Trying for a Baby Part 9

Massive congrats Samtoby xx
Purcy interesting to see you also have a short lp, mine is 9/10 days max so not as short as yours but still a worry. I've started taking 50 of b6 each day how much do you take and do you take something else as well?
Also what kind of impact has it had eg earlier ovulation or just longer cycle?
Sorry for all the questions, I only started looking into this after my cp couple of months after my cp and do wonder if short lp caused cp.

I've got no experience of menopur as a stand-alone drug (only as part of IVF) so it could be they do things differently this way. Which kind of makes sense - in IVF you use menopur, and then the trigger shot, to get a LOT of eggs ready for collection. I guess if you're not collecting the eggs you want to avoid maturing a high number at once, so would probably need lower doses of menopur to start with. Much as you'd love a baby, I presume you don't fancy 8 or so at once!
Could also be that they're being cautious re. OHSS. Believe me, you don't want to mess with that.
When I've been on clomid and similar we've generally upped the dose as it's become clear what I respond to, rather than starting again. But (as I say often on here lol) I'm no medical expert. Has s/he explained their reasoning? I find it a lot easier to be patient with slow treatments if I really understand why we're doing things that way.
:rotfl: I don't really want 8 babies at once but one would be perfect.with the stand alone menopur I will do a trigger shot aswell.
I did ask about why we would have to start again at the starting dose and she said it was so we didn't get to many eggs, it does make sence but I know my ovaries never respond to low doses of anything.0 -
I had to read and run yesterday so I didnt get to say congrats to you samtoby. But congratulations! :j0

Congrats samtoby - that really is great news after such heartbreak. Here's to a happy and healthy 8 more months.
Congrats Picklekin too! Time for some good news.
CD2 for me. boo... I know it wasn't likely, but you still hope each month. Plus I have had a massive leak from the neighbours flat and am currently in a damp smelly flat. On a positive note the prescription painkillers the surgeon gave me to deal with excessive period pain are working a treat! My home may be damp, but I'm lightly floating above it in a opiate bubble.

Congrats Samtoby! :j
Welcome to all the newbies! :wave:
I'm going to be AWOL this month. Going on holiday tomorrow and I've decided to completely ignore my cycle this month, relax, bd for fun when we want to and just hope for the best. The stressing each month hasn't worked so I need to try the "just relax" method.
Sending you all lots of baby dust and positive BFP vibes! See you in a few weeks! X0 -
Have a fab holiday bex ! X make the most of it and I hope the relaxed approach works....0

Hugs pm hopefully they'll find the right dose for you soon x
Enjoy your holiday bex
Lollipop I take 1 of the h&b busy bee b complex tablets and 4 of their agnus castus tablets a day. My lp is still not great but it's an improvement on what it used to be. I also wonder about whether my lp is the cause of my 2 mc. I have it in my mind that if I can only sort out my lp I can have a successful pg and I find it so devastating that I can't get it to be any longer. I think I may try acupuncture anything has to be worth a try
When you update the lists would you kindly put me at cd1 tomorrow (I feel better calling it for tomorrow as today is so close to being over) thanks mrs t m
Hugs to all x0 -
