Hi ladies I thought I'd create this thread to support anyone doing ivf in May 2024, it's great to have other people to talk to going ture the same thing!
My background I'm 31 with low AMH of 3, suffering from secondary infertility 2.5 years ttc had a failed IVF cycle in February where my 4 mature eggs just failed to fertilized so we have been advised to do ICSI for our next cycle! I decided to give my body a break and get back into end of April/may depending on how my cycle returns:)

Yes feeling great all my medication arrived the other day so all prepped and ready to go, you have to get your own meds I. The UK they are around 1k this time from advice I managed to get them from India and 1/3 of the price, the rest that you need after transfer you can buy in TRNC and is super cheap

Thanks @camelinastorm! Hope you're feeling ok about your upcoming stims. Good luck to you too x

camelinastorm · 03/07/2024 10:38

@Lcm11 ohh exciting times, I'm unfortunately having to start from fresh, so will be starting on August 1st due to clinic requesting one full cycle between, good luck for your FET

Lcm11 · 03/07/2024 08:56

Hi ladies, I'm on CD1 which means I can finally start my FET! Has anyone else got a FET soon? Xx

Lcm11 · 22/06/2024 10:06

I'm still here, haven't posted in a while as I've been between cycles but should be starting my FET soon. So sorry to the ladies who didn't get their BFP last cycle. Hopefully July is the one.

@hopefullsosbry huge congratulations!! Hope you're doing ok. X

Ilovebees · 22/06/2024 09:39

@hopefullsosbry hey ! How’s things going with your pregnancy ? All good so far ? How many weeks are you ?

Ilovebees · 22/06/2024 09:38

@ESWill yes we are still here ! You can talk to us but most of us are waiting to start a new ivf cycle very soon xx

camelinastorm · 21/06/2024 08:49

@ESWill I've finished but am still around

ESWill · 21/06/2024 01:10

Hi all - is there anyone on here still in an ivf cycle I can talk to? Thanks!

camelinastorm · 14/06/2024 17:43

My very first cycle was totally done on my cycle

camelinastorm · 14/06/2024 17:43

Mmm so am I long protocol, I have the pill for 3 weeks to then ensure the cycle is timed when they want ?? I'm so lost 🤣 sorry

BakinABaby · 14/06/2024 17:38

@camelinastorm long protocol is with down regulation, short without. I thinks that is the general gist of it, there are some nuances I think. I've also heard the long one being called agonist and short antagonist protocol. Last time I was on the long one.

camelinastorm · 14/06/2024 17:25

@BakinABaby aww that would be nice 🙂
I may sound ill knowledgeable but what's the difference in long and short

BakinABaby · 14/06/2024 17:08

@camelinastorm oh if things go as I think they will, we might be stimming at the same time. Although they might opt to do a long cycle again, so never know.

BakinABaby · 14/06/2024 17:06

@Ilovebees It's not FET, I have no frozen embryos. It's a planning meeting for next cycle of IVF which would happen first viable cycle from then I'm assuming. It's end of July because the clinic has a collective summer holiday before and they simply won't be working :D.

Ilovebees · 14/06/2024 14:05

@camelinastorm oh yes I’m glad your happier now knowing it’s surely enough time for the medicine to get into your body ! Xxx you’re starting so soon , how exiting ! Xx

camelinastorm · 13/06/2024 23:13

@Ilovebees hi so it will be a fresh collection so due to start new stims on the 2nd of August they need to put me on the pill from the 10th July to ensure timing is correct, oh it's good to hear you were only on for short while, that's reassuring I just assumed it would take a while to 'get into my system ' and ensure cycle start on the correct day, thanks I feel a lot better now

Ilovebees · 13/06/2024 22:32

@camelinastorm hey , I have never been on the pill or norethisterone for that long , max 7-10 days . Why are they putting you on it for so long ? I guess they are professionals so they know what they are doing so I would fully trust them . Do you mean 7 weeks until your FET ? Are you having the trasfer in 7 weeks from now ? X

camelinastorm · 13/06/2024 16:26

Hi all little bit of advice needed so 7 weeks until my next round my clinic is going to plan to put me on the pill for 1 month or have norethisterone to delay the next period (10 July) until the 1st of August has anyone had experience with this ?

Ilovebees · 13/06/2024 08:29

@BakinABaby yes at least the months don’t go to complete waste do they , at least you can still try in between which is good ! I know it’s probably going to not work anyways ( that’s why we do ivf 😁) but worth a shot isn’t it .
I don’t know my FET date yet , I think I’ll find this out once I ring back next month with the first day of period . But my guess is that it’s going to be around 11 weeks from now .
4 weeks until my next period
then I think 3 weeks into my next period and I start notethisterone tablets for a week ( so another 4 week there )
then wait for period again and trasfer 3 weeks into that cycle ( so 11 weeks all together )
I remember roughly from my last FET that it took about 11 weeks . So Neally 3 months from now . I find it goes pretty quick because you’re not waiting for something immediate . I think my FET will be end of August .
@BakinABaby whTs your appointment for ? Is it follow up consultation ? Or to start FET? Why is the wait time so long for you for your appoitment ? Mine is only 1 month and I can start from my next period .

BakinABaby · 12/06/2024 23:40

I got an email back from my doctor and I have an appt booked for the 30th of July. If my cycles hold true that should be just a few days before the period from the next one and that leaves us two cycles to try on our own in between. Despite our shoddy record, I’m gonna eff the shh out of my husband and hope for the best, especially since we’ve been on the dry for about a month now given the IVF and progesterone gel gunk.

When’s your next FET @Ilovebees do you know already?

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 21:12

camelinastorm · 12/06/2024 17:39

@BakinABaby and @Ilovebees so sorry for you both, mine was also negative, no frosties we are going again in August we said this time was our last ( we were due a new kitchen fitted, hubby says who needs a new kitchen let's go again, now it's the mission again to order medication that isn't needing a bank loan 🤣

Sorry to hear it’s a negative this time .. it’s a horrible feeling, wishing you all the best for the future 💖✨🤞🏽🙏

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 21:10

Ilovebees · 12/06/2024 11:33

@hopefullsosbry wow congrats to you , well done , yay ! You do deserve it so much!
@BakinABaby aww nooo , how did you period start already ? Was you stil on progesterone and it still started ? X
well i guess me and bakinababy will have to go through it again :(

best of luck to you @hopefullsosbry wishing you the healthiest of pregnancies xxxx

Thanks you so much for your kind words .💖🥰. I know am not out the woods yet .. had 5 positives with 5 losses, so I feel I can’t celebrate just yet🙄 .. still so many hurdles to go past .. ivf is such a rollercoaster road so 1 step at a time I guess and this time I have passed this corner .. still a few corners to pass .. wishing you all the best for your FET .. am sure it will come around in no time .. would be lovely to keep in touch on the chat as you say and see how we all get on 🤞🏽✨🩷🙏

camelinastorm · 12/06/2024 20:56

@Ilovebees yes the money for the new kitchen is being thrown into this, we will be doing fresh again,we will be transferring three (if we get 3) at the same time scary literally all our eggs (embryos) in one basket 🤣
Throughout this journey I have been on I am still shocked to this day how low the success rates are, in this day and age I do not understand how when it's places in the correct place it doesn't work. And the cost is just eye watering

So you know when you will be having your transfer

Ilovebees · 12/06/2024 20:18

@camelinastorm did I get it right that your was going to get a new kitchen but because your cycle failed , you using this money on new cycle instead and kitchen waits for another time 😁?
