Jaxi - I'm so sorry about the Synarel not working. It didnt work for kim either, hence the lucrin injections this time. At least you didnt get to egg pick up stage and ovulate early like kim did. I gather your FS is keen on doing a down reg cycle. I asked our FS about why one would do that kind of cycle rather than a flare cycle (starting lucrin on day 1) and he said he just does what works for him best. But he also said that he thinks other doctors do it so they can try and control EVERYTHING about the timing of your cycle to avoid egg pick ups on the weekends etc.... maybe ask your FS about having a flare cycle instead of a down reg cycle so you will have less time on lucrin.
Baby2Bee - LOL yes kim has a little tummy padding too. 3 years of fertility drugs kinda does that to ya huh. We are doing better with the needles now i think...i dont know as i'm not on the receiving end.
Smithy - how much longer until your FET??
Saph - My poor neice has a specialist in Cairns doing the same thing to her. She is about 90 kgs, so not too bad and she is only 25. Their problems are with sperm issues anyway, but the receptionist told her not to bother making another appointment until she gets serious and loses some weight. So glad our FS doesnt care. He says fat women have babies all the time. Kim is about 82kg so a little overweight for her, I am really overweight now, but started out normal weight 3 years ago. I blame Clomid man that stuff is bad...
Rob - So sorry for your loss, but glad to see you get right back on the horse and rearing to head in for another cycle.
JBM - Good luck and fingers crossed for this cycle!
Tania - How was your EPU?? Hope you are ok!
As for us, Kim is on CD 7, Day 7 of Lucrin, Day 4 of Gonal F 225iu. We go for our first scan and bloods on tuesday morning. She has been having killer headaches and she is having the appropriate amount of ovarian niggling and pains. So SOMETHING is definately happening in there! Can't wait until Tuesday to find out!! Until then, we are just plodding along.
Take care everyone, checking in on you everyday, even if i dont write. Hugs...
