Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - August 2008

[Bee83]

hi Everyone

Just a quick question i'm taking synarel, gonal-f and prednisolone and have been for a week and it makes me absolutely exhausted. I came home from work yesterday and slept till hubby got me something to eat then straight back to bed. Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks Ladies
Bee

Hey Bee,

I was on Lurcrin and Puregon (until today) and I was absolutely knackered. I could easily have slept all day. Even with being in bed by 830 and then up at 830 I was still yawning from around 11am onwards.

I hope it gets better for you. Mine did (kind of) or maybe I just got used to being tired - not sure..

Hi All

I'm just starting an IVF ISCI cycle so thought that I would join in.

Our TTC journey is long and extremely booring so I shan't go into it but all systems are now go. I should be starting Lucrin in about two weeks (assuming that the pharmacy can get some - there isn't any available in the state at the moment - supply issues apparently) and am apprehensive and excited all at once.

There are some familiar faces about and I look forward to getting to know everyone else really soon.

Hi Everyone

Muppity:

Nixon: Congrats on getting an EPU date. You must feel relieved that things are now moving forward for you. Fingers crossed that you get some good eggs and really good embryo's :goodluck2

AFM: Had FS appt yesterday and all systems go for our HRT FET in September. Based on dates I would estimate that we will do the transfer around the 23rd - 25th Sept, depending on whether they choose some of our Day 3 or Day 5 frosties. I have requested to have 2 transferred at the FET to hope that this will be successful. They seemed ok with transferring 2 as I am 35 with a family history of early menopause. So this means I will start the Pill when AF arrives (which should be any day now) and get everything in good order for hopefully a successful transfer.

I also went to the Chinese Medicine Doctor yesterday to work out a plan for Acupuncture around transfer time. He also did a full assessment on me and gave me herbs to take. I am hesitant to take anything in case they react to the medications I need to take for this cycle, so think I will just have the acupuncture. Has anyone taken Chinese Herbs at the same time as taking meds?? Did it have any affect???
