K1 - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you and hoping that you've set the trend for everyone in this thread to get the best possible results this round.
S'rose, thanks for your thoughts and congratulations on your egg pick up as well. Hope there are plenty of them fertilised so that you can have a few snowbubs as well (but we all know they won't be necesswary this round, right? )
Sorry no more personals atm as am still quite mentally dull from sedation, but we have FANTASTIC news. 19 eggs!!!!! OMG, I was so happy that I cried in the recovery room when my FS told me. Looks like the odds might be in our favour this time around. Last round we got 6, four mature, so even if a few of them aren't mature, we're still looking good. I've just rung my mum, dad and two of my siblings to tell them, I'm so excited! lol Don't know how many are mature, the scientist is going to ring me tomorrow with that and fertilisation rates. I knew I had a good feeling about this cycle for a reason Also, apart form straight after the procedure, NO cramping . . . this is also excellent, although I'm now off to take my hot water bottle to bed and sleep some more. Helps to process the sedation and because we were up at 5.45am to get to hospital at 7 for admission, but arrived at 6.30 due to no traffic! Still, worth it for the outcome!
Take care, ladies. I'm going away for the weekend too, so I'll check back on Monday after transfer and update again. Have an awesome weekend, I know I will
10 eggs went to the lab, 7 matured and were injected, 6 are still viable. I think its good when the lab man is sounding very positive about your results, so I take it this is all going really well so far.
12.45pm tomorrow I am going to be PUPO with a potentially nice strong embie.
Meo - Fantastic news hun, what a relief after all that waiting. Rest up, lots of fluids and by next week there will be a few in the tww.
Hi ladies,
Wow this thread is getting exciting lots of positive news around.
Srose and Meo congratulations on your egg pick up, what a fantastic result for you both, just a quick question for you Srose, why did you start the crinone before your transfer? I didn't start mine until the day of the transfer (but at night), was just wondering?
Possums, hope you are hanging in there and that things look up soon.
K1 hope all is going well for you and that you are enjoying the early stages of your pregnancy.
Esperan, I know what you mean it is so nice having people who understand and support you through this without judging! I hope you are doing well.
AFM, I am okay, feeling a little less sore today but very bloated tummy and still very tired, I am considering booking an appointment with one of the IVF counsellors for next wed which will be half way through my tww, I figure I might be going stir crazy by then, what do you girls think?
Take care everyone and keep the positive news coming!!
Sorry forget that I wanted some advice. I am currently using the crinone gel and was told by nurse to take it around the same time each night (I have been using it at 8:30) anyway tomorrow night I am going to a 21st and won't be home until late will it matter if I use the gel a few hours later than normal?
Thanks

Hi Cadence,
I don't have much experience after EPU... But I remember nurse asked me to start crinone 2 days before scheduled ET and also to use at night before bed. I just read in the leaflet that "if you forget a dose of Crinone, use it as soon as you remember, and then continue on the same schedule as before" so I don't think couple of hours would be a problem. Good luck! and good fun at the party!
Cadence, its just what I was instructed to do. It actually makes me feel more comfy this way though, knowing the environment is already being prepared for my embie, but I don't know what the reasoning for it is. I too was told to take it at night, and don't forget the side effects of crinone can include the fatigue etc. How are you finding the gel atm?
Esperan is right there too... my instruction leaflet said that from the pack, so like anything, its going to happen that you can't always take it at the same time. In fact, my nurses didn't say anything except at night, so no timing instructions for which I am grateful.
My tummy is feeling pretty good this arvo, head cold far worse. And given how much I am sneezing, I am pleased it no longer hurts I seem to have recovered pretty well so far.
Hi ladies,
Hope you are all well.
I am feeling very teary at the moment, Srose I have been okay with the gel, have noticed fatigue and frequent urination and of course teariness but don't know whether that is due to the crinone or not.
Anyway just a quick one today, am thinking of you all and hoping to hear more positive news soon, take care.
