Hiya Sharon
I noticed your other posting under my poor responder message.
Just wondering how you are getting on with the Larginine. Dying to here whether it makes a difference. Fingers crossed it does. worth a try either way.
Keep me informed
I am starting drugs 4 wks on Weds of next week.. So down to Holland and Barret soon!
GOOD LUCK
Karenx

Hi karen,
I did post to your thread, but will update you here.
I started just before sniffing - on 500mg (which is the dose they come in) then after a week went upto 2000mg as I think the study we read was 2000mg - 3000mg and I took them right up to my 2nd scan!!! However, had my 2nd scan on Friday and really gutted but we cancelled the treatment!!
This was our worst response. We only had one folly at 12 and one at 18 and because they were at different sizes they could only go for one of them. We decided that based on our other cycles (we've got 3 every time, this was our 4th) we could do better.
I don't think it was anything to do with the L-arginine, I was very tired this time - just think it just didn't happen. I'm really anxious now and will be very anxious the next time when it comes to scan time - I just didn't consider that we would have to cancel! I think if next time it is just one then we will go for it regardless - and it will probably be our last time!
Anyway, I have an unopened bottle from H&B that I'm happy to send you for free - don't be put off just cause it didn't work for me, really don't want to bring you down about it all. But thought you needed to know so that you aren't expecting any miracles!
Really hope it goes well for you and I'll keep my eye out for you - if you can post back here when you have your scans I'd like to know how you did. Let me know if you want me to send you the tablets.
Take Care Sx

So sorry about the cancellation. My first ever cycle was cancelled on a long protocol and gutted was an understatement. I only had one folly on each ovary, then 2nd cycle on a shortie, got 4 eggs out of six follies, (only one embie made though - neg
, then my last cycle in Sept about 7 follies, and five eggs, made 3 embies, - neg . Just shows it changes on each cycle. I know I am going to be a nervous wreck in 5 wks at 7 day scan, which cant help matters at all, We are supposed to remain calm arent we - fat chance!
I know its hard but focus on just looking forward until the next go. Will you be starting again after next period?
But It CAN happen, Stay Positive Sharon. Just read Fiona's story, and also Julianna, I think I read she made 2 poor graded embies, and got a pos result last week!
Also, when I only had the one embie transferred on my first attempt, the doctor told me he had had 4 women the previous month with positive results all from one transfer!!!!!!
No worries about the L'arginine. Ive read somewhere else that it can feed the shingles virus, and as I had Shingles in December, dont want to bring it back !!!!! So dont know what to do for the best now>>????????
Bye for now Sharon
