Aww, ladies thank-you so much. I knew it was a great decision to join this thread. So glad I can come in and voice my fears without them being glossed over. Love to you all xx
Rhi - I only had 3 follicles in one ovary and 5 in the other, and on collection only 5 had eggs -- and then 3 fertilised (well we're waiting on confirmation of that - but the Dr said on wed that there were probably 3 that looked good). So there's one in me now - hopefully sticking nicely!
19 follies is DEFINITELY heaps!!! I understand the fear though - I kept thinking of the statistics my FS told me, and was worried I'd get none to freeze (or maybe none to work at all!!) - the nurse was always really good and not letting on - but I could tell she was disappointed - and what we learnt from my first IVF cycle, is that I need the medication a little higher to get the follies going....
works out it was okay though...even though I was a little slow... implant was on day 22 - seems so much later than all the information brochures they talked me through at the beginning - I was having scans every 2nd day for 2 weeks - I reckon the nurse knew me by my nether regions better than she knew my name!! Lol...
Hi Janie - nice to hear some positive stories too - hopefully more of us will have some to share soon.
myturn, best of luck with this cycle, I truly hope this is successful for you. When will you get your blood test results for pg? I think I am a slow responder due to PCOS, even though I am not insulin resistant, I have the symptoms and I remember when I fell pg with DD, I am fairly sure I O late b/c my + pg test didn't show until CD 35...I go back Tuesday with a view of EPU on either Thurs, Fri or Sat.
I have my blood test on the 16th... seems so far away!!!
I too have PCOS - don't know if I'm insulin resistant or not - do need to get an up to date test for insulin and glucose next time I'm at the GP. Seems like there's lots of us out there. I don't have many symptoms - and only got diagnosed because we didn't get pregnant.
Good luck with the EPU - it was my first time last week and i was a bit overwhealmed before I went in, but not so bad - if this one doesn't work (and I'm aware that it's first cycle, so may not be) i think next time I will be so much more relaxed - cause it won't be so unfamiliar. I have a beauty of a bruise on my hand from the anasthetic - luckily no one seems to have noticed!
Yeah, you have to have a glucose & blood test to confirm the insulin resistant part. Pretty much like the GD test in pg.
Thanks for the luck, I am fine with going to hospital under anesthetic -I've had a few operations so not too fussed about it, just nervous that we won't have a good EPU & result.
16th does seem so far away! I wish once you were pg there was a big light on your body that told you! lol
Haven't posted in here for a while as I have been hanging out in the long term ivf thread. I finally ovulated today (it has been painful too ) So, if my embie thaws okay, my transfer will be Wednesday. DP probably won't be able to make it which sucks but, then again, he hasn't brought me luck the other times
Rhi, do you know when your pickup is?? Is your clinic doing a two or five day transfer??
N2L - Wishing you all the very best this time around. I read your other post & it looks promising FX
EPU for me will be either Thurs, Fri or Saturday but should be confirmed tomorrow. We are doing a five day t'fer, which I am a little nervous about b/c I have heard that 2 day t'fer is better???? Nurse disagreed with me..... I have been getting twingy O like pains in my ovaries but I should be Oing b/c I am using Oralugan (sp?) so is should stop O I thought, so not sure what is going on there.
