Kass - awwww big hugs hun, I am so sorry :-( FX that this next fresh cycle will be the one
Teirae - woohoo for things starting, its always pretty exciting when you get to that point. Yeah, I didn't get the whole having to start the pill when you are desperately trying to get preggers!! I noticed on your post to Williever that you have taken blood in the past - just curious, are you a nurse/phlebotomist? My job is to actually process all the blood samples (hence ivf and privacy at work for me is an issue). I have drainpipe veins too but just on one arm, the other is crap and noone can get anything off it!
Loops - hiya - how is the patient doing? Hope he is healing well. That is a bugger that you will have to wait for a bit before you can try again, what tests did you get done (if you don't mind me asking)? You have def hit the nail on the head there, saying at least you have each other. DH and I have been constantly reminding ourselves of that lately, that we as a couple is the most important thing in this whole journey. But a bub would be great too.
N2L - YAY for being able to start a stim cycle again so quickly
Williever - how did you BT go? Happy jabbing and keep chugging down that water!
Tantee - that is the really weird thing, other than doing Colorado this time round, my protocol was EXACTLY the same even down the the Puregon dose so we really don't know what was going on. We are doing colorado this time as I have quite a few autoimmune issues (coeliac, thyroid, ana) and by taking aspirin and steroids, it will hopefully just quieten my immune system down enough to stop trying to boot out my poor little embies. We also get antibiotics thrown in to prevent any infections cos of my dumbed down immune system plus extra oestrogen too. Hate hate hate progynova tabs but if they help, then that is awesome, just get absolute killer migraines and fatigue on them. Wow, a perfect thawed hatching blast - that is awesome GL and hope the 2ww isn't too awful for you.
A big HI to JBM, 1moreplz and anyone else that I have missed.
Well, we had another scan and BT today and what a turn around! We went into our appointments today fully expecting to be cancelled but we have gone from next to no follies to 12 over the weekend. E2 has more than quadrupled since Friday so we are much much happier. Trigger tonight with EPU on Wednesday. We've got 5 decent sized follies atm plus another 7 tiddlers at about 7 - 9mm, anyone have any idea what our chances are of them catching up enough by Wednesday? Unlike last cycle, we still have to have our super duper shot of Puregon tonight so I'm hoping that along with the trigger might give a few of them a fighting chance. Thank you so much for your support, we were pretty devastated on Friday
oh Kass *biggest hugs* sorry to hear, keeping you in my thoughts and really hope next time is it for you!
MellisaI ~ Im a midwife (& nurse). I use to take blood a few years ago when i worked in an emergency department...I'm just out of practice I guess, these things you have to keep doing to keep up your skills. all the best for wednesday!!! awesome you levels jumped, and heres hoping there is lots of little eggies there waiting to get picked up =)
EDIT: SNAP 1moreplz, giving you all the cyber heatpacks and chocolate I can muster to keep you going =)
Melissa That's such good news you've got some decent follies. Isn't ttc/ivf such a rollercoaster of a journery. I hope it remains nice and stable for you. Good luck on Wednesday.
Sorry this is a quick post. All scheduled for 8am appointment with 8:30 transfer.
all the best everyone
Melissa - I am so pleased you have had a turn around. Woohoo!! Great news!!! It's great to know, just incase my first scan doesn't go well All the best for Wednesday.
Kass - I'm sorry hun xxxx
Teirae - Thanks for the tips. I have been on the water, but will pick that up a bit. It's quite bruised now so they will have to feel their way around. I am def. sleepy, and forgetful. Students keep reminding me of things!!
Hello everyone
Well results from BT on Sunday indicated I should start Cetrotide, so last night we started that along with gonal F. My next BT is Wednesday along with a scan. I am guessing (and I have no idea about this) that pick-up could be Friday/Sat, but of course I could be totally wrong. I am also assuming there will be eggies to pick-up! I have got the morning off for my scan so that I don't have to stress out. And I have pre-warned the boss about the possibility about being off on Friday. I needed that out of the way as it was waking me up and stressing me out. I am learning from others and know that I need to reduce the stress levels. Thank you tipsters
So tonight we continue with the injections. I think we've done really well so far, but the stressful parts are coming up. It feels like time has flown by.......if we get a succesful transfer I probably wont be saying that in the tww
Kass - so sorry about BFN big hugs to you
N2L - wow thats great news about next cycle
Oneday - Big congrats on BFP
Loops - I hope everything sorts itself out and good luck with test results
MelissaI - Great news what a turnaround it just goes to show not to give up
Happybaby - good luck with transfer sending you lots of sticky vibes
Teirae - great news for you that your cycle is going along as it should it is exciting when you get started, now just the waiting game
AFM - Day 8 had scan this morning so waiting for instructions from FS! Such an anxious wait as we all know anything can happen from here and i have several cancelled at this stage so waiting waiting waiting in hope.
I had about 12 follies sized from 10mm to 17mm so hopefully there is one good one in there..
blossom - I'd be interested to know what the fs has said. I am learning about each phase, and that could help. I hope you don't need to cancel this time around. The size and amount of follies is good? I think it is. Am I right?
Kass - Thanks very much
afm - Sooooo bloated now. Walking is painful and my trousers are getting tight. I am so worried about being over-stimulated (or whatever you call it)!! ugh UNCOMFORTABLE! DH made me bleed last night with both injections......dropped the needles whilst they were in!! Bruised today
Williever - Far out! I am so sorry that you have hit a hurdle in your cycle. I know what you mean about the crying, it happens at the best of times but it is very hard to hold back in front of others when you are faced with such crappy news. I really, really, really hope that you have a little miracle tomorrow and the stupid polyp has disappeared and will leave you alone for good. Big, big, big hugs to you hun, this is tough going but you will get there....
Melissa - You have had such a tough cycle. Your little embie will be in my thoughts tonight when I send out my sticky vibes and I am so hoping for you that you have good news tomorrow.
Your bleeding sounds quite heavy, did you speak to your nurse/fs about this today? Has it eased for you today?
Loops - happy anniversary. It sounds like your dh has a great nurse (with benefits!) to aid his recovery. A holiday when he recovers sounds like a good plan.
Happybaby - great to hear all went well. I hope AF keeps away for the next 9 or so months for you..
N2L - How are you feeling?
Hi to all you other ladies 1moreplz, jbm, teire, kass and anyone else I may have missed. I hope you are all looking after yourselves.
AFM - 6dp5dt and not feeling very optimistic. Have refrained from POAS (usually do by now) and am feeling miserable today as I have no symptoms whatsoever, pretty much feeling that this cycle is done with.
