Thanks for the many birthday wishes. It was a great day and I did get spoilt rotten
N2L - BT today? Will be thinking of you xxx
Mia - Sorry that you had a rushed appointment. There is always so much information at one of those sessions and I am really glad you made her give you her proper attention. You deserve it. But I agree with you, most of the nurses are really awesome.
Myturn - Well done on the follies! Will keep our that your EPU is Monday.
Blossom - Good luck for Saturday or Monday. And have an amazing birthday Sunday xxx
Kerbear - Take it easy hunni and let everyone do the work I know what you mean too about the TWW and feeling a bit out of control. In the build up your so busy with all the injections and stuff and the days seem to fly, but once that TWW starts its so painfully slow! I can only imaging what its going to be like once we are pg and have to wait 9 months to meet our little ones. It must feel like FOREVER!!!
Miss B - Not too sure about going straight into another stim cycle as they usually like you to wait. Having said that I know others that have gone straight into another one. Guess everyones FS and bodies are different. I know how frustrating it is to wait endlessly for something to happen and if they make you wait a month, its really making us wait 2. I am hoping that my FS will let me go into a stim cycle as I have not had a month off since October, but I figure I am paying and I want it badly enough, so surely they cant resist ??? Hope your surviving the TWW. And its definately the worst part of the journey I think!
God this sucks this horrible rollarcoaster got a call and Embies
Not doing well!!! I have one grade 3 5 cell that is slow for day 3 the other 2 grade 1,s (grade 1 is worst grade 5 best)
they are saying to go to day 6 but not holding hope that it will continue
growing! Hubbie and I r thinking to transfer
tomorrow and see what happens, aaargh!!
Anyone had any luck with grade 3 slow growing?
Sorry for vent girls it just sucks so tired and over it
Losing hope!
So sorry Blossom. I would be tempted to transfer tomorrow as its the best place if they are a little sluggish. But having said that the clinic want the best for you. Dont lose hope
Oh blossom I feel for you and unfortunately can't offer advice as havent done any transfers yet, I can only say I would to do what's best for you. I know our nurses did say that they rather them transferred early if not looking good as I body is the best incubator.
Vent away, that is what we are all here for.
I will be thinking if you and praying your embies grow xo
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)
Just a quick one from me now. I'll do persies later.
Still feeling very sore and bloated. Thanks Amy for the suggestions, I'll up my fluid intake. Got an update from the lab today. Embies growing well, it's day 3 and I have 3 x 10 cells, 5 x 8 cells, 1 x 7 cells. And the others are very small and slow so not looking too good. Anyways, I pretty happy with me little embies and cant wait til ET at 9am on Monday. Woo hoo. Hopefully I'll be feeling a bit better by then.
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.
Im tempted to take a photo of it to show you guy but I dont know how to upload it. I had to wear different pants to work today and even still I have to have the top 2 buttons undone It hurts to sit down!
