Nah, I’m still not bloody pregnant! … and I’ve been testing each day
Although, I am very, very lucky. I have a wonderful 23 year old niece who says she’ll donate me some eggs. I am meeting with her in a couple of weeks. I’ll let you know how the conversation goes – eek. Such [...]

It’s six days post my two day transfer and my home pregnancy test this morning showed not pregnant. I don’t know what else to say. Married for 11 years. No baby.
My attitude towards IVF has changed. I have started to view it as a waste of money, for me. Maybe I’m sick of the roller-coaster. [...]

I had two embryos transferred on Thursday. One was a grade 2 and the other was a grade 3.
I have been waiting for word from the clinic regarding the quality of the remaining embryos; were there any left for freezing? I found out today that none could be frozen. Ouch.
It all seems a little like [...]

OK so I’m not excited. I had nine eggs. Yay. It’s just that last time I had 11 eggs and only two viable embryos. Maybe it’s just the anaesthetic wearing off. I can’t get excited until I find out the egg and embryo quality.
Sorry. My husband and I had a massive, massive problem this morning [...]

Twas the night before egg pickup and all through the house … the cat was arunning, like chasing a mouse.
The ovaries were wincing, from their heavy load … and the mother was giddy, like she’d kissed a toad.
With the husband home late and the house a slight mess … she cuddled the cat and tried [...]

As always, I have another three days of injections to go prior to the trigger.
Seeings how I was using Clomid instead of Synarel I have to take two extra injections of Orgalutran (antagonist) to avoid premature ovulation. I think from memory (from what my doctor said) the Synarel inhibits your pituitary gland whilst the clomid stimultates [...]

Well, I must admit that I have had no symptoms (yet) from the clomid and Gonal-F. I hope they’re working! I’m going in for a scan on Thursday to see how things are looking. I am so apprehensive because I don’t know how the clomid will work with me. It could make a bad cycle or [...]

Well, I just took my first dose of clomiphene. Two tablets each 50mg. I start the Gonal-F injections tomorrow – only 300 iu this time.
My cat and dog are getting along very well nowadays. The kitten loves the dog and often wants to play with him. She runs up and flings her body into the [...]

Clomiphene. That’s my new protocol.
The trouble is that I’ve heard a few horror stories about what it’s like to be on clomid. Well, I’m gonna find out myself now, and between you and me, I’m a bit excited. Another tactic. Another chance to produce better eggs.
I start the clomid three days after my next period begins. [...]

I never wanted to create a new category on this blog but I have … “Attempt 5″.
Well, it could be short lived. I’ve got an appointment with my IVF doctor on the 24th June and he could tell me that it’s all a waste of time now. Hmmm. What to do. I would like to [...]
