CatyO try to think positive Hun! 325 is great. My level was 288 18 dpo. My levels increased as they should till week 7 - I didn't ask for my levels but at scan could tell everything was wrong. I only had bts once a week and scan at 7 1/2 weeks. I really really hope that yours is a good one & stays healthy.
Jasmine - yay for 6 fertilising that's great. My bt isn't till next Tuesday - it's still so far away!
Jasmine00 I'm honestly not sure at all about the blast or anything so I will let someone else let you know but good luck and yes i'm going to have picsi with assisted hatching
and embryo glue again best of luck fx xxx
Beau30 your so good you must have a lot of will power sadly i'm lacking i'm a poas addict but wishing you a bfp xxx
afm: DR's appointment tomorrow so hopefully trigger either sunday or Monday and iui next week
I just got a call from the clinic and is not good news. They said the hgc increased too slow and l will have to go on Monday and Wednesday for bt
It went only from 325 Wednesday to 345 today...
CatyO, sorry to hear that, hun. It could be a warning sign that things aren't right, but there are also other potential explanations (eg lab error, vanishing twin, etc). It's hard to have to just "wait and see" and be stuck in limbo. Hoping and praying that all is well in spite of the test result.
Back home now after my lap yesterday to remove the endo and my left Fallopian tube. FS said that it was that badly inflamed that it was stuck to the side of my pelvic wall. Yuck! surprisingly I am feeling quite good, considering how much they did and that the last one I had I couldn't even stand up straight. Lets hope the recovery keeps going well. Feeling quite tired so no personals today as I still have to read through it all but I hope everyone is going ok
Beau30, thanks for telling me how your clinic doing the Hormorne replacement cycle,I will consult the other doctor for second opinion next time. I wish you have BFP soon.
Miss.B, congratulations for your 3 frozen embryos, wish you will do well in your next transfer cycle.
Joespratt, I heard taking DHEA 75mg per day for 3 months will improve egg quality, but my FS did not recommend it to me, I'm interested to know how you are going with it.
I had a bad news- my two frozen embryos were not going well to be transferred. I received a phone call from embryologist in the early morning yesterday when I was prepared to go to do the transfer and she told me one embryo was discarded on the day defrosted and the other one was not growing anymore on day 5 (My embryos defrosted on day 3 and grew to day 5 for transfer). I was very disappointed and I called my clinic, they told me I can come to see my doctor in the afternoon of yesterday. My doctor gave me a prescription of Melatonin 4mg per day, he said recent study shows Melatonin which is a nature hormone can help improve egg quality but it hasn’t been strongly approved. He asked me to take it from yesterday and even continuing on stimulation period and after transfer. I want to do the next cycle for egg collection and my doctor said I can do it when I period come this month. Did anyone take melatonin before and how long you have to take it before IVF cycle?

Kel, I'm glad to hear it went well. Rest up and you can catch up on the goings on here when you're feeling better.
Bestrong, I'm sorry to hear your embies didn't make it to transfer. That's always horribly disappointing. I'm on 5mg melatonin for my IUI cycles. I start at the beginning of the cycle and stop at the end. My acu said that a lot of women stop after O though, so I plan to ask my FS about that when I have my IUI. I've also been told that if you take it more than 6 weeks straight your body can stop producing its own melatonin, so I'm reluctant to take that risk (since I'm already prone to insomnia).
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. When I last wrote my sister was just diagnosed with breast cancer. So she's had surgery last week and starts chemo nxt month. I also managed to start my shots (after an initial scan that lining was still too thick!) so got to start on day 5. All going well until yesterday I have premature luthinisation which is where my p4 is too high and again my lining is too thick too early on. I was given option to either cancel cycle ( im on day 11) or proceed with pick up and freeze, so we decided on the later. So all in all it's been a stressful month I have pick up on Monday. Fingers crossed we have some to freeze as we didn't last cycle.
I have a lot to read over here to catch up on everyone! Hope you are all doing ok.

Hi girls, thanks for all your comments. Just wanted to know if that brown spotting was normal or common. To be hones lm feeling very positive and enthusiastic, the sadness from las weekend lasted what it had to last. I have always recovered quick from "fatalities". I guess l didnt really get to feel pregnant, thats why l got over it quickly. Of course there was the sadness of holding hopes and then didnt get what l wanted, but l think l was prepared for the first IVF not working as they told me that hundreds of times... But l know it will happen someday
The only reason that has me here waiting anxiously for my period is that we are going overseas and l Would like to have everything in order before we go, in case l needed a D&C... how long it takes to recover normally after a D&C?
Juniper, l wont be ttc in the next couple months, so could you put me on taking a break, please? When we go on holidays l dont really worry about it. We dtd whenever we feel like it
1 week and it should be starting!!!!! OMG
we have brought the cycle closer, I have my nurses meeting on friday and collect drugs.. then stop the pill on monday week...
and l will have to go on Monday and Wednesday for bt
