I had my first scan this morning to check the progress of the little eggs. Was left with a bit of a dissapointing result, only 5 eggs currently growing. The previous cycles i had 12 & 14. But as hubby said, it only takes one! They've kept my level of puregon the same (175) so next scan will be this Friday.
I notice some talk about 'clotting factors'. One of the routine blood tests I had from my first appt with my FS discovered I had 'Factor V Laiden'. This is a clotting disorder that makes you more prone to developing blood clots. I've never had a clot & have no family history so it wasn't an impact at all on my previous pregnancy. All I'm required to do is to wear the sexy pressure stockings after any surgery and take 'Claxine' injections for a week after. I've never been advised to take asprin or anything else.
terry, sonyalouise, Leabie and Loops - Thank you so much for your well wishes . You ladies have been fantasitc and I don't think I could have gotten through this TTC journey without you all . I'm 'ing that you will all be joining me soon on Emerald Star's Wall of Fame!
sonyaluoise - I haven't really joined another forum yet.... I did post twice in the Belly Buddies Due 1-15 July 2010 but haven't really continued posting. There is a Pregnancy after LTTTC thread which I think airline and a few of the other girls are in. I found it a little daunting as there are heaps of other ladies in there who are well along in their pregnancies.... They all do seem lovely though so maybe worth you checking out that thread .
to all the ladies TTC and sending you all lots and lots of !
Juniper, I have always been wheeled in to EPU. I just assumed everyone did? They give me a general for the EPU but nothing for the ET, which I am still wheeled in a wheelchair!
Do others get a general for their pick-up and also get to walk in? I don't know, maybe I need to be wheeled in as I might do a runner...
I'm scheduled for 1.45 tomorrow for pick-up. Had to do the dreaded trigger injection last night. My partner cut his finger on those wicked glass vials! So we were up at 1.45 am last night - dog tired from working late, too - and instead of it being me trying to do the injection we were worried about his bleeding finger! D'oh!
Littlemissmoo, I know how you feel about a small number of egss. I have never got more than 11. This time FS thinks it's 8. I remember waking up in recovery last time and hearing the nurses talk about the lady who shared the room with me prior to pick-up and she had 31 eggs! I was so jealous. for your pick-up.
Hope all you lovely ladies are having a good week!
Littlemissmoo - your DH is right, it only takes one! Try not to stress too much, I've learnt from experience that stress makes eggies not grow
Brunette - imagine how uncomfortable that lady would've been, carrying around 31 eggs! How did she even sit down?!
I have a TMI question for anyone who uses Pregnyl... do you ever get itchy nipples?! I've been getting pins-and-needles ouchy itchy, and then I have to scratch, and OWWW! How embarrassing... especially when I get caught doing it...
I came in a little while ago and introduced myself but haven't been back in since. I have been waiting for AF to start an OI cycle of FSH injections, but didn't respond to the provera (what the?) so am not on OCP for 21days. Was due to start FSH (if CD2 bt was all good) in about a week and a half, but DH had a second SA done yesterday (first one was just generic GP one) and it came back with sperm antibodies. So if its confirmed in another test, then it will be straight to IVF (probably ICSI). I haven't spoken with FS yet, have to call on Monday morning. The nurse told DH today that they won't be bothering with the OI and I imagine that there won't be time to do an IVF cycle before Christmas, so I'm not sure where we are at right now.
I hope you are all well and I hope to get to know you so I can do some personals soon. Good luck to everyone, wherever you are in your cycles.
Leabie - I know, the lady with 31 eggs must have been very uncomfortable. She was as skinny as a whippet, too - though I suppose that doesn't matter, as an ovary is an ovary, hey? Sorry, never been on Pregnyl.
AFM,I'm in today for pick-up. Starting to stress. I hate going under anaesthetic. Please, please, please let the eggs be of good quality and my partner have super-sperm
Brunette, good luck with the collection today hope it all goes well.
I had my scan this morning, a better result I now have about 8 eggs growing which i'm happy about. They will call this afternoon with further instructions but the nurse seems to think it will probably be next Wed for my collection will wait for the phone call!
