Hey I thought we could do this one as it's going More October/ November :)

@ivftake1 I am with Care, what about you?

I'm with CRGH

@Freezerbump woohoo - when do you start stims?? Are we on the same day?

Thanks @Mctm123 feeling ok today although drinking so much water I’m forever in the toilet haha poor students. How are you?

Called the clinic this morning to order my meds and get everything moving - eeekkk!

Also, can you guys do me a favour please? I fall outside of the NHS funding criteria for my area because I turned 39 on the day we went into lockdown and everything got delayed. It's affecting loads of women so can you please click on the link below and scroll to the bottom to write to your MP to ask them to stop the clock. The letter is already completed for you so takes like a minute of your time but can help to change the lives of a lot of women like me. Thanks ladies x

Also guys, can you help me understand my treatment plan please? These are just in the order on my cost plan so not necessarily in the order I take them all.

Progynova - 5 days worth (before treatment starts)
Cetrotide - 9 days worth
Menopur - 8 days worth
Gonal F - 5 days worth
HCG x 1
Cyclogest x 40 (post transfer)

Which are injections and what is taken together?

@Raggity19 I know! All being well I should start stuns on the 15th ish, downreg scan on 14th so if I'm turned off then I'll start stimming, when do you go?

@BrandyM thank you, I am just relaxing today, feeling a little achy after the trigger shot last night, definitely ready for tomorrow.
The best person to speak to would be the pharmacist. I know someone on here said it didn't work for private, but it would be worth asking. I just bought it and show the certificate with the prescription. I am going through NHS. It is advertised at the hospital pharmacy saying if someone has more than 4 prescriptions a year it would be worth getting one. I would hate to give the wrong advice. Pharmacy staff are lovely, they will know. X

@freezerbump I am so happy AF has arrived. I can't believe I'm typing that! Good luck with starting, you will be fine, and yes shit is going to get real, but is is an exciting time.

@mctm123 I have everything crossed they have a growth spurt for Thursday. Xx

@hopeful182 good luck for your ec, I'm crossing all of the things for you xx
(Prepare to be interrogated on Thursday) xx

@brandy think we're be the last ones together by Everton speeding along..
I'm not sure on the pre paid but son Sa better lol

@hopeful182 good luck with your egg collection ❤️ we will be here for you all the way. When I had mine all I spoke about was cheese an ham
Sandwiches. An how amazing they taste.. I don't even like cheese 🤣🤣🤣

@Mctm123 good luck for Thursday

@dragonfly1978 I'm with care to. Well mines just been taken over.

@Freezerbump good luck wit your stimms an I'm jealous your AF has arrived 🤣

Thank you for all your support messaging about meeting my friend I felt such a horrible person.. it's just so hard

Still nothing from me an the period front, I'm back to the hospital for bloods tomorrow. My consultant at the hospital is actually my consultant at the fertility clinic..

Sending all you lovelies lots of love xxxx

Thanks @hopeful182 & @ivfhope3 good luck today ladies...

But random but what are people’s thoughts on low dose aspirin? As you all know I’ve had 3 losses but on the last loss I took aspirin but still miscarried. Now I’m wondering whether to bother if I get a bfp this time as I have read it can affect implantation. What do you guys think? Xx

@Mctm123 thank you lovely.

I took everything I read with my first transfsr. I know the this one was cause I was really poorly due to OHSS An didn't get implantation,
Second one I took all meds an drank what ladies said and took what they said on another thread I got BFP an miscarried, I think this time I'm just going to use what the doctors tell me to this time not play around with stuff.

Good luck today everyone having scans, transfer, an injections... be kind to yourselfs xxxx

Thank you for your well wishes ladies. Im just on my way to the clinic now. Will let you know how I got on this afternoon, once I've slept a bit haha.

Good luck to everyone else who is having their procedures done, or are getting ready for them. X

Yes @ivfhope3 my consultant has actually recommended it from bfp but I’m still worrying. But I’ll worry if I don’t take it and worry if I do haha so can’t win!

I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable today. My right ovary is the dominant one that has more follicles in than the left and it’s really throbbing today! I don’t know if the trigger last night has given me some growth but something is going on!!

I look forward to hearing from you later @hopeful182 💓xxx

@Mctm123 I know with me im like you if I take it I worry if I don't I will lol.. our minds work in such a funny way..
It prob is the trigger shot as it's trigging ovulation. Ready for egg collection..

Good luck..

I'm waiting to go for a blood test, I've been waiting out side an hour now xx

Hey.. I'm not going to be going through another round for a while there's still pregnancy tissues in there they have found so bbq to have another ERPC to remove it. Then wait AGAIN for my period an then I can start..

So I'm looking at November December time xx good luck everyone xx

Well ladies just in way home now. We ended up with 22 eggs which is amazing as last time we only had 2. Should know over the next couple of days how they get on, and see what we are left with. Definitely ready for a sleep now. OH Iis making me a cheese and ham toasties @ivfhope3 you are to blame for that one haha. Xx

@Raggity19 I missed the last bit of your post. I was on menopur 225iu. . X

@ivfhope3 that’s so distressing you poor thing. You really have been through it! I really feel for you but hopefully after this you can move forward. Big hugs xxx

@hopeful182 22 eggs! Wow that’s fantastic! Hope your feeling ok and not too sore. Enjoy your toasty! I just fancy that now haha xxx

@hopeful182 that's amazing 22 eggs hope your ok.. haha enjoy your toastie lol..

@Mctm123 I was ok when I left the hospital now I jsut feel like shit if I'm honest.. it's been a long 11 weeks well 20 weeks altogether.. an still having to wait anyways what's meant to be will be xxx

Hope everyone is ok xx

@ivfhope3 I am so sorry that it is another delay. Hopefully they can sort out things before your next AF so you have a smoother run of things, you deserve it. Xx

@ivfhope3 so sorry to hear that. Look after yourself xxx

@hopeful182 wow!!! That’s amazing!! Well done, relax and get some rest xxx

@ivfhope3 I'm so sorry - I hope you're ok. Please take care of yourself ❤️

@hopeful182 that's a fantastic result! Get some rest and fingers crossed for the next few days.

I'm currently on day 7 of buserelin. No bleed yet but feeling rotten - nausea, my boobs are killing and I'm exhausted. I'm a fitness instructor/PT so keep finding the hormones really hard going as it's difficult to slow down.
Does anyone know when I should expect a bleed?

@West2401 I felt the same on buserelin this time round. Horrible! I bled day 9 this cycle, day 11 last so anytime around then I think xx

@West2401 I usually bleed 7 days after my period is actually due so 7 days later..
burselyn can make you feel rubbish, bless you..

Thank you all for your comments, I was ok when I came out now I feel really sad. But it what it is. Hopefully now will get sorted.

I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys ❤️❤️

@Mctm123 good luck for today. I have everything crossed for you, sending lots of virtual hugs.

Good luck to anyone else I have missed on this thread who has a scan or ER or ET today. Xx

Thanks @hopeful182 I was the first one in at half 7 this morning so I’ve just got home. 15 eggs collected which is 3 more than last time so I’m pleased with that. Just a waiting game now for fertilisation call tomo. Guess what I’m about to eat hahaha I’m craving one since you mentioned it!

Good luck for your call today! Xx

Hope you’re ok @ivfhope3 xx
