Hi everyone
Just checking in to see what is going on.

I am just waiting for AF which should be about a week away. I can't believe I am about to start this rollercoaster again.

Randa
Congratulations!!! Life is sometimes very complicated isn't it? Hope the jabs abd the plans are going well.

Little P
June 1st!! that is not long to wait. Do you have a blood test and scan or just scan? I have to have the blood test first to see if my FSH levels are low enough then a scan the next day.
I noticed you said AF may be early after the hysteroscopy? No one said this to me so I am glad you mentioned it. Did you find it was early?.

Leanne
Godd luck for starting the jabs next thursday. I hate doing them as well to begin with I would just sit there with the needle hovering over my leg and after 5 mins dp would take pity on me and do it. Last time though his work hours were a bit unpredictable so I had to do them myself,still find it hard though.

Missmolly
Hello and welcome to the board. I hope AF arrives soon.We spend our lives dreading AF arriving then when we want it it never comes.

Sorry if I have missed anyone.

Hi there - long time no speak, thank goodness I've found you again

My AF was actually 3 days early - which is what they said it can be, so at least I was prepared. I got those all too familiar pains 24 hours beforehand

I'm having a scan and blood test on Wednesday and then hopefully they'll let me know when I can begin the stimming drugs. Then, I haven't got a clue what happens I know I am having Heparin, Steroids and IVIG but when these are incorporated into the treatment I haven't any idea. I know you've done this before is there a standard way?

So, what is happening for you - whereabouts are you in the treatment, have you started "sniffing" yet?

Hi Little P
Good to hear from you.
I go for bloods on day 1 or 2 then if the hormones are ok and the scan is ok I start downregging and stimming at the same time.It is called a flare protocol.

IVIG is often given around ec and heparin and steroids are in the 2ww, well that was my experience. I also had more IVIG following a BFP. I think this time I am getting 2 IVIGS before the test day but not sure when.

I am quite excited now are you? But I also a bit nervous because this is definately my last go.

Hope you are well have a good weekend.

I am excited, but know what you mean about the nerves - they are just kicking in.

Hopefully I will know more about when things really start to get going next week - I'll let you know.

Have a lovely weekend - should be a scorcher

, make the most of it

Big hugs

Little P

Hi All

Hope everyone is having a good day!!

Not long now till my scan!

Hopefully everything will go ahead.

Just treating it like its routine and if sperm is deposited next week will still treat like routine i'm a pessimist i'm afraid when it comes to fertility treatment i guess it's my way of not being dissapointed if it doesn't work!!

Love Jo

Little P,
Good luck with your scan tomorrow, Sweetie!

Be sure and tell us what you learn.

Joanna,
Sending PMA your way as well. Remember, it's silly to worry about things that are beyond our control. (I know, I know, I should take my own advice - ha!)

Hello you wonderful JuJu Jelly Babies

Well back from the scan and Mr T said all was looking good

- to me it was just grey, black and white but he obviously saw something I didn't

Anyway, waiting for the results of the blood test and then I will know if I start stimming today or in a couple of days.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to use the auto-injector so I shall have to do the actual injection myself

I hope that you are all well and things are going smoothly for you.

LittleP, glad to hear everything is looking good. I know what you mean about the scan, black bits, white bits, grey bits....I guess you just have to take Mr T's word for it

I hope you don't mind me asking but why can't you use the pen? I found them really easy to use....not too sure about the new ones though, they look a bit cumbersome and take up loads of room in the fridge! Guess I will work it out when the time comes.

Hope your blood results give you the go ahead to start stimming....after such a long wait it is all happening quickly for you now..yay!!

Take care
Heather

Unfortunately it is something to do with the length of the needle - they have said when I'm next down to take the auto-injector in and they will have a look and see if it can be used - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I will update as soon as I get that phone call.

Hi I'm a late addition to the June/July cycle as I've been pretending it's not really happening for ages. I put something on the June/July roll call yesterday but then I noticed this thread too. Still don't get what the difference is, but thought I should say hello here too.

I was here this time last year but had a very bad time of it, so I've spent a long time not thinking about IVF at all. Started my down regging injections this morning, so I have to face up to it now!

hope you're all having a good day, despite the miserable weather (well it is here anyway)

Caroline
