No follies from stimming

[AMck]

Hello all
Jackie, hope you had a good week. Welcome back! Hope you get some good news from the dr about your next cycle.

The days are really dragging for me. Work is really hectic and that's good 'cos I get distracted. I'm sure ladies on this site enter some kind of time warp where every day lasts for about 3! Only on day 15, so ages to go yet....ho hum......at least the weather is fab!

Hi to Jeni, glad to see you have started stimming, yeeehaahhh! This is your BFP cycle. Have a fab time with Adam.

Hi to MLG, Rachel and Dizzie, hope everyone OK
Bye for now

Hi Guys,

Sorry to jump on to your thread on page 18 but I thought it might be a good place to ask -

Has anybody tried DHEA? I have been researching it and the benefits sound fantastic.

I just had my first cycle which was cancelled on day 9 as there were only a few small follies seen at the scan. I was devastated, I had told myself that there was a chance that I wouldnt have anything to transfer, or get a BFN, but never considered that I wouldn't even make it to EPU!

I have booked an appointment with my GP on Monday to get a blood test for DHEA levels, and hopefully a script as it is a restricted substance in Australia (think it is freely available in US and other countries)

Just incase you havent read about the benefits, here is the site that gave me the most motivation (having just turned 38!) http://www.centerforhumanreprod.com/pre ... aries.html

When I consult Dr Google, there is so many benefits other than helping to increase egg yield/quality!

I should also mention that we need to do PGD as well so we HAVE to get a decent number of eggs, FS says he will probably cancel under 10!

I am starting another cycle soon, this time it is going to be a flare cycle, and hopefully I respond! I am going to ask for some blood tests in the first week or so to check E2 levels, so I can prepare myself if the levels dont sound great - does this sound reasonable?

Cheers
Sara

Hi Girls,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I am just waiting for AF which should be the beginning of June.

I will start next fresh cycle then. Taking a month off not because I want to but because I was away when I got AF and I missed the window for the 1st test. Im sure this will be fine and some time off will be good for me.

Im excited to start again.

Anna, I know what you mean when you say time is dragging but you know it will be here before you know it.

Jen, Hope you are feeling good with your stimming. Good luck to you. Im right behind you (About a month).

Talk to you all soon.

Jackie

Hello,

So I am only on day 10 of my cycle. It looks like I should start around the 2nd of June. I talked to the nurse today and she says I will take the pill for 2 weeks, then stim for about 10-11 days and should have retrieval the beginning of July.

The test date should be the middle of July. Today it all seems so far away, but we know know it will be apon us soon.

Good luck to you all.

Anna, Im jigging for you too. Hope AF behaves and shows up when she should

Jen, Good for you with the stimms. Keep those follies coming!!

Hi to Dizzie, Rachela nd MLG!!

Hi ladies,

So I have 2 weeks before I start AF. I am getting so anxious to start.

Jenn, Good for you.... Grow follies Grow!!

Anna, so AF was on time. That sure is a good sign. BCP for you and you are now rolling!!

I'm just sitting at home tonight enjoying some cocktails with DH. I only have a short time before we have to give those up.

I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Jackie

Hi Ladies, hope everyone having a good weekend. It's raining and miserable here! I have just been for a massage and a facial and am feeling really chilled out

Jackie, how are you? Only a couple of weeks and you start again. I hope AF behaves. Let me know when you need me to start jigging!

Jen, grow follies grow. When is your next scan? You asked me about my cycle. Yes, you are right I won't stim at all, just take bc pills to synchronise me with the donor, then oestrogen patches to help prepare my lining, then off to ET! It all sounds so simple! Watch this space

Hi to Tracii, good to see you post. Hope all is OK with you and bump. Keep us posted!

MLG sorry to see you aren't feeling so good. Look after yourself and hope you feel better soon.
