Re: April/May cycle buddies
Hi there ! My first IVF failed . I got a negative result on 14 feb . Was dreaming of having a good news on the valentines day . I had 4 failed IUI's before that . Had a follow up appointment with my doc yesrterday . He was ready to start a fresh cycle immediately. I n hubby have decided to relax for a month . Dont the Doctors recommend every patient to take a break after IVF ?. Or does it depend on different bodies.
Well ! I will be starting my fresh IVF cycle again around april-may . Till that time want to forget the needles and everyday ultrasounds .

pallavi,geckogirl welcome
pallavi - firstly im sorry about your BFN, we had a break for alomost a year and a half by the time we start our second IVF in April our doc recommended it also said that there was more chance of falling naturally after all the drugs but unfortunatally no shuch luck. I was so heart broken and tired from our first try i swore that i would never do it again i really admire people who get straight back on the band wagon so to say. like you palllavi . There was no way i could of started again with in a couple of months. I cant believe i feel the way i do im ready to go again although if you asked me 12mnths ago there was no way. Im glad weve waited for a while had time to be me again and be a couple properly again instead as seeing each other as baby making objects cause i dont know about you ladies but it definitly but a strain on my relationship. Take time out for you and DH for a few weeks and come to terms with your BFN and like you say forget about needles for a while.

Hi there!
I am starting my 2nd fresh IVF end of March/ beginning of April. I had a planned frozen blast transfer Feb 14, but it didn't survive the thaw. Talked to my doctor a few days ago and I will be doing the long protocol (with the nasal spray).
It's nice to have a forum for April/May buddies.

Hey girls ! we r really a good group here. Thankyou so much mom20 , geckogirl for a warm welcome. Lee,hrobinson,ruby so u all are ready for april-may too. hope everything works out well for all of us here . Thanks mom20 , for answering my question . I am a little surprised , taking a break of 1 year did'nt make you more frustrated ..... ???
Well for me after hours of crying after each IUI failiure , i didnt feel much after a failed IVF coz now i have understood , doctors can just try . A soul can come to a womb only if it really has to and if GOD wishes . So i am very calm now . the fear that will it work or not helped neither of us .... Am i right??
Dear Mom20 , Plz dont loose your hopes , the more you are sad, you ruin your chances of getting pregnant . try to concentrate on other nice things in your life , may be your hubby , your friends . If you are a spiritually oriented person , that can work wonders . Well ! it has worked for me .
bye gals.....keep in touch .......

thankyou pallavi im trying to keep myself occupied with other things in my life my nephew/godson had been my saviour through this i have focused on him you see he was born a few weeks before i got my BFN so i have had a lot to do with him and i guess it helped me get over it.
Taking a year out has been really frustrating but a lot has happened i lost my job i was made redundant we move houses so i guess my mind has been on other things. Now my time is growing near im starting to think about it again getting back to dreading every AF well i guess you ladies know what i mean. I to spent hours crying after many failed IUIS when it came to IVF and it i kinda didnt think that would work either.
I think ive kinda got it in my head that its never gonna happen for me. It always seems to be someone else never me i dont know if thats how you ladies feel. We started trying when i was 21 you see DH is a lot older and we wanted to have children while he was still young and i wanted to be young but now im 26 and DH is 38 and just feel time is running out i dont want to keep trying for ever when do you say enough is enough. But then i dont want to be in my fifties with no children i mean some people are grandparents by then. I know it eventually will happen but it just seems to be taking forever in the mean time everyone around me are getting pregnant and im left behind out of all my friend i have been in a relationship the longest but yet im still the one who hasnt any children even people who i thought would never in this world have children have met someone settled down and had children.
Anyway sorry for the rant ladies guess all the old feelings are coming back as i havnt really thought about any of this for a while
Me and DH are off for a walk along the beach its a lovely cold crisp sunny day here in Hartlepool uk
HOPE EVRYONE IS HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND
sticky baby dust to you all

Hi Ladies!
Mom20, this is what I have read about natural cycle IVF:
1st you do a mock cycle: the cycle immediately preceding the natural ivf cycle. You check you basal body temp and LH phase.
Then three days prior to the initiation of the LH surge (based upon the experience gained with the Mock Cycle), plasma estradiol, LH, and/or vaginal ultrasound examinations are performed. As soon as the dominant follicle reaches it ideal size, a rectal suppository of Indomethacin is given (the same morning) followed by the administration of HCG at that evening.
Thirty-five hours later, an egg retrieval is performed. The egg is fertilized using intracytoplasmic sperm injection 4-1/2 to 6 hours after egg retrieval.
5-6 days later - the embro is transfered to the uterus. Progesterone suppositories are used right after the egg retrieval.
Then you wait for your BFP!
There are advantages to doing this: less stress, you don't have to take drugs thus your cycle is not affected by drugs.
I read a little about this- I hope it helps.

Mom20,
Rant all you want. I know exactly how you feel. Why on earth can I not have children naturally? Why would God punish me?
My sister (adopted) who we all said should never in her life have children, (due to the fact that she thinks the world should revolve around her, and she is horrible with kids) has gone on to have 4 abortions, and finally kept the past two kids. She is a horrible mother:( Why is it that all these young, unwed women can have children, who don't even want them; but when you have good women who so dearly want children, they can't have them?
all I have ever wanted in life was to be a mother. I was so fortunate that I do have a wonderful daughter. I am so worried that this next attempt won't work. I don't know how I will respond.
You guys are so wonderful with your sotries, and your "shoulders" to cry on, and your ears (eyes) for us to rant to.
Baby Dust to all here:)

mizma - thankyou this really helps as i didnt have a clue how it worked at least now i have a little insight to how ot works.So thankyou again
hrobinson- im shure the next IVF will work although i know i cant say for defo we all just have to try to stay postive i know its hard as you can see ive already convinced myself its never gonna happen for me. Even though i know there is a chance it could think im protecting myself from being let down again. I know what you mean about all these young unwed mothers who have five six children(well not quite lol) who they dont even want. Then there is us lovely ladies who so desparatly want a child and for what ever reasons havent yet been blessed with a tiny baby in our arms. At least when we do get our bundle he/she will no how much he/she was wanted.
032323 - I have been attending my local hospital for all of my treatment as we are getting it all on the NHS we cant afford to go private (Hartlepool University Hospital United Kingdom My Gyno is really nice you have all these worries and fears before you see him and when you come away your left thinking what was i worried about he is such a lovely man.
hugs to you all
