Hi there, i have just finished my first round of public funded IVF. Unfortunately it was unsuccessful, I am due for my next round to start in Dec. I found the first round extremely scary not knowing what to expect, but the support on these forums from real women with past experiences really helped me alot.
I am more than happy to offer support or any questions you may have.
Good luck for your blood test and fingers crossed for your egg collection being on Monday.

Hi Sez27,
Thank you for your reply, I'm sorry to hear about your first try hopefully the second one would be successful. I'm super scared at the moment but so excited at the same time I'm trying to think positive and also not to get my hopes up too high incase it wont work for me either, i've being trying to conceive for 7yrs now and still no luck...  Anyway, would you mind telling me what happen?do you know the reason why it failed? can you share your story? Sorry to be so nosy i just wanted to know and how long again can you try after an unsuccessful cycle? how was your egg collection was it painful? Thanks so much and hoping to hear from you again!

We have been trying for around 8 years so I totally know how you feel. I have moderate endo and my DH has low coount/motility.
I too was scared before the actual treatment. For me it was painful but it does depend on the person, it took me 2 hours to recover afterwards, yet the other ladies that day where in and out no problem. Everyone seems to have different experiences. Because of the sedatives I can't really remember the pain now and it was quick so I would totally do it again, no problem. The whole thing only lasted around 15 minutes or so and they tell you how many eggs you get as they go. We got 10 eggs from our cycle with 6 fertilising. Unfortunatley by the time of the transfer we only had one that was viable. So had a day 5 transfer with a day 4 embryo. We haven;t had our follow up appt yet but they did say at the time that they thought it may be a sperm issue so we will address that next time around. DH is starting menevit now to hopefully improve things for the next time around.
Not sure about the waiting times. Our first cycle was Aug and the next Dec, I think it depends on funding because some ladies at different clinics have to wait longer.
I guess my only advice is try not to stress, which is hard with the unknown. I actually found the tww after the embryo transfer the hardest because of the waiting.
Hope everything goes well for your transfer.

Hi Olijoy, Just wanted to say all the best for your first cycle... it is a very stressful and hard time but exciting as well. I went through premature menopause so have know since I was 16 that I would need IVF and an egg donor if I was to have children. We went through our first cycle in dec07-feb08 got five eggs but only one good one that was put back....HCG was 13 so a BFN. Started another cycle in may this year got four good eggs two of which we have already used and had a BFN (big fat negative). I'm on meds at the moment planning a put back for the 21st sept. I totally know what the waiting game is like!!! You'll enjoy this forum and being able to chat and hear what other people are going through.

Hi Sez27 and Moogle,
Thanks for your support, had my egg collection yesterday and had 10 eggs collected it was painful but tolerable the whole day i had mild cramping but its fine now, had found out this morning that 9 out of 10 had been fertilized will find out on thursday when is the transfer hope everything goes well... and i wish you both success on your next cycle.
By the way i have a case of unexplained fertility which is really frustrating knowing there's no problem with both of us i really wish this is the solution to the unknown...

Hi Olijoy, glad to hear your egg collection went really well, nine eggs is great!! Here's hoping they all do well in the lab! if your put back is thurs you'll probably be getting your results around the same time as me. I had a blood test to check everything today (all is good) start pessaries tomorrow and put back monday, all going well I'll my blood test will be on the 30th.

Hi Olijay, awesome 10 eggs with 9 fertilising.. good job! I hope you get a good healthy embie for your transfer! Good luck.
Moogle, good luck for your transfer also. You are both going to do the TWW together... I found that part the hardest. Trying not to stress was the biggest hurdle for me. Hope you have some relaxing things planned for the wait. Fingers crossed for you both!

Hi Olijoy well done on a good collection, hope they grow on well for you in the lab. The whole IVF process is pretty intense (I've just been through an unsuccessful one with both fresh and frozen blastocysts), but I'm up for a second attempt now (luckily) and I'll put myself through anything to try to get a little baby
I think anyone who puts themselves through IVF is very brave and the forums on here are absolutely brilliant support so 'post' away!
Good luck for your transfer, and to you too Moogle!!

Hi Olijoy, had my put back today - all good! YAY! I'm a little confused though cause I also have my blood test on the 30th yet we both had a day 5 blasti put back on two different days?? Generally you have the test on day 14 so if you have a day 5 embryo day of put back is day 5 - make sense??? Different clinics do things differently???? Can be very confusing!!! Take care, hope you're doing okay, the wait is not easy aye!

Thinking of you guys Moogle and Olijoy - the 30th is not that far away, but I bet it will seem like an eternity to you both!!! Make sure you have lots of exciting distractions to keep you busy

Been there done the insane thing olijoy, and I'm going to do it all again! You really must be either crazy or committed to the cause to do IVF  I totally understand the staring at a square box thing - yet the embryo's have a mind of their own so why do we put ourselves through all the stress?!*
It is certainly something that you will always remember regardless of outcome, and something that only those of us who go through it can actually understand.
Hang in there!

hi moogle, it's really hard i think i'm going crazy i'm just taking each day at a time but can't help to think about it all the time especially that you are wanting this for so long and to think you've done all you can but at this stage your just helpless and nothing can be done now except to wait. but your right it's not long now will have to survive.... Anyway how are you feeling? any signs for you? for me i haven't had any cramping or bleeding? except that i always have to go pee all the time does the progesterone pessaries makes you urinate all the time? and i have to wake up 4:30 am to eat coz i'm super hungry well probably its all on my mind he,he! keep in touch as we are both on the same journey hope it turns out well for us...

Hi Olijoy! No I don't think it's the pessaries that make you pee all the time! Lol about you having to eat in the middle of the night!! Are you going to do a pee test?? I have had really sore boobs (I assumed because of the pessaries) and have been feeling really bloated especially after eating and can't eat that much at once. I gave in this avo and went and got a pee test which came back as a BFP!!!!! I have had a biochemical pregnancy in the past that didn't come to anything so hoping it's the real thing! Good luck! All the best to us aye!!!
