Good news sarah!! Are you on a long or short protocol for your fresh cycle?

I'm on long, and will be a couple of weeks behind you 😁 xx

[Sarah83ap in reply to Italy300618]

Short. I’m due to start around the 26th... how much longer is long? I did that in my first go as I had the scratch but can’t recall the timings xx good luck!! Xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Sarah83ap]

It's an extra 2 weeks 😫 I've only ever done short, so this is going to feel like forever, but hopefully we will see an improvement. Wishing you lots of luck xxx 🤞🥰

[Sarah83ap in reply to missyb88]

Yay!! Are you doing anything in prep? I’m doing fertility yoga 2-3 times a week and trying to eat healthy! Xx

Hi Sarah83ap, I am currently on my 1st cycle 8th day of injections.I was super scared on the injections but I have gotten used to them.....I am now just afraid,we are using DHs frozed vials from TESE I hope all goes well.Its a very emotional journey.All the very best!!

[Sarah83ap in reply to Cheles]

Ahhh lots of luck to you! I know it’s a rollercoaster isn’t it. Fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby xx have you had any scans yet? X

[Cheles in reply to Sarah83ap]

I have had 2 scans already and doc says it all looks good,we have enough eggs thus far,planning for egg retrieval in 5 days time. I was 1st put on primolut N to schedule my bleeding then started the injections on day 2.

[Sarah83ap in reply to Cheles]

How exciting!! Not long now 🧡

Hi Sarah83ap! Excited for you that you've got a start date. I'll be starting my injections on 4th June and feel so lucky my clinic have got up and running again quickly. Trying to work out what to do to prep - I fell off the healthy wagon when they cancelled my cycle and thought it would be 6 months min before started up again. What's fertility yoga? 😊

[Sarah83ap in reply to Purple276]

Hey, I know what you mean! I had a full on night out style drink after my ectopic which I felt I deserved (hadn’t had a drink since Xmas) and had a two week binge on food but I’d say I’ve been fairly good since then, Maybe not as good as I was in jan/feb but I’m back to that now. I really got into normal yoga at my gym after Xmas to help with stress and circulation. Well since being locked down I’ve just been putting yoga on you tube and there are a few fertility yoga sessions on there. They are designed to help with circulation in the uterus which is one of the things that can help with implantation xx

[Purple276]

Oh so sorry to hear that and you definitely need the odd blow out when going through those experiences. Plus taking the expensive vitamins for years and trying to be healthy can be tough to not feel we're missing out on normal life. One plus I guess that nothing is really normal at the movement.

I would swim 3x a week so really missing that. Thanks for the yoga tip will check some of those out on YouTube.

Take care and good luck x

[Sarah83ap in reply to Purple276]

lots of luck to you aswell! I’ll look out for your posts! Xx

[Hope04]

I’m starting the 26th too but on long protocol!

My last IVF cycle was short protocol (and over 3 years ago!) so I’m feel a little anxious to do it all again!

I see you’re doing fertility yoga which I’ll have a go at. Anything else you’re doing to prep?

I’ve got my love back for running the past few months but I know I’ll have to stop once I start stimming so want to try and do other things instead!

Xx

[Sarah83ap in reply to Hope04]

I’m going for a walk every day and eating healthy and on vitamins like cq10 and vit D. My consultant put me on melatonin as he said it can improve egg quality... so giving that a go.

Are you doing anything else? Xx

[Hope04 in reply to Sarah83ap]

I’m running 3 times a week as I know exercise definitely helps but like I said I’m going to have to give that up soon. I’ll be doing walks like you I think.

Like you, eating healthy and taking my vitamins.

I’m purposely not doing too much and worrying as I did that last time and drove myself nuts and it didn’t even work anyway!

Have you always done short protocols? Xx

[Sarah83ap in reply to Hope04]

No, my first go (this is my 3rd) I had long as I had the scratch. I didn’t get as good embryo results as I did on short, but everyone else is different.

I’ve been working on egg quality I’ve last 6 months. I was having accupunture and hope that opens up soon!

I’m really trying not to worry but it’s so hard isn’t it! Xx

[Hope04 in reply to Sarah83ap]

Sorry I didn’t see the notification that you had replied.

I only got 4 eggs on the short so I’m praying that I get more on the long. They were being very cautious on my first cycle because I have a fairly high amh.

When will your aprox egg collection be if you’re on the short?

I did acupuncture my first ivf cycle and loved it. It’s so relaxing xx

[Sarah83ap in reply to Hope04]

I think around the 4th June give or take a day or two...

I had high AMH too so I’m on fairly low dose of stims which have been put up a little this time round and I’m having a double trigger.

Yes I fall asleep every accupunture session it’s lovely isn’t it!

Xx
