Long-term TTC & Assisted Conception - December 2009/January 2010

[Leabie]

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...

Hi ladies

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

good morning,

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!

Leabie, I definitely remember that particular symptom (hard to forget, right?), but I can't for the life of me remember when I had it!! Sorry. It's been a while since I had any Pregnyl so I think it may have been when I was pg? Either way it was definitely a hcg or progesterone related thing.
