Officially started egg donor cycle!!

β€’33 Replies

Just wanted to share that we've officially started our DE cycle! Had my decapeptyl injection to down ref this morning & spent the rest of the day with stomach & back cramps! Not too bad though, could be worse!

Excited, nervous & scared but can't wait to get to the next stage. Start my estrogen patches on day 1 of my next period which should be within the next 10 days apparently.

Good luck to you all using a DE! How do you go about finding or choosing a DE? X

β€’ in reply toScarlett13

Thank you 😊 xx

My clinic is in Spain where donors are 100% anonymous & therefore the clinic choose for me. There's no waiting list or anything unlike the UK.

I see you are waiting to have your first ivf cycle. When are you due to start? Are you NHS funded? Xxx

I'm starting in October and I'll be NHS funded for 2 rounds. Feeling excited but trying to remain realistic x

β€’ in reply toScarlett13

Well, good luck!! I will look forward to hearing your updates too! Are you just waiting forever your day1 now? Exciting times but hope you aren't as impatirnt as me!! My best advice is to try (!) and relax & be patient! Try the Calm app, there are loads of free meditation sessions on there & a couple of sleep stories. I was so anxious in my last cycle that I couldn't sleep & the sleep stories were the only thing that would send me off. I've used them ever since! Xxx

Good luck. Do you know your anticipated transfer date.

I hope to see more posts on how you are progressing.

β€’ in reply toDC13

Absolutely no idea unfortunately! My clinic do things a little differently & I've been told it's usually between day 12-45 of endometrial preparation. Basically, if the donor doesn't respond as well as they like then they'll pick another donor so there would be a delay. Let's hope that doesn't happen - I'm impatient at the best of times!! πŸ˜‚ Can't start the endometrial prep until Aunt Flo arrives so just waiting for her now, fingers crossed I'm not waiting too long. Am excited (& impatient πŸ˜‰) to get moving!!

Thank you for your message xx

Wishing you all the best. Are you going abroad?

I am just going into another round with frozen DE after we miscarried our first fresh little one earlier in the year and thdn had a failed FET.

Hope you get a match quickly.

Please keep in contact if I can help with anything.

Xx

We are using a clinic in Barcelona who are amazing but with hindsight I would probably consider somewhere slightly less expensive to stay than in a city!! I can't fault the clinic though.

I'm so sorry, it must be heartbreaking to have gotten so far and then miscarried. My heart goes out to you and I admire your strength.

When do you start your treatment? Xxxx

Treatment for us in Alicante.

Start real cycle later this week.

Had a load of extra tests performed the other month on Erp mapping. Immunology etc.

I have the philosophy of it will be what it will be.

It's a hard journey for all of us.

Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.
