2011 - The Year Of The Baby!!

[rachelle1975]

Hey ladies, don't worry about the 'small' follies.... Same thing happened to me last cycle and the same dose. Quick tweak & I was good to go! I ended up with 10 eggs, 6 fertilised & we got to blasts so you are all doing well & I promise it's nothing to worry about

AFM... day 2 of stimms all done. Have been sicky today but I'll feel better when by body is used to it!! Not posting any of this in my diary so will just keep updates on here, my only worry is a repeat of last time and me going loopy

Scan next Monday.... EC prob 17/18!

Wallie good luck with your sniffing!!xx

 

[Wallie]

I had my acupuncture tonight, going weekly just now. Hopefully it will reduce any side effects from the drugs I'll be taking. Here's hoping anyway.

 

[rachelle1975]

FX Wallie - apart from a bit of nausea and fatigue (which is normal since i'm menoausal!) it's actually okay - think the best thing it will do is help with the stress - i didn't even realise i was stressed until i came round from the GA and all my pains and aches had vanished in 30 minutes!

 

[Wallie]

Morning ladies!

Did my first sniff today. Got on fine, rather surprised myself really. I just hope all the millions more go okay.

Hope everyone has a fab day. We've had another dusting of snow last night but at least I can now walk instead of sliding about everywhere.

 

[rachelle1975]

Well done Wallie Just think... couple of weeks and your sniffs will be halved and you'll be jabbing!

Morning all :O)

I really messed up my injection last night, i thought i would have a go at mixing myself. Dropped it and lost half of the dose onto the floor - at least my carpet got a good stimming dose! lol

DH had to do an emergency run to the clinic this morning to pick up some more meds so I have some for tonights injection and i am now on strict instructions to leave well alone and leave it to him!

More optimitic today and starting to feel really bloated so it must be things growing! Also have an extra accupuncture after tomorrow's scan to try and help move things along. Hoping she has magic needles!

Let me know how everyone else is doing - thinking of you all x

 

[rachelle1975]

Bloating is good mischief! I've only had 2 days and i'm starting to feel uncomfortable - same thing happened last time and i lost weight after EC! I'm like a sponge

I tried to be brave with my Gonal F pen last night, sat on the bed next to DH taking tentative stabs... ended up with tiny blood spots and he had to do it himself - doesn't even hurt!

 

[Misscheifmake]

Rachelle - we are such a pair - lol!!

Really uncomfortable today just went home for lunch and had to put a loser skirt on but still feel like a beached whale! Reckon a gym visit will help or shall i just lie on the sofa?!

I noticed you're also in Surrey, whereabouts?

 

[rachelle1975]

I live in Chessington, what about you?

Lie on the sofa! I passed out in the gym last cycle... Oh the shame!! Clinic said only light exercise as risk of ovarian torsion now there's an excuse!!

 

[SillyMoo]

Hey girls, funny that about your jabbing, last night and tonight DH sway with work so had to prep needles myself and now I'm sure I've done it wrong!! What would we do without them?

11 day scan tomorrow and feel really bloated too, all about the elastic waist/baggier clothes I reckon girls. Clinic said v gentle exercise, walking etc which is the best excuse EVER to do nothing and have put on over 3lbs

When are every ones next scans? I'm hopig tomorrow goes well so EC can happen Monday - OmG this is really happening!

BTW, what have you told work? xxx

 

[rachelle1975]

Ooh silly so close! Reckon your next scan they'll tell you to trigger i did 12 days stimming last time

My next scan is Monday, day 7, they couldn't do it on Sunday.

Third jab done.... So much more stress free than last cycle

 

[Misscheifmake]

So pleased everyone is ok and getting there

Silly, you're really close, exciting!

Rachelle, I grew up in chessington and now live in addlestone. V close!

I'm scanning tomorrow and hoping things have grown. Clinic said exercise is ok but glad I read your girls advice and didn't go, sofa it is for the rest of this!

 

[Misscheifmake]

Sorry silly, just read ur work question. I've told my manager as run a fairly stressful department and I want to work from home for some of if it. plus everyone keeps asking me' the child question and after 3 years of being married it's become obvious it isn't happening. Haven't been great at hiding my emotion at times, but I'm lucky as my work are understanding.

Have you been able to confide?

 

[rachelle1975]

Small world mischief!! Whereabouts in Chessington? I'm only 1 road away from my dad

Silly, I've told work. I'm a police detective so can't deal with prisoners or be rolling around in fights so currently sitting in a bubble at work!! Not telling friends this time, way too much pressure!xx

 

[Wallie]

I've only told two lovely ladies in HR and a really good mate at work. Infact not mentioning it to boss, he'll guess anyway as he already thought I was going through IVF last year since I had a couple of appts - he thinks he's smart btw. I only heard that through rumour though. I work as a PA to the MD

I'm filling in forms for when I need off but I'll just say it's hospital appts but when EC and ET come about I may have to say to the boss I need off for a few days for a procedure.

I honestly wouldn't mind if everyone knew I was doing IVF but it's the whole horrible aftermath if it fails. If it works, who cares!!!

 

[Misscheifmake]

Somerset avenue, my parents are still there. Whereabouts are you? Very small world! Lol

I wish I had kept it a bit more quiet but we were given the run around by our pct so over exicited by the time that the funding came through and couldn't keep my mouth shut. If there is a next time at least I have learnt my lesson!

 

[rachelle1975]

Oh I told anyone that would listen last time, I was so excited! The hard but came when I went back after the m/c and felt like a loser and then I became a bit withdrawn so this time I'm keeping it on the down low and if I'm a lucky lady I'll be keeping it quiet until 2nd tri!

Oh yeah i know Somerset, I had friends that lived there! I grew up in Rollesby near the Bonesgate & now live near Gilders roundabout!x

 

[Misscheifmake]

Just come back from my second scan and the results are all bit strange. 9 follies in total, 8 are all around the same size and range between 8 -10 mm so still slow progress for them. Upping the drugs again so daily dose is now 300 so hopefull that will do the trick.

The problem seems to be my 9th follie which has stupidly raced ahead and now measures 23mm. So large that they are worried that it is going to create ovulation. So i now have to be extra careful at timing the other injection and making sure it is to the same minute each day and that the dose is 100% exact if not a little more. I'm scared now that i'ts going to go wrong. Ideally they want to over-mature that one so it is usless while bringing the other 8 up to the right level but without it causing me to ov.

My lining however is very good and measures over 12 so no worries on that score at least.

I'm setting an alarm to go off at the same time each day now!!

Anyone heard of anything similar with good results? x

 

[mrssunshine78]

morning ladies

i've just had my 2nd scan this morning, i've got about 6 follies of 11-12mm and about another 6 less than 10mm, my lining was about 9mm i think she said. have to up my dose tomorrow and sunday, and hopefully ec on wed!!! can't believe it

hope yours goes ahead ok on monday sillymoo

good luck everyone
x

 

[Misscheifmake]

I've got my deciding scan on Monday, what about you? x
