[allieb21 in reply to Olivia1980xxx]

Hi Hun. How'd you get on?

300too as have low amh! Just praying it all works out x

[Olivia1980xxx in reply to allieb21]

This was my sec cycle Hun. In first one I was on menopur 150 ..BFN .... this time gonal f but I did well 😃 I didn't have low amh they just want to change things in this cycle . By giving me 300 considering my age almost 36 they want to stimulate my ovary to maximum . They collect 6 eggs went down to 3 then they put 5day blastocyst grade A and one they freeze . Im 10weeks +3days ☺️ Still hard to believe that my dream come true ☺️☺️

That's awesome news Olivia... my wife's just about to start her meds. She's the 39, let's hope n pray it works.... we are so wishing to be parents now

Hi allieb21, I too should be about to start my first round! My cycle was put off last month as I didn't get a bleed and then once I was scanned they said it was too late to start, so had to wait a month and heading in tomorrow for scan to see if I can start as I may not bleed again. So my mess have been sitting in the cupboard for what seems like ages! I'm on different meds, Burselein and fostimon. I too have low AMh and on short protocol. All the best to you and yes I think stay calm and relaxed....if that's possible! Are you juggling work also? I am but hoping to take time off inbetween EC and ET and maybe some after depending on how things go. Xx

[allieb21 in reply to londonrc]

Hi hun!

My bleed should come this weekend although I've been having cramps for at least a week it's wrecking my head!

I'm on short protocol too so we will be pretty much cycle buddies

Yes I am juggling both. I'm a secondary teacher and head of year. In a school that's in special measures 😬 but whilst I'm not usually off, I've said to myself it's me first so will take what ever I feel I need. Some people above at work know what's going on and I have their support. Xxx

[londonrc]

Hi again, it's crazy isn't it for so long you don't want your period to come and now we both do! Glad they are supportive at work, my bosses are too but it's just my other colleagues who I just don't want to tell. Feeling quite private about it all and it's so weird that normally you tell your boss you are pregnant and now I'm telling him...I may get pregnant through treatment ! In a normal situation you wouldn't discuss your personal life with your boss it just all seems weird to me. Anyway, that aside yes hopefully we will be cycle buddies. Have you got an apt booked in or did they say go in after your first day of bleeding? Are you private or nhs? I'm private in London. X

[allieb21 in reply to londonrc]

That's so weird, all that you've said about your boss knowing is all I've said before! I said it's like asking permission to go get pregnant! It's hard as usually you say nothing till 3 months but now some people know what's going on as it moves along.

No I've just to wait till bleed starts and then phone. Am on NHS. First cycle out of 2 but hoping I won't need 2nd!

I'm in Essex so not far really

Really hope you've a positive outcome xxx

[londonrc]

You too. Stay in touch and keep me posted. X

[Hidden]

Good luck! Same as me! We are all set to go just waiting for Mother Nature which should be early next week hopefully if not we have to wait until after Christmas!! We are on holiday this week and I'm sort of wishing it away but we jam packed this week so I don't have to think about it xx

[allieb21 in reply to Hidden]

Hi Hun I'm the same am on school hols for 2 weeks. Wanting the bulk of the treatment done before I go back as well.

Good luck too!

You on long or short? X

[Hidden in reply to allieb21]

I'm on the short one. Just can't wait now 😬 X

[sanj76 in reply to Hidden]

Likewise

[sanj76]

My wife collected hers last week (there was a lot of them hey), she will be starting tomorrow... best of luck allie

[allieb21 in reply to sanj76]

Thank you and best of luck to you both

[Mel77]

Brave lady you are! Wish you the best

And I like your positive outlook so much! When we started our 1st round de ivf treatment I was scared of needles to death. Silly thing, really. I was extremely aware of how the meds would affect my heath and body. But the devil is not as black as he's painted. After the draining 2ww I consider this fear to be the tiniest.

Good luck, hun! X
