Blossom- thats no good, , not really sure, why do they want you to go to day6? I would transfer sooner rather than later and will they let you transfer 2? Or don't they transfer grade 1's? I haven't got much experience with this siuation sorry, but feel free to vent and rage here, we will be here holding your hand babe xx Stupid ivf grrr
Hi everyone else, counting down the hours til my first injection!
Janie good luck for ET tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.
Blossum – thinking of you – so hard to know what the right thing to do is – I don’t have any clue re what to do but am thinking of you - really hope that your little embies keep growing and that ET goes well.
Mia – sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with that nurse – she sounds darn right rude – like she doesn’t know that this is hard enough without someone taking the time to answer our questions. Hope you are feeling more confident about things now. The instruction booklet that comes with the meds is also good for a little refresher.
My turn – that is awesome news about your follies – wont be long now til your trigger. How exciting.
Kerbear – I hope you are resting up. How is your tummy feeling today? Oh and thanks for your super sweet post the other day. Made me smile.
Bee – Sounds like your family has got some great news recently. Hope that translates to a bub soon too.
Miss B – I imagine I will be like you and POAS all the time. Hehehe. I don’t know it would be nice to find out you are pregnant the same way everyone else does, by POAS at home, rather than a phone call from a nurse whilst we are at work. I’m day 5 transfer (fingers crossed anyway)
To everyone else, much love. Hope you are all taking good care of yourself.
AFM – EPU was on Wed and now today I’m feeling awful. The bleeding has all stopped buT I’m bloated and have sharp stabbing pains. Not sure if it is normal to feel this way. So very scared that it might be a sign of OHSS. Any advice ladies – I’m so confused. I also started crinone this morning – that stuff is grose. Anyways on a brighter note I am expecting an update from the lab tomorrow to hear how my embies are growing. Crossing absolutely everything that they are doing well.
Thanks girls been a horrible time! Just heading back from transfer
only had one but they still said not holding much hope as it is growing really slowly
only 7 cell and should be a morula at day 4!
Anyway fingers crossed!
Hope u all having a nice weekend x
Couldn't update last night because the site was down :-(
Jane - Sorry to hear you are feeling crappy. I have always been told that to help with OHSS eat a high protein diet and drink lots and lots of water. Some of the other girls on here that have had it might be able to give you a better idea though.
Saffy - Yay for starting injections, I bet you cant wait to get started again!
Janie - Hope your transfer went well and yay for being pupo!!!!
Blossom - So sorry to hear about your little embies! I would be going for the 2 days transfer as well but your best to ask your FS and embryologist - they should be able to give you the best info.
Hi to everyone else, will do more persies when I get home but im at work at the moment!
AFM: Had blood test and ultrasound yesterday. Oestrogen is 2200. On my right ovary I had 6 follicles all between 13-15mm and about 4 smaller ones that were about 9-11mm. On the left ovary I have about 4 follies all around 11-14mm. FS was very happy with this. Going for another blood test tomorrow and guessing that I will trigger on Monday night for a wed pick up Yay!!!!!!!
Just a quick post, back later for persies. I am now PUPO. Have a beautiful day 2, 7 cell embie on board. Very happy, my DD was about the same when transferred. And the other great thing is they only had to defrost one, so I still have 4 on ice.
Jane - Sorry to hear you are not feeling well I hope you feel better soon, I'm hoping I dont have too many side affects with the synorel but knowing my luck and the fact that I get migranes pretty easily I'll prob be in the same boat as you only with headaches rather then tummy trouble. Get well soon xo
Saffy - with starting your injections again, I cant wait. Obviously not for the jab but its another BIG step closer to transfer
Janie - for your transfer OOPS just saw your post YAY sounds like you got a good one! Hey can I ask a silly q, whats pupo? Also did they make you lie there for awhile after the transfer or is it "done ok you can go home now" ????
Blossom - So sorry to hear about your little embies Sorry I cant offer any advice cos I have never done this before but I'm here and send you lots of
Amy JB - Good stuff!!! Sounds like a great result!!
AFM - 2 days left and I start synorel. Hoping I get the quick pump action correct so I dont have to think "do I need to do this again?!" Read the pamphlet that came with the nasal spray which says to tilt head forward then spray quick and then tilt head back, seems easy enough but I have a feeling it will take practice LOL Still deciding what time I should do the sprays.
6am then 6pm would be good during the week but waking up at 6am on sat and sunday to do this would be HELL! Sorry I love my weekend sleep ins LOL Ahhh well its for a greater cause right?!
All the best to all you ladies and anyone I've missed xox
Mia, PUPO =Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise at my clinic they pretty much do the transfer and say, off you go! But I think all clinics can be a bit different. Don't worry you will be an old hand before you know it with all the spraying, jabbing etc.
My turn, I had that really good feeling also with the cycle I fell pregnant on with my DD. I'm feeling much the same this time.
Amy, everything sounds really great. Hoping EPU is on Wednesday for you.
Blossom hope your embies catch up.
Saffy good luck with your first jab.
Hi to Vic, N2L and everyone else.
Well feeling all good here. BT is on Friday 10 Feb, start pessaries tonight just as a precaution as my lining was a little thin before ovulation. Hopefully it would have caught up any how.
sorry for my absence lately. Have been reading but not posting cause i was hoping to have some exciting news to share.
But alas.... We went for BT and US on friday to be told that my follicles are plenty but too small (which is what happened last time). On my R side have 25+ but no bigger than 10mm and my L side I only have about 10 but again all under 10mm.
So have to go for repeat BT and US on monday to see if they have grown. If I goes well, which I am desperate for!!!, the earliest EPU will be would be wednesday.
will keep you all posted, cant do persies as on my way out (to drown my sorrows and N2L will prob even have a smoke xxx)
Was trying to reply yesterday but apparently the server was down.
Blossom, I'm keeping everything crossed very tightly for you hun, and for your embie. I hope your embie continues to do well and thrive in the best place possible, your uterus! Congrats on being PUPO!!!!! Try not too stress too much hun, I know it's so hard not too.
Myturn, great follie numbers hun, keep it up hun!!
Mia, gosh that was a very rude nurse! Not long for you to go now before the nasal spray begins
Vic, I'd say it would depend on how your body is at the time of considering another stim cycle itms. I talked to my hubby and he doesn't think he could be up to another stab in the ball. He reckons he'll be ok in a few weeks???????? WTF? Hey dude, you're copping one needle, I'm coping heaps! Anyway, if this cycle is not good, I don't think I'll get in to see my FS in time to do another stim cycle straight away. So if it doesn't work, we'll be doing a cycle in March.
Kerbear, how are you feeling now hun?
Amy, you're going great guns hun!
Janie, congrats on being PUPO!!! How exciting hun. Keeping everything crossed for you and your embie now, I hope it burrows nice and deep in your lining
Jane, your embies are doing wonderfully!! GL on Monday morning, I'll be thinking of you
Liseyt, keep growing embies! I'm sending them big 'grow nicely' vibes
N2L, how are you going gorgeous lady?
Hello to anyone I missed
AFM, not much to report. Funny story....I went over to my neighbour to lend her something and she says to me "are you pg?". Poor love, you should have seen the look on her face when I said I was just bloated I ended up telling her we're trying again with IVF, so she didn't feel that bad, hehehe. So yes, still bloated, really tempted to pee on the stick again............I know I shouldn't but I can't wait till Wednesday! What else am I supposed to do when I'm bored????? I really don't have any symptoms except the ones related to the crinone gel.
Vic am the same CD as Saffy if that helps! AM hoping for short and sweet too...not long till your appointment, how's the excitment management going?!?!
Mia - Synarel is yuck, you are no doubt well supported by many of us in the worry of getting it right first squirt GL with it!
MissB & Amy - is the bloating OHSS symptomatic? What can you do about it? Amy, it sounds really horrible...pain to sit! Hopefully not much longer to wait for you both.
MisRen - I was totally scared on both ET's to date (and my second one was long & horribly painful due to "pathetically skilled ET specialist"). I like to think the fear helps pump the hormones through the system though and is probably good to have.
Everyone else - what can be said!! Hope the time passess postively quickly for you all xx
AFM - tomorrow morning is the first Orgalutran injection. Am scared of it hurting, silly i know but the nurse said it's just like the HcG and i'll be fine, but my memory of the HcG was that it stung and the pain lasted for some time afterward. I hope the nurse is wrong, cause the HcG was the one off, not everyday like the Org is going to be...the BT Tues and US Thurs when they'll let me know how the follies are going!
Missb - Thanks so much for your advice there & I hope the rest of your tww goes so fast with a huge giant BFP. I imagine no matter how many times you go through it it never gets any easier. I'm so glad you proved people wrong on your 1st cycle. I truly hope I can do the same.
Vic261- thanks & yep took it very easy today! I was so scared to wee in case it fell out - I know it won't but boy does ure imagination go wild ! Good luck for your appt at the fs!
Hi kimbe, thanku & good to hear I'm not alone, but not great with your horrif experience. I must admit it wasn't the most pleasant experience/feeling! But for it to be prolonged unessesarily ouch... The things we put ourselves thru :-D so I put an ice pack on my guts after I did the org injection & that worked really well for me - took the little sting away. Good luck w/the stabbing !
AFM - im currently PUPO - so had my 1st et this morn, was really scared, nervous, cold feet etc - which is completely not me. Mum came with me & once it was done felt relief & hungry!!! So I only had 1 embie transferred (4cell ?) & out of 10 eggs only 4 fertilized & then 1 of them dropped off so only got 3 in the end. 2 on ice hopefully...Doc (not my normal fs) didn't really give me a choice for qty so was fine with that 1 transferred in the end. All in all crampy, relieved & just had to google how to do that jelly stuff as the information is a little lacking at my clinic! Thank god for dr google. I believe the "mood" fun begins now. got bt on 13/2.
Take care everyone & hope the week goes well, bt's are positive, loads of eggs produced & lots of successfully pain free et's .
(ps I'm new at all this terminology /forum correspondence )
Miss B - Your posts always make me smile You are very kind hearted and great with words.
Kimbe- No OHSS here, have had that checked out. I was really really bloated last time and still only got 11 eggs so I think I just swell up like a balloon! My boobs are huge as well Im normally an F cup as it is but at the moment I look like a freakin cartoon character, they hard all hard and mega mega sore
Had my blood test again this morning, all the roads around my clinic wrre closed because of a triathlon so it was a mammoth task to even get there. Nurse called today and said that my Oestrogen is 5400, not sure if this is good or not but its gone from 2400 to 5400 is 3 days! Off to have another blood test and ultrasound tomorrow and then catching up with the lovely Keta for lunch
Oh and I meant to say kimbe, my clinic hyped me up for the orgalutran needles and I was scared s******s when I had to do one but it was fine. The only thing I find a bit annoying is the needles feel a bit blunt so you have to push a bit harder to get them in.
Myturn, noooooooooo!! Sore throat go away! That's no good hun, being sick while you're TTC really sucks. I remember in my first pg, I was sick soooo much, I got a cold pretty much straight away, then sort of recovered and then 2 weeks later it was back again. My doc said that the body's immune system kinda goes outa window! I'm guessing with you it's the drugs and stress of it all taking its toll on your wee body. Hope you're feeling better soon You're heading for a very exciting week next week!! Woo hoo! Can't wait to hear all about it hun
Vic, I hear ya on the bloating! I'm not a flat tummy person anyway, but these IVF cycles (except my FET cycle) make me so bloated! I hate sucking in my tummy when DF's kids are around, just don't want to tell them anything yet. And great to hear your hubby is on the same page as you hun! That's always a huge positive. GL with your FS app. on Thursday hun
Kerbear, praying your DH's swimmers found that beautiful eggie of yours!!
Mia, thanks hunni I'm watching the tennis too (on and off! lol)
Kimbe, my orgalutran jabs were a bit more painful than the puregon, but easier as the dose is pre measured so you just jab away! GL with it hun, hope you grow heaps of nice follies
Missren, congrats hunni on being PUPO!!!! Well done to you, FX is will bring you that lovely BFP
Amy, thanks gorgeous lady!! Are you still doing the EPU on the 1st? I'm not sure about the oestrogen levels hun..
Hello to everyone else!
AFM, I went and bought a 3 pack HPT and a digital one. I was going to test tomorrow morning, and keep testing every day till BT day, and use the digital one on Thursday. Well, I gave in and peed on the stick, in the afternoon, and I got a line.......I am so freaking out right now! I am so scared it's gonna get lighter or worse, disappear altogether. It came up pretty quickly and it was clearly visible. This wouldn't be a false + from the progesterone gel? The first time I tested was 3 days post transfer (false + as it was still the trigger ) then I waited 2 days and tested on Friday this week and it was def. a negative (so 6 days post transfer). Today is 8 days post transfer. I'm gonna test again with first pee tomorrow morning to see if the line is still there. Scared ****less!
