Congratulations PlanetSasha!
So my US this morning (cd 10) showed 5 follicles again. Only 5. :( And epu will be Monday.
I had an emotional outburst in the clinic after the US. I think they think I'm a difficult patient now, after the fuss with the nurse that told me is go to jail for taking IVF drugs into Bali, and then this. The nurse reacted like I told her it was her fault, I don't even know now what happened. I feel like I'm holding it together most of the time, and then something tips me over the edge and I lose it. Tears, feeling like a useless little person. Can't look anyone in the eye. Ashamed of myself for feeling that way.
And they offer me counselling, but my last session with the counsellor emphasised that I'm 40, my fertility is failing month by month and that our chances of success are pretty poor. So that made feel worse, and every time I think of it I cry more.
IVF sucks.
Pholi I'm so sorry you were made to feel like that, don't feel bad about your outburst its totally understandable I am sure we have all felt like that, be easy on yourself TTC and IVF truly does suck. I don't understand why the councillor would emphasise about being 40 and fertility failing, stupid stupid person we know that but its not impossible to fall pg at our age it can be done don't give up, thinking of you xxx
Juniper its CD1 for me today

Pholi, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm sure you're not the first patient they've ever had who was disappointed and having a hard time with their cycle. If they can't show a little compassion and understanding they're in the wrong line of work... Hope you can enjoy your weekend and that your FS find a few surprise eggies at your EPU on Monday. xx
So sorry to hear this pholi. IVF is a hard journey and we all need compassion and understanding. I have no idea why the counsellor stressed those things. Definitely not helpful. We all know far to well our individual circumstances that make falling pregnant difficult. What we need is support to cope with that and the emotional roller coaster of dreams and disappointments. Virtual hugs babe. Somedays its all about putting one foot in front of the other and then having no more expectations of ourselves. We are only human and there is only so much humans can cope with at one time. Be kind to yourself. Hugs.
Thanks ladies.

Good luck with EPU today Pholi.
Good Luck today Pholi, hope they got lots of eggs :pray:
Thanks 1mp and Caty.
We got 6 eggs, all were mature, this time. Last round we got 8 eggs and 7 were mature, 1 disintegrated with the ICSI process, and 6 fertilized. So we'll see how the ICSI goes this time.
Last time we had 3 good embryos at day 3, but none grew past that so at day 5 we had nothing to transfer. Because we are using the embryoscope this time, the embryologists have agreed to give me a report on days 2 and 4 as well as 1, 3 and 5. So day 4 feels like the biggest hurdle this time - will they have grown on from day 3 at all- but intellectually I know that every stage is a hurdle we need to get past.
I think the helplessness is a big part of why this is so hard for me. I'm used to being able to actively guide my 'destiny' through planning and action, so this whole 'sit back and wait to see what happens' thing is hard to take.
Great pick up Pholi, good luck with your precious little embies xxx

Hi juniper, I'm CD1 today. On my wedding anniversary!! :( Can you put me down as 'waiting for lap on 5th Nov' or something to that effect. We're not trying this month due to that. Did you catch up on your sleep?
All the best, Pholi :)
Spoons, sorry to hear AF crashed your anniversary. :( I hope your lap helps.
Sorry but I had to laugh at your question about my sleep... Yesterday I was at work for 11.5 hour and had only had 2 hours of sleep (thanks to insomnia plus an early morning b/t)... Had a big sleep in on Sunday though, so that helped a little. Had another early morning b/t this morning and back again tomorrow, so kind of hoping to get a sleep in on Thursday...
Just called for today's b/t results and was told the FS wants to see me tomorrow (instead of just another b/t). Oestrogen has plateaued and no LH surge (actually a very slight drop from yesterday's), so kind of worried about what that might mean...
