@Crazydoglady123 nope, this cycle. So I'll ovulate next week and then a week later start the injections. They said it's ok to still ttc, though I am apprehensive about it. Think I'll email and get a dr to call me. Just very odd that the advice changes from one clinic to the next!!

@notyetamumbuttrying I just had a Google and I think it's because buserelin thins your lining so if you did get pregnant having a thin lining would make it hard for a developing embryo to implant. Having said that a few people have said here that their clinic have said they could try naturally on it community.babycentre.co.uk/post/a3900805/any-research-on-effect-of-buserelin-on-pregnancy

Hi everyone, had my nurses appointment today, lots of information to take in! But we're good to start on my next period, which is hopefully due around 5/6 May. I'm doing short protocol, so start bemfola on cd2. Impatiently waiting to ovulate, which hopefully will be tomorrow or Thursday. I'll have my first scan day 5/6. It's starting to feel more real now, i think all our forms are signed now, had to done one about anesthetic today... Hopefully will get my meds delivered next week!

I'm hoping to book a short break around test day, so I have something to look forward to either way.

Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow @polejunkie :)

@VenusStarr that’s amazing!! I’m on the same timeline as you, ovulation in the next day or two and AF will be due on 6th may, wonder what protocol I’ll be on and if it’ll start that soon!
How do you feel??

Ah, brilliant @polejunkie cycle buddies :) I'm feeling quite excited now. I had a massive headache after the appointment, but I've looked through my notes again and talked with dh (he was at work today) and I feel better. Just going to (try!) and take each day as it comes. X

@VenusStarr It is exciting now you know what’s happening - glad you’re feeling better about it, sending you lots of luck! I’ll update tomorrow, hoping I’m starting soon too🤞🏼i need to try not to get my hopes up in case we have other stuff to do / wait for before we reach the start line, seems different for everyone 🥴

Hi all! Just had a really busy few days so trying to catch up on everything!

@notyetamumbuttrying that’s really exciting to have your timeline! I also thought that you weren’t allowed to ttc naturally during the ivf cycle. I did ask my nurse yesterday but she hasn’t got back to me about it yet.

@polejunkie hope your appointment goes well tomorrow! Sounds like you are pretty much ready to start! 🤞🏻

@VenusStarr great that you are starting next month too! 👍🏻

@Aimzie so sorry to hear what you’ve just been through 💕 sending lots of hugs, make sure you take care of yourself and have some time off from ttc until your definitely ready again.

We’ve just signed and returned a billion forms that we’re emailed to us yesterday from the satellite clinic! I’m sure we’ve already filled some of them in when we registered with Bath in Dec but we just did them all again anyway just to keep it all moving!
Waiting to hear back from the nurse who is contacting Bath to see if we can start this cycle!! 🤞🏻 She said she would contact them today so I’ve been checking my emails constantly hoping for a response! Nothing yet, but hopefully will hear back in the next day or so!

@Crazydoglady123 that came up for me when I googled it too
I've also added a pic below from the extract from my hospitals website saying it's ok, odd eh.

Thanks @crazycatlady1981 sounds like it’s all go for you too!! Hope you hear back from the nurse soonest, sooooo many forms haha 😂 were doing our signing tomorrow, I know that much at least lol

@VenusStarr I think we'll be very similar timings! Will test day be in June? Good idea to be away for it. We're not away until w/c 21st.
@polejunkie hope you start soon too! Good luck for tomorrow.
@crazycatlady1981 It looks like each clinic is different with their advice, which I just find so strange! Ooh hope you hear bk soon too. We could all be going through this together ♥️

@notyetamumbuttrying ah well I'd go for it then!

So nice to hear everyone starting their treatment soon ❤️

@Crazydoglady123 I think we will 😬 I'd love to be one of those Jammy gits who falls right before treatment 🤪
It's great we're all starting so close together isn't it. ♥️

So excited for you all starting treatment!!! (And a little jealous 😂😂😂)

Not got much to add as not ttc this month waiting for hycosy

@notyetamumbuttrying that will be nice for you, norwich isn't far from me! I'm in cd7 and waiting for our appointments!

I have had a bad pain on my right side since af ended, it's quite bad today and I have brown discharge/spotting. I'm waiting for a call from the gp as I am a little worried.... seems way to early for ovulation? Too early for me anyway!

Morning all 👋

🤞 For starting this cycle @crazycatlady1981

Hope you get the go ahead too @polejunkie I'm trying to keep my expectations low (due to amh I'm not expected to get lots of eggs) but I am feeling excited :)

Yes I think early June for test day @notyetamumbuttrying the clinic will do a blood hcg test 2 days before official test day... Not sure how I feel about that. I'm definitely not testing early. I tested early after my letrozole cycle and still had trigger and then bfn and I felt horrible so I've made a promise to myself not to do it and live in a nice pupo bubble.

When is your hycosy @Annny27?

Hope you can get some reassurance from your GP @notyetamumbuttrying

Positive opk today! So af should be here by 4 May 🥳 😬

@VenusStarr thanks lovely! Really glad you’re feeling positive 😊 will update later, appt not until 130 so gotta wait around...

@polejunkie, @VenusStarr, @notyetamumbuttrying we will all be about the same then, im expecting to start my short protocol on 10th May if AF turns up as expected. I have my drugs and nurse appointment to explain how to use them is next Tuesday. Unless of course I fall pregnant miraculously this cycle. Its funny ttc again, we haven't this year because we started the first ivf cycle on my January day 21. My OH is having to suffer schedule dtd again!

My dh hates the schedule @Motherofkittens28! 😂 Hope your nurses appointment goes well next week x

@notyetamumbuttrying we are going to Norfolk for a few days too! In May.
@polejunkie I hope your appointment goes well!
So much ivf happening too! I hope it goes well for you all! @VenusStarr @Motherofkittens28 and anyone else nearly starting!

I had my first iui this morning. A bit of a faff as you still can't do the semen at the bloody hospital. 🙄 My bit was quick though really and then you just have to lie there 10 minutes after. 1 down. 2 more to go! And then I'll get to go on the ivf list!

@RobinRose I know this probably isn't the case but have you done pg test? Continued bleeding after and pain on one side could mean an ectopic. Do you have any pain anywhere else? X

@kerrym87 hey! No i haven't done one... I spoke to the doctor, explained I have just had a period and other issues and she asked if I had done a test.... I said no... i just had a period 🤨 just pain mostly on my usual right ride, twinges in my back and lower stomach. Im wondering if they will get me to do one later? It is probably nothing but can't help but worry, ectopic has crossed my mind

@paintfairy glad iui went ok today, good luck to you!

Hello all - got the forms signed and go ahead for next cycle! Nervous but excited - don’t really need to do anything for now though just wait to start and then start nasal spray on cycle day 21... based on timeline I don’t think a break away in July will be happening haha, although I’m not fussed - I’d rather be doing the IVF. Bring on AF!

@Annny27 when's your hycosy mate?
@RobinRose yeah I'm excited to go somewhere new lol!
@VenusStarr yeah don't think I'll test early either, stopped that habit long ago when we got the male factor diagnosis. Are you still trying naturally as well or have you been told not to?
@Motherofkittens28 yes we will! Ooh fingers crossed for that natural bfp before ivf starts then!! 🤞🏾#theholygrail 😂
@paintfairy ahh nice! Hope you enjoy 😊 so have you been told you ovulated today then? Tww time now then?
@polejunkie I'm glad you're all a go now too!
@Aimzie how are you hun?
@RobinRose have you had a laparoscopy before btw? Could be endometriosis...that presents in all forms of weird and wonderful ways!

Its tomorrow ! @venusstarr :D nervous haha! Have you had one before?

@notyetamumbuttrying tomorrow :S gonna do my pre doctors appointment shave of the legs and the downstairs 😂😂😂

P.s I saw on another thread when having a read that @2020mission may have some news? 💝🙈
