Last cycle was a bust. I did injectables but didn’t ovulate until cd 38!! The theory is that the dose was too high. My FS has asked if I would like to try something ‘different’ and then gone away on holidays…
So in his absence I’m doing injectables again but a slightly lower [...]

Am I done?

Decidedly lacklustre…
That’s me, as I start TTC cycle #36, I think. I am doing injectables and timed intercourse. My bulk pack of OPK’s and HPT’s are winging their way to me as I type and I start Estrogen and Gonal-F tomorrow.
I don’t feel excited though. It’s more a question of ‘I hope I [...]

Never underestimate the effect of hormones
Yes, I am still in the land of the living and feeling pretty good. I have no doubt that the massive hormone fluctuations involved in IVF by their very nature make the whole process so much harder to cope with. Back in ‘normal hormone land’ I am fairly philosophical about yet another failure. I know [...]

Big fat Negative
My period came early. Just what I need to throw me completely off schedule. I haven’t had time to talk to my FS about not doing the flare again yet.
So I am day 2 tomorrow and still don’t know what my drug orders are. I went for a blood test this morning as AF was [...]

7dpo and wishing I’d thought to test out the trigger!
Why didn’t I? I really want to test as I do every cycle as I’m convinced I’m not pregnant but clinging to desperate hope that I am. I hate, hate, hate being in limbo! I’m 9 days past the 10000iu Ovidrel trigger today. I know that with my IUI’s I tested negative by about 8-9 [...]

5dpo and waiting with baited breath
Of course I’m not at that irrational stage where I expect to feel ’something’ by now so it must all be a flop.
I’ve ordered some cheap online pregnancy tests and toyed with testing really early and posting them each day so that if a line was to appear later on it would be documented. I’ve [...]

My final fling
I am about to start my final bid. I will hopefully see my FS sometime this week for a protocol.
It’s been two months since I lost the twins and I’m only just back to ‘normal’. I miscarried naturally but ended up in emergency with one of the foetuses trapped in my cervix. It was excruciating [...]

Go figure – I hereby declare I no longer know my body at all.
I’ve been quietly drifting along this cycle. My FS didn’t want me to trigger and I didn’t manage to schedule a scan so I don’t know :
How many follicles I grew on 225iu Gonal-F
How many follicles I ovulated
Exactly when I ovulated because things didn’t add up as accurately as normal
I’m still charting and my temp [...]

It’s been a while…
Well, it goes without saying that nothing eventuated from my little experiment. The following month I took a break from everything – well except for a little Vitex. Does that count? I couldn’t take nothing…
Today is cd2 of cycle 27. This month I’m taking 225iu of Gonal-F for 7 – 10 days and [...]

Ho Hum
This month I’ve decided to try Femara and Estrogen Heaven forbid I do nothing after all. I started Femara a day later than usual which seems to suit me better because it hasn’t brought my ovulation date forward at all. I must say though I am ready for a wee break. I get [...]
