Cycle Buddies March/April

[bjonesreborn]

I know its a bit early but I am awaiting for AF to arrive this month so we can start our second fresh IVF cycle.
Our history is I'm 41, ttc 3 years now, unexplained infertility. AMH is 1.7 We had a fresh cycle last year (march/April as well!) and had 2 embryos put back. They stuck until 9dp5dt.
We have changed clinics - as I couldn't go back to the first one, nothing they did wrong really, just in my head I couldn't go back there.
New clinic does seem more thorough, so we are going to be on different drugs, still buserelin to down reg but then onto Menopur. I am going to have the scratch this time too.
Last year the cycle buddies thread on here was invaluable to me so if anyone else is starting soon it would be lovely to have the support.

yorkshire how did your injections go?
Afm otd tomorrow. But think i’m out as started bleeding last night. Tmi but was a bit of brown but this morning has turned to red. I cannot believe it, yet again I have got so close. I guess there’s still a glimmer of hope until I only see one line but i am not holding out hope. I don’t know if we can go through this again.

Morning bjones, when I was notified someone had posted today, I actually said out loud, please let it be positive news for you. Hold on in there until tomorrow, like you said there is still a glimmer of hope- I keep reading about ladies who bleed even though pregnant. I truly have got everything crossed for you and will be thinking about you tomorrow.

Although the injection took almost 20 minutes to sort (!), I'm hoping that's because I'm a bit rusty and will be mixing those powders like a ninja within a few days.
I know it's wrong but already thinking about what our next step will be if this doesn't work out. I've even started looking at clinics abroad. I know we can't keep throwing money at it indefinitely though.

yorkshire the ninja injector- has a ring to it! I really hope everything works for you this time and you don’t have to go to next steps.
As expected i’m Officially out. Last time we got to 9dp5dt and this time to 10dp2dt. I don’t understand why I get so fucking close and then ‘boom’ hopes and dreams shattered. I really thought it would be different this time. I’m going to stay away from mumsnet for a while but really wish you all the luck in the world and I will pop back to see how you’re doing. If you’re ever in the area with your sledge do pop in. Thanks for the support and the laughs over the past couple months. Take care xx

I'm so sorry to hear your news bjones, had been thinking about you and willing everything to be ok. This situation is so shite and cruel, and must be especially hard when you make progress.
Totally understand you taking time off here, it's exactly what I did last time. However, if you ever want to rant/vent/make plans for the next snow day please feel free to pm me.
Thank you for your support over the past couple of months and your best wishes. Please take care xx

Sorry I've been away for the past week, it has been a bit emotional and up and down!
@bjonesreborn I am so so sorry that you haven't had the result we all hope and wish for, you may feel differently after a rest and I know you may not read this but taking some time out to recharge your batteries is defo a good plan xx

@dildoos So sad that you also didn't get your BFP :( Thinking of you and hope you're feeling okay x

@Yorkshirelass27 Hope you're doing okay and getting used to the injections again. I'm pretty much fine with them now although I still get myself in a tizz sometimes as they are such a fanny on!!
We had our scan yesterday (ahead of EC on Monday) and they can't see my right ovary as I have a large cyst (which I've had for years) and could only see 3 follicles on my left. I felt so upset yesterday as I was really hoping for a few more to give us the best chance possible (and maybe some to freeze!) but feeling a lot better now. Just trying to stay positive and hope there are some hidden on my right ovary and trying to remember its quality not quantity!
Waiting for a call this afternoon to see if we are still going ahead with EC on Mon or if they want me to continue Menopur for a few more days.
Hope everyone else is doing okay x

Hi xstephanie hope the call was positive this afternoon. Fingers crossed your right ovary behaves. Got everything crossed for you.
Injections are getting better thanks- it was first time lucky this morning (rather than third!). Started getting hot flushes, which in the weather we've had today is not funny!
Scan on Monday to see when I'm pulling the trigger.
Hope everyone has had a relaxing day x
