Congrats WW! FX this bub is a nice sticky one for you xxx

**CatyO** · July 18th, 2014, 11:01 PM

WW - Congratulations!! Im so excited for you! xx
1 More - Good luck tomorrow!!

AFM - Had EPU this morning and got 10 eggs, they will call me tomorrow I think to let me know, how the eggs are behaving... Im very sore, and have sore back too, wasn't like this with the ivf last year, maybe because I had more eggs this time around? Also, I have red spotting, did you guys experience red spotting after epu and for how long?
They gave me crinone 8% vaginal gel (progesterone 90 mg) to start on sunday, they gave me 12 applicators. and then I will have only 1 shot of pregnyl 500iu on Thursday (the day after ET). Before, I was worrying about how many eggs I was going to get, now Im worrying about the support after transfer. It doesn't seem enough to me, lol
Crinone is what they call pessaries? If I have 12 applicators, 1 per day, does that mean that I wont be able to POAS, because crinone could give me a false positive?
Have a great weekend ladies

Crinone comes in pessaries & gel I asked all that today because a friend had pessaries and had to remain prone for 20mins each time... I was like do I have to do that? Nurse laughed & said nope you have gel all good... Phew... I'm confused about mine too I got 12 applicators but she said I use it twice a day for 15days so I should have 30 by my count??

CatyO, congrats! I had some bleeding after one of my EPUs and it stopped after a day or so. If it continues longer it might be worth calling your FS to ask about it. Crinone and pessaries are not the same, but the are used interchangeably. You have to lie down after the pessaries (which are solid), but you don't after the crinone (which is a gel). If you're worried about the luteal support (and I wouldn't consider that enough for me), call your FS and ask if you can have more. I used to have 3x crinone (or 3x 200mg pessaries) per day and 3 1500iu pregnyl booster shots after transfer for my IVF cycles.

chellico, yes, if you need to do 2 per day for 15 days, you need 30. Best ask them about that...

**CatyO** · July 19th, 2014, 02:29 AM

Thanks juniper, I will definitely will ask her if I can have more.

day 14 and still neg OPK.

Has anyone used clomid while breastfeeding? its the next step but I was hoping that it wouldnt come to that.

**Pholi** · July 19th, 2014, 04:45 AM

WW, how exciting! FX things keep going well for you !

And the ladies with lots of eggs ! I really hope I get that many, too.

I feel like AF might be coming tomorrow. I'm meant to go in for scans and a BT on cd2 to check for that cyst that was on one ovary- but that's going to be Sunday! And if I have to wait til Monday, will it be too late to start a cycle anyway?

**juniper76** · July 19th, 2014, 05:11 AM

Has anyone used clomid while breastfeeding? its the next step but I was hoping that it wouldnt come to that.

Personally, I wouldn't. But if you are keen to give it a go there's no harm in asking your Dr about it and discussing any risks. At least then you can make an informed choice...

Pholi, there shouldn't be any problem starting a day later if day 2 falls on Sunday. Just call the nurses and ask about it...

**CatyO** · July 19th, 2014, 04:10 PM

I just got call from clinic to say that 6 from 10 eggs fertilised, hopefully they make it to transfer. We didn't have ICSI, perhaps l would have gotten more fertilised if l had had it? Or whats the difference between having and not having ICSI?

**Pholi** · July 19th, 2014, 06:31 PM

I would have thought that 6 out if 10 is an ok rate. Afaik, generally ICSI is only used if there are male factors to your infertility.

**Spoons** · July 19th, 2014, 07:12 PM

Hi there. I hope you ladies don't mind me joining you in here. I'm CD1 today, this will be my 14th cycle TTC our first. We've got an appt with a specialist at the end of this month. I've had CD21 bloods and a transvaginal ultrasound which were both normal. Just waiting on DH to do his semen analysis. Today I'm on the couch with a heat pack and feeling pretty miserable. Thanks for sharing this journey with me and all the best to you all xo

Spoons, hi and welcome! Hope you're feeling better soon. AF can be so nasty at times.

CatyO, we did ICSI with our 5th IVF just because we were up to our 5th cycle and it was something new to try. It was a few years later that DH's MFI was diagnosed (long story), so I do think we actually needed it. The thing with ICSI though is that there are some who believes it damages the eggs/embryos and makes hatching difficult or something like that (can't remember exactly), so it's not without risks.

WW, a "typical" level for 14dpo is 100, so you're very close to that! But most FS just want to see the level over 50 at that stage and you're well above that! I'd be cautiously optimistic about that result!
