Your new protocol sounds good Emerald! I would highly recommend being a couch potato for a couple of days (3 if you can manage) after your transfer. I did that in all my cycles (except in the last two as I already had DS and he's very active) and it's worked so far. In the last two cycles where I haven't been able to rest properly because of DS I still got one BFP (although that turned into a m/c ). As for the DHEA, I was really keen to try it, as at my age now (42) I think I need to throw absolutely anything and everything into it to get me that one or two good embryo/s. I mentioned it to my FS but I guess they all have different views on it, and his personal one is that he does not see much improvement on it. I have however read so many positive stories about it here on belly, so I thought it would be good to try. Perhaps knowing my history, my FS doesn't think I need it or it just wouldn't work for me? Dunno hun, but my gorgeous friends here on belly (especcially n2l) told me about CoQ10 and I've now been taking 600 mg per day for the last 2 months so hopefully that will improve my eggs somewhat. Anyway, good luck with your new protocol hun, I think you have a really good plan of action there!
KritKrit good luck for today hun!! I hope you'll end up with some nice blasties . And boo hoo for your hubby being a douche, men!!!
Can I just add you really need to be on DHEA for a minimum of three, but preferably four months before a for it to have any effect. Your eggs are "recruited" to be ovulated three months before they are actually ovulated, so if you stim next month, for example, it is using eggs selected by your body two months ago.
so, none of my embies made it to blasty. I can't say I am not surprised. I am more than expecting the day three I had put back not to work.
I don't know what to do now, as we probably wont be able to afford a stim cycle, and given my result is it worth it? 11 eggs - ohss and only one viable day 3?? (maybe?) Our clinic was great this time and allowed us to pay 5k deposit and claim the rest from medicare before paying the difference. But nothing says they will allow us to do that again, not to mention I still have to find 5k.
Aww bugger Krikkit (sorry I've been misspelling your name )! That's what happens to me now, they don't make it to day 5 in good shape Praying your day 3 embie goes the distance xoxox
I am so sorry Kritkit. I too will be praying your embie sticks and grows. I hate how expensive it is for us. And how it comes down to money constantly.
Hi to everyone else. There are so many of us in here at the moment its hard to keep up.
AFM - My transfer is scheduled for Friday 11.30am. I am so excited to have them back in me and to be at least PUPO for 2 weeks. I miss being pg. It feels strange not to be on any medication. Even though I have had BT daily since last Monday its been by far the easiest cycle so far. FX its my last. So since I ovulated on Sunday 16th does that mean I will get AF on Monday 1st October if not pg? It feels weird that I will only have to wait just over a week to know if its worked. Usually I am on pessaries and that stops AF from arriving, but since not on them I guess it will come by itself. On another note I got engaged on a long weekend camping and we are camping October long weekend. Would be lovely to POAS while away and be positive. Either that or AF will arrive Monday of the long weekend. Ugh camping and AF. Lucky we come home that day.
Juniper can you please move me to waiting to transfer. Thanks Hun xxx
Thanks Vic - things are looking up, my results have just come in oestrogen is 4704 and progesterone is 268. Also, no pessaries this cycle which is really STRANGE!
I didnt know that if your not on pessaries that AF just arrives? totall clueless... good luck for friday!
Krikkit, the CoQ10 is to help with egg quality, so it's too late for this cycle. It takes 4 months to get the full benefit, so you'd start taking it now for a January cycle. The cycles in between will receive less benefit, but still some.

Hi Emerald Star i use all of the ingredients you are looking at!
I havent had a BFP and dont know if any of it helps but since i upped my DHEA from 50 to 100mg and take CoQ10 600mg my egg quality has gotten better definately still havent got me pregnant but i feel like its getting better each cycle.
I have used Saizen which is very expensive but i too have decided to do it all. Also Luveris but that was free with my clinic.
I think the combination of everything has helped but hard to say???
I have been on the DHEA and Coq10 for 6 months at that strength and personally i think it is that that has made the most difference!
The Saizen just gives it a bit of a boost and not too sure what the Luveris does actually i just get it with my cycle.
Good luck
