IVF April 2025

[waitingforourmiracle]

Thought I'd start a thread for anyone starting IVF/ICSI in April! This is going to be round 2 for me, I'm currently waiting for my period to start so I can book my pre-treatment appointment and typical, I'm a week late with no signs of AF! Joys of PCOS and irregular cycles!

Be nice to have some company! 💛

Im on long protocol and down regulation etc too

Maybe diff meds hence some of mine in fridge.

Theres was cancelled due to a cyst found apparently

@Miraclemuma03 I've had that same headache every day since day 1, some days worse than others! Hope it's calmed down now

Sorry I've been MIA all weekend, been visiting family! I did my trigger injection last night at 10.30 and egg collection is tomorrow morning, still feeling pretty relaxed about it! I'm sure the nerves will kick in once I've finished work today. I hate the unknown and not knowing the outcome, that's the hardest part for me!

Hope everyone is doing okay and all injections haven't been too bad for anyone.

Also sending lots of love for yesterday, I know mothers day isn't the easiest but we all survived it and hopefully next year we are all celebrating being mothers or mothers to be 💛

Sending you all the luck 4 your eC

I promise that headache does eventually go away but my bad is it awful.
I had it for 10 days last 2cycles and 3 days this time. Gone now though.

I have my tracking scan Friday to get egg collection date for next week.
Im so happy but pensive. After so many failures etc I don't wanna get my hopes up.

Sending you all the luck

@waitingforourmiracle good luck for EC tomorrow x

Oh no hope it settles. I’ve felt so nauseous today struggling to eat my normal lower carb diet. Did not expect to feel this rough

Hi all, I am on day 1 of stims today. Had my first injection today. They were not bad, easier than expected.

what dose and meds are you alll on?

@MrsMc14 the last time I did stims was back in 2021 so this is my first cycle in 4yrs. That's so good how relaxed you are about it all. I'm pretty much just going in with whatever happens happens and we will deal with it when it happens. Hoping that works for us lol

@waitingforourmiracle good luck for ec . I hope you get a good number of eggs.

Low ones

As high ohss risk

Day 6 of stims today and all symptoms besides feeling tired have gone so hoping it means iv settled into the medications, hoping they are doing everything they need to do. 6 more days to go on the stims. For everyone else who have started their stims, how are you feeling? Can't believe we are in April already. Hope this is our month.

Ovaleap 300 what about you?

Not sure the meds in Australia are the same or have the same name but I started on puregon 200 then added in a couple of days later orgalutran 250.

@Twofromanotherkindi am on gonal F 300 at the moment and adding a second injection on day 6

Bruselin
For me

( however its spelt )

Are any of you taking any supplements or eating anything differently? Im so nervous for egg collection as I have low amh. Im trying to keep myself as occupied as possible.

3 satsumas a day for vit c

Mediterranean diet as per my consultant advice - chicken , veg , salmon etc..

Iron rich foods - eggs, iron rich cereal

I make sure i get at least 5 fruit veg a day

I eat apricots
Dried apricots
As they help my iron / feretin

Good feretin is important 4 maintaining pregnancy

I take 1000 iu vit d daily

( helps against miscarriage)

My friend has very low amh and shes due in sept

I have been trying to follow low carb mostly eating more veggies. Although yesterday went to pot because I felt so sick. Also been having extra vitamin d and co enzyme q10, n-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid and melatonin I’ve just added in. No idea if it makes any difference.

Someone told me to eat salmon which I do anyways and they mentioned steak once a week.
tried to up my fibre and protein.
fruit Juices
plenty of water.
electrolytes. I’ve been taking liquid iv as soon I started stims.
I take vit d tabs also.

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all doing OK <3

I had IVF/ICSI in 2022 which resulted in the birth of our daughter. We were successful on our second transfer and we are so grateful!

About to start a new round and hoping for more good news. I am 34, AMH 17, will be starting Gonal F from 3rd April and adding Fyremadel from the 8th April. Estimated collection on 14th! Also have some progesterone injections ready for before transfer and beyond.

I did every trick in the book first time around, including acupuncture and sessions with a natural fertility specialist, but this time all I am doing is taking a fertility vit...we will see! A little tip my accupuncturist shared with me was to make sure you cut out cheese before your transfer as it can alter the lining of your uterus. Probably the only bit of information I have retained from last time!

I really enjoy the comraderie on these forums and look forward to sharing this journey with you all :)

Steak every so often = yum AND good for iron :)

I’m also giving beetroot juice a try from yesterday. Even though I I don’t like beetroot juice:D

Same - i bought some - dont like it tho

Its weird - i like actual beetroot

But not beet root juice
