Long protocol again .... Buserelin & fostimon .

[Rol81]

Today I start my 3rd cycle and I’m really hoping “3rd time lucky”.

I’m not sure how I feel mentally. I’m not exactly negative or down but definitely more cautious and not as positive as I was previously.

When I’ve had my first couple of scans and hopefully I’m responding well, then I’ll feel more optimistic . Really hope I respond better this time .

Long protocol again, let’s do this ... I’ve been taking the contraceptive pill for the last month, today is day 21 and I start down regging. I’ve just done my first Buserelin injection. I was really nervous again but it was fine. Doing it in the morning so I don’t have to think about it all day!

Period due in a week and 1st scan will be in 11 days time on the 14th May. Really hopeful for better response, no cysts or polyps etc 🤞

Anyone else starting same time as me?

Oh brilliant . Do you know if you are doing long or short protocol? x

[Ariel_the_mermaid in reply to Rol81]

They are putting me on short protocol this time apparently x

Wishing you loads of luck!! 👼 I start down reg on Monday 10th, long protocol. I know I mentioned it in a message to you, but I feel exactly the same as you - I'm generally a very optimistic person but this is our second time and I feel much more cautious and less excited. I'm trying to visualise it working but I'm expecting it not to 😔 Sometimes the amount of things that could go wrong feels overwhelming.

Hopefully this will be our time though! 🦄Looking forward to keeping you company on the journey! xx

Hello that’s great you are starting again soon. It’s hard isn’t , I’m kinda just going with the flow until I have a couple of scans that are hopefully more positive than last time and then I’m sure I’ll get more positive.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not miserable, just not getting carried away 🙈

Good luck xx.

Yep me, my 1st scan is 17th may , I’m on buserelin too . I’m on my 2nd cycle, my last cycle wasn’t great, only 3 follicles and 1 growing, but sadly no egg was collected during egg collection. This time I’ve been taking CoQ10 and dhea so I’m hoping Monday I have more than 3 follicles. How are you feeling on buserelin? I’m getting headaches x

[Rol81 in reply to Gemstar20]

Hi xxxNice to hear from you. I’m sorry about your last cycle. It’s so hard .

I’m taking Dhea and CoEnQ10 this cycle also . I’m a bit worried as I didn’t get my Dhea level tested beforehand.

I’m ok so far, drinking minimum 2litres water a day so I think that’s keeping the headaches at bay.

Not sleeping great and getting hot flushes at night, are you?

I have my first scan tomorrow, which is only day 10 on buserelin which I think is early. Really not sure what to expect 😬 hopeful . Fingers crossed for both of us. Xxxx
