@Alexis7890 big big hugs I feel your pain! So how much have they put you on now? They have me on 75 of this new one but I’m like come on guys what’s the point in that! If I’ve bot responded to 150 menopur then I’m not going to react to measly 75iu ovaleap x

Alexis7890 · 12/12/2022 10:04

Morning, I have had no growth either so increasing the dose and go back Wednesday as well to see if it made a difference. Feeling very deflated about it all now x

Melpainter · 12/12/2022 09:53

morning ladies, no growth at all… so we’ve switched meds to ovaleap and scan again Wednesday if no response by wed then we have to abandon this cycle x

Alexis7890 · 11/12/2022 12:42

@Dachshund1 hope the next 7 days goes fast for you!!

@Melpainter oh no do yours not come in the pre filled pens? It was great fun, I live just north of Bristol so Birmingham is around an hour and a half away, we have had some snow here today as well 😊 hoping we both have a big follicle tomorrow ready to be triggered!!

Melpainter · 11/12/2022 12:23

@Dachshund1 has the line stayed the same strength? I really really hope it stays strong for you! I had to put together the injection today and the vile broke and cut my finger 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I really think they should give us these meds already made up! Having to mix it and extract from one vile to another is ok until it goes wrong like for me today! I’ve had a hideous headache since they increased the dose hoping the benefits will show a big fat follicle tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞
@Alexis7890 that sounds so much fun, we are not too far from Birmingham, we live in Northamptonshire, it’s started snowing here today feels very festive xxx

I’m impatient too. Because I’ve had letrozole fail repeatedly I’m trying to not get myself in the headspace that this is going to fail as well. I want it to grow now and get moving haha

aww nice! I was in Birmingham last night reliving my youth watching Blue and had a great time. Tired today! Local Xmas market today and putting off starting the present wrapping

Melpainter · 10/12/2022 14:57

@Alexis7890 no growth at all in three days it stayed at 11mm have another scan Monday hoping the 150 will kick in like @Dachshund1 said they prob doing same as her clinic slow and steady I’m just impatient lol
we celebrated our 1st miracles 8th birthday today at a pottery painting place and then did a walking bus to gallones ice cream factory had loads of sugar filled hyper kids to hand back to their parents lol
how about you girls x

Alexis7890 · 10/12/2022 12:12

@Melpainter i feel the same, they won’t increase my dose because of the risk of more than 1 follicle growing but I would rather have 2 or 3 grow than this! Had yours grown at all? Mine had grown 2mm in 3 days and she said they want around 2mm growth per day so not growing properly.

@Dachshund1 you never know hopefully a Christmas surprise!

yes see pregnant women everywhere or baby announcements all over the place, it sucks! Hope you both have nice weekend plans xx

Yes I find one of my nurses is a lot more experienced and I think the other maybe not so much she just has a quick check and put the door , yes I do see alot of pregnant woman I think I've seen 3 or 4 over this past month I never kinda notice are u seeing the same xxxxx

@Dachshund1 i understand wanting to take a break the highs and lows are exhausting. I did think the nurse didn’t do a thorough look she was very gentle today and with my last clinic the male scanner was like right in there measuring everything I felt rather tender after lol but at least I knew he checked everything!
also why is it that everywhere you look there are pregnant women or new borns under your nose?

They didn't increase me I had a scan every 2 days and how I managed to ovualate in-between them scans is beyond me , my folicle was stubborn as well as I have pcos too I over stim aswell so basically when for another scan and the doctor looked at my files then made me come in the same day and injected me with 60mg of ovetrelle and 2 days later anothe 60mg and then Monday I had to take another 60mg , I was anoyed that with the scans every 2nd day they would or should have picked this up so really I'm just waiting the 2 weeks and Gona see wot happens mind u I don't no if I'm hopeful this time as I have never heard of it being done this way and IV been on medicated cycles for well over a year xxxxxx fingers crossed for you both tho xxxxx

Thanks ladies, I’ve got to keep injecting 150iui menopur and back on Monday morning for a scan and same as @Alexis7890 if there has been decent growth then hopefully trigger. I can’t understand why there has been no growth on an increased dosage ok I suppose it has been two days since last scan. I asked the nurse why and she said it’s sometimes what happens with pcos the follicles can be stubborn to grow she said they won’t give me a higher dosage incase I over stim well it’s would be good to have some stimulation stupid follicles! my only side effects on menopur now is dizziness and frequent nose bleeds oh and maybe the emotional factor I seem to cry every day
@Alexis7890 what else can we do to encourage the follicles to grow, if like to think a cold wouldn’t have an effect but our bodies are a law unto themselves
@Dachshund1 they did say a thick lining usually means a follicle is due to follow so I don’t think the will give me progesterone, how much did they increase your dose when you weren’t responding x

Melpainter on 60 micrograms I'm nearly sure the same happened to me this month I wasn't growing , if your lining has thickened wot kinda of drugs are they going to priscribe you ? have they said anything ? Sometimes slow and steady as clinic only want only so many folicles maybe they never have u the right doesage of stimulation? Alexis that's great keep injecting seems to be growing at a nice steady pace xxxxx every cycle is different melpainter honestly same has happened to me this month don't loose hope xxxxxxx

Alexis7890 · 09/12/2022 10:07

Hi ladies just back from my scan, only grown from 13 to 15mm so got to keep on injecting and go back Monday and hope to trigger then. Wondering if it all slowed down as I got this cold.

@Melpainter have you got to keep injecting and go back in a few days?

Melpainter · 09/12/2022 08:35

Was it the same trigger dose? Just had scan no follicles have grown but my lining has thickened they want me to buy more drugs… devastated 😪

OP posts:
Melpainter · 09/12/2022 07:46

I did last cycle they havnt said anything about this cycle
on way for scan I’m going to predict the results I bet it’s now 14mm and they tell me to keep injecting until scan Monday x

Alexis7890 · 08/12/2022 13:55

@Dachshund1 you never know!!
@Melpainter i don’t know, they said alternate but now I know my biggest follicle is on the left I keep doing it more on the left but I don’t know if it makes any difference! This is probably the most I have ever rested when I’ve had a cold to try to get over it as quickly as possible to be better by tomorrow for the trigger over the weekend! Have either of you been given pessaries for after the trigger?

Melpainter · 08/12/2022 12:56

2WW goes so slowly! I’ve just done my second 150 menopur shot and it’s stung a tad this time do you know if it’s ok to inject on the same side of the tummy or if I should be alternating my left side is starting to get sore lol x

Girls it is expensive, I'm glad IV no more to pay for this month my savings have went down dramatically aswell but I don't think IV conceived this month because to the way they missed my ovulation and administered my ovetrelle in 60mg doses I'm 4 days into 2 week wait I will definitely pray and hope we get our little miracles ❤️❤️

Melpainter · 07/12/2022 17:30

lots of vit c hopefully it’s just a sniffle as it’s gotten really cold recently!
@Dachshund1 hows the tww going? I’m praying for all of us! X

Alexis7890 · 07/12/2022 16:11

Ahh @Melpainter thats fab!! Eeek we both find out Friday and maybe trigger then as well!! It’s so good we are all around the same stage and times!! I feel like I’m getting a cold so I’m hoping that doesn’t throw anything off xx
