Hi All,
Hope you are all doing well.
My clinic have approved for me to start the medication on CD19 (2nd June)
I am excited, nervous and everything in between. After failed FET in November I am not telling a soul that I know that we are doing it this time xxx
Xxx
Hi I’m starting on my next cycle so looking at first week of June. So excited to start! X
Ahhh lovely ... we can be cycle buddies 😊 I am not telling any of my friends and family this time. This will be my last round also for many reasons.
We are having iCSI ... I really hoping my husbands count hasn’t gone down in the last two years xxx
Yes that would be great. I’m not telling people either. It’s too hard having to inform everyone if it doesn’t work and receive pitying looks.
We are planning IVF but if on the day ICSI is needed then it will be done.
Have your meds arrived? X
Yeah it’s so hard to face people after a failed. I literally just sent a clear blue picture of not pregnant and hid for two weeks 🙈
No haven’t been sent them yet. She is going to next week
Have you for yours? Xxx
I like that technique!
I am waiting for a call from the pharmacist to agree a delivery date. I’m going to feel on edge until they are safely here!
Hope this isn’t too forward, but do you/other people starting want to have a little WhatsApp group? We can complain about bloating, compare injection techniques and confirm the best snacks to cheer us up! 
Yeah I will be up for that xxx
Hey. I will also be up for a wattsapp group as I should start treatment in June too! Yay!
I’m starting in June too! Not sure what date but hopefully soon 😊
Ahhh lovely it’s so exciting isn’t it 😃 I wasn’t expecting to start this early in year after everything.
Think I may need to start eating healthier and order some vitamins 🙈
Is this your first attempt? Xxx
I was also expecting it to be at the back end of the year if anything really!! So definitely pleasantly surprised and really happy 😃
I definitely need to eat healthier!! Feel like I’ve piled on the pounds 😱 sugar addict over here haha 🙋🏻♀️
No, it’s my second attempt. I had my first round in feb, fell pregnant but had a missed miscarriage at 6.5 weeks. Miscarried at 10 weeks and that was only 4 weeks ago so it’s still quite recent but I’ve accepted it and moving on with a positive mindset! What about you? Xx
Ahhh really sorry to hear that you miscarried but it’s great news that you are in a good place now and ready to go again 😃. Do they have an idea of why it has happened twice?
Yes yes yes I am the biggest sugar addict going 🙈 I am going to try and be good now though. Having this to focus on and look forward will hopefully help us through lockdown
We have both started taking Impryl ... my husbands side of things aren’t great so I am hoping it’s hasn’t got much worse since the last time 😬
I have a daughter from the first go she is 5 now... FET failed with two embryos in November.
Xxx
Ah I’ve only had the one miscarriage on our first attempt, I hope it was just bad luck as I don’t want to go through that again!!
So you have frozen embryos or you have to go through egg collection again?
Lovely that you have your daughter 💕 xx
Oh I am sorry hun I read your post wrong. We will keep positive vibes going that we get the happy healthy pregnancies we work so hard for this year 😊
I used my last two in November so doing a fresh cycle this time.
Are you starting a fresh or Frozen? Xxx
Definitely stay positive 😊 we fortunately had 3 frozen in Feb so we’ll be doing a frozen transfer this time.
Good luck with your stims etc, you’ll be fine! Xx
Ahhh that’s great 😀 natural frozen or medicated for you? I had medicated xxx
I’m going to opt for medicated I think just because I want to be more in control haha. I’m not sure what it entails though?! Are there any more injections?! Xx
I had injections (buserlin) and tablets for my FET it’s strange because you feel like your not doing much as it’s so much easier and quicker lol xxx
I’m starting a week before you on 26th 😊
Definitely starting to feel more ‘real’ after all the waiting around for clinics to reopen.
Are you on long protocol?
Oh how exciting ... you literally have this weekend and then you are starting. So lovely.
Short this time .... Which are you? Xxx
I was really excited but now the nerves are kicking in!
I’m on long this time (short on my first cycle).
What number cycle is this for you? Xxx
This will be my 3rd
Have you been taking any supplements? Xxx
I’ve been taking the Zita West vitamins. I also start on probiotics as recommended by my consultant on day 21.
How about you? Xxx
Oh that is interesting I might look into them. We are both taking Impryl but have only started this week so not sure if it’s too late? Xxx
They are suppositories and I think they are meant to balance out the pH for when you transfer. Haven’t taken them before but it’s worth a shot!Were any of your rounds successful?
I have a little girl but was a natural conception after my failed ivf xxx
Oh wow a natural is amazing.
Yeah I had a baby girl on my first round 😊 she is five now
How old is your daughter? Xxx
It was after a laparoscopy to repair damage to my tube. I haven’t got any tubes now though so no chance of natural again!
Ah how lovely. Was it a fresh cycle that you had your daughter?
My daughter is 2 😊 xxx
Yeah I fresh cycle. I am not looking forward to all the bloating ect that comes with the fresh cycle 🙈 how did you find it all for you last time? Xxx
No neither am I!
I was an emotional wreck during my last cycle. They thought I’d over stimulate but the opposite happened (the reason I’m doing long instead of short this time). Hoping for good numbers this time though so we get some frozen!
How were you during your last cycles? Xxx
I was okay as in I didn’t have the symptoms like headaches ect but I did get OHSS after the transfer it was a it stressful but I was pregnant so didn’t care I had it as I was too happy 🙈😂 xxx
Hey girls, I’m also over the moon, starting hopefully mid next week with the medication for FET! I’ve got all the meds already as we were supposed to start end of March... this will be my 4th attempt and I do have a good feeling about it this time but also to scared to believe that good feeling! Has anyone been on the progesterone injections? All the best to all of you xxx
Good luck!
Wooohoo this is exciting for you 😊 don’t be scared to be positive it’s great that you are ready to get going and feeling happy about it all. I am more excited his time then my other previous goes too.
I haven't had the progesterone injections before hun but sounds like this change in protocol for you could be exactly what you need to get the BFP 😀 xxx
Hi I was on the progesterone injections for the Failed FET in April- they cause of a lot of aching, but inject slowly I felt helped minimise the pain...
Best of luck with your treatment!
Hi I am due to start my second ivf, long protocol as soon as AF arrives - due end of May/begin of June (failed FET April so who knows how long AF will take to come)
Ahhh lovely 😊 have you got all your medication now? Sorry to hear you had a failed FET in April but we are all ready to get going now and looks like no one in the group is first timers lol xxx
Not yet I will start buserelin on day 21 so technically meds won’t start until 3rd week June so got time to arrange it all. It’s still a long time before things get going
How did they decide a short protocol for you if you don’t mind me asking? I had long first time and they said same again this time (even though I’m at a different clinic). Never been offered short
I am not sure if it’s because I got OHSS the first time or because I am regular periods ect as the issue we have is because my husband has very low sperm count. I feel like my clinic never tell me why they make their decisions. I did a medicated FET in November and they didn’t say why it wasn’t a natural xxx
Hmm maybe the OHSS thing, but I’m guessing we would all love short protocol less waiting time 😂. Anyway it is what it is - we put all our faith and trust into these specialists so go with what they recommend I guess fingers crossed we can all keep each other positive in this group 👍🏻😊- are you based in uk?
Ha ha yeah anything to speed up the process 🙈 I am the most impatient person ... it’s so hard for me to wait for things 😂
I feel this is a very positive group 😊
Yes I am in the UK and so is my clinic
Are you? Xxx
Good luck with your cycle! ☘️🌈I’m hoping to start soon too. 🤞🤞🤞xx
Thank you lovely .
I hope you do get to start very soon. Are you waiting for your clinic to open? Will this be your first attempt? xxx
Hi ya ☺️Our clinic has just opened and we passed the first COVID triage stage on the phone. Got a face to face appointment next Friday to get assessed. I have asthma so a little worried about that and what that might mean for us. We are about 18 months into our IVF journey. I had two NHS funded egg collections last year (as I have low ovarian reserve) which resulted in four Frosties and then one FET last July which resulted in a negative result and no embies left to refreeze. My thyroid then went AWOL so been waiting for it to stabilise which it did in March of this year so we were about to have an appointment to start planning our treatment when COVID hit. 🤦♀️Hoping to do a fresh transfer (now privately funded) for our next round. How about you? Is this your first cycle? xxx
Awww sounds like you have been through a lot over the last 18 months. It’s great that you are getting seen next week 😊 nice to feel your getting somewhere isn’t it.
Are you taking any supplements this time?
I have a daughter from first attempt 😊 I had failed Fet in November so no embryos left will be fresh this time. I am just praying husbands count hasn’t got worse 🙈 we have never in 8 years had a natural pregnancy xxx
Great news your clinic is up and running again. Good luck I really hope this is your time. Are there many changes in your clinic now?xx
Thank you 😊. Yeah there is some changes such as temp checks, minimal visits ect xxx
Good luck with your cycle 👍. Hoping all goes well for you this time.
I am meant to start on day 19 of my cycle, which is 8 days away but I doubt if I will be able to start as my clinic has just reopened and I have not been told to go ahead. I have all my medications with me as my cycle was cancelled for early April.
My first failed cycle was short protocol but I am going to have a long protocol now.
I can’t wait to start too. Xxx
Ahh yeah I am starting day 19 too which is 10 days away. Have you heard from them at all?
We have a WhatsApp group if you would like to join? Xxx
We are doing a natural FET this month, currently CD 9 and another scan on Monday. Good luck all x x
Ahhh that’s lovely good luck
I haven’t done a natural FET what day of the cycle do they plan to transfer? Xxx
Start treatment again today!
Treatment to start soon
How soon can I start Maternity Leave?
First IVF treatment starting soon :-)
