[quote author=Loisemm post=73447700]Oh alright then @ebonynelly. I was considering them too because of the good reviews I heard. Thanks and Sorry about your bum.

Thanks Lois.
It's well. The pain has lessened though.

Loisemm:
Fertility blessings, ebonynelly . Pls what do you know about Kingswill Hospital, Lagos. I just saw you recommended them to a Lagos mama.
Cc: other mamas who may know something

I read some good reviews about them dats why I mentioned it. I didn't use them personally.

Hello Ladies. Hope we are all doing well.

Well, today I had my last scan before trigger today.

My doctor is pleased with how I am responding.
So, I will trigger tomorrow evening for collection on Monday.

They said they will tell me number of follicles later but from the screen I was able to count up to 12. I guess it could be more.
Praying that they are of good quality.

I will trigger with HCG. Please is it taken on the stomach or buttocks.
My buttocks is finished ooo.

Mummy3plets:
Had my egg collection on Monday. 5 eggs retrieved, n 3 were of good quality n just d 3 were treated. Got a call from them on Tuesday that d 3 fertilised, so hopefully they survive till today for biopsy, n will be frozen after day 5. I need another cycle to get more embryos, coz d docs advised against analyzing genotype of just3 embryos, coz of d cost involved. Wish u d best in ur cycle. L

Hi dear. How are you doing?
How did you feel after EC and days after?

Good that 3 are of good quality. Praying that they all make it to day 5.

Yes, your doctor's advice is good, since the cost is the same for any number of embryos.

Have you decided on when to do another stimulation?

Thanks for your good wishes.

[quote author=titas post=73386657][/quote]

Glad that there is no much side effects.

Good that your scan went well.

I guess the follicles will be measured on my next scan since it is going to be my last scan before trigger which is tomorrow.

When is your next scan?

titas:


Wow so fast!! How many days have you stimulated for? Today is my day 6 and going for a scan.
All the best dear.

Yes o. Nearing the end.
I am on day 8 of stimms. I will stim for 10days, so I have 2 days left which is on Friday.
I also had my day 6 scan on Monday.

We are very close, just 2 days apart.

Wishing you the best in your scan today.
Keep us posted.

How are you feeling generally with regards to side effects of stimulation?

I have been having sore breast since yesterday and watery/sticky discharge since 2 days ago and tiredness.
Also, lower abdominal ache.

Mummy3plets:
Nausea, bloated stomach, weakness.. But got better from d 3rd day.

Hi dear.
Long time.
How is it going?
Sending positive vibes your way.

Loisemm:

Wish you a strong bfp!

A resounding AMEN! to this prayer.
Thanks.

wonyi:


Also nuts like walnut,cashew, almond and Brazil

Don't stress yourself.just be calm. Remember to talk walk for proper blood circulation

OK thanks dear.

Well, the scan was very brief.

The doctor didn't bother counting, but from the look of things, she was satisfied with what she saw. She said I should continue with same dosage.
My next and final scan before trigger is on Friday.

Can't believe I am almost done.

wonyi:


Eat enough protein(egg, beans, Moin Moin, Yoghurt, chicken) pray and be positive. Speak positive words to yourself.

Thanks a lot for your response dear.
Yes, I am loading on proteins.
I believe that God will come through for me.

Good days Mamas. Hope we are all doing well.

Well, today is my day 6 of stimming but before taking the injections I will have my first scan to see how I am responding.

I really pray I am responding as expected as I don't really have much of side effects even though I know that everyone is different.

Put me in your prayers..

Mummy3plets:
Nausea, bloated stomach, weakness.. But got better from d 3rd day.

OK.
How is it going dear? How was your last scan?
Hope there was improvement generally in regard to your follicles?

When is your egg collection?

Sending positive vibes your way.

Mummy3plets:
U are lucky with the no side effects. I got mine from d 1st day of stimm, then worse on 2nd n 3rd day, but much better now.

Oh, sorry about the side effects. What side effects did u have?
Of course I don't feel exactly like my usual self but nothing too serious. Is it because I down regulated before stimms? It is the Coq10 that gives me upset stomach for a while after taking it.

All the best in scan today.

Hi Mamas.

Today is day 2 of stims. Today's injection was less painful than that of yesterday. I guess the injection pain partly depends on who is giving the injection. A different nurse from yesterday gave me today's injection.

Not much of any symptoms so far. Thank God.

Mummy3plets:
Tomorrow.
We have actually paid for d screening, but paying another 1m + for another cycle is beyond us. We have done our best to avoid having SS, but it seems our best just isn't enough.

Oh... It shouldn't be up to the amount you paid earlier, cos it is only stimulation and collection you will do the second time around to get more eggs to add to this one and then continue with the initial screening and transfer you have paid for.
OR did the doctor say you have to pay same amount?
Let us know the outcome of the scan tomorrow.
All the best.

Mummy3plets:
I got additional one. The doc is suggesting I do a 2nd round of stimulation to get more eggs coz the cost of screening 30 embroyos is same as 1 embryo. I cannot afford can afford that option, so might just screen whatever we have, or risk having SS and transfer without d screening. Will decide by tomorrow. My egg retrieval is still in 4days time, so much can still happen before then.

Good that one popped up.

Still believing that more will pop up within the next 4 days which is an ample time.

Oh dear, I understand not being able to afford a repeat stimulation to get more eggs. Times are really hard. But if you are at a risk of getting SS, you would really need to screen the embryos before transfer to avoid it. And you would stand a better chance with more eggs.
Just think about it carefully.

Praying for a better result in your next scan. When is your next scan?

Good Evening Mamas.

Well, I started stims today being day 3 of my cycle (after scan confirming there is no cyst) with Menogon and buserelin (which I have been taking for down regulation for the past 9 days).
This menogon is quite painful o. The injection spot is still paining me even after hours and after hot water massage. I feel it only when I touch it. Pls any tips on how to manage this pain cos this is just the first shot o.
God help us.
Scan scheduled for Monday, 26th. Grow follicles grow!!!

Pls does anyone know about Vitamin D being good for implantation?

Mummy3plets:
Thank you. This is my 1st cycle. Yes, just the two injections. How many were u given? N what are their names? Am on d short protocol.

I was given two injections as well.
Buserelin(0.5ml) and Menogon (300iu).
Scan in the next 5 days, 26th.
Am on a slightly long protocol. I started down regulation with buserelin 9 days ago and started stims today being day 3 of my cycle, apparently I am continuing with it till further notice.
How did your scan go?

Rbae:
Good evening mama's. My friends embryo was transferred into her womb yesterday (dunno d term to use, the fertilized egg and sperm was injected into her to form a baby). This is her first IVF attempt and she is positive all will go well by Gods grace. Pls, what are the things she must do to make d implantation process a stress free and successful one. Thanks.

Just like the previous reply, progesterone is what is needed mostly at this point. Fruits, vegetables. I read that vitamin D is very good for implantation.
Other things; pineapple core from now till 3-4 days, keeping warm and less stress but not strictly bed rest.

Mummy3plets:
Good day. I started my stimulation on Wednesday (short protocol). I was told yesterday that only 5 follicles measured between 12 n 14mm (4days of Gonal F 300iu n 5th day of buserelin 0.5mg) d Gonal F was increased to 375. Going for d 8th day scan tomorrow, so hoping n praying I respond better. We are doing PGD screening for genotype, so we need as much embryos as we can get. Pls anyone share their 5th day scan result/experience?

I don't have 5th day scan report yet, I will be starting stims today. Have you stimmed before? How did you respond previously?
Well, from my research, I have come to realise that some people are slow responders. What that means is that the person will just have to stim for longer period, that's all. U will stim till u get to the point they want. While for some people, they respond better towards the end of the stimulation. You have nothing to worry about. With the increment in dosage and the ample time left ur follicles will definitely grow bigger and catch up.
All the best on your tomorrow scan.
Are u on only Gonal F and Buserelin?

kcj6789:

Yes, CoQ10 is a supplement that can be taken without a prescription. One thing to note is that a form that is water and fat-soluble absorbs better.

OK. Thanks for your response dear. Yes I heard about the fat and water soluble. How does one even know which one is fat and water soluble? Will it be written on the body of the container? Or is it the one written soft gels?

Joana40:

I used Joje Abebe. He is good even though I had bfn. We were 4 ladies that had our embryo transfer 2 weeks ago. I was the only negative. The other 3 are positive.

OK. Thanks for your response dear.
What is their protocol like?

rabluk:


DIFF hospital in abuja. Baby dust to u

OK. Thanks. Was it your first cycle?

rabluk:
Buserelin is not to manage pcos but to downregulate your hormones. Ie to shut themdown sort of so that the injections n drugs will now control them as the ivf process requires. I'm done with my cycle n gt a positive.

Tnx for your reply. I know that now as they told me at the clinic yesterday when I started the injection.
Which clinic did u cycle with.

Hello Mamas, please can one take Coq10 without prescription seeing that it is a supplement.
I just want to help myself by taking it so as to increase my chances of success.

hope43:
it seems our drs dont know how to treat low amh,i contacted grabbo but sadly they just use one protocol for all patients

Hi. I realised that low ovarian reserve is basically lack of quality egg. There are supplements you can take to improve your egg quality. Other Mamas have mentioned them. U can start usuming them.

titas:
]Hi ebonynelly. Buserelin isn't for treating pcos. Like sis said there is really no cure for pcos. The buserelin you are starting is for down-regulation. To allow them control your cycle. I started mine today. Pls ensure you ask questions at Grabbo. I cycled with them once and it wasn't a good experience. All the best dear.

Hi. Thanks for your response. Yes, I have realised that it is for down-regulation as I also started taking it yesterday and was told same.
Don't worry, I will ask questions. Tnx.

Guess we are cycle buddies. Let's keep each other updated. How did u feel with the injection? Well, the pin is very tiny and so didn't feel the pain but the spot scratched me for about 1 hour, I also felt generally uncomfortable and dehydrated but nothing serious at all.

Which clinic are you cycling with?

Praying that our procedures turn out successful. Amen

rabluk:


Do you mean buserelin injections from day 21? It's not 4 treating pcos. In fact there's no complete cure for pcos but management of its symptoms.
I just carried on with normal treatment for ivf.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply dear.
Yes, day 21 but I don't know the name of the injection yet. I will start taking it tomorrow. Is the buserelin injection for the management of pcos?
Are you still undergoing the ivf treatment? What injections are you taking for the IVF treatment?

hope43:
it seems our drs dont know how to treat low amh,i contacted grabbo but sadly they just use one protocol for all patients

Oh really? Were they the ones that told u dey use one protocol? If that is the case, why don't u use donor egg? Or have u checked out other clinics?

hope43:
Hello sisters pls is there anyone diagonised with a low ovarian reserve,can we talk pls,any recommendation with a DOR specialised in abuja .am lost pls help a sister tnx

What did your doctor suggest? Can't he take care of it? Did he give you any recommendations? Which hospital are you using?
