Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014

[Emma09]

Hi girls- is anyone cycling at the moment? Or is just me in my lonesome?

[Sarah4kurt13]

Hi Emma :-)
I'm around, but I'm in 2ww atm. It's quiet in here! Understandable a lot if us need a break from all this.
Did puregon injections.
Hope u get lots of good eggs :-).
I'm probably setting myself up for another chem! Don't know why
I did this one lol. I hate giving up! im trying to get DF to agree for pgd :-/ I need lots of luck.

[juniper76]

We're just continuing along in Limboland... Considering another lap for the endo soon and maybe try one last IVF soon after. Maybe. Depends on the $$...

[Sarah4kurt13]

Oh juniper , bloomin dollar is ruling our fate! It's so expensive!

[Emma09]

So expensive :-(

Thanks for your reply Sarah.
Why doesn't your OH want PGD testing?

Had my US today- FS thinks I have about 20 follies so far- excellent numbers.
Being that this is DEFINITELY our last cycle, I really hope for good numbers.
Another US and BT on Wednesday.

[Sarah4kurt13]

20 is an awesome number Emma :-).
Excellent!

Yeah my DF is half in denial we need such help and other half him thinks we have spent a lot already and feels like ltttc is a bottomless money pit! Yeah I hear him but I am still wanting the baby at the end and don't care at all about the money!
I am a poor responder so I'll need 2 ivf egg pick ups to do one lot of pgd :-/.

Good luck getting a golden eggie :-)

Emma fantastic numbers congrats you must be very happy with them xxx

I know its ridiculous how much fertility treatment costs that's why we can only do one cycle its not fair:-(

Juniper CD1 for me today I woke up with af

[Emma09]

Fingers crossed I get that many eggs at EPU!

Has anyone in here had OHSS?
How did it start? When did it start?

You and me both, hun. Hope your AF is being kinder than mine.

Emma, I had some mild OHSS symptoms after EPU in a few cycles, but never full-blown OHSS. I basically felt very bloated but it was a little different to normal bloat. If you suspect it may be a problem for you, start drinking plenty of fluids now. I'd do a mix of water and gatorade (or similar), but mostly water, aiming for 3 litres per day (total for the two, not each) unless your Dr tells you otherwise. I'd also avoid things that can contribute to dehydration - eg coffee, soft drink, salty foods, etc - and try to eat a bit more protein.

Omg omg! :-D:-D who did this I wonder! I wish I could thank them! I will have to look up what premium means
Maybe my luck changing

[Emma09]

US today showed about 25 good sized follicles, just took my trigger- pregnyl is a PITA!
FS told me today that on top of crinone and clexane- I'm also have 2 injections of progesterone.
Has anyone had these before?
Did it hurt?

Sarah- being a platinum member, you are eligible for an avatar! (The little picture next to your name) and also, you can join us in the platinum thread..... It's non-googleable..... I think.

[juniper76]

Emma, I haven't done the PIO (they're very rare in Australia, possibly because of the cost), but I've heard they're not pleasant. To the best of my knowledge, they're always intramuscular shots (usually in the buttock). Great news about the follicles! Keeping FX for EPU!!

Sarah, I think there's a thread in or near the Announcements section for thanking RAKers.
*edit* Here it is: 2014 Thank Your RAK'er Thread!

[Emma09]

Thanks Juniper- makes me wonder if I have heard FS correctly?

[juniper76]

If it was 2 total, I'd guess it might not be right, because it's usually a daily injection. If it was 2 per day, that is also unusual (it's normally only 1 per day). Could they have meant pregnyl booster shots?

[Emma09]

2 total.
It says progesterone support on my schedule.
