Is it too soon?

Hi Is anyone starting IVF in January/February next year?

We had our first failed IVF cycle in October and looking to go for our second cycle but the way my periods are it falls over xmas when they are shut.

So we are starting in Jan :)

Fingers crossed @Lola98!

MF1981 · 19/01/2021 14:39

@thirteen92 I was scared for my EC too and told the anaesthetist that I knew it was only sedation but to make sure I didn’t wake up. He said he couldn’t guarantee it but actually I slept through the whole thing and only woke up when they accidentally bashed the bed against the wall taking me into recovery! From what I hear on these forums, the majority of people sleep through it so try not to worry but make them aware of your concerns in clinic on the day.

That’s good news @Lola98 congrats on being PUPO!!

@Gardenlady543 @MF1981 thank you 😊🤞

I'm on day 7 of stims - and the EWCM is in full flow 🤦🏽‍♀️ how did I forget about this from cycle 1 to 2?!

@thirteen92 looks like we're the same timeline so far. My scan is tomorrow 🤞🏼✨ my first cycle took me 13 days of stims

@thirteen92 and @unknownscot, I'm on the same timeline as you guys. I started stims last Wednesday and also have my first scan on Friday. Hoping for a Monday EC.
I'm on 200 Menopur/day.

I've had really bad headache the first couple of days but have been absolutely fine since. How are you guys holding up?

unknownscot · 19/01/2021 15:42

@jonrik yes, I had terrible headaches but seem to be okay now.

I am also on 200IU menopur. It's nice to have fellow thread members on the same
Timeline as you

@unknownscot I was so surprised the sheer volume of EWCM 😂. I regularly felt as though I needed to change my underwear during the day!

kikisparks · 19/01/2021 15:50

@Lola98 congrats on being PUPO! Fingers crossed for you.

unknownscot · 19/01/2021 16:00

@PT8998 Yup, that's me today 😂😂

Lola98 · 19/01/2021 16:00

@kikisparks thank you 😊 🤞

PT8998 · 19/01/2021 16:03

@Lola98 good luck! Keeping everything crossed for you!

thirteen92 · 19/01/2021 16:17

@MF1981 thank you! I really home I’m chilled out for it.

@unknownscot oh wow how exciting!!! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! No EWCM for me though yet!

@jonrik ohh maybe I’ll have EC Monday! I’m praying for positive news on Friday 🤞🏻 I’ve been fine during stims. No side effects at all but today I’ve had the worst headache ever. I feel like I’ve got major brain fog and I just want to sleep. How are you feeling?

Lola98 · 19/01/2021 16:18

@PT8998 thank you 🤞

hopefully21 · 19/01/2021 16:27

@thirteen92 @unknownscot and @jonrik I'm on the same time line. I'm on day 8 of stims. 30ul menopur 150ul gonalf and .25 cetrotide. First scan tomorrow. How are you all feeling? The tiredness hit me yesterday. Also I hate mixing cetrotide! I already messed up one vile. Luckily I had another.

Gardenlady543 · 19/01/2021 16:28

Sounds like others are getting side effects from meds too, this is my first FET cycle, I’m on day 7 of estradiol and I feel nauseated continuously. It’s a common side effect from this med but erg is it annoying.

My first scan is Friday with the transfer window starting from a week on Friday, I just want to finish taking this stuff ASAP.

unknownscot · 19/01/2021 16:37

@hopefully21

I'm feeling okay - the headaches have gone. I'm not sleeping great at night but don't know if that's related to IVF or not? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just trying to stay sane with staying at home! My husband is working away just now so doubt he will be back for EC but we're hoping he makes it 🤞🏼✨

PT8998 · 19/01/2021 18:06

@Gardenlady543 hope transfer happens for you soon! I have estradiol here too - I am now very much not looking forward to taking it! 😂

Emmalouise11 · 19/01/2021 19:01

Thanks @Mancbear88 fingers crossed. x

And fingers crossed for you @Lola98 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Birdladybird · 19/01/2021 19:20

I’ve had my EC today. 9 eggs but only 4 mature enough for IMSI. Will find out from the biologist on Friday morning if we can transfer Friday afternoon 🤞🏻

hopefully21 · 19/01/2021 19:20

@unknownscot I hope your husband makes it back. I'm not sleeping well either and en i do I'm having very strange vivid dreams. Egg collection next week. I might find out the date tomorrow at scan. My husband isn't allowed in due to covid.

MF1981 · 19/01/2021 19:55

@hopefully21 @unknownscot I’m sleeping ok but having crazy vivid dreams - wake up feeling tired and like I’ve been running around all night! Glad it’s not just me!

MF1981 · 19/01/2021 19:55

@Birdladybird 🤞🏻

PT8998 · 19/01/2021 20:27

@Birdladybird hope EC went well for you! Fingers crossed for Friday! 🤞🏼

EasterBunny7 · 19/01/2021 20:36

Is it true that success rates go up with each round of ivf that you do?
