    Thanks Smithy. I appreciate everyone crossing fingers for me

    Saph hang in there, im sure those follies will grow nice and strong. As for the bruises, i only get little ones from time to time but never had big ones so cant help. Let us know what the nurses tell you. Hope they clear up soon so you dont have too much trouble injecting.

    Baby Dreamtime Ill jump on tonight and let you know about my previous cycles after i check my TTC diary at home as i have the worst memory EVER! DH always picks on me about my memory. As for this cycle its been as follows:
    Wed 15th Apr - AF
    Thurs 16th Apr - BT
    Sat 18th Apr - Start Puregon 125 (This already was a change from previous as i would usually start FSH straight away)
    Wed 22nd Apr - BT
    Thurs 23rd Apr - Start Orgalutran with daily FSH
    Fri 24th Apr - BT & U/S
    Sat 25th Apr - Up the puregon to 175
    Mon 27th Apr - BT & U/S

    Wouldloveabubba hope all is going well

    Went into clinic today for another BT and U/S and found that my follies have grown nicely since Friday. They are between 11-15mm. Back on Wednesday for another BT and U/S and the nurse said hopefully if all looks good on Wednesday i should be in for pick up on Friday. I really hope she is right, I would LOVE to have pick up on Friday!

    Saph i didnt see your last post. Shame they couldnt give you an answer regarding the bruising, now you will have bruises on your legs too! Wont that be a great look. I hope that the higher dose does the trick for you. I too have lost about 6kgs and am pretty sure i am taking the highest dose i have ever taken so not sure about the weight affecting the dose amount?!

    Great News Paula, keep those follies growing so you have some nice strong and healthy eggies in them

    To everyone else times can be so tough going through IVF but I promise that it does work and as hard as it may seem you are all a day closer to your forever baby

    Baby Dreamtime i checked my diary for you and on the first IVF cycle i did, i was on 100iu but only produced 3 eggs. On my second cycle i start at 175iu and was dropped down to 150iu and produced 12 mature eggs and i didnt make a note of the third attempts dose. At the moment, it looks like i have lots of follies again so as far as i am concerned, it looks like it isnt making a difference whether it is an antagonist cycle or down reg, i seem to be responding similarly.

    Had a bit of a freak out this morning. I had a physio appointment so i had to take my meds with me and inject in the car after my appointment. I injected the Puregon, fine, injected the Orgalutran and then all of a sudden my belly went all itchy and red. I ran the alcohol swab all over and left. As i was driving i looked down to see if the redness had gone and then noticed that my belly (about 5 cms all the way around where i injected) was all puffy and bumpy, like when you get a mosquito bite and it goes white and puffy. I was so worried i was having an allergic reaction or something and that something would happen to me as i was driving! I rang the nurse and she said that she wasnt too concerned but to just keep an eye on it and try not to irritate it any further. She said its pretty normal to get a bit of a reaction from time to time. Scary!
