I was in the April/May forums, and felt everyone was a little more ahead in their cycle, as I am currently still on BCP, and start Lupron April 27th... so I thought I come and join this group!!
This is my first cycle of IVF - partial coverage by OHIP, left tube removed and right tube distal blockage from multiple abdominal surguries. So excited to finally start this process and hope for the best!!
Rocky - Hello!! Soo sorry for your losses! My heart goes out to you!! One thing you mentioned about your linning being thin, but your embryos still took is great news! My is a little on the thin side about 6.8, but when you hear all these other ladies with 9+ it makes you worry!! Glad to know...
Annoula - Sorry you have had so many troubles! Hope you get the answers you are looking for!
Mystelle and MEMac - We have similar stories and experience - wish I knew about this site prior, when I had the ectopic - would have been nice talking to you! And MEMac, glad to see things moving along!
I hope and pray that this will be our lucky cycle!!
Talk to y'all soon...

Like you Polskababy, I think that I may need to switch over to the next group. I think you all may by far ahead of me as I won't start stimming until mid-June.
I'm going to keep lurking to see how you all are doing - *sprinkling loads of baby dust* to you all.
Cheers,
Greenie!

Just went for my orientation meeting yesterday, and expect to start injections May 25th, with egg retrieval around June 25th. Originally, I was supposed to start early May, with ER early June, but last week I went for my day three blood test (AF was 10 days early ?!?) so that I could start the BCP, and the results surprised us by saying that I was pregnant but going through a miscarriage. So ... blood test came back negative yesterday, and depending what the next AF does ... I'm hoping things will go as scheduled for my first IVF.
I apologize if I'm not in the right spot as this is all new to me and I am hoping to find some friends to learn from and share this journey with.
take care!

Charm- I am so sorry about your m/c
Kristina - how did the follow up go?
Everyone else how are things progressing?

Posted 20 April 2012 - 03:39 PM
Kristina, good luck with your appointment today! FX that all is in order!
Charm, sorry to hear about your m/c. At the same time, kind of neat and inspirational to see that we can all still get pregnant naturally! Good luck in next phase of this journey.
Glad things are moving along for everyone!
I kind of had good news this week... long story short, we had to leave our local clinic due to long wait time... my WTF appointment was scheduled 6 months after my failed cycle. After shopping in Montreal and finding a good clinic, the local one call to schedule my WTF appointment next week. We'll see what happens, but it would be nice to cycle closer to home... I'll keep you posted.

Welcome notalone2! I am so sorry to hear of your negative outcomes I too will be starting BCP in May and IVF mid June, looks like we will be really close together! I know how upsetting the disappointments can be and just how hard it is to muster up excitement for another cycle, but this could be the lucky one for you! I am trusting in that now that the Dr.'s know what went wrong, they will be able to adjust my meds to yield a better result. Good luck
EOE I hope your having a good weekend!

I went to my first appointment on Wednesday and was told that I could start cycle Monitoring next month.
Dr. pointed out 2 issues:
1) 1 to 2 day spotting prior my period
2) Endometriosis forms so many toxics and toxics kill sperms
So Dr. said IVF would be the only option, he also suggested ICSI to maximize the chance.
I then sent to have blood test (17 tubes of blood), I went to another fertility clinic in 2008 and I didn't recall I had to do that many screenings.
Is it normal to all of you? Or it really depends?
I am excited and yet nervous because it's gonna me my first attempt on IVF.
The plan is to take 3 weeks of Birth Control Pills, then start injections...etc.... It's a very tough journey and I don't know what my protocol for now as Dr. has to study my blood test result...etc...
I just had a lap surgery on April 4, 2012, to remove Endo and I am now waiting for AF to come....hope the surgery doesn't affect my cycle.
I wish everyone a success!!!!!!! Glad that I found this site.....it's like "I am not alone!!!!!".
Good Luck everyone!!!!!!!!

Natalon, welcome! This site is amazing for support! Your last cycle was similar to mine. The Embryologist didn't perform ICSI either (even though it said in our file that he should have). We had 5 egg retrieve and 3 fertilized. Our cycle was cancelled b/c none of our eggs made it to blast. When we met with different Drs to ask for a second opinion they were all shocked that they hadn't performed ICSI. Said he was really lucky that even 3 fertilized! It's easy to think of all that can go wrong, but you must stay positive! IVF was a trial run! Now, they know what they know... so it will make this next cycle even better! Here's to making it to transfer this time around!
Johenry: Congrats on your first round of IVF! you'll see, it's really not that bad! The worst part is the waiting, waiting, waiting! I've already forgotten what the needles and bloating feels like! I can't wait to start again! Good luck to you!
CJ: Thanks for putting this list together! Can't wait to be stimming! Also looking forward to all of you ladies names to start moving down the board! It's very exciting!
Happy lazy sunday!

I am new to this website and have enjoyed reading all of your posts. My husband and I are scheduled for our first ivf cycle the first week in june and I am extremely nervous. We have been ttc for 4 years now and have a dx of unexplained infertility. Any tips or peices of advice from anyone? Thanks

Posted 22 April 2012 - 08:49 PM
Glad that everyone is moving along well. I've been laying low for a while--it's not easy to not think about this cycle, but I'm trying as best I can until I start stimming and things really get exciting!
Kristina, I just checked messages today, and see you asked about my endo. I actually went to see a naturopath in Toronto, and she did a food intolerance test on me which shows that I'm intolerant mainly to gluten, dairy, and eggs (the best stuff, of course). so she wants me to avoid all those things for the next month--feels it's causing my endo to flare up, and making it difficult to get any implantation happening. She's also put me on omega, something called deep immune (by douglas labs), reloraplex, and ribus nigrum. Don't ask me about what all this means, I just think as I mentioned before that I'm up for trying anything. I feel actually pretty good on the diet and supplements, so it's not so hard to continue. Then when I start stimming she'll see me again to tell me what I can stay on throughout.
Otherwise, still on bcps. I'll be starting suprefact on may 3rd, and then we'll see....
have a great sunday night ladies!!
ps-thanks for the info for the signature, I'm gonna try it now!

Johenry - I had a lot of blood work done too. I will say that IVF has gotten me over my fear of needles! My first IVF was the same protocol that you described, 3 weeks of BCP and then injections. My injections were for about 9 days and then I had my trigger medicine and it was off to retrieval. Once you start the injections everything starts moving quickly. It is a very exciting experiance. I found that my nurses, u/s techs and dr.'s were very good at answering my questions, I am one of those patients that needs to have all of my questions answered so that I can feel more in control by really understanding the process and exactly what's happening to my body. Heregoesnothing is rite, the waiting is really the hardest part! Glad you joined the thread!
Heregoesnothing - good luck with your appointment this week! Fx'd for you!

SweetPea33 - welcome!
AFM - still on BCPs for another 12 days, which makes 33 days in a row total. Not sure if this is supposed to help with my cycle somehow, or if it's to help with scheduling at the clinic...
Has anyone here ever taken Saizen? It's human growth hormone (injection) and is supposed to help with poor egg quality. Just wondering if there are any side effects?

I want to ask you all a question.
I used to have very regular cycles! Even after a surgery, my AF still came on time.
Things changed this time. My AF should be here on 21st of April but till now, I got nothing.
My RE advised me that it usually took 9 days to get all the blood work result so he asked me to start cycle monitoring next month (which I assumed it's 21st of May).
Since now, my AF hasn't arrived and it's been over a week since I saw my RE.
I emailed the nurse and asked if I should start cycle monitoring this cycle (as I think, all my blood work result should be ready by now). The Nurse said I could start on DAY 2 of this cycle.
My question is....Did my surgery this time affect my cycle? It looks weird to me cos' in the past, I had my AF came accurately every time after each surgery.
Is it normal?
Good luck to all of us!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: 32 DH: 33
TTC: 6 years
Diagnosed with severe endometriosis in 2010
2006: C-Section to Remove a fibroid inside my uterus
2008: Lap surgery to remove a polyp inside my uterus and tried 3 cycles of clomids, no luck
2010: Lap surgery to remove Endo and correct my left tube, tried 2 cycles of IUI with clomids and ovidrel, no luck
2012: Lap surgery to remove Endo and remove a polyp inside my uterus
Tried IUI, acupuncture, herbal medication, no luck.
