TTC for 10 months and the rest. Ten plussers welcome. Thread 2.

Banana! Brilliant news on the follies!! What is your clinics cut off for lining? Mine would be thrilled with 7.2mm!
Someone on another thread has recommended selenium for lining thickness issues, I'm going to give it a go! Xx

I have thrush :(
Do we think that could have delayed ov? X

Lucie amazing news about your follies! Sounds like you should get a fab crop of eggs, and hopefully a couple of lovely blasts for the freezer. Safe travels to Czech and looking forward to more updates!

trixie I also know another lady seeing Dr G for immunes tx alongside her existing clinic. Her clinic do offer intralipids and prednisolone etc, but she has had several failed FETs and wants more thorough investigation. Dr G will leave no stone unturned to help you - certainly was the experience of my friend who’s now 10 weeks.

sammy keeping everything crossed for that temp rise!

BTW I have been taking CoQ10 for egg quality (along with DHEA, melatonin & resveratrol - plus a cocktail of other supplements, I’m bloody rattling), can’t say I’ve noticed any impact at all on my cycle length. If anything they’ve been getting shorter, ov has been creeping forward.

snowberry big hugs, so frustrating and disappointing to be left in limbo

Had my scan this afternoon - I trigger tomorrow, and EC booked for Monday morning.

Cannot believe that with my barely detectable AMH I have 15 follicles!

14 good ones (most @ 18mm, a few @ 16mm, and one big fella @ 20mm), plus one 12mm tiddler.

Consultant is reasonably confident that with 14 decent follies (plus the 6 frozen eggs from last time), that we will have enough embryos to get something to blast.

Lining is looking less spectacular - triple line, but only 7.2mm, so am to start the Progynova tomorrow. He will obv measure the lining on Monday, and then wants to scan me again towards the end of the week. If he’s not happy with it, we’ll have to freeze-all and try to build up the lining in a medicated FET.

Absolutely thrilled with the eggs, though will be gutted if we don’t make it to transfer again - desperately hoping the Progynova works its magic!!

Thinking thickening thoughts!!!

Thank you. I'm on cd26 today but has Hsg this cycle so am just waiting for af to hurry along so I can get cracking again next cycle.

Lucie that's so great!!! As you say, the delay doesn't matter as long as you get some good embies!
I'm going to leave the Q10 I think, I don't want to risk lengthening my cycles really.

Snowberry - sorry for the lack of plan. I know how frustrating it is to be told to go away and keep trying when you have absolutely no faith that that will happen

As for me, my temp was incredibly high this morning, but I'm not 100% convinced as I had very disturbed sleep. Will see what tomorrow brings. Xx

All sounds really positive Lucie, a bit annoying that you may have to delay trigger but like you say, if you get a good batch of eggs it will be completely worth it!

Meant to add re the Cq10, it only lengthened my cycle by 3-5 days so not too bad and I sometimes think maybe I should just take it for the benefits and just accept a slightly longer cycle.

Welcome to the thread Snowberry, sorry to hear about your MCs and that you are having to wait, hopefully you have some good news before you have to go back.

That's interesting trixie... I always had very late OV so probably didn't notice but you absolutely could be right

Snow sorry for the wait. Really hoping you get a sticky bean soon

Sammy hoping for a high temp this morning for you

Good luck Lucie

Sending lots of love to you all.

We saw consultant again on Monday but have been told to give it another 6 months before we go back.

TTC for 22 months
MC at 4 weeks in July and another at 5 weeks in November
HSG all normal but ultrasound and bloods showed I don't ovulate every cycle.

Frustrated and fed up with it all and disappointed to still have no plan.

Hmm that's interesting Trixie, maybe I have ovd today. We'll see what temp does tomorrow! Xx

Sammy, I only took Co enzyme Q 10 (together with a few other supplements) for a little while but I suspect that it caused me to have a long cycle. I had a long cycle recently too when I was taking a Zita West conception supplement which had co enzyme Q 10 in. Loads of people seem to take it without it delaying cycles so thought it was just me.

Good luck for tomorrow Lucie!

Maybe not then! I know I get AF like symptoms when stressed.

I dunno Boris, maybe? Although I've been feeling pretty chilled about things since I got my head round having to wait until end of February for treatment. I've def felt more stressed before and still had af/ov happen on time. Xx

sammy I wonder if a degree of stress about what's going on could also have impacted you?

lucie I have everything crossed for you.

Thank you everyone, I'm sorry I'm being so negative. Tonight opk (bough boots own) is very nearly positive so either I have ovd today or this is another false alarm.

Lucie - wishing you so much luck for tomorrow.

Pikz - I did start taking CoQ10 this cycle. I'm wondering if that is what has delayed ov... Is that possible? Xx

Lucie very exciting to hear about your eggs and banana

Boris a hysteroscopy and hsg were the first things suggested to me but I have a very different history. If it isn't going to make any different then it's a lot of money for nothing.

Sammy you are going to get your baby. I know how frustrating these stupid cycles are. Mine were never ever regular when ttc and I remember on the day of my big surgery af just randomly arrived and they nearly cancelled it. It all felt so very unfair. Are you taking the cq10? My lining was massively improved by that, maca root and reflexology. Remember that you can ovulate 2-3 days after the positive opk, it used to happen to me as I would catch the start of the big surge. Big hugs.

Oh no Sammy, can you pick up some more opks at lunchtime? Of course you are meant to have a baby, we all are, we've just got more challenges to overcome than most. It will be worth it in the end though x x

Like Lucie and Banana say I wouldn't worry about the hsg Boris. I remember my Consultant saying that if there was a significant tubal blockage then you'd likely be able to tell from a scan.

Exciting/terrifying/confusing is a good summary of pre IVF! I remember before starting IVF being absolutely convinced that I would be one of those people who fell pregnant the month before and wouldn't actually have to go through with it. There is so much support on here though and I found the whole process easier than I thought it would be.

Think I got excited too soon. Still no temp rise and it feels like af is going to rock up any second. I'm out of opks so can't even check what's going on there. I'm done with this and my stupid body. Why can't it just do what it's supposed to? I'm starting to think I'm just not meant to have a baby.

Thanks lucie I'm not sure what the consultation involves. I was told before christmas that there was no waiting list for initial consultations so I assumed it was just part of the standard process (as it seems to be with gennet). I'll follow up with them Friday if I don't otherwise hear back. The doctor has my form now so we will see. It's all so exciting/terrifying/confusing.
