Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - September/October 2009

[Coral73]

Good Morning Ladies,

I'm back at work today (bummer!). I hope everyone is well and things are going to plan with your cycle (where ever you are at!).

motherhood here i come - I am so sorry to hear that you estragon levels are not rising higher with the increased FSH dose... I am that you get a sudden spike before your next BT and that your FS will be able to assist with getting those stubborn numbers moving in the right direction. Know that we are all here for support and big hugs to you . This is definitely a very trying time in our lives and I keep going back to the fact that when we all finally get there...it will be that much sweeter...

Nix - It is pretty overwhelming to consider doing another stim. I faced that scenario not long ago.... I must admit that this cycle has been considerably easier to manage than the 1st as I have allot more knowledge of what to expect and what questions to ask. Good Luck with cycle #2 and I pray that it will be your last!

I will definitely have a chat to FS about a reduction in FSH.. seems like the logical thing to me - maybe 125iu.... Not that I am any expert of course, he, he!

Loops - Still have my fingers crossed that AF is nowhere to be seen... you just never know! Thank you for your support about my little eggs making it to day 5. I am so hoping...

sonyalouise - I am so sorry to hear that you have had some bleeding.. I am that it was implantation and not nasty AF on her way. Don't give up hope yet as some ladies do bleed a little and are still pregnant.... I think that our clinic's wouldn't bother getting us in for a BT after a little bit of a bleed if it wasn't possible to still be pregnant . Thanks for the well wishes in getting my little ones to blastie!

lise - GOOD LUCK with the results today! I will be awaiting with anticipation! MMmm... sounding promising... maybe baby brain?? he, he!

Meg - Fantastic! 8 is a very good number.... plenty without too many - yay! Good Luck with the call from the scientist today and I pray that all 8 fertilise for you! Make sure you let us know how you go... very happy for you .

AFM - Well, so far so good with my eggs - yay! All 14 that fertilised have divided as required today and can be described as average to good (last cycle we lost one here). I have even had another egg that didn't fertilise yesterday pick up and now I have 15 on the go... I am very thankful that I have this many and can only continue to pray that more make it to blastie stage this time round! D day seems to be day 5 for us so still along ways to go yet... The scientist did say that we should have a good one to transfer on Saturday so I am really pleased with that! They seem pretty concerned about OHSS due to high egg numbers and keep telling me to drink lots of water and eat lots of protein. I promise I have been doing both and even having 2 glasses of sustegeon everyday!
