Juniper76 - Broome is supposed to be amazing but quite expensive. I know what you mean re money after IVF! We are lucky that we have family that live in Broome who we can stay with although we'll still stay somewhere on our own for 2 nights just for some privacy.
KitKat - I was so sick after ET. Really sore and nauseas (I even had diahreah - no idea how to spell it!!). It was so bad I rang FS to tell them and they said the cramping COULD be the embryo implanting but they couldn't promise that. THey also said it could just be a combination of the drugs, swollen ovaries and acupuncture. Your body is put through alot in the lead up to ET so it's understandable that some of us just don't feel well. I've just woken up with a breakout under my chin which is a weird spot! Anyhow, three days after ET, I really started to feel better and back to normal (apart from feeling a bit tired) so hang in there.

KitKat - All the hormones can and will have crazy side effects. It could be from a week or so ago that your skin breaks our - certainly given what we put our bodies through it's not surprising!
Murraycod - Ouch! I hope AF is nicer to you today, and that all this is clearing out to make sure there is a nice lining for your soon to be BFP!
K78 - Thinking of you and hope your results are great today :)
Juniper - I've never been but have lots of friends who have gone to Broome and loved it.
Hi to everyone else, hope you had a great weekend.
AFM - My Oestrogen levels of day 11 were 350 - does anyone know if this is OK? I normally get in the 3000- 4000 with Clomid and get 2-3 follicles so I have no idea what levels are needed for a normal ovulation. I need to ovulate as part of the FET and normally take Clomid but have to stop as I have taken it already 3 times this year for my other FET's. Any help would be great. Last time I had to cancel I think I only got to 400 on my own so am a little bit worried.

Hi Ladies,
I'm just keeping my eye in this site as I wait for my first FET next week. I've noticed that some of you are on Clomid prior to FET so that you ovulate. My FS has put me on an artificial cycle with oestrogen tablets. I have PC ovaries so understand why it's being done artificially but I wonder if we couldn't have used clomid too (as I've responded well to it in the past before IVF was begun). Wouldn't it be better to ovulate than not?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Congrats on all the BFP's!
Maggie

Hi girls. Unfortunately it was a BFN for me this time... Will write again later xx
-
K78 - Oh hon... I am devastated for you. Hope you are doing OK. Sending you lots of hugs. I really wanted this for you.
Keep strong hon... you have three good embies on ice... PM me if you want to chat. x
-
K78 - I'm so sorry, I hope you are OK and am thinking of you. As Chekigal said, you have some embies for the future, but I know this may not make you feel better today as it's so dissapointing when you get a BFN.
-
K78- I am so sorry to hear that. I had a BFN two weeks ago and know how it can dash your hopes. Hold in there. We're on another cycle now and hoping that this time we'll have more success. I hope that you too will try again and have what you hope for.

K78, :comfort:
Lairdoz, sorry to hear your E2 levels are still low. FX you get some action soon so you don't get cancelled.
Maggie, the HRT FET protocol you are doing is very common. I don't know if there's any benefit to O'ing. I would expect there isn't, otherwise why would they do so many HRT cycles? The hormones you take prepare your uterus for the embryo, so what benefit would O'ing have (other than trying to catch that egg in addition to doing the FET)?
-
K78 :hug::comfort: Darling i'm so sorry X I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better, just take it easy on yourself XXXX
-
KitKat - did you call the clinic as yet re: final BT? Mine is two weeks after transfer too...
-
K78 - I'm sorry that this isn't your month. Words cannot express..... :hug:
Maggie - I have only done one FET on which I took Estrofem which they upped 1/2 way through. I don't ovulate very often and the issue of ovulation was never brought up so I'm not sure either of the significance of ovulating on a FET cycle.
Lairdoz - :crossfingers: that your levels rise
Hi to all you other lovely ladies. Hope you are surviving this crazy roller coaster. It is so hard to keep up in here with all the action happening!
AFM: On to my last Zoly implant this week. This will last 28 days and then we can start my next IVF. The time is draaaaaaaagging. Most side effects have evened out (hot flashes, moodiness, tiredness etc) so I hope that this weeks shot doesn't fire them up again.
We will be looking at an antagonist cycle this time as I am already down regulated from the Zoladex. My last IVF was longer so it will be interesting to see what changes occured this time round. Has anyone else done both?
-
Very sorry to hear that it didn't work for you this cycle, K78. :hug: Take care of yourself.
-
I don't look here for a week, and so much is going on:
Kitkat - The hormones will make yout skin quite oily, so we are more prone to break outs when on the drugs!
Lairdoz - I'm not sure on the Oestregen levels. I think mine was quite hight when I was doing the first IVF round, but my lining was still thin.
Maggie - Good Luck fro FET - I'm also hoping for next week;) I think the point of Chlomid is to help the eggs grow, which we don't want if doing FET. Chlomid helps more grow, and you don't want to waste the eggs for a cycle you won't even use them in.
K78 - Sorry for BFN. Hang in there!
Hi to everyone else I missed
AFM I went for a second scan on Frida, and my lining is still too thin. It's about 6.3. FS wants it to be at least 7. Had BT done on Friday as well, and am waiting for the results from that. I think that is the Estradiol (that's what it's called here) It seems like instead of doing BT's they do scans to measre the lining, and when it starts getting thickier they do a BT. So I am on Day 22, 10ml Lucrin jabs, 4 x progynova tabs a day, and feeling very bloated, and skin started to look bad. Just when it was clearing up. So I don't know if it is my new cleanser or the drugs that were making it nice:) Next scan on Wednesday. So here's hoping we get the go ahead for the transfer.
-
sorry to hear k78 was looking so good for you stay strong.
Had my bt today and am anxiously waiting for tommorrow to come to find out the results it will hopefully be some good reults either a bfp or start injecting.
will do persies tommorrow after the pending results good night everyone
-
tantee, I did an antagonist cycle last time and would have liked to do it again this time. I responded much more quickly to the FSH injections. I had 16mm follicles after 8 days, which is quick for me. It's certainly a much quicker cycle than the long protocol. :)

Hi Girls,
Decided I need a change hence the Name change.
K78, so sorry to hear of your BFN, its just not fair :hug:. My sister got her results today as well and its a BFN too, she is devastated as this was her last try, she's been doing IVF for about 6 years now. :crying:
Lairdoz, When I do a FET, I am on Puregon @ 75 cIicks until my Oestrogen levels are between 600 - 700 for ovulation. Here's some of my examples
Jan - Day 11 E2: 397 LH: 5.4 / Day 16 E2: 677 LH: 3.6 Trigger Day 19
March - Day 11 E2: 593 LH: 3.0 Trigger that day
April - Day 9 E2: 184 LH: 2.2 / Day 13 E2: 669 LH: 2.7 Trigger Day 14
Hopes this helps :)
AFM: had my FET today, 2 embryos @ 6 cell and I also did my first round of accupuncture with my FET. I thought it was going to hurt but it didn't, highly recommend it for relaxation.
Big Hello to everyone else out there. Hope you all have a great week.
-
Love the New Name Justonemore - Thanks so much for the E2 numbers on your FET - I have another BT tomorrow (day 13) so will let you know how I go. Hopefully it will be up enough so we don't have to cancel :) A HUGE FX for your little embies, I hope that this is your month and mine too!
Thanks again, I can sleep a little easier knowing I have some hope of it not being cancelled as I couldn't find anything on the internet to tell me.
babytruj - Hope the scan goes well.
Tantee - sorry I can't help but I'm sure someone else on here can.

Just a super quick one ladies as Im at work and also about to run out and get a flu shot.
WOW, Ive beeen MIA for a few days and so much has happened.
Firstly thanks so much ladies for thinking of me, means so much, you ladies are the best! Your comments especially mum-2-be and Murraycod xoxo
Trueblue hun ~ waiting with baited breath, its exciting no matter what if its not a BFP you can still mkove on and you'll get there with IVF. Happy Birthday for Sunday, sorry I missed it. Hope you had a great day xoxo
K78 ~ So sorry it was BFN, I was so hoping for you reading through all your last posts. Was that a BT BFN?? :comfort:
Hi to the newbies and wishing you all the very best.
GL to everyone, hopefully more BFP's coming in here soon!
AFM ~ Still no AF and I did a test on Sat and there was no 2nd line at the time but then I got it out of the bin when I got home the next night and there was a 2nd line. Would that be because the test had been left only, could it be that I still have tini bit of HCG in blood from m/c or is it possible I could be pg. Very umlikely the latter but you can only hope. Might do another test in couple of days.
