I'm so sorry to hear the OHSS kicked in. Seriously, I'll be chasing you more than BG if you don't take care of yourself! I've been there twice, and if it's bad, the hospital really is the best place. I was terrified of them wanting to drain the fluid off, but in the end, just being able to rest with IV fluids and pain relief saw me get better much faster than when I stayed at home... even though we got more eggs and had higher E2 levels this time. BG is a formidable lady to go up against on this one, and you'll have two people chasing you! Besides that, I'm told that OHSS can reduce egg quality, so that could be the reason that you had such poor fertilisation rates. Must be devestating to be hit on both counts. Thinking of you and sending more gentle hugs.
They want me to teach ****ing year 4 instead! I'm simply going to refuse. They can put up with me being underload and pay me to sit on my butt and do bugger all for all I care, but I am not teaching primary kids! The worst thing - the reason they gave me for the change - simply because I've been off work for the last month... doesn't matter that it's included a week in hospital and I've got a medical certificate (sometimes two!) to cover every single one of those days. They just can't take the risk of putting a sick person trying to get pregnant onto a senior class! I've been angry, furious, devestated, frustrated... and cried for about 5 hours straight. Even though me being removed from that class due to trying to get pregnant is downright illegal, I just don't think I've got the energy to fight it. Also doesn't help that four of my closest friends and colleagues are also leaving the school - losing so many people on top of all the other stuff just reduced me to nothing.
Hi Girls
Wow, so much happens when you don't get in for a few days!
Shannon - Hunny, I hope you're doing better, I got close to OHSS, but didn't quite get there... enough pain to know that I didn't want to, either!
Hoping that you get some lovely embies when they thaw after Christmas xxx
BG - I know we spoke the other night, but just wanting to make sure you're doing ok xxx
Not exactly sure about meds for building up your lining, but I know thats the main reason I started having acupuncture, because my first 2 cycles the lining was nowhere near thick enough.
It definately works, I am proof
Have done 2 cycles now with the acupuncture, and there is an incredible difference... The fact that you have a little over a month before you can do anything with the FET is prob a good thing with the acupuncture if you want to give it a go - I went twice weekly for the first two weeks, and then weekly after that as we only had approx 6 weeks from when I started to when I was due to do another cycle.
FS was sceptical until they did the scan right before EPU and then told me he had to eat his words!!
His jaw dropped on the floor when he saw my lining on the screen!
He also got the nurses to write down my therapists number so he could pass it on to other patients with the same problem.
Might be worth tryying whilst you're in limbo over the next few weeks... and can help you a little with relaxation at the same time xxx
Mel - Oh hun, I am so sorry to hear your news:hugs:
I wish you all the very best with the natural therapies - I'm a big believer, as I have both experienced and felt the difference after starting.
I was seeing Antonia for a while, but haven't been down in ages - Melbourne is a long way to travel, and she was in and out of the country... Not sure about the negative stuff you mentioned, but I thought she was great each time I saw her - and her clinic gives off a really positive feel.
I know her herbs made both DH and I feel fantastic - They're just a little pricey...
I will prob contact her again after Christmas, though - maybe you should let me know what you know in case I should see someone else??!!!
BW - Sweetie, hugs to you:hugs:
I just can't offer any advice, but I can say that you should read over the last part of your post as much as you need to - You really have put your students ahead of yourself all year - Its time to put BW and the next caterpillar to be first xxx
Hoping that you feel better soon xxx
To everyone else I've missed, a big hey!!!
I was supposed to have my appointment with Dr S yesterday, but had to postpone - I think I'm very guilty of trying to do too much at the moment, and I just can't fit it all in!!!
Between my last week of work for a month, Christmas, and my wedding in 3 weeks, fitting in an appointment with a new FS was probably a littlemuch to do, but hey!!!
I said I would call and re schedule soon - Have to be in Sydney next Thursday, so you never know!! He! He!
No, should prob wait until after the wedding when I'm on holidays anyway.. we'll see how patient I am, though!
Hope everyone is wonderful
xxx
