Bunnyfeet, I haven't used BCP with my IVF cycles, but it is very common to do a cycle of BCP before an IVF cycle.

Bestrong, if the surgery was causing you so much stress and anxiety, cancelling sounds like a good option for now. I hope you can work out a better time/way to do it. :hug:

Bunnyfeet, sorry I don't know what it is BCP and I had no idea.

Thank you Juniper, anyway could I ask how much do you pay for Hyst & Lap.?

Bestrong sounds like you made the right decision. Have a break and reassess things. (oh and BCP is birth control pill)

Thanks everyone else for your advice :)

Bestrong, DH paid those bills and never remembers the numbers when I ask him, but he thinks it was about $2k OOP after Medicare and PHI.

Ladies I need your help. I'm supposed to be taking the progynova tablets 3 times daily frim CD1. I've had brown spotting for a couple of days and today I felt 'wet' (sorry TMI), at around 12 o'clock today and had a very small amount of red/pinkish blood. Then nothing much, and then around 6.10 I had some more blood but not really full flow. Should I count today as CD1? Why does this always happen to me on a Saturday when I can't call anyone...:wall:

Miss B - my clinic says its day one if full bleeding (ie need pad/tampon) before lunch. I know other clinics are different though. For hrt get cycle I started progynova day 2 so I guess it's up to what you feel is right.

Miss.B, personally, I wouldn't call today CD1 if that happened to me, especially since you say it's still not full flow. This time around I had a light bleed on Tues night, then spotting all day Wed before AF finally started properly at 5:30pm Wed, so I called Thurs CD1. My current FS only calls it CD1 if you wake up with AF. Our previous FS had an 8am cut-off and the one before that had a 4pm cut-off, so they're all different.

Miss.B I took progynova tablets 3 times daily for last FET cycle. My nurse told me you can take on day 1 or day 2 as long as it is ealier days of your period. I called my nurse when I start light bleeding, she said if I am sure I got my period later of the day, I can take 2 tablets at that night. My period became heavier around 5pm but not full flow, I took 2 tablets that night, and I start taking 3 tablets daily next day. I think you take it from tomorrow morning it is still alright.

Bunny, actually I took BCP for nearly a month before my first IVF cycle and then I used nasal spray and from CD1 I used puregon and nasal spray together for a while. It is interesting, when I ask second opinion with this doctor, he told me my first cycle is a good cycle because my E2 level is the highest one than the other cycles. I had 7 eggs collected in that cycle. As I know taking BCP for a long term it might cause weight gain, increase blood pressure, tender breasts and so on, but we only taking it for such a short term 16 days or a month, it will have limited side effects. If you are really worried about it, you can even ask your pharmacy to confirm it.

Thank you Juniper!

Thanks Bestrong x

feeling pretty crappy today.. lots of cramping :( I am sure AF will come tomorrow.

We had DD's birthday party yesterday so that has kept my mind off it a bit.

I took BCP before this cycle and also before the last cycle, other wise i would be waiting months for AF to arrive.

Hang in there Glorious honestly you can get all pmt symptoms and cramps and it doesn't always mean AF. Fingers x for you
Jasmine good luck for your scan tomorrow. Fx for you too x

Oh Glorious - I hope you are wrong. Is your test Wednesday?

I have been feeling crampy all day today too. I caved & did hpt but in afternoon & it was neg :(. Hoping it was too dilute.

When is your BT Beau?

Tuesday

Torture almost over hang in there! TWW sucks!

yes BT wednesday.. have done 2 HPT over this week and both neg one i did the day after the pregnyl to see if it showed up and it didnt....

Beestrong- I agree with Juniper.. If the lap was causing you stress your best leaving it for now.

Bunny- What did you decide to do honey?

MissB- Yay for the arrival of AF. When do you have your first scan to check on the progress of your lining? Fx we end up in the TWW together!

Glorious- When did you do the last hpt? Fx it was too early! Wierd that it was negative the day after Pregnyl hey.

Beau- Oh honey I can imagine you must be stressed after seeing the neg hpt. I'm assuming you must have been too dilute. Did you use a FRER?

AFM- One more sleep till my scan. Praying so so hard that my lining is doing something!

Going to go natural and not take bcp Jasmine. My hubby gets home from fifo next week so we're having a short break away can't wait. So Juniper you can pop me down as taking a break until I know when I can go for fet. Im hoping my lining thins out nxt month. If you and I could only help each other out Jasmine!! Praying for you too gl with scan! x

hi everyone.... I'm stalking, but it's really hard to 'get into' it at the moment. I am doing an FET this month, but to be honest, I feel like it's a waste... I want to do it, but I can't imagine it working.

watching Juno tonight... and it's harder to watch this time - I loved it the first few times I saw it... but somehow it has a different meaning these days... sigh....

Sorry I didn't do personals yesterday ladies, I was so dog tired. No wonder as today I got the full flow. So CD1 for me.

Thanks for the replies regarding the cycle days ladies. I don't know why I get so nervous when I start a cycle, I suppose I just want to do all the right things. So I got more of a flow after 6 pm yesterday, but I'm counting today as day 1 as it was full flow from early in the morning. Took my 3 progynova tables today.

Beau, so confusing hun!! I'm glad there is a pg sac there, but I'm not sure why you're getting negative pg tests. Hang in there till Tuesday hun :hug:.

Jasmine, I will call my nurse tomorrow and find out when I go in for my first scan. I have to really start organising my pessaries though, I will need them soon. GL with your scan tomorrow, FX.

Glorious, hang in there lovely :hug:

Juniper, boo to CD1 hun, wishing you all the luck in the world in your next 2WW :crossfingers:

Bunnyfeet, have a lovely break with your DH, looking forward and wishing you well for your FET x

Myturn, we'll be doing a FET together!! Yay! Lots of luck to us both hun and the others! :crossfingers::goodluck::pray:

Thanks Miss B good luck with your cycle hun x I will be stalking you all on my break :)

Juniper, boo to CD1 hun, wishing you all the luck in the world in your next 2WW :crossfingers:

Not CD1 for me. Did I miss someone? I'm already in the 2ww - 3dpo today...

Sorry Juniper, clearly I already have side affects from the progynova lol.

Just had my scan. I have a 17mm follicle on the left and an 8.7mm lining :dance: . I will triggering this arvo and go back next Monday for FET. The FS has given me Pregnyl boosters, crinone, provera and prednisone to help 'support' everything.

That's fantastic news Jasmine so happy for you hun! Great way to start the week :):)

Awesome news Jasmine. So happy for you. Finally something has worked!

I poas again this morning. It's positive but faint. I used one step brand. A friend gave me a few ages ago. I'm still not convinced. It could still be the pregnyl as last shot was Friday morning. What do you girls who poas regularly think?

I'm not poaser Beau but I have my fx your test this morning is right :)

GL tomorrow Beau ;) x

Scan this morning :) and it's our wedding anniversary so we are going to olinda this afternoon for the night - I have a training course this morning and then the rest of the day and tomorrow we have taken off to celebrate. DH wrote me the most beautiful card this morning - finished with "I hope you don't give up in your dream because I can't wait to see your face glow". Made me cry.

I guess I'm feeling ok today - apprehensive about the whole cycle I think. But anyway.

Beau- GL with your BT today honey x

MyTurn- Your DH sounds very sweet. GL with this cycle x

MissB- Sending loads of lining thickening vibes you way X

Jasmine--I am very happy to hear your lining is getting much better, parentally Prednisone and all the others are working on you this time. I will pray for you to get BFP.

Beau--The words from your DH are very in touch, he is so sweet and supportive. I am sure your dream will become ture...

Miss.B -- I pray for you to have good lining for implantation. I can't wait to hear good news from you.

Happy anniversary myturn. Sounds like you've got a keeper there in your DH, such a beautiful msg in your card.
GL today Beau I have everything crossed for you!
Im sending lots of thickening vibes your way too Miss B :)

Does anyone know if it's normal to have cramps the day after Ovidrel trigger? I had my trigger yesterday arvo and all day today I have felt like AF is about to start. I have really bad tummy / lower back pains that are going right down my legs. Is this normal? I'm so freaking scared that I'm going to start bleeding again :wall:

Beau- How did your BT go? Have you got your results back yet? X

Jasmine I know triggers always give me pmt symptoms and I always feel really uncomfortable but I don't get AF pain. Hopefully others can help more. Why not call your FS if you're worried hun?

Happy anniversary myturn!! So jealous, the Dandenongs used to be our little get away, well that was BC (before children lol). Your DH sounds amazing, such beautiful words he has written for you, you are very lucky!

Beau, hope your BT went well xx

Jasmine, I'm not sure about the pains. I would get in touch with my FS or nurse hun.

Thanks so much for my 'thickening' vibes ladies :) Apparently the progynova tablets can make you crampy and give you sore boobies but so far I only have been feeling very tired. On a good note, I went to a chemist near our shop and it turns out they are a compounding chemist and make their own drugs and the lady there quoted me $1.89 per pessary. So much happier with that as so far I've been quoted around $4 per prssary...:o
