Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - February/March 2009

[Loula]

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!

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
