Hi. On my phone on the train so quickie again! Had scan. It was a ruptured cyst. The fs
Said the fluid and blood from the dissolving follicle leaked into my muscle. Very painful at the time but no lingering effects. Thank goodness! So the good news is no sign of mucus. So I start jabbing again tomorrow. This time I am starting at 450 iui of gonal f. Hope that has a better result. Feeling down however as my weight is an issue and I also found out my frostie is average being a 6 cell grade 3 embie. Also worrying I'm doing the wrong thing rushing into new cycle.
I bloody hate this
n2l - I am glad the pain was nothing serious. I hope it has eased off... I understand your anxiety with starting a new cycle so soon, but I think I would have made the same decision.
tantee - Everything crossed hun x GL with the BT x
jayjaye - GL tomorrow x I haven't been relaxing. Long day at work.....Hanging out till the weekend! Wishing you all the best xxx
Blossom - How are you doing hun xxx Thinking of you.
Sorry for such a short message. I hope you are all well.
afm - Nothing! 2 weeks until FS appointment to discuss FET. Should get a phone call tomorrow. I hope those eggs are in still in with a chance
Hi girls just a quick one... I hope you are all doing ok.
AFM no explanation given really just that they said that half vials they use over full which i think was just a excuse because the last time they didnt do that and i really believe things may have been a little bit different if we didnt do all icsi.
Nevermind the little lone embie is supposedly doing great 4 cell grade 2+ so have transfer tomorrow.
I suppose i am just a little dissapointed and shouldnt be as at least we have one but my hubbie and i where hoping for twins get it all over and done with and never have to come back to do IVF again..
I know i shouldnt be silly really and am glad to have a go with one at least, so fingers crossed see how we go, here we come 2ww as if we havent done enough waiting.
Sending you all lots of babydust and sticky vibes xx
Ooooooohhh Good luck Blossom. I hope the transfer goes well and you little fighter gets nice and comfy
It's not silly to be sad either. I think this whole TTC thing has been sad. It has, not once, gone the way I wanted it too. Never has it been me in control. That makes me sad and angry. Sometime sI forget how lucky we are - There are loads of people in worse positions, but I'm still angry at the fact we have had to go through so much. My body has been through the ringer.........I guess what I'm saying is we have the right to get upset every now and then.
So nervous about this phone call. I've been really worried about my egg quality........ Sinking into upset and anger again
I love this little 'happ dance' - . I hope I get to use it later!
I know what you mean by having no control and everything going wrong willi. As a control freak I find it extremely frustrating. I guess there is nothing to do but keep our chins up and try to be positive. Hard I know but there's nothing else we can do.
Quick question - does anyone know anything about the embryo grading system used by Melbourne IVF?
Home already, one blastie on board and looks like at this stage we might have at least two blasties to freeze which my FS said is unheard of. It still stresses me out about throwing out all those goodies just because they are not at a certain stage, but last time when i burst into tears with FS he told me if they arent at blast srage after 6 days they would probably never result in a pregnancy anyway.
I tell you, sometimes i think its an absolute miracle that people get pregnant without help at all!!!!!!!
So,the waiting begins. Will be looking for all the signs from last time (brown spotting on day 4, chills on day 4, bottom issues (sorry TMI!!!) on day 5), so by about this time next week i should be well and truly nuts! I hope some of you are joining me!!!!
Nothing2lose - i haveno idea about the grading system. Last time i asked at monash, the scientist said "they didnt do that"!!
Tantee - i have everything crossed for you today for some wonderful numbers. Bless.
Williever - hope you got some good news about your eggs???
Hi to eveyone else, hoping you are managing to maintain your sanity!
JayeJaye and blossom! Hope you get a few relaxing days before the tww crazies hit!
ntl - sorry, I don't know about melbournes system, but a couple of things that are good are little or no fragmentation, even cells, and the number is important too - 4 by day 2, 8 by day 3 - these are just averages though, I think fragmentation and evenness are more important. How is yours going?
Williever - the thing I hate most about ivf is having no control. I drive myself (and dh) nuts by trying to control everything I can, even though I know, realistically, that nothing we do will affect the outcome. Hope you get some good news today - you've had enough bad luck
Hi girls well now in the 2ww had transfer this morning, a little doped out on valium today which is a nice way to spend the afternoon relaxing.. It was a 8 cell grade 2+ so they where very happy with it and no fragmentation so fingers crossed..
Williever have you heard anything about your little embies? How are you feeling after the epu and polyp removal?
JayeJaye we are now in 2ww together, aargh! I am already sending myself nuts cant sleep at night!
NTL dont know about Melbourne IVF but QFG at Brisbane grade theres 1, 2, 3! 3 being the best quality but apparently quite rare to get?
Everyone else hope you all doing ok.
x
N2L - Glad to hear that you are feeling better and they at least know what caused it.
Williever hope you are feeling a little better today. This journey can sure take it's toll some days.
Happybaby - How are you holding out on your tww, when is your BT?
Blossum - Congrats on your smooth transfer, sending you lots of sticky vibes. I considered asking about the valium as I stress heaps at transfer but have never taken it before and not sure how it would affect me.
Jaye Jaye - How did you go today?
Melissa - How is your tww going, hope you are not going as insane as I am?
Loops, Kass, Joeve, JBM, 1moreplz and everyone else... hope you are all going ok.
AFM - Well Hcg has just over doubled from 44 to 101 in 48 hrs which is still quite low but, again, my FS called to reassure me that, although low, it is looking ok as he knows what a stress head I am (I truly try not to be!) I have to go back for another BT on Monday, by which time it will need to quadruple but at least it is heading in the right direction for now. This is the longest 2ww ever, IVF is a true lesson in patience!
tantee - It sounds good hun x Numbers moving in the right direction. I hope Monday makes you feel more confident x
jayejaye - I hope you get to go through all thsoe symptoms x
blossom - I hope your little eggie gets comfortable in there x I am still a bit sore after the op. I keep wondering when it will stop. I want it all to stop NOW so that I can have on 'on board'...........
kass - Thanks hun. You're right. I am a control freak and I kind of hate not having any control, but now I'm not in and out for BT's and scans I feel semi-normal again.
Hi everyone x
I can't believe how well they have done...Very happy. Trying to have a chilled night, but work is massive at the mo. So tired and feel we should be celebrating.
Does anyone know how long after EPU the bloatedness should ease? Still painful after op. I'm hooping that fades soon too. I want my body back in tip top shape ready for next cycle.....come on body!
Quick one again - my nips are so painful still.....I still feel weak and exhausted..........After EPU when should this end? I know I need to stop rushing my body, but I'm beginning to worry.....
Article in today's Age newspaper I thought would be of interest to other stress heads like me!!!

Stress no barrier to IVF success
Julia Medew
February 26, 2011
STRESS does not affect a woman's chance of getting pregnant with IVF, research has concluded.
Doctors from Cardiff University in Britain examined 14 studies involving 3583 infertile women undergoing fertility treatment to see if anxiety levels and depression measured before treatment were linked to the outcome of a successful pregnancy or not. No link was found between the two factors.
A report on the research published in the British Medical Journal yesterday said although many women believed emotional distress contributed to their infertility and lack of success with treatment, this review showed it was not the case. The authors also noted that it debunked the fertility myth that relaxed women conceived more easily than other women.
''This [allows] doctors to reassure women that feelings of tension, worry or depression experienced as a result of their fertility problem, its treatment, or other co-occurring life events are unlikely to further reduce their chance of pregnancy,'' the authors wrote.
However, they said more should be done to help couples through infertility treatment because it was often arduous, causing about a third of people to drop out prematurely.
A cycle of IVF typically involves nine to 12 days of self-injection to stimulate egg production, followed by retrieval of eggs, fertilisation of those eggs with sperm, and then implantation of the embryo into the woman's uterus.
According to the Fertility Society of Australia, about one in six Australian couples experience infertility and about 10,000 IVF babies are born each year in Australia.

Have they given you any explanation for why they did that without consent?
