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!
Thank you for all your positive wishes but I am sorry to report my levels didn't rise and it is a BFN. It wasn't unexpected as I had some more spotting Sat and AF arrived yesterday. My FS has recommended that we take a month off to recuperate and then hopefully back for an FET in Oct.
I am a little out of touch with this tread so won't do too many personals but I hope everyone is going really well with their treatment and I am sure I will catch up soon.
Tracey - unfortunately being bloated comes with the territory and is a side effect of the drugs. I remember feeling like all my pants were too tight and I had put on a couple of kg's. Things should return to normal a few days after EPU.
Krikit - great result on the follies so far. with your trigger and EPU. I hope the pain and puffiness subsides quickly after EPU. I used to wake up in pain because my bladder was full and pushing against everything.
Cass180 - also great result on your follies so far. with your trigger and EPU also.
Thanks for answering my ? I was just concerned at it happening already kwim? Guess Ill have to find some clothes that hit my tum for the next little while
mitf - sorry and hug. Yeah if this doesn't take I would want to take a month off too. What's is the norm guys.. do you girls go straight back into it??
Tracy - I def started feeling bloated and ovary pain straight away
They got 17 eggs today... feeling right sore!! This is my first go - jeepers not usually a winger but I can't even sit down on the couch and I am sooo afraid of going to the toilet and ahem My ovary paain lessened off but now its the mid to back region which is painful... waddling around like a duck at the moment
Cass & Krikkit - sounds like your follies are coming along nicely. Keep us posted on when your EPU will be. I think you'll be about a week ahead of me.
Onja - Congratulations on 17 eggs!! That's great news. Fingers crossed that you get good fertilisation rates.
Tracy - how are going? I too should warn you that bloating is just part of the IVF journey. Hope you can find some comfy clothes to wear.
Mitf - already PM'd you but didn't want to leave you out of my reply. Hope you're going ok.
AFM - Have had 4 gonal-f injections so far and have my first U/S and BT tomorrow to check progress. Not feeling too bloated (yet), but I'm sure that will come soon enough. At this stage, my EPU is scheduled for Friday 4th Sept, but that will all depend on how quickly / slowly thing are developing I guess. I'm hoping it's the Friday though, so I have the weekend to recover.
Have decided that I'm doing this cycle with 100% positivity this time around (am usually pretty pessimistic and always expecting the worst to happen). This time though, I'm only going to be positive with my fingers crossed that this cycle is going to be the one.
I have been TTC since July 2007... on and off... probably more off than on the past year! Unexplained, had mild endo removed in March which has helped my AF sooo much.
Anyway if I don't fall preg by end of year I will go for IVF.. of course I don't want too, I did have a psychic say I would fall spring this year, which is now... so here's hoping
It is so hard to talk to friends etc about this... i keep it all to myself and do get a bit sad, but I have started to ensure I live life to the full and not give up on anything and not stop planning things 'just incase'.
good luck to each and every one of you and look forward to 'getting to know you' all better
to you all.
My ovary paain lessened off but now its the mid to back region which is painful... waddling around like a duck at the moment
