Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception Nov-Dec 2012

omg Kerbear - that is hilarious eating RR at the same time love it was telling DH last night that I seriously wanted that trip to brisbane to meet you sometime soon..... I'm working on it lovely... xxx

n2l - I'm glad you got 7 at least, sorry it wasn't more though hope you feel better quickly - lap surgery to get your little eggies would suck - rest up and get your lovely DH and baby girl (whose not really a baby... but...) to look after you xox

myturn, I had bleeding after 1 of my (5) EPUs. No bleeding for the other ones. If you're not in any pain and there's no signs of infection (eg fever or funky smelling discharge) then you're probably fine. You can always call your Dr's office if you're worried though (trust your instincts).

N2L, sorry to hear you ended up with the lap retrieval. I hope you heal quickly.

As for the codeine (ie panadeine) issue, it's a bit of a grey area for pg. My GP said it was okay when used sparingly, but not proven to be completely safe. However, it is on my clinic's "safe" list for during IVF cycles and I always used Panadeine Max after my EPUs. So, I'd use it during the 2ww no problem, but I'd only use it as a last resort after a BFP.

I'm not worried exactly.... just annoyed..... just an added frustration at something that we shouldn't have to be doing anyway....

they had me taking panadine for the OHSS and it was a godsend, but yes, I wouldn't be doing it much. Just needed a bit of a boost earlier, and it should all be okay by friday (FX) so I can't imagine needing it again - and if I get OHSS again I will be rather peed off!! I think because I am not doing the pregnyl it won't be so bad even if I do get it.

anyway.... DH has had a lovely afternoon digging up the rest of the back garden which is the last bit to be finished so we can start doing the 'final' things before we are ready to sell. yay! (hopefully I can help keep his motivation, but I can't help him now (which was why I pushed for us to start a few weeks ago so i could help... and now he has to finish it without me!!))

*hugs* hope you recover quickly from the lap, it is amazing how extreme the treatments we need are (and the tests) compared to what our men have to 'endure'

Maybe that is proof they are the weaker sex!

it was n2l who had the lap, i just had standard EPU but that's okay....

DH actually said the same thing to me earlier today.... when I apologised for putting him through all this he just said "it's you that has to do it all" love him xx

OMG so sorry myturn - I have had a day of brain fade, its been terrible! Actually its been a few days of it and it not like me at all!

Wish I could say it is baby brain LMAO

My DH has not been exposed to very much so far so its hard for him when I am upset and stressed.

Just popping in to say hello and to wish you all much luck with your cycles ladies . Don't have much energy to go through all the posts and I think I have missed out on so much in here, but just know that I'm thinking of you all and have everything crossed for you. Many hugs everyone xoxoxoxox
