nix - have you heard from your fs yet re. popping to embies back? I hope they come to
the party if that's what you want to do. you're making an informed decision at the
end of the day
mel - great news that you're finding the injections not too bad. I decided that I'd give
them to myself as 1. dh not always there 2. if I have to go through it all, I'm
giving myself the flipping needles!
I do find numbing area with ice block helps though. dh has done the deed in my hospital room when i'm in theatre/recovery and drives it to clinic...5 min. away.
lise - 7 eggs is great...well done, and fingers crossed between now and wed. for ya
AFM - it's official AF has left the building. Very odd, fleeting visit, but clinic said all good. soooo 8am tom. morning is no. 1 injection. up to 225 gonal f now, so saying a and doing a, cos 2 weeks Wednesday and it's EPU whoo hoo!
Hi ladies, Thank you everyone for all your reassuring words, I have done a lot of research on follicle growth and feel a little more at ease. I guess I was just focusing on the fact my FS said there were only three possible follicles mature enough. I just hope the rest of them have caught up.
Lise- Great result for the egg pick up! I hope they all fertilise. How are you feeling? Have you recovered ok?
Mummawannabe- I saw that story about the woman with the two EDD, it is amazing!
Tracey- Great to hear you have started again.
Airline- I am so glad your AF worries are over, although reading your descriptions have been very amusing.
Nix- Great news about the surge finally arriving, hope the transfer goes well and they let you put the two frosties in. DH and I are secretly hoping we can put two in as well.
Meltcc- After losing a few epic posts I now write all my responses in word then copy and paste. Glad to hear your injections are going well. Dh has gives sample on site as we take over an hour to get to the clinic, he hasn?t had any problems as far as I know.
Emerald- Not long now!
AFM- will find out today when the EPU is, I am very ready to stop the hormones my body has started to protest!
Will anyone be at MIVF today - I will be there for ET at 3.20pm. My fill in FS has agreed to a 2 emby transfer. I could not beleive it when the nurse said he changed it on the system for me.
Quick one sorry..
Mel - thanks for that info on surge and ov and BBT - there is stuff in there that I didn't know. I'm going to print that and keep it - thanks heaps.
Lise - My FS is Scott Pearce but he is away so I have Houssam Elzeiny - his fill in. I have no idea who he is or anything about him, but I am sure he is fine adn is not going to make a dif to my ET results. He was the one who made the call on agreeing to a 2 emby transfer. Anyone heard of / use him at all?
Lise - 7 is a good number - that is really good. You will get a few out of that for sure and even if a couple don't make it that still seems like a good number. GL for ET.
Airline / Sonya - thanks foryour wishes. Am glad about the 2 back. Its still such a big decision. I needed more convincing than DP - he just wants to increase our chances and I think he really believes that both will not take so twins is a remote chance really. But we are Ok if twins does happen - my gosh that will be MASSIVE and instant family!! I will be so devestated tho if neither make it. I also have a bit of a theory that if my body is not ready then neither will take anyhow. So is it a waste? I've decided to just go with it and see what happens - and that there really is such little amount of actual control over this whle thing. Its up to mother nature from this arvo on. (and of course me to look after myself. Am taking tomorrow off to rest up well)
Speak to you ladies soon - must run am leaving work early obviously and off tomorrow so lots to do!
Hey sonya, great news re. EPU date today. I'm imagining little blobby hormones running around your body with placards....probably similar to
Nix..you posted just as I started to. Good Luck..buckets of it with sticky dust vibes sprinkled on top!
AFM
well......this morning's first injection actually hurt a little, not putting needle in...or slowly pushing the end/button thing in, but we hold it in for 10 seconds and by 8 I was like, 'oooh that's sore' not sure if it was volume of liquid....hope it doesn't continue. For those who are worried about injecting...it still wasn't that bad...not as bad even as getting a BT. For me the worst bit is the speculum...and the ET. I have tilted uterus and oohhh it's not nice!
anyway, have a lovely day everyone!
OMG - did anyone else notice BB was down for most of today - I was having withdrawal symptoms!
Had ET today - the fill in FS was fantastic - highly recomend to anyone. It all went well and I was wrapped to have my DP there with me. Our 2 emby's thawed well, apparently they were 'x" number of cells and they both lost a cell each but then gained them back ?? - apparently a common thing. But they seemed pretty happy with the 2 and so we are now officially in the BT on 20/10 Bring it on!!!!
Nix, yes!! I was dreadful this afternoon, trying to get on every 5 minutes. Methinks I need to get a life
airline - woohoo, injection time! Though sorry to hear it was a bit painful for you. If it's any consolation, they do get easier with time.
sonyalouise - I know what you mean! My hormones are out of control at the moment and i've put on several kilos since starting injections. I don't know if hormones make me eat chocolate or if I just have no self control when i'm hormonal, a bit chicken and the egg I guess! Hope you start to feel a bit better soon, and that EPU isn't far away.
Nix - glad ET went well today and that you got your two put back in Will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and hopefully will be joining you in the 2WW tomorrow.
AFM - ET tomorrow at 10:30. I've booked acupuncture appointments before and after and am still deciding how many days off work I should take. What do other people do after ET?
Anyway, i've got to hand the computer over to DH. Have a good night everyone.
Nix- My FS is Hossam Elzeiney, and I really like him, even though he did make a mistake about which scan I was in for at one of our consults. Glad to hear the ET went well and that you liked him. It is god to hear feedback. My FS told me about two embryo transfers that if a 100 women under 35 had two transferred and all the pregnancies were successful that 33 would have twins. So you neer know you may end up with two yet.
Airline- You are funny, I think that at the moment the hormones are now running around jumping for joy because I just had my trigger and will be in for EPU Thursday yippee! I hope the injections get easier.
Lise- You must have been posting at the same time. Good luck with ET tomorrow, when did thhey let you know the ET time? I was told today about the EPU but not ET. I was thinking of calling tomorrow because I also need to book acupuncture. But it will be a Saturday so it might be a bit tricky.
I am not taking anytime off after ET as it is scheduled for Saturday, but I am having Weds-Friday off. I decided to take tomorrow off because the hormones were getting to me a little and I have this terrible wheezing cough that I pray doesn't turn into anything more.
sonyalouise - glad you finally have dates for EPU and ET, such a nice feeling!! The nurses call the day before ET with the time and depending on where you go for acupuncture I've found they're great about fitting in ET acupuncture sessions.
and doing a
, cos 2 weeks Wednesday and it's EPU whoo hoo!
BT on 20/10 Bring it on!!!!
Will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you 
and hopefully will be joining you in the 2WW tomorrow.
