Porsche - it sucks when you think something is on track and the track detours. I also had an incident when i was doing FSH OI. 5 months went well and they monitored me by US, but on the 6 month they told me no dominant follicle and then did a BT and found out I was about to O. I have no idea where the follicle came from. I wonder if they can see everything in there, after all our ovaries are 3D. My naturopath said it's not the first story like this she has heard. Needless to say I was extremely anxious that I would ovulate prior to EPU but it all went okay.
Just remember that there are a number of different IVF cycles and different doses of drugs and types of drugs that basically do the same thing. If something hasn't worked they will probably just try something different. It doesn't work it doesn't mean something else won't work. They are just learning how your body responds at this point. I know that this doesn't take away your stress.
WMM - I think it is a huge mental thing to begin doing injections. You know what, I can't do them myself I have to get DP or another friend who's a nurse to do them for me. It took a full 30 mins for me to allow DP to give me my first injection as I was scared of a home injection by someone who was inexperienced - I'm the sissy.
Justina - crossing my fingers for you
Hi to all the other ladies, hope you are all doing well.
AFM: got some bleeding today so I think AF will be here in a day or so. I will do a FET in July.
Havent been on for a few days, but have been lurking, been trying to decide what to do!
We've decided to forgo the Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening path for now (mainly because of the expense, $9300 upfront!, and from what ive read on the net about chromosome testing not necessarily being that accurate as they only test about 8 chromosomes...and apparently something like almost 90% of all embryos have some form of chromsome abnormality, yet they can still go on to be a healthy baby).....so jurys out for me on that for now....anyone here gone down that path?
DH and I eventually, after what seemed like ages of indecision, but what was probably only a few days decided to go with another FET cycle, rather than another EPU. FS in going to put me on HRT with Colorado Protocol.....i'll be on proginova, aspirin, clexane, augmentum, prednisolone and the pessaries! yay these are all new to me....except the aspirin.
Also going to give the accupuncture a go with IVF Support in East Vic Park - anyone tried them?
Waiting for AF so i can start - probably not for another 3 weeks......going to tassie for a holiday next weekend for 10 days, so hopefully time will fly.
Porchse - hahaha dildo cam....thats gold! On the follicle front - im assuming no DOMINANT follicles means you still have one or two in there? a friend of mine only got 1 embie (from one lonely folli) on her last ivf/icsi cycle - that little emby is now a 3 month old little boy. So don't be too discouraged. Our bodies all react differently to the drugs. I like to think that all the good stuff went into the one folly and that gave it the best change of survival! On the O front, Syneral stops ovulation (i think) and you have the trigger to O when they want you too (so you stop the syneral after youve taken the trigger)...that way they can work out exactly when to do EPU, so that when they do the follicles are mature. Thats what they did for me anyway (i think!)
K78 - ive got a few prices on pessaries in the perth area...im at hollywood and was advised not to get them from the pharmacy there....
Hollywood $83/bottle of 15 - $5.53 per tablet - RIP OFF!!
Leederville $3/tablet
Floreat $2.65/tablet, but only $2.10 if you get 100 tablets
Spearwood $2.30/tablet
hope that helps!
Lairdoz - thats AWESOME news, goodluck!
Mummawannabe - it sounds like you must have more 'normal size' follicles underlying the 'huge' ones. I'd say they'd want to focus on maturing those ones so that you get more at harvest. Not sure if the others would be overmature by then?? I know that with my last EPU I had something like 18 follicles, with a few of those much bigger than the others, and they only took 12 out.
Good luck to those in the TWW

I hear what you are saying in regards to the drugs side of things and i anticipate a number of changes as we go along but this is my 4th day on synarel. I have PCO and it is know that your can get a LH surge and not O. Would the FS have no idea if there were any follicles there at all? It doesn't matter I suppose we didn't BD last night anyway. It's hard to get in the mood when you are confused about what the heck is going on. I half expected a temp rise this morning but it hasn't come so I know i havent O'd like he said I was going to. I do have EWCM this morning though but I've been having that on and off since CD12. He said that i would need another blood test but didn't say come in and have one or anything.
If this is how everyone is treated at this clinic then it's a wonder any of his patients get UTD at all.
Hi ladies can i crash in i have been lurking and saw the post from mummawannabe about having two big follies on day 8 i am on day 3 and day 1 of puregon after a bit of a scare yesterday i had my day 2 BT and my FSH was 8 YIPEEE! but my E2 was 359 so they did an u/s and i had a 18mm follie and lots of smaller ones they are going to ignore the big one as they seem to think i always have a dominat follicle on my right ovary as every scan the right ovary is always full of follicles and has a big one so they are hoping the big one just plots along and they are going to consentrate on all the smaller ones i am also a little worried about my E2 as last cycle i started off with E2 around the 200 area and it ended up at 16,400 on the day of trigger so this time it will proberbly go higher i did not have any signs of OHSS but it is in the back of my mind.
Any thoughts or comments would help and has anyone had high E2 on day 2 or had a dominant follicle and continued to stim what was the outcome?

and lots of smaller ones they are going to ignore the big one as they seem to think i always have a dominat follicle on my right ovary as every scan the right ovary is always full of follicles and has a big one so they are hoping the big one just plots along and they are going to consentrate on all the smaller ones i am also a little worried about my E2 as last cycle i started off with E2 around the 200 area and it ended up at 16,400 on the day of trigger so this time it will proberbly go higher i did not have any signs of OHSS but it is in the back of my mind.
