IVF/ICSI February 2024

[Sherr33]

Hi all just wanted to a thread for anyone starting February ✨ 😊

Im 33yrs old by the time my eggs are collected I'll be 34 😆
AMH = 17.9 all other parameters fine.
Partners S.A - test 1. Low morphology. test 2. Borderline everything
CARE Fertility add ons to be used - zymot and embryo glue

Starting northisterone on the 24th Jan
15/2 gonal f 225
20/02 Ganirelix joins in
23/02 scan
And potential egg collection 26/02

That's my plan 🙈
And this is our first cycle

@ImHopeful in going for a blood test on the 12th at my clinic. Trying to stay positive without stressing myself silly 🙃
Only transferred the one.

Hi sherr33 no I just had normal ivf, the doctor advised icsi if we have a future cycle, he said this can happen in 1 in every 500 ivf cycles so we just got unlucky I think!
Hope you will get the bfp soon 🤞

@Cloclo93 ohh I assumed it had been ICSI but this honestly gives me hope for you if that is the route you take next. thank you so much for the positive vibes. ❤

Hi, who is for EC this week. My own is on Friday

@Mymiraclebb I think there's 3 of you now. Yourself and @TT82 and @180monkeys good luck ❤

@Mymiraclebb hi, yes me :) on Wednesday. But no transfer, we are testing if we get any 5 day (wanted to try 1 3d transfer though, but dr said overstimulation syndrome risk). Are you doing transfer?

@TT82 i am doing fresh transfer, but I don’t know when. It will depend of the quality. Last time I did a 3 day transfer but not sure about this one.

@Sherr33 wonderful. Thank you and good luck to you too. The waiting time is not easy. Not sure if I can wait till OTD before testing.
@TT82 my last scan is in Wednesday. I do not have many follicles this time but hope for quality over quantity.

@Mymiraclebb fully agree! Unfortunately I have quantity and not quality left 😞😞 good luck on Wednesday and Friday. My hospital doesn't give information on the development, just how many collected and then in a week if any biopsied for PGTA, so I won't know for a while ☹️

Hi @Mymiraclebb my collection is Wednesday also. This is my first one. Good luck for yours!

Hope everyone is getting on ok. Has anyone had a successful BFP yet? Just wondering out of all of us I hope there is some success.

Ive just had my period after the failed fresh transfer, and have my consultation to discuss details and next steps next Monday. I’ve got this month to try naturally, so getting back to tracking and opks. Hopefully FET next cycle in April.

Hi @Eljane34 hope you are ok! And sounds like you have a solid plan moving forwards.

I think I was the first on this thread to have transfer? I joined about 2dp5dt as didn’t see this thread prior. I had it on 7 Feb and so far have kept my BFP. I have a scan tomorrow with my clinic and should be 6+5 🤞 have not commented too much as wanted to be respectful as everyone has such different process’ etc.

Hi @Eljane34 just to say I'm in a similar boat; my fresh ended in chemical, but trying naturally this cycle and planning on transferring again in April.

@Btowngirl good to see your progressing well ❤️ hearing that heartbeat will be amazing!

@MotherOfShihTzus thanks so much, so kind of you to say! We can’t wait, fingers crossed all is well xx

@Btowngirl it’s actually really nice to hear positive outcomes but understand where you are coming from. There have been a lot of losses reported here or it’s just me being new to these forums? Good luck with your scan and I wish you all the best. Nothing more beautiful than hearing that heartbeat.

@Sherr33 @TT82 all the best for today

@Btowngirl congratulation on your BFP

@Mymiraclebb I think you meant to tag @180monkeys because they both due for egg collection. Im due a blood test next week Tuesday to find out whether this round has been successful

Good Luck @TT82 and @180monkeys

@Sherr33 @Mymiraclebb thanks, I’m just home and back in bed now. Whole procedure was completely fine!

I got 19 eggs so really happy with that and am still on track for a fresh transfer which I’m happy about!

@TT82 hope your collection went well!

@180monkeys congratulations and I hope it went well for you x

Yeah @Sherr33 i mean @180monkeys and congratulation. 19 is a good number. Get a good rest.
@TT82 how are you

@Mymiraclebb @Sherr33 @180monkeys hi all, all went well, just sore now a bit. They collected 22...but dr said many were small so probably not mature. We won't have any updates till mid next week when they tell us if any were biopsied for testing.
Hope everyone is well xx

@TT82 glad yours went well also! 22 is a great number. Hope you’re getting plenty of rest and good luck for you update next week!

@180monkeys thank you! Yeah after last cycle I don't have much hope tbh, but now I cannot influence the outcome. Hope your transfer goes well soon! Xx

Hi all,

I have a low AMH 5.20, it was 10 before I had a laparoscopy which found and removed endometriosis (stage 1). Knock on effect was that my AMH reduced which I didn’t know would happen and I hadn’t even thought I would have endometriosis. They also cleared my tubes when I got this done last June. I never knew I had endometriosis so it was found during fertility investigations.

I did 5 months of TSI with no joy and in February progressed to IVF, started stims and did approx 11 days of these. Took my trigger shot on Monday night and this morning I had my egg retrieval. Scans were showing about 9/10 follicles but today we got 7 follicles = 6 eggs. Waiting game now to get to day 5. We have chosen to do ICSI. I was expecting to get even a few more eggs but I guess my low AMH needs to be factored. Has anyone had success with a similar story? Worried we won’t get enough to day 5!
