Welcome!
I'm on those meds plus Bravelle this cycle. None of it make me feel good but so far this cycle I've been able to tolerate it. I'm having difficulty with a different med that's makes me feel fatigued all the time.
I go in for my second check today. I hope to hear that things are progressing well but I know anything is possible. Heading to acupuncture afterwards and hope I can get some relief from this headache and nausea. How is everyone else doing?
I'm really sorry to hear your cycle didn't work out as planned. To hear your son ask for a sister is heartbreaking too. Have you consulted with your RE about the outcome yet? Are there any changes he suggests.
OK well ban for me. I pray the rest of u don't follow me.
Girls my son said this morning after his prayer that it was time for his baby to come. He has been asking for a little sister for 9 months. he prays for her all the time.
Hi Thania
I have just done first ivf but I was not on the same drugs as you...I'm in Australia and the main drug they use here is called Gonal F, so I can't tell you about side effects of these particular ones but in general some people experience side effects like cramping, fatigue, moodiness and nausea on these meds. However, some people don't! I was a lucky one who had no side effects at all, I wouldn't even have known it was happening if I hadn't been injecting myself each day!
Good luck with your ivf cycle :)

I have several more. I will test again tonight just to see. I will also test tomorrow. U and 3 others said they saw a line. I pray u guys are correct.
I still think there was a faint line on your IC this morning rmmoye. Do you have anymore of those to test with again? I personally always have darker BFP's with evening urine.
Good Luck with your beta!
I don't blame u. I would freeze as many as u can while u are younger. I know we have 1 frozen but I am hoping that we have 2-3 frozen. thye have not called me to tell me of any of the other ones made it.
I will keep u up to date. I am using IC. I only have 1 $ one so I am going to wait to do it sunday. I have posted the picture of the opks( also internet cheapy ) on line. u can look in my pictures and see them. I started opks at 5dpt and for the first time this morning I did a hpt. Feel free to look at them. I will again test in the morning and post.
Hi and welcome!
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
I know you mentioned testing the okp theory but what hpts are you using if I may ask? The first response early results tend to pick up positives well before beta in my experience. Or even some of the internet cheapies that pick up like 10ml ! The cramping or tugging feelings can be a good sign. As you know every cycle is different and makes you constantly wonder if it worked. I'm glad you don't have that many more days to wait for beta. July first will be here before you know it! Please let us know how things turn out for you! Glad you got a couple to freeze too! We have two frozen but elected to do another fresh cycle since we transfer so many at one time. The other reason for doing another fresh cycle is that those frozen are frozen at a younger maternal age.
ok girls i went through my first ivf for this first time this month. After 6 years of ttc we did our er on fathers day and the transfer last friday i am doing the whole opk thing to test to see if it gets darker. the theory is that if u are pregnant the opk wil get darker. as of this morning it was dark but the hpt was neg. i test this morning for the first time with the hpt. i go for my beta on July 1st.
We retrieved 13, 9 were mature 1 partly mature, 3 not mature enough to fertilize. out of what fertilized 3 stayed at 1 cell, and as for last friday we had 3 blast 1 grad bc( we froze it, On day 3 it was 10 cell grad c but improved and made it to blast first.) and two grad b blast ( on day 3 they were 8 cell grad b, they didnt blast until around noon on day 5). we then had the rest still trying they were not blast yet. on day 3 they were 4 cell & 5 cell both grade c and then 2 6 cells grade b. he was hoping the 6 cells would make it to blast by day 6 so they could be frozen. i have not heard anything yet.
I have had a lot of cramping. been watery (cm) for the last few days. and I am very regular in the bm area.
I will happily share all of my experiences with u girls.
Fancy meeting you here :) September will be here before you know it! I can't believe July is literally around the corner.
I tried posting here yesterday but it didn't go thru for some reason. I think this is a good way for us to connect! Welcome and may each of us be successful this summer!
I was supposed to be starting in July, but due to some clinic issues and then my city flooding, we pushed it off until September. I'd live to follow along with your journey and help you out where I can.
Good Luck!
