Forging ahead with my last IVF—Luteal phase advice?

[LuxFleur]

Well, I don't feel as sick as I did a few days ago when I felt like I wanted to die. I still feel pretty bad, but oh well.

This is a luteal phase stimulation, which I have never done before. I'm on 450 of menopur. Day 7 now. At the doctor yesterday there were 9 follicles but some were small.

I really have no idea what to expect from a luteal phase stimulation!

I am crossing everything for you! Sending you all the good vibes! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I’m so pleased to hear you’ve decided to go ahead and giving it a shot. I have no experience with the luteal thing but want to say we are all here behind you 💪🏼🤞🏻🙏🏼 Best of luck xx xx

You're doing great. Take it a day at a time. 9 follicles is really good xx

I've not heard of this but keeping my fingers crossed for you!🤞🤗 Glad that you're not feeling quite so bad.xx

I hope it all goes well for you. I have collection tomorrow with 6 good sized follicles. This is our last shot with own eggs. My advice is that if you aren’t happy with how you’re responding to the drugs by day 9-10 then cancel it. Unless you have no issue with cost.

Just to check what do you mean by luteal phase stimulation? I thought you were meaning follicular phase but wanted to check. Best of luck xx

It means we started in the luteal phase of my cycle, right after ovulation, instead of at the start of the cycle when you get your period. I guess it's often done when there is an emergency like before a cancer surgery, when there isn't time to wait for the usual cycle day. It just means I won't be able to do a fresh transfer, which I don't want to do anyway.

[AusinLondon in reply to LuxFleur]

Oh I see. I hope it goes well for you.

I had collection yesterday with 5 eggs but later found out they were all immature. I think we’re going to move on with a donor cycle soon instead.

I wish you all the 🍀

[LuxFleur in reply to AusinLondon]

I'm so sorry to hear about your eggs. It's such a rough process. I will most likely be going to DE soon myself xo

[AusinLondon in reply to LuxFleur]

It’s so difficult to know what to do as it’s such a game of roulette. I’m sure you’ll have better luck than me. Either way we just want to be parents so DE will hopefully work out x

Good luck! So glad you are carrying on despite everything xx

Wishing you all the best & glad your feeling a little better x
