Nix: That's good to hear about your follies. Hope they keep growing nicely.
Tracy: I have also found the injections not as bad as I thought they would be. GL with your BT and US next week.
Hello to the rest of you lovely ladies out there. to you all.
AFM: US yesterday revealed lots of growing follies. Had 9 on my right side averaging around 11-12mm and 7 on the left side at the same size. So all up 16. Also had 14 under 10mm. No wonder I am feeling heavy in my lower abdomen and a bit bloated. I've been told to keep up the water and everything should be fine. My estrogen levels aren't really high to suggest OHSS yet. FX it stays that way. Off for another BT and US on Monday and anticipating EPU on Thursday or Friday.
DH is now bugging me about helping him with some paperwork crap, so I'd better go....
Hope all is well on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Is such lovely weather out there . Hope everyone is right on track with their cycles. for all of you ladies out there and heres to many BFP's hey.
I have a question for all you lovely ladies. I start my first injection of Puregon this evening but during my recent time online here, I have noticed that alot of you have mentioned that you are drinking heaps of water. I have also noticed that this coincides with the FSH injections. Because Im trying to be extra healthy at the moment, Im drinking on average 2ltrs of water per day but was wondering, what is the benefit of drinking extra water!!!
I would definately love to know the answer as no one at the clinic has mentioned it to me at all. Just want to make sure I do everything as right as I can not to mention I'll do anything to assist with a BFP at the end of this
Best be off, fingers crossed for everyone. Fingers crossed for my first Puregon injection and also BT on tuesday morning!!!
Motherhood here i come!, the water is supposed to help avoid OHSS. My clinic recommends drinking 3 litres/day from the start of stims until the end of the 2ww. I've actually found that I can get dehydrated very easily well into the next cycle too so I keep it up for longer.
Afm, I've been lurking... Congrats to our wonderful mums-to-be! GL to those cycling.
I'm onto another cycle and have agreed to the acu's recommendation to add chinese herbs to the regime this cycle. We'll see what happens. Still counting down to IVF#4 in November (and, of course, secretly hoping we won't need it)...
Had 2nd US and BT this morning. I have 3 good size (over 20mm) follies on my left side and 2 on my right. Sonographer said that there is a good chance FS will decide to wait until the others catch up (there were another 10 that are around 15mm), but couldn't be sure.
I'm now just waiting for the phone call to let me know what to do......... Feeling like c#%p today!!!! Didn't drink as much water as I should've yesterday and now I'm paying for it. Sonographer also said I had a bit of free fluid around my ovaries/abdomen, but not too much
Sorry for the me post, I'm at work trying to get everything done before I need to take time off for the EPU.
Motherhood here i come! - as per CassI80 - I think its to prevent OHSS. I should really take that advice and drink more water myself.
Onja - Welcome!
Tracy- I think we all feel the same, I was just saying to DH - I just don't feel like me, these hormones turn you into another person!
CassI80 - when is your EPU? I think mine is Friday at this stage.
I had over 11 follies this morning only 2 over 1cm - so they wont be triggering me today, possibly Wednesday instead - which is great cause I get to recover after EPU over the weekend. Apart from that I am at the stage where any little movement, be it walking or sitting down I feel like my ovaries are on yo-yo strings boucing around inside me -is so painful and I feel so puffy at the moment!
to you all.
Question!
. Hope everyone is right on track with their cycles. 
for all of you ladies out there and heres to many BFP's hey.
GL to those cycling.
