TTC for 10 months and the rest. Ten plussers welcome. Thread 2.

[lucieloos]

We have been so busy chatting I've started a new thread. Welcome all 10+ ladies. Hope we all have some luck on this thread.

Ahh I see thanks banana!

Trixie, I seem to ov late on the first proper cycle after treatment and then it usually goes back to normal.

We so af seems to have arrived early. I must have ovd earlier than I thought due to being very relaxed on holiday or something. Still no baby though clearly.

FET here we come. Will call the clinic to arrange a scan tomorrow. I'm sort of excited, sort of terrified and sort of bored already at the same time. Part of me thinks that after more than 2 years without even a hint of a bfp, and a failed IVF transfer surely there is something more going on in the background. A reason we haven't conceived?

It breaks my heart if I stop to think about dh never being a dad. He would be so amazing. Damn hormones, why do they have to make me feel so sad. Xx

Aww sorry af has arrived Sammy but great that you can get on with your next treatment. I know that mix of emotions well. Keep us posted about your scan dates etc. Try not to dwell on it not working too much. You have a new cycle ahead of you and are trying a different treatment as well so these are all positive things. I know I keep spouting stats but even at your age 1 in 3 blasts won't be viable to make a baby with so hopefully the one you used last time got that out of the way and you will be well on your way to a bfp soon

Oh sammy, you are getting closer to your bfp. Sorry for AF but in excited for you for this cycle.

I've got EWCM and ovulation spotting. Is that right? Feels wrong and too early. I'll email the clinic. Hope they pick it up quickly and tell me what to do.

What day of cycle are you now Boris? Ewcm is normal, it's your estrogen rising from the stimms because you have lots of little eggs growing. I have had some minor spotting as well during stimms. Only a few times when I wiped and it was fine. It's all normal. Doesn't mean you will ov.

Thanks lucie. I'm on cd6, - I have been known to OV this early hence my panic. I normally would ov I cd10. This is all so stessful. I worked out my stimms are £57 a shot. That's a lot of money to us.... All adding to the pressure.

Ok well it is normally to have ewcm around that time and I think cd6 was when I had my spotting but I know what you're saying about ovulating early as it was a concern of mine too as although I haven't ovulated as early as cd6 I am normally early around day 11. Who is your dr at reprofit? Make sure they know that you normally ovulate very early in a natural cycle. You have your first scan tomorrow? They will look at the follicle sizes and if they are fairly large they should start you on Cetrotide which will prevent ovulation.

Thank you Lucie, and you too Boris. I can't even imagine any of this ending in a pregnancy. Isn't that crazy? All this time and money on something I don't even believe in!

I'll be ok, this is just a hormone blip, and shock as I hadn't really been paying attention to my cycle days and therefore was totally unprepared! I was wearing white knickers

Boris I def had ewcm around then, but no spotting. Although I've never had spotting. Ever.

£57 a shot! Why would you work that out! Lol. How depressing. Although worth every penny if it brings your baby. Xx

Sorry for AF Sammy but good that you get a bit of a head start on this cycle, new cycle new hope

I've got ewcm at the mo Boris but low fertility according to my OPKS.

Thanks Trixie. Xx

Thanks for the reassurance. this all feels so surreal.

Hi all,

AF is a couple of days late here, but can feel it coming. Was meant to start Monday - wish it would hurry up.

I'm even wearing white to invoke law of sod.

New cycle new hope Sammy - we can do this!!

Good luck with your scan today Boris let us know how you get on.

Itsme, hope af stays away for you.

Good luck today Boris

And an extra hug to Sammy. Rosie the Riveter has been my IVF icon:

My baseline is booked for tomorrow at 1pm. Was surprised as they normally leave it later, but I guess they don't really want extras on a Saturday! Xx

And thanks Banana, love that! Xx

Oh and I'm also with you on wishing I'd not worked out the cost of my stims jabs. At the start of my cycle it was £175 a night!!

I worked out that my Gonal-F was drop for drop more expensive than vintage champagne, at something like £233 per ml.

Banana crazy. Hope you are ok.

Ok so scan was good. The sonographer said in on track. I think I understood her to say it shows lining at 8mm, 35 folicles growing 2 on each side growing more than the rest, at about 11mm each. She also confirmed that the fibroids are not going to cause me complications. And now I can breath again. I have to go back to work now and sit in a big formal meeting with the leaders of my company and try to be professional....

35 follicles Boris??! Wow! Make sure you're drinking gallons of water! 8mm - I'm so jealous. My lining is never that thick :(. Glad your on track though, keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

Wow 35 follicles Boris?!?! Do you have pcos? You are going to have to be very careful you don't get ohss with that many.

I'm thinking I should now set myself up as a human egg farm. Make some money back.

I don't have diagnosed pcos although I sometimes think I might as I have some of the symptoms.

Holy moly Boris!! I hope Reprofit will advise - might need your dosage dropped so your ovaries don't go off like rockets. You're an egg laying machine!!! Like sammy I am well jell of your lovely thick lining - cor!!!

Just out of interest what would a more normal number of follicles be??

My clinic said in the info pack the average number of eggs retrieved was 10

Anything over 20 you're getting into hyper stimulation territory....
