1st try with IVF

[Liverpool]

Hello everyone,

I am happy to say I am joining you with the October treatment , I have nearly finished my injections to get those lovely folicles growing, Its taken about a week to get them going, we went to the clinic this morning and they said to go again on Saturday morning for another scan and they reckon they should be good and ready. I am not sure how it works after that coz I cant seem to take in all the information as I feel rather shell shocked as I have waited for a baby for so long now that this doesn't seem real, mind you the side effects seem real enough. I am so tired, weepy, iritable, and sometimes feel sick but it will be worth it all if it works out. So hopefully on Saturday we will start the cetrotide injection. Can someone tell me what happens then.

Wishing you all so much luck,
Tracie

Just wanted to say hi again - I have replied to you on the October thread.

Good luck with the treatment and a big shout to those follies.

Hi Tracie

I've found you here too ! I've just copied and pasted from the Oct thread :

I haven't used your drugs, but I am doing a Cetrotide protocol too next cycle. When you start the Cetrotide you'll just continue with the Menopur inj too (they may alter the dose, according to your daily/bi-daily blood results). When you have 3 follicles at least 18mm you'll be almost cooked. You'll then do a late night HCG injection (maybe Pregnyl) and stop the Menopur/Cetrotide at that point. 36 hours after HCG inj you'll be having egg collection ! Then - dependent on your clinc - embryo replacement is usually between 2-5 days later.

Good luck !!
