Hi All
Have just arrived home from my ultrasound test - first one for my first IVF/ICSI. The woman's prodding and moving that wand around like no one's business and inside my head I'm thinking its taking some time. She's still searching and said something that I mistook for 'five'. Actually I have no idea what she said apart from she could see nor find any follicles.

What? I ask again, she repeats what she said. From that moment on I just deflated and thought why me, why all those cramp like pains, what is that all about? No follicles - NONE??

Blood test was s***, student nurse tried too many times to jab me. Lots of platitudes from the senior nurse. By now I'm not really listening - just trying to focus on what questions to ask but just couldn't think of any. Those nurses sure shoo you out quick. Not one asked me if I was okay.

I'm home now, seething with rage at my body, eating a great big chocolate cake and drinking tea. I don't actually feel like doing any more today. I know I'm in a funk but hell, to find out I have no follicles whatsoever is pretty soul destroying.

I'm unsure how all the ladies do this but tonight is going to be Jab 9. I have to still take the synarel, jab and go for a blood test on Monday. I've enough Puregon until Monday night. Nurse recommended no further ultrasounds for now. I'll get a phone call later to tell me what my bloods are like.

So dear BellyBelly ladies can you advise what questions/demands I should be asking of my FS/Nurse and what stats should I be asking about my blood test?

Are there any other ladies over 45 going through this?

Thanks everyone for letting me vent. Just going to finish of that chocolate cake now!
