Waiting to start. 🙄

[TerryNaples]

Hi wonderful people!

Apparently I’ve to call the clinic first day of my next month period (again 😞) to try and see when they can fit me for day21 bloods and MCCT (holy Christmas shut down 😂).

As it’s only a waiting game, I’m just curious to see if any of you is, or has been, on my same protocol and I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

In the meantime, pregnancy dust to you all (my best friend is 12weeks pregnant, and I’m actually spending half of my time hugging her, apparently it’s contagious 😂)!

Xxx Terry

I’m due to start round 2 soon, I’ll be on short protocol, 100 gonal f & 125 cetrotide (I have PCOS) Hoping for better luck this time as my first cycle was abandoned due to OHSS. My best friend is pregnant also, I’ll need to give the hug thing a try 😂😂 very best of luck to you ✨💕xxx

Oh I’m sorry to hear about your first cycle! I’m frightened about developing OHSS!

Best of luck for your 2nd cycle, it will go better! Xxx

I don’t know yet what my meds will be, I hope I’ll know at my next appointment..

I'm on the same protocol! I've had the day 21 blood tests (only took about 10 mins) and I'm now waiting for my period to arrive (sometime this week) to then phone for my scan... I keep getting slightly excited but then remember that it probably won't work the first time.

Oh I’m happy you’re close to the actual start! Good luck 🍀

And please, don’t lose hope in the meanwhile. There’s lot of people having success on the first try!

Keep me posted xxx

Hi!

I rang my clinic on day 1 of my periods. Had my bloods and urine tests down for the relevant tests. Then on day 21 I started my meds. I’m 2 days in to my first lot of injections and feel fine, no different yet. However I was told by my nurse of the potential mood swings and headaches I may have. So my OH has already said he be out the way 😂

Good luck and keep us posted.

Sending lots of luck xx

Well done! Good luck with your meds, and keep me posted! Xx

I think I’m gonna start stims directly, no down reg, as I’m on “natural cycle” protocol.

PS: My OH said the same 😂

Good luck to you! I hope this works for you. Just stay positive and strong. We often ignore this but trust me this will have a positive impact on your process. I know the waiting time can be a bit too long. However, it will all be worth it in the end. Do keep us updated! Sending baby dust your way.

Thank you! I try to keep positive and motivated all the time actually. But, as an anxious person, it’s difficult to stay sane during waiting. And every single time that I get closer, there’s a reason for a delay 😂

I’m getting crazy, and my poor OH is already too 😂

What stage are you? Xxx
