Janie - sorry sweet GL with FS
Little Fish: Well done on the BFP I am happy for you

[Janie71]

Well everyone, I spoke to FS today and we are going ahead with our last OI cycle this month. FS has advised that we should start on IVF if this does not work. I feel such mixed emotions. I feel glad that we are looking at moving forward and trying something new, but I always thought of IVF as my "back up plan". So I am quite emotional about moving onto it.

I have my follicle scan for the OI cycle next Monday when my FS will present us with all the information about IVF. I am trying to be positive, but just can't really explain why I feel so sad. We still have this OI cycle to go through, so who knows maybe this will be the one.

Is it normal to feel like this??? Its not like I have just been told that I have fertility issues, I have known that most of my life. Has anyone else started on OI and moved to IVF? How did you feel???

Hi Ladies

Janie - I have tried several cycles of OI and also several IUI and would highly recommed that you move on to IVF. I know it sounds scary and I totally understand cos this is my first cycle and I have been putting it off for quite some time. I have two friends that both had their children through IVF and they have been trying to convince me for years and now that I have finally decided to put my mind to it and be positive I am actually very excited. I wish you the best of luck in whatever avenue you choose

Little fish - congrats on the BFP - sounds very well deserved after the amount of time you have been trying - well done

Tiggerlinda - thanks for the sticky vibes - hope they work like magic

Best wishes to all

Kylie xx

Me - ob said AF 2 weeks post lap is normal - yeah, good to know it's normal - hate that I still have to wait to TTC til mid april but know it is precautionary - oh well, time flies I guess (just hope nothing else pops up that I have to wait more )

Hello everyone,

This is my first go here, so I hope that I'm doing this right. I want to thank you all as I've found your posts really informative and calming on my nerves.
So this is my story(shortened version);
After 18 months of TTC, including 3 cycles of clomid, we're in the process of our 1st IVF (ICSI)treatment. We're up to day 3 of the Puregon injections and still "sniffing" (as the nurses call it) the Synarel. My First ultrasound is next Monday & if all goes well they expect that collection will happen good friday or easter monday.
I had a mild case of OHSS whilst on the last cycle of Clomid and I was curious if anyone has any suggestions of avoiding it now?

Thanks again!

hi izzylou

i'm not far ahead of you, had my first cycle - EPU was three weeks ago (tomorrow). I overstimmed and have to wait till about mid April for Transfer.

Drink water, water and more water and take it easy. Your FS may need to adjust your meds but they will have more of an idea after you have your ultrasound and BT. I have to admit its an exciting moment when you see your follicles happening.

Good luck

Lou - Drink Lots and Lots and lots rest up and take it easy your body is doing more than normal and needs rest too

Belle - Hope all is going well

PCL - Good news re AF and lap I should be cycling around the 22 of April so maybe we will be TWW buddies

Hi to everyone and I hope all is well
