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.
Lise- Thanks for the quick reply, I will wait until Friday, and hold off on annoying the nurses. just finished half a block of chocolate, it is all those hormones fault I really hope I am pregnant bacause then I can blame the pregnancy
Meg76- to the forum, It is a great place to vent, share and find out a wealth of information. The ladies in here are great! It is so nice knowing that there are others having simlar experiences. I am guessing from your name that you are 32-33 years. I know the feeling of being told just keep trying you are still young and then before you know it you are not so young anymore and no closer to having a family.
Good luck with your cycle! Do you know what protocol you are on?
I am not posting anymore tonight. Yes Nix and Lise I was also having withdrawal symptoms. Very interesting considering I was a long time lurker and nervous about posting.
Meg76 - welcome! I'm sure you'll find loads of answers and support here, I know I have. Here's hoping now FS has identified the issue your ART journey is a short one.
Well no phone call yet, that's a good thing right?!
I have a couple of questions about Egg Pick Up. I was wondering if anyone has had it done at the Royal Womens? I was hoping I would be at Epworth but there are no beds :-(
If so could you tell me if they did a sedation (when you were half awake) or a general?
I know I should have asked my FS or nurse about it but I completely forgot when I was talking to them.
Hey Meg - Welcome - as the girls said - BB is a great avenue of support & information.
Lise - stop stressing - I am sure everything will be fine! GL for ET today.
Sonya - with EPU I am sure it would be general as well. My only EPU was at Freemasons & it was general so I can't comment on RWomans. But I would have thought the standard is general - I read somewhere you can ask for a local so you can be awake for it.
At home today girls - still in my PJ's and taking it easy! Not thinking about the 2WW - trying to put it out of mind in a sense but still remember to take it easy, watch what I eat etc etc!!! We will see how sane I am feeling by the weekend!!!
Well I'm now officially in the 2WW!! No phone call this morning though while I was having acupuncture my phone rang a couple of times and I had a mini heart attack until I finally got to look at my phone and it was just a friend. Calling twice! Anyway out of the 7 eggs 6 fertilised but 3 of those were again multi nucleate (has anyone else had this? FS told us last time it was very rare but now it's happened to us twice...) so we ended up with 3. Don't know about the grade but FS was very happy with them and we transferred two. Of course I've got my twin names all picked out, covering all three possible combinations
Enough about me. Sonyalouise - I've only had EPU at Freemasons also but from what I understand MIVF always use the same procedure and you won't be awake. At least that's what one of the nurses told me. GL, hope it gies well and you get lots of eggs!
Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying the sunshine!
