Bee sorry you still have no luck with your bank. Not sure who you tried first so apologies if you know this already we were given a pamphlet for a medical credit place it was stick standard in the ivf pack. If you are interested I can look for it when I get home and pm you details?
Thanks for replying everyone maybe I will be the lone sniffer!! Scary...
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to pop in and say hi :)
I havent posted for ages. Mostly because I am not cycling at the moment, but also because I have a new job and have been busy! Having a break has been good. Nice to think of other stuff for a while!
Lots of newbies in here :hello: Hopefully your stays are short :)
Good luck to everyone who is doing a cycle at the moment. Hopefully all of us will be able to "graduate" really, really soon.
I have an appt with my FS on April 26. I will probably do a FET with the two frozen embies I have. After that, maybe another stim and any FETs that may come from that. Then, I think we might call it quits. Not sure. Haven't spoken to DP but I guess we have to draw a line in the sand sometime *sigh*
On a good note, I have lost almost five kilos. Fallen off the wagon the past couple of days but back on the wagon tomorrow...I want to lose another five kilos - at least!
Anyhoo, good luck to everyone. Praying we all get that elusive BFP soon :)
Sorry to hear that Bee :( Look after yourself
Joeve - My last protocol was with the Syneral - which I had to sniff for ages!! It was part of the Down Regulation cycle - I don't know why they would have changed it on you unexpectedly - but the rationale (as I understand...) is that they are regulating your hormones, and stopping your body from doing anything - then they check to make sure your ovaries have not developed any follicles, and THEN they will stimulate the follicles to work - so they artificially stop everything and then make it happen - I understand that this means the egg quality can be better this way - certainly it worked MUCH better for me than the Antagonist cycle I did in November. I had much better number of eggs, and the puregon worked better so I had more follicles, growing at a better speed - more eggies, more fertilised, and as such - I actually HAD some left to freeze - thankfully
I think I will always do Down Reg in the future - which is a pain, cause it takes longer, but at least I know it's going to work better
Jane - it really does suck when you feel disconnected from people - maybe it's worth telling just a couple of close friends whom you trust??? I too avoid social occasions with some friends - particulary if I know they will ask, or if they are recently babied up! it's quite difficult - but I think you are right - you have to keep busy - the best thing for me has been getting the 2nd job - I can work on it at night, and it keeps me occupied.
Lyra - 15's not that bad - the nurse always said to me when I was down about the sizes - that it usually suddenly starts growing - so FX it gets there soon for you!
Vic - great to hear that it looks like the business will be a go ahead - I know how much you want this, and the waiting must really suck! You do seem to be keeping a rational brain about it all though - so remember that it's okay to hate that you have to do it this way sometimes!!! FX you get a surprise natural one - and good on you for getting to the gym - I know how hard it is to get motivated to do that!
I'd offer to do the list for you, but unfortunately I just can't get online more than once or twice a week at the moment - perhaps someone else would do it, if you are not feeling up to it??? anyone???
Ree - well done on first stabbing ;) it is anxiety provoking the first time - but surprisingly devoid of pain! I found the orgalutran and pregnyl more difficult than the Puregeon - but more than it was slightly thicker (barely!) and itchy - so was a little more irritating - hoping they all slide in nice and easy for you ;)
Hey N2L - just read your post - we are obviously on the same brain wave - (look below at my comments!) Glad to hear you are on the wagon at the moment - sucks that it might be nearing the end - and WOO HOO! for 5kg loss ;) So proud of you!
Goodness me, I feel so behind with where everyone is at! Sorry for missing most of you - but I do hope everything is going well. :hello:
AFM - I paid the the next FET yesterday - so it's all happening - I have my first scan next Tuesday morning, and start the ovulation tests on monday - so probably ET the week after easter. I have told everyone I know that we are having a break - and I am going to focus on losing weight - I keep hoping that this means I won't be jinxing myself a bit more.... ha ha... I know it's totally irrational - if it's going to stick it will!!
Last week with the nurse was the first time she saw me cry - I felt a bit like an idiot - and of course, she was lovely and very supportive, and just sat with me, it was a rough week, and while it is past now, I think I still feel drained and emotional about it all... It is the not knowing and underlying fear that it's never going to happen.... When Gecko had to give it up in december, it really resonated with me, cause I think that is all our fears - when do you know you've had enough??? When do you decide that, you are just going to 'accept' and 'be happy' with your lot in life....? or decide that you are going to be a foster parent.... ?
Obviously they are questions that each person has to answer themselves - and we are not even nearly there yet.... but.... they sit there in my mind, taunting me....
this stuff stinks really.... doesn't it.....
Myturn thank you so much for your explanation hugs x. Sorry you were upset, it is hard and I think each of us has a limit it's just recognizing when you get there which I hope you never have to get to. We are all here holding your hand and supporting you x
Ree*Ree - the needles, I don't understand why the nurses say to jab it in fast! I never did, always did it slow and never felt it. IF I have to do it again (needles) I have a huge patch of numb tummy from my c-section so it shouldn't hurt a bit!
vic261 - exciting news about the business, hope it works out!
Bee27 - so sorry about your bank, sometimes they just don't get it :hug:
myturn - whoohoo FET! :D yes, the whole "when do you give up and be happy with your life" as is taunts me too. Then I think I don't want to be 50 and still doing the school run LOL.. so somewhere between now and then!!
AFM - still peeing on sticks lol, I just stocked up again from ebay then whilst I was down the shop I grabbed another packet. I know its too early. Everything I read tells me after 12dpo -14dpo.. ho hum.. who likes waiting?! I also was pondering if you are allowed to do HRT FETs back to back? I guess not?
Sorry just a really quick one about me. Well my oestrogen was 600 !!!! :dance::dance: The clinic seem sure that I will get to trigger, prob on Friday.
I'm so freakin happy!!! You would think I am UTD by the grin on my face. Suddenly feeling much more positive. This thing is a flippin roller coaster.

ReeRee- That’s great news, looks like we will be hanging out over the next few weeks. I’m on Gonal F as well but Injections are at night (150ml), and had my first jab last night :doh:. It feels nice to be doing something again, even if it is a needle. No side effects as yet but used the Gonal F for my IUI and didn’t feel any effects from it either
Vick- That’s great news on business front and I know what you mean by the working out, I have them that go over the last 6 months but have been walking with DH every afternoon for the last 4 weeks and I am feeling better and less stressed because of it. I hope you guys are back on track soon.
Joeve- Sorry to hear about the sniffing, it sound yuck! But at the end of the day where every gets us there in the end.
Jane- It really can help to have one of your friends to talk to, I told my Best friend when we first started with AC and she has been a wonderful support for me, she sat with me the day I found out the IUI didn’t work because DH had to work and it was great to have her around when I was feeling so down. I also let my Mum, Dad and Sister know about it over the last few weeks and it feels like a weight has been lifted off me. I hope you can find it in you to let someone in as I’m sure you will feel better once it’s out there.
Bee- That is horrible news hun, I’m so sorry the loan didn’t work out. As if this entire process is not hard enough without add that stress to the mix.
N2L- I’m glad you are enjoying your new job, I wish I had a job that I really enjoyed so I could try and stay preoccupied. BTW, way to go with the weight loss, I hope this give you the edge you need to get that BFP and good luck for your next cycle hun. It would be so sad to see you have to call it quits without a happy ending.
MyTurn- I hope the Easter Bunny bring you some good luck for your ET. I know what you mean about when is enough enough, I too am nowhere near ready to give it all up yet but I often get that hopeless feeling that I will never get what I want so desperately and every time it brings me to tears until I pull myself together and put it to the back of my mind gain.
Krikkit- I really hope you are testing to early and you end up with a BFP, we all need some happy baby vibes around here.
Lyra Stardust - How exciting, I know what you mean about the roller coaster, FX the TWW goes quick for you.
AFM- First Injection was last night and one I got over the anxiousness and let DH jab me it was all over in no time. I am booked for BT on Sunday to see how things are progressing, so FX all goes well. It feels really good to be actively doing something again even if it is only a jab at the end of each day. I know I shouldn’t but I already have my hopes up at this is going to work. I’m not really sure how to not get them up anymore, I think if I didn’t stay positive I may just give up altogether so I will just have to take the good with the bad if it ends with another BFN.
Mrs Mac. - well done with your first injection. It's great that you are getting things going.
Reeree - hope your going along smoothly for your first cycle. Fingers crossed for you.
Jane - I completely get what your saying about being disconnected from friends it's really hard. Our last two cancelled cycles have coincided with two lots of friends having their babies within two days of the cancellation. If you don't want to tell friends about ivf maybe you could meet up with a friendly face from here. Amyjb and I meet for coffee every now and then and it has truly been a godsend for me. Its nice to have someone who gets what you are saying. Not sure where you are based butif we are close there is always room for more at the table ;).
Hi to everyone else. I want to do a long list of persies but I'm on my phon an keep losing track. As it is there are probably plenty of autocorrections to keep you all entertained.
Before I duck out though just wanted to let you all know where I'm at. We had our fs appointment yesterday and it went quite well. Fs explained to Dh that we really have exhausted our options in regards to avoiding ivf but did offer to give us a go at continuing oi and have me take metformin. So we went with this. Dh had a meltdown last night as the realization that ivf will probably be where we go and seems so terrified and that he has failed. But I think it was a good meltdown, he finally opened up to me and we have talked more about why we are going through than we ever have. He even asked to read through the iv paperwork an prices today. Big step. Anyway, we will see if my ovaries behave this cycle but tbh it seems the fs is just trying to ease dh into things and ha said don't get out hopes up. I'm nervous about the side effects of the metformin as I'm meant to be taking three tablets a day within a week but so far at just one I'm doing ok. From reading it can help lose weight, I don't really need to but a couple of kilos wont hurt;)
Take care ladies
Keta, glad your appointment wasn't too bad.
I have been taking metformin since the end of October last year. My advice is to take 500mg for a couple of weeks, then add another 500mg for a couple of weeks, then add the final 500mg. Otherwise the side effects can be horrible (like, you can't leave the house, horrible). It hasn't helped me lose weight unfortunately but I know it helps some people.
I am on it to help improve egg quality.
Thanks N2l. My fs was so scary when explaining the side effects and it did freak me out. I think his reasoning behind putting me on it is to calm down my erratic ovaries. I'm thinking if you can avoid the side effects weight loss would be less likely. Although that means you have done really well to lose the weight you have. I think I'll take your advice and go very slow. I was also told I can go up a dose, see if it effects me then drop back if I need to. They didn't seem to fussed if I can make it to three tablets but obviously it would be better. Sending you lots of lucky vibes for some good eggs
Hi Ladies
Keta _ I'm on metformin and I started by taking 1x 500mg tablet for 1 week. After that week I added another 500mg tablet making it 2x tablets per day. 1 in the am and 1 in the pm. After a week I added another to the mix and took it at midday. After a week of 3x tablets per day I added my final one and I now have 2 in the am and 2 in the pm. Build it up slowly so you can avoid the side effects. Good Luck.
Mrs Mac - Well done on getting your first injection done. You'll be a pro before you know it.
Vic - That sounds great about the business.
AFM CD1. Woo Hoo. I start jabbing next Wednesday so just sniffing still for now.
Vic sorry for the delayed response!! I am no expert but from what you have described it sounds as though by paying that invoice you will have hit the safety net! I would definitely send your receipt back to Medicare - and hopefully you will get something more back! I am still waiting for my FET Medicare refund so cant help in that instance. I have my fingers crossed for you - and it's great to hear things are starting to work out for you Hun. X
N2L good on you re the weight loss! I'm so proud and happy for you - that's a really huge achievement! Good for you!
Myturn I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best of luck in the world for this cycle. You have a winning attitude going on- go for it!

Hi everyone!
Jane- Oh it's so hard to feel that loneliness. I really hope that you are feeling a bit better today. When trying for my son, 6 girls at work got pregnant and I remember how isolated it made me feel. It just seems that when you are trying everyone around you is pregnant or having babies. But I hope you know that you are not alone. Try and find someone that is NOT pregnant who you can talk to. The first time round with all this I went to a counsellor and opened my heart about my fears of never being a mother and then she told me she had 2 kids and I literally HATED her for it! Never went back. Sometimes I have to remind myself that all these super fertile people never asked for it, just like we never asked to be infertile. Sorry I went off on a tangent there... I'm not meaning to imply that you have negative feelings towards your friends, maybe it's just me that struggles with that... but I just meant to say that sometimes it's easier to talk to someone who isn't pregnant/ has kids. I'm sure your friends love you but sometimes a bit of space from people is not a bad thing. I really hope that things go well for you and you find someone who you can talk to. It's definitely therapeutic if you find the right person. I'll let you know how the counselling goes, but in all honesty, I feel better just having booked it, knowing that if this cycle doesn't work I have a professional who can help me pick up the pieces.
Keta- I'm so pleased that things are moving forward for you and you have a plan for IVF. It must be scary, but also hopeful?? When I started posting here I was so glad that you were doing the same thing as me and I feel so terrible that your cycle was cancelled and mine wasn't. It's just not fair is it. :( I am praying that you get your BFP from the IVF. Good luck with the metformin and I hope that all those nasty side effects don;t happen for you.
Hi to everyone else- I hope all those injections are going well .
AFM- well I have made it to trigger so am very relieved but trying not to get my hopes up too much. so CD 25 today, trigger tomorrow, then pregnyl for luteal support and then blood test 16th April.
mmm wouldn't it be nice just to have sex to get pregnant :lol:
Hi ladies,
Thanks for the support girls. Feeling much less crazy and more up beat today. Yesterday I went to the gym with one of my only friends who isn't pregnant or doesnt have kids. It was great. Just to chat about silly stuff whilst working out. We are going to do another class together tomorrow. I find that when I'm working out at the gym is one of the only time my brain seems to switch off and stop thinking about all this. So might have to get into a better routine with that.
Lyra stardust - Yay for trigger. This time next week you'll have a beautiful embie on board. Perhaps you can be the one to get a rush of BFP's happening if not one of the girls already in the TWW.
Porshe - Not long to you get to start jabbing - how exciting.
Keta - sounds like you DH is starting to think about things, it's a lot to process. Fingers crossed this cycle works for you. If not we are all hear for you. I think it wasnt until my Dh watched Empty Arms Broken Hearts by Tears and Hope that he really let all his feelings out and was able to talk about the overwhelming feelings he had about this whole venture. He was just used to bottling them all up. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it but be warned it is not upbeat and is guranteed to cause a therapeutic cry.
Mrs Mac - Yay for first injections
Vic - really hoping this weekend brings good news for you and AF doesn't arrive.
Hi to everyone else. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Hmmmm...Day 1 for me today. A week early! Which sucks since I bled for so long last cycle. I feel like I have only had just over a week off :(
Bugger n2l :( :hug: here's hoping all your efforts come up with something good soon.
Seriously crossing my fingers for you - look after yourself... xxx
N2L- that sucks big time.
ReeRee- how did your BT go today hun? I hope your cycle is going well and the injections are not giving you to much trouble. I have been getting some headaches and nausea but nothing to bad so far.
Hi to all the other lovely ladies out there. Hope you are all well.

Evening ladies
Thanks for all your encouragement, means a lot to me :hug:
Porsche, yay for a new cycle! :goodluck:
Jane, I'm glad you've found some distraction at the gym, and a gym buddy to share it with! :)
Lol Lyra, having sex to get pregnant! Good one! :lol: If only - it would be much more enjoyable, and cheaper!! Woohoo for trigger too! Argh the 16th seems so far away...
Hiya N2l, fantastic stuff with the weight loss, go you! And I wanna just send more :hug: your way, I hate that you are still 'in here' with us instead of graduating to a happier place..
keta, I'm hoping the metformin will be kind to you, best of luck hun!
Krikkit, how are you holding up? Have you been poas any more?
Myturn, :comfort: good idea with telling everyone you are having a break, this way you can really surprise them if it all works out this cycle!
Mrs Mac, ugh headaches and nausea are no fun :( boo to that!
No bloods for me today, 2 nurses and multiple jabs and none hit a vein! :doh:
Had the ultrasound done though, the technician barely said boo to me but from what I could see there looked to be a few follies on each ovary growing. Continuing with 187.5 GonalF and starting Orgalutran tomorrow, with bloods and scans every 2nd day starting Monday!
Before I know it we will be at EPU then transfer! Eek, nervous, excited, realistic/optimistic, can't-quite-believe-I'm-doing-this, all at the same time :/
Hi girls, I will be hanging around again soon cos i just took my last pill- HOORAY :dance:- so will be CD1 of a flare cycle as soon as AF shows up, which hopefully is sooner rather than later as I have been spotting from the pill for 5 weeks now :wall: and i just want NO MORE BLEEDING!!
good luck to everyone, no chance of catching up with persies as its way too busy in here but just want to say -
Keta- glad your appt went well and DH is starting to consider ivf, it sounds promising
Saffy xx
Hiya saffy :crossfingers: AF is here soon :)
Myturn I get what you said about the orgalutran needle now - did my first shot this morning and it definitely was not as fun as the gonalF, lol!
Hi all,
Hope you are having a great weekend. Just a very quick one...
ree ree- yuk no blood poor you, I hate the digging around for a vein! I also related to your story of the technician not saying boo to you! Made me think of me straining to see the screen while lying legs akimbo haha. Don't these people realise you have all your hopes pinned on this thing? I'm guessing no. I'm much pushier than I used to be... what's my lining? how many follicles, what size? what's my oestrogen? I reckon it's my body so I have a right to know.
Saffy- I really hope AF shows up soon so you can get started! Exciting!
AFM- well it has been 36 hours since my trigger so I should be ovulating around now... not feeling anything yet which is odd. I normally get very obvious pains. Anyway I may go and post on the TWW as I am offically in the TWW woohoo! Role on the 16th!!!:pray:
Thanks everyone for your responses to my ramblings, I feel not so alone this cycle and it's good!!
Still bfn :( don't think this one stuck
Krikkit when is your BT? Crossing everything for you!
Lol @ Ree :lol:
I definitely didn't miss it on the down reg cycle!! Though I took pregnyl last month and that was similar - orgalutran was SOoooo itchy though!!!
:hello: everyone....
So I learnt last night that Orgalutran is a bit#h. That stuff stings like crazy and I felt like I wanted to scratch my stomach off. Other than that my headaches seem to have gone away but the nausea looks to be here for the long run. I am dying to have an ultrasound to see how many folicies I have (FX there are any) but when I went in for blood yesterday the said I needed to wait until Wednesday :0( so wait I will.
I was also wondering for any ladies that have been through an egg retrieval, how long after the procedure were you out of action. I am trying to figure how long I will need off work, the doc said just the day of the retrieval but would rather hear form someone who has been through it.
I hope everyone is doing well and will catch up when I'm not on my phone.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mrs Mac -I was out for about two days post retrieval the pain is what is debilitating, I nearly ohss too so probably didn't help. I ended up just taking a week off cause transfer was on day 3 anyway
Joeve - thurs is my bt again bfn this morning
I am out this month too. AF is arrived this morning right on schedule. The wicked, wicked witch that she is :( I am not gutted like the other months as I knew it wasn't going to happen naturally. Sure would have been nice though....*sigh*...
I am just glad we saved the cash this month and it doesn't seem so wasteful, when you haven't paid for it.
Will try taking some CoQ10 for a while and see how I go. That and continuing on at the gym. I dont know when I will get to use my frosties as this business venture is taking all our cash.

Hi Ladies
Kritkit - I'm so sorry it's a BFN.
Vic - I'm sorry Af arrived. She's so unwelcome. How is the buisness venture going? What are yu starting up?
Mrs Mac - I had the day of EPU off and I went into work the next day. I left work early though as I was in pain. I had to go into work as my boss was on leave and I was the only one in the office. Otherwise I would have had the day off. I ended up with mild OHSS though so could explain why I wasn't feeling well.
Saffy - FX for AF!
AFM - Seeing FS tomorrow. I won't be starting FSH because FS will be away over easter. So I guess I'll keep sniffing and he'll give me a date to start jabbing. I'm thinking I should have waited until after easter to cycle. Ah well too late now.
Just wanted to say sorry to Krikkit and Vic- that really sucks. Hope you are holding up ok.
Hi My turn - Hope you are well.
Vic - Really hope the business takes off for you and DH. Very exciting but probably daunting times.
Porshe - Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. Fingers crossed that Easter doesn't delay you too much and you get to jabbing soon (as odd as that sounds)
Kirkkit - Sucks about POAS - hoping that the result is wrong. Thinking of you. Hoping things change soon. We are in need of some good news in here.
Mrs Mac - Not long til ultrasound now. Fingers crossed you have a few follies growing nicely. I had two days off after EPU. But I really should have taken longer. I was in a lot of pain becuase of OHSS. I ended up having the whole of the next work off to recover from the OHSS. I think you really will have to wait and listen to your body. Some girls seem to bounce back quickly, for others it is more of an ordeal. I wonder whether it makes a difference if they do EPU under general versus mild sedation?? Hmmm, any thoughts ladies?
Hi to everyone else. Hope everyone's jabbing, sniffing or general waiting is going ok.
AFM - BT and US were today. Still a way off ovulation (I'm predicting sat). Lining at 3. I think it needs to be 7+. I freaked out a little during US when I was told I had 20+ follies on each ovary. (But then again I do have PCOS). I'm doing a FET (natural cycle), so not looking to grow lots of follies. Got worried that it might be a problem, but the nurse was nice and said that cysts would be the main problem that they have to watch out for. None of them idenified this far. So fingers crossed. Back for another BT on Wed and then I will find out when next BT and scan is. Was hoping to go away for the long weekend but it is seeming like I might have to stay around in Sydney for more tests. Sigh.
Mrs Mac - You definitely need at least the same day - I think I've been lucky to get the next day off (as it's been weekends or something like that), and you can have the day of transfer as well (as you can get a medical certificate - but you could go back to work that day). Personally I reckon the 3 days is nice - but you probably could get away with just the same day - just keep your duties light the next day. But it really does depend on how you cope with it. The first time I joined up to BB that weekend, as I was TOTALLY obsessed with everything... but as you are already here... ;) Just keep plodding away with the orgalutran - I found it got better, and don't forget to put out the air first (I stabbed myself WITH the air the first time! That meant I had a hugher bulge than I needed to!!!)
Sorry Kirkkit :hug:
Sorry to Vic - you know it's never easy even if you KNOW it's not going to happen.... cause there's always the hope that it MIGHT.... :hug: for you too...
What's CoQ10???
Thanks Jane :) I'm well
AFM.... started ovulation tests tonight.... the two lines were pretty close in colour - but I'm kinda expecting to ovulate later in the week.... it will be interesting to see what the US shows tomorrow... and whether Jo does a BT as well....
I'm predicting a ET next thursday... but would be better if earlier, as I have SSOOOOOO much work to catch up on, and school holidays are a great time to get the reports done!!
hope everyone else is doing well - I am certainly looking forward to the warm weather this week - it will probably be the last time melbourne will see 30 for a while ;)
chin up everyone... someone's gotta get a BFP soon.... don't hate me, but I desperately hope it's me....
My turn - that would be awesom if you were the one to turn the tide from BFN to BFP. That would be excellent.
I think I will be having transfer at a similar time to you so will stalk you in the TWW soon. Yay.
Fingers crossed for everyone. Let's get some BFPs!!!
Hi girls,
I hope everyone is plodding along well in here. DH and I have our appointment with our new FS tomorrow at 11am WA time, any suggestions on questions we should ask him? We havent had an FET before so obviously I will ask him how it will work, but is there anything you wish you had asked but forgot?
Aim x
I would ask - what gives you the best chance - day 2 or day 3 or day 5? I felt as though I had to research this myself and ask for what I wanted - which ended up being defrosting 3 x day 3 embies and trying for a good day 5 blastie. When I asked my FS was happy to do this but it wasn't suggested as an option, I did have to ask.
I would ask also about repeat FETs - can you keep going mon on month without a break if you want to?

I have started with an IVF cycle this month, my first one. Am day 13 now and have been having all the injections, gonal-f and orgulatran. Am not so happy with orgulatran as most of you have had a reaction, not so much ichy, just sore and red around injection area and then the nauseous feeling afterward. After nr 6 of this injection it's not as bad as the first ones... Tomorrow I'm going back for another scan and bloodtest and am hoping for epu on Friday, which will give me some time to recover over the easter weekend. We'll see how we go. Am a bit nervous about that part.
Fingers crossed for all of us!
Vic, Kritkit- sorry about the AF, I was hoping you ladies would start a run of BFPs.
Jane- FX your lining thickens up, and good luck for the FET.
Myturn- The Orgalutran was a little better for me last night, I think I might have made DH a little nervous the first time because I was freaked out so it hurt more than it should. I spoke with my boss and he has been very supportive about the Retrieval and told me to just play it by ear an give her a call if I need more than 1 day.
Amy- Good luck with the FS, I hope you appointment goes well.
Me4ever- you are only a few days ahead of me so guess I'll see in you the TWW. I have only done 2 Orgalutran injections but it seems to be getting better, or I am getting better at dealing with the stinging and itching that comes after it. That is one injection I will be happy to never have again. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. I can't wait to get my US tomorrow and see my little follicles.
Thanks ladies for the info on the retrieval recovery time, guess I will just have to see how I feel on the day.

Hi Ladies
Jane - Do you O naturally with your PCOS? I have PCOS as well but I don't O regularly. So for my FET I have to be medicated. LOL that sounds like I'm doped up or something.
Myturn - Yay to those POAS's. Hopefully O isn't too far away.
Amy_Jellybean - Good Luck today.
Me4ever - Welcome and good luck.
Mrs_Mac - FX for you appointment today.
AFM - I start jabbing on Saturday. I keep sniffing until I start jabbing. I'm on 180ui puregon. Picked that up at my appointment and now just have to dig out my pen and away we go.
