Williever I'm surrounded by babies too! My friends, my sister in laws even two of my nieces! It seems like every other day I'm hearing news of another pregnancy! Its so hard but you know we have to have faith that soon it will be our turn!
Jasmine I'm curious to know about Prednisone. My FS recommends as standard during fresh and frozen cycles but I had a reaction to it and he said to stop. But I'd hate it to be a reason why my cycle would not work! Did he say what it does?
Bunny- My FS called me yesterday and said he will put me on prednisone this cycle. He said that it helps with implantation as it suppresses the immune system and stops the body 'attacking' the embryo. Are you able to do a FET this cycle or do you have to wait out a cycle?
Beestrong- I'm glad you have decided to go with the lap. Good luck.
AFM- Started taking low carb protein powder yesterday as recommended by my acupuncturist along with omega 3 and iron tablets.. Will be interesting to see if it makes a difference. My FS has also agreed with the acupuncturist and will be starting me on prednisone. Fingers crossed all of this combined with the 250iu of Gonal will get something happening. Just waiting for Monday for my next scan..
Sounds like a good plan Jasmine. Fx it does the trick and you can do your fet.
I had meet with my fs yesterday. My lining hasn't shed enough and he said my ovaries are too active still. So he wants to scan me and do bloods again tomorrow morning to see if things have settled but he thinks I may need to rest for a month
Glorious, cramps alone are not a sign of the end. I get them either way - BFN or BFP. And I had more cramps with my IVF BFP than my natural ones... FX it's a false alarm and you'll be getting good news.
Lovely ladies I need your advice! Had my scan to see if I could start fet and my old problem is rearing its head, lining too thick to start. FS has given me option of either starting BCP for 16 days or wait for next natural cycle. Have any of you taken the BCP before an ivf cycle and any opinions? I guess I'm a bit paranoid taking it because my sister was just dx with breast cancer few months ago. Just wondering what anyone's experience of it was, thanks
Jasmine, I really hope this way will work on you better, your acupuncturist is really helpful. As I know Abalone contained very high protein, making soup with chicken or pork, it tastes very good (my husband like it). You can buy from local fish shop (frozen one) or Asian shop.
N2L, I am putting my hands up too.
I cancelled my Hyst. and Lap., the anaesthetist called me on Thursday, he wants $900 prepaid now (I was told is around $300) and the hospital bed fee is $1305 (I was told $550 in a different hospital ) and assistant fee no one tell me how much exactly, it is likely to be around $5000 and I was budgeting about $3000 before as the information they gave to me, plus short notice and I have to take extra days off from work before my holiday, I was so stressed and I decided to cancel it yesterday, now I feel much relieved. I think I am having too much at moment, thinking changing doctor and clinic and getting all the tests (blood, urine, swab) done next Monday and I have to go back to this doctor the following Monday. I feel overloaded and I had a big cried yesterday, now I feel much better, I need to do all these step by step. Having my holiday first and think all the others later.
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.
but you know we have to have faith that soon it will be our turn!
