Both of you ladies are Welcome!!!!! Look forward to your upcoming cycles!!!

norahbattie · Apr 14th, 2012, 16:44 PM

Welcome ladies, the more the merrier, good luck with your cycles.

afm: tmi ALERT!!!

Today I have been having a little bit more uncomfortable abdominal pain and the most copious amounts of EWCM. Sorry for the graphic ladies! Now we know I have no follicle in there so how is it that my body is responding in every other way? I always knew I was special and a wonder to science.

How is everyone else doing?

Thanks for the welcome Chiles!

Norahbattie - I am beginning my second round of injections (150ml follitism pen thing). In my first cycle I noticed a lot more cramping and I was spotting from 6 dpo (got excited and thought it was IB but more likely it was due to low progesterone). I am now day 5 of my second cycle and took my first shot today. I am still feeling a lot of cramping, more than usual. is this normal I wonder?

To be honest with you, I am very new to gonal F and maybe the other girls can answer your questions. I had an incredibly heavy period when I started gonal F with cramping as well, also I had intermenstrual bleeding around day 9 but this apparently perfectly normal with about 10% of women experiencing it.
Good luck with your cycle

Thanks for the welcome ladies!

AF came today. I'm so glad she's cooperating with me, haha. Seems like 9 times out of 10 she comes when I don't want her to or doesn't come when I do want her to. This time the witch is behaving!

I start 150 iu of Follistim on CD 3, and tomorrow I'll have to call my RE to schedule my baseline scan and E2 draw for CD 3. Fingers crossed for this cycle!!

norahbattie- Maybe your follicles are growing now? I visit another forum where a girl was doing an injectables cycle, was responding slowly to the meds and her doctor cancelled her cycle. However, her follies continued to grow on their own, she ovulated, and got pregnant that cycle!

gaijin- I'm sorry, I'm really not much help! I can't say that I had any more cramping than normal or anything after starting injections. Maybe the cramping is from the meds beginning to stimulate your ovaries.

Good Luck wanting2010!!! I did 150iu starting cd 3 as well. I am currently cd10. I go in for my bloodwork, and u/s today. My nurse say we are going to be keeping the road hot this cycle and we have. This is my 3rd appt thus far, and I know I may have at least 2 more, if not more. Lol. I think we are going to see something tomorrow. Hopefully some good news.

chiles - did you get my IM? Somehow I lost your original message so I hope it got to you.

Thanks for posting my e2 numbers! I was able to input them into my journal easily.

Welcome to the new girls!

Norah - I had a TON more ewcm with gonal-f - even when I had no follies on u/s.

But you're not currently on the shots, right? So maybe your follies decided to play catch up!

I would get busy just in case!

norahbattie · Apr 16th, 2012, 12:29 PM

Gosh I hope that would happen to me wanting2010 but unfortunately my consultant is no longer scanning me this cycle and has told me to wait it out for AF to rear her ugly head. I am guessing the NHS works slightly different to all the stateside women as she didn't do any oestradiol levels or anything and part of me is tempted to just go out and get it done privately.
I have the most uncomfortable feeling on my right side and I have been having it all the way through the cycle but the one thing that is bothering me the most, is the feeling of nausea, I think this is to do with my awful hayfever and dust allergy. I keep feeling sick going up and down our lift, fingers crossed AF comes to visit in 10 days or a lovely

Cridge - who knows what is going on tbh, I am just taking it that this cycle hasn't given me anything and fingers crossed the next cycle is a good one, unfortunately my dear OH and I live apart and we only see each other at weekends but we make sure its a good weekend ever weekend
