It feels very daunting , been over a year. Not planned to wait this long but had so many set backs.
I had my laporoscopy surgery in June (after been cancelled 3 times ) , recovery and then a week before I was meant to start next cycle , I caught covid.
I had an appointment last week with miscarriage clinic. Because of my high Nk cells I’m already on hydroxycholiquine for the last 18months, had this for my last unsuccessful cycle, but this time I’ll be on prednisolone also .
Annoyingly at this appointment the Doctor advised I have more detailed blood tests, if positive I would be adding in Humira and intralipids and something else. But would mean postponing the cycle for another 2-3 months. (And the financial implications , approx another £1500 +)
Despite the cost , if he had said this even a month ago I would have done the tests but because I am to start Monday we’ve decided to go ahead without the tests. We’ve had so many setbacks, I’m 43 after Xmas 🙄 and we’d already ordered our meds. And knowing my luck I’ll get covid again and then that’s another few months 🙈I’m obviously a bit unsure if right decision but it is what it is. We’ve decided to go ahead .
Starting on day 21 of my cycle , which is Monday 30th.
Progynova & Buserilin .
Stimming - fostimon & menopur. Not had menopur before. Always a bit anxious about a new medication. Hopefully no drama 🙈
I’m nervous, the injections again. Dreading them.
Also the last few cycles I took work off but I’m working this time so I’m hoping I’ll be ok.
Sending luck to all of us xxx

Wishing you success in this round. You are same age as me and also been out for a year too plus to add to it all my relationship broke down. However, l am ready to do this solo.
Oh wow - glad to meet someone who is doing this solo. Would love to read more about your journey hope you get to document it so the likes of me can read and be encouraged. Wishing you all the best
I do find it a bit hard sometimes reading posts about couples but then I think you know what I can do this!!! And I don’t have the stress of someone else’s feelings or opinions to also deal with.
I’ll add to my bio and document my journey so far x
I hope to start in the first quarter of next year. I have to decide if l continue with same clinic or go abroad. I also need to have the nk tests done - l had 4 failed transfers and because we had 5 more still frozen that’s the next test that needed to be done.
hi, I remember your name and after reading your post, wanted to wish you all the luck in the world! Not undermining the 15 days stimulation injections, but I had with my successful pregnancy Clexane for 9 months and it is the most painful injection ever! 😅 you can do it! 15 days is nothing! Also what made a difference I think after my miscarriage is also Prednisolone 25mg although I also had intralipids and 1 IVIG abroad (I travelled as there is much cheaper)! And finally, never stop trying between cycles. Obviously I don’t remember your full situation but I would say everything is possible and the fact that you are on the IVF journey doesn’t mean you can’t have a natural conception I am holding her at the moment exactly from natural conception which was obviously a shock to both of us. I also took Cyclogest x2 morning and evening. Will wait to see your positive post 🫶 in few weeks time!
Hi wanted to wish you all the best with this next round , sounds like you’ve had a long wait with all of this & having the laparoscopy. Hope you are feeling well after everything. It does feel daunting having to go through it all again.
I am currently day 3 of stims on the long protocol, this is my 4th icsi cycle. Been on Prostap for 3 months prior to see if it helps calm down my endo. It’s exactly a year since my last egg collection too. Also on blood thinning injections this time.
Not at all , they’ve put me on 300iu meriofert , I’ve always had meriofert , but different doses each round. They have lowered it slightly from my last round as my lining went too thick so fresh transfer was cancelled. Im not sure how things will go. Xx
Here I am again, really hoping this will be the one , as I do with every cycle !!Was so close to postponing again till after Xmas but I just think there will always be another test so decided just to go for it . Knowing my luck I’ll get covid again and it will be months then 🙈
Best of luck Rol81!! I’m in quite a similar position to you - I’m 42 and about to go into my 6th FET, now using PGS tested donor embryos. I’m now on Humira and then starting hydrochloriquine, prednisolone, Clexane and intralipids in the second phase. We have had early stage miscarriages in our last 3 cycles and so I’m now being treated by a specialist who has diagnosed very high natural killer cells. My NKCs are so off the scale, it wouldn’t be worth continuing without a lot of immune suppressants. Wishing you the very best of luck - I’ve heard lots of success stories with prednisolone.
