IVF Jan 2025

[WanOvaryKenobi]

Hello all, anyone else starting IVF at the start of next year?

Hi, I hope everyone is doing ok and had a good Christmas.
I am due to start IVF in January. We have been trying for nearly 4 years and after lots of investigations through the NHS (and many delays!) we went private in February 2024. In my baseline scan they noted my lining was very thin so they did 2 further repeat scans at different times in my cycle. From this they also noted there were signs of adhesions (probably from a previous ERPC following a molar pregnancy in 2021). I was refered back to the NHS for a hysteroscopy to investigate and remove the adhesions. I had 3 months of hormone treatment to help repair my lining and our clinic have finally given me the go ahead to start IVF in the new year.

Hi all,

I’m starting my first round of IVF in early Jan.
I’m 30 with PCOS, endo and adenomyosis but have been told we have unexplained infertility. OH is 33 and everything is fine on his side. Been trying for 2.5+ years and as otherwise healthy people, still no success which as I’m sure you all know, is heartbreaking every month.

We’re excited to get started now after such a long process so far. Hopeful. Came across groups for IVF across other months when I’ve been researching and thought it was so lovely for people to be able to talk to others going through a similar journey and feel less alone during this difficult process.

Fingers crossed for us all that we get our little miracles xx

Hello, just checking in with you all and wishing for the best. How are you getting on?

Waiting to test eeeek fet done early this week

Ooo good luck @Thatslifethatsit 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

We have had to delay our treatment for a month. My partner has had the flu this week and I’m starting to feel sniffle too. Tomorrow would have been my day 1 but we have concerns that I will end up more poorly after starting my stims which we’d need then need to cancel. We’re NHS funded which would mean losing our chance another.

Weighing up our options it looks like delaying is the best option.

How are you doing?

Hi, my dr has been off sick so we have to delay our treatments until Feb/march.

Hey everyone! We've got our first fertility appt for early Feb. Such a long wait, we've been trying for 2+ years with one miscarriage along the way.

My tests so far have all been OK with the only "issue" being found is low morphology for my partner. Assuming they will offer ivf? Or maybe a Hycosy as I haven't had one of those.

All the uncertainty and the long wait is not fun! I'm trying not to have high hopes for the first appointment as I don't want to be disappointed.

@ivfjourneyandme are you doing IVF with ICSI this time round?

We are doing ivf with ICSI for a better chance at fertilisation.

@lovelivelaugh63 we have always had icsi worked well for us

Got a bfp here so quietly optimistic but not counting our chickens yet

So happy for you @Thatslifethatsit
Did you have short protocol or long?
What did you change in terms of lifestyle, diet, any vitamins you ate?

What tips would you give us?

@lovelivelaugh63 short protocol both times regular periods
I was already a gym goer and more protein based diet generally I do have more eggs and veg for breakfast now
vitamins I already took iron vitamin c and d but added omega 3 and Co q 10 this time round but with my first no Co q 10
my advice would be not to overanalyse or punish yourself and try as hard as possible to go with the processes (much easier said than done) everyone reacts differently to the stims it doesn’t always work first time we had 3 attempts to get that right and weirdly I got more embryos this time than I did for my first child so who knows why that happened as I’m a few years older

Hi all,

How is everyone getting on? Any updates or progress? 🤞🏽

I’ve started my stim cycle this weekend. Not sure when to expect the emotional turmoil to start!

I started down regulation injections on the 21st January and had my scan last week to check, everything was looking 'nice and quiet' so I start stims this Thursday! I finally feel like I'm really getting started!

How's it's everyone else doing? I joined the February thread and there are lots of others there to share the journey with.

@Squeezinglifeslemons @Allnew2021 hope it all goes really well for you both at least you are getting underway now 😊
