Hey Lulu,
Don't get down about egg pick up being delayed - they delayed mine too. When i went for my final u/s they said only 3 good follies and the other 10or so were not big enough - so my doc decided to wait another day another 2 injections and whamo got 5 eggies - which they were very impressed with being 42 and all. So just go with the flow they are the experts. Mind you i had a huge meltdown on the u/s day and could not even go to work i cryed soooo much - thought i had failed etc etc - all part of IVF rollacoaster i guess - anyway spoke to you in the other thread and nice to see you over there -
Wednesday will be a breeze and you will get some good eggies i just know it.
Hi Gargy, good luck with the donor - it is sounding great so far.
Hi Lulu, good luck with your current cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well and that you wont need to use all of the 25 preg tests because there will be a wonderful BFP smiling up at you way before then!
Hi Lissie, the embies sound fantastic - well done. I'm definitely hoping for some BFP announcements in the next few weeks!
As for me, not much to report. Work is really getting me down. I know I should make the decision to walk out the door - for my health and sanity - but it just isn't that easy, especially because I am on my own. Thanks for letting me know about your situation Lissie. I guess that is one of the hurdles - starting a new job and knowing what I should or shouldn't say about my fertility journey. I'd prefer to be honest so that if I got pregnant it wouldn't be a surprise but I do wonder how many employers would be as understanding as the one you found. Sigh...
Anyway, because of my neck/shoulder injury, my Dr has me on half days (just for 2 weeks at the moment) so that is making the place a little bit more bearable - JUST! Can you believe that we have a lovely lady here who's Mum has terminal cancer and they are not being supportive of her AT ALL. It's sad really, because it could be a great place to work.
As for all things IVF, I'm still wanting to lose a few more kilos before I go back and see the Specialist. The only problem with that is with working stressing me out so much, trying to eat well and exercise regularly is proving rather difficult! Oh well, I will see how things go. Even if I haven't lost the weight I want by the end of Aug I think I will have a chat with the Specialist anyway.
Take care everyone and thanks so much for the support,
Marg
