TT40, you'd normally want up around 30 at 7dpo, although you could get away with mid-20s. In a medicated cycle, up around 45 is better. Sorry to hear it's not looking promising for transferring.
Kel, you had you lap around O time, didn't you? I'm surprised you haven't had AF. She showed up 2 weeks after my first lap (which was done when I was due to O). How long were you bleeding after the lap? Any chance she could have snuck through unnoticed because you were still bleeding? Otherwise, I guess it's possible the surgery was enough for your body to decide to not release an egg. You could always ask your FS about it if you're worried. You could also check with the surgeon doing your new lap whether it will be a problem if you're having a long cycle (I'd expect it's not a problem, but wouldn't hurt to ask).
Ceeljelz & faye, hugs to you ladies. It's so hard when you've been through so many disappointments and heartbreaks.
Williever, good to hear!
Afm, still no +opk. The last two have been a bit lighter, so not sure if I've missed the surge or if the urine was just more dilute. I didn't O until CD19 in the cycle after my Feb IUI, so I'm hoping that points to me not having O'd yet.
That's right juniper, I was cd 15 for my lap. I bleed a little the day of and the next day and then the 3rd day it got a little heavier but then stopped by the 4th day. I think I will ring the nurse at my clinic tomorrow.
Sorry to hear AF appeared N2L
Great News Williever
Has anyone had a reaction to cetrotide injection? I have had gonal f since wednesday and last night I had my first cetrotide injection, and for a couple hours I was very itchy n the area I had the injection, I spoke to the nurse about it, and she told me to see how I go tonight and if it gets worse they will have to change the medication tomorrow. Im just concerned about it, because I think if they gave me cetrotide is because is the right medication to have and if they change it, it worries me that it wont work as good as cetrotide?
I dont know what to think, perhaps I should just have the cetrotide and harden up a bit hehe, anyway is only itchy for a couple hours or less...
Any advice on supplements or tea that I should/can have while doing IVF, apart from elevit of course?
With regards to supplements 600mg of coq10, high strength fish oil, vitamin D, melatonin, DHEA....there's a whole raft but it's best not to take anything without your FS's okay. For them to have any bearing on your cycle, you need to be taking them for three or four months continuously in the lead up.
Yes, the cetrotide itch is common. I don't remember having it (but might not have noticed with all the other meds), but I remember the nurse warning me it might happen. Maybe I just ignored it since I knew it was expected? I've also used orgalutran as an alternative, but haven't ever changed mid-cycle.
Ditto what N2L said about the supplements. Best to discuss it with your FS and you need about 4 months to affect egg quality.
You could also consider acupuncture (again, you need 4 months to maximise egg quality, but the pre- and post-transfer treatments can help even if you haven't done the lead-up treatments).
Thanks Juniper76, I have been doing acupuncture for the last 8 weeks, I hope that helps a bit, it is my first ivf and I wasnt really concious about all the things you can have to improve fertility or to help ivf, egg quality and all those things... until 2 months ago, I feel a bit guilty for not doing anything before, in the last 2 years, but well I am here, cant change the past...
not good girls, looks like a chemical pg for me. I only manage one pg a yr and it does not last long!
Wtf. My blood test yest. Said a bfn . I panicked on sun day because I woke up and lost all my symptoms nearly but tried to tell myself it was all in my head.
On to of this my best friend wasn't going to tell me she was preg, but did after I told her about my Bfp. I was so bloody happy! And my friend is not going to keep it, she is getting it taken out tomorrow ... what is wrong with life?! She was praying so hard to lose hers and I praying so hard to keep mine why couldn't it work like this?!? I hate all this. I have to watch her lose voluntarily what I try so hard to have and love.
I am shatterd.
Guess I'm waiting to bleed now
Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear that. And how terrible that you have to deal with your friend's choice at the same time. I too wonder why the healthy BFPs so often go to those who don't want them...
