Hi all. Just subscribing to the new thread.
I hope everyone is doing well. I've been trying to keep up but boy these threads move fast. Sorry for not posting for a few days. Been down for the count with pharyngitis
Hasn't really helped me much in my tww, more days to sit at home off work contemplating if my little embie is still there.
Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone, especially nothing2lose!! Good luck!
Take care
Beginning to think I may be on my way out. No real symptoms. So ridiculously bloated DP is calling me Bloat from Nemo (I have put on 4kgs this week!! ). Feeling a little crampy this morning
Rhi - I think 19 follies sounds great! You go girl! I had 13 reasonably sized ones plus some smaller ones too so tomorrow I go for more bloods. If they are ok, I trigger tomorrow night, get admitted for my goodies Sunday night and epu Monday which is a day earlier than we expected. Though I vaguely remember our fs saying something about triggering a day earlier. Any who, hope those little puppies keep growing nicely - you are doing great hon
Rhi- try not to panic hun, its not over. The follies grow 2mm a day, and they usually need to be over about 18mm, so by Tuesday you should have some at 19/20mm. My first cycle of IVf was cancelled ( and I was devastated) but my follies were smaller than you and I had less, so there is a large chance you will be good to go next week, FX for you, I know its stressful but you just need to hang in there, and yes the meds and all the pressure do make you v stressed out. xxx
Janie- welcome back, wow 5 frozen embies thats great and I"m sure you will have a bfp soon!
JBM- thanks you are always a great cheerleader xx
hi everyone else, chins up girls we will get there
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.
Awww Myturn, big hugs to you, hun. There is nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better but do what you have to do to get through the next few days. Noone and nothing else is as important as yourself and DH atm so take care and do what's right for you
myturn glad you've found a support base to keep you sane
I just did my first gonal F injection... 150 iu... so we are off and running.
Had a big chat to the FS about our embryo situation, and I think we are going to have to relax and be happy with whatever God/the universe/mother nature decides to give us, give up control a little (as if we ever had it?) and try to fertilise everything.
Still OK to t/f 2 which is good. BT thursday, scan monday, pick up likely monday in 2 weeks. Whoop
good luck Maruschke! I do hope your dreams come true this time - you deserve it, for all the challenges you've had.
Blood test moved forward to tomorrow morning - as the nurse said "just to check there's nothing untoward".... seemed a weird thing to say - what does she mean by that?
I'm gunna get back on track and try to get another cycle in in december - Now that I know more about what's going on, I feel more like I can ask the right questions this time. Assuming AF arrives on time next month I'll be going for an approximate start date of 12th dec.... a birthday present for me - officially over the hill on 10th Dec... when I finally turn 35....
never wanted/expected to be an old mum - and now I'll be nearly 36 before I have my first.... bleugh. hate it hate it hate it.
