Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - Jan 2008 #2

[Acacia]

W1 - I can see you found the TWW thread Wonderful news about your embryo! Best of luck for your TWW. There'll be quite a few people around to support you in the next couple of weeks!

TP - I'm sorry to hear about the persistent cyst. Can you ask your FS to clarify what the cyst is? My understanding is that a persistent cyst is a simple ovarian cyst that just doesn't want to resolve itself. Perhaps it would help to ask the doctor for some further information. What has he/she said the next step is? Hope you're ok, hun.

BD - we're moving next week too. We can be movies buddies Hope you're hanging in there.

AB - I used to have a little chant, very tongue in cheek, when I was younger:
"Procrastinate, procrastinate,
Why do stuff when we can wait!"
Hmmmm, not a great idea at the moment! We'll get there though. Just have to get on with things

RH - great news from your b/t! I hope the rest of the TWW goes quickly and I will be thinking of you lots, especially next week. Hang in there! It's sounds really positive at this point!
I've been trying to not let the procrastination bug bite me for this move, as it's such a big thing (we're moving o/s) and most days are good and I'm getting through lots of stuff, and it's not last minute, but yesterday I was having big procrastination moment lol. Back on track later in the day and today again! The end is in sight!!

Tish - I hope your move went smoothly The build-up for my first ever injection was stressful too. I just sat there holding the pen and couldn't seem to actually tell my brain to start injecting. I'm sure we've all been like this the first time, so we all understand! I'm sure it'll be a breeze after a couple of days, even though it's a big deal.
Each person is different with when they start to feel anything, if at all from the stims. For me personally, I started feeling tender after about 5 days of injections (I'm up to day 8 today). My first cycle back in Novmber, I starting feeling things a day or so later. Usually by a day or two before the trigger injection a lot of people feel quite tender and bloated, but the extent of this is individual for everyone.
Having a scan and b/t earlier is probably a good thing in your first cycle. As your FS doesn't really know how your body is going to respond to stims the first time, they're probably checking early to gauge your response and see if anything (dosage) needs to be adjusted. It's a good thing - a conscientious FS! I'm glad you're asking questions as you need, Tish. It's hard to know what's going on in your first cycle - everything is new and unknown, but having people on BB answering my questions in my first cycle was a huge help. There will always be someone here to help you with anything you think of Good Luck!

I m sitting here in my office reading these threads, which is procrastination in its finest, when I came read your chant. I started laughing and my son, 18, who works for us doing data entry and shares my office, just looked at me strangly but i just kept on laughing. Then I read the chant to him and he laughed as well. So basically you had the 2 of us highly amuzed.
