Menopur day 10 scan and nothing........

[Patientpolly]

The consultant is allowing another few days to see if something will happen but it looks like my body is just not responding to the ivf treatment. Feeling very low.

Hi Patientpolly,

In my first cycle I was slow to respond, the clinic upped the meds & we did get some follicles with eggs in them. If I remember correctly we were on on the menopur for nigh on 3 weeks, even though it was supposed to be a short cycle.

Take care & all the best.

Hannah

Hi Patientpolly

I am at day 19 of injections of gonal f at the highest dose & luveris, and been scanned & bloods taken 6 times in last 11 days. To say I feel like a pin cushion is an understatement.

As much as I have been responding to the treatment it had been really slow. And on Wednesday last week the nursing staff were basically telling us to be prepared for the treatment to stop. Thankfully I continued to respond & we are going for egg retrieval on Thursday, three weeks after starting. So don't worry, keep your chin up. Believe me it a serious roller coaster if emotions. But you will hopefully get there in the end.

IVF brings a whole range of emotions. I feel I've experienced them all apart from the joy of a successful pregnancy. I hope you've got some follicles growing.

Hi Hannah banana went for my day 14 scan today and still nothing absolutely devastated they r giving me 6 more days but it would appear that's it for me. This was my last chance so it looks like this is the end of the road for me..... Words just can describe how gutted I am. It will take a complete miracle now xx

Hi my first cycle was similar to yours and ended without getting to egg collection. I went onto have 2 more cycles where my body responded better to the treatment but I was still unsuccessful. i'm hoping for better luck in 2014 when I'm going to have 1 last go. there is always hope. wishing u well and sending you all the luck in the world.
