Thanks Kerbear, you're a real sweetie I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the cycle When I did my first cycle 3 and a half years ago I was on gonal F 225. That almost made me have OHSS as I blew up a like a fish. I'm only guessing a dosage of 450 is reasonably high, and maybe that's why you're feeling uncomfortable? I would have thought with the bloods they would be able to pick up any signs of over stimulation???? Could you speak to your FS or your nurse? I can understand the fear of them doing more invasive things to your poor wee body. Hope you're feeling better soon and good to go for your EPU next week
Well done everyone on your individual progress, and I will be stalking you quietly still. The belly thread is pretty quiet ATM, can't wait till you guys come across!
Thanks MissB - after todays scan I don't think there is a problem with OHSS I think my body just doesn't like being messed with.
Had another scan this morning and follicles arent growing much which is not good, another scan on Sunday. We could be looking at a really long cycle or another cancellation.
I am so over disappointment, I said to DH it's like one of those rides where you want to get off cause it's not fun but you wanted to finish it successfully as well.
One minute I can't get enough follicles not I have a few more and I can't get them to grow, I feel like such a failure, I just want my body to play the game and stop making this such a hard thing to go through. Its hard enough to have to be doing IVF without feeling like you are banging your head into a wall every day
Needless to say having a really bad day, DH reminds me not to give up cause its not cancelled yet but I don't hold much hope, it's easier to think its not going to work then u don't get so disappointed
Another big from me kerbear. So sorry you feel so crap. It's just not fair.
hopefully you have something to feel good about soon. It's just crap when body does not behave
Kerbear, it's really not fair when you have to put your body through so much and it's not responding the way it should be. Hopefully they can do something to make the follies grow, but without putting you through any more torture! Big hugs hunni, hang in there

Kerbear - I am so sorry hunni, that your not progressing as well as you had hoped. Let the tears come, feel the frustration and when your done crying, summon the strength to keep going. Its all we can do, unfortunately. Sometime a really good hard cry is all we need to release the pressure and frustrations. No one ever tells you about how hard it is. Its always, ooh, you have to inject yourself. Big woop. Thats nothing compared to the emotional side of things. Its the soaring highs and the sad, sad lows. Having said that, its not done until they have to cancel you again. So we will all be here for you, that between now and Sunday they grow with all their mights. Rant away in here, its what we are all here for xxx
Saffy- Good luck again with your transfer today. Its always the best stage I think. Walking out of the clinic/ hospital, knowing you have live embies in you. The following TWW will drive you insane soon enough, enjoy the buzz of being PUPO!!
Janie - I guess we dont need to tell you that we are all that you have great news tomorrow. We are all here for you either way.
Myturn - I didn't forget about you I know your still driving yourself crazy lol. I am all good here. Really hungry, but thats about all the side effects yet. Still, only jabbed 3 times. Busy trying to book accommodation in Adelaide. Decided to take your advice and try to hire a car and hopefully stay one less night to cover the cost. It would be much easier with a car.
Mia - Good luck jabbing. Its fun to start a new cycle. Its definately a hopeful stage.
RhiChiChi - 7 good size follies is a good result. Well done!
Big Hi to everyone else.
AFM - Still not much going on. Just jabbing away...trying not to eat everything in sight...I didn't get this hungry last time. Maybe because they upped my meds. I think its more emotional eating more than the meds. Silly as I am supposed to loose weight to help conception
Janie we are all here for you I hope you're the next BFP!
Vic - I feel the same way re eating, maybe its all the meds! OR maybe its that d@mn lolly machine at work calling me!
AFM - 1st jab down 2nd one tonight. I think I hit a little vessel cos it bled a little and it hurts. Not sure if its cos its quite a bit of puregon I have to inject 300?? Anyone else on that dose??
Just wondering if when you ladies experienced your EC did any of the ladies in the waiting room chat to each other or was it every women for herself? My nurse said to bring a book cos most girls dont chat but they do look at each others hands afterwards to see what each got re eggies! Just wondering for when its my turn which should hopefully be in another week and a half (around the 20th)
mia- last time I was on 375 of puregon, I'm sure you'll be fne with 300. In my experience, everyone ignores each other and pretends they are not there, I have never had a conversation with anyone else I think. I tried to smile at a girl in the waiting room after i came out of my transfer- she has an epu the same day as me- but she gave me nothing, so its every woman for herself obviously!!
kerbear- nothing I can say to you- it just plain sucks you poor thing
vic- put that chocolate down! (only joking mate) whatever it takes to get through the cycle, don't stress.
sorry thats all the persies I can manage, good luck to everyone else
afm- officially pupo now so will meander into the tww thread. Feeling really flat, the transfer was a bit of a saga, it was postponed twice timewise, so as I was an hour from home, I had to wait around for ages , lucky i brought a book, Also had to empty and refill my bladder 3 times!!! By the end I was bursting and lying on the bed still waiting for the FS for another 20mins trying not to wet myself, I was so over it by that point I just wanted to get up and leave or burst into tears or both. Emby-wise, a good quality day 2, the photo was a 2 cell but they said it had since divided which was good apprently, the others not so good, one was abnormal ( too many chromosomes or something) and the other ok, they are waiting to see if it gets to day5 to freeze, otherwise I am looking at another stim cycle if this doesn't work.
Sorry for the essay, I just feel really depressed and had to come home to inject myself with clexane and pregnyl, both of which hurt
On that depressing note I will see most of you in the tww thread soon hopefully!
Saffy SO sorry to hear your experience was delayed and not pleasant at all, I hope though that the little embie is now comfy and growing
I thought it would be the case re no one talking but I wonder why? We're all in the same boat, I guess I'll be very nervous on the day aswell and who knows what my feeling will be or if I'd be up for a chat but I'd be too embarrassed to start a convo unless someone else did and maybe thats the issue, as in everyone waits for someone else?! Either way I'll be like you and bring a book along.
Again sorry to hear about today but look after yourself and take it easy ok
Saffy - Sorry to hear about the delays today, I hope you are feeling ok and are taking it easy
Kerbear - I hope you are doing ok sending you hugs!
Mia – I hope your jabbing gets easier, when I start my injections I will be on 300 as well.
MissB – I hope you a travelling along well, it's nice to see you pop in every now & then!
Kashby – I hope you are ok & are recovering ok. It was nice to hear DH was looking after you, they can be so sweet
Strawberry55 – Welcome the lovely ladies in here are very helpful, I haven't been on here for very long but I did read the thread for awhile before joining in & have seen that you will get alot of support here
Janie71, Blossom73, Missren, Amy_jellybean, Keta & Myturn - I hope you are all coping with the tww, I have my fingers crossed for you all.
AFM - I started Synarel on Monday, YUCK is all I can say! Thanks for the tips on having a drink on hand. I have a blood test on the 16th & then will find out when to start the injections (not too keen on that but, hey, if I can cope with sniffing something, I will learn to cope with the jabs!)
Hello to anyone I have missed I hope you are all going well!
Planetsasha - i know what you mean re yuk synorel. I was lucky to get the drink tip aswell so i always have something onhand. Glad to hear im not the only one on 300 puregon you arent too far behind me. I dont have a bt until nect week tho, wonder why you get one prior to starting the injections?? I guess every fc is different. Where are you gettin treated?
Mia - I was on 250 of Puregon each day. I go to a very busy clinic and most people dont talk in the waiting room. I've spoken to about 2 women in the whole time we have been there. My clinic dont write your eggs on your hand, you have to ask the nurse how many you got
Kerbear - You poor love, we are all hear for you to vent
Vic - Im eating myself out of house and home here as well, just got back from the shops and realised that I bought $85 worth of crap!!! Eat away, its one of the only things we have control over at the moment
Saffy - Sorry you didnt have a good run today honey Sometimes I really wonder whether the people that work at the clinic really understand how sh**ty we already feel. On the upside, yay for being PUPO Looking forward to having you over in the TWW thread with us xxx
Kashby - Good to hear your DH is taking good care of you!
Blossom - So sorry to hear about you BFN honey So unfair!
Planet Sasha - Syneral is horrible stuff isnt it?! I was on it last time but thankfully this cycle they didnt make me have it. I always thought I would really struggle with the needles but I guess you just do what you have to do when the time comes.
Hi to everyone else, hope you are all travelling ok out there?
AFM - Dropped DH at the airport today to go back to work. Bought my self a nice exxy piece of steak for dinner The only thing missing is a glass of nice wine!!! Going to lay on the lounge tonight and watch tele and do nothing. I treated myself to a nice pedicure today. I have had a few crampy feelings in my tummy today, 6 days until BT
Mia01 - It does seem I will be running along just behind you The nurse mentioned it was just to check the Synarel had done it's job (at least I think that's what he said). I have to be treated for elevated NK cells so I also need to take some tablets and intralipids (just for something different I am being treated and Monash IVF Clayton. Where are you?
Thanks ladies you are all lovely and are a great support for me. I am glad you all don't mind the venting and rambling, it's the only place to get things out of my system.
I am trying to be positive but I keep telling my little kittens that they are my babies and might always be the only ones, when they meow back and talk to me it makes me feel so much better :-)
Thanks n2l I am so hoping they do, they haven't been growing that much so far but I am hoping for a growth spurt :-)
How are you doing, I often think about you and hope you are doing ok.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the cycle 
When I did my first cycle 3 and a half years ago I was on gonal F 225. That almost made me have OHSS as I blew up a like a fish. I'm only guessing a dosage of 450 is reasonably high, and maybe that's why you're feeling uncomfortable? I would have thought with the bloods they would be able to pick up any signs of over stimulation???? Could you speak to your FS or your nurse? I can understand the fear of them doing more invasive things to your poor wee body. Hope you're feeling better soon and good to go for your EPU next week 
and 
to all 
that between now and Sunday they grow with all their mights. Rant away in here, its what we are all here for xxx
