@notyetamumbuttrying good luck for tomorrow - I'm so excited for you!

7DPO and nothing to report. I'm really just waiting for my next fertility appointment (17/06), I feel like I'm just killing time in between...

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 13:03

Hi gals just popping on to catch up

Firstly @Motherofkittens28 I hope you are OK chin up sweetie ❤️

Secondly I have just had my second review Consultation I had 4 follicles on my left ovary and 2 on the right has anyone anything positive to say about this I suppose it depends on whether they fertilise or not I can't see us having any to freeze actually feel sick with nerves thinking about it 🤦‍♀️ x

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 13:20

@Crazydoglady123 hey you! Been thinking about you, how are you? Thank you 😊
@Juno231 thanks matey! And you never know but great that next appointment is only weeks away now!
@Sjhigs I can understand your worries but all could very well fertilise and you get ones to freeze. Keep the faith!

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 14:02

@notyetamumbuttrying it's all so annoying there's actually no stage you can get excited about the whole process until they're out and fertilised 🙈 need a time machine fast forward a wee month 😂

kerrym87 · 25/05/2021 14:04

@Juno231 me too! Just waiting for appt on 10th, waiting to see with next SA has improved often felt its pointless as I also have pcos and endo but still get my hopes up! @Motherofkittens28 so tell me a bit about your wedding, love hearing of what the dress is like, are you having any little decorations (we made ours as I was off sick for months beforehand) x

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 14:05

@Sjhigs wouldn't a time machine be fab! Or just a crystal ball 🔮 so are you stimming still or was this a baseline scan?

OP posts:
Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 15:27

@notyetamumbuttrying no no yet this was my sis and scan day to check for polyps etc I'm currently on the pill for another 2 weeks il have my baseline and start stims the week after that does your follicle count change every month or do they always stay the same. Maybe I could do something to help get some more 😂🤦‍♀️

Motherofkittens28 · 25/05/2021 15:55

@Sjhigs I have exactly the same funnily enough, 4 on left, 2 on right. It was the same for both of my ivf rounds but I think technically it can change month by month.

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 16:09

@Motherofkittens28 wow that's so coincidental what age are you x

Motherofkittens28 · 25/05/2021 16:16

@Sjhigs I'm 39, remind me how old you are? I think it's so odd that they aren't balanced, feel like I should be walking around slightly leaning to the left!

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 16:46

I'm 37 I think he was expecting a little more from the right but says we only need one good one so hoping and praying we get it and maybe a wee back up for the freezer 🙏

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 16:46

@Motherofkittens28 forgot to tag you x

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 17:33

@Sjhigs I see. Mine changed from 12 in March to 15 in May so I'm thinking I'll have 15 again tomorrow (hopefully) so they defo can increase! Are you taking coq10/ubiquinol? My amh is low btw (5.4 at 35 years old) so no idea why my afc triples that?! So I'm on high dose menopur (300ml) as they have no idea what to expect from me 😂
I'm sure you'll get a good one, you just have to! 🙏🏾🤞🏾

Sjhigs · 25/05/2021 17:53

@notyetamumbuttrying I was taking co and stupidly stopped I've some ordered from amazon today will be here tomorrow I hope I haven't left it too late and hopefully get a couple more on there my ivf cycle even 1 more 😅 it's the most annoying thing I've ever put myself through I need to know now the wait is the killer 🙈

Juno231 · 25/05/2021 17:56

@notyetamumbuttrying how much ubiquinol are you taking btw? I take it on and off but I've never taken the full dose as it costs a lot and clearly hasn't helped me get pregnant so far!

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 19:05

@Sjhigs waiting is the worst isn't it!! Good you've got more on order!
@Juno231 recently upped it to 200, I found a brand that did 200 in one tab. Let me take a pic of it, hold on. Just off Amazon.

OP posts:
notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 19:09

Here you are. Started taking these end of last month I reckon. Previously on 100mg per day for the past year I reckon! No idea if anything's helped of course as we just thought it was male factor at first and then we found out about my endo and low Amh debacle so 🤷🏾‍♀️ but I keep hearing about high ubiquinol being the one so fuck it right! Throwing the kitchen sink at it now 😆

@notyetamumbuttrying do you think I'm too late I'm roughly 6weeks away from egg collection 🙈

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2021 19:50

@Sjhigs no of course not, it's better than not having ever taken it. I wasn't told to take this, only thing I was told to take was folic acid.

Motherofkittens28 · 25/05/2021 20:16

@kerrym87 so our wedding is in a barn and I'm hiring this big fake tree for us to get married in front off (there are of course trees outside but I'm clearly difficult!). My dress is slightly blush, I'm so pale that bright white looks terrible on me so this is a bit warmer. It's very lacey and it's a fit and flare, I love love love the back where it flares out, so pretty, all pictures of me should be from the back! I have a full length veil, was never sure if I would have one at all but as soon as I put it on I needed it! Bridesmaids are in teal multiway style dresses so they can wear them how they feel comfortable. I've part decorated a load of jars with hessian and lace, they are going to have fake candles in and go at the end of the rows of chairs for the ceremony, possibly also round the tree. I'm going to wrap greenery round the pillars in the barn, I'm going for a kind of enchanted woodland theme. I am making the table plan, really want to start it but I need final numbers and Boris to make a decision on restrictions first. Our centre pieces are mini fake trees with twinkly lights that are going to go on log slices and our place names are going in mini logs as well. I've spent so long organising everything I'm praying we get to go ahead with our full numbers, I'll be so sad if we are restricted to 30 with no music. We can't agree on a first dance song though, so maybe that's for the best!

crazycatlady1981 · 25/05/2021 21:43

@polejunkie good luck with starting your meds tomorrow! How long have you got to take the nasal spray for?

@sjhigs I think the follicles can vary each month so you may have a different amount by the time you have your baseline scan. Yep definitely go for it with the coq10! Everything’s worth a shot at this point!

@notyetamumbuttrying excited for your scan tomorrow! 🤞🏻

@Motherofkittens28 ooh your wedding theme and plans sound perfect! 💕

Marvellouslymadmum · 25/05/2021 22:31

@Motherofkittens28 so sorry you've been feeling low, I do hope you're feeling a little better today and great that you've got your t with the new clinic booked! Your wedding sounds absolutely beautiful, very similar to something I'd like too

I'm not sure what's happened to my body this month, temps are up and down like a yo-yo ov strips went up and down but got a high on Saturday, cb digital still says ⭕️ but I started them late as they didn't arrive in time so who knows!!

polejunkie · 26/05/2021 05:34

@crazycatlady1981 3 weeks 😬

@notyetamumbuttrying scan day 🎉 good luck, let us know how you get on!

notyetamumbuttrying · 26/05/2021 08:12

@polejunkie @crazycatlady1981 thank you both. Will update the group around lunchtime.
@Marvellouslymadmum as long as you're dtd regularly then you're covered!
@Motherofkittens28 sounds beautiful! I got married outside under a pavilion on the august bh in 2019, it was a really hot day but lovely being outside all day! I also had a blush dress 😍you'll look stunning I'm sure! Theme sounds really nice! X
