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

Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
Ill be starting on the 19th April this is my second round first one failed in march
im scared for this one after taking meds i only had 2 follicles, then only one fertilized luckily it made it to transfer just didn't stick, my meds have been changed this tome and i am having an earlier scan i told everyone on my last one doing this one secret and hoping for the best 


Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
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!

Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
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.Natlovesnav wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 10:07 pm Ill be starting on the 19th April this is my second round first one failed in marchim scared for this one after taking meds i only had 2 follicles, then only one fertilized luckily it made it to transfer just didn't stick, my meds have been changed this tome and i am having an earlier scan i told everyone on my last one doing this one secret and hoping for the best

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?

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?Kay2024 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 3:12 pmHow excitingKellyg1213 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 1:38 pm I start Norethisterone Thursday with egg collection planned for 10th may.

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…
Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
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.

If all goes well 30 April was meant to for next week but have to wait and see. Is this a FET for yourself too?

Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
Did you have another scan today for your lining? How is it looking? I finished the nothisterone yesterday so just waiting for the withdrawal bleed now. I’m due to start injections Sunday
Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
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.

Re: April/ May 2024 cycle buddies
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

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
