You me both Andie!
Andie, you could certainly go higher if you wanted (unless your Dr thinks there's a risk of OHSS). Most Drs will go as high as 350iu if it is warranted (and 3 eggs last time sounds like a good reason to me). Some worry about egg quality if you go higher. Our first FS wouldn't go above 350iu, but our current FS had me on 450iu last time (and is proposing to do the same again, but I'm wondering if we should drop back to below 350 to avoid risking egg quality - he doesn't think the high dose will affect egg quality but it worries me). (ps. yes, I've read that the elonva is supposed to be equivalent to around 200iu of FSH)
I share your concern about the down-reg protocol, but my FS won't budge on it unless we try it and get less than 3 eggs (with the 450iu of gonal-f he wants me to use).
Vic I hope all 4 make it to tomorrow and you get some frosties. Good luck with transfer tomorrow, stick little embies stick........

Vic, I hope everything goes perfectly today! :goodluck:
Morning girls.
Good luck for today Vic.
Wow N2L that is one crazy lot of stuff they have you doing. Hopefully with the combination of everything you produce some beautiful eggs.
Juniper - please try & look after yourself and take time for you while everything else is going on around you.
Can u please add me to waiting for af.
I'm still waiting to see my fs next week to sort out what's to happen with my fet next cycle.
Hi to everyone else. Have a Good Friday & great weekend.
So I find myself back here after my second scan today confirmed that while I was pregnant, no baby developed. FS says the ges sac looks really comfy where it is so will need to have d&c to finish it all off. To say devastated is an understatement! While my first scan showed an empty ges sac, this one showed a foetal pole that just didn't develop. With no more frosties will have to look at going through the whole IVF/PGD process again. Time to process this all first before trying to plan too much ahead.
good luck today vic with your transfer!
Joe, I'm so sorry to hear that. Seems to have happened to a lot of us this year. It's just so unfair after all we go through to get pg in the first place! :grouphug:
Joe so sorry for the news you received today. Give yourself some time to process and work through your loss. Thinking of you and sending you a huge hug, take care xo
Joe -so very, very sorry to hear your sad news. I can understand how devastated you must be. My heart goes out to you xxx
I am now pupo. Two on board. I could see which one had been assisted. Another one arrested yesterday so one in the lab. Ihave to call tomorrow to see if its frozen, but usually when they say that its usually not suitable. So looks like this it for us. Now or never. This is our worst cycle yet. I guess its the age factor catching up with us. Seems like the coq10 didnt do anything for us. Sad, when I had high hopes for it. Bt on the 30th.
Big BIG HUgS Joe, i wish there was something i could say to make it better, just look after yourself and let it out xoxox
Best of luck vic i hope you get a BFP!
I'm sorry to hear your news Jo, look after yourself hun :hug:
GL with your embies Vic, hope this cycle brings you the baby you crave for :crossfingers:
Good luck Vic, crossing everything for you that your little embies tuck up nicely and stick.
Oh jo.... I'm so sorry!!! Sounds almost exactly like my last cycle :(
:hug: crappest feeling ever.
Look after and be kind to yourself xx
Joe - I'm sooo sorry. Sending you big hugs.
Vic - Grow little embies grow and stick with mum! I'm still crossing everything for you, honey!
AFM Spotting has started, so AF won't be too far off . Am sad on the one hand, was hoping for a natural miracle (who doesn't in this thread...), but yet again my body has failed me. On the other hand this will mean that we can start with our FET sooner than expected as I thought AF was still a couple of days away... Oh well, we'll see. Thinking of you all!
Hi Juniper - can you set me as day 1 today! Thanks heaps!
My other embie was frozen. I was pretty shocked. Day 3 12 cell. If need be we can do assisted hatching one that one too.
We stayed in adelaide this time. First time we have not flown back the same day. I always wonder if the plane cabin pressure done anything to the embies.
I still must believe in the coq10 as I bought two more jars today. $14.95 each at chemart. 30 capsules 150mg.
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

Hi everyone,fs started me on metformin today as i expressed my concern of rapid weight gain.and have been putting more and more on since coming off the pill 13 months ago.and since that spotting i had was nothing and i didnt get a period i hav opted to start on provera tonight.and injections of gonal f at a higher dose this time when period arrives.here we go again :/
vic - stick little embies stick! wishing you the best of luck xxx
Thanks joe. I have been thinking of you x
Good luck wish&dream for this cycle.
W&D, I had been wondering how you were going. I hope the metformin and higher dose of FSH work well for you.
Afm, I had a little (aka huge, day-long) meltdown yesterday but am feeling better today. Yesterday I was ready to throw in the towel, but today I am happy with my plan. I'll be calling the FS next week to ask about doing injects+TI before IVF, to test how I respond to the FSH now that a couple of years have passed. Jumping straight into the IVF just felt wrong on every front (wrong protocol, wrong FSH dose, wrong timing) and this feels right, so I think this is the way to go for now. Hopefully our FS will agree.
Anyway, I indulged in some retail therapy and sugar today (for both of which I will no doubt pay later) and feel much more at peace with our situation.
Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry I've been MIA.
I've been reading along every day and think of you all often. Sending a big
:grouphug: to everyone doing it tough.
After my meltdown over last month's cancelled cycle my FS upped the dose of FSH and we started again straight away.
I am now cd12 and this time around has gone much better. I am booked in for EPU on Monday.
I know we still have a long way to go but to know this will be the closest we've ever been to pregnant gives me great hope.
Doing trigger injections tonight at midnight. Yawn. I'm exhausted just thinking about it
Much love to everyone. I'll pop back in Monday night. Xxx

Wow girls I've been on 650 gonal f at one point it was a lot higher, Scary!
Good luck to u all I'm having hysteroscopy next mon then back starting week after!
Can I ask what is metaformin and what's it used for?
X
Nire, I'm so glad to hear this cycle is going a lot better! FX for Monday!
Blossom, GL with your hysteroscopy! Metformin is used to treat insulin resistance (IR). In fertility, it is mostly used to treat PCOS patients who have IR, but it also sometimes seems to be used for less specific, but related, hormonal imbalances.
Metformin is normally used in Diabetes, but also used by some of us with unexplained infertility, mostly to stop ovaries from producing too many eggs. I'm pretty sure some of the girls that have PCOS use it, I was prescribed it when I started doing IVF and because I already respond to a little amount of gonal f with lots of eggs, trying to have less eggs and bigger and better quality ones.
There have been lots of studies which link metformin with improved egg quality regardless of IR or PCOS. I have been taking it for 12 months.
Hi all!
Vic: good luck! Hope your lil embies behave themselves and stick like super glue, growing into beautiful little ones for you to cherish!
Jo: so sorry to gear about your news!
Wish&dream: good luck with this cycle! Hoe it all works like magic for you!!!
AFM- I'm 3 days past finishing my 7 day cycle of Provera and AF still hasn't shown up... I'm so anxious about her arrival!!! I just want to start my injections already!!! DH keeps asking me when we can start them (I think he thinks I'm gonna let him jab me :$) and so first thing Monday I will be on the phone to my FS to find out when I should start them... I just wish all our bodies worked the way they were supposed too!!!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!!
Hi blossom i use metformin for my insulin levels and it can apparently shrink cysts on the ovaries and therefore help regulate cycles.and for my weight gain.hope all our info has helped.
