Hi, new to this forum and kindly inroduced by sleebly.

I am currently on my first cycle of ivf and waiting for BT on the 23rd Dec, with results. I feel pmt at the moment, with lots of cramping, sore breasts and many early morning loo visits. This has been going on & off for two weeks and I think it is either the Crinone gel or AF on the way. Very frustrating! I'm also on Metformin, finally the nausea from that has stopped.

I was diag with "mild poccs" & "mild endo" (apparently both go hand in hand. I'm of normal weight and considered healthy otherwise. Have been ttc for over 2 yrs too long!

The ivf cycle was rather painless. I was straight onto the injections (no pill to start and no nasal spray - just one injection to stop ovulation.) I had a total of 14 eggs collected of which 11 fertilised and 4 were of good quality. This was dissapointing. I have had two transffered and two frozen. Just wondering if 4 embryos is considered normal from a range of 14 to start with?

DH and I pan to give ivf 6 months and if no luck we will take a break and maybe consider it again at a later date. With a 30% success rate who could be confident? If you told me I had 30% chance to live I would probably be planning my funeral.

Hope to hear of some positive vibes as I'm feeling pretty anxious right now 8-[
