The New IVF/IUI Thread - 5BFPs!

[gemmainthesun]

I'm on 200 3 times!! Well every 8 hours which is abit weird cos I'm normally awake about 15 hours x

 

[gemmainthesun]

Sorry every 6 hours x

 

[gemmainthesun]

No sorry 8, it's weird cos If I take it at 9 I have to take again at 5 but then I'm not up till 1am, I kind of just take one early, one about 4ish then one before bed, hope that's ok

 

[Chazabell]

I cant remember what I was on last time, wether it was 200mg or 400mg. AF arrived 4 days early tho!

I have a sore boob left boob has been sore/ tender for a few weeks and I assume its the injections, and now its worse and right boob is catching up! xx

Thanks Chaz, appreciate the info.

I'm itching to get cracking, literally just waiting for the letter for our first appointment with the IUI clinic... Excited but also very nervous! The biggest thing for me at the mo is making sure my BMI is where it should be (29) to qualify, if it's not, I get pushed back to my consultant and he's already been so good with us... I've lost 1 stone 5 pounds so far, got another 5 pounds to go! x

 

[gemmainthesun]

So I was just bored and have 5hpt at my disposal haha, not good to have too much time on my hands, and anyway I just did one on a whim, and obviously it was bfn. I've categorically decided no more now until 1 week tomoz which is when me and DH have decided to do it. I'm only 8dp2dt. That's obviously too early to test isn't it? At least I know triggers out of my system x

Congrats on your weight loss Miss July, that's a lot!

Went for blood test & scan today. Cried when they tried to take my blood but couldn't get any out of the vein & were rooting the needle around inside my arm to try & find some.

Scan showing no signs of hyperstimulation so they may stop the blood tests (yes please!!!)

A number of follicles, all below the magic size of 18 mm, but 1 around 16 mm, 2 around 14 mm then roughly one at 13, 12, 11, 10, 9 and quite a few little ones.

Have been told that the earliest I'll be having egg collection is Wednesday.

Ladies who've already had IVF before - how many follicles did you have growing while you were stimming?

 

[gemmainthesun]

I wasn't too sure but about 11 or 12 I think, and half were only 13mm 2 days before ER but ended up getting 15 eggs of which 14 mature x

 

[tinselcat]

Hey gemma, that's good to know - 15 to me sounds like a great number to get

I started worrying that, after all this talk of OHSS, I'm not producing enough eggs!

 

[gemmainthesun]

Right guys just to let u know I'm coming off internet until week 2moz, cos I'm just googling everything, I'm stressing myself out and I need to be away from it all, so it's going away. I will obviously be back on once I've tested next week to tell you the outcome xxx

 

[tinselcat]

wishing you all the best, gemma!!! xxxx

 

[MissJuly10]

Thanks Tinselcat, it's taken me ages to lose it though but I've slowly got there. Just hope I can lose the last few pounds before my appointment! x

 

[Chazabell]

My goodness this place goes quiet when people are in the 2ww (I was the same) we all vanish because we cant stop googling! lol

Wishing you all the best Gemma. And yes it was a little early to test but at least your trigger has gone so when you get your BFP you know its real

Miss J that is an amazing weightloss, go you. I bet you feel great. A friend f mine decided to diet with slimming world and has lost a stone in just a month or so, their recepies are fab, especially the pulled pork and chilli.....try googling it

Tinselcat...plenty of time for those little follicles to grow keep up with the protein xxx

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Wishing you lots of luck Gemma, I know how horrible it can be to just google everything so staying off sounds like a great idea.

Tinslecat that all sound pretty good, I had about 24 follicles growing and on my last scan 2 days before I triggered I had 3 above 18mm and another 11 between 14-17mm they all ended up containing an egg and only 1 wasn't mature.

 

[Clairabella]

That's a great weight loss miss July x

 

[JJ Mum]

Wow its all go on here, gemma hope to see you back next week with your bfp x

Good luck in your iui 2ww chaz

Update from the lovely Lou, she only went and got hersrlf her first two frozen blastos!!!! Whoop whoop
Another week left till testing i think ,,eeek

 

[Vickyxx]

Mega loads of baby dust to all you ladies in your 2WW keeping everything crossed for your bfp's.

Well done on your weight loss Miss J xx

JJ thanks for the Lou update i have been trying to find out how she has been doing but she seems to have fallen off the grid at the moment, please keep us updated on her progress, really hope this one works for her xx

 

[tinselcat]

Great news about Lou!

I had another scan this morning, and follicles of note (there aren't that many, but oh well) are now:

19, 17, 17, 16, 14, 13, 13, 11

So the top 4 have grown 3mm in the last 2 days, and the smaller 4 have grown just 2mm.

Am waiting on results of blood tests to decide when I trigger - egg collection will either be on Wed/Thu.
Sadly the leading follicle will probably be too big by then, but hopefully some of the smaller ones will start to catch up!

 

[tinselcat]

Egg collection set for Thursday, which conveniently misses all the job interviews I've scheduled this week (on Tue & Wed)

Guess I'm gonna lose the big follicle by it being too mature by then, but hopefully some of the weeny ones will catch up in that time!

p.s. whereabouts do you inject your trigger shot - is it same place as all the other drugs?

 

[gemmainthesun]

Yes it won't make a difference, good luck x
