LT TTC & Assissted Conception Mar-Apr 2010

[mum-2-be]

One question: I've read that taking the Gonal out of the fridge a 1/2 hour before injecting lessens the pain, but DH in his infinite wisdom believes that would be bad for it if I keep taking it out every morning. Your thoughts? I'm guessing if he really feels that strongly, then I'll just use Emla cream and an ice brick ;-)

CK77 - I'm not sure about leaving it out (although I think it is always supposed to be below a certain temperature) - I took mine out of the fringe and did it straight way - BUT, I didn't find the Gonal injections hurt really at all. I only felt the sensation of putting the little needle in - nothing else. So maybe try it the first time straight out of the fridge - you may be surprised at how little you feel (hopefully)!!

Hey girls!

Glad to see everyone is holding up and not going tooo crazy

Loops, I woke up this morning at the crack of dawn this morning and was hit with a thunderbolt of a thought. I remembered something that happened to a girl I knew back in NZ. She had the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS as you after a cycle and guess what it turned out to be? She had an ectopic pregnancy AND one in the womb! YES, it is possible!!! I am not sure how many embies you had put in but she had 2 and one implanted in the right place and the other was sucked into the the tube and implanted there. She had the bleeding and some pain in her shoulder and they thought it was all over. At her scan they discovered an egg sack and thought all was well. The bleeding continued and they ended up giving her a laposcropy (sp?) because they she had some other thing and thats when they discovered the ectopic. They were able to remove that and she went on to have a normal pregnancy with the other bub.

Just a thought but you never know! I am thinking of you and am getting cramps from having everything crossed so tight.

Big hugs,

Sammie

Hi ladies

JBM ~ thanks hun! Im not going to crazy now im trying to just get on with normal life at the moment because that is all I can do and just wait. Thanks for your thoughts.

Melissa ~ thank you, yep it has been ages now. I look back on everything that has happened to me and think woh. It'll be pretty hard to take in a way if this ends up being BFN - because of all we have been through. But at the same time I'll be able to look ahead and get on with normal life lol.

CK ~ and all the best for your first IVF. Hope it works first go!! Those follies are good - Ive had about the same each time and ive had 6 fertilise. Are you having a 2, 3 or 5day transfer?

Sammie ~ thanks hun. Yeh other people have suggested could it have been multiple pregnancy. I only had the one transferred. DH jokes and says perhaps they put them all back.
Im assuming you can still get twins if you only put 1 back? There was no-sign of ectopic at all but I guess it could probably still go under the radar, I hope not. I dont feel I have ectopic anymore Feeling a lot better and calmer now. Just have to wait and see.

Thanks everyone for getting sore fingers for us lol! Means a lot!

HI Ladies,
Sorry am still not really up to writing persies, have had a lot of nausea which we think (hope) is from the antibiotics. Had transfer on Saturday of an AA Blasty however it got stuck in the catheter and had to be attempted a second time which has kind of freaked me out as that can't be good for the embryo.

Miss K - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
Loops - I hope this gets resolved very soon for you!

Hi to all you other lovely ladies and apologies again for not being able to write much.

CK, thanks for that. The bleeding finally eased up a little yesterday and more today. It's good to know that's normal.

Trubabe, I'm praying that your mum's op goes well and your lap too. And I hope your DD's check up goes well. Wow, so many medical challenges to face.

Loops, any news yet?

Afm, just a little pain now, but I'm still finding sitting in a chair for too long is unpleasant so I decided not to go to work today (desk job). Other than that I feel pretty much back to normal which is good.

Trubabe ~ I hope everything turns out ok with all the medical stuff - you are going through a lot and I really feel for you GL for the lap, really hope they can clear it up and you can get that BFP very soon.

Lairdoz ~ thanks hun. Not sure if the embryo can be damaged, I wouldnt think so though. Did the FS say anything about it? I can understand you being worried and so Im thinking of you - big hugs xo
I will have everything crossed for you and Rest up and take it easy. AA blasty sounds pretty good.

Juniper ~ Im glad your pain has almost gone and you can get back to normal life stuff. FX you get a BFP very soon.
Havent heard the official results yet still. I did a clearblue digital Sat though and it came up "Pregnant" within under a min so I guess that is good. Hopefully will have another BT this week. Thanks for asking

Hi to everyone else and wishing you all the best wherever you are up to. xo

Juniper, DD is blind in her right eye from a congenital cateract that was only picked up when she was 8 and a half and other accompanying vision problems as a result. october 08 she had the cataract removed and an artificial lens implanted, though it didnt improve her vision at all.she now has clouding of the artificial lens and needs it to be cleared by laser but again it wont improve vision it just stops it causing more problems as the clouding acts like a cataract.this is her 6 monthly check up and for us to give the dr the go ahead to put her on the list for the laser capsulotomy
