Hi all.

I thought I would do a day by day update of my first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> cycle. If you are not sure about anything, please ask. I know that everybody's cycle is different but hopefully this will give you some idea what to expect and what is involved.

An overview of my ttc journey before taking this step.

April 2015 - Decided we wanted to start ttc so made docs appt to have implanon removed. Doc said need to do blood test to check antibodies as may need a vaccination update first.

May 2015 - Blood test showed I needed a booster for MMR (measles, mumps & rubella). Had booster and had to wait 6 weeks for it to clear my system before doc would remove implanon.

June 2015 - implanon removed.

July 2015 - normal cycle started and officially started trying.

September 2015 - had pain from ovarian cyst (have history of 10cm cysts) ultrasound only showed small cyst so just monitored and blood test to see if ovulating ok. All normal

January 2016 - HSG test. Large ovarian cyst had stretched out left tube in 2012 so wanted to make sure tube was ok & also do a flush out. HSG came back normal so tube had fixed itself - yay!

February 2016 - hubbys semen analysis. All normal.

April 2016 - Doc gave referral to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> clinic.

May 2016 - Had appt at <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> clinic with nurses. Did more blood tests and semen analysis. All normal. Made appt to see <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> doc in July.

July 2016 - Had <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> doc appt. Reviewed our history and said we'd be good candidates. Went over schedule and we decided September cycle would suit best as i could take holidays from work. Was advised to call a few days before AF shows up in September.

The first post is CD26-pre <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> cycle. This was the day I called the clinic to say that AF was due in a few days.

You will need to sort the comments by time and start from the bottom.

I'll keep you posted the whole way.
