Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - May 2008

Best of luck Smithy!

I was starting to get worried that no one was around in the thread anymore!

[Janie71]

I'm still here also Paula!

Great to have a cycle buddy Smithy. I started on the Puregon yesterday, so we are on track to having retrievals etc around the same time (hopefully if my ovaries don't decide to have a mind of their own).

Hi Paula,

Still watching my fellow muskateer from the wings!!! Great egg numbers, hope everything goes well on Fri and you will know the date of EPU soon!
Me, just laying low at the moment, more lurking than posting. Had ET Monday 12th and now have 1 fantastic looking blasty onboard. Out of 8 eggs collected this one was the only 1 to make it - but you only need one right! So I am hoping this little one wants to stick around and join our kooky family!! Had a PM from Polly today. She is doing ok, although has had to give up work due to being hospitalised twice for severe dehydration from MS. She sends her love to you

Hi and to all you gorgeous ladies!!!
Belinda

[*Paula*]

Belinda that is fantastic. I didnt realise you had your ET already. Best of luck hun! Cant wait to hear your fantastic news. Please please please send my love to Polly if you talk to her again!

Hi everyone, well those who are still left here.
Have bloods and scan tomorrow, hopefully will trigger soon I am so bloated none of my pants fit.
Paula good luck for the scan tomorrow hoping for lots of eggies. I amhopping for one or two but not to many that they cancel the cycle.
Well will let you know the outcome from tomorrow.

[tiggerlinda]

Saph I will be thinking of you sweet

[Carla MP]

GL Saph.....any news????

[saph204]

Well haven't had the call yet but had two follies one on each side but only measuring 10mm and 11mm so still have some time to go looks like we could be heading for the 25 days again.There were lots of little ones. But have to say scan has made me feel more comfortable for the moment. I dont know maybe it moved something around in there. Man I am a bit peeved. Not only have the clinic put there prices up a 20% increase ( I would like a 20% payrise) they have stopped giving us the trigger. Would have been nice if they had told us. Had to ring around and find the drugs but doesn't look like I will need them to soon anyway.

Carla thankyou so much for poping in and checking up on me and all of us. Hope that everything is going well.

TL hope those little ones are snuggling in. Have you had a double transfer before?

Well back to the grind stone. Baking that is Thought I might make some cookies for my scrapbook gathering tonight.

[tiggerlinda]

Saph hun Yes I have had a double transfer 2 busbs on board hopefully

[*Paula*]

Hey Saph that sux that your clinic wont give you the trigger. And why do you have to ring around? Cant you just pick it up from a chemist?

Had my third scan and BT today and all looking good. Had a massive follie measuring 20mm on the right and one on the left measuring 18mm but the rest are still around 14mm so they want me to keep going for a few more days to let the other grow. BT showed E2 is at 1400 so im quite happy with that. Seems to be a steady increase so i cant complain. Back on Monday for HOPEFULLY my last scan and BT before trigger. It actually works out well because DH is flat out at work tomorrow and Monday so it wouldnt have worked out too good if i was to have EPU this weekend or Monday. So back to jabbing and sniffing and hopefully Monday is the day i get booked in!

Just a few questions, do we stop the Synarel on the day of the trigger or keep going? And, if i was to get a good result on Monday would i be told to take the trigger on Monday night or Tuesday?

Oh and i nearly forgot.... IT'S FRIDAY!!

[tiggerlinda]

Paula usally stop on Trigger day, Trigger may be Mon depening on EPU day

[Janie71]

GL Paula! Sounds like you are getting so close. Me I have my first follicle scan on Monday, so hopefully things are moving along. I feel like absolute crap today. Had the worst night sleep, was so hot and had a headache. Had a bad headache all day and generally feel a bit "Moanall" (hormonal in my language).

Hope everyone else is well. Have a great weekend ladies.

Hi All,

Well I'm back after a short break which felt like forever to me. Have been on the dreaded Lucrin for a couple of weeks now and started Gonal F yesterday. BT and ultrasounds next week for PU on 27th May.

I'll try to read through you posts to catch up on where you are all at.

I'm praying that this is my time. Last cycle was cancelled the day before TF as my last 2 little frozen embies didn't survive and the cycle before I got my much wanted BFP only to have my little one taken from me again.

So now I am feeling a bit stronger again and am ready to get back on this rolllercoaster...I think!!

Wishing you all a good weekend and the strength to remain positive.

Take care Bel

[~BecD~]

Well am on Day 2 today so no doubt you will see a lot more of me in these parts Had my BT and scan this morning which showed everything is at baseline levels and I start injecting tomorrow morning. Am starting at 150iu Gonal-F which I am happy with, and have my next scan/BT on Tuesday morning.

[Rustybeth]

I'm a newbie around here. I just started my first stim cycle with Synarel. Today will be day 2 of Gonal-H injections, with a scan and BT scheduled for the 23rd. DH has gone to bed ill, so I will have to give myself the jab--not a problem though.

I'm just really tired from the Synarel and on top of all that, we've just moved house this past week and I cannot imagine better exhaustion practice than all of this. I made the comment to DH that babies don't let you sleep well either, and he just grinned. So, I'm just waiting for the next set of side effects and hoping we get a good set of eggs for the ICSI (DH has sperm deficiency). And I hope I can get used to sleeping in a new house soon! I hate waking up at strange noises.

[Kema]

Hey Girls,

It feels like ages since I last posted, however in reality it's only been a week or so, man time drags................

Rustybeth

Anyway hope all is well with everyone, it's all really happeneing now.

AF finally arrived for me on Monday (Day 1) and I have a scan booked for Tuesday (Day 9) to see if I have a dominant follicle, so we can go ahead with our Natural FET. My last FET was cancelled because I didn't ovulate last month, but FS asures me it's from my March hyperstim.

I cant seem to relax GROW follicle GROW!
