Howdy! Figured I'd jump over here from the June/July thread. My appointment to get my IVF treatment schedule/plan isn't until July 18th, so I'm guessing my retrieval will probably be in August sometime? I had to wait 10 weeks to get an IVF appointment at my clinic (where I was already an IUI patient) - ridiculous! But the time is slowly ticking by... only 2 more weeks to go!

@OCfortythree - I turn 38 next week. No problem about asking It can be depressing to look at the RE chart stats on age, but everyone's body is different!
@sleepyrn - Best of luck on the weight loss. These protocols make a bunch of us gain weight, so I can imagine its extra challenging to try to lose it while on some of the meds.
@Monica54321 - That is ridiculous timing! I hope you happy with your clinic and that the length of time represents how good they are (and therefore, how busy!)
AFM: I *may* get bumped to the September cycle. Good thing @wifeinraleigh28 had me change the title! I guess my husband's numbers were quite a bit down and morphology worse than his last SA. They said we can still be successful. The RE requested he take Fertilaid and they'll decide if they are moving us or not. They requested all of the labs from my husband's urologist from the past 2 months. I'm just going with the flow at this point ... what can you do. I'll move it they think it will increase our chances. Anyone else have any experience with Fertilaid?
@stranzm I'm sorry the numbers are down... do you mind sharing with me why that would make a difference with IVF? We are doing IVF because of low sperm count, so hearing that you might be delayed because they want to increase the numbers is kind of alarming to me. I was under the impression that as long as you have SOME sperm you can still do IVF!

@wifeinraleigh28 - You are right. That is why my OB/GYN always asks me about birth control...she says it only takes one. I've told her that if I get pregnant on my own - great, its the miracle child we are supposed to have. His motility numbers are down as well, not just the sperm count. Please don't be alarmed!! We had a bad month of May...and my husband had issues with the tubes that carry the sperm, etc. We *think* it was an infection caused by the Hand, Foot, and Mouth virus. My husband and I got it, which is very abnormal. I wouldn't wish it on anyone! Anyway, we may just need another month to see more recovery. The urologist told us to go forward, the RE is the one who may want to delay. I think it because they want the very best chance for us...I've been very clear this is my last fresh cycle.

I got required blood work done this morning for further testing, had my transfer trial, and hysteroscopy (Ow!) which was required by my insurance. They also took a sample of my tissue (also ow!). The doctor said my uterus looked perfect, but he did have to break through some scar tissue. He didn't say much about it, other than it should be fine and he wasn't sure why it would be there. I wonder if that could be a reason for not getting pregnant?
Hey all! I'll be lurking over here. I had my ER on June 23rd and did PGS so looking more and more like an August transfer. I just learned my doctor is going on vacation the last couple weeks in July, so hopefully my PGS results are back in time before that. They snuck me in on the schedule 2 days short of the 3 weeks they require from egg retrievel to hopefully have the results back in time before she left so we can develop a plan for transfer (pending we have any normal embryos).
@Monica54321 Love your leggings! None of the lularoe consultants I buy from had those or I might have snagged those too. I think I have over 20 pairs of leggings at this point, I'm obsessed!
Hey @BornReady, I've added you to our August/September list! Here's hoping you've got normal embryos!
@Stars2016 Hopefully the scar tissue won't be an issue. I think that can be a pretty common thing.

Hi everyone! I'm officially on the August ER/ET list, fx my stimming goes well. I'm starting Estrace and Testosterone tonight, Ganirelix 21st -27th, then start Follistim and Menopur, adding in more Ganirelix towards the end. My RE is calling it the San Diego protocol. ER and ET hopefully some time the week of August 8th (my 41st is the 7th). Has anyone had a similar protocol?
@Stars2016 i have a lot of scar tissue too. It's not a problem,they just note it for the transfer. My RE did say that she might, put a 'stitch' in my cervix during the ER to make the ET easier.
I recognize a lot of you from the other boards. Glad to be back on the path with you. @wifeinraleigh28 love love love your list! Also, loved all the patriotic leggings, I went with flag boat shoes this year

@stranzm, sorry DH's numbers are down. I'm curious to see what my DH's numbers will be, since he's been taking supplements.
@LaFemmeViolette & @20T, I was almost late to fireworks because I had to do my shots. I was the designated driver so everyone was waiting for me, LOL.
AFM - started the Gonal-F pen on Friday - was totally confused about the dosage and had to call the 24 hour nurse line at 9:30pm. I added Menopur to the mix on Sunday night and that stung a bit. I'm glad I only have to take it for a week (hopefully). My ultrasound is on Saturday morning and if everything looks good, trigger shot should be around the 12th. My Ob/GYN wants me to have a mammogram before we move forward with everything and that's also on Saturday morning, right after my ultrasound (I've never had one before). I think I'll need to have a glass of wine after all of that!
Blessings to all this week!

@shauna43 FET buddies! I also stopped birth control pills on 7/3. I'm currently taking 10 units of lupron each night. I'm waiting on PGD/PGS results to come back so transfer will be contingent on that but I'm hopeful I'll be able to keep my August 2nd date. Sending good thoughts your way!

@LeFemmeViolette I'm on Follistim & Menopur too (today is day 8)! I'm with you on the fatigue and I've found that if I'm not constantly hydrating I get a low-level headache that lingers. The longer I'm on them, the heavier my lower belly feels but it's been surprisingly manageable (although I guess I shouldn't count my chickens just yet as it's not over!).
Welcome, @AugustAng - I hope you get good news about some embies. I'll be in the same boat a couple weeks from now, with a Sept FET (IF we have anything to freeze).
@LaFemmeviolette - I'm on Gonal-F and Menopur but I think Gonal-F is the same as Follistim. I've been tired and have had some cramping. Thankfully, the headaches haven't hit me (knock on wood). I have been drinking lots of coconut water, which has some additional vitamins. The only other thing I've had are some stomach issues - but not sure if that's from the injectables or the Estradiol suppositories (or something I ate??). I hope your side effects continue to be limited!

Yes, I had my ER in May, we froze all because my estrogen and progesterol levels were too high. We have 9 frozen embabies, we will transfer 2 perfect ones! FX
Looks like I'll be transferring earlier than we thought (July 26). My uterine biopsy was negative for infection and I ended up getting AF on day 8 of provera (totally unexpected!). Can I still hang out here with you guys since the June/July group is crazy big?!

me:41 dh:42 me:PCOS, blocked left fallopian tube, hyperprolactinemia (dh's swimmers are perfect/normal) Tried 3 rounds of clomid with Ovidrel trigger (BFNs) May/June 2016 IVF 6/1 ER 7 eggs retrieved, 7 fertilized via ICSI 6 embryos made it to blasts. 6/6 2 AA embryos transfered, 4 BBs frozen Beta 6/18 -- BFN FET #1 August 22 BFN Dec 2016/Jan 2017 Round 2 was a bust. 6 eggs, Only 1 embryo made it, no transfer FET #2 cancelled 10/17 due to uterine polyps. Postponed until 9/2018 due to hip replacement.
FET #3 9/11/18 Uterine scratch and antihistamine protocol/lovenox done this time. 2 AA hatching blasts put in. BFP 9/20/18!!
I'll be joining this group. I started on Lupron on July 4th and will add on Gonal F and Menopur on 7/15 with hopes of ER on 7/27. Then we will do PGS testing and continue with a FET at the end of September. Seems like a long ways off.
Day 4 on follistim/menopur and I'm still pretty tired, but now I also woke up with a headache this morning. It's not too bad if I am stationary, but if I stand up or bend down or anything it starts throbbing.
Is it ok to take advil? I've read some things about how advil can accidentally make you ovulate early or something. Would tylenol be ok?

@sleepyrn - Best of luck on the weight loss. These protocols make a bunch of us gain weight, so I can imagine its extra challenging to try to lose it while on some of the meds.
@Monica54321 - That is ridiculous timing! I hope you happy with your clinic and that the length of time represents how good they are (and therefore, how busy!)
AFM: I *may* get bumped to the September cycle. Good thing @wifeinraleigh28 had me change the title! I guess my husband's numbers were quite a bit down and morphology worse than his last SA. They said we can still be successful. The RE requested he take Fertilaid and they'll decide if they are moving us or not. They requested all of the labs from my husband's urologist from the past 2 months. I'm just going with the flow at this point ... what can you do. I'll move it they think it will increase our chances. Anyone else have any experience with Fertilaid?

I got required blood work done this morning for further testing, had my transfer trial, and hysteroscopy (Ow!) which was required by my insurance. They also took a sample of my tissue (also ow!). The doctor said my uterus looked perfect, but he did have to break through some scar tissue. He didn't say much about it, other than it should be fine and he wasn't sure why it would be there. I wonder if that could be a reason for not getting pregnant?
Hey @BornReady, I've added you to our August/September list! Here's hoping you've got normal embryos!
@Stars2016 Hopefully the scar tissue won't be an issue. I think that can be a pretty common thing.

@Stars2016 i have a lot of scar tissue too. It's not a problem,they just note it for the transfer. My RE did say that she might, put a 'stitch' in my cervix during the ER to make the ET easier.
I recognize a lot of you from the other boards. Glad to be back on the path with you.

@wifeinraleigh28, good luck this week!
@stranzm, sorry DH's numbers are down. I'm curious to see what my DH's numbers will be, since he's been taking supplements.
@LaFemmeViolette & @20T, I was almost late to fireworks because I had to do my shots. I was the designated driver so everyone was waiting for me, LOL.
AFM - started the Gonal-F pen on Friday - was totally confused about the dosage and had to call the 24 hour nurse line at 9:30pm. I added Menopur to the mix on Sunday night and that stung a bit. I'm glad I only have to take it for a week (hopefully). My ultrasound is on Saturday morning and if everything looks good, trigger shot should be around the 12th. My Ob/GYN wants me to have a mammogram before we move forward with everything and that's also on Saturday morning, right after my ultrasound (I've never had one before). I think I'll need to have a glass of wine after all of that!
Blessings to all this week!

@LaFemmeviolette - I'm on Gonal-F and Menopur but I think Gonal-F is the same as Follistim. I've been tired and have had some cramping. Thankfully, the headaches haven't hit me (knock on wood). I have been drinking lots of coconut water, which has some additional vitamins. The only other thing I've had are some stomach issues - but not sure if that's from the injectables or the Estradiol suppositories (or something I ate??). I hope your side effects continue to be limited!
