MWB ~ thanks hun and GL to you with it all. I reckon we'll only do about 4 or 5 IVF cycle and if still not pg look into adoption. Althouhg I havent had a real good discussion with DH about this.
K78 ~ AND WISHING YOU all the very best, hope you're not in here long and that you move to the pg threads.
Those follies sound really good, 15 is great! All it takes is one too. GL for Friday! Its a bit uncomfotable when the cathetor first goes in but then its fine.
Hi all, hope you're well.
AFM ~ Just waiting for AF so I know my system is back to normal, should be here in a week or so. Not sure my body is a bit out of whack I think.
xoxo
loops: hey chick for once here's hoping af rocks up for you soon. and I really don't think you guys will need to adopt not when you came so close last time.
K78: FX for you chcik welcome to the thread sorry you had to join us in here but hope you time in here is short.
AFM: One more day then I start the nasal spray am starting to get anxious about the needles I'm not good with needles although a million and one blood tests in my life plus 4 tattoo's beg to differ lol.. I'm feeling a little blah today just so tired calving is really knocking me about I think and not having a good matress is starting to take it's toll I think we'll be using the spare bed till we can go out and buy our new one once calving slows down.
hope everyone is having some luck with transfers thawing snow babies or anything else goodluck everyone hopefully we start seeing some bfp's would be nice to have a group of us move into a utd thread
K78 – drink lots of milk and water when doing all the IVF drugs. The water helps flush any excess out your system, and the milk is supposed to absorb any extra hormones. When I did my IFV drugs back in December, I felt surprisingly calm – I expected to be a mess, but someone had suggested I drink 1l of milk a day, which I did, and was so normal it was scary.
Your follicle size sounds good – you also don’t want too many like me – I had 38 (only 11 fertilized) and I was OHSS so couldn’t transfer straight away.
I can’t help you – I was out for the process, but was sore when I woke up – but I think that was just the swelling from so many follicles and OHSS
You are in the right place for support – everyone here is great
Sorry I haven’t caught up with anyone else – I’ve just read this last page. I’ve been a bit absent lately – been trying not to think too much about TTC – Been on a break for a bit and just trying not to think about everything!
But now, I am back. Started taking Proganova tablets and Lucrin Jabs started yesterday. So I am back on the baby making train! Scan is on 24th, and possibly transfer the next week. Very exciting and scary at the same time. I so want this to work, but also don’t want to get my hopes up. I am keeping myself very busy for the next two weeks, cos my DH is putting me on bed/house arrest for 2 weeks once transfer has happened
K78: Your follies sound good! As long as you dont develop OHSS you should feel pretty good after your EPU - maybe a lil tired and tender, but keep up the panadol or pandine forte and you'll be good. Oh and I also drank plenty of fluids + powerades (like they were going out of fashion) and chicken soup for protein as I was obsessed with avoiding OHSS symptoms since I had it with my first IVF cycle.
Loops12: The adoption talk is a tricky one, i bring it up a lot and I think my husband is now starting to understand that for me, not having children in my life, for the rest of my life is not an option, and if i continue to prove infertile its the next and only step, once I've had enough IVF.
Babytruj: Good luck with the up and coming FET, you have plenty in reserve i see - your a lucky lady!
Juniper76: Thanks for sharing your thoughts on taking a break etc - scary thing is - we kinda just did, a week in Vegas after my last miscarriage in FEB....wish we could afford to go again already!
Well we are off to see our FS tomorrow to advise of the BFN and that i dont want to do another cycle until we have some more answers re my egg quality and what can be done to improve it. Think I've mentioned this before on this thread, but anyone been prescribed DHEA or any other drug to improve poor egg quality? Think i may also ask for the test to determine how my egg reserve is...
Well its been a while but just thought I would drop in and see who is still around.
K78 your follies sound great, do beware of the OHSS drink lots of powerade or staminade, electrolytes are so important to help reduce the chances.
Loops IVF is definitely a lengthy process so look into it sooner rather than later.
Babytruj good luck with your fet and stay positive. It was an FET that did it for us.
Trueblue I assume calving means you are on a farm dairy or beef ???
JBM good to see you in here again girl I will be watching you closely
To anyone I missed I apologise. Good luck to you all wherever you are in your treatment and cycle. Remember to take it easy, take a breath and take each day as it comes. Every step is a step forward in the direction that is meant for you, so keep your chins up and smile
K78, EPU = egg pickup (ie egg collection). That looks like a good batch there. Some of the smaller ones might not give you eggs though as they may not mature by Friday. But often there are some hiding (especially when you've got so many), so that may balance them out. I always find EPU is the easiest part of the IVF cycle. I walk in, the anaesthetist puts me to sleep and I wake up in recovery. You can feel a bit achy and crampy after, but it's easily manageable with medication. I just make sure I have some Panadeine Extra at home.
MWB, I didn't mean going away somewhere, I just meant a break from the doctors, tests, etc. It's been over a year now since DH & I went away for a holiday and I desperately need another... With regards to egg quality, my acu had me on CoQ10, which I believe is supposed to help that.
I am a brand newie to this forum but really feel i need people to talk to that are going through the some things, this whole process is really hard on your emotions!!!!
Heres my story, TTC for 3yrs, unknown infertility, except for slightly low sperm count, but shouldn't be causing problems. 1xIUI in november with BFN, on advise from FS and with discussion amongst ourselves decided to try IVF.
Started long protocol cycle mid Feb, had EPU on Mon 12th April, had 15 folicles but only 2 eggs????? Both fertilised clinic does day 2 transfer so went in today for transfer, because of my age they have always said only 1 would be transfered at a time, which turned out to be a good thing as when we got there today we were told 1 wasn't suitable for transfer or freezing due to muliple nuclui (sp?) which would cause abnormalities if it did implant which it prob wouldn't.
So back to the point we had our 1 and only embryo t'fered day2 (only 50hours post EPU) with 2cells and slight fragmentation scientist said bout 15% fragmented which she assures me is fine??
Has any one had 2day 2 cell t'fer success??? and with slight fragmentation???
wow so much is happening in here ATM.
loops: dar AF, we hate her
trueblue: you'll be not that long after me with start sniffing. good luck to you. pray all goes well.
mellybelly: glad OHSS is gone. good luck to you
terry : hi to you
babytruj: good luck for scan on the 24th, not long to go now.
MWB: good luck to you as well
KT8: welcome to our crazy group, or maybe thats just me . ha ha
acupuncture will help you to relax. good luck for EPU ( egg pick up ) on friday. theres somewhere on BB where you can find out about all the abbreviations, thats what i did when i joined. i printed them out and used to have to check them ALL the time to know what everyone was talking about. i get most of them now.
all i can say about your egg collection is to take time to rest afterwards. don't rush to go out for long walks or anything, just rest and you'll be fine. i wasn't in any pain afterwards. but just did too much and it was a bit too much for my body.
good luck to you. fingers crossed.
AFM: well i have been sniffing for 5 days now and i am feeling fine, thank goodness i do not get headaches from the synarel. scan is on the 19th
DH and i gota have BT on friday.
AND WISHING YOU all the very best, hope you're not in here long and that you move to the pg threads.
