I was saying to hubby this time I have had caffeine and the last time (with dd) I didn't. That's the major difference. If I have to go again I will try no caffeine again
Totally selfish vent....
DF really knows how to whind me up & push my buttons. Why do men do that ? They know what ekk's you & they **** you off on purpose. He knows whats going on in my body atm, my hormones are crazy & that im likely to snap at any minute... He makes me want to cry sometimes. I bought a little baby outfit & it is just so cute, he rolled his eyes & said "f'ing obsessed" I tell him that it hurts me & he doesnt care. Wahhh !
curtysgirl I feel for you xxx *hugs*
they REALLY are from mars!
I don't know how we put up with them sometimes x
Curtsy girl - I am so sorry your DH is not being very supportive and kind to you at the moment, that must be so hard. Hug hug
curtysgirl - sorry to hear about DH. They always seem to pick the wrong time to say these things....
krikkit - Interesting about the caffeine, I might try no caffeine for my next IVF cycle but not sure how I will go giving it up!!
kerbear - Good luck with your scan today
Emma09 - Hope you got some rest yesterday and that you're feeling better today
myturn - I hope you have a better day today :hug:
AFM - AF has arrived so CD1 for me today - YAY
Been vomiting since three am and have a killer headache. Just waiting for clinic to open to call...
oh, no... do you think it's the new drug/s? hope you're feeling better soon. xx
I think so. I have been feeling crap since starting :(
Curtsygirl - ouch!!! :hug:
n2l - I really hope you feel okay soon :comfort: poor thing!!
Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a bit better today - although it could change any moment :)
just got to work after my scan - terrible rain down here today!!!
Anyway, scan seemed to show 8 growing on one side and 6 on the other. Still small. But all about the same size. My lining is good - usually is - so just more waiting and stabbing until they grow more.
Hope everyone has a good day whatever sniffing, stabbing or waiting you are doing xoxox
Krikket - I don't drink coffee, but I went caffeine free (ie no coke!!) in June and even though it ended in miscarriage, I did get a BFP. So I'm off caffeine for good now (apart from the occasional coke zero - and definitely not during a cycle. I'm hoping it wasn't just a fluke as well :) xox
N2l - so sorry to hear you are really sick, that sucks and I hope you get some answers from the clinic and you feel better soon xo
Myturn - excellent results for your follicles :-)
CG- sorry your DH is being a douche :hug:
N2L- did you get through to your clinic- hope you feel better soon.
Myturn- excellent news on the follicles- keep growing follies!
AFM- sore and feeling sorry for myself!
7 eggs collected from 1 side and 3 from the other- bowel was in the way again!!
I'm hoping for 5-7 to fertilize!
N2L - hope the clinic has advised you what to do & you start feeling better soon.
Emma -fx for good fertilisation rates. Rest up!
Krikkit - I am trying no caffeine this cycle - I did have one a week before transfer but now none since. I have had 2 cokes though. I love coffee & was used to one or two a day. I did cut back to one a day a while ago now just having a decaf each morning. The nespresso decaf a are not too bad & makes me feel like I'm having a coffee. Ill let you know next week if it has worked.
Curstygirl - try not to worry about dh - they really have no idea!
Kearbear -good luck with scan
Hi to everyone else
Afm - just plodding along its only been 4 days since transfer - feels like forever! Bt not till the 6th.
Just spoke to FS - finally I can stop taking synarel!! I have an appt with them 19th Dec to start planning next IVF cycle from next AF so should be able to start around xmas time. Only problem is i'm going away to QLD from 2nd Jan - 10th Jan so I hope this won't delay anything if I'm not here to get blood tests etc. I know it won't effect EPU as lab doesn't open until 14th Jan. I guess I'll speak to them about it on the 19th.
N2L - sorry to hear your feeling so crap - I hope the nausea passes soon....
That's great news Faye. Hope your holiday away doesn't affect starting your cycle. We really need to put our lives on hold for ivf don't we.
I just did a little research & found that the nespresso pods of decaf are 99.9% caffeine free - so I guess I am still getting a tiny bit of caffeine. Perhaps if this cycle doesn't work ill try complete caffeine free.
Sneaking in to say I got 2 BFP's going caffeine free. I have not had any caffeine (apart from a little bit of chocolate) since CD 1 of our May cycle when I got my first BFP. I think it definately helped.
Scan today went really well, I have about 5 follicles between 10-15mm which is way better than normal size and the rest are under 10mm. We have about 14 in total. I think this explains the soreness and feeling a bit sick. Start cetratide today, scan thur and sat then EPU on Monday!!!!!
Emma - well done on EPU, rest up xo

Good news kerbear ;)
im still guess my EPU will be tues wed or thurs - but depends in how they grow :) back for a scan on Friday for me.
Great news on scans girls :)
My scan isn't until Friday. I guess everything is slower with down reg?
I have been asleep all day. I spoke to nurse and he thinks it could be gastro with migraine. He's not keen to blame drugs. I don't think it's gastro though. Anyway, I took two mersyndol (on his instructions) and have been knocked out since.
I just woke up when DP rang to check on me.i still feel spacey.
I feel stuff going on in my ovaries. I just hope and pray there are some good quality follies getting themselves ready. Friday is ages away.
Congrats on good haul Emma.
Hi Everyone,
I'm so sorry i have been MIA. My 5 year old split his head open at kindy and had to have an operation to get internal and external stiches. The doctor reccomended
he stay home for 2 weeks so not to bang his head and open it again, and my 9 month old is teething so not getting alot of sleep either.
But now DS2 is back at kindy at least for this week they go on holiday at the end of this week till they start school next year its just a bit hard getting on the computer
when his home his really full on sometimes.
Just a question my af was 6 days late this month which is really weird cause there always on time anyway i had a really faint positive on my test at 9dpo but
then 2 days later all the tests i done came back negitive which i thought was weird as this has never happened before cause then when i finally got af and after it had stopped 2 days later i got
some light brown discharge with some clots in it so im not sure what to think.
I'm not sure what CD i am cause i'm out for this month as DP away working.
I'm really sorry i need to read back to catch up on everyone and do some persies.
Rai - my gosh sounds like things have been full on for you lately, hope your little ones are feeling better.
N2l - mersyndol is amazing for knocking you out. The spacey head will go away soon it knocks you around for a little while. Hope you feel better soon and your scan Friday shows lots of follicles :-)
My turn - hopefully your epu won't be to far after mine xo
I forgot how much I hate cetratide, I cried after giving myself the needle today and my ovaries are so sore. To top it off my sciatic nerve is pinching and shooting pain down my leg....it has been great for ages and now it plays up!!!!
We just booked another night at Ballina this weekend to get away before hospital Monday.
Hope you have all had a good day :-)
Thanks Kerbear :)
Just wondering how long people usually stim on a down reg cycle. My first scan on Friday will be after 8 days of jabs.
I can't help with that one cause I have never done down reg, sorry :-(
n2l - I had mine first scan at day 7 or 8 for my recent down reg, antagonist was always at around day 5. goodluck on friday. xx
Thanks Andie! When did you trigger on down reg?
n2l, I'm just looking at my iperiod app - the first down reg cycle went as follows....
19 sep 11 = CD6 (possibly CD5 as I think AF came in the afternoon, but I still put it in my app as CD1... anyway...) = started pill
3 jan 12 = CD21 = started synarel
9 jan 12 = CD27 = stopped pill (continue synarel)
14 jan 12 = CD32 withdrawal bleed (but I call it CD1 again, as it's like a full AF for me...)
16 jan 12 = CD3 = Down Regulation scan
20 jan 12 = CD7 = 2nd DR scan = started Puregon (continue synarel)
27 jan 12 = CD14 = stimulation scan
30 jan 12 = CD17 = stimulation scan
31 jan 12 = CD18 = trigger
2 feb 12 = CD20 = OPU
4 feb 12 = CD22 = ET (this was the cycle that gave me 3 embryos - nothing stuck though...)
2nd down reg went as follows....
3 june 12 = CD5 = started pill
20 june 12 = CD20 = started synarel
26 june 12 = CD28 = stopped pill (continue synarel)
1 july 12 = CD33 withdrawal bleed (again I call this CD1 again)
2 july 12 = Down regulation scan
3 july 12 = CD3 = started Puregon (continue synarel)
10 july 12 = CD10 = stimulation scan
12 july 12 = CD12 = stimulation scan
15 july 12 = CD15 = trigger
17 july 12 = CD17 = OPU
19 july 12 = ET
My antagonist cycle in October was first scan was CD8, again on CD10, CD13, CD15, CD17 (had to increase the meds each time to boost the little follicles :) ) this was 5 days of jabbing before the scan.
The current cycle I am in, scan was on CD8, which was (again) after 5 days of meds (in this case clomid, and puregon). I have to start the orgalutran tomorrow as well... not looking forward to that one, it hurts more :(
so... back to your question (which I probably could have answered in a sentence, but it was interesting to process each cycle this way anyway..!) scans were after 8 days of jabbing both times :) sounds like you are on track to me.... :lol:..... jeez..... I could have just counted and saved you all having TMI, sorry!!
No wonder Down reg feels like it takes forever...! it does!!! I just checked the MIVF booklet that has the two diagrams about how the cycles usually look, and the scans are on different days following stim drugs.... :)
the antagonist is much quicker, and I certainly feel like things are happening more... but I think I was less emotional on the Down reg - this time I am just a blubbering mess over little things! My poor brothers both copped it today! one over the phone (where I didn't know what he wanted me to do about an impossible situation with my dad) and the other one (17 year old!) after the phone call where I just couldn't stop crying and leant into his shoulders and just hugged him and cried.... the poor thing, he won't know what was going on!!! ( still he was pretty gorgeous and lovely and later on when I apologised for being a sook he said "it's okay we all need to be a sook sometimes"...
anyway... long story short..... N2L, yes.... the stim drugs are taken for longer on down reg.... .... yes.... in real life I do go on a bit..... ;) sorry girls, I hope it was helpful, I'm going to leave it all in as it was useful processing information anyway, and it's kinda amusing to follow my thought processes, and I have to submit you all to the pain as well... :rofl:
I'm going to go to bed, and meditate on my little ovaries for a while ;) love you all xoxo
:
see... that's what I should have written..... but.... seeing I spent an exorborant amount of time processing the whole shebang, you have to suffer with my super long post.... xxx
New thread ladies :goodluck:
Thanks guys :)
I am just trying to forsee when EPU might be. All goes well, I'm guessing second half of next week??
I guess I'll know more Friday.
Myturn, I have been much more emotional on down reg than antagonist.
