Jan-Feb cycles ???

Post by Prerna »

Hi,

I am relatively new to this website and we are gonna start our first IVF cycle in Jan. Am really excited and nervous as well. Tried to do biopsy twice for checking integrin and both the times the result came out of phase. The doctor said they would just assume and treat for integrin deficiency. So i start medication Nov 8th for 2 months.

Hi Sally,

We like US. But we do miss our family back home. We had been to Europe last year and we just loved it!!! We had been to Swizerland, France, Germany. It was just so beautiful !! Except for the fact that the cost of living is high as compared to the US.

I dont think i wld be on nasal spray. Whats that for ?? I will be taking my lupron sometime after tomorrow after they do my bloodtest.

I guess the medications r a little different for the 2 of us. When do u do ur egg retrival??

Hi Prerna,
where abouts in Germany have u been? Have u been to uk at all?

The lupron u r taking is that injections? Some of the girls do downreg. with a nasal spray some with injections (like me). I start downregulating with injections in december and hopefully have er mid. january. we will be staying in uk for the whole time of the treatment which i am really looking forward to. makes a change to living in germany all the time :lol:

Hi Sally,

Did u have a good weekend ??
Never been to UK...wld love to someday. We were in Frankfurt when we visited Germany. Is there no hospital in Germany where u can do the treatment ? That wld be a long stay in the UK until the time u r done...isnt it ??
Do u work or u at home ?? I work in IT(info tech). Work on SAP. So there is no luxury of staying away from home for too long.

Take care

Hi Prerna,
Frankfurt is supposed to be nice. Never been there mind :oops:

Weekend was ok, thx. and yours?

Yes there is quite a few clinics for tmt over here but we would have to pay everything ourselfs because we both have british health isurance, so we decided to go for the more complicated but cheaper option and do in uk. Hopefully we dont have to do it to often :?

I am at home at the moment, but will look for work again after tmt. i am a leagle sec.

So, have u startet on your lupron yet? really hope everything is going all right for u. let me know.

take care

Hi Sally,

Blood results were OK. Progesterone level was 6.9 > am gonna get my lupron injection today and also start on Aygestine following my period. The nurse said mid Jan wld be approximately my date. Its really hard to do this treatment while u r working. I skip my lunchtime and try to get this done...but its toomuch of a stress as I dont want the whole world to knwo at my personal affair either...
I have a dog whoz 6 months. Hes adorable. I love him. We had him fixed the day before ..poor thing was in lotta pain. Seems to be doing much better now.
No, havent heard the part of Germany u r in....

More later..
Take care
