abc IVF experience sharing - 2021/2022

[Millymillymillymillymilly]

Hey everyone,

I've benefited so much from the last 2 abc ivf threads that I thought I'd start a new one and hopefully can contribute back to the community.

I'm 33 years old, AFC around 24 (based on the initial treatment scan) and the reason we are doing IVF is due to male infertility issues (morphology lower than 4%) and irregular ovulation. We are undergoing treatment at the Harley Street branch.

Here's my treatment timeline so far:

09/11 Tue - Bemfola injection 125
10/11 Wed - Bemfola injection 125
11/11 Thu - Bemfola injection 125
12/11 Fri - Bemfola injection 125 + 1st scan
13/11 Sat - Bemfola injection 125
14/11 Sun - Bemfola injection 125 + Cetrotide injection
15/11 Mon - Bemfola injection 125 + Cetrotide injection +2nd scan
16/11 Tue - Bemfola injection 125 + Cetrotide injection
17/11 Wed - Cetrotide injection + 3rd scan + Ovitrelle injection (exact timing TBC)

After my 3rd scan today, the nurse said I didn't have to do anymore injections apart from morning Cetrotide shot and the Ovitrelle which someone from the Create clinic will call and let me know when to inject as it needs to fit into their egg retrieval appointments (I still haven't received the call and my scan was at 08.30 this morning).

My follicles' growth was as below:

1st scan
11 < 6mm
10 10 mm

2nd scan
2 < 6mm
12

Forgot to add, this is day 3 of egg collection. I am positive day 5 will be good and will get some blastocyst for freezing.
what supplements would you suggest before FET

Hi Ladies, this thread seems to have gone quiet so not sure if it's active anymore or not. How are you all getting on?

Finally had my BFP this morning after my second transfer with ABC, we're beyond excited for the start of our journey, still in a bit of shock.

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

@waitingmyturn Congratulations!!! So happy for you and great to hear a positive story.

I pushed for my NHS round since having the failed private round in March, and it finally came through. I have my initial tests in a few weeks and will hopefully start in August 🤞🤞

@Mazzaroo2022 thank you so much, still early but we're optimistic.

Im so glad you've got a starting point for your NHS round, I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

won't be long now, the weeks fly by!

Just to update - my first round got 12 mature eggs, 8 fertilised and 4 grew to 5 day blast stage. I have one transferred and 3 frozen and am currently 9w2d with my fingers crossed.

Hi everyone. So I'm delighted to say we had to cancel our NHS round, as I tested positive naturally! Still in shock as have never been pregnant in all of the 3 years we've tried. I read a book called 'it starts with the egg' after our failed ivf round and took all the supplements recommended in it. Three months later and I'm pregnant. It can't be a coincidence. Would Def recommend to anyone trying. Good luck to you all xx

@Mazzaroo2022 huge congratulations to you!! You must be over the moon!

@waitingmyturn Thanks so much. I'm so so happy!
