For those that have used dhea, did it make you start putting on weight? I go to WW and am running every day. Had weigh in tonight & I put on 1kg in the last week alone. I was gutted as I had put in a really good week. The dhea is the only new thing I am taking at the moment
Joe, that's an interesting theory. I've been taking it since February. I have gained a lot of weight in that time, but I had thought it was just the prednisone (steroid, I'm taking it every second cycle). I desperately need to lose some weight, so I might need to take a break from the DHEA as well this cycle in case it's both meds contributing to the weight gain?
Thanks Kel, Beau, Juniper and Emma, I am going to book Lap & Hyst. tomorrow, if I still can book in for this month, I will do it. Next month I am planning to go overseas and after I came back I want to start my stimulation cycle and I might want to froze embryos (because I feel separate egg collection and transfer, I cope progesterone better, but I take the risk for losing embryos). If I have any problems such as endo. and tubes, it will not affect my egg collection, I am right?
Beau, your lining is good and hope you will have BFP soon.
Welcome Mrs O'M
Anyway, Juniper, do you have any doctors to recommand in Mel. to me?
Bunny- I am counting down the days till your BT on Saturday... Have everything so tightly crossed that you get good news Xx
AFM- Getting a little anxious about my scan tomorrow. I really hope my lining is cooperating this cycle! Any ideas how thick my lining should 'ideally' be on CD10?

Jasmine - lining can change alot. I have had a measurement of 6.3mm on day 13 then 2 days later it was 8. I don't think they really care about the measurement until you are surging.
N2L - I had a look at that link & it said that there is insufficient evidence to declare it for use in weight loss & Juniper it said that the use of dhea & corticosteroids could be counterproductive as the corticosteroids make the body produce less dhea. So I guess that as long as you are taking a high enough dose it shouldn't be too bad. Also said it shouldn't be used in people with pcos! Hopefully the benefits will out weigh the bad & I can get on top of this weight loss
Well my appointment went OK this morning. Because my cycles are a bit all over the place ATM, I have to take 3 progynova tablets daily to thicken up my lining on CD1 and 2 progesterone pessaries morning and night, when I have my FET. I've only had one FET cycle with my wee man but that was a natural cycle, so this one is a bit of a shock to the system The FS said that the progesterone pessaries a bit expensive....any idea of the cost ladies? Anyway, apparently I have a grade A embryo, and the other two are a grade B and one a grade C. So I'm hoping like mad that the grade A one thaws out OK..
Pressaries cost me about $60 for 15 of them ( I have a couple left in the fridge with the price on them) private health said that if they were listed as being for HRT they would have covered some of the cost, so see what the label is on the tax invoice and FX your health insurance company can help out. Mine were not listed like that so I got nothing back. Bit stupid really... Seeing they are a hormone... Clearly if you are taking them its to replace the hormone you don't have....
I'm taking those pessaries but not sure of cost Miss B as its included in ivf cost. Sounds like you've got really good quality frosties! So when will your FET be? GL with the journey fx for you. I was tempted to test yday but im scared ill still have hcg from injection and get false positive! Just one more day to wait so I'm gonna hang on!
Miss B - my last cycle I did hrt. My pesseries cost $210 for 100.
Bunnyfeet - when was your last pregnyl? I have 4 pregnyl shots following transfer till bt. My bt is always 4 days after last pregnyl shot. I did have bt once 3 days later & pregnyl was still around so never doing that again. The clinic wasn't sure if it was pregnyl or a pregnancy in trouble so needed another bt 2 days later.
