Crafty, good on you, that's the spirit - you know perseverance pays off so keep at it and your BFP can't be far away now. How exciting to get the keys to your new house!! I hope the move goes well and the kids settle in quickly.
Sunbeam, hope you're resting up at your Mum & Dad's still and all is going well with you.
Mildez, these men can be a pain in the backside, can't they? I hope you don't have to come down and go back the same day - that's just too tiring and you need to take it easy and be as restful as you can. I hope you can get that sorted out. Once you get started things will probably fall into place for him a bit more - its all very abstract until you get things going then it makes more sense.
Porsche - good luck for tomorrow's scan - I hope you are responding super well and you can look forward to your egg pick up soon. Sounds like you have a really good chance with this cycle - fingers crossed it all goes your way.
T-hopes - oo look at your sexy avatar!! It's fun getting them, isn't it? That's great that you have a plan - so it's IUI in 2 cycles time? Is that right?? Well we can still hope for BFPs in the meantime, can't we? Your poor MIL - we had a friend who had tongue cancer but luckily they didn't have to remove it and I just remember how sick he was. Must be awful for her and very distressing for everyone in the family to see her go through that.
Ferrals, I hope this little embie is a good strong one - what an army of specialists you're going to have to deal with, that'd make anyone nervous. Sorry you are feeling bloated and sore - drink lots and lots of water - it'll help, as you probably already know and are doing! Are you feeling tired?
Saffy, glad the OCP isn't bothering you especially if you have to be on it for a few months. That's interesting that they do you all in a group - would make things much easier resource-wise I guess. Hope all stays well with you for the next stage.
Sorry to miss anyone - I know I have but I have to go to Sydney for my tax return so gotta run. All fine here - just waiting to start now. Feeling apprehensive about it all - what if it doesn't work? I so don't want to have to deal with the pain and grief of that all over again. I keep debating whether this will be our last go or not but maybe now isn't a time to make that sort of decision. In August it'll be 10 years since we started TTC and it's our Dec bub's EDD so big anniversaries coming up. Trying not to dwell on them but finding myself having moments when I feel really down and sad. Anyway, taking each day at a time and trying to stay hopeful.
Sorry for the lack of personals just thought I would update that we are now doing an antagonist cycle so will be starting as soon as AF arrives. Its a bit of a shock. Because we are under 30 the FS thought it was best to aim for fewer eggs as he feels I will be at high risk of over stimulation. OMG I start next week.
Alice - GBH to you. As you said just take one day at a time. I'm not looking forward to my EDD anniversary either and mines in November.
Thaks so much for the luck i'm really going to need it as I realised this morning I've F'd up my injections for the last 3 days! I've been injecting well nothing. I noticed the other day that it was really easy to give them to myself I didn't have to dislocate my thumb to push the top down and inject. I though oh wow it's getting easier as the vial gets used. It's been like that for 3 days.
Any way after doing my injection this morning by some chance i looked at the pen and saw that it had become unscrewed! So now I'm screwed! I'm guessing it's been like that for the past 3 freaking days! I can't believe how stupid I've been to not notice.
So out of the 5 days of jabbing I've only had 2 actual doses. 1 on day 1 and I know that worked because the nurse was instructing me and day 2 because I could feel the resistance in the dial when I injected.
I guess the FS will just up the dose tomorrow after my scan but now I'm concerned that if he does then I will definately over stim and have to cancel my cycle. So I'm guessing there will be no follicles there grrrrrr stupid stupid stupid!
Porsche-did you check how much was in the vial to make sure of the amount left and the amount that was suposed to be used and when i took mine i always make sure there is a tiny drop at the top before i jnject myself.
Mildez-good luck i found the antagonist cycle to be easy yes you get less eggs but when you have heaps of follicles like i did you can overstimm so they aim for around 8-12 then it is unlikely you will develope OHSS.
AFM- i am sssssssooooooooooooooooooooo tired am try to pop in and keep an eye on you all but not up to typing to much my eyelids are struggling.
OMG where have all my cycle buddies gone?!! Saffy, I need you!!
Mildez, that's very exciting that you can start so soon!! Fingers crossed all goes well for you!
Porsche you poor thing I've done something similar once before and was so scared I'd f'ed up the cycle but it still went ahead and we got a good (for us) result so don't worry just yet! They might just leave you on the same dose for a bit longer and scan you again Monday. Fingers crossed it all be OK. Let us know how you go tomorrow xx
Ferrals, tired is good but only if you can rest. Don't worry about persies - just nice to have you pop in and to get an update on how you're going. Hope you can put your feet up.
Ferrals & Alice thanks for the advise. We had an FS appointment this morning and I confessed my sins lol. He's upped my dose and we see him again on Tuseday. He said there was something happening in there. EPU still could be friday but he said Monday could be an option as well.
Ferrals - I can see the liquid in the vial but it didn't move so I def know that yesterdays injection didn't work. I'm going to be super careful when injecting now lol. Tired is a good sign make sure you get plenty of sleep.
Porsche glad to hear the thing didn't really have a negative effect on the cycle. I have everything crossed for you for a fab rseult at EPU and the days/weeks following.
Me me post. Now the antagonist cycle has been thrown at me lol I am worried I should be doing the original plan the long cycle. Yesterday I found out I get hit with another $1500 which isn't claimable on medicare taking the cost up to almost $10000 so thats depressing. It means even with our tax return we can't afford another cycle for at least 6months except possible FET cycles. One would hope it will work so it will never be a concern but I did want to be able to afford a 2nd cycle in a few months if needed. I think I'll be jumping clinics in that case. It ****s me of the original quote was $6500 and now its $3000 more.
Porsche, that was an early appointment! Good news too - hope all goes well for EPU next Friday. It's so easy to do! All the cycles I've done have been with a Lucrin injection to repress my FSH and then a Purgenon (sp?) FSH injection. In one cycle I stopped taking the Lucrin when I started the P. and it was only when we got to near the trigger injection that we realised what I'd done! Oh well, I didn't ovulate beforehand (so that was lucky) and the cycle went ahead. I'm sure it happens quite often. The pens are tricky - you need to do what Ferrals suggested with the drop at the beginning and double check the vial when you're done. Good luck with the rest of it and have a great weekend.
MatthewsMum - how're you doing?
AFM have been ignoring for a while a very familiar burning pain that I associate with ovarian cysts but now am getting a bit of bloating from it too so am starting to be concerned. It'd be just my luck to get one now when I'm this close to starting. FS wants to scan me again before the cycle starts anyway so suppose I'd better organise that today. Starting to freak out about not working and the cost of this cycle - guess it's just me worrying worrying worrying too much. Going to be hard to be level headed going into this one.
Your poor MIL - we had a friend who had tongue cancer but luckily they didn't have to remove it and I just remember how sick he was. Must be awful for her and very distressing for everyone in the family to see her go through that.
