Well update on the clinic. Rang them first thing this morning because I didn't even know how much puregon to take today. The reason they didn't ring was because they had lost my BT results. So quickly had to go and have a blood test this morning. Then got a phone call from the pathology for yesterdays results. It has all turned out okay in the end I am almost about the have my LH surge so another blood test tomorrow.

Evening TTC buddies,

Hope everyones day has been good. Today is DH's birthday so I've been showering him with love!

Have had such terrible pain today. Feel like I have gas trapped up to my ribs. Called the clinic and was told this is normal, from having swollen and bruised ovaries. Have started on a lovely laxative to help things along!!

Great news on my embies. All 11 have divided overnight. 8 are 4 cells and 3 are 2 cells so transfer is definately on Monday now. Will find out in the morning how the little ones went overnight.

Smithy- Good luck for EPU tomorrow. Will be waiting to hear how you go.

Saph- I'm glad you finally have everything sorted out with your clinic. I would have been FUMING! I don't know how you held it together with them but all my respect goes to you for dealing with such a hard situation so well. I'm thinking of you.

WishingBaby- Good luck with everything. Make sure you hang around here with these amazing supportive ladies.

Meredith D- I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately like so many of us here, I know what you are going through. For me after my losses the best thing was to keep moving forward and focusing on the baby I so desire. I hope I can be of some support to you.

Janet- Stay strong. I'm sorry to hear of your BFN. Look after yourself and get your strength up again and move forward when you are ready to.

Sorry if I've missed anyone and welcome to all the new ladies.

Hugs Bel

Bel - glad to hear your embies are doing what they are meant to !!!

saph - Eek at them losing your results!!! I would have been mad!
Janet - hope you are doing okay.
Meredith - Sorry to see you back in here

Am sh*tting myself about tomorrows scan, am just praying that my follicles have kicked into action.

**Bel** · May 29th, 2008, 08:48 PM

Bec- Thinking of you for your scan. I'm hoping so much for you too that your follies are behaving..Who knows..could be the sign of a mischievous child to come!!

Let us know how it goes. Will be thinking of you

Night all

**saph204** · May 29th, 2008, 09:34 PM

Smithy - Just wanted to send you all the best wishes I have for EPU tomorrow.

they get lots of great eggs.

BecD - I hear you with the ovaries with their own minds

I have now been injecting for 26 Days hopefully tomorrow will be the day for both of us. MY one folly was at 17mm on Wed so hopefully it is up around the 19-20 by tomorrow.

Marsha- No I am not taking anything to stop ovulation as I am not doing IVF.

Rustybeth · May 30th, 2008, 03:40 AM

Checking in again.

I have lots of positive thoughts for everyone's attempts this cycle!!!

My injections were extended to 12 days, and my follicle numbers improved. I went from 5 to 20. EPU was on Thursday morning, and they got 14 eggs. I am excited about the numbers, since that means a day 5 transfer if everything goes well.

I did have a question. I am having a large amount of pain and I feel like I'm very distended with gas. Is there anything you ladies who have been through this (EPU) know that can help? I've had Panadiene Forte and hot water bottles going since the procedure and the pain is abating, but the distension isn't. I feel like a cartoon character.

**tiggerlinda** · May 30th, 2008, 06:44 AM

Smithy - Happy Egg Collecting my dear hope you get some nice ripe ones :P
RustyBeth - Try lemonade sweet and as horrid as it sounds moving the more you lay down the further the gas goes up to your rib cage
Bec

for your scan today
Bel - Sounds like your numbers and embies are all going well

Saph JBM and all my other friends in this thread one big

DH and I are off to the FS today to see what we can do next and then we are going to Twin Waters for a night on work loving it

to all

**tiggerlinda** · May 30th, 2008, 10:26 AM

Visted FS and we are on the pill and on track for July cycle. Full details are in my blog

**Bel** · May 30th, 2008, 11:48 AM

Morning All,

RustyBeth- I had EPU on Tues and also have had terrible pain and felt like I had gas up to my ribs. I join you in looking like a cartoon character! My clinic recommended drinking lots of water, as did a good friend of mine who has been through this before. Also my clinic recommended I try agarol- it's a mild laxative which tastes revolting but I think is moving a bit of what is built up in me. Maybe just call your clinic and ask if you can take it but I would recommend it. Apparently the drugs can cause gas and even constipation. My wheat pack has been constantly on my tummy too which I find helps a lot. Hope this helps a bit.

Tigger Linda- Great news about moving on to your next cycle. Have an amazing night at Twin Waters. Have a yummy dinner and enjoy your time relaxing and TRY not to think about TTC...I know easier said than done..

As for me..the clinic called and my little ones are going good. 10 of the 11 are still going. 2 are slow..1 is 3 cells and 1 is 4 cells, but our other 8 are all 8 cells. So fingers crossed that they keep going for Monday which will be day 6. The embryologist said she will be happy if 5 make it. That will give us 3 to freeze.

All my TTC friends..I'll chat to you later,
Bel
