Fyfey:
Hey is there anyone here?

Tickety-boo:
I’m sort of here. I sort of straddle the October and November groups but haven’t been posting in the October one because I would have been so late joining it. I started stimming Thursday last week. The hope is egg collection next week and (assuming I get that far) I’ll be testing/2ww’ing in November.

I had a scan Tuesday and my next one is today. On Tuesday I had six promising looking follicles. I’m shattered and achey but fortunately am now on annual leave the next two weeks.

Background: i have pcos and do not ovulate. I had donor medicated iui in February- got pregnant, told I’d miscarried. This was incorrect, it was an ectopic that was missed on scanning. It ruptured at a little over 8 weeks. Lost a tube and advised by the fertility team that ivf is best now. So here I go. I want to start a family so much but I’m also terrified of the whole thing.

Are you cycling fyfey?

Fyfey:
Hey Tickety, I feel like I’ve seen your name previously.... but then I wasn’t around in February time during your IUI. I’m so sorry to hear about your last pregnancy... how awful! How can it have been missed? How likely is that to happen? So many questions eh?   

How did your scan go yesterday? Your a bit ahead of me, I won’t be at EC/ET stage until December. I’m just about to start down reg with the spray.

Background here:
6 months of clomid years ago
2 IUI 
OHSS during first round of IVF in 2014, stopped for 2/3 month.
June/July 2014 went again and got to EC/ET... had two top grade 5 day blasts, transferred one and now have a 5 year old.
Nov/Dec 2019 done a FET with the frostie, failed.
So now going for self funded IVF again with the hope of a sibling....

So although I’ve been here before, I really struggle to remember the process/time scale of it all. Maybe you can help? How long did you down Reg for? How long you been stimming?

I think with my successful IVF 6 years ago, I injected to down reg.... but this time I’m on spray. I used spray last year for the FET and it seemed to work fine, however I keep thinking that I got a positive outcome with the first IVF and not the FET... although it’s probably nothing to do with how I down reg, just the way my mind works!!!

Where are you located? Are you cycling in this country or travelling?

Tickety-boo:
Ah I suspect we know each other (cuz I recognise your name too) from the November/December 2019 group. I had a cancelled cycle in December 2019 because my lining was super thick at my baseline scan.

Oh god - how wrong everything went with my first pregnancy is still something I don’t understand. The week before it ruptured I’d been to EPAU and said “I think I have an ectopic pregnancy” and they scanned me and told me I was wrong. I asked for serial hcg’s and was told no because as far as they were concerned it was a completed miscarriage. I think they thought I was crazy. They certainly convinced me that I was crazy. So a week later when it ruptured it was just awful. I was rushed  to theatre and lord know a very clever surgeon saved my life but I still can’t believe we found ourselves in that position. It was a mess. Should I ever get pregnant again I will be asking to use a different hospital.

My scan was good. She thinks I’ve got 10 follicles that look promising size wise - the others are all a bit small. My next scan is Monday and hopefully they’ll be cooked then because I run out of medication Monday!

I’m on an antagonist protocol and I didn’t down reg. i just did three northisterone induced cycles in the run up to my treatment cycle to keep on top of my lining then they scanned me day 2 of this cycle  and I started stimming day 3. I believe it’s because I have pcos and basically don’t ovulate at all and have an AMH of 85 so am at high risk of OHSS. An antagonist protocol means they can use a different trigger if I do develop OHSS (but at least so far I haven’t).

So far I’ve been stimming 10 days, my clinic tell me 12 is average.

I’m based in the Midlands and I’m having treatment in the uk. I’m self funding too. Where are you based/having treatment?
