Bel - I haven't started my cycle yet, but I can relate to how you feel - it sucks basically that what seems so easy for others is hard for us. I can't believe how many of my friends didn't really want children initially, then decided to have them and got pregnant straight away - yet I've always wanted to be a Mum and we're struggling - where's the logic? Big hugs to you!
We had our 'injection' training today and got to stick a needle into a model of skin tissue. That was easy, but I'm sure it will be a different story when I actually have to do it to myself! Still - it will be worth it if we end up with our baby.
We are doing a short cycle - hopefully will start injections next week.
KateB - That's great you are doing a short cycle, timewise it is more like doing a natural cycle. My first cycle was a down reg long cycle. It took 43 looooong days (taking the pill, sniffing and then jabbing) just to get to EPU, then obviously another TWW to find out if we were pregnant or not! All in all a long time.
Yes I've realised we are lucky - I didn't realise there were 'types' of IVF before we started. I didn't really know much about IVF at all really - maybe I even thought we just went to a clinic and got a baby all gurgling and cute and wrapped up in a bunny rug! But guess not!
Hey Ladies,
Just a quick Update on myself.. I got my results back HCG is 22 at the moment I am only 12DPO so can I assume thats good? I am soooo sick at the moment with this OHSS aswell nothing seems to be helping I am going to get some panadeine forte and then see if that helps if it does not then I will have to be admitted into hospital I am soo scared I keep getting hot and cold flushes too and really bad stomach pains ...
Thanks to you all for listening to me and sorry about being slack on personals!
Hey Miss K - I don't know much about levels so can't help out there. Please don't apologise for anything - you need to take care of yourself number one priority! I hope you feel so much better soon. Will be for you!
paula: good luck with injections, i'm glad for weekend too.
kate: good to practice jabbing, don't forget to pull out epipen before you jab yourself, like i did and had to do it 2 times first go. ouch. not too bad after that. i just pinched fat bit of tummy real hard before injecting, think it helped me? good luck
janie: hope your acu goes well tommorrow, good luck
missk: hoping you feel better soon, when do you know for sure if you preg or not? i don't understand the numbers for tests?,
good luck to you
angelbabies: hi, how are you feeling? hope you ok
possums: hi, you are not alone and bb is great, i could not have survived without the support i get in here.
Possums - Hoping your 3 little embies are strong ones and make it all the way. Are you having day5 transfer?
Tiggerlinda - How are you going darl? Have you had follie scan yet?
KateB - welcome and best of luck on your journey. I am hoping you are not with us very long before you move on to a pg thread (not that we wouldn't enjoy your company here!)
MissK - Did you have a pregnyl trigger? If not, then 22 at 12dpo sounds like a BFP to me - Yay, yay!!
Hoping the OHSS settles very soon so you can start to enjoy it
Saph - praying you get a natural miracle this month
Janie - Hoping the extra progynova is doing the trick for you and there is a nice thick lining by Mon
Bel - rest up darl. Hoping a good "clean out" does the trick for next cycle
JBM - acupuncture is great eh? Hope it does the trick for you
Paula - yep, the news frustrates me too. Lately there has been so many stories of child neglect. It breaks my heart to think so many babies are so unappreciated, yet their parents just keep breeding like rabbits! Best of luck for this cycle. Hopefully it is your last for a long, long time
AFM - Had scan yesterday. Follies still very slow. 14mm on left ovary and 11mm on right. Lining slightly better at 4.5mm which I am ok with since at least better and still more time to improve. Thought they would get me back for another scan on Mon but FN has decided just to do IUI on Tues assuming follies will be ready. Would have preferred to go a,little longer for lining to thicken but can't really argue. I think they are worried I might suddenly develop to many follies and have to cancel. Just praying everything grows well in the next few days. This has been such a looong and weird cycle. I usually stim so much better.
But guess not!
I am soo scared I keep getting hot and cold flushes too and really bad stomach pains ...
for you!
