Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - February/March 2009

[xx Rob xx]

Afternoon Everyone,

Well change of plans. EPU is going to be Friday which will mean T/F next Wed.

I feel like I am going to explode so it will be interesting to see how many eggs we get this time. Although I do hope that this is better.

How did everyone else go with their BT & U/S today ???

FC just called. They want me to do one last puregon injection tonight (25ml only) and come back in tomorrow for a BT and U/S and they are almost definite they'll get me to trigger tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me what to expect for the EPU? Will I be sore afterwards? I guess it differs for everyone but I'm still interested in everyone's experiences.

Jaxi - I have only had 1 previous cycle. Mine was a light anaesthetic so I was a little tired for the next couple of days. As for soreness not too much, a little discomfort but panadol was all i needed. I am still more uncomfortable this time so also have no idea what to expect.

We will just have to compare notes.

Hi Jaxi, for my past 3 EPUs I have always had a general, I normally have at least 2 days off afterwards to recover, I find the more follies you have the more tender you are, as they are piercing the wall of the vagina and each individual follie to retrieve the egg, the more follies, the more piercings. The most I had was 19 follies, I was sorest then, bleed a little for a day or two, but found the pain very managable with Panadol, and just felt tenderness when sneezing, laughing or moving quickly. But everyone is different. You will be fine, best of luck, x

Hi everyone,

Just had my second day of jabbing! I called the FC to let them know AF had arrived on Sat and to book in for my first B/T and U/S. It should be CD9 but that falls on a Sun so it will be Sat but instead of being able to go to my clinic (it's closed on a Sat as well - which i didn't know!) i have to go ages away to another one - not a major issue but it's a longer drive and i will see one of their nurses not the one i have already built up rapport with - anyway i don't have a choice so i best suck it up and get over it!!!

Jaxi - how exciting you are so close! - will love to hear your experience with EPU - being my first cycle also i'm a little nervous about that bit!

Rob - your getting there! Hope you don't burst take care.

Loops - still no AF , i'm praying for you - it's frustrating isn't it!!

Twomums - great your triggering tonight GL for EPU XX

Missmagpie - WOW CONGRATS - WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST XX

Bride of chucky - GL starting your cycle hope you get that BFP - no fluvax -

Take care
