A lovely new Fred for us This one will be full of fun and BFP's....well, it better be!!

Looks like they are not waiting around for a blood test result and are upping my Gonal f to 112.5iu and my Progynova to 6mg. Come on slowvaries!

Should have added and that I have spent £50 on a blood test for nada.

Hello all!

I've been taking a break from the thread - after 3 cycles in 8 months I needed it! I've thrown myself into work, forgotten all about folic acid and had a lovely time. I'm very glad to see their have been successes in my absence - congrats to all those with BFPs. It's always encouraging to be reminded that although the process is pretty crappy, it can and does work.

We are about to get back on the IVF train. We're doing one last cycle at our existing clinic (with drugs this time rather than natural) and if that doesn't work, will we move to another clinic next year, have loads of extra tests (we've already had a consultation with them and they have recommended a raft of tests we could have done) and throw everything at one last cycle before giving up. So I'll be having the scratch in November and cycling in December, which means I don't fit within the thread title, but I will be popping a bit while I wait for my next cycle to start.

Hurrah, a kerazy buddy! (The stimming drugs don't tend to make me too loopy though, it was the Burserelin that did that).

Ooh good luck brook!

welcome back euro. i'm not ivfing in Nov either. in fact I'm wondering if we'll be doing it in dec. am waiting to get info from immunologist about what blood tests I need to have.

Welcome back euro choo choo jump on board!

Hi all. Well that trigger injection bloody well hurt!! But over and done with now and I have the delight of not having to stab myself with anything tonight woohoo!! .
Thanks brooker and llw for ur message of luck. My appt is 10.30 tomo so keep everything crossed that they get my very precious eggs out with no problems.
Keep us posted brooker on what clinic says, hope u can trigger tonight, fingers crossed x

Forgot to mention that my clinic were selling homemade cakes (made by the staff!) this morning in aid of fertility awareness week. I am obviously supporting the cause.... nom nom

Or even infertility
iwant well done with the trigger. I'm hoping mine isn't too late at night as last time it was midnight! I'm normally in bed by 10 these days. The thought of no more stabbing is pure bliss - enjoy! Have you started with the pessaries yet?
no offence but hope you're not back in here for long mrs. x
Will catch up properly later when I update

Not started on pessaries yet - that delightful joy is still to come!! .

Want, all the best with operation precious egg.

Mitten, come join me. The first jab is a bit strange but my second one was better. I had many 'what am I doing' moments.

Brooker, sounds like lots of eggs, yay! I have been ttc bang on three years. It's been a ropey journey. I was misdiagnosed with a fibroid, had major unnecessary surgery with an fsh 9.5 question mark that became 10.2 in March that became devastatingly low antral follicle count of 2 last month with one ovary looking non viable . I've been given very low chances of ivf success but advised to try it by my clinic on the outside chance that aggressive drugs might yield a couple of eggs. Feels like a bit of a train wreck story but here I am. I have found no stories of anyone like me having had successful treatment. But trying to stay cheerful! I'll move on to donor egg quite quickly if it all transpire to be a pointless endeavour.

I hate all you stab free ladies! I am dreading my trigger as that means I will start the Gestone :(

Hi ladies
Just wondering if I can join you? I started stimming on gonal f this morning with ec provisionally booked for a week on Monday.
I'm lucky and have 2 dc already, one from iui and the other from icsi. Over the summer we had 2 failed frozen transfers but feeling more hopeful at the start of this cycle.
I'll go back and read some of the thread history now!

Just popping in quickly to say wont be starting this month.
Bastard cyst is still there.
It's shrunk and is now only 3cm but they won't carry on until it's gone. The nurse said the expected next month it would be gone altogether but I may have to wait until January because of christmas - the clinic is shut for a week.

Oh bums mittens. I'm sorry, delays and waiting is poo. But a glass of wine at Christmas is a lovely thing

Oh, crap Mittens - it feels like a lifetime right now but you'll get there.

Hi owl - good luck!! I admire doing this for DC3. I have a DS as a result of my first IVF but after a failed FET and a successful one but MMC I think I only have one more (successful!) go left in me.

Welcomeowl I hope this is another successful journey for you .
So sorry to hear about ur crappy story so far rabbit. I'm keeping everything crossed for u that this is successful for u, I think I have to try it, give it a go, u never know! x

Evening all!
val hope your slowvaries respond to the increased dose Mine was started at the maximum dose on cycle 1 due to my age & only having one ovary. As I responded ok, they haven't changed it.
euro are you trying SP this time? After my experience on the buserelin I can totally agree that the drug is fucking evil!
Btw bugs euro I haven't paid much attention to the thread titles & just stuck around when not cycling
Thanks llw is it sinking in yet?
iwant will be thinking of you tomorrow. Good luck
rabbit what a tough time you've had I am a strong advocate of having a PMA and even if I don't succeed in having a child, I will not allow it to ruin my life. I have a lot to be grateful for Well done with the stabbing-it definitely gets easier.
Welcome owl. Sorry to hear about the failed FETs this year but how wonderful that you been successful twice!
mittens How frustrating for you it might give you time to come to terms with the process - ? Keep talking to us x

Well I trigger tonight at 10.15! I'm actually feeling quite excited at the minute, it feels real all of a sudden. Last injection for me tonight. Sorry val. Give me the bum bullets any day

brooker well done on triggering, so pleased for you .

Good luck Iwant. Keep reminding yourself that it does only take one.

Good luck to you too brooker! I'm cheering you on from over here.

Waves to everyone else. Soz for no personals, brain overloading, going to bed now.

Good luck Brooks tonight and everyone on your exciting journeys! PMA is so important so I shall be willing you on from the sidelines

As for me, well my lovely, wonderful Dad is sadly now at end stage kidney and heart failure. He's 86 and has had a wonderful life with 5 children and 11 grandchildren (none mine obvs!) and has been married to my mum for 60 years which is pretty incredible. It doesn't make seeing him so poorly in hospital any easier however and as he's based up north and I'm down south we've decided to delay the ivf that was scheduled for November so that I can spend time with my dad and not worry about anything else. So I shall continue lurking but maybe not necessarily inputting for the foreseeable future.

Ps I did make a lovely tuna pasta tonight with a cheesy garlicky sauce and lots of veggies
