Hiya ladies, I've come to join in now
Will be starting my first IVF/ICSI cycle as soon as AF shows up, prob in about 5 days if she plays nice lol
So right now I'm panicking about the cost, reading the stack of info the clinic sent us home with yesterday, and trying to get the schedule of events straight in my head. Wow is it full on or what?!
We are going down this path because DH has very, very little ejaculate, and since having it tested we have found his swimmers are slow.
Bloods also revealed my AMH to be very low for my age, at just 5.4, but ultrasound shows grade A ovaries with plenty of eggs, so the FS is starting straight away with higher doses of the meds hoping that I will respond well.
Assessment cycle went perfectly, I had a lovely egg ovulate at 22mm on day 14, my lining is lovely and thick at 10.5mm on CD24 (today) so all our fingers and toes are crossed that my body responds well to the stimulation and we get some good results
I dunno what the 'normal' dosage range is, or what drugs are 'usually' prescribed to all you ladies, but I am curious as to how mine compare:
Day 2 commence prednisolone
Days 3-6 Gonal F @ 187.5
Day 7 Gonal F and Orgalutran
Days 7-10 bloods and ultrasound with nurse advising of any adjustments to dosages
Pregnyl trigger when advised
possible hormone support (pessaries etc) after transfer, will be advised
Got a Gonal F dvd to watch from the clinic too, hope it's got a good storyline at least
Anyhoo, sticky vibes to all, I look forward to getting to know you all
