Thanks for the tips, Terry, especially about going home after the BTs. I was thinking of doing them in the afternoon as I would be more hydrated after drinking 8 glasses of water during the day
Trubabe, Hope everything goes well for your mum when she sees the specialist!
Afm, to be completely honest, my sleep patterns are so screwed up because I became very depressed after our transfer was cancelled. The insomnia kicks in and I can't get to sleep at night and then I can't wake up in the morning because I've only just gotten to sleep. Last "night" I finally got to sleep after sunrise... Hopefully since I've only had 4 hours of (bad) sleep I'll manage to get to sleep at a normal time tonight... And then I just need to reach a point where I won't burst into tears if someone asks me how my Christmas was by Monday (when I go back to work).
Just letting you all know that i had my FS appointment yesterday and we have gone from the Anatagonist Protocol to the Agonist ( down reg) Protocol which i start the synarel on Friday....I'm hoping that with this change comes a positive result..just as we all wish...
Danyelle - i noticed in your post you mentioned St George hospital...Are you with IVF Australia there ?? if so, who is your FS?? That is where i go and just glad to see someone might be so close to home!!
Juniper, I feel for you babe. After the first few IVF cycles which failed, I remember being at work and tears just welling in my eyes when nobody had asked me anything. I kept telling myself, `get a grip, you're at work,' and just hoping no-one had noticed. Keep your chin up!
Brunette, I've done that so often when I wasn't this upset - I am absolutely dreading having to go back to work on Monday! I just know I'm going to have either one or both managers (who know about the cancelled transfer) coming in to ask me how I'm doing. And then I've got my performance review sometime in the next two weeks and the IVF is sure to be raised during that as well...
Juniper, any chance you can head them off at the pass by emailing them something before they come and and ask you questions? Do they already know the results, or this is something they do each cycle? My manager knows about IVF, too, and while I have chatted to her about the cycle prior to getting the result, she never asks me afterwards and I never tell her - a bit odd, I suppose, but she seems to just know not to ask.
The egg whites are extra protein which are supposed to be good for absorbing any excess water - so it helps with the OHSS a lot and eases the bloatedness. I am feeling better, and will keep up with the egg whites, but maybe only a few a day, for the next week or so.
I am really sulking today, sitting here crying. I am very angry with myself today.
I want to know: Why is it so hard to get pregnant ?????????????? and why is it even hard when your over 38 .
Oh if I could turn back time !
If you had asked me 20 years ago if I ever thought I would have problems, I would have said no way, thats why I'm on the Pill.
(I was on the pill for 15 years, don't know why ! Only found out when I went to FS that I can't fall pregnant naturally being PCOS)
Sorry for the whingeing
