Mell good luck and I'll hopefully join you later on the 2ww.
Sandy girl- I have that burning thing all the time! It's worse if you lay down afterwards. I wouldn't worry about whether you get it or not. I find sometimes I get the bad taste very badly, sometimes not, sometimes I get like a cold stuffy nose feeling, and sometimes I get the burning - it can vary.

yeeeeehhhhaaaaaa I'm back in!!! AF FINALLY arrived today and I'm in for a BT and scan tomorrow morning! It's my first IVF cycle (after IUI's) and I'm pretty pumped (well until the drugs kick in anyway). I've been pumping Synarel and apart from the bad taste I'm ok with it......however remembering to take it is more of an issue!! Wishing everyone lots and lots of luck!
Hi ladies, may I join you? I'm currently doing IVF#3 and expecting EPU at the end of next week.
Misty, I was wondering if the levels they referred to were your E2 levels? Did you have a blood test that they may have been referring to? An elevated E2 level can indicate likelihood of OHSS. GL on Wednesday.
Baby2Bee, I have multiple alarms set on my mobile to make sure I remember. It's so hard to remember anything through the brain fog it causes. Even with the alarms I managed to take one dose about 3 hours late last cycle. GL with your cycle.
Jumping back in to the LTTTC tread. I am feeling rather frustrated at the moment. Why does everything seem to take so long in TTC land!
We recently had our seconn BFN from IUI, and am looking at a laproscopy prior to heading to IVF. The ladies at the clinic promised me a quick appointment with our FS but then told me it will be 4 weeks wait.... then I will have to book in and wait for my laproscopy... then I am not sure how long I will nedd to recover from this berfore we can finally begin IVF.... it is so frustrating.
I just want to move forward and feel like I am progressing with the journey rather than waiting aroung all the time....
Can anyone tell me how long the recovery is after a laproscopy? How long do you have to wait before you can consider moving ahead with IVF?
Mel & Misty- Thanks girls. That makes me feel better. I've had a constant mild headache today as well. I guess the stuff in really kicking in.
Baby2bell (welcome back) & juniper (welcome)- I set the alarms too. I might have to add multiples because last night it went off. DH checked it, turned it off but forgot to tell me. Luckily I realised at the right time. He was very apologetic.
mitf- I went to the FS four weeks after my Lap to get the IVF ball rolling. I organised it so IVF started the next cycle after AF. So basically I wait for one cycle before jumping into IVF. I booked my first app. earlier because I knew there would be waiting time. To answer second question, recovery from lap (for me anyway. I've had 4) can be from 1-2 weeks. Depending on what you've had done. If it is just exploratory, less, 4-5 days will be o.k. HTH. GL
Hi Mitf,
I had a lap last December and mine was to remove an endometrioma, it was a long surgery and it was very painfull afterwards... It was close to 4 weeks to fully recover and on second AF I could have started an IVF cycle (which I didn't but because of other reasons...)
Girls, so relieved to hear that synarel leaves a bad taste sometimes...I thought I was doing something wrong as it doesn't happen everytime...
Well FSH is going well, today was incredible: Didn't hurt a thing! I was so happy and proud of myself!! Sometimes just feels that the needle is stuck... and you have to force it in... or you don't feel the needle but the stinging of the drug...
Juniper I will be doing EPU next week as well... anyone else scheduled for an EPU soon?
Hi all
Im back in here after a bit of a break from BB whilst moving house etc and just so I would stop thinking about it all for a while and just have some fun.
I have just received all the paperwork for our first IVF cycle and the counselling session and initial consultation to discuss meds etc are booked in for June/July in Sale.
It is unbeliveable how much paperwork there is to fill out - it is really bugging me especially since ive just filled out heaps of paperwork to buy a house. And now we have to get a police check done as well. Bloody Govt. policy etc.
How is everyone going?
Its been good to read your posts so that I know what to expect from the Syranel and IVF procedures etc.
I tell you I am a bit scared about it all.
Welcome back Loops! We wrote the cheque out last night and filled out all the paperwork for FS and then the paperwork for the EPU etc etc etc etc etc!!!! It's a nightmare but worth it in the end! I started my cycle a couple of days ago with Puregon injections starting this morning!! Just yell when you need to chat! When's your cycle due to start?
I'm feeling really positive today!!! until the puregon kicks in anyway!!
Thanks for the welcome ladies - it's nice to have people on similar journey's to 'type' to!
Spring: oooohhhhh - your DH sounds lovely - that brought a tear to my eye! Hoping your 7 sleeps pass quickly!!
Loops12: Hi! Paperwork sucks right! I didn't get too much to do for my clinic but they have asked for me to bring in my scan images for PCOS (after a bit of digging & hunting I found them!) June 1st for me - not long now!
AFM: Doc gave me drugs to stop my bleeding: boy did they work quickly - I feel like a new woman!!! I was kind of disappointed in her reaction to the way Im feeling ATM - stressed out & not sleeping: all she said was that I should do more exercise (I already park my car 1km from work & walk - gotta squeeze it in where I can!) & relaxation techniques to help the sleep. I have to say I'm a bit disappoionted - I've been going to her for the last 2 years & she's usually been pretty helpful. Maybe it was her time of the month?? LOL
Spring, sorry to hear the test was negative. Do you have a plan in mind for your next attempt? There is a list of suggestions floating around another IF website I visit. If I can find it I'll post it.
Sandygirl, GL with the puregon.
Esperan, sorry to hear you have to wait for your transfer, but those sound like great results! I'm sure the FET will be here before you know it!
Afm, I'm back from EPU and we got 5 eggs this time, 1 less than my usual. Could have been worse, but I guess I was hoping for better. Now the long wait until tomorrow to find out how they went...
Hi all!
Juniper, no worries about quantity... quality is what it counts... I remember on my 1st cycle I got 13 eggs and another lady on the same day had 5 eggs. My cycle was cancelled because i didn't get any fertilized. She got pregnant... So no worries... you will be fine! have lots of rest!
Spring, So sorry to hear about your result If I knew a bit more about TWW I would love to help you with some info. But I haven't gone through this road yet... I know it's hard but try to think positive for the next round... take some time off if you don't feel like it straight away... I'm sending a lot of good vibes for you!
Babytruj, GL on tour TWW
Loops, July is just around the corner!! you might be getting excited!!
Sandygirl, GL with puregon tonight.
Cssl80, GL with IVF cycle
Baby2bee, how was your scan today?
Misty77, How is the TWW journey going for you? Hope you are feeling well.
Mrs P, you had EPU today? How are you feeling? Heaps of rest!
Miss K, thanks for telling us about that book!
Mrs Zeg, your cycle is not too far now...
Me: feeling fine, still bloated and drinking A LOT of liquids... Nurse still call me everyday to check how I'm doing... I stopped reading about OHSS on internet because I was getting parannoyed... Hopefully I will not get sick...
Hi there ladies, hope all is well for you...
I have just been reading a few of your stories and thought i would say hi.
I am currently undergoing ICSI, it's our first time and am now on the TWW, we recently found out we have no good embies to freeze, and so if this lil one doesn't stick it's back to the drawing board.
A admire each and everyone of you who are going through any assisted conception, and i wish you all the very best of luck
I know I shouldn't have, but I did a HPT this morning - its been since Friday morning since my last dose of pregnyl 1000.
I got a
I cant get too upset, cause I know that I shouldnt have done it and I cant run off crying at work every 2 seconds, but this SUCKS! its only my 1st round, but I dunno how you all do it over and over again. The pressure to "perform" is massive, everyone around me knows about the IVF is counting on it working.
Has anyone heard of HPT's being wrong? I still did my dose of pregnyl afterwards, but I felt a bit strange doing it - almost like there is no point.
My hat is off to you all who continue on every month with persistance and patience - this is really hard.
Krikkit - when is your BT scheduled? I wouldn't give up hope till you have a confirmed BFN BT or AF arrives. My sister's AF was late on a natural cycle and she got a HPT BFN, then a couple of days later getting a HPT BFP. GL and FX that your body just isn't sending the right signals yet. Also, I know what you mean about the pressure. We decided not to tell most people we are doing IVF. When friends ask how we are going we just say we are saving for and thinking about moving to IVF in a few months so they stop asking.

Even with the alarms I managed to take one dose about 3 hours late last cycle. GL with your cycle.
Can't wait for it to be over - but not as nervous as last time.
