Update.. Endo & IVF.. 1 step closer!

[Jasmeet1991mb]

Hi everyone,

Been a few months since I've last posted, and just wanted to update you all on my journey so far. Funding went through last year Dec (2019) and it's been a nightmare trying to get scans/ appointments around dates before and after my period. There was a slight confusion that my GP then requested an appointment for me to see general gynacologist at UCHL whilst I'm having my IVF treatment so that delayed an extra month... as I needed my 3D dummy embryo transfer Saline SIS scan. Finally booked in for tmro.

From my Antral follicle count I got 24 follicles and AMH is 29... quite shocked, but on my scan my womb did show a slight shadow.. which there not to stressed about but it explains why every month in my bleed I always get a slight tissue that comes out. They had a name for it... which I've forgotten.

They have now decided if they were to drain endo... it could cause an infection which is a hostile area for a embryo my consultant who is a specialist in endo & IVF recommended he doesn't want to touch the cyst. And they are going to take follicles from my left ovary. My concerns that I now need to find out is if the cyst doesn't get treated can it effect the current follicles that are on my right ovary.

Another concern I have is... even though my AMH is high and follicle count, because I'm 28yrs old... I'm at risk of OSHH but my fears are I've never had a positive could this actually work. I've been nothing but positive and optimistic looking into what the future in 6months could look like. But my 3D SIS is tommorow at 2.30pm and I guess nerves are kicking in as it's suppose to be painful and I'm worried. Like imagine going though all this pain.... And my dreams get crushed.

I know I'm not the only person to feel and experience this feeling but I guess... things are starting to feel abit more real. Even thou I haven't had my treatment protocol session with hubby yet it's on 1st April. My birthday is March 21st n hubbys birthday is 6th april. like the most important session is between our birthdays... I feel nervous and scared, positive but also like is it a sign like hello. Look at the timing between our birthdays. I pictured last year, that 2020 hubbys birthday imagine popping the news on a written msg on his birthday cake lol.

I am a big balls of nerves and emotions.. emotions are running wild. And I think I need to 100% hit gym tommorow morning before I go to my appointment have a fresh bikini wax and get my eyebrows done.. to help lift my mood.

I must be making a few people laugh like what a nutter. But please reach out if it's normal to go from 0 to 100 mega quick and have many mixed emotions.. And anyone here also on a battling endo and going through IVF whilst they left your endo cyst there.

Please share your story. Xx

Hi Jasmeet lovely. I'm not battling endo specifically (I only have a small amount), but we're all battling similar things on here and so I wanted to give my support to you. And to let you know that 100% emotions being up, down, and all over the place immediately and without warning is completely normal! Probably to prepare us for pregnancy 😉

Good luck with your Saline SIS today. Sounds like you're in a good place with high AMH, good follicle count, and ready to start the ball rolling in April! Good news that your specialist doesn't want to touch your cyst also. I would trust them! And the less messing about in there the better!

Lots of love xxx

Thank you for your sweet message and support 😘.. yeah just emotions going from 0 to 100. Maybe it is trying to just prepare us for pregnancy. Yeah your right they are the experts they do know best, but sometimes I just sit and think there's a few odds against us. How can it actually be possible. Even thou the science in the lab and the blastocysts they only select good quality and transfer.. But I'm not not looking forward to today. I'm not looking forward to being pocked and pressed and messed about down there. I know its going to be dreadful.

How was your 3D saline SIS? Is it really uncomfortable?

Have a good day 💗

I don't think I've actually had a saline SIS, but I've had hysterosalpingogram, which I think is similar but with an X-ray instead of an ultrasound. From looking at my blog (for myself) when I had the HSG (Feb 2018!!!) - I had decided it was uncomfortable, but not even as bad as period cramps. Hopefully yours isn't too bad for you. BTW I am very USED TO being pressed and messed about down there as that is a main part of the IVF journey lol! So that's become second nature now. Sadly. x
