HI Guys, Hope you all had a great Easter.....I am sitting here laboriously printing off our thank you cards from the wedding......just a tad late!! The Boy has gone to bed....figures!!!
I am trying to do a mail merge with a digiscrapped photo on one side and a thank you note on the other...I am beginning to think it would have been quicker to do them one by one...now I can't go to bed till it has finished cos I have to flip them to print the other side...grrr.
On the baby front we are still not sure what we are going to do...we have racked our brains and short of selling the house we can't squeeze any money out of the stone especially since we are on one income. So I am going to make an appointment with the FS tomorrow and see what he can recommend re natural methods to improve our chances fo getting a succesful pregnancy naturally. Geoff even signed up for all the game shows this week hoping we might actually win some money!!
BW thats great that you got 4 snowbubs. I know how disappointed you feel losing the rest but really 4 is good. I have a friend who only got 2 and we went from 17 eggs 12 fertilized to 2 embies so to me 4 is a nice number...has good numerolgy and feng shui attached to it too!! I am also praying AF shows up soon for you so that the damned OHSS can bugger off for good and you can get on with getting preggas!!
BG try not to stress over not feeling anything..I think I only felt a bit twingy down there towards the last few days before pickup...before then I was sure it wasnt doing anything. I am sure the first scan will show a nice bunch of 12-14mm eggies waiting for you.
Welcome to madhouse Female1973. With reagrd to side effects I got none....well maybe a small headahce towrds the end of the synarel/lucrin but I stil think that was because my neck needed cracking not from the drugs. I tell you what though the oral medications they give you if you do an assisted thaw cycle are nasty...nausea central headachy moody b*&&h from hell I was and am just starting to clear them from my system now a week later. I have been bleeding ever since we stopped taking the meds when junior didnt thaw and I suppose it will continue until real AF shows up whenever that is...great..NOT!!
G and I are nnot coping too well at the moment...just sorta going through the motions and trying to process it all...we drowned our sorrows with easter eggs hot cross buns and cointreau jaffa white choc cheesecake (homemade of course with 5 shots of cointeau instead of 1!) over the weekend. I realised just before I had just eaten 120 carbohydrates of easter egg since tea time.....so gonna go straight to my hips!!
And that was after 3 slices of pizza for tea......hmmm...
bugger bugger pooh bum...gotta go just ran out of ink...arrrghhhhh!!!!
I feel like I've just had my first night of normal sleep since before the EPU! Lately, I've been waking up in pain, and completely unable to spend any more time laying down around 5 or 6 am... I still kept waking up (to use the bathroom - I think my body is ejecting some of that fluid at last!), but I also kept going back to sleep... My latest wake up was just before 9am, and I thought I'd best get up then, but I could happily have gone back to sleep, too.
Mel, I hope the FS has some ideas for you to go natural for a while. I was sitting here quite happily knowing that we had the money to jump in to another cycle this year if we needed to, but then we had to pay the hospital, fix DH's car... and it's just not there any more! Hopefully our little snowbubs are nice and sticky, so it's just not an issue, but it is a really sick feeling. I'm a little worried about the FET transfers to come, with my PCOS I just don't ovulate on my own so natural cycles are out. It's pretty much an unknown quantity for me... I'm sure we'll get in trouble for having our appointment so close to EPU (one piece of paper said 4 weeks afterwards, another 5, I asked the clinic and they put me in for an appointment 10 days later), but it will be good to know what is ahead, even though it will be a while before we get started.
BG, I hope your body is doing what it's supposed to be doing. Just remember, with IUI you only want a couple of follies so feeling a lot from your ovaries would be a sign that they are swinging to the other extreme... and I'm sure you don't want to go from one cycle cancelled due to no response to the next cycle cancelled because of an over response! (Although, it would be just the thing that would happen to me if we were trying it!). I can't believe your blood test is tomorrow! Time is flying way too fast at the moment... which then means my appointment is the day after that, and Summer's the day after that... it's coming through thick and fast at the moment!
Summer, I do hope all the test results aren't too overwhelming and that there'll be some good news generously sprinkled in with the rest. I'll be hitting up my FS for slow release metformin too - The wrath of metformin and sore, swollen ovaries does not mix well!
Carrie, any thoughts on how the TWW is going to pan out?
As eager as I am to have AF arrive so we can start on the next stage, I'm pretty excited to have got to a week after EPU and still not have AF. Last time I had a trigger shot, AF was here a week afterwards, so the fact that it's now been 10 days since my trigger is very encouraging. I guess it just goes to show that the thing on my ovary wasn't a follie, but was a cyst after all, and that perhaps my LP isn't as shocking as first thought. I've been looking at the FET protocols this morning - There's one that uses progynova and progesterone pessaries... seeings I still have crinone in my fridge I suspect that may be what they go with - how bad is progynova? There doesn't seem to be any list of side effects for it.
AF decided to turn up in the middle of the night Sunday night.. 4 whole days before my BT.
