Hi

Has anyone been in the same boat as me in having normal LH, FSH and progesterone levels but not responded to drugs?

First IUI - down reg and stims only produced 2 follicles (neg result)

1st ICSI - cetrotide cycle (and doubling stims med) - looked to be 15 follies on scan but when it came to ...

Hi

Thank you for your experiences on steroids. I have not got to the stage of embryo transfer and not been tested for killer cells either. My problem was a poor response to the stimulation drugs (although my feeling was that after the shut down on buserelin my body didn't pick up) so this time its ...

Hi

Does anyone have any experience of taking steroid (dexamethasone) during an IVF cycle. My clinic is advising I do but its not sitting comfortably with me. They said that it is so the body doesn't reject the embryo ? I haven't been at that stage of having an embryo transfer before so think they ...

Hi

I have posted on the board before but not joined a thread so if it's ok thought I would. I did an original IVF cycle in June but only ended up with 2 eggs (although FSH is okay) but bad reaction to buserelin as down regging quicker than normal that body didn't respond to stim drugs so went to ...

Hi

Hi

Is anyone done or doing a flare cycle? My consultant has suggested this because poor reaction to long protocol (even though FSH is normal). Believe they use steroids and stimulation drugs and it is only for a 10-14 day time that you are taking drugs before hopefully egg collection. Yous start ...

Hi

Is anyone having IVF in france ? I have had one IUI in UK and possibly will have an IVF here but is anyone having IVF in france as that will be our next step. Do the state fund it ? I read they do up to 4 times ? My partner is french citizen. Anyone know?

Hi

I wonder if anyone has had a poor response to drugs and not produced the required number of eggs for IVF? I felt awful on the down reg drug and felt my body never really picked up after it. I produced 2 eggs and ended up having IUI which was negative. So I kind of did an IUI on IVF drug protocol ...

Ok.

You can purchase the flower remedies from Holland & Barrett, Boots and probably some other health shops.

For fear which I am sure is extremely natural throughout whole of IVF process the flower remedy is MIMULUS.

For thoughts that keep going around in the head in circles and worry the flower ...

What emotions are you feeling at the moment?

eg excited, anxious, fear, impatient, worried etc (could use the icons for this!!)? Specific emotions need a specific flower remedy

Hi

Having read through some of the topics on this site have found this very helpful, informative and positive. I think it is a extremely difficult time to go through. I think I will be starting the stimulating drugs this week, this is my first IVF treatment cycle. I am having acupuncture during ...

My medication starts the day of AF with burselin for 14 days and then stimulating drugs. So there are different cycles of ivf drugs ?

Hi have put my first question to the forum on the introduction page and was advised to try here in general forums (thank you).
Burselin - has anyone completed the down regulation before the usual minimum 14 days?

Buserelin - down regulation. Has anyone on this site completed down regulation on buserelin before the 14 days? I seem to have reacted quickly to drug and they want to blood test and scan before the 14 days (on day 10)
