Angliski · 17/06/2017 18:42

@pickle that would be nice! I reckon we start injections around the 9th July and ovulation will be around 23rd July - you? I plan to hit it hard with the gonal f again this time and to ask for heparin from ovulation onwards,

pickle162 · 17/06/2017 19:42

I start injections on 29th June with iui prob 12th July if follies grow well so bit earlier. We will share a bit of tww (as mine is 18day wait)

Snowdog37 · 17/06/2017 20:40

Hi! Just a quickie as I'm not in wifi and data costs a fortune abroad.... I'm in Prague and it's wonderful! My donor is a superstar and produced 16 mature eggs of which I got 8!!! Eight!!!! They were icsi'd on Thursday lunchtime and I found out today all 8 fertilized and are developing "appropriately". I'm overwhelmed as I never expected to get more than 3-4 mature eggs. Tomorrow is day 3 so maybe a few will stop developing? But we are going ahead with a blasto transfer on Tuesday! My lining is 9.7mm and I hate the progesterone pessaries lol....
So very exciting and I highly recommend this clinic. They've been excellent every step of the way.

I hope each of you gets to experience the blessings I'm currently experiencing. It's the most optimistic I've ever felt.

pickle162 · 17/06/2017 20:57

@Snowdog37 that's fantastic!!! Fingers crossed those little cells keep dividing! Sounds like couldn't have gone better and what a lovely thick lining you have. Keep us informed when you can xx

Pez82 · 17/06/2017 21:09

Amazing news snowdog!! It looks really promising, fingers crossed for a top quality blasto! Pessaries aren't the nicest thing but totally worth it. Tomorrow I'll be inserting my 210th and final one!!!

juneybean · 17/06/2017 21:17

Ah snowdog that's awesome!!

pickle162 · 17/06/2017 21:27

Wahooo what a milestone pez no more pessaries yipeeeee!!!

PhoenixMama · 17/06/2017 23:47

Pez82 · 18/06/2017 09:22

I didn't count them! I had 10 boxes of 21 each Wink, I gradually reduced the dosage so could take them up to week 14.

juneybean · 19/06/2017 10:18

Hi all,

I just had my GP appointment ... she didn't seem to know what to do with me as my periods are regular and I ovulate according to my charts... I asked about progesterone testing as my luteal phase temps are always up and down but she didn't seem bothered by that.

She said she could refer me privately but I don't need a referral if there's nothing wrong... I can just go to them myself.

Any who I asked if she would check my bloods anyways so have got a blood test for day 20 and day 24 as my periods vary.

PhoenixMama · 19/06/2017 14:38

Thats so annoying June! I feel your pain on this - there's no reason why it's not happening but it's just not which is endlessly frustrating. Good thing on the blood test though!

juneybean · 19/06/2017 17:49

Exactly!!

Oh well, I've got my young man coming round tonight, have had EWCM so that's good...but no pos OPK as yet.

How are you doing phoenix?

pickle162 · 19/06/2017 18:08

Well if in fertile window fresh sperm can stay around longer so maybe well timed
Glad you are getting a blood test done juney shame your Gp wasn't much help tho :(

This weather is exhausting, coupled with insomnia I am struggling

juneybean · 19/06/2017 18:20

It's so hot isn't it? I just had a quick wash to cool down and am sweaty and sticky again already.

I can't imagine how worse it could be with insomnia as well :(

Munrowalker · 19/06/2017 19:04

I finally got a smiley face on my pee stick!!! So back off to the fertility clinic tomorrow for iui
Fingers crossed this is our cycle. I don't know if I can handle another load of disappointment.

pickle162 · 19/06/2017 19:16

Wow that time again already Munro will
Be thinking of you

juneybean · 19/06/2017 21:21

Good luck Munro!!

LRDtheFeministDragon · 19/06/2017 21:33

Good luck munro

snow, what lovely news! How exciting.

juney - can you push a little more? I am my own worst advocate, but I do think pushing is sometimes necessary. Eventually someone ought to be able to help figure things out a bit.

I'm still in the middle of the ongoing rollercoaster of communication fuckups, and it's so easy to get fed up. But I'm persisting.

PaisleyBE · 20/06/2017 08:13

The best of luck today, Munro !

My update: af finished yesterday, so now the ovulation wait. I better stock some opks. Grin
