last emby didn't make it so back to square one. My DH and I will start another stimulated cycle after Christmas as I want a break. You all know how stressful it is!
My doctor said that apparently the embryoloist report said that my eggs were immature which he said could be a result of the medication and next time he'll put me on a lower dose. I'm going to see him tomorrow and I'll remind him of that for next time.
I also started seeing a chiropractor last week, he has helped many couples conceive, I'm not sure how and don't understand why muscle testing etc. would work, but I'm now at the stage where I'll try anything.
Has anyone tried herbs from a naturopath? I thought that whilst on the IVF cycle you can't take herbs, but as I said before, I'll try anything and I need all the help I can get!
I hope everyone is OK and the journey is getting a little easier.
RA
Hi ALex,
I've tried herbs before, in fact it was last cycle and I think it probably helped me produce so many eggs (We got 20), and we also got a BFP which I sadly lost a 10 wks. Didnt go with teh herbs this time (just limited time to go to so many different appointments really) and this time we got less eggs- 14. Could be a coincicdence, but if I had more time I would probably combine accupuncture, herbs and IVF.
If you decide to take the herbal path make sure that you let your FS know exactly what they are and what dose you are taking as I had to back off on a couple just before the EPU...........
Either way I wish u well......
I myself have just been through my 7th FullStim cycle and had 2 blasts tf'f last Wednesday - so just 5 days or so in to the TWW and feeling rather impatient.......
Getting ready for blast off. Had ultrasound this a.m, and everything looks good. Endrometrium (sp) is a 3, so only 10 days until the transfer of 2 little snow bubbies.
Still feels a little weird that this is our last cycle. :crying:
But I have to find a positive in there somewhere!
Ann
Good luck ann - im praying that this is the one! What does Ant think??
Just a quick Hi how ya going to everyone... super busy here at home, we have a new doggie... (suckers that we are) i was only suppose to be fostering her and she just got on so well with Carlos the wonder dog, we decided to keep her... a little staffi she is and totally devine!
Well just a super dooper dose of baby dust and sticky vibes to everyone from me... I hope those that are currently undergoing IVF or AC get a BFP this cycle and those that arn't on the AC wagon, may you strike it lucky with a natural miracle... (keen that is aimed at you hun!!!)
Love and massive cyber hugs
Leis xx
LisaL,
Ant is going to be up at the Gold Coast later this week. Spoke to her yesterday and she wants to see us on Sat, she said it will be good to have a session just before transfer. So we will pop up there to see her.
Leis congratulations on the new dog.
I hope you are all enjoying the week thus far?
Luv to all
Ann
Ann - best of luck sweety I really hope this is it for you and I hope ant cant work some magic for you on the weekend - Im seeing her tomorrow.

odette
Good luck Odette.. I am sending you heaps and heaps of sticky vibes... love leis xx
hi everyone, im new to this and i dont know what to expect, we had a tranfer on the 13th nov and i have preg test on the 27th nov, i aslo had a test on the 20th for estrogen and progesterone, which didnt come back the well est was 250 and prog was 19, i dont know what i should be feel at the moment, i get craps like its my period, but i told the the progesteron gell can do that, i thought that i would have my period by now if it wasnt going to work, iam due tomorrow, this is so hard, waiting is a killer, has anyone else had the prog that low and made it through, iam so negative, i never thought that i would eva get this far, i hope that you dont mind that i have jumped in like this, good luck to all the girls that are going through all this, i hope that you all get a fantastic chrissy present
thanks again sam
Trying hard - I am just a couple of weeks old on this thread too and find great peace in checking everyday to see where others are up to and what they are experiencing.
Maybe if your progesterone is considered a little low your FS could recommend some Progesterone pessaries, I am on 3 a day. I had my transfer on the 10th (they were blasts), I usually have 2 pessaries a day but this time he upped it to 3. I am not sure if the gel offers the equivalent strength but its worth asking the question if you are worried.
Odette - Good luck with your TF 2moro. :pray: for you.
I am doing a HPT on Sunday although not hopeful. Doc wants to do the BT on Wednesday which is 14 days Post transfer. Here's hoping for a BFP.
Good luck girls.
Fingers crossed Shaz! Hope you get to graduate...
Odette - Good Luck! Sending you tonnes of stickvibes!
Had tranfer today. All went well
Out of the 4 follies they collected - they all fertilized!!! YEAH
So I had one put back and 3 frozen
3 of them were excellent quality - four cells and one was good -still dividing
Blood test on the 8th of Dec and start Crinoine tonight
Keeping positive still!!
Good luck with POAS dream bub!
Let the sticky vibes flow to all!!!
take care
Odette
Thanks Girls.
Did my HPT today and got a BFN :crying:
Still going in on Wednesday for the BT - its a formality of course.:(
Everyone I know is pregnant! Even my Best Friend conceived on her wedding night on the 20th October. How lucky can she be. :) for her of course, just sad I am not joining her......yet.
