I’m back on a forum again , Hi all .

We are doing it all again ! We have a gorgeous 3 year old from previous cycle of icsi , only 2 eggs were viable and the 2nd egg took FET. I had endometriosis in my left ovary it cleared from me being pregnant but still it pains me time to time and no joy of a ‘natural’ pregnancy despite trying again . I also have low egg reserve I’m most likely to hit menopause in the next few years I’m 34 . So we decided let’s do it again then if it doesn’t work we can’t say we didn’t give it a 100% try . We’re doing long cycle , ICSI I should be getting my BT results back on Monday to say hopefully I’m suppressed enough . I forgot just what the hormones are like ,hot sweats , moody omg I’m shattered !

That’s ok - I kind of knew from the other day it wasn’t good, so just feeling kind of numb - can’t face thinking about starting over just yet. I have a few days of work as my b day week so once official test day 20th is over I will have a much awaited glass of wine to celebrate my bday!!!

Best of luck for your journey, keeping everything crossed for you xx

Wishing you lots of luck!

We’re in the same boat as you.. have a 2.5 year old and wanted to give it one last shot so we know we at least gave it our all!

I was on short protocol last time and did long in June (the long protocol is tough with the down regulation!!!!) I unfortunately developed mild OHSS so had a freeze all. Having FET in Tuesday though 😬😬 x

I do thank you. It was only mild OHSS so only felt rubbish for about a week.

Have you worked out when egg collection etc might be? X

Yes so if I’m suppressed enough il have scans 28th and 31st Aug egg retrieval 2nd and back in on 7th . Last time we had 8 eggs 5 fertilised 2 were viable . I’m really hoping we get more than 1 we can use just in case , we will see . I’m glad your feeling better . How many Embies have you got frozen ? X

Fingers crossed it all goes well for you x when are you thinking of starting again ? x

in reply to leah30

Probably ring up in the next few weeks for a consult then hopefully start early Oct 😬 as we have a Butlins holiday booked in Sept so don’t want it clashing X

Hi Leah, 👋wishing you lots of luck with your cycle! 🍀I’m doing a long protocol this time with ICSI too. My last cycle was a year ago due to my thyroid going bonkers so also forgotten all the side effects. Hot flushes and feeling so shattered! 🥵Xx

I’m glad I’m not imagining it , I felt like I was going to pass out last week at work what with that and having my period too 🥵 and the general heat of the day
