Hi all,


Mylitta - I'd imagine EPU under light sedation would require local anaesthetic. Fancy them forgetting to tell you about the stitches. I really don't know what to say about that. I'm a nurse, and that is major. Major, major, major. I'm not quite sure what you mean about the last stitch hasn't dislodged yet. Do you mean disolved? Sorry, not up with all the gynae. Yes, and as for the needles, I watch patients give themselves insulin injections, and I find that most of them do it nice and slowely, so I did it that way and it was pretty OK.

Nicole - that sounds great that you didn't need anything. I wonder why they encouraged me to have a GA on my first cycle. It wasn't even really suggested that light sedation was an option. I will ask tomorrow about that option.

Dreaming - I'm in the same boat as you. The cycle in November only produced one embryo. So this time they will have me on Gonal-F 225 units injections instead of 150 units and hope for more follicles this time. Only had 5 last time.

Southaus74 - , I hope everything is working out right as you would be close to egg pick up now. Hope the trips into town aren't too much trouble, it would add extra cost as well.

Kitkat72 - as well. this is probably my 3rd or 4th post. The forums have been very informative. Could you tell me what low AMH is? I hope the cycle is turning out for you.

Babydownunder - I hope your first cycle goes well.

As for me - I've had one cycle in November and now on a second cycle, going for first scan tomorrow to check whether uterus lining is ready for Gonal F injections. On my first cycle my concern came 2 to 3 days after embryo transfer when I thought I had a UTI. I ended up going to the emergency department at 1am, just in case I needed antibiotics, after all that effort, I didn't want a failed transfer because of a UTI. It turns out that it was just my body still healing from EPU and the pain happened when I voided and the bladder deflated. It got me really worried. I realise they must do a bit of poking around to aspirate each follicle. Anyway, within a few days it wasn't an issue.
