Hi all,

I feel like I'm on menopause! All my reassuring words, yet after just one antagonist injection I feel horrid. Woke up dizzy with a bad headache and total state of confusion.

Amanda - DH is coming home today (It's Friday here) but will prolly fly again next week. He sent an sms before ...

Kamina - you asked rph, but I'll try to answer anyhow. The birthcontrol pill for IVF anyhow, is given like the antagonist is in order to prevent self or "natural ovulation". This way RE when seen on u/s the prevention worked can then put one on stims to have the development of the follicles just ...

Hello everyone!

Amanda - I forgot to refer to what you asked. Implantation normally should occur 6 days post ovulation, meaning 3 days post 3DET. It can vary a little, not much. I have heard and read that frozen embies can be late implanters, luckily you have fresh ones! I am the living proof that ...

Hello girls,

Amanda - I was so anxious to hear from you already! I'm so happy for you! Statistically getting 3 successful embryos out of 6 is excellent..and their quality is fabulous. This is so exciting to go through this together! I can't wait to hear it all went wonderfully well. Before you ...

Kamina,
It's very comforting to find you here often - I really am a lot alone now that hubby's abroad. In 2 days I'll be starting my antagonist - have to buy it tomorrow then on Thursday begin to inject it to myself.
I regretted before that I wasn't talking about the mood swings and only referred to ...

Hi Kamina,

I felt awful with the meds too. I didn't even realize at once how bad the situation was before RE told me he was thinking of hospitalizing me. I guess the stims are terrible, but there's something about the progesterone (what you have as prometrium and I as endometrin) it crips on you ...

Hi rph, Kamina and Amanda!

Amanda - I'm so thinking of you and hoping it went super great yesterday! I know you'll prolly want to relax the next couple of days and I'll be waiting patiently to hear your news.

Kamina - welcome! Looking forward to hear all about you and go through this ordeal ...

Hi Kamina,
I think you came to the right place. I am getting loads of support here from ladies who are going through more or less the same all over the world..
We got married and tried naturally to then find out DH has 100% abnormal sperm head morphology. I'll be starting a new antagonist cycle (for ...

Amanda ho are you?

Congratulations for your 6 embryos!!! 6 blessings from you and your DH together! A beautiful number! It is so amazing when after such a long road you suddenly have good news, ain't it. I am praying for the first try to work and for you to get either triplets or twins! I'm also ...

Amanda hi!
These are awesome news!!! I truly hope all or most of the 15 will be successfully fertilized - normally it is a good number that do. I was really shocked to hear you were in Nashville! My DH's cousin is living there, going to med school there (he's American born and we don't see him very ...

Hi Amanda!
I am so excited for you...so looking forward to hearing great news about tomorrow!!!
My LH level was 108, and RE said (his own words) "today's your day" meaning I'm ovulating, and calculated everything right, due to start with the antagonist Thursday the 27th. Hubby won't be here, and I ...

Hi Amanda,
I'm not even in the States, unfortunately - it'd feel good to know you were at least on the same continent. We are living in Israel, which is where we're originally from, I came back here after living abroad in Europe (not even UK) for over 12 years . This basically means that it's easier ...

Amanda,
I think you both made a smart choice not to wait any longer with your cycle. It's definitely a good thing your DH got to explain your situation so that he gets to call every other day.. hang on there, the physical discomfort is annoying. It was difficult for me in October cause I didn't know ...

Amanda,
I can't really begin to imagine how it is for you to get a phone call from your DH exactly during your u/s..I suppose it's a mixture of being proud of him and excited to to let him know all at once yet wanting to listen to him and support him...I'm always worried for DH when he is away on ...

Hi Amanda!
There's something about low E2 on the topic IVF, thread titled "Ghost or anyone...thoughts", they say something about not to worry too much if numbers are low.
We had a lovely day, I managed for a change not to think too much about what we lack, but more about what we have...lovely ...
