Juniper, Yeh I guess it makes sense that body is under less stress during a FET cycle.. But my biggest concern is the thaw. In my previous ivf cycle I only ended up with one viable embryo out of 6 eggs which left nothing to freeze. Fx I have more to work with this cycle.. The FS said he will do everything he can to try and get more follicles happening this time.
Thanks Jasmine I'm glad you're still going for a scan tomorrow. Mine is on Friday. With the FETs, my FS believes they have better success rates than the fresh transfers, and soon Monash IVF will be only doing FETs for that reason. I too was worried about the thawing out rates, but apparently the medium they are using now is so much better that the thawing out rate is around 70 - 80 %. So fingers crossed for our FETs! I'm definitely having a transfer in July with a frozen embie.
Wow so much is going on in here! I hope everyone is going ok
AFM - I am waiting around for my next lap next Thursday to remove all my endo and when I had my pre op last week my FS wants to take out my left Fallopian tube all together due to the extent of damage and inflammation. This really scared me hearing this as I want to make sure I make the right decision. After this lap we will try naturally for a few months but not for long as my AMH is 1.1 so I am on a bit of a tight deadline to do another stim cycle. I am leaning towards removing it and taking my dr advice as there is no point having it there if it is just being a nuisance. I still haven't got my period yet either I am four weeks late. My dr said that when he went in he had to fix up a cyst on my right ovary and because I was cd 15 this could have just stopped an egg from being released. I have been spotting the last three days but only today did I actually have to change a pad but I still really wouldn't class it as my period, no clumps or anything there when I go to the toilet (tmi I know, sorry) I just hope my cycle isn't this irregular after this next lap otherwise it will make it difficult for us to try naturally and we will be wasting time . Sorry for the long post everyone.
Oh Kel, that's so much to take in and process! I hope that after your lap you have a good chance of falling pg naturally. GL on Thursday, hope all goes well for you
there will be no POAS here ..... I'd just die of anxiety and stress if it's not what I want, so it's not even worth it. Bad enough having a BFN.... but a BFN every day for the next 8 days.... ahhh... no thanks.... if I have to have one at all... it will be just one thankyou very much
so..... going to be VERY busy marking assignments this week (I teach an off line course, as well as my two other jobs... I know... crazy...)... so I might not be in much... I think it will be good for me as well, to just stay busy and not dwell.
thinking of you all often.
Kel - I am sorry things are scary with the endo - it's a big decision you are faced
Jasmine - every Down regulation stim cycle I have to have a scan while bleeding - it's pretty bleugh.... but.... the nurses have always been really good, and the see everything and anything... so... its just another one of those undignified things we have to go through to get a little bundle. I hope that tomorrow's scan is exactly where things are supposed to be.
CatyO - good to hear you got something to freeze still! My first cycle felt like a bust - and you are further ahead than I was - out of the 4 stims I have done (prior to this one) only one of them had anything to freeze. FX you won't need it as you've got a sticky blob in there
Hummingbird - I am exceptionally envious here's hoping I can join you and Faye in the Feb Belly Buddies group soon xx
Miss B - I am always grateful for your support, and hope you get good news for this cycle too xox
everyone else - hope you are going well with whatever sniffing, pill popping, stabbing or waiting you happen to be doing look after yourselves xox
Kel, if there's a chance the tube could be compromising your fertility (eg creating a toxic environment), then best to have it gone. If it's as damaged as you say, it won't be doing you any good anyway, so there's no benefit in keeping it. It may make the recovery from the surgery a little longer, but it will save you having to have yet another surgery to remove it later and hopefully get you to your BFP more quickly.
myturn, 7 snowbabies is fabulous! Congrats!

CD1 and have to be at the FS at 5:50am tomorrow to kick off the IUI. 5:50am!! Hoping I get to sleep early tonight because I've been getting to sleep after 2am lately, so that would only give me about 2 hours sleep (getting up at 4:30am) if I do the same tonight...
juniper really hoping you get some more sleep for an early morning tomorrow you must be exhausted I don't know how you do it. Good Luck with
your iui sending you lots of bfp vibes xxx
