Hi all, I haven't posted in a long time, and being the other "jane" I thought it would confuse people...but I'd like to join in if that's OK with everyone... we are doing our 1st IVF cycle, with blastocyst....I'm on day 12 and looks like Monday, Tues or Wed next week will be egg collection...I'm very, very nervous about the whole thing, and excited at the same time. DH and I have unexplained infertility and after 3 inject cycles, we've decided to bite the bullet and go for it - IVF that is. My prayers are with everyone that we all hit the jackpot this month! I look forward to chatting and getting the wonderful support and advise you all offer. Thanks
Jane - IVF first timer
Hi girls, well to make next week more crazy, not only do we have our first ivf appointment on Tuesday, I just found out I have got a second interview for the job i went for on wednesday, i am meeting with the principal of the school on monday night, have ivf appoint on tuesday and we are booked into crown towers on saturday night for my birthday. Anyway in relation to our first appointment a couple of you mentioned tests, i have had the usual pre pregnancy tests done, rubella, i needed a shot and have since been retested and i am fine, also a pap smear, my dp had a vas revers in december and it seems to have not worked he has had numerous sperm tests since so that is why we have been referred i have not been through a battery of tests, can anyone let me know what tests i may be in for. I have all of tuesday off, which i am looking forward to. Oh well the weekend is nearly here,
Aleida, sounds like we could be going through Ringwood about the same time, will be good to have someone to compare notes with, we are actually seeing the dr at ringwood also
well must go
Shellendo- Although it is not nice that we have to go down the IVF path it is nice to know there are other people out there in the same boat. I am a little bit excited to have things moving closer to our life long dream. I have my nurses appointment on Wed and see the counselor on Thur and I will keep you updated on how things go from there. I hopefully don't have to have many tests done as I have previously gone through a number of tests. I had a levivist done Dec 2004 to check the tubes etc and nothing. So far I have been catagorised as having unexplained infertility. Hopefully we will both find success soon.
Megan - oops .. sorry about the PM I have cleaned out my inbox now, so there should be lots of room lol. As far as I know, I just keep taking the Puregon + Synarel while I wait for my EPU date.
I'm glad you're feeling confident with your Dr now .. I'm sure everything is going to go just fine for you.
Percy - glad to hear that your blood test results were good. I hope all this 'go slow' stuff either results in a bfp, or goes by quickly
Janee - welcome back! Of course you can join in. Wow - so early next week is the big day. I hope you're able to relax a bit over the weekend, so that you're not so nervous anymore.
Shellendo - OMG your week is going to be very busy next week. You won't have time to sit down and think! But seems like lots of good things are happening for you though.
Linda - good luck for your appointments next week
I dropped my Puregon dose today, but my ovaries are still pretty tender though. And I'm booked in for a scan on Monday morning (at 6.40am :eek, so I'm not sure what will happen after that.
This may be TMI, but has anyone else experienced a huuuuuge increase in EWCM while they're using the Puregon? I've never had anything like it ... if I got EWCM like this normally, I'd probably have no need for IVF lol.
Haven't felt much like posting the past few days, very irritable... and want to stay positive if thats at all possible!
Started spotting a bit yesterday and today... sorry if this is tmi but not on the knicker liner only when I wipe? Not sure what that means... also cramping, bloated and feel like crap! Hoping that its not the evil af anouncing an early arrival! Temp is still up so am hopeful that maybe we caught the egg after all
Leis, especially want to wish you all the best for your surgery next Wednesday.
Cherie you can get a huge increase in EWCM with the puregon. Depending on your scan on Mon Bob will either book your EPU or more likely arrange another scan for a couple of days after that. Hope all is going well. The early morning appts are killers aren't they!! And now that it's getting so cold!! this is your cycle Shez xox
