I mean *pray lol

Melpainter · 07/12/2022 15:33

Hey @Alexis7890 the clinic has just called and said the dr would like me to increase to 150!! NOW WE ARE TALKING !! I said when would you expect for me to trigger she said if the increase works then hopefully Friday 🤞🤞🤞🤞park for me 🙏 we could all be testing at the same time maybe Christmas miracles alL round 🥲 I’m so emotional must be the hormones lol xxx

Alexis7890 · 07/12/2022 15:13

@Melpainter it really took me by surprise as I’m used to letrozole monitoring and being repeatedly told no sorry it’s not working so I was very shocked! Have they said to carry on with the same dose? I don’t know how it works but if they think it isn’t growing properly or fast enough don’t they increase it? Everything crossed for Friday for you that it has grown!!xx

Melpainter · 07/12/2022 14:53

Hey ladies @Alexis7890 you have responded really well to the injections congratulations
I had my first scan today cycle day 11 and a follicle measuring 11mm I broke the news that I was injecting every day and the nurse seemed shocked I’d done that without the drs instructions but told me to continue injections every day I had to pay another £288 for more menopur and I got emotional because I don’t get why it’s costs so much money! If they’d just given me a decent dose to start with I wouldn’t have to keep paying for more meds! Nurse said she’d expect to see a follicle slightly bigger than 11mm but I’m to go back on Friday to see if it’s grown anymore. I’m not feeling happy about this cycle already spent over £1k and worried they will tell me to ditch this cycle so next cycle I can take a higher dose but I don’t have another grand to play their games! 😪😪😪

Alexis7890 · 07/12/2022 14:51

I realised if I trigger when they said my tww would end on Xmas day! Ahh how are you feeling? Hope you are doing okay and the tww doesn’t drag too long for you!xx

Dachshund1 · 07/12/2022 14:04

Oh that sounds good 🥰 pray u get trigger for weekend , on medicated cycles it's completely different I think ,I'm on cycle day 30 now and 3 days into the 2 week wait xxxxx🥰

Alexis7890 · 07/12/2022 10:58

Hey how are you both? I had my scan yesterday and have a 13mm follicle so going back Friday and they hope to give me the trigger to do over the weekend! I thought it would take longer as Friday will only be CD10 so will trigger around day 12 which seems like it has grown fast!

Dachshund1 · 06/12/2022 07:16

I am wishing both you lady's all the luck in the world's imagine melpainter thank you so much 13 days from today now ohhhh I'm on the ount down now I hope I didn't miss ovulation:( no no I ended up last week with a full 300pen of gonal it it was used once I really do not like seeing medication being waisted:( u know when u go for your scan ask every question don't let them stretch it out because , sure I let them stretch mine out this month and my folicle basicly ovualated in-between the 2 days that's I had scans that's why I'm confused because I don't think I tried hard enough awwhhh ok so Wednesday that's not to :) u could b on the 2ww sooner, imgaine just before Christmas, it would be a miracle xxxxx

Melpainter · 05/12/2022 22:11

I hope this 2ww goes fast for you and you get your BFP! Did they give you enough meds to get you through the two weeks or did they charge you for extra? I’m just worried come Wednesday they will charge me again we’ll see.
I hope to be joining you in tww but feel they going to stretch this out
@Alexis7890 we seem to be at the same stage in this process just on different meds, wishing you a big fat follicle xx

Dachshund1 · 05/12/2022 18:54

IV been on the 25iu for over 2 weeks wer going slow and steady thi time instead of I always over stim I had appointment nearly every 2 days it's just this ovetrelle shot last 60mg today I took so I'm now in 2 week wait from today xxxxx

OP posts:
Alexis7890 · 05/12/2022 14:28

Did 25 work? How many days did you inject before being able to trigger?

aww no that is expensive!!

Dachshund1 · 05/12/2022 13:33

I just can't find any thing about small shots of trigger every couple of days it's so confusing, oh 50iu is good I was on 25iu oh I no it madness the prices that can charged xxxx

OP posts:
Melpainter · 05/12/2022 13:12

maybe it’s for when follicles get smaller? I’ve never heard of that? I’m almost out of my menopur got enough for one more injection tomorrow, then I get a scan on Wednesday to see if I have any follicles I’m worried they will charge me another £200 for more menopur x

Alexis7890 · 05/12/2022 10:14

I am on 50iu but I think when I see the dr tomorrow he will increase it but he wanted to start as low as possible. Oh I have never heard of a trigger over so long! They must have their reasons for doing it and how it works xx

Dachshund1 · 05/12/2022 09:56

Hey lady's oh your on day 4 that's good how u feeling wot ml are u taking , I'm actually moved onto the trigger shot although I'm not sure why I'm taking ovetrelle trigger shot 60mg on Thursday then another 60mg on Saturday and I have one last one today at around half 2 I'm doing timed intercourse has anyone ever heard of this method??? I usually just take the full trigger shot I'm confused lol and I can not find anything on the internet xxxxxxxx

OP posts:
Alexis7890 · 04/12/2022 22:16

Hey not too bad thanks you? I’m on day 4 of injections and my husband is doing them for me but hates doing it! See the doctor on Tuesday to see how they’re going. How are you?xx

Melpainter · 04/12/2022 21:33

How are we all ladies xx

Dachshund1 · 30/11/2022 16:54

Yes I no I'm taking the gonal small dose every day , I just can't get my head around being 16mm on Monday and on Wednesday today it's went down a 1mm oh I think I'm feeling same as u I'm in 25 everyday and higher dose seems to strong IV to wait on blood test coming tomorrow xxxxxxx

OP posts:
Melpainter · 30/11/2022 14:01

Sending you a big hug! This follicle sounds stubborn, anything been said about you increasing your dose of gonal F until Friday? I’ve read that some women have triggered on 15mm it’s a little small but not out of the question they triggered me last month on 17mm cause it stopped growing ok it didn’t work but at least we got to try..
i spoke to my old clinic today about my new clinics protocol and they said there would be no harm in injecting the menopur every day as it’s a very low dose, so I just did it no pain or stinging.
mines a private clinic we didn’t qualify for NHS I’m still raging about who qualifies and who doesn’t who are they to dictate who should be lucky enough to have a child and who isn’t, we all pay the same taxes! 😡😤 rant over with I think the menopur is giving me some anger issues 🤣

Alexis7890 · 30/11/2022 13:31

Aww no! I had follicles shrink on letrozole. Hopefully you can get it to grow again!! How long have you be stimulating this one? Hope Friday is better for you x

Dachshund1 · 30/11/2022 13:17

Hi sorry I was missing there for a while , wasn't feeling up to messaging tbh , I had a scan on Monday my folicle was 16mm had another today and it's shrunk to 15mm I have to continue gonal f and to be honest I really just feel up to it this month ,is it possible to shrink I'm so confused I have to go back on Friday for another scan this feels litterly the longest time Iv been stimulating a folicle it's just won't budge and the tiredness is just anouing me so much this month xxxxxx

Alexis7890 · 29/11/2022 20:48

I had an ultrasound last week with my consultant and if I was pregnant he would have been able to tell as when I was told letrozole wasn’t working on the last cycle sex kind of stopped as well, nothing kills a sex life like fertility treatment!! Clinic haven’t said much other than try more pills. Aww no that’s rubbish they aren’t helpful, are you nhs or private? Do you have a doctor or just the nurses?

Melpainter · 29/11/2022 19:17

I understand how you feel as soon as your start bleeding you feel a surge of energy like right this is it time to get going on this cycle. Sounds silly but have you done a pregnancy test..? What does the clinic say? I remember years ago I went on one of those vibro gym plates and my period started days later after like a year! 😂 maybe jump about lol see if that gets things moving.
tbh my clinic has given me very little support and information I called to book the scans and bloods but the nurse was like don’t worry about the bloods it’s not necessary (then why put it on my protocol) one nurse said do my own ovulation testing the last nurse I spoke to said don’t bother 🤷‍♀️ None of which could tell me why I’m injecting every other day? I have my scan for next Wednesday I really hope they say I can trigger that day x

Alexis7890 · 29/11/2022 16:10

When I do start injections it’s 50 but every day. Did they explain anything about why every other day? When will they see you for the first scan? Ah that’s great it didn’t sting or anything! I feel okay I just want
to be able to get started, I have never not responded to provera before so I’m getting increasingly annoyed it isn’t working this time, just hope the next couple of days it actually works for me

Melpainter · 29/11/2022 14:07

Hey, I injected first dose today 🥳 I’m so excited about this cycle, they said to do it every other day but I’ve read other peoples posts with similar cycle issues with clomid as mine saying they didn’t respond to 75iu menopur and my clinic want me to do it every other day….I feel like doing it every day!!! 😅 I know they like to go low and slow to start but money isn’t growing on our tree outside so I may just take the initiative!
the injection didn’t hurt at all and no stinging which I’ve read from others has been a side effect, I hope I done it right 🤣!
how do you feel about doing injectables x
