Evening Girls

Well it's going to be tough to remeber everyones news
Nixon: So happy to hear your up to your EPU , don't think i'll be there until next saturday (my birthday)
Bec- OMG 20 eggs is amazing and 9 embies is even better best of luck for friday
kateB- Try to be patient sweetie and eat all the bad stuff you wont be able to when you get that BFP. I go off all caffiene when on IVF so thats what i want when things head south.
Dusty- Hope all is going well for you

To everyone else I have forgotten and i know its plenty keeping my fingers crossed that things go well.

AFM- Well BT & US on D8 showed 2 x1cm follicles and 50 small ones, too soon to tell if they are going to grow my next BT & US this Saturday.

Until then, hugs to all and lots of baby dust

hi Everyone

Just a quick question i'm taking synarel, gonal-f and prednisolone and have been for a week and it makes me absolutely exhausted. I came home from work yesterday and slept till hubby got me something to eat then straight back to bed. Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks Ladies
Bee

[Nixon]

Hey Bee,

I was on Lurcrin and Puregon (until today) and I was absolutely knackered. I could easily have slept all day. Even with being in bed by 830 and then up at 830 I was still yawning from around 11am onwards.

I hope it gets better for you. Mine did (kind of) or maybe I just got used to being tired - not sure..

Hi All

I'm just starting an IVF ISCI cycle so thought that I would join in.

Our TTC journey is long and extremely booring so I shan't go into it but all systems are now go. I should be starting Lucrin in about two weeks (assuming that the pharmacy can get some - there isn't any available in the state at the moment - supply issues apparently) and am apprehensive and excited all at once.

There are some familiar faces about and I look forward to getting to know everyone else really soon.

Hi Everyone

Muppity:

Nixon: Congrats on getting an EPU date. You must feel relieved that things are now moving forward for you. Fingers crossed that you get some good eggs and really good embryo's :goodluck2

AFM: Had FS appt yesterday and all systems go for our HRT FET in September. Based on dates I would estimate that we will do the transfer around the 23rd - 25th Sept, depending on whether they choose some of our Day 3 or Day 5 frosties. I have requested to have 2 transferred at the FET to hope that this will be successful. They seemed ok with transferring 2 as I am 35 with a family history of early menopause. So this means I will start the Pill when AF arrives (which should be any day now) and get everything in good order for hopefully a successful transfer.

I also went to the Chinese Medicine Doctor yesterday to work out a plan for Acupuncture around transfer time. He also did a full assessment on me and gave me herbs to take. I am hesitant to take anything in case they react to the medications I need to take for this cycle, so think I will just have the acupuncture. Has anyone taken Chinese Herbs at the same time as taking meds?? Did it have any affect???

[Marsha]

Muppity....hello

Nixon-my trigger is also on thurs, IUI on sat at 11am....Lotsa of for us...

Smithy-been busy and now i can only access Bellybelly at home. Internet access limited at werk.

Bee83-im taking jus the gonal-f and am feeling lethargic, suppose its jus normal with the hormonal medi

KellyD - chinese herbs are jus yucky for me, too bitter. took it b4 my ICSI, jus to try it out.

Nic good luck today

Hi Everyone

This is my first visit to this site and it is interesting to read how everyone is going. I am at day 3 of my 3rd round of clomid, last month Dr upd the dose but it worked as I ovulated. Really don't enjoy day 2 as the side effects hit home, otherwise just hoping this month could be a good one. A change of luck must be due soon.

All the best to everyone else.

Hi MsJ, welcome . I truly do hope this month is the month for you. Good luck
