Krikkit - on my OI I did 50 then 75 units (Gonal F though but still FSH). This time (1st IVF) I started on 100 u of Puregon then it went to 200 half way through. They will want to start cautiously to avoid OHSS - it can be annoying though. In my OI I injected for 3 weeks and didn't respond so it was cancelled. But, slow and steady (hopefully) wins the race. Well done on getting through your first injections, or as I like to call them, stabs/jabs!! It took me ages the first time too. Now I'm definitely used to it. I do mine in the morning, and a couple of times the clinic got me to wait until the results of the BT before doing the jab, so that meant I had in mid-afternoon, but they didn't seem concern by me not taking it at exactly the same time each day.
B2B - congrats on getting 5 frosties! How exciting! My clinic only put back more than one if you are "over 40 and have 3 failed cycles" due to the risks associated with multiple births. For me they'll never do it as I have a blood clotting disorder.
Smithy - congrats on your little FET miracle!!!
Miss K - I hear you on the OMG I got AF front! Such an odd thing after so long! Glad things are moving forward.
AFM - 4 sleeps til BT! But I'm gonna POAS tomorrow - sorta freaked out by that and telling myself not to get too hopeful....
Miss K - congrats on AF coming, so happy for you and that you can move forward now with heaps more chance of getting that little miracle. GL. Im managing to keep myslef occupied until July - thanks for your thoughts.
Smithy - Huge congratulations! All the best for a H&H pregnancy. You give many people hope - thank you.
Krikit - I was on 75iu Puregon 1st IUI then they boosted me up to 100 for the 2nd try. I'll be interested to see what they put me on for IVF. All the very best with it all!
Baby2Bee - Well done on the eggs, keep yourself busy and the time will fly by. All the best.
Best wishes to everyone, wherever you are in your cycles, may we all get BFP in 09!! x
Wow, so many more people now... Hope you are all doing great!
I will try to keep on with everyone's cycles...
Mitf, I had a lap last Dec. and I had a cyst removed from my left ovary. AF arrived 5 days after surgery, just in time (30 days cycle). FS suggested for me to wait one month until I could start an IVF cycle. In my case I waited a little longer because we had holidays booked.
Baby 2bee, My case was exactly the same as yours... I had 23 eggs collected and couldn't do a fresh transfer... so I waited AF very excited... now I'm on estrogen pills and synarel. On the 18th June I will have a scan to check if uterus lining is thick enough. If so, they will thaw 4 embies on that same day, after that we will wait until blastocyst stage and transfer 1 embryo. I'm not sure what they will do with the remaining embies...but cientist said in some cases they can re-freeze.
For all of you waiting, I wish you GL. Time flies...and you will be starting your cycle very soon!!
TWW girls, all the best! Hope all goes well and you get positive results!!!
I will be away but come back in time to let you know about my FET.
I haven't been on for awhile as my computer had come down with a virus...all fixed now and back to my threads..i was starting to get withdrawal symptoms......not having access to read whats happening with you guys is worse than the 2ww!
Mitf - how are u going? R u still IVF in July? Looks like Loops12 might be joining us too...yepee!!!!
AFM - I have to wait till AF shows up around 2nd July to start my first cycle. My FS has put me on the Antagonist Cycle and we are doing ICSI with 2 embies transferred. Lets hope we get at least two beauties
Just wondering if anyone else has had any success with my protocol? I would love to hear from anyone who can lift my spirits......i am excited about IVF #1 but at the same time i am worried about not getting enough follicles and good eggs because of my age.
Good luck to you all!!

Emerald Star - yep July for me too - looks like there will be a few of us - yay
Lets hope we all have success.
Looks like the two of us have shared the same journey so far - 2 IUI's 2009 and 1st IVF in July - lets hope it continues with BFP's and pg's together!
I know what you mean - Im a bit worried about all that too even being younger its still all a worry. Plenty of women your age get pg though so stay pos. We'll get there!!
I have my BT tomorrow but I'm 100% sure it will be -ve.
POAS - Fri and Sat = +ve, today (twice) = -ve. No AF but I don't get it normally anyway so that's no indication.
The +ve's really got my hopes up and now I just feel completely devastated. Sometimes life just seems so unfair - why can some people get pg without even trying when they don't even want a baby, and those of us that do really struggle?
We have one blastie in the freezer - not sure how soon I'll be able to do a FET. I'd like to asap.
Our clinic sent a letter last week about the changes to the safety net that basically advises that from 1 Jan 2010 the OOP costs per cycle will go up by $1500-2000.
That means each full cycle will be OOP $3300-3800. Such great timing for that kind of information. Also means they will be super busy for the next 7 months while people try to cram in as many cycles as they can.
im still lurking and crossing all my crossables girls.
