Sorry infinity I think we posted at the same time. Sorry your not feeling very positive. Me neither to be honest, Im just so stressed about the cost of all this.
But hang in there and Im sure we will get there soon. Thniking of you x
Infinity: yep I must be a little immature too cause I thought it was hilarious.
Mahli: with ya there, I too walk the fine line between normal & OHSS and was given a lower dose of puregon to start with. I have to have another BT Sun to make sure my follies don't OS. Love the name by the way, Mahli is one of our favourite girl's names.
sandygirl: don't fret, just having your encouragement is great and one day you'll be the experienced one giving advice to the newbies.
B2B: I'm not sure exactly, I think they said to us maybe 6 rounds or something, but the counsellor told us to expect about 18mths to 2 years, that's what I've been telling people anyway in the hope they would quit with the "are you pregnant yet" questions for a while (althought THAT hasn't worked at all!) Good luck joining the IVF train and hope you hit it first shot!
To everyone else and lots of and !
AFM had 1st scan & BT this morning. Approx 13 good of the bigger follies, and about 24 little ones. The big ones are good but are only 11-13mm and they want to build thenm to about 17mm so we have been told EPU will be Tues or Wed, and I have to have another scan/BT on Sun
Have been so very emotional, which for me is not usual and is rather freaking out DH. I started crying last night and he couldn't handle it and went to bed, which I'm not too happy about - I really need him right now. I pretty much haven't stopped since, I cried all over the poor nurse in the clinic this morning and I even cried at the supermarket a little while ago when I couldn't find the frozen peas in their normal section! I hate feeling like this, would much rather be ripping people's heads off than bawling all the time. It's hard because noone else around me seems to get it, and the few people we know that do understand are so wrapped up in their own problems that they don't really care. Does anyone else feel this alone?
Anyway better get off here, my parents will be arriving any moment. Off to Thai for dinner tonight, yum yum, haven't had it in ages but not really sure I should be inflicting myself on the general public in my current state...
Hope you all have a great weekend and wherever you may be in your cycle!

"Sorry for the delay, i am running the farm atm and had to get back out there to babysit the M.G Dude fixing the feed system, Geez, i mean come on! Anyway..."
Cheers Lou.
We will be here with you bothe 100% whenever you's need us! When you guys finaly decide to take the trek. that is.
Have fun moving in! Kaz and i will probably be moving in a couple of months aswell, Mid June i think.
So our address will change but i will PM you on FB with our current one just incase you wanted to come over and bug kaz while she's on meds LOL, its funny, i do it all the time
Hope everyone's doing well with their April cycling!
Ella : You can take a couple of pain relief tablets before you go. I found it uncomfortable, I don't have a very high pain threshold going on here, though. Just a little hint, that I didnt realise before. GL shopping around.
Well one more change - now FS has said 3W estrogen, 1W progesterone, then apparently I'll get AF (not sure if this happens while I'm on the prog or after it?). Then it's jabbing time! yay! So hopefully I'll be jabbing by mid-May. So far I think I may have had a couple of hot flushes but also could have been the wine I was drinking
Loops - GL with your next FS appt. I know at our clinic ICSI adds about $1K to the bill but out of pocket is maybe only a few hundred.
BOC - hope you're doing ok with the emotions! That is what I am a bit scared of myself, I guess I'll find out in a few weeks if that happens to me. Sounds like you've got lots of follies though which is great!
Ella's Mum - I'm on metformin (though I'm a bit slack in taking it I must admit) although I have no PCOS issues, but my FS basically said he didn't think it would do me any harm and might improve my egg quality. I take one slow release 500mg a day, and get no side effects.
We're off to a fancy dinner tonight, a belated dinner with friend's for my 30th. Last chance for me to get boozy as soon I'll be pg I'm sure (positive thinking!!!).
Well hi all,
So much has happened while I was away, hope everyone is doing well.
Had the most amazing four days away with the girls. shopped til we dropped, went and saw Billy Elliot and Wicked both the most amazing shows ever. i loved them, so if in Mel you should try and catch them. We all loved Billy, but we are all teachers and to see those talented children performing was great.
Our flight home was delayed so I didnt get home until 2 am this morning. Then bloods at 7.30, e2 325, LH 5.5 i am absoultely shatters so still jabbing away. Thinking insemination will be late next week, hoping for more than one follicle.
Looks like lots of people starting new cycles soon hope everyone is doing well.
Hi to everyone - there's a lot of us at the moment which means lots of support to be shared around!
Mahli09 - Have you had your EPU yet? Fingers crossed all goes well for you
Infinity - Sending you some positivity vibes and hope you're feeling more positive this week. with your FET.
BOC - all the very best for tomorrow. I had my EPU yesterday and had a general as I had a lot of eggs so not sure about the whole sedation thing.
Saph204 - for you for more than one follie
mitf - a difficult decision as to when to move on from IUI to IVF but one that only you know the answer to. We did 2 cycles of IUI then decided to go straight to IVF - with male factor infertility our chances were low with IUI but we're all different and you've got to find what's right for you
For anyone I've missed - sorry but am sending lots of
AFM - had EPU yesterday and got 31 eggs - 25 of which were able to be ICSI'd. They rang us this morning and said that 23 have fertilised which is great news. On the down side I am at high risk of OHSS and have a low chance of being allowed to go ahead with a transfer on Fri/Sat so desperately desperately hoping we don't get cancelled and are able to go ahead. Anyone got any tips on how to help avoid OHSS - sustagen did somebody mention??
Goodluck everyone!

i just found this too hehehehe...
One downside of using fertility drugs to stimulate egg production is that they can have severe side effects. The most dangerous of these is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
This happens when the ovaries over-react in response to the fertility drugs, and rapidly swell up to several times their normal size. They can also leak fluid into the abdominal cavity.
If you are taking fertility drugs which carry a risk of OHSS, your clinic will monitor you closely. You should be given information on the warning signs to look out for, and an emergency number to phone if you think you are experiencing hyperstimulation.
Signs of OHSS include weight gain and a full, bloated feeling. Some women also have shortness of breath, dizziness, pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. It is vital that you seek medical help if you have any of these symptoms.
Mild symptoms can often be treated by drinking water whenever you’re thirsty, resting and taking painkillers. More severe cases may require admission to hospital for treatment and bed rest while your over-stimulated ovaries settle down.
ladies.... sorry i havent been in here much lately..... have just been lurking
BOC - ooooh its all coming together for you .... best of luck for today..... let us know how it goes....... OUCH on the extra money you have to pay...... that really sucks
Kmond - great news on your eggs hun..... i really dont know anything about OHSS but just wanted to wish you lots of luck and hopefully doesnt happen to you...
Hi and welcome Mitf....i think IVF is a huge step to take.... take all the time you need to thinkk about it then decide whether to do another IUI or IVF... i am going straight towars IVF as i didnt really like the sucess rate of IUI's
Pollyanna - hope AF turns up for you soon so you can get the ball rolling on your FET.. @ your DH offering to pick it up with an eksi..... something my DP would totally ask to do too lmao
Ella'smum .... goodluck with your HSG... mine was also bulkbilled (actually i think i had to pay the gap which was $40 or so)
Smithy.... hope you are doing well hun
A big huge hello to everyone else i have missed... hope everyone is doing well
AFM: i had my nurses appt yesterday, which went fantastic (i love the ladies there..... they are all so nice) anyway i am on Lucrin which im so glad about as i've read horrible things about sniffing.... I didnt ask for lucrin but i just tlked to the nurse about the really bad hayfever i get and colds etc so she gave me Lucrin..... i had my first injection yesterday
ATM i cant bring myself to giving the lucrin so DP is doing it
So im just waiting for AF to come.... hopefully before the 29th as i have another nurses appt to get more drugs... then i have my scans and BT's
I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this..... but does this sound right to anyone...... i started the pill cd6 this month and asked the nurse when do i stop it...... she told me yesterday to stop now... it seemed pointless i was on the pill..... when does everyone else get told to stop the pill???
