Happy Birthday estrellita That was very sweet of your DH. I'm ususally on the March/April thread but technically I could be on this one too. My ER will be the 25th/26th of April. Can't wait!

I started stims April 14th and since the 18th I have had the most terrible tender breasts! It's awful! I even have to sleep with my bra on and the shower is killing me :lol:

Good luck to everyone and I hope this thread has many successful BFP's!!!

estrellita I'm injecting the Lupron and the Gonal F on my stomach. It gets harder everyday to do it on my stomach because for some reason my skin is getting tougher! Now my DH is jabbing me two/three times before it breaks the skin or he's doing it harder! :roll:

:shock: have you tried your thigh? Mi right thigh also have gotten tougher, so there is more painful. If it gets bad I might try my stomach :? so far He hasn't try more than once.

Hello Ladies,
Happy Birthday Estrellita!!!
I have been reading all your posts and learned a lot from you .. I'm stil on birth control pills, and hope to start with injections soon ( I will now more next week) Done all blood results and mostly are ok except some infection seen on pap smear which I hope to manage to clear with antibiotics before time for transfer come..
I know it will be a little scary all the injections we have to take but I can't wait to start the procedure as soon as possible , I have so much faith that IVF will work for us ...and we can finaly finalize our dreams to become mothers.
Good Luck to all of you...

Hi, I am new to this site and starting my first fiv cycle

Post by Eve2860 »

Hi everyone grettings from Spain.I am new to this site.
I am about 3 days from my period. Which means I should start with my meds on the 25th or 26th. I was cocerned when my imune testing came back and showed that antibodies to the meseles and to toxmoplamosis ac IgG. I have never had the meseals but I have been vacinated. My levels of toxmoplasmosis was 158,5 ml which show atnibodies. All my dr. said that these two antibodies are a positive thing. Acording to my Dr. All my test are normal and the problem is my husband´s low sperm count and poor mobility. Does anyone else have antibodies to the meseles and to toxmoplamosis ac IgG? Does it influence the FIV?
Here is our history:
We have no kids, we have been married for 6 years. We were both over weight and last year we had a vertical gastroplsty and I lost 70 kilos my husband lost 85 kilos. This will be our first FIV cycle.
Me 39 I had four pulps of 6 cm each removed last September but now everything is ok.
My blood work:
• FSH= 7.2 ml
• LH= 5.7 ml
• Beta= 41.6 ml
• Prolactina = 14.1 ml
• RPR= Negative
• Toxoplasmosis ac IgG= 158.5ml (antibodies)
• Toxoplasmosis ac IgM = Negative
• Measels ac IgG= 123,8 ml (antibodies)
• Hormone AMH(Antimulleriana) = 2.85
• Feritina(that’s what it is called in spanish I have no idea what is it called in english) 50.6 ml
• DNA test normal Chromoson strand 46 XX (this test in Spanish is called Cariotipo I have no idea what is it called in english)
My Husbands Seperm count.
• Concentration : 0.7 mil /ml it should be >= 20 mil/ml
• Progesion : 9% it should be >= 50 mil/ml
• Apect : very constrentrated and little mobility
• Total recount= 640,000 ml
• % of inmobile = 90%
• % of normal morfology= 60%
• % of head abnormal morfology =20%
• %of abnormal mid zone morfology = !0%
• %of abnormal tail =10%
All my other husbands’ blood work came out well. Our Chromosone strand is 46. Another similarity is we are both B+. Any coments, advice are all welcomed and higly apprishiated.
I will keep all of you with update as I get closer to my starting point. I look forward to reading all your update. I wish you all good luck and hope you have a wonderful day routing for all positive thing for all of you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good morning everyone !!!
well spoke to the nurse yesterday... have to start my stims tom ..
will start on menopur and bravelle both +lupron still continues ....
estrillita how is it going so far ??

Welcome eve!!!As far as measles are concerned ,not sure if u r having the same problem as me cause I remember they found it in me too when I was preg. with my first child and they vaccinated me with the MMR vaccine after my delivery ..Although my mom said that I was vaccinated for it in my childhood .. I am not sure you have the same issue or not .. but remember one thing after getting the vaccine u are told not to conceive for 3 months as it is a live vaccine ...and as far as toxoplasmosis is concerned ,in my medical school ,I remember it usually comes from cats and their litter .. do u have a cat as a pet or does anyone in ur family has one ???I hope this is helpful ...Anywayzz good luck with everything :D

Hi Everyone!
Thank you all for your good wishes :lol:
Medstudent You know it's funny that I'm always say I'm sometimes taurus and sometimes Aries. It depends on the horoscope because some start Taurus on April 20 or 21. But I always read both and the one I like better I'm that one for that time. :lol:
Very nice on 8-10 follies. We are almost the same :wink:
FFZ Thank you and Good Luck on your cycle. Injections are scary but when you are ready to do it, you think about the results and it's worth the pain :? :wink:
Eve2860 Hola! Best of Luck! No idea about those antibodies but hope they are good things :)
Faith Hi! Ready? Finally :lol:
I'm doing good. Last night it took longer for DH to do the injections. I tell him to do the Lupron first because I don't feel that one. But when he was ready to do the stim I told him to hold, and everytime he said ready? I said: wait!! lol How many Menopur and Bravelle will you be using?

AFM I went this am to have my bw and us and have to go back Thursday. My RE said she sees about 10 follies on each side but they are too small to know. But she said that's the way she wants them for now. Everything looks good :wink:
For now, more injections and waiting :roll:
