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!
Sara I am totally paranoid thanks to surfing the web all night too. Worried about OHSS like you wouldn't believe. The internet is fab but sometimes too much information.
You're right, trigger was fine, I was quite nervous though. Your follie size sounds great, my lining was a little under 7mm, so sounds like you're on track. I definitely feel really full but not uncomfortable, still aonther 36 hours to EPU though.
My DH is the same, but the clinics all have 'help' for the boys
My OPU is either Fri or Sat will find out this afternoon.
Dont know sizes he didnt tell me, but because I used Gonal F before with my ob I could see that some where really good sizes and some small ones. Hopefully they have grown with the extra few doses of GF.
He also didnt tell me about the lining other than saying nice and thin.
Goodluck ladies thinking of you both, its pretty cool how we are all close together.
Dr Google is so bad.
I didnt know that about the protien or shampoo etc thanks for tip.
Do you go to alternative med as well. I see an naturopath and also have acupunture
