Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - November 2006 #2

Jo - BD began at the start of the week, then had a couple of days off because I had a sore back. Got back into it last night though LOL. Asked DH if he felt like BDing, and the hugest grin came across his face. Obviously he had no problems with feeling used this time. Told him he was on duty again tonight, so we catch an eggie this month.

Hope all are doing well where ever you are up to in your cycles and toes crossed for you all.

sushee Thank you for the abbreviations link, I think I am getting my head around it all now

Megan Thank you for the welcome and I understand what you mean about it being a BFP epidemic. For me I feel like it has been going on for a while now. One person tells you the are then you deal with that and then another one comes along. At times I wish they would tell me there secret instead of saying things like "relax, it will happen when you are ready, have a holiday or go out on a big night on the town or just don't try", I know that are trying to be supportive but sometimes Hopefully your surpirse will be just around the next corner

For me, today was day 8 BT & US which was basically looking at my Oestrogen again and also seeing how many follicles are there and what size they are. Looks like reducing my Puregon to 100 has slowed things down a little which is great, so my Oestrogen was 4640 which they said was good for this stage in my cycle. The US show 17 little follicles, 11 on the left and 6 on the right, but at the moment they are still a little on the small side and still need to do some growing so another BT & US on Monday.

I was told not to expect all these follicles to have eggs in them and they don't always make it through to egg pick up, however I still was rather surprised at the number, I was really only expecting to see half that. Now this explains the bloated feeling and tight feeling in the lower stomach.

I am feeling much better from these test results today, was feeling from my last BT that I was going to over stimulate and they were going to cancel the cycle but now all seems to be going good again so now we just have to wait and see! Playing that waiting game again!
