Mrs eeyore - Welcome. I am sure you will lurve it here. There are such lovely people here & their knowledge would put a Prof in his/her place!!!! You will find comfort in the people of similar backgrounds and encouragement from all! Hope you enjoy your stay until you move to the Pregnant forum!
Loula - Bigs hugs sent your way. Hoping AF comes quickly. Better that DFS made the decision for you. Its easier that way. Looking forward to hearing how you are feeling. I needed a big "CaCa" too & it relieved some of the pain. I guess thats why its water, water, water! Take Care hun.
Diva - You crack me up! No way do I want that DVD LOL! My DH would be pausing it through everything. He's a Nat Geo & Discovery Channel guy and into that stuff! Your DH sounds like a real gem. Hope he's coping ok. Its good to see you have maintained your sense of humour!
Sonya - Yipppppeeeee. Cant wait to hear how you went this afternoon. Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!
Me - Had our transfer this morning. Ohhhhh the pain of it. I have a real bad time with the cervix part and have since my second m/c. As I notice the "shoehorn" miss nurse tells me that if I had a full bladder, it moves the uterus away from the cervix & there is less pain??? What? I had just emptied it! Its a pity they dont put that down on the info before you get there. She was lovely though. My FS couldnt make it, something else came up so I was sick to my tummy when I got in there. Sweating, tense, crying the whole drama queen stuff. DH drove me insane with "Its OK." Its not ok, ohhhh the pain of it! He kept patting my shoulder and moving me & I was trying to stay so still. I was demonic! Yes, progesterone is kicking in!! Blastie had a little squiggly line on the side where it is ready to implant. Looks beautiful if I do say so myself. Now the TWW. 23rd July for BT. They are growing other 4 blasties until tomorrow as they seem to be a bit slow today. They will call me re: freezing. Going to rest for the next 24hrs & clear my thoughts & love my DH.
traceylee - Congratulations hun!!! *hugs* ... Whilst it's certainly no fun, the end results are totally worth it ... take care of yourself and don't go to your man for some loving ... let him come to you!!!
Tracey,
Just wanted to pop in and wish you so much luck - i know about the cervix thing - never had a problem until i m/c then next icsi cycle after that with transfer they had to move my cervix to get thru not too pleasant i must admit - just relax for the next day or two and talk to your little embie - will be keeping an eye out for you. Sprinke of
transfer done. not too bad, just a bit uncomfy. sorry TL that yours was horrific. it will all be a distant memory soon.... my BT is fri 20, yay only 9 days.
Hi Ladies I have a question.
I am on the gonal f pen and was taking 150 dose and had my BT yesterday which revealed a reading of 287 which it should be around 500. So they have increased my dose to 225. The nurses feel that it should be ok and I wont need another BT to check they sadi just come in for your scan on Tues morn. has anyone else had this occur adn what were the results of the dose increase??
Thank you
Just lost my whole post. Dont you just hate that ? well in answer to your Q blayz i have only ever over responde to all my meds even when on 150iu . I think once you have your scan you will and they will get a much better idea. Just give your clinic a call he you are starting to get any pain more than what you should !as you will get some 'growing pains'. I hope that helps and good luck hun.
Wow - I have just spent more than half an hour catching up on the old thread and the new thread. What great things have been happening - congrats on the transfers TraceyLee and Sonya - not long now till b/ts - good luck to you both!!
Lou - hopefully AF comes for you soon! Take care hun.
Krispy Kremes? Heard lots about them - seen them on TV - have NEVER had one! Maybe once I have lost 3 or 4 more kgs I might treat myself (currently 6kgs down in 5 weeks!) so not to far to go. I am worried that if I have one I will be hooked - I have heard they are like crack only worse
We got a DVD from our clinic - it was very helpful and both DF and I have watched it several times. It really did help to relieve a lot of my concerns about the whole process, but for some I can understand it is best left as a mystery!
Rols - I agree with the other ladies - knowing that my DF is around for support when I need it, which is not always all of the time, because I can be a bit strong willed at times which might have something to do with hormones... but being there for some appointments and even hanging around while I give myself the injections is all comforting and reassuring. Re the hot baths - my DF has a super hot shower twice a day and loves hot baths - I wonder if that could also be part of the reason for his dodgy morphology?
Well my AF finally arrived tonight - which ended up being a 32 day cycle for me which is probably not too bad considering I was on the Gonal-F injections for a few extra days. But it is a relief for it to finally be here. So I will call the nurses in the morning, organise a b/t and hopefully be snorting and injecting within the next day or so! How exciting not having to do a full down reg cycle! YAY!!
Anyway, this is getting very long. I wish I could send more personals - I have been busy reading but there is so much happening with everyone that I can't keep up! Take care all and will chat again soon.

Chez67 - Ooooooo are you doing a "flare" cycle??? If you are I'd lurve some details!!! I want to go flare first cab off the rank, but I've got a funny feeling they'll make me do a down reg first which means more waiting which I don't wanna!!! *pouts*
This time around i only had 9 days of intections then EPU, no spray no pill nothing just injections and felt it was much (nicer) if that word and IVF go together???? but i did suffer in the end but thats cause the does just needed a little twicking
i'm with you Lou - the cycle without synarel first was a much "nicer" experience - quicker, less stressful. much better!!! hoping you're feeling better soon hun
Chez - woo hoo on getting going again! that's great news hun. hopefully you'll be getting to another EPU really soon.
Diva - it's highly unlikely you'll get your first cycle without some sort of down-reg - the docs like to have complete control over your hormones when you're cycling, and they can only do that during down reg. sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear hun!
To throw a spanner in the works, my first ever cycle was a flare . But I consistently got more eggs and more evenly matured eggs too when on down reg. So I guess the extra time was a trade off for better quality eggs. Just something to be optimistic about if you have to do a down reg, diva.
Yes I am doing a flare cycle. I only just found that out this morning from the nurses that that is what I should be calling it! Another term to add to my IVF list! I had my b/t this morning and now just waiting on the results to confirm that I can start, although I will have to go back into MIVF to pick up a script for the Gonal-F. My FS was talking about starting me on a dose of 450 straight up so hopefully I won't be on them for 17 days like I was last time but if that is what has to happen to get a few good size follies then that will be fine. I am feeling so excited that we are starting again, although the cost is going to be a bit of downer, but hey that's life I guess! I don't have any idea about expected EPU dates yet, I guess it will depend on the result of my first scan? Or is it likely they will do b/ts first? So many questions now are popping into my head as I haven't done a flare before. Can anyone help out? Last time I started on the injections and did a follow up scan 7 days later and that was when they decided to increase my dose.
Mumof5 - sorry, I have lost track. Where are you up to in your cycle? So many people to keep track of now, and some in the TWW thread as well, how exciting!!
Lou - how are you feeling now hun? Has some of the pain and discomfort eased off a bit? I hope you are resting as much as possible and keeping your fluids up, even the powerade etc which I don't like but hey, better than an IV in hospital I guess Take care of yourself - I am thinking of you.
