Hi ladies, hope you’re well
trixie great stuff to see Dr Gorgy - a friend saw him for immunes tx alongside her NHS cycle @ Hammersmith, she is now 10 weeks, rates him highly. Apparently not the best communicator but knows his stuff! Good luck, from other ladies I know who are also seeing him for tx, you couldn’t really be in better hands
Lucie hope your stims are going well? Ooh, read lots on Dr Sher’s site about his A/ACP, sounds really interesting. Excited for you! If you’ve managed to get blasts from low egg numbers, it sounds like you have really terrific quality.
DHEA is an interesting one, as Dr Sher is vehemently opposed to it, says it absolutely shouldn’t be given to women with DOR (vs the CHR clinic who pioneered it, who say they have great results) Who knows eh?!!!
Good luck for your tracking scan tomorrow 
Boris keeping everything crossed for your HSG and IVF prep, and hope you’re feeling better? And yes, we all end up having to be such advocates for ourselves, I have read I think pretty much every medical abstract on diminished ovarian reserves going - I sometimes think ignorance is bliss as I would worry less, but then again I also think knowledge is power, and it enables us to ask better questions of our doctors. Double edged sword!
sammy woop for OPK!! Amazing news. Chuffed to bits for you! Do keep us posted how you get on with acupuncture. My therapist did an electro-acupuncture treatment designed specifically to increase blood flow and stimulate the endometrial lining - it didn’t do the trick for me, but my issue isn’t blood flow, but does seem to work wonders for loads of women.
BTW can your clinic check your uterine blood flow? My consultant just flicked something on the ultrasound to do a doppler assessment of the uterine artery when I was in earlier, and could see that the blood flow was looking good - might be worth asking, if they’re not already checking it?
Hoping you get that temp spike soon and the dates all work themselves out.
I had my first tracking scan today (day 8) and consultant was ‘over the moon’ with my response (and a little gobsmacked), as I have……drumroll….Only bloody 14 follies !!! 
Absolutely stoked - not too shabby for someone who had an AFC of 5 in September, and AMH of 1.5. And FSH of 17.6 back in July!!
Dr has halved my Gonal-F, and then I’m to drop it again on Thu - next scan is on Friday, he thinks prob trigger Sat and EC Monday.
Lining is ‘fair’ (6.6mm) but he will keep an eye on it - may add in Progynova after Friday’s scan. He checked the blood flow and it was excellent - so it’s definitely an oestrogen thing. By Friday I’ll have been on the Cetrotide for a few days so we should be able to add in the oestrogen without interfering with the follies. Although we don't yet know what impact my high FSH will have had on my egg quality, Dr is hopeful we should have enough embryos (given we also have 6 mature eggs in the freezer to batch together with whatever we get this time) to go to blast. In which case we have a further 5 days of progynova after EC to get the thickness right, so fingers crossed. So, things hopefully heading in the right direction!
Oh, and Dr was also pretty astonished by my spectacularly swollen belly - his eyes nearly fell out of his head. I look 4-5 months pregnant, I am the size of a frigging house (and it is really, really obvious on a size 8 frame). So I think that means I must be pretty bloated if I’m shocking the top fertility Dr with my tummy!!!
