LT TTC & Assisted Conception Jan-Feb 2010

[Sharee]

Hi guys,

I haven't been in here for a while, I have been trying not to become obsessive during this my first IVF cycle - it hasn't worked

My first scan to check that I was supressed found a cyst, but blood tests cleared me to start injections.
So I am on day five of my gonal f injections, my DH is a pro at them now- I still can't bring myself to do it! still on two sniffs of synarel a day and have my second scan on Friday.
I'm feeling a little bloated but otherwise fine - which has me paranoid the gonal f isn't working and then I have this new cyst to worry about but I am proud of myself for coming this far (I know I haven't gotten to the really hard stuff yet!)

I'm going to read through and catch up on everyone elses news now!

murraycod - OMG!! I can't believe that guy....what a jerk! But I agree, good on you for walking out. He should get his degree taken off him! I wish that you were up this way so I could recommend my guy....but try again, there must be someone else you can go to. Please don't let it get you down. Stay positive and just forget about him!

FGS - That is such a great result! Good on you Don't worry, AF won't come before your transfer....our bodies do all kinds of odd things with all these drugs we take and procedures we put ourselves through. Just try and relax. for friday.

Loops - Thanks honey. Hope everything is going along smoothly.

Moonflower - Oh the 2ww......hang in there. sending lots of your way!!

AFM - Scan was good today lots of follies all pretty good size but have to have blood test tomorrow and another scan Fri but EPU will most likely be next Wed. Will keep you posted.

[Miss K]

Loops!! I am surprised to see you in here I wondered what happened to you and where you were at in your journey! Your 2 days ahead of me at this stage!!

bj - I hope all the injecting is going well for you!! Next wed won't take too long to get here with work and the weekend between here and there you will find it will be EPU before you know it!

fgs - Yay on the follies how amazing is that I bet your definately over the moon now


Murraycod - That is soo wrong what he said to you I would have beaten him with a stick and poked him in the eyes how damn rude of him!! Don't believe him and stay positive ok!! BIG HUGS

Moonflower - I hope the 2ww flys for you and doesn't drag on!!! I am about banging my head against a brick wall awaiting AF to arrive so I can start injecting LOL

terry - Thats fantastic news!! 6kg in 2 weeks is just awesome

Sharee- Welcome!! You know I said that to myself this time that I wasn't going to obsess and stay off BB during this cycle and you know what this is the best place to be with the best support and I find I am soo much happier talking to girls in the same position as us Sniffing is weird isn't it?? And regards to the bloating I wouldn't worry that it isn't working because I had bloating with gonal and it was producing follies for me

AFM - Well I am sniffing away hormonal as and I haven't even started puregon yet LOL and AF should be here next monday I think DH will be hiding out somewhere untill EPU lol!! And I am still gaining weight from the pill so YAY hehe but I know it will all come off and be worth it in the end!!

And I just want to say thankyou to all you wonderful ladies for the support you give throughout this thread because it makes it soo wonderful being able to talk to people in the same boat as you and how we understand each other!! So thankyou ladies!!

Hello to anyone I have missed I hope you are all doing well sniffing away, injecting, awaiting EPU and ET and to the ladies in the 2ww I wish you the best of luck!!

MurrayCod - good on you to walk out on him. It's not nice having someone so negative around you. My Accupuncturist wasn't so keen on me having had my tube removed, but wasn't negative about it, and is really nice to me.

Terry - Enjoy your holidays. I'm also going away - next friday and can't wait - I am going to South Africa (DH staying home to look after dogs) and will spend time with my parents and friends and just relax for 2 weeks. My AF looks like it should come on 14th of March - if it all runs smoothly

Moonflower - not resting so much now. I just realised the other day that I went out on New Years eve with DH for dinner and a walk around and a drink - and I only just realised that I was so exhauseted at 11pm and wanted to come home was becuase I had my EPU 2 days before. I just felt bad that DH had to come home with me, I tried to be brave and stay out late I feel so much better now, and really looking forward to a holiday.

To everyone else, good luck with all the waiting. Hopefully this will make us very patient parents

[Sharee]

I can't believe that guy Murray Cod - how very unprofessional, definitely best you find yourself a much more supportive accupuncturist and don't believe a word he said!

Well done on the suprise follicles FGS!
Thanks Miss K, I think your right, a little obsessiveness is probably inevitable with something so emotional as IVF and sharing it with people going through the same thing really does help - I hope all is going well (as much as is possible) with your sniffing.

Good to hear you had lots of follies BJ! We may have EPU on the same day.

Well I had my scan today and there were 5 follicles on the right and two on the left. So I will trigger Sun or Mon and have EPU Tue or Wed. I have no idea whether that number of follicles is okay? Gee its starting to feel very real now - I am very nervous about EPU but very grateful that it seems I will get that far!

Emerald Star!! Sniffing is fine no dramas here other than putting Handy Andy floor cleaner in the fridge at work and doing random things LOL!! How do they tell the synarel isn't working? I will be that you have some wonderful follies growing!!

[bj*81]

Sorry no personals today as I am kind of FREAKING OUT....
Just had another scan and EPU is now set for Monday. I have about 15 good follicles all up that are all good size but my estrogen levels from yesterdays blood test was pretty low. That has always been an issue for me but Doc said that my blood results would normally indicate only 1 egg! but he finds that almost impossible to believe seeing as my scan shows so many good follicles.
Last time my levels were only about 100 higher and I got 7 eggs. But my 1st ever cycle I got none! Last time though, I had another 3 days of injections before EPU, this time only 1. I know that he is the Dr and obviously knows best but I can't help going over everything and completely stressing myself out!

[fatgirlslim]

BJ - let me remind you that I was told
me e-levels AND follie size indicated I'd be lucky to get 2 eggs... At EPU - I ended up with 8 eggs - only 1 immature! And now have ET tomorrow...

I know how f$&@@&g hard it is - but don't give up!!

L xx

[bj*81]

Thanks FGS, let's hope that your right. xxx
And good luck for ET, let us know how you go.

Moonflower ~ Sniffing going ok thanks, slightly moody but not too bad.
Yep getting ready for the 27th when I start jabbing. Hope you're not going too crazy in TWW. GL and FX

FGS ~ Could it be the hormone injections still? Its probably nothing too worry about anyway, our bodies get all out of whack I recon. Wishing you all the very best for your transfer, FX.

Terry ~ Well done on your weight loss! Wish I could do the same as I need to lose about that much. GL for March - it will come around before you know it.

Sharee ~ All the best with your cycle, hope its your 1st and last. GL with the Synarel and jabbing. Im at a similar point - lots of fun, NOT but should be all worth it when we get our BFP's.

bj*81 ~ Anytime! So far everything going smoothly, ta. GL for Monday, you'll do well! FX ox

Miss K ~ hi. Yeh ive been floating in and out. Looks like im a couple of days ahead. GL with your sniffing. Funny you say that about the pill and weight gain - maybe thats why I feel fat LOL. All the best hun.

JBM ~ thank you and hope you can do another try soon. Hugs

Emerald ~ hiya and thanks hun. Really hoping it is the 1 for both of us. GL with your scan Wed.

Wishing baby ~ So sorry you had to go through a loss - hugs. All the best for this cycle. FX

AFM ~ Sniffing away and AF arrived today. Bad hormonal migraines but that is normal for me, slightly moody too but apart from that not bad. Looks like everything is on track though at least. Start Puregon injections on Wed.

Sorry to those Ive missed and hi. And GL to all, wherever you are at on the TTC journey xo

[xx Rob xx]

Just popping in to see how everyone is going. Hope you are all coming along nicely in your cycle. wherever that is.

for those going for EPU.

Lots of to those with upcoming transfers.

Lets start 2010 with a record of BFP's girls.

Just remember to keep up your fluids, and drink electrolytes. Too much water can also dilute your blood and cause probs of its own. Been there done that.
Take care everyone xox.

Just wanted to pop my head in and let y'all know my ET this morning was great - all 6 of my embies are going strong! They gave me a picture of the embie that they implanted - was so exciting. Amazing to be able to see on the ultrasound the exact moment that embryo entered my uterus - def one of the few upsides of IVF...

So I guess I'm officially a 2w-waiter!
