TTC Super Ovulation part 3

[Arianrhod]

Hey ladies -

There are a few of us who are ttc after mc's, however there will be ladies out there who are also ttc for the first time or second or third without success. If anyone is on, considering or had success on a super ovulation programme then do join us. How long did it take ? Did you try IUI with it.. ? Did you have PCOS?

Kicking this off and hoping some of you will join....

Ari as you can tell I wasn't fully awake yesterday and yes of course must be £450 an injection! I desperately hope I font need it at that price!!

Belly just want to say how very sorry I am to read your news. Remember we know how devastating it is and are all here for you should you want to talk about it. In the meantime look after yourself and try and plan something nice to do when you are feeling up to it.

Sounds like an interesting book to look into.

Waves to everyone else, I am due to test Saturday and unfortunately my mother on law will be there, guess it will stop me going into meltdown when it is negative....
Duggs when are you due to test?

bellyd I'm so, so sorry you have had to go through this again, and we all know how very hard it is to feel positive when nothing seems to be working. Huge hugs to you, we can hold each other's hands (virtually) and hope that magical number 7 works for us both. This whole process is so damn hard, we just have to keep faith somehow that it's just a matter of catching the right egg. I know faith is hard to come by, especially right now, so let us have the faith for you while you decide what to do next. xx

Cross-posted ... pebbles So we can all keep our fingers/toes/eyes/ears crossed for you for Saturday! :) Are you going to have the TNF-a test then? And know what you mean about the price - why are these treatments so damn expensive?!

Ladies, thank you for all your words of support. Hoping this is your month Pebbles. We went to see Dr Gorgy in between the last mc and this pregnancy. Had all the tests and like Ari my LAD was negative, and also I had the raised TNF alpha. Had to 'fess up to Mr S that we had been and he was NOT happy. He rubbished the LAD test but was interested in the TNF alpha and said now he knew mine was raised we should think about treating it. Brownstag Mr S said to me yesterday that there was evidence that humira helps people conceive through ivf if they have raised tnf alpha but that there isn't any evidence of the role humira or a raised tnf alpha plays in recurrent miscarriage. I can't help thinking they must be linked though but am simply too terrified to take the humira. The only Dr G test we haven't managed to do was the hidden infection one because I could never get a decent enough sample, if I mc naturally do you think I could send off that blood? Sorry if tmi. X

Hi guys - I've been lurking about again, so sorry to hear your news belly it's so frustrating getting pregnant and then every day being a lifetime. I'm so sorry for you.
Could I have some advice, I'm due to test this week, but I'm worried about the ovitrelle. Everyone says different things when it comes to its longevity in our systems. What do you guys do. When do you test? Thank in advance and good luck to anyone else testing this week x

Holldoll I tested from 10dpo and ovitrelle was def still in my system. I then tested each day and started taking pred from day 12po as I still had a bfp. I think the ovitrelle should be out of your system by then. I almost like to track it if you know what I mean. I tested until day my period was due when I got a strong line and then stopped and didn't go with a digi test at all to try and keep the mentalling at bay. I hope that is helpful.

holl I'd echo belly - I've had traces of Ovitrelle in my system still at 10dpo so I don't test now until 12dpo. But I know some ladies that it's out of their system by 10dpo.

Yes it is - thank you. I think it's because I do not want to stay on pred longer than needed. I'm testing it out too, I'm 9dp trigger now and 7 dpo. It adds another level to to being stressful around testing.
Thanks again

Bellyd my heart goes out to you :(
As for me saw mr s who was v pleased as I had good response from gonal f 3 on 1 side, 1 on the other 18, 17, 15,12 so he was pleased :)
He's happy for me to continue it for another 2 cycles but said I'd need a break for a month due to the steroids, does that mean no trying??:(
He also wants me to take the alpha test which I will try arrange near my next scan date I think, 2 birds with one stone. It has to be done in a morning and only at Harley st is that right??
X

belly that should be fine as long as is blood from your uterus then they should be able to test it. pebbles I'm due to test next Wednesday so I'm only a week past trigger injection today!! Yawn.

holldoll, Ovitrelle was out of my system almost instantly. I started testing really early, 8dpo maybe, and never had a false postive. Mel, those were my exact numbers on my last 7.5mg letrozole cycle!
Yawn for me too, Duggs, only 5dpo. Toying with the idea of starting 10mg pred now, but also thinking it will be a waste of time because of the recent primordial sludge situation.
Good luck everyone x

19,16,15 and 11 I got it wrong!x

So ladies I promised I would not start mentalling but I am! I'm 11 days post trigger and 10 dpo. Internet cheap tests have been getting lighter since 6 days post trigger but have stayed the same for last 2 mornings so I did a superdrug one and got a good line. Now I don't know what to think. Is this a true positive or just the ovitrelle and that the superdrug test is better?
Apologies for a me me me post but need some wise words. Thanks in advance x

Crikey holl, I really hope this is it for you! No really wise words here I'm afraid, but if it were me I'd keep testing until 12dpo and if that line is still good I'd swing into action. However, that's because of my own past experience, and that may not be the same for you. Are you due to have intralipids on a BFP? Perhaps it might be worth emailing/calling Louise to get her take on it?

If I don't get a positive this month Ari I will go and get the tnf alpha test done, as I will probably be doing more ivf it seems to make good sense to have it done.

Holldoll sorry answer is a bit late now but I tested one month 12 days after trigger shot and it was still coming up with a very faint positive so everyone seems to be different. Good luck.

Good result Mel you must be really pleased. The tnf alpha does indeed have to be done at Harley St in the morning.

It's always such s long wait isn't it Duggs!

Well wishing everyone good luck, as for me don't feel any different to any other month. Just been to dentist and they wanted to do an x-ray so I said a very small chance I could be pregnant to which the dentist replied how exciting. If only she knew, I did say it was most unlikely!!

No intralipids for me, I will email
Louise but always worried that I'm being mental! It's so frustrating as you all know and not helped by partner who thinks we should give up if the next Cycle fails. Do you guys have any experience of the Internet cheapies? I am tending to believe those. Thank for advice and good luck to you all x x

I only use internet cheapies and have occasionally had some evaporation lines but they were always grey-looking, not blue. I would say it sounds very promising. For me, certainly, a line at 11dpo would be positive. Fingers crossed!
Does anyone find Cyclogest causes cramping? I'm using it this month, and am finding the cramping annoyingly hope-inspiring.

holdoll I would definitely email Louise if I were you. It would seem we are all different in terms of how long the ovitrelle sticks around. Have you been taking Pred from ov? Really hope it's a bfp for you.

Thanks, yes progesterone does make me cramp. It is annoying! Louise has asked me to retest in 2 days. Fingers crossed

Have everything crossed for you Holldoll, hope the next couple of days pass quickly for you.

Brownstag I found the cyclogest gave me cramp and made my boobs really hurt which is defo very annoying.

Well I gave in as usual and poas when I got home from work and have a very feint line. I am 13 days post trigger shot and 12 days post ovulation. Wishing I hadn't done it now as will no doubt be the trigger shot still in my system......

Pebbles Louise said today that by12dpo so 13-14dpt it should be a BFP. Fingers crossed for you too x x

Ooh how exciting fingers crossed xx

Thanks Holldoll very much liking the sound of that but is all pretty border line. Mustn't get hopes up!!

pebbles Hope is the right thing to have!! Fingers firmly crossed :)

Pebbles don't want to get your hopes up but that does look promising - especially as it wasn't first morning wee. Keeping everything crossed for you x
