Hi Ladies and happy new year to all. I have started on drug treatment now am on injections of Buserlin day 13, am suprisingly doing ok with the injections though i wont look at the needles and no side effects as yet that i am aware off apart from i have throbbing sinuses but dont know if that is a side effect. A work colleague commented that my boobs looked big today (could that be a side effect who knows). Go back on 22nd to see the fertility nurses to see how to inject the Puregon ......big hug mowmi

sootykalucy I agree with the new (old) name for the group - IVFer's. The other group has been started. Should we rename it? Thoughts anyone?

Spook has started a new thread for us here

Hey ladies, I made my first move to an appointment over here - but the recommended Dr doesn't work Fridays so no date . . . . typical Aussie slacker!

Hey LL charge up that hot water bottle too - though I have to say I had a scare today, a big sting ray (like the one that killed Steve Irwin) was loitering in the surf near me. I had to get all the kiddies out and raise the alarm!

I think this thread will end at 1000 messages, does anyone know how to create a new one? Also perhaps we should go by it's old name - IVFer's - more succint . . . just a suggestion.

Hi everyone, just thought I would post an update, feeling very peculiar, poor old DS, he is a nightmare at the moment and I'm super-weepy. Still bleeding, it's so weird and can't really figure out what's going on.
Unfortunately I didn't get the results from the blood test today, but apparently the nurse will appraise me tomorrow, when I give the second sample.
Probably should go to bed...

Thanks OAP. Watch this space to see if my mood improves!!!
We are nearing the end of this thread...they only take 1000 posts.
I am going to start a new one girls.
I'll call it the same thing Part 2! See you all there.

Bucky, I had a friend withe exact same situation as you - only 3 MCs - and she was given the same advice as you, 6 months on clomid (which can improve egg quality) and then IVF. So it seems to be the way forward for your situation.

Oh didn't mention its unexplained infertility for us as all our tests are fine, so not the Clomid is just to increase the odds!

LondonLottie I have been put on Clomid now by my NHS fertility clinic. If it doesn't work I get a free round of IVF so as its only a few months wait now I will go that route. i am a little concerned though as I have had 2BFPs and 2 MCs in 3 years so I am wondering if, if I do get a BFP it will go to term anyway . Suppose it is best to try for free before spending thousands only for it all to go wrong.

Great to see you still have such a positive attitude. Keep going it will happen I am sure! {hugs}

Sppok - sniffing whilst stimming stops you ovulating prematurely I think. And yes, you are right in that they do counteract each other to a certain extent, but the end result is hopefully the desired one - lots of big follicles that haven't yet matured.

I downregged on the pill this time, so haven't taken anything to down reg since I stopped that on 26 Dec. To make up for that now, I am taking a daily injection of Organalutran which serves the same purpose as the downregging sniffing i.e stops me ovulating now the follicles are getting over 15 mm in diameter.

Once you start stimming your mood should improve <hopefully>. My DH said that I became livable with again once the stims started, whereas I was an argumentative bint before when downregging. Hence I downreg on the pill now, not by sniffing or injecting (to save marriage!)
