ivf rollercoater

[rollercoaster2117]

Hi guys,

Ive started ivf. My first cycle was cancelled due to OHSS, had over 50 eggs per ovary, wasnt well!! crap time. Started my second cycle and currently at cd18, been on injections for 17 days (have to go slow because of my body is whacked up).
Over the ast two days i have been a mess, crying and just being miserable. I honestly thought i had ovulated as i hadn't been on orgaultran. I went in for a scan this morning and i still have little follies!!! i balled my eyes out when i saw them. I cant believe i have gone from complete misery to happiness, what a rollercoaster!!
I have another scan on thursday in the morning. Today i had 2 dominant follies in either ovary about 15mm in size, but heaps of others around 10mm. I just hope they grow!!!
Thanks guys for listening. My husband is away with work at the moment, and i have been stewing on this by myself. I'd prefer the people close to me dont know each step, they either dont understand or dont really care.
I have been reading the forums on this site for awhile and its helped me. I hope you dont mind if i join in, its good to read what other things you strong ladies are going through.
Thanks

Welcome Rollercoaster. Oh how I remember being emotional when doing my stim cycle, those hormones sure know how to mess with your mind.

I hope you get that BFP very soon.

Hi and welcome.
You certainly aren't the only one who preferred to keep your step by step journey quiet from those close to you. I think we all find the comments and questions too much to bear on top of the actual process itself. My DH was a shift worker too and i spent many hours alone with my PC and a very special group of TTCers who held my hand through all my ups and downs.

OHSS is awful, i hope this cycle turns out much better for you.

I've only just joined as well, and am finding it really helpful - total strangers, but there's a common ground to chat about things.


I have found it such an emotional journey, and my hubby goes away on saturday this week - I have my blood test next wednesday (16th) so I'll find out if it's a BFN or BFP without him!! so shattered! He'll be in Japan for training, and won't be back until 26th

10 days to wait for a cuddle....!!!

thank goodness I have a bunch of girlies on here to keep me company on the long nights

Good luck rollarcoaster2117

Hi Rollercoaster,

I too am only new :-0
How scary the OHSS must have been. I remember reading about that and was so worried.
I also remember seeing some dominant follicles with some smaller ones. Don't worry, they should all grow just fine. Mine were a little small but by egg collection they collected 6 eggs in total. Those smaller ones just needed a little more time.
I also have PCOS and insulin res. My weight isn't too bad, I always think that I could lose some though (Hehehe!).
I hope you find this forum useful, I certainly have. Its always comforting to know that there are other girls on here going through the exact same thing as you.
