CRGH October/November IVF/ICSI 2023

[biscuitsndtea]

I will be starting my IVF with CRGH this october. Thought of creating a thread for those who are on their IVF cycle with CRGH so that we can share information, common questions etc.

Anyone interested, please join in :)

Hey there @biscuitsndtea
I've got our initial consultation with CRGH at the end of the month. Hoping to get moving ASAP. I was with another clinic but decided to switch over at the last minute. How are you feeling? 1st cycle?

@biscuitsndtea hey - I've got my first appointment in a couple of weeks time. Do you have any advice on what questions to ask at the initial appointment? So much info online and can be confusing! thanks again x How are you doing? how are you feeling? Not sure what CRGH means (very new to this all)

Hello!
can I join this thread - we are going with create Manchester :)
we will be starting our ivf too next month if all goes well at the scan next week!
quite new to it all too @biscuitsndtea so waiting for someone to enlighten us 😌 xx

Hey yall
hope all is well I was ment to start my 1st cycle of ivf icsi (at ABC Birmingham) done this month but today it’s been cancelled and I’m devastated! My husbands analysis come back with 3 sperm so we have to do multiple freezes for I can’t even start treatment so my next treatment would be my next cycle hopefully we have the numbers we need to start x

Let me know how yall getting on ill keep you updated x

Hi, hoping to join the thread :-). I will be starting my 1st cycle IVF journey this November. I am with the NHS and have all my medication here ready for CD1 to arrive mid November. X

@biscuitsndtea @Laurenm1990 @Maria12060 @SocialPR @xbiscottix

How is everyone getting on? Any advice is greatly appreciated due to start meds soon. 🙂

I’m the same….alll exciting but honestly I think my main focus is just a day at a time and talking is important x @ThesisthenaViva

Hey girls I’m getting on good thanks my meds are coming tomorrow I just brought a mini fridge for them. I should start meds next week . Right now I’m taking vitamins

@ThesisthenaViva hello! How are you doing? I’ve done 5 days of stims (Bemfola 225IU) and 2 days of cetrotide

had my scan yesterday to check follicles growth - I have a low AFC anyway and they’re all doing their own thing lol - growing at very different rates. I’m having my second scan tomorrow so will keep you ladies posted :)

not sure what they do when one follicle is way ahead of the others - do they wait for others to catch up, ignoring the leading follicle? Xx

@SocialPR Have you got a start date? Thank you for the advice. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it- mixed emotions I guess.

@xbiscottix
Is a mini fridge needed? I didn't consider that. All the best x

@Maria12060 hi there!!! Do you have regular scans? I hope the other follicles catch up. Keep us updated!!

Heyy @ThesisthenaViva its not needed but I have kids plus it’s half term my fridge right now is packed out. Iv always wanted one so I can store my baby bells and sprite and green smoothies in x

I'll be taking bemfola 150ui I'm worried about OHSS
Does everyone have their start dates x

@xbiscottix why not treat yourself? How many children do you have? We are hoping this cycle will bring our first. Start date looks like the last week in November. When are you starting?

@ThesisthenaViva yes that's what I was thinking I do want something for my munchies at night. I have 4 kids x

I'm starting next week

Good luck everyone starting, I am looking to start around 12th November 🤞 feeling nervous but also happy to finally be starting. X

Hi all, I thought I would join the thread as I’m currently in cycle with CRGH too. My last cycle elsewhere was cancelled so hoping for more luck this time. I’m low Amh, late thirties.

@xbiscottix wishing you all the best for #5!

@Laurenm1990 starting pretty soon then. Are you doing a fresh transfer?

@Foodie68 I'm with CRGH too. I think the thread has evolved into other clinics. What consultant have you got?

@ThesisthenaViva I’m with Dr Saab, he seems good so far!

@ThesisthenaViva hoping mid November how are you getting on! All unknown and be interested to see the side effects on the medication. How about you?

@xbiscottix hey reading your posts and seeing how you are getting on? Starting hopefully my cycle soon and seeing how open and honest you are about the treatment! How is it all going

Hey
@ThesisthenaViva thank you i hope i will have a number #5 x
