Jaxi - 7000 might be a little high...wait and see what your second level is and what the clinic says. Might be the start of OHSS but they can always 'coast' you to see if they level out. All the best for your blood results...
Thanks TwoMums. Looks like coasting it is for tonight. No injection tonight, 25ml tomorrow night and then scan and BT on Monday at which point they'll probably trigger with epu set for Wed.
I spoke with the clinic today and we have decided to start a stim cycle straight away so it's round 2 for us, start on the pill tuesday for the down reg.
WOW I've been so nervous thinking about the epu (I don't do well with general anaesthetic) but now knowing there are a few of us having epu on Wed (or thereabouts) it's actually quite comforting. At this stage not so sure whether I'll be on the 2ww with you ladies tho as I've apparently had a stomach bug going through me the last few days and now the FS says he'll have to decide after epu whether to proceed with embryo impantation or hold it off for a month until my body is clear of any virus. Anyone know the success rates of 3-5 day transfer as opposed to frozen embryo transfer? I'm assuming that's what FET stands for!? Again, the novice in me appears!
Jaxi - I think you might be well enough by the end of next week. Are you going to have a 3 day transfer or blast transfer? It might be Monday when you go for embryo transfer. Eitherway I would try for a fresh transfer, but your FS knows best. Re the general anaesthetic, it is only a very light general, morelike a twilight sedation, although you are asleep and you wont remember anything, so you shouldnt experience the problems you have with general anaesthetic for more full on surgery. Just wake up a bit drowsy is all.
Not sure what the plan is for the transfer. I understand blasts have the highest success rate??
btw just noticed my mood has been stuck on "crappy" and I can't seem to find the mood option tab anywhere. Is it just my comp or has it disappeared? I promise I'm not ALWAYS in a crappy mood lol
Been very busy and popping in for quick looks but no updates of late. Have been watching in on everyone with great interest though - there's a lot of activity. About to start synarel on Tuesday and nervous about that but excited about getting started too.
Flying home to Oz in 3 weeks to start injections etc and feeling positive about it now. I wrote an email to my siblings a few days ago to let them know we were coming home to start treatment and had a really good cry whilst doing that as it suddenly dawned on me that this is actually happening. I think up until that point I really thought we would get our natural BFP and none of this would be happening. But we haven't and we are coming home to do IVF - writing that email certainly made it all sink in.
TwoMums - congrats on being able to stick with IVF and good luck for your EPU on Wed!
B2B- Hope the acupuncture is okay. I have been doing Acu for a couple of months now and whilst it hasn't got me a BFP so far I always come away feeling very relaxed. I hope it does the same for you.
Laniwantsababy - hope that your FS is supportive of your wish to have 2 transferred if that's what you feel is best. GL!
BrisvegasEndo - good luck for your EPU tomorrow - here's hoping you get lots of juicy follies!
Rob - good luck for your EPU which is soon - sounds like you will have good company in the TWW. Sending you loads of luck.
Bella55- Hope all is going well for you. Good to hear that you have started injections. So nervous about starting mine.
Babydreamtime - lots and lots and lots of luck for your transfer!!!!!!!!!!
Jaxi- hope you're feeling better and that you don't have to delay - fingers crossed for you!
Hi everyone.
I saw FS on Thursday re bub#2 and have started OCP. Lucrin injections start in 2 or 3 weeks (will get my program tomorrow). I am now quickly weaning bub #1 who is only 6 months old and I'm feeling very sad about that. I really want more children if at all possible and because of severe endo my chances are better sooner rather than later. I am also excited about starting the IVF rollercoaster again.
I found this forum to be very supportive last time so I will join you all again on this journey!
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL
It's been a really looooooong time since I was on here. I only really recognise one name, Smithy how are ya hun ? I'm hoping this means that the others all got their dreams!
How is everybody doing? Not quite the newbie but forgotten a lot. It might take me a while to get around to personals.
So since last time I was on here I have turned the big 3-0 and 3 weeks ago I married my sweetheart! AF arrived on Sat I have never been so happy to see the old witch! Started pill popping so here we go!
Question, does anybody know if it's safe to get the Fluvax whilst doing IVF?
Hi girls. It's me - BrisvegasEndo. since my endo is under control I wanted my name to be more reflective.
No wonder I woke up really sore this morning! All 16 of my follicles contained matured eggs. Man, I was walking like a pregnant woman! At EPU this morning they said they were all good enough to keep and didn't discard any. So now we wait with baited breath to see how they fertilise overnight and following that if they make it to Blastocyst.
That's the good the news!
The bad news is that because I produced so many they don't want to risk implanting even one due to possibility of OHSS. I'm good with that. They also don't want to risk my next cycle either, so now we wait till May for FET. I am going to use the time to get my system back to normal and spend some well overdue time at the gym strengthening my core.
Bella55 - good luck with your cycle. Everytime I get cranky with the IVF process I just think of the possibilities of a precious little baby and then it all fades away.
Jaxi - I'm just hours out of my first EPU as we speak. There is tenderness and spotting. Plus I'm constipated, so trying a little pear juice to help out there. As for the Ovidrel trigger try this..........take the injection out of the fridge about half an hour before administering, and instead of using a frozen 50 cent piece to numb the site of injection, go for a freezer brick (like the ones used in esky's, or something of similar size) and use for 1 minute. I did both of these and didn't feel the needle or the solution. It was great! Nothing to fear. Good luck with it.
Babydreamtime - I'm thinking of you and hoping for BFP. My husband and I are currently house hunting down on the Goldy. Perhaps when we move down you and I can hook up for a coffee?
MissMagpie - such amazing news. Huge congratulations. Hopefully the rest of us are not far behind you......
Twomums - good luck triggering. Thinking of you both. There were 2 mums at EPU today which made me think of you. They were honestly beaming from ear to ear. Their positivity was very contagious.
BrideofChucky - welcome back!
Hears hoping for a nice night for us all with painless triggers and not much tenderness around the abdomens.
Take care
