Hey Trish & Tussy, just wanted to say hi. I started my first cycle of Ivf just a few days before you. Except I am only on 100mg of the injections each day - they wanted to do mild stimulation but sounds like that's really mild compared to normal? I am unexplained, 34 years old, married 5 years and trying for the last 4 years without success - took 2 years to get through the system to this point where we're finally doing something at last!
I have a scan on Monday to see how I going. When do you both have egg collect. Hopefully will find out on Monday . I think my dose is high as my ob use gonal f and I only got one or two follicals each side with low dose
Had my scan on Monday, doc was very excited 10 follies so far need to do more injections egg pick up either frid or sat and transfer either the 7th or 8th. I need to call after 2 tomorrow to find out what option based on theatre availability. I am hoping for Friday so I have the weekend to recover too. Bit worried about the anesthetic as I dont go well with it. The gonal f injections will stop either on tue or wed depending what option they go with. Panicing about the real injections a bit have to
give ovidrel as trigger and pregnyl as support. My doc is going away so someone else is doing the procedure which is worrying me to.
Hi ladies
Trishy, 10 follies is great, were they an okay size ? Mine grew around 2mm each day, which is standard I believe. I went back for a second scan two days after my first scan and they'd grown that much. My doc is also away (what clinic are you with) but I am sure it's fine, even though the EPU is the 'major' part of the process, it is still a relatively simple procedure. It's good you should have the weekend to rest up as well. Also, don't worry about the other injections - I had orgalutran and the needle was a big thicker than the stimming drug (puregon, same as gonal f), but it's over quickly ! Are you self-injecting ?
Saraz, good luck for EPU tomorrow ? How did you find the trigger injection ? I am doing mine in approx 1 hour !
We are all very close together, Saraz EPU Wed, me Thurs and Trishy Friday -- group hug ladies !!!
I have 20 follies, scan on Monday showed one @ 17mm, another couple at 15mm and then a few lower and the rest pretty small. They're a bit concerned about OHSS so I have to drink heaps and just look out for symptoms, hoping trigger doesn't bring it on more, as DH is away interstate for work tonight and tomorrow.
Hi guys dont worry the trigger injection was totally fine! Just held it really steady, not that different to all the other ones just looked scarier. Since then I've definitely felt a bit tender, I can't get my jeans on and even stockings were too tight today! - guess those 20 follicles taking up a bit of room now.
On monday's scan a few were over 20mm and the others down to 11mm - I read somewhere it's better if they're all the same size so a bit worried bout that. My lining was 7mm only on monday which sounds a little thin not that I'd know ?
I can't believe i am going in in the morning I just read a few horror stories about opu (that'll teach me to hang around on the internet!) but also found a few more tips such as keep your abdomen warm, keep eating 65g of protein per day, don't use any perfumed shampoo etc. This is all new to me!
Poor DH is a little worried about giving his sample - wants me to come & help, but at my clinic he does his bit after opu so I will be pretty groggy I guess!
