April/ May 2024 cycle buddies

Hello
Is anyone else starting this month? I am currently taking Norethisterone and will hopefully have a FET early May.

Norethisterone is fine. It's when I start the oestrogen tablets, that I get side effects and start feeling crap, bloated and irritable. I am also on lubion injections rather than only pessaries, as my body doesn't absorb them that well.

how are you finding the whole process?

I start Norethisterone Thursday with egg collection planned for 10th may. First time very excited and just want it to start now.
I’ve been constantly checking if a may thread had been started, happy to have some ladies to go through this with. Good luck to all!

Natlovesnav did they say why you only had 2 follicles? May I ask what your AMH is please? I am trying to manage my expectations, my consultant thinks we should have a good chance but I guess im trying to understand if it could be possible that we have unexpected obstacles such as low number of eggs and to not get my hopes up too much if that makes sense.

Hia

So far it’s been ok, probably because I haven’t started taking any medication yet, not sure how I will feel with it once it stars. Trying to keep myself calm as I am a bit of a stress head. How long were you on norethisterone for? Have they set your egg collection date?

How exciting :) that’s great they have given you a date for egg collection aswell. I have been told I will start mine in the 14th for 9 days before going onto injections….i hope it goes well for you

Yes just a provisional date for egg collection.. I will have a scan 8th may to confirm if that will go ahead. I have 11 days of the tablets before injections, how many days injections do you have?

Not sure yet, from looking at protocol il have a scan around day 8 of injections n then it’s monitoring until eggs are ready I guess…

Hi all how are we doing? I have started taking my medication my 4th cycle. Had my scan for my stomach lining and it has not grown from Monday. Do not know why. Need to wait until Tuesday might have to cancel the cycle. It never gets any easier.

Its 6.7 but has the triple lining in there. Care are happy for me to do the transfer but i am not sure. As they say it should be over 7mm bit of dilemma at the moment. I wish it was the right size.

How exciting! I am keeping everything crossed for you!
The actual injecting was ok didn’t feel a thing which I was a bit worried about but I got a bit confused with the pre-filled pen, I had to get rid of the air bubbles and I wasted some of it so not sure if I am going to run out towards the end now? I’ll ask them on my scan next week! Hoping tonight’s will be smooth sailing lol

Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies

What time is your transfer tomorrow? Have you taken the day off work or are you planning on trying to continue as normal? My scan is 8th may, I’m hoping I might have enough I might try and calculate it soon actually just in case
