I am doing ok. Still anxious, but the ms is strangely comforting :)
Be careful what you take pain wise. My clinic said only to take basic panadol and preferred me to take panamax. Nothing that could thin out your lining. The ones for back ache or head aches apparently have anti inflammatory stuff in them.
What day are you looking at for transfer? Is 9 your highest?
I was able to take panadine when I had the OHSS, it's anything with the ibuprofen or asprin that you need to be careful of, I believe ;)
transfer is on friday - I had 9 eggs last time, but there was only the one for transfer - so I am hoping that this cycle brings some better quality. It is earlier in the month so FX that's a good thing. Each cycle we have managed to be a couple of days earlier and I think that can only be good.
I totally understand how the MS is comforting! I knew last time - even though I didn't want to admit - the symptoms all disappeared. So still feeling something has to be good! :hug: I really believe this is IT for you Vic xxx
Myturn - I had a bit of bleeding this time but by the time I went to sleep last night it was gone. Maybe something different this time might be a good thing. My theory is if its the same as when it didn't work then I might not have as much hope.....if something is different maybe it's gonna work.
I must say you and I are so alike, my DH got me red rooster yesterday to lmao,cracked me up when I read your post!!!!
I agree with you saying we shouldn't have to go through all this....it sucks being put through this pain,hopefully it will be worth it for us xoxo
N2l - hope everything has gone smoothly and you are feeling ok.
Vic - sorry you have ms but glad it is comforting at least it is reassurance this are moving along as they should be xo
Just home. Had lap. Sore. Got 7. Bit disappointed.fs said it was very difficult :(
omg Kerbear - that is hilarious ;) eating RR at the same time :rofl: 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!!))
sorry you had to have the lap n2l, im sure you didnt need that extra discomfort while recovering. : (. fingers crossed for fertalisation. xx
kerbear & myturn - hope you're feeling ok & resting up. xx
*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' :rolleyes::
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.
Welcome Bubba, im sorry i have no exp in that area however wishing all the best in your journey xx
M4E oooohhh yay its nearly wedding time ! Have a wonderful day on friday (-:

Just popping in to say hello and to wish you all much luck with your cycles ladies :crossfingers::goodluck:. 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
Miss B,
I just wanted to drop in and send you loads of love. I guess the things really worth having never dome easily:(
I'm not sure if I am allowed to post in here anymore or not? My beautiful twines are 3 months old today - but it feels like yesterday in was in the tww... I think IVF is one of the hardest things anyone can ever do - and I believe the couple that undertaken the journey are special, strong and deserve their dream. I hope for everyone here it comes true.
I wanted to respond to the codeine question.... For various reasons I had a very hard and painful pregnancy - my MFM (OB) had me on panadeine forte until the day the girlsmwere born - from 18 weeks. At times I was also on oxycodone and Ativan for extreme anxiety caused by twin to twin transfusion syndrome. I am not usually a fan of this medication but inwas reassured that an expert could reassure me that there was no risk to my babies.
We all have different opinions on this - I just wanted to let you know that, that's what i had to do to get to 33 weeks - and the girls are perfect (still tiny) but hey - I've always believed size doesn't matter:)
I wish you well ladies...
Sneaks out
Xx

Thanks curtsygirl, me too! And good luck withyour cycle too!!
Good luck for fertilisation rates myturn & n2l.
Myturn I had bleeding for a day or so after epu - I was given panadiene forte for the pain too. I did have 19 eggs collected but was actually feeling so much better once they were out & was able to eat again as wasn't bloated so was a happy girl. Didn't take any more than a day of pain killers.
My bt results were inconclusive as i have very small amount of hcg in my system but low progesterone (near baseline) so need another bt Friday. Doesn't look good for me - I know it's only my second cycle but when there is apparently nothing wrong with me I thought this one would work. Sorry I know many of you girls have been doing ivf a lot longer & still no luck - I am just winging. I don't know how you keep doing it - I admire you all. I just hope af hurries up now so next cycle can get under way. Needs to come by Monday at the latest otherwise we will be taking a break.
beau we are in the same boat. nothing wrong but 2 years on and still not preg ago i understand how you would be feeling expecting it would work. hope you can go again soon xx
Thanks 3rdtimelucky, you're just gorgeous. I've sent you a PM :)
N2L - Hope you are feeling ok today. What a shame they had to do a lap. FX for good fertilisation
myturn - Good luck with transfer Friday

Juniper - How's the ankle going??
Sorry to anyone i've missed - it's so hard to keep up! AFM nothing new to report. Just waiting for "O" now should be another week or so. Appt with FS on 19th Dec due to start the pill as of next CD1 ready for next IVF cycle. FX I don't need it and I fall pregnant naturally. Who knows - the endo has been removed and with DH's low count it only takes 1 to do the job!
Have a good day everyone!
We are having a day 2 transfer this afternoon, not sure how the embies are doing though but will find out today when we get there.

Hi ladies. Sorry I've been so hit-and-miss with the posting lately. I'm all over the place emotionally and just keeping my head above water some days. I'm trying to keep up with everything and help where I can, but I'm not always posting if I have nothing meaningful to add. I'm still cheering you all on though, so please don't think it means it I don't care. I'm hoping for happy news for all of you.
kerbear/faye, thanks for thinking of me. I'm making good progress with the ankle. Had physio today and after she had finished... whatever it is she does that hurts so damn much... I could almost walk normally! I have been getting around the house without crutches since Tuesday, but still need the sticks for longer distances (eg shopping). Unfortunately, it took all of an hour for my calf muscle to tighten up again, but I'm doing my best to walk with a normal step (instead of limping). I'm just very slooooooow.... I can't tell you how liberating it feels to have the use of my hands again (while walking)!! I can open doors and carry things! Seriously, don't take those abilities for granted!! Unfortunately, still a long way off driving because I still have very limited range of movement in the joint (ie can't properly control the accelerator).
On the TTC front, I'm seriously considering getting a second opinion. We have enough money for 1 IVF, but when our FS is predicting we may only get 3 eggs, I'm wondering if it would make more sense to spend that money on several OI cycles? The biggest problems (endo and DOR) are on my end, so I can't help but think we should be using the money to get the most eggs possible. My current FS is great with managing my endo, but very rigid in his approach to AC. I need to make an appt and ask him about this, but I'm 90+% sure he'll say IVF is our only option. There's no out-of-the-box thinking in his process and I think that might be something we need right now.
I guess it all boils down to the fact that doing that one last IVF and putting all our eggs in one basket (pardon the pun) just simply feels wrong. No matter how I look at it, I don't get that feeling in my gut that says, "yes, this is the right way to go". I just get the "it won't work" feeling...
Do you think I'd be burning bridges with the current FS if I went elsewhere for AC? Do you think I could still go back to him for my endo?
kerbear - good luck with transfer thinking of you and sending lots of :hug:
N2l - I'm really sorry you had to have the lap retrieval wishing you a fast recovery and everything crossed for fertilisation :pray:
Beau30 - I'm so sorry about BT results i'm so hoping for you that fri BT results are better. Everyone prays and hopes and everything else
they can think of to make it work it does not matter if its your first time or 50th time its still heartbreaking i completly understand and you
have a right to feel upset and disapointed i'm sending you lots and lots of :hug:
To all the other ladies i'm sending you all lots and lots of :loveshower: I have everything crossed for all you lovely ladies to get your :bfp: ASAP
Juniper76:
Honestly you have to go with your gut and how you truly feel. There is nothing
Wrong with getting a second opinion I was booked in to get a second opinion during my
3.5 years of trying for DS3 and a friend of ours after trying for over a year got
a second opinion and she is now pregnant through iui, I believe if you ever have any doubt
get a second opinion it can't hurt. GOOD LUCK xxxxx
Juniper id get a second opinion if i were unsure. Hope it all works out & im glad your getting around a bit easier.
Ker hope it all goes well for you this afternoon
Afm i was at the clinic for bloods this morning and I fainted. The girls at fertility north were marvellous. Im not allowed to drive in case it happens again and ive been having bad dizzy spells. Doctor checked me over and gave me some panadiene forte and some anti sickness anti dizziness pills. Feeling strong swirling waves of nausea today anf have a constant dull ache behind my eyes. Hopefully ill feel better after a good rest.
About to phone for my blood results
Fx for good prog levels !
Love to all xx
Oestrogen 800
Progesterone 76
Nurse says things are on track & my preggy test is december 15th
Rai - thanks for thinking of me
Juniper - I have to agree with Rai, a second opinion never hurts, every doctor has different opinions at views and depending on how up to date they are depends on what they will try. Ours is determined to never to the same...of it didn't work change something and see if you get better results.
As for advice on doing OI or ivf, I was the opposite dh wanted to go to ivf and I wanted to try OI for a while, after 5 IUI and then changing specialist we found that after our first ivf and the limited follicles that it may have been all wasted as we may not have had eggs in them. So for us I wish we had have gone to ivf earlier but you have to do what feels right for you. It's one of those things that we really can't get a definite answer on.
On the upside I am glad your ankle is getting a bit better xo
Curtsy girl - glad to hear your bloods are doing what they should an that little one is staying stuck.
Well I am now officially PUPO with 2 x day2 embryo's. I would be happy with one but would love both to stick and get twinnies :-). We will know if the other 3 make it to freeze, they are quite fragmented and not quite dividing as they should so we will see.
The ones they transferred were a tiny bit fragmented, one was a 4 cell, the other was a 5 when we got there and turned into a 6 just before transfer. They also used embryo glue so i am hoping it helps them stick. BT is 24th December.
I'm feeling a bit sore tonight - tight stomach area suspect mild OHSS rearing its ugly head... But time will tell. Anyway. It could be the big dinner I had.. :dunno:
Transfer at 10.30 tomorrow
anyway. Fx all is going well for everyone.
Fx kerbear and n2l that this one is it!!!!
My turn I hope It is not ohss again for you. Good luck with transfer tomorrow xo
N2l are you having transfer tomorrow?
Curtsygirl I hope you are ok after you fainted today, thinking of you.
My ovaries and abdomen are still sore and feel full and bloated every time I eat even if it is something small. Question- is this anything tone concerned about? I just feel different to last few times after epu and don't seem to be feeling back to normal as quick.
I often found I still felt bloated a couple of days after EPU, maybe as much as 4 days. I think a couple of times I was bordering on some mild OHSS, but it always eased on its own. I wouldn't worry unless it becomes very painful or you get shortness of breath or you stop peeing. In the meantime, keep up your fluids (water/gatorade) and protein intake!
Thanks juniper I thought that was the case, I am drinking heaps of water and still peering so I am all good for now :-)
Myturn - Good luck for transfer today
This question might be one for FS but someone might know... Since AF finished earlier this week I've been having hot flushes and night sweats. Very strange considering I'm not on any medications at the moment but I was on Zoladex for 6 months until August this year then followed by the pill for almost 3 months and synarel for almost 2 months which just stopped about 2 weeks ago. The only time I had these side effects was when I was on Zoladex for endo.
thanks Ker - my advice is drink lots of gatorade :) enjoy the forced rest.
I'm still a bit bloated, but it's not as bad as last time, so I think things are okay.
just had a call from my FS, and apparently 6 embryos from the 9 eggs, and 2 okay for transfer, but one of those will not freeze, so he is advising to put two in!! yay, I get to put two in :)
I'm cross that there's nothing left, but mostly I'm just excited that we get to try two.... I know that there's an increased risk of problems with twins, but I'd love to have twins. Can't help myself but feel excited.... told myself not to get too excited about this one, but as the due date will be my mums birthday, I can't help but think there's a chance....
ah, all the protective shields have disappeared now!
n2l - hope things are going well with your little blobs ;)
ahhh... the TWW is going to be SOOOOO long this time!!! and I will be doing NO exercise, and going to TRY no chocolate as well :) I'm assuming White Chocolate is caffeine free though ;)
Hi
Just a quick one. I have four fertilised. Bit disappointed :( But what can you do??! Have to ring this arvo to see how they are going.
I have a five day transfer - all going well. So Monday is the day. Finding it very hard to muster up any positivity at all.
Still sore and tender from lap.
Congrats for yesterday Kerbear!
Good luck today Myturn!
Hello to everyone else :)
My turn - I can't get over how similar our cycles have been, a day apart and 2 embryos transferred for both of us. How funny would it be if we both fell pregnant with twins lol.
I forgot to say the other day that I read your post about still trying to get to brissy to meet, that would be so good and can't wait xo
N2l - sorry you are still feeling yuk from your lap, can't wait for you to join us in tww. Hopefully the ones that are fertilized are doing great and you didn't need the others anyway xo. Rest up and look forwards to your transfer on Monday
I am sitting here thinking how long this wait is going to be, I am excited to think after all these months of having a break that we now have a really good chance.....please let it work!!!
Hi to everyone else, it's Friday yay only a few more weeks to Xmas :-)
I guess I am off the list now. poas showed a light 2nd line this morning but more importantly bt yesterday confirms I am pregnant! 2 years of ttc and finally a positive.
I will still be stalking as I want to see you all get a bfp of your own.
I'm a bit scared and nervous but happy and somewhat shocked.
:
Congratulations kbudgie :dance: I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!!!
