Geez! We're a busy bunch next Monday and Tuesday. EPU's, BT's, FS Appts...hopefully by Wednesday there's good news being shared all round!!! (I also always say, even if it's not so great news...sharing it on this thread helps, b/c everyone can totally and really understand and empathise...hard to find that kind of understanding anywhere else so thanks for the updates!)
Sara69 - 10 follies! WTF! You have just raised my hope 10-fold!! I've got everything crossed for 10 good healthy eggs. That would certainly put a smile on my face...WOW, that's just ace...I'm so happy for you! Yay!
Dutchie80 - I hope Friday's FSH result is a good one for you! (Is it a Day 3 of AF test?). I will await to hear result and will have fingers and toes and anything else crossed for you!! Yeah, my symptoms are a particularly foggy head and restless (kind of achy) legs from knees down...of course there's no scientific evidence, but each time it's high - I've been really aware of these symptoms. I've got my BT on Tue, but I'm expecting FSH to be low-ish because FS has had me on the contraceptive pill now for 3 weeks in lead up to cycle - evidently this will lower my FSH. How good would it be if both of us could take this journey side by side. Fingers crossed we both get green-light xxx
BDT - Good luck with your scan. I too will be that this cycle is a goer for you!! It's about time you got a break!! You deserve it...we all do!
Just an update from me, this morning four follies 20-22mm, three at 14mm and a few around 10mm. FS gives the smaller ones another day to catch up, trigger tomorrow night, EPU on Tuesday - while I am still waiting for all this to fall in a heap at the moment it looks so much better than my last cycle, so would now advise everyone to ignore the FSH results, normally with my result of 15.7 I wouldn't have gone this cycle!
Dutchie: How did you go on Friday, thinkign of you.
Sara69 - YAY! Thanks for the update. What a fantastic follie count... for a good egg count too tomorrow!! Sending you loads of good luck wishes!!! You give us high-ish FSH'ers more hope!!
AFM, I stopped the pill on Friday and am still waiting for AF. I was to have CD3 Blood and Scan tomorrow - but no AF yet so need to call clinic in the morning.
Just a quick update from me. Woke this morning with AF. Had BT & Scan at clinic. FSH was 7.6 which I was quietly happy with (even though FN said being on the pill beforehand can keep it low). FS then did scan to see see if there were 'antral' follicles present. Left ovary had none and right ovary showed presence of 'some'. He said he used this (along with baselines) to gauge how I might respond - but he said it wasn't always definitive. (Personally, I think they always say that when it's a less than perfect result!)
So all baselines were 'ok' and tomorrow I start on 450 Gonal-F. On Easter Monday I go back for BT and scan to see where it's all at. Fingers crossed there's loads of follies
Tigga posted at the same time - that's a really great FSH result - keeping fingers crossed for this cycle - think even if the right ovary didn't yet show any follicles that doesn't mean that they couldn't come up once you start with the Gonal F
Sara69 - I'm really, really sorry to hear that there wasn't more eggs. Hopefully they fert though and with that there's still a chance. I'll have my fingers crossed for you xx.
Dutchie & BabyDreamtime - How are you going? I'm hoping no news is good news!
Just an update - I only had one fertilised but the amazing thing is, it now has progressed to become a young blastocyst and there is a chance that there will be a biopsy tomorrow - with the biopsy there is a 50% chance that it is not affected.
In any case while it was all very depressing at EPU I now don't consider this cycle a failure as it may give us another chance at having a healthy embie for transfer. So at this point I think it was worthwhile to do a cycle even if the FSH was 15.7.
BDT: keeping fingers crossed for you - you must have your BT soon - hope AF hasn't shown her ugly face.
Dutchie: How are you going?
Tigga: Keeping finger croseed for your BT and scan tomorrow.
