Pls themolady. I have been trying to reach you via mail. Please can u reach me via this number? 08075989359

thermolady:
To God be ALL the glory, I got my BFP and a scan confirmed pregnancy at Olivebranch Lekki this week! This is coming after over 19 years of TTC that included several years of natural health therapies, countless IUI s, Clomid & TI cycles and 9 embryo transfers. This clinic has indeed become my last TTC ‘bus stop’ as I had prayed and hoped.

My sisters-in-waiting, it was God’s mercy at work. What I think also helped me was:

*RESEARCH, research & more research! Pls. don’t put yourself 100% in ANY doctor’s hands without researching your options & being able to request whatever will benefit you.
*Doing a vagisteam before starting meds. Combined dried herbs like basil, motherwort, rosemary & mugwort (obtained from Alade market Ikeja)
*Insisting on the cancellation of the penultimate scheduled embryo transfer when my lining refused to grow beyond 7mm (many other Drs.' would have railroaded and gone ahead anyway, just hoping to get 'lucky' as they sometimes do for even much thinner linings.) In this successful cycle my lining was 9.4mm before intro of progesterone & 11.1mm on day of Embryo Transfer.
*Doing needle acupuncture EVERYDAY in the 12 days before the embryo transfer (was able to fit in a session on the very morning as the transfer was done in the afternoon) using acu-points that aid blood flow to uterus.(located my Lagos acupuncture clinic thru online research)
*Using Viagra cream - not tablets, vaginally (sourced from a Canadian Dr. in Malaysia and Bricanyl tablets (from Alpha) for about 11 days - also to increase blood flow. ; in fact Dr. Emeka agreed to delay down regulation, giving me 2nd shot of Zoladex after expiration of 1st one, in order for me to receive the Viagra parcel (research also shows though more expensive, Zoladex gives higher success rates than daily Buserelin injections)
*Castor oil pack on tummy almost daily for about two weeks
*Daily sitz baths (alternating sitting in hot & cold water), sometimes twice daily, stopping 2 days before the transfer – also to increase blood flow.
*Sometimes soaking feet in hot water for 20 minutes, before bed (also to increase blood flow to uterus)
*Day 21 Endometrial Scratch (had also done one before at another clinic the previous year)
*Femoral massage: got hubby to press artery for me at least once daily & at the clinic just before the transfer
*Having intralipid drip at the clinic one week before the transfer - with the general absence of availability of immune tests in this country, it’s a good safeguard whether or not your body actually needs it.
*Daily eating 5 Brazil nuts (ASDA uk) before transfer & throughout 2 week wait. Was able to get pineapple only on 4th day after transfer so ate its core only on Days 4 & 5..
*Doing a deep tissue body massage 2 days before the transfer (got a bargain package – there are several, on dealdey site)
*Insisting on Day 5 transfer: after so many past failures and disappointments, I had made up my mind after research that even if all our embryos appeared to be struggling, no Day 2 or 3 transfer; if they all died before Day 5, so be it. Luckily we had 90% ICSI fertilisation and all made it to blast.
*After the transfer, taking DAILY injections (with Dr’s permission) of 100mg Gestone in addition to clinic’s 2x 400mg cyclogest; quite painful & bum already feels like a pin cushion but for me no sacrifice is too much. Clinics here do not do regular hormone checks for levels after the transfer so it makes me feel safer. I’m also prepared to endure the daily injections for as long as necessary!
*Just before the transfer, requested & got a picture of our embryos which I used as a point of contact in prayer.

What I’ve learnt (the hard way) on my long, long TTC journey:
No doctor, spouse, family or friend, can desire my success more than my own self: I am my own best advocate! My sisters, despite glowing recommendations of any fertility clinic/Dr, do your own research. Never be afraid to ask questions and always try to go with your gut feelings; run/’talk to your feet’ if you have integrity concerns about any of them; I have also learned that though often tedious and inconvenient, it pays to try to prepare as much as one humanly can (castor oil, massage, foot soak, etc), before the embryo transfer and above all, to always pray for God’s mercy & intervention.

OK. Just do more research on Nordica before you conclude. What of Kingswill hospital.

I am watching my diet and trying to take more protein and vegetables than carbohydrates. I am also taking Evergreen Formular for women supplement. It is for women looking to conceive.

Good Evening Mamas. How was your day.

I was at the hospital today with my husband to get his initial tests done cos he won't be around again until during egg retrieval. I was expecting that my own tests would be done towards the day I will start my period, which is 2 weeks away. They actually did my own tests and scans as well and the doctors discovered I have PCOS which no doctor has ever told me before. Well, cos of that I will be starting injections earlier than scheduled which is 7 days before my period.

Did anyone start treating PCOS earlier before starting IVF treatment

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

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

I can recommend DiFF hospital. I think a donor may be needed

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?

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?

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.

[aquote author=hope43 post=72747127

I was placed on dhea. Although they said its to help improve egg quality. Took it for 3 months.

[quote author=titas post=72912695][aquote author=hope43 post=72747127

I wanted to suggest Dhea as well as I was also diagnised with low amh at bridge. Though I didnt concieve through ivf eventually but I will say its treatable. I will suggest that you place yourself on dhea, cq10 and one fair haven drugs - ovaboost for 3 months before embacking on ivf treatment. Let your husband also take cq10 as well cos its good for sperm quality.
You can read up on story and pick from there. All the best.

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

hope43:

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.

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.

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.
