Hi baby4ever it is were doing egg sharing we can't wait to get started we've been with a different clinic for a about 3and a half years and still waiting so I rang a new clinic and we've only been with them a month had all the tests and everything done and now seeing doctor on 2nd of September and should get a start date finally getting some were strange how different clinics can be xx
I'm glad you're getting a second opinion and finally getting somewhere! 3 1/2 yrs is too long to wait!
I spent the last year thinking I was in the 'unexplained infertility category' because the previous RE was too quick to give us that diagnosis after the previous urologist didn't do a thorough analysis of my dh.
We lost 3 months with the previous RE and moved onto a new RE and urologist and the new urologist discovered it was male factor infertility.
I'm a true believer in second opinions!! It saved us from not knowing something truly was going on and knowing there was but wasn't proven.
Thank you so much baby4ever means a lot I'm so glad we've gone somewhere else hoping we be starting soon glad u got a proper dignoasis hoping it works for u as I know this is your last time wishing u all the best xx
You are welcome! I really hope the new RE is much better and can help you achieve your goal!
This is my first IVF but prior to that we did 5 months of IUI's, 2 of which were cancelled due to overstimulation and 3 didn't work. The 2 cancelled and 1 IUI was with my previous RE. This won't be our last try as we just got started with IVF...
Hi baby4ever sorry I got u mixed up with someone else I think u have the same picture sorry well all the best and thank you I'm hoping new clinic is much better to thanks xx
Tomorrow is the big day for you!!! I can imagine how excited you must feel bc pretty soon you'll be pupo! Tomorrow is my beta day and I can't wait to be officially pregnant! Lol. Good luck tomorrow :)
Baby4ever, I will do follistim (112iu) and menopur (75iu) for 3 days then on the fourth day bloodwork and u/s. I also have Lupron, ganirelex, endometrium, ziphormax and Estrace... I'm not sure what any of those are for.
Expecting: I think I'm going to wait for beta. Don't think I'd be able to handle seeing a bfn if this cycle doesn't work! I mean we put everything we've got into this and honestly I'd probably have a slight mental breakdown if it didn't work. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow!
Vallad: I was on 10 days of Gonal F and took my last shots yesterday!! Usually your RE will have you on stims for 8-10 days max depending on how you respond. If you're on day 5 you'll have at least 5 more days left for stims then trigger and retrieval at 36 hrs later. Which will put you at either a Saturday or Sunday ER depending on if your RE is open on Sunday's.
My RE isn't so I fell on a Saturday as the last day for stims calling for a Monday ER.

How are you doing so far?

Beaglelove: Wow! That's quite a protocol! I complained for just taking 2 shots a day. How do you do it without going insane!
Here is a link that gives the names and explains the function of the IVF meds.
