ICSI June/July

[Maggie9000]

Hi all, new to mumsnet but not to IVF or supporting forums!
I have a 7yr old son through ICSI, after 3 cycles. DP has a 3yr old daughter through ICSI and now we've decided we want one of our own....!

So short protocol is the order of the day, due to polycystic ovaries (not the syndrome) and AF is due next week so imminent.

Would love to chat to others in similar positions right now if there's anyone about?

@Namechangerextraordinaire1 how's it going on the buserelin? Have they given you the metformin because of your PCOS? I had forgotten all about metformin - I took it 10 years ago when I had fertility treatment with my first (I took clomid) but hadn't even thought about it during IVF. Maybe I need to ask my clinic. They also didn't advise any vitamins/supplements etc except for folic acid. Why do they all advise different things?!

Period started yesterday, so need to decide what we are doing next....

It's not so bad, although I do have some side effects. Bit of nausea, bit light headed and also starting to feel a bit of the rage. Poor df and dd. Oh and also my boobs are feeling a bit swollen. But in terms of side effects id say they're only a 3/10 for annoyance at the moment. I cant wait to get started properly, really want transfer to hurry up. But also already feeling a bit nervous for the outcome.

What will your next steps be do you think?
