    left or right!?

    Hi Lullaby!

    "One thing i dont get it, The nurse that did my U/S told me i have 1 20mm follie in my Left ovary, with nothing in my right. I only produced 1 follie. Is this normall under Puregon treatment? I always thought the drugs would stimulate more.

    Then todays nurse told me it was a follie in my Right Ovary..strange. "


    You know, our FS teams aren't infallible. When my guy did the hysterosalpingogram in my investigations, I always thought he got the results backwards. Ie - dye spilled freely from the left tube not the right as he noted. And he lost the actual picture so the dispute could never be resolved.

    The main thing is, you've got one follicle, and if it implants, when they do your seven week scan, there'll be a corpus luteum on whichever ovary produced the egg, which will then prove which side it came from.

    :-)

    TWW

    Hi Ladies
    Looks like I am going to be in TWW sooner than I thought. I had thought I was coming on to ovulate as I had a lot of *cough* mucus and I was right. My U/S today showed that I was just about to ovulate so its another 2 hr drive back tomorrow to have the IUI done. Im very excited. The U/S showed 3 big follies (sorry can't remember size but nurse was very happy), 1 on the right and 2 on the left I think it was and 2 smaller ones that wouldnt catch up. I have a good feeling about this. We've also just bought a house so I am hoping that was the start of positive things to come.
    Thanks for all your spport in here and good luck, hope we all get there this year, sooner than later.

    Hey my fellow IUI buddies.......
    I had my DAY 11 scan today which showed at least two good follies (one on each ovary), but it also showed some fluid up around the top of one ovary........any clues as to what that fluid is and why it would be there? FS didnt seem fazed by it - but i dont think anything would faze him either.
    I remember i had fluid show up on a scan is a similar spot(to confirm a miscarriage) months ago.
    Hope someone can help!

    Threatened changes to the Safety Net

    I'm horrified this morning to read this story in the Daily Telegraph:

    Baby bills up $2000 as Medicare Safety Net cut | The Daily Telegraph

    If the Government reduces the safety net percentage for fertility treatment and pregnancy related medical rebates, firstly it is a direct discrimination against women. Secondly, it will directly impact the demand for services in public hospitals. The Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick has already indicated it has more bookings for births this year than it is equipped and funded to handle. New mothers are being sent home as early as four hours after giving birth as a result. Next door at Prince of Wales Private, they are shuffled off to a local hotel! All in the name of saving money and keeping beds available. We urgently need to repopulate to replace the tax payers who are retiring. Population begins with conception and birth. This, at least, is one fundamental truth that the Howard Government understood.
