Questions regarding your treatment

[briggsy's girl]

i used last pregnyl shot on the thurs, tested it out of my system by the sunday, started getting BFP's on the monday

i would suggest you test it out of your system - if you get a positive, take it with a grain of salt, test again next day - if it's darker, it's a good sign, lighter or gone, means the positive was from the pregnyl (does that make sense)

thanks bg. it's just so hard as i usually have a natural cycle and i want to do a test early but don't want to get a negative result. thanks again. will try the testing out theory.

I hope this is the right place to post; I have an IVF question.

I started puregon on Friday and will have a BT on Wednesday (after 5 injections), just wondering if anyone knows when EPU will be? I am supposed to go away the long weekend, but am thinking I should cancel?

Any ideas?

Hi sandygirl,

I had 12 days of puregon, one day with no drugs and next day EPU. So 14 days after I started the injections. I think it can also depend on how your follicles are looking. It can be a little earlier. You will definately find out on your next scan.
Hope it helped.

Sandygirl,

I had 10 days of Puregon, 1 day no Puregon then next day EPU. For me it was affected by the long weekend in WA so I had to have EPU on Friday. My clinic didn't get theatre time again until Wednesday so I couldn't hold off that long!

Depends on your clinic but you may have EPU on the Monday of the long weekend or a day or two after that. You'll also have to factor in taking your trigger shot ~36 hours before EPU (so if you don't have a trigger already make sure you get one from your clinic on Wednesday).

Thanks esperan and Mrs P, very helpful.
Roughly that would make BT wed, US Friday and probably another US on the weekend with trigger then too. I guess I will stay in sydney then. Either way I will find out the process on Wednesday. the puregon is working.

Hi there,

I had a Hyst & Lap performed today and found that my tubes are clear but they are adhered to my ovaries, meaning a natural BFP is unlikely. Not impossible - just really challenging.
My FP advised that IVF would be the way to go from here. My head was already spinning as I was in the recovery ward and now I just have so many questions.

I am eager to start as soon as possible but wondered if anyone could advise how long you are on the meds before you need to be going in for the blood tests and ultrasounds?

We have a holiday planned to NZ in early July which I would gladly cancel but perhaps there is no need if the monitoring hasn't begun?

Also, I am unsure how long after the hyst & lap they would wait before IVF?

I am brand new to BB so please let me know if I should be posting elsewhere!

TIA
