I have my scratch, internal scan and trail retrieval booked for Wednesday. I am excited as it all is starting to feel real.. fingers crossed for anyone doing a cycle around the same time, it would be great to connect xx

Hi, good luck with your everything! I just wondered about the endo scratch is it supposed to make your chances greater? I am not on the ivf journey yet but am not far away and just trying to learn as much as possible! Xx

[Montgomery2 in reply to Jemvcook]

Yes it’s supposed to increase chances. I’m NHS and have the scratch, glue and embryoscope included I feel very lucky as I’ve seen they increase chances and cost a fair amount of money private xx

[Jemvcook in reply to Montgomery2]

Ah pleased they are offering you those options on the NHS! What’s embryoscope? Xx

[Tezzabell86 in reply to Jemvcook]

An embryoscope is where they take pictures of the embryo every 10 minutes to determine the best quality eggs. We had it when we went through our first round of IVF and I’m now 19 weeks pregnant xxx

I have my scratch booked for Saturday and start my meds on Monday so all feeling very real here too. I'm having my injection lesson tomorrow - eek! When do you start your meds? Are you on the long or short protocol? X

[Montgomery2 in reply to Hidden]

I’m on Norethindrone already I started on the 27th Feb, stop them next Friday and start injections on the 23rd March, we are long protocol but had to have extra long due to Easter and the clinic being shut. Appointment on weds is an injection teach, internal scan, scratch and trial collection. Xx

Good luck! Am just ahead of you with my cycle. You are very lucky to be getting all of that on the NHS xx

[Montgomery2 in reply to cls37]

I know right! It’s a brand new clinic it’s mainly private but does NHS as well, I think it’s just because they have the equipment already x

I’m on the pill at the moment and had my scratch on Friday. I’m due for egg collection at the beginning of April (for the 3rd time due to never having frosties 😕) First time having the scratch so fingers crossed it makes a difference. Good luck on your journey! X

[Montgomery2 in reply to Lamorna80]

My egg collection is 4th April x

Hi, I have my Endo Scratch on Thursday. I start my DR drugs on the same day (double whammy!) hope it all goes OK for you. Intrigued as the how the Endo Scratch goes as I’m a bit nervous about that 😬 xx

[Montgomery2 in reply to SES84]

I’m weds and have DR until the 18th then a 5 day break for a bleed. And start injections on 23rd March x

[SES84 in reply to Montgomery2]

Hope it all went ok today x

[Montgomery2 in reply to SES84]

Yes all went well, lots of follicles risk of OHSS, easy practice and my scratch hurt but didn’t stop me doing much after the 2nd hour still had a nap though 😂 x
