Thank so much. Ivejust started to get those horrible stabbing pains in my belly like before. Is that Normal I cant even stand up straight.............

[briggsy's girl]

it's possible that this is normal for YOU - unfortunately!

i got dull pain more than anything - the only time i got really crampy was when i needed the loo - i have terrible IBS and the EPU gave me a horrid flare up! apart from that, it was really only the dull achiness...

Thanks BG you are probably right that it is normal for me since it happened last time too. It sucks though I feel shocking... If it doesnt improve over night Ill give the nurses a call and see what they think I should do... Thanks again

Hi

Just wanted to throw something else into the mix. Originally I was given Ovidrel for my trigger, but had heaps of follies and was overstimming so they dropped my dosage of puregon and changed my trigger to pregnyl - apparently much less chance of me seriously overstimming after EPU.

Important: bad experience/possible problem with Ovidrel: My wife and I were going to a fertility doctor. Did 3 rounds with ovidrel(the ovulation forcing shot). We had no luck all 3 times. We decided that the doctor had too many patients and was not giving us personal care. We went to another doctor, did a round of a natural hormone, Follistim AQ cartridges with the Follistim Pen, and Ovidrel for the ovulation. This time, like the other times with the other doctor, she had her period 2-3 days early, and of course we were really disappointed. Well, this doctor checked her blood and levels and noticed they got too high too quickly. We did another round with the same natural hormone, but with a different ovulation drug, Pregnyl I believe, and we're now 6.5 weeks pregnant. We think that Ovidrel was the problem. It's like it made her cycle speed-up, and eggs drop too quickly and too soon, so there was no time for "it" to happen. Not that Ovidrel is bad, but it didn't work for us.
I hope this helps some of you having trouble, because it really hurt us for some time. Good luck to you all.
