Kat's IVF Journey: October 2012
http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 October 2012. I Want Off This Rollercoaster! To say this cycle was a disaster is an understatement. It has been the worst both physically and emotionally. It was all going well. I was finding the injections a breeze. My emotions were in hand. After all, I was an old hand. The nurses were great. My blood pressure and heart rate continued to drop, even lying down. I got a shot of ephedrine to improve this. I also had some anti-vomiting drugs. After another few hours, I was allowe...I was pretty ...

Kat's IVF Journey: Jabba Dabba Doo. A Cycle Update...
http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012/10/jabba-dabba-doo-cycle-update.html
Monday, 8 October 2012. Jabba Dabba Doo. A Cycle Update. Last Friday, after almost 2 weeks of sniffing, I had my down regulation scan to check all was 'quiet' before I started stims. I had stopped the BCP 6 days prior. All was fine. My ovaries were sleeping with no dominant follicles and my lining was thin so I got a green light to start stims! So for the time being, I will keep jabbing and sniffing and cross all crossables that my follicles are growing and I am getting some good quality eggs.

http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012/03/fork-in-road.html
Wednesday, 7 March 2012. Fork in the Road. To finalise this cycle we attended our WTF appointment yesterday. It was a rough day for me. Possibly the roughest since the BFN. We went to see the travel agent and paid for our flights to the US for our 3 week vacation to New York and Las Vegas. Exciting stuff, right? I got home and burst into tears. This reinforced the BFN for me. Stupid, I know. If I were pregnant, we wouldn't be going on this holiday. Anyway, the plan is to go on our vacation and decide wha...

Kat's IVF Journey: November 2012
http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 November 2012. Ask me one minute and I will answer yes. Ask me a minute later and I may so no. It is all so fresh. I know it will get easier. I know it will take time. I just want me to be me again and my husband to be happy. We have gone through a few stages of grief. 1 Shock and Denial. 2 Pain and Guilt. I think I am still at this stage. I just wish I could skip the next couple of steps. 3 Anger and Bargaining. I wish we could just head straight onto the next stage. 5 The Upward Turn.

Kat's IVF Journey: November 2011
http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2011. And so it begins. I rang the clinic yesterday to report Day 1 of my cycle because they said I may start my birth control pills this month. When they said that I would start on Thursday I nearly fell off the chair! I also saw the PGD nurse this morning to explain my cycle plan. It is different to the normal antagonist cycle I usually do. It is a down regulation cycle. I take the BCP from Thursday continually until the nurses tell me to stop. They will ring us the next day for an...

http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-dos-and-donts-part-3.html
Wednesday, 26 September 2012. The Dos and Don'ts Part 3. I blogged last cycle about the Dos and Don'ts Part 1. While doing an IVF cycle. I have picked up a few tips along the way from other IVFers. I have never had any success with IVF but some of these girls have so I have taken some of their advice. Since my last cycle, I have been given a few more tips. Thanks so much to @ivfdivas. For emailing me their IVF Diet. Things you should DO:. Drink lots of water. 2L a day is ideal. Drink 1L of milk a day.

Kat's IVF Journey: January 2012
http://katsivfjourney.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 25 January 2012. One Step At a Time. I have always made the mistake in my life of thinking ahead. At school and university, I was always thinking what if I fail this exam I haven't even sat. When I did my dive certificate, the first day I went home and read ahead to what we would be expected to do on the last day and starting freaking out. My IVFs have always been the same. Just praying for that elusive BFP. I have changed my mindset for this cycle. I am taking one step at a time. I really hop...
