    Bec, i am sorry sorry for your recent news, I dont know what to say. I guess they have let you out of hospital now, but you will still need to rest and recover.

    Can i ask what dose of stims they are putting you on? colleting so many is not working for you (or anyone really as there are many risks) have you had a follow up with your FS to discuss your concerns?

    Thinking of you tonight, i know that doesnt help heal, but please take it easy.

    Loula - I was on 225iu gonal-f and was using orgalutran to prevent ovulation. My body responds very differently each time, last time i had severe ohss with 20 eggs, this time no ohss with 33 eggs but bad pain in diaphram from the egg collection. my ovaries were huge - three times normal size, and the clinic are confused about how i respond to treatment. I think we are done. I really believe so, we dont have any cash/credit left, and i couldnt handle another disappointment like this.

    Am out of hospital and back to work, i have exhausted all my sick leave so have to be here.

    My depression has come back with a vengeance and Im not feeling well, so I am trying my best to just keep going with everything. I cant think about IVF or babies or anything right now, it hurts too much.

    Have an appt with embryologist and specialist for three weeks to find out what happened. Until then, who knows...

    oh bec i am so so sorry, it must be so hard to be back at work aswell, it sounds like you still need sometime at home to deal with what happend with your cycle. its so devastating to put so much into a cycle and to go all the way to EPU and to have nothing to show for it, life is so unfair sometimes

    is there anyone you could talk to about things? does your clinic offer a councilor (sp?) maybe sitting down and talking to someone might help? if it feels like your depression has come back it might be a good idea to talk and you know that you are more then welcome to come on here and talk to us girls. if talking doesnt help with your depression then maybe going to see your GP , he might be able to offer you some anti-depresents (sp?). you have been through so much in the last few weeks and it sounds like its all starting to catch up with you, i wish i was there right now to give you a big hug and a shoulder to cry on, if you need anything feel free to PM me at anytime

    please take care and i am always here to talk xxx

    Bec, offering you a big hug and I am sorry you had to undergo so much pain and suffering for no outcome. I hope you can get some answers and find a way forward soon. But until then be gentle with yourself. It is ok to grieve, you have experienced loss, loss that we in here understand and recognise. I wish I had some other words to offer you

    Hugs to all of you, especially those doing it tough ATM

    Bec again so sorry. x I hope being back at work is right for you. I have returned this week and although many thoughts are going through my mind and that i really dont want to be dealing with this there, i really have to be, i cant afford more time off and for why, so i can be at home letting this run through my mind over and over again? Take the time that you need. Does your work know about treatment you are going through? its one of thoese things some people discuss and others do not, i always have, but totally understand why others may not.

    Julie i hope you are starting to feel a little brighter?

    sorry for all the negativity lately but i cant get my head out of this dark cloud

    Well i got some more results back here from some more swabs and urine test and i dont knwo if it os because of the prednisolone but they are not good. I have alwyas tested neg for these things and why not now??? it is the only connection i can make. Still waiting to try to get a D&C and pains are now starting to kick in, spotting on and off but nothing consistent. at least i can see a light with regards to finally getting these results, funny how i have been telling FS of my symptoms for years and only now someone has said, hang on lets see if this....... and thank goodness thay have. i guess the only thing is i may never be cured.

    I dont know if this is the answer for us to get to the end, but i am taking it as a start, if anything it is reconfirming that i believe in myself and i know myself better than anyone, still frustrating that it has taken 7 years to get to this point and feel very let down that it was not discivered before and brushed off.

    Bec - lots more for you & hoping that appointment with the embryologist is here before you know it - a few answers may help as little to clear your head xxx

    Lou - Hun, I know we spoke last night & I know how low you are feeling right now
    Get a hold of that biologist today & hassle that FS clinic until you get what you need xxx
    I know its hard to think you may never be cured... but she did the test for this one suspecting the infection & she was right... she found it so I'm sure she will do whats needed to fix it
    Even if you ask to speak to her in regards to the antibiotics - and then question about the D&C from there xxxx
    Let me know how you get on lovely xxx

    Julie - thinking of you & hoping things are clearing a little for you xxx

    As for me - I'm ready to go again, got a lovely email from my FS last night, so will be picking up my meds on Monday
    AF is due Sunday or Tuesday, depending on if this turns out to be a 26 or a 28 day cycle - so I'll be starting puregon either Monday night or Wednesday night.
    Really need to get over & update in my journal

    Lots of thoughts & hugs for everyone in here at the moment... we all seem to be struggling & needing some encouragement on some level... we all need one of these
