Day 18- NOW IUI

Hi All,

Just a quick update. We saw the fertility specialist on Thursday and unfortuenately there was no improvement. Just the one follicle that he could see. We have been transferred to an Inter-Uterine Insemination (IUI) cycle. The procedure is booked in for Monday at 9:30am. I did my last injection tonight at 9:30pm which was the ovulation "trigger" injection.

Love & Peace,

Day 14- IVF ICSI

Hi There,

We just saw the Fertility Specialist and at this stage we are able to continue FSH until Thursday. On Thursday the decision will be made as to whether we will do IVF (Egg Pick Up if there are enough follicles) or just Inter Uterine Insemination. Either way we have a chance of getting pregnant. IVF is just a much better chance for us approximately 40% VS 3% due to the Male Infertility Factor. The IVF costs a lot more and at this stage to go ahead would be relying on just the one follicle that is there at the moment. It's not the best news but at least we have a plan b now.

Still remaining positive!

Day 13- IVF ICSI

Hi All,

Just a quick update.
We saw our Fertility Specialist on Saturday and he put my dose of stimulator up to 175iu. I see him tomorrow morning and the decision will then be made as to whether we continue to Egg Pick Up or not. There was very little change to the size of the follicles on Saturday.

Day 8- IVF ICSI

Hi All,

Just saw my Fertility Specialist. Things aren't looking great. I have one leading follicle and no others that are anywhere near the threshold for pick up. He has put up my dose to 150iu and we will see him Saturday. It is very unlikely that we will go to Egg Pick Up on Monday. Praying that this extra dose helps bring some other follicles up. We need three to four more for the IVF to proceed sometime next week.

Trying to remain positive.

Day 6- IVF ICSI

Hi

Just left the doctors. Had a scan and there are follicles but none are showing alot of growth at the moment. This afternoon I will ring for the results of my blood test and we will see if we will up the dosage of FSH. Hoping for something a little more positive on Wednesday. The doctor has given me a prescription for anti histamean for the allergic reaction to the the blocker injections.

The doctor is going to get a second opinion on my Prolactin levels, at this stage no action is required.

Still remaining positive!

Results from phone conversation- Dose put up to 112.5iu.

Day 5- IVF ICSI

Hi There,

Just giving an update. FSH Gonal F injections are going well. Tonight at 9pm I did my first blocker injection which is called Orgalutran. Didn't have a good time with this one as the needle was blunt. Took five goes to get it in. It has left me with a big red welt and very itchy at the site of the injection. Hope this is temporary and not a bad side effect. I will mention it tomorrow morning to the Fertility Specialist when I see him. Hoping for good news in relation to my levels and hopefully the go ahead to continue the FSH to egg pick up.

I will put an update on here when we know what's happening.

Positive thinking!

Day 2- IVF ICSI

Hi Guys,

Nothing much to report today. Feeling a little unwell. It may have been something I ate though, my stomach is pretty sensitive. Injection number two was a breeze!

I really love this song at the moment. It's totally how I feel right now.
