Ivf anyone starting stimms next week?

[naty1]

Im starting stimns next week for icsi(dependent on blood test)?
Anyone at the same time want to join.

[naty1]

Yeah i have seen some people with +ve at 8dpo but who really knows normally maybe people are wrong about ovulation - that month it was earlier etc.
So not much longer till EC

[suzylee73]

I'm spotting now, is that normal after a scan?

[naty1]

Ive not had it.
Could you try calling clinic?
Maybe irritated cervix?

[suzylee73]

Because I have no Fallopian tubes they do have to root around to find my ovaries and it was quite painful.
I'm not going to worry about it I reckon it's nothing and if it is something there's not a lot can be done anyway

[naty1]

I have similar prob due to pcos my 1 ovary has moved higher. My first ever scan i thought they werent going to find it. The scans were a bit painful. The ovaries can be moving a bit as they get bigger and out of way of enlarging uterus.
Hope everything is ok on next scan.

[naty1]

Realise that should be 1 of my ovaries

[Shellster52]

Glad you can have a stress free approach and not worry about a bit of spotting. I don't know how you are staying so calm - you will have to teach me a thing or two for my IVF next cycle! I would be trying to memorize everything they tell me in the scan - you were thinking about lunch!

[Shellster52]

Naty, when is your period actually due that you think you should get a positive test (hopefully!!!!)

[naty1]

I always had v short lp about 11 days. But dont think period would come until after i stop progesterone at 16dpo.
Im sure v faint line was 15 days last time (on first response) so feel i wont know for sure until about 16-17.

[suzylee73]

Just had my 10 day scan they are going to ring me later but looking at EC maybe Wedesday.
I have 8 follies either side, not sure what the average is though but 16 sounds like enough

[naty1]

That sounds good.

[suzylee73]

How are you doing Naty? Must be dragging I guess?
Do you find yourself imagining symptoms? I think I will when I get to the ttw. Before I knew I was infertile I would always think my af was actually implantation bleeding! I think ttc can drive you a bit mad

[naty1]

No symptoms.
Am going little crazy, seems such a long time. Probably would be easier with a 5 day transfer not such a wait after

[naty1]

Spotting :(

[suzylee73]

Oh Naty I'm so sorry. Is it definitely your period?

[naty1]

Dont know? I usually have spotting before period. (I had no implantaion bleeding last time)
Im still on progesterone till thursday (or 15 days)

[suzylee73]

I really hope it is implantation but you shouldn't get your hopes up. It's better to be prepared for bad news. I guess you will know soon enough

[Shellster52]

Oh Naty, I am just trying to think of something to say to make you feel better - but there is nothing! Did you plan on giving IVF x amount of tries for baby number two? I always found it helpful to have a back up plan in case the current plan doesn't work out (although being about to do IVF # 5 I am running out of back up plans!)

[naty1]

Yep just this 1 go. Too expensive (6k) for any more tries

[suzylee73]

It is a lot of money I'm so sorry it hasn't worked for you Naty x

[Shellster52]

Yeah, it's unfairly expensive. I am about to do IVF number 5! (Not even adding up my bills). I just want a baby so bad and it's hard to stop trying.

[Shellster52]

suzylee, what's your next step? Did you get a confirmation date for EC? Will you have any more scans before hand? I guess just seeing the despair of Nat, makes me think we should come up with a back up plan or prepare to accept that it might not work. Do you have any plan B for if IVF doesn't work or are you just focusing on your current IVF now?

[suzylee73]

I have my EC in the morning, have to admit yo feeling a little nervous now. I feel so close but there's so much that can go wrong now.
If I manage to get some frozen I will use them but if it's a big fat fail I will live my life differently that's all I will enjoy doing all the things childless couples enjoy.

[suzylee73]

I don't mean to make light of it but I am determined that childlessness won't destroy me long term.

[naty1]

Good luck for tomorrow Suzy.
