Wow... such a mixed bag of emotions in here at the moment...
Congrats to Loops and Trishy - both with FANTASTIC numbers - fingers crossed we have some GREAT fertilisation rates too!
Nicoleh & Springlola - HUGE HUGS.
Nicoleh - I had a rough cycle last time and I was stimming for 4 or so weeks. I was a complete wreck emotionally... if they're still too small - that still means they're growing - mine literally sprung up overnight and I literally went from "maybe one or 2 eggs at most..." to 8 eggletts.
HELLO to everyone else... I absolutely cannot keep up in here at the moment!!!
AFM - Triggered about 30 mins ago for an 8:50am pickup on Friday morning. Had to go in for bloods this morning - to check my e levels... I have REALLY bad veins, and she tried both arms and ended up DIGGING in one arm whilst getting me to pump my fist so she could get a trickle of blood to test. NOT FUN. have a HUGE bruise on the inside of my arm - she wrapped it tight in bandages - so she knew it was gonna happen!!!
Oh God... I am trying so hard to not get too caught up in the hope/emotion/excitement of this cycle... but I couldnt help but check my estimated due data based on Friday's fertilisation... July 7th. Oh God. I hope it happens.
fatslimgirl - great to hear you are getting your EPU Friday, obviously your increase in meds helped. Are you sure we are not related cos if I do not go and get my blood taken at one collection centre I have the same problem as you (hard to believe only one centre in Bris can get blood from me easily) last time I went to the one where my FS is and I was there ages as she had sseveral goes and dug into my arms etc.. and she could not get a drop.
loops & trishy so glad to hear your epu went well, was wondering about you both today. Great numbers and I hope fertilastion goes well for you both
springlola I know what you mean about not being cut out for this, I am feeling the same
guess I have no other choice than to wait for Fridays scan and keep my fingers crossed
Feeling better, scraped myself off the floor and told myself this is it, can't change it, can't control it, so get on with it
nicoleh hope Fridays scan gives you all the eggs you need..I dont think anyone is cut out for this..but this is the hand we've been delt. But rest assured you deserve a little miracle as much as the next person, press on Chicken, your almost there...
Loops & Trishy they are great numbers..keep us updated..
fatgirlslim Good luck for EPU tomorrow...excitement
frugal thanks for your kind words..not sure I'm ready to shave my head yet but hey maybe next week LOL..pity it didnt work out for you and the dog, I think I'd be even more mental without my animals to love. Sorry you had a bad day...
SaffyAh Saffy...what would I do..thanks for that, really needed..I guess the part I'm struggling with , is I can't see me with a baby..dunno if anyone else gets that. wonder if I'm just pushing **** up hill, sending myself round the bend.
Still can't believe you get out of sniffing this cycle...how ripped off am I LOL
Sorry to anyone I've missed and thanks again for the hugs...nice to know that there are like minded kind people out there, just wish is was under differant circumstances...decided I'm going to grap one of the ponies from the back paddock to show..give me a distraction while all this stuff is going on..
Meybe its sunshine we all need..big dose of Vitamin D
Just wondering if I can join in here - I've been posting in the LTTC after MC or Loss thread for a while. We have just got to the end of the most torturous tww I can remember, only to get a BFN I'm so devastated, it never seems to get any easier to accept, even after all these years. I really thought we might have a good chance this time but after a debacle of an egg pickup that left me in hospital for two days with bleeding, seems our good chance went out the window. We do have one grade 2 embie that was frozen on day 6 (it got to expanding blastie stage) but just don't know when/if we can go there. Sorry for the me post, feeling very down. Just wondering how much longer I can do this - it's been ten long years and family and friends think we should just give up, that it's too upsetting, but the longing just doesn't go away. I just watched Tears and Hope for the first time and it summed it up so well. Not sure i have the courage to send it to family and friends for fear that they think we're feeling sorry for ourselves. I know I'll get through this and I know I'll find joy in the good things we have in our lives again but for now it just all feels too hard. Thanks for listening. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. Alice x
PS Hi to Saffy and Loops, it's nice to see some familiar names in here. Loops, congratulations on your EPU that's a great # of eggs and I hope you get a great fertilisation report today. Saffy, hope your weekend away is lovely x
PPS Sorry, don't know where else to post, post-IVF, with no plans for another try for now, you are all mostly cycling so not sure if this is the right place after all...

Well this morning I got the call from the nurse and was pretty disappointed with the results although I shouldn't complain because we still have some - out of the 15 though we only got 7, oh and one that they are not sure about but said dont hold out for that one because usually they dont catch up. Its one more than we got last cycle though and hopefully being an antagonist cycle will be better quality too - have to hold onto hope anyway. Transfer is on Sunday so 4 day transfer and hopefully we will be putting two back.
fatgirlslim and ehm ~ good luck tomorrow - will be thinking of you with
Trishy - hope you got really great fertilisation results! FX they grow nicely over next couple of days!
Nicolah ~ good luck tomorrow with the scan. FX for great results!!
Frugal ~ hope things are going better for you now - hugs and goodluck hun
Alice ~ welcome back - sorry it couldnt be under better circumstances. Feel free to stay in here as we've all been going through similar journeys and can probably still provide support to oneanother - ive certainly liked chatting to everyone in here and lovin the support and encouragement xo Take care for now and I hope you can have another go fairly soon - I know how hard it all is though particularly after a few BFN's, its def been taking a toll on me. Its hard to think about what we will do next if this doesnt work - very tough decisions ahead if thats the case.
SpringLola, Saffy, Terry, Kaybee, Kass, Nightwalker, Kristine ~ hi and hope you are all doing well, and to anyone I may have missed. Sending out lots of to all!! Thanks again for all the support and encouragement xoxo
Loops- sorry you are disappointed, I hope the embies that fertilised are big strong healthy ones that will go all the way ( thats if you want 7 kids lol). Best of luck for Sunday with your transfer xx
Alice- hi gorgeous, you are more than welcome to post in here, lots of people (ie me) hang around even when they are between cycles, waiting for cycles etc, so post away the more the merrier ( maybe not merry but you know...)xxx
Springlola- I must be sniffing in sympathy as I have had hayfever or allergies for the past few days. Don't worry when I am injecting myself 2 or 3 times a day you will get the last laugh hehe! We are nearly there, in 2 weeks time we will be seeing big juicy follies on the ultrasound screen, what time is yours? I think mine is 8.45.
Nicoleh- good luck for scan today
Fatgirlslim and Ehm- for EPU
Hi everyone else I missed ( too many to count) babydust to all xxx
