Take care,

Hi all
Laniwantsababy - GL for your transfer coming up. Yes I did another POAS and it was another BFN. After talking to lots of different people lately I realise that it is 99% approx. of it being due to the Puregon and Pregnyl in last IUI cycle. Have heard stories of people even getting up to CD55, im on CD40 today.
BDT - GL in TWW
All the very best to everyone and
Tania - I think I have already said so but CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!

Miss Magpie - That is absolutely fabulous news!!!!!! All the best for a H&H pregnancy. Hope to be joining you in a couple of weeks. You really helped me through the low egg numbers drama and gave me hope! Just goes to show it DOES only take one eggie!
As for us, we had our scan and the dr said there is still 7 follies (the big one that is probably a cyst he said) and 6 others that are all the right size and so he said to trigger tonight!!! We have the Ovidrel shot, but also 5000iu of pregnyl. He said that he wanted to make sure that the eggs fell away from the side of the wall of the follicle well and truely. He has been doing it more and more with women who are a little on the chubby side with great success. I'm not questioning the master!! Her E2 is 3391 today so it is great for 6 follicles.

Mind Hugs !! - Just wanted to say what an excellent tip you made with the icebrick from the freezer. We had to do two injections for the trigger last night, both the Pregnyl and the Ovidrel. Kim tried your method and she didnt feel a thing with either needle!!!!! Well done!

Selfish post alert - just had a call from the FC. My cycle has been cancelled only two days before the scheduled epu. Apparently my estrogen levels have now plummeted to the lowest low and they do not want to proceed with the pickup. They said now that they see how my body reacts to the drugs they will approach the next cycle very differently - starting me on a lower dosage of puregon and slowly building me up if required. This time they started me on 150ml and within 4 days I had 30 follicles fighting eachother for space and felt so sick with E2 levels exceeding 7000 but then they took me down to 25ml the last few days and my levels just plummeted at an alarming rate. Happy to trade my body for one that does what it's supposed to do!!!!!!!!! Feeling pretty bummed right now...bring on AF and let's start the whole thing again!

Jaxi - I am so sorry sweety. It's a hard thing to have your cycle cancelled. I guess the only positive is it shouldn't happen again as they will know what went wrong and approach it differently.
Try to stay positive and look forward to the next cycle hun, it will get better I promise.

Jaxi - I'm so sorry to hear that. They say the first cycle is trial and error. I feel lucky that I got as many eggs as I did this week on my first cycle given my age and my endo. I was so sick with it all though. But now I'm an OHSS timebomb waiting to happen and can't do implant until mid May, that's hoping that whatever embies make it to Blastocyst this Saturday actually survive the thawing process too. It's such a complex thing IVF - and can take a long time. You will be strong and fresh for your 2nd attempt which is a good thing. Chin up sweety pie.
Twomums - how good is that freezer brick! I thought, stuff the frozen coin, I'm going for something bigger. It just works so well. I hope other people in this forum get relief from it too. Good luck with EPU tomorrow.
We got news that 11 of my 16 eggs fertilised overnight, so now waiting to see which ones make it to Blastie phase. Survival of the fittest. I think the stats are at 40% success rate.
Take care everyone

Oh Jaxi - i'm so sorry to hear. Take care of yourself - I had a cancelled IUI cycle (which initially we thought was going really well) - I was deverstated almost more than the BFN just knowing your body isn't doing what it should - i know not quite as big as an IVF cycle but i can sympathise.
WLAB - Yay! GL for Wed xx
Mindhugs - 11 out of 16 is great news i have a really good feeling about this cycle for you - even if it will continue til May!
Welcome Jodes - There a few of us first timers in here!
Hello to everyone else
AFM - on night shift again tonight had a lovely sleep today though have just got back from a nice long walk with the dog - 3rd injection given gotta go and eat some dinner and relax.
Take care evry one and good luck with all the jabbing, pill popping, snifing etc etc.......

Hello lovely ladies.
Damn computer got a virus and i was out of action for a couple of days.to you MM, gotta love that BFP!!! To the ladies with not so great news, hang in there, I'm
for you. Im still just waiting, and waiting...........What are the benefits of a long down reg cycle as opposed to a flare cycle. I was day one with wouldloveabubba and my EPU is still weeks away. On the up side i have passed the one week mark without smoking, although i think DP was about ready to move into the spare room! Just a tad grizzly...Got my synarel and consent p'work in the mail and have Dr appt tomorrow....just gotta keep on waiting....Mel...

hUn thinking of you. sorry that it has ended your cycle this way. x
Hi Everyone,
Rob, BG, Bella55 thankyou for your warm welcomes..its good to hear some more positive feedback about Repromed Adelaide.
I had another appointment today with the FS and was going in to sign the consents for IVF. I walked out of there having done a blood test and booked on for another round of IUI. After chatting with my FS we decided that it would be worth it to give IUI another couple of shots..3 in all is what she recommended but i was happy to go 4.
Im working on a natural cycle so we anticipate the IUI for this saturday. I know its only a 20% chance that it would work but i guess it would be good to know that we gave IUI a good try before going any further.
I am also very concerned about OHSS if we have to do IVF as i have cystic ovaries..not pcos..but they have a cystic appearance with lots of follicles..that is my biggest fear about IVF!
Well i wish everyone luck over the next few days for whatever is coming up in your cycles..im sorry i cant give anyone much support or should i say advice yet as i've only just started FS treatment. I am definitely here if anyone wants to have a chat and i can empathise with you
Thanks again for listening everyone - xo
