Shazz,
if they really suspect overstim, they would have dragged you in for tests as overstim can be really dangerous if you're pg.
Sounds like they know a little something that you don't...
[-o<
love
sushee
Pregnyl stays in the system for around 4 days.
4 days sounds lots better
thanks Sushee - I agree about HPT - a beta would show better
maybe too much progesterone
I was told Pregnyl stimulates corpus lutem (from empty follicle) to make progesterone and if Shazz is taking crinone / pessaries and bub(s) is making a motherload too [-o< - maybe she is ....
I don't want to get your hopes up but they do say OHSS gets worse if you get pregnant - I am no expert but :crossfingers: :luck:
Does not sound like fun Shazz - but I wish I had some pg symptoms - I don't have sore (.)(.) - nothing but niggly belly and moist (sorry TMI -creamy cm) sensations -that have me running to toilet (but not to go twinkle LOL) .
I hate POAS - and I had my last Pregnyl 1500iu Sunday morning so no point .I am 11 dpo ( I think :-k ) I gave up counting cycle days.
I was told had to wait 10 days after that injection for accurate test.
So I am not touching [-(
Cazz , Sue & Blue - how are you today ?
Humphrey - are you back yet ?
Hi Shazz
I don't know enough these days to contribute about the drugs SX etc.
I just hope you're feeling better soon and that you're having all these crappy symptoms for the very best reason!!! [-o<
Sue
:flower:
I agree Sue
I wish all clinic had a protocol and standard info ](*,)
- like I read somewhere else today
:
Can I use an HPT if I had an hCG injection (such as Profasi, Pregnyl or Novarel)?
A: You can, but you should wait 7-14 days after your last injection before the shot is out of your system. If you test too soon, you might get a false positive. Wait 14 days after a 10,000 IU injection, 10 days after a 5,000 IU injection, or 7 days after a 2,500 IU injection.
but no info on combined dose of 3 x 1500iu (4500iu) :smt102
then someone ? nurse said she worked in IVF unit and it varies from person to person with 5000iu by 14days there very little residue of Pregnyl.
wow ladies you have been busy today!!
Away from the computer for half a day and i am already out of touch!
Went to chinese herbalist today they did accupuncture and gave me five bags of herbs to boil three times a day.
The herbs look nothing like i thought they would there are diffently bits of trees in there!!
I heard they taste terrible but will let you lnow tomorrow.
Lots of hugs
Racheal
racheal~ i hope they are not to terrible for you to bear
Hmmmm Racheal (my sister is a Rachael!), herbs - I'm contemplating going to a naturopath too. Maybe I'm desperate!!
ok ladies i'm off to lie down hopefully sleep till it's time to test ](*,)
Shazz - when is DR reviewing you and your unexplainable pains ?
[-o<
Racheal - sounds like you are going to brew up baby making potion - hope it tastes okay
Shazz are you still on Vitez ? can't remember how it's spelt ?
thursday i go for a scan to see what doing .... jeez can't wait
vitex - nope my ivf doc didn't approve :smt102
Hi
My apologies in advance if I don't use the right acronyms. I'm feeling a little dizzy after reading the last 10 posts!!!
I told myself this time I was going to try and stay a little ignorant about dosage etc (only because I would get too paranoid). When I was younger and on IVF I researched every damn thing and ended up driving myself and ex-hubby up the wall. Difficult not to do though, now I'm on hols I'm turning into a real computer nerd. I even just made some :smt016 business cards for my in-person IVF buddies - SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!!
I'm feeling a lot better today thanks Trish. How are you travelling?
CAUTION This maybe info overload.....
:roll:
There was no more spotting yesterday and the cramps continued last night but plateaued - thank goodness for the ole HWB (my own - Hot Water Bottle). I went to bed convinced AF would greet me this morning.
Nope, I had clear mucus (sorry can't find that acronym on the list!). That surprised me because I am on Crinone and that's the first morning that has happened. Only very mild twingy type pain. I have been constipated (nowhere near Shazz's dilemma though). Today after visiting the loo there was very faint pink spotting (sorry - now I'M TIM) I think maybe the spotting is caused by the constipation??? Who knows. I have swollen BB but they're not sore, the nipples are extremely tingly though. I'm bloated but not uncomfortably so. But then, I am sloppin' around home in the daggiest of loose clothes. Might be different if I tried to get into my work clobber.
I don't know what to make of any of it anymore. :smt102
Someone should blow 2WW's up.
Blue, Cazz how are you both? Hope you're both hangin' in there.
Sue

Hi Racheal
Sorry, they probably will taste horrible if they're like some of the herbal concoctions I've tried :boggle: But...... I don't doubt you'll perservere because it's worth it if it works!!!
Sue
:flower:
They are making the house stink!!!!!!
Hmmmmm :-k
Will I tell Racheal what it's going to do to her digestive system when they first start to kick in???
Nah..... :lol: everyone is different after all......
Hi again all!
Racheal ~ I was herbs from my naturopath for about 4 months. They tasted gross. mine came in liquid form and all I did was add 7ml to a half cup of water and I could hardly get it down and the aftertaste was excruciating. but they helped me a whole lot!!
I cant imagine having to boil them up.
Sheree~ I would seriously consider a naturopath. they will work with any medical treatment you have. are you in Vic? I could ask my naturopath for any suggestions on who you could see. She trained under Francesca Naish who wrote The Natural Way to Better Babies. My naturopath is really great and she has a special interest in fertility.
When I went to see her the first time I was ovulating very late in my cycle and only having a Luteal Phase of 9 days. turns out the late ovulation was the reason for the LP defect. She put me on some stuff(on day 4 of my cycle) and I ovulated on CD14 and had a LP of 14 days.
Brilliant work I would say as my doctor(first one) said he could not help me with that
About Vitex do not use this with any treatment like injections(IVF and injectables) or clomid. Vitex will counteract these drugs and will have the opposite effect and stop you from growing follicles or ovulating.
OHSS I have a friend she went on injectables with IUI the first time she got OHSS but was not pregnant.
The second time she got OHSS and is now pregnant with quads!
Shazz I hope you dont have OHSS. but I would be requesting they do check into whats happening with you.
Today Im feeling tired. I did not even do last nights dishes and as of 5.45pm today they are still sitting in the sink!!! :-s
Not much else going on with me. Im too scared to try a HPT so I will do one if my Beta on friday comes up posative!!! lol
Does anyone know how accurate the doctors are when they say AF should arrive in 12 days if you are not pregnant. for me that would be tomorrow???
What busy boards we have at the moment. now that I am in the swing of posting here!!
Hi All!
Phew – been busy in here today. Already page 4!
Re the bruising after blood tests etc: I got told by my friend (who is on chemo and therefore having lots of tests/injections etc) to drink lots of water before BT so they can find the vein easier. HTH
Sue – glad to hear that the witch did what she was told and hit the road jack from your place. Hopefully she’s on her way over to see Humph and Tam.
Trish – how are you? I’m on progynova too. I think it is to build up (before fET) & maintain (after FET) my endometrium. Good on you for your no POAS policy! I have much the same symptoms as you. I thought I was a little bloated but that may be from the tim tams…
Ness – thanks for the info on chocolate. Will cut down to half a tim tam per day….
Shaz – I’m with the others – go ask for a BT. Can I ask what clinic you’re with?
Shez – Sending you lots of *follicle fertiliser dust* so your follies grow big and strong.
Kelly – yup, waiting is frustrating! Hope it goes quickly for you.
As for me – I finally rang the nurses today about the pessaries and whether I should be taking them 12hrs apart or not. First rang RWH nurses – they said it doesn’t really matter. but that as I was a pte patient I should be ringing nurses at Moneymasons. As I had another q as well, I rang nurses at Moneymasons and they said yes – 12 hrs apart!! WTF!! Anyway, they said – oh have you made your appt for BT on Friday?? Whaa?? Told them that my paperwork said test was for Monday. She said it was ok to test on Friday, couple of days won’t matter! Well, excited as I am to find out sooner I am worried as I have a 1st birthday party on Saturday. I won’t be much in the mood for partying after a BFN.
Anyway, :bluestick: for all!!
Cheers,
Blue, there's no such thing as eating HALF a Tim Tam. :oops: I was so crappy yesterday I ate 6 mint slice bikkies. BAD BAD BAD.
I take my hat off to you for waiting til Monday if they say you can go Friday. My clinic says I definitely have to wait until Monday groan...
But, yep, you're right. Kids' birthday parties can be hard enough. On the other hand, you'll probably get a BFP and be over the moon!!!!!
Sue
:flower:
Gosh lots of potential excitement on here today. Will be refreshing madly for updates the next few days!
Just wondering what clinics everyone is at (if willing to say) - I am at Melbourne Assisted Coneption Centre, and haven't come across many fellow patients on the net at all. I think this is because they only do GIFT and AIH (I think theyre a catholic hospital based or something) - but my Dr works both there and at Monash IVF.
I am at MIVF under Kate Stern.
lomg way to go from berwick but she has been worth it so far. great doctor!!!
Cazz
me ~ queensland fertility group :doc: doc Esler
Hi Kelly
Hope you're going ok.
I'm with IVF Australia (North Shore - Central Coast clinic). I, too, would like to find anyone else out there who is with them?
Sue
:flower:
Whats your commute like Cazz? I am in Melb west and commute 35-65mins (depending on traffic) each way, to Heidelberg.
I ahve often wondered if I should have gone with MIVF as they have a clinic closer to home, but went with a Dr recommendation. Hes great too (Dr Talbot), but its so far! I am really not used to such travel, I am still a country girl really!
PS Shazz, I had a few net friends who had success at your clinic!
goodie
success is always good to hear to about
OMG guys - I am SO far behind! Im away for just a few days and BAM I feel like Ive been gone for months!
I have no chance of doing personals at the moment, am having trouble getting on the net at the moment but will do my damndest to be on more often... hope y'all going well and hoping desperately for a stack of BFPs very very soon.... [-o<
Hi Keen! Good to hear your voice/see your typing...YKWIM
Kelly - is your clinic at the Mercy?
I'm at MIVF under Dr McBain.
I'm with QFG too Shazz!! Thamks evryone for the follicle dust remember I'm doing AI so don't want tooooooo many!!
Love to all.
Luck to all in TWW
Hi everyone
Can't sleep so thought I'd get up and send happy thoughts and :bdust: :pdust: out to you all. Drag myself out of bed at 6am when I'm working - bounce out of bed at 5.30 when on hols. ](*,)
Trish - are you ok? Did you end up starting your PowerPoint pics? I've done a title page...
Blue - enjoy the other HALF of that tim tam. Hmmmm. Are you going to bring your BT forward to Friday? I've decided 4 x shortbread creams = 1 mint slice, so 2 shortbread creams = no problems.
Shazz - hope you get through today without too much pain or discomfort. Sleeping 'til tomorrow sounds like a plan to me.
Racheal - how's your potion going down? You'll be amazed at how well you feel once it kicks in.
Shez - keep nurturing those follies.
Kelly - yep, the travelling can be a drag. I hated the travel down to Sydney from the coast before we became civilised and got clinics here.
Tam & Humphrey - :crossfingers: that you're both well and truly bonding with the witch. Keep her to yourself please.
There are so many of you girls, I've lost track. Good luck to all of you and have a great day.
Sue

morning sue, i can't sleep either i have been on holidays for 4 weeks nows another 2 to go and i am still getting up in time to get to work ](*,) how are you feeling ? i had a better night last night thanks goodness still had to get up 1 for a wee walk 8-[ another day gone on the count down
Shezz ~ i hope you have 2 to 3 beautiful looking follies that are just perfect good luck to you sweet when do you think you will be going in
I'm fine Shazz. Last couple of days have been pretty much the same. Wish the abdo pain that comes and goes would go though. I got up for my usual wee walk, that's when it was 5.30 instead of the normal 3am so got up.
Yep, 13DPO for me, Beta Monday... When's yours? I think I need to do a spreadsheet. OMIGOD, I really do think I'm at work.
Sue
sue ~i 'm 14 dpo today [-o< the clinic gave me a hpt and said to do it friday 8-[ heres hoping for a perfect run and all the ttwer's get the bfp :)
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it's ok if I join you guys? I popped my head in here a couple of months ago when I was about to start my IUI's but then decided I would be big and tuff and go it on my own.
Well I am now about to start on my third IUI (day 10 scan tomorrow) and still nothing so I thought I better come back in and have a chat.
I hope it's ok if I join in.
:wave: Gillian welcome you will find everyone here is very nice and supportive, good luck with your scan tommorrow
Hi Gillian and welcome
I'm a newby in this forum too - only been here a week.

Chat with us!
Sue

Blue , yup MACC is at Mercy.
Welcome Gillian!
Feeling positive vibes for you Shazz!
Morning all
14DPO today feeling a bit funny. have this AF style backache so I am hoping that she does not show!!! BT on friday at 10am. Anyone know how long it takes to get results back???
tossing up between going out party clothes shopping or not moving from my bed all day lol. I know if AF is going to come then she'll come no matter what
Kelly ~ if I leave here at 5.45am I can be at hospital at 6.30am
any later than that It takes forever to get through on the M1 and through citylink!!!
I hate having to travel that far but what can I do!!
Welcome back Gillian. good luck with your IUI
Hi Keen!! hope all is well with you.
Where has everyone else gone?
Cazz
