What IVF dose and how many eggs did you get?

[Hyppyb]

Hey,

It's my second cycle if ivf, I'm on Bemfola 225 iu and it's day 4 of my cycle. Last time I was on Gonal F 150iu. Was wondering if it will produce more eggs now.

Just wanted to ask anyones dosage, the name of their ivf medication and the egg result, home many were retrieved?

@Hyppyb your officially pregnant, you must be over the moon. Massive congrats lovely x

@SH998 Thank you 😊 I have my viability 6 weeks scan on the 8th December. Trying to remain chilled. I have to take the pessaries another 8 weeks. So yeah all seems OK.

I hope your frozen embryo transfer is successful too.

@Hyppyb the transfer is booked for tomorrow, I’ve been calm up until now but starting to panic incase something goes wrong, I can tell I wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.
Hope all goes well with the viability scan, keep us updated x

Hey

I had EC on 31st October,

17 eggs retrieved
15 fertilised
1 fresh transfer - BFP
4 frozen embryos

that was on long protocol so 28days of buserelin and the stims was 150iu I think for 10 days total. AMH 26.3

Just noticed your BFP too! Congratulation Your viability scan is two days after me. Good luck!
hope you’re managing to be slightly more relaxed than I’m being! X

@SH998 please do try and relax, believe me I know, my prior transfer before this one I was soooo nervous because it was just one embryo and not a blastocyst (day 3) and i was shaking. Let us know how you get on. I didn't do any exercise, didn't eat Mcdonald fries, I just believes in the 4BB embryo 😊

@KM1991 you had a really successful cycle, your AMH is so good. I did mild ivf so only 9 days of injections still have the marks on my tummy.

It's so weird I'm so chilled and calm. Deep down I am worried about the scan but it's manageable nerves.

I cant remember what meds i had as was abt 20 years ago, but round one, 4 eggs and round two 2 eggs. Neither successful

@Hyppyb the transfer took place this afternoon, the embryo had expanded to 100% (they were looking for 70%) so couldn’t have gone better. I do feel a lot more chilled this time but ask me in 2 weeks if I’m still that chilled lol 😂
How you feeling? X

@SH998 I'm happy to hear your transfer went well. 😊 Wow 100% expanded? That sounds really positive. It's all done now so best to take it easy. Got my fingers crossed for you. Are you going to test before the two week? On 7dp5dt I was like that's so a positive. Before that the lines were faint. See guide I kept following.

I'm good. I'm still testing on the cheapies and the hcg continues to rise. Will stop next week. I have a work Xmas lunch soon, most starters I can't have like duck in cognac, loads of deli meats, I'm having a soup that I don't want. It's great not having my period they're pretty heavy. No symptoms apart from the sore boots from time to time.

@Hyppybthank you, it couldn’t have gone better they said so fingers crossed my body reacts in the way it should and holds onto this one.
I was terrible last time, I tested 5dp5dt and had a very faint positive which continued to get darker, I’ll say now I wouldn’t test before the recommended 14 days but I know I will. I have to calm it this time though, I was so shocked to be pregnant I was testing up until the day of my 8 week viability scan which didn’t end well so completely gave me a false sense of security. I wouldn’t be testing last day 14 this time.
Glad your feeling ok, I didn’t have many symptoms either apart from extreme tiredness, I’m sure the further along you get the more symptoms you will have x

@SH998 sorry to hear your prior 8 week viability scan didn't end well. So hope this time it all ends well for you. Yesterday out of nowhere I had really bad bloating, cramping, gas, luckily working from home. It was a lot, it eased off in the evening but it left wind trapped in hip, I was like a hunchback, it's still there 24 hours later. They say women who have loads of pregnancy symptoms is a good sign. Not sure how true that is. Day by day.

@Hyppyb it can’t be a bad thing having lots of symptoms, makes it seem real doesn’t it :)
Did you have any light pink spotting/discharge/vaginal odour after the transfer? No 2 days past and experiencing all these, I didn’t have these before on the positive test so I’m starting to panic. This time is completely different to last time but not sure if that’s due to increased progesterone as taking more this time and also estrogen? X

@SH998 in September I had a frozen transfer, on eostrogen and vaginal pessaries, there was no spotting or discharge. That failed. This time was a fresh transfer so I guess I have enough eostrogen in me from all the eggs, so I'm just on vaginal pessaries again no spotting. I can't tell about discharge because the pessaries leak out.

What I did experience this time was cramping from day 2 to day 4. Implantation cramping. I read implanting could produce light bleeding, maybe that's what you're experiencing. Maybe your body is reacting different to last time. I had no symptoms my failed FET but my successful one I was i
cramping in pain. Hopefully it's a sign the
embryo is implanting.

@Hyppyb i don’t think it will be implantation as I started yesterday just 1 day after transfer. I’ve googled it (as google is the answer to everything lol) and it does say this could be linked to the estrogen and progesterone but nothing really firm. This has completely thrown me as nothing like last time when it was actually successful. The next few days are going to be so long now worrying about this. The whole process is a never ending worry :( x

@SH998 you said the embryo expanded 100%, so what if it implanted early....2 days after 5 day embryo is a guideline. As you say maybe it is the eostrogen and progesterone. The eostrogen I found definitely had a bad affect on me. Hormones can really affect you.

They said 100% expanded, could that mean that it would implant sooner due to that? It really went over my head what they said, my partner took it in and explained it to me as I was too nervous to take anything in at that point. I only heard 100% and that was it lol x

Sometimes it does go over your head for sure. All you hear is good news and less about the details. I found my doctors not very good at communicating info really. I've been trying for a year so I definitely understand the feeling of when will this end, after going through multiple attempts. It's not the easiest. I'm in the clinic on Thursday for the 6 week scan and really hoping i don't see them again until I decide whether to use the frozen embryos for a sibling.

Hope the light bleeding is something positive.

@SH998 how are you doing? Soon to start testing?

Have my scan tomorrow, but was in the hospital over the weekend thinking I could have been have a suspected etopic pregnancy, little blood and in pain. Stayed in hospital only because they found I was anemic from my heavy periods.

They did blood test said my hcg was 7000, then did a blood transfusion and then did a next blood test said my hcg was 2316, that it was signs of failing pregnancy. It was a nurse. I thought about it wouldn't a blood transfusion with no hcg affect your hcg levels? The nurse said no. I just don't believe that but have my scan so will see what they find tomorrow.

@Hyppyb try not to think the worse! I'm saying this and I know it’s easier said than done but you’re sat at home thinking every possible scenario you can and worrying to the point you’re not sleeping .. you need to keep as positive and chilled as possible.
You need to stay as calm as you can for your body and little baby's sake 🙂 Hopefully (I’ve got everything crossed) that all will be well tomorrow.
As for me, Im out, I knew from the second day of transfer it had failed so I’ll be discussing my meds next FET as they really didn’t agree with me.
Wishing you all the best for the scan tomorrow and please keep me updated 🙏🏻🤞🏼 x

@SH998 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're keeping positive too. I went through the same thing in September. A failed FET what made it worst was it was only one embryo from the cycle and the eostrogen left me feeling so bad. They didn't agree with me either I said before. Your body and hormones should feel better after your period starts. A big release of tension.

What's your next step? Other frozen embryos or new cycle? It's not easy all this.

I'm OK and not worrying loads. I just believe I was given wrong info from the nurse. If water can lower your hcg in a urine test then certainly a blood transfusion with non hcg blood plus all the saline IV I was on can affect it. Lower it.

I looked online only to find a non pregnant woman tested positively pregnant after a blood transfusion from a pregnant woman. Saying all that only will know more later. Just didn't want to believe wrong info.

@Hyppyb how was todays scan? I hope it’s put your mind at ease now a little.
That was my last frozen so now back to a fresh round which I hope works better for me. Can I ask when you started your fresh round after Septembers failed frozen, not sure of the waiting period. I just want to get moving again x

@SH998 hey, so went for my scan and they couldn't find the baby, they said they didnt have a good view of the womb because of all my fibroids but they gave me a hcg test and its dropped again so it is looking like a miscarriage coming. They want me back in 10 days. I see a nhs doc tomorrow for scan because of being in hospital over the weekend. I now just want to not go back to the clinic and let the miscarriage happen, they do want me back for a scan in 10 days but I'd have to pay more and I just feel like most women go for a scan at 3 months and deal with miscarriages etc up til then. Might get scans on nhs earlier will see what the nhs doc says with scan tomorrow.

I got pregnant with a fresh transfer...my frozen was September with a pricier clinic, then another clinic did a cheaper package they upped their age limit to 39, so I applied for that and once accepted waited for my next cycle was due it was November.

I think my period from the failed FET was in October a week later than normal then my fresh transfer was the next cycle so there was no waiting

@Hyppyb oh I’m so sorry to hear that, it’s absolutely devastating isn’t it. I hope you wasnt alone receiving the news? I was when I had mine and all I wanted was a hug from someone.
If you call your EPU in the NHS tomorrow they should book you in for a scan within the next few days regardless of funded or private IVF and discuss your options. X
