Hi ladies. Not having mine till February, but I've been stalking this thread. Good luck to you all!

Great news sunshine and if i manage to control my over active follie i may be joinng you on the Wednesday!

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

yeah my scan is monday too, will keep my fingers crossed for both of us xx

 

[SillyMoo]

Hi girls

Wow, Mishcheifmake and Sunshine, you are growing some great follies there!! Congrats!! I am sure that the buserelin will stop that naughty big follie from leaving the pack Mischeif and the menopur will get the others growing

I had my deciding scan today and I also have a very dominant follie of 21mm (was 16 on weds!) and the rest (12no.) are comparatively small from 10-17mm. They did a blood test to decide whether i should continue with the Menopur a bit longer or go ahead for planned EC.

Now, a little unusually, I am having normal dose of buserelin/menopur tonight and then tomorrow AM I am having 225 menopur, buserelin at 6.30pm and then 3vials of Pregnyl at 8.30pm and EC is going ahead on Monday!! OMG, it’s happening!!

I told my bosses boss yesterday (my boss works at home) about IVF and he was SO lovely about it and said to take as much time as i need and to take next week off as planned sick leave rather than holiday - Wowsers! I was quite worried about telling him as I work with all men and its very female problem so it’s a massive relief, probably helps that his wife is a midwife.... thanks for your advice ladies.

Hugs to everyone, Moo xx

 

[Misscheifmake]

Wow - excellent news Moo. See they can be understanding.... at times!! lol

Hope everything goes to plan for your Ec on Monday. We can all do this, right!! :O

 

[mrssunshine78]

wow fab news!!! good luck!!

tbh i've found that my male boss at work has been fab, he's been more sympathetic than my female boss, i popped in to see him today (i work at the hospital) when i went for scan and bloods, he asked what was wrong with me (i'm off sick at the mo), i said the drugs were making me feel crappy, and he just told me to go home and rest.

Bleugh and double bleugh today.

Just came back from my scan and Wednesday's egg collection has been cancelled. I now have 11 follies so grown another 2 since the last scan. But only 2 measure bewteen 16 -20mm, the rest are being stubborn and still hovering around the 8-13 mark. This excludes my large follie which now measures in at a staggering 32mm. They are going to have to exclude this from collection as will be over-mature.

They have upped the drug dosage one last time and will give me another scan on Wednesday to see if that has done the trick. As the nurse said we just have to hope.

So i'm running the risk of having a cancelled cycle

aww its crap isn't it? my EC has been cancelled on wed too, looks like it might be fri for me, my follies are being silly too, think they said there are about 4 that are 16-17mm, and the rest are around 12-15. i also have another scan and bloods on wed, i'm keeping everything crossed for both of us

good luck xx


sillymoo - hope your ec goes well today xx

 

[rachelle1975]

Fingers crossed for Wednesday ladies my clinic won't give EC dates until you ate ready... Less worry & stress I think my NHS clinic gave a predicted date which I would never have made. I'm sure you will both be good by Wednesday, 2mm per day & you'll be popping! My friend did 16 days of stimming as she had a slow response & got her BFP on 6 eggs!

AFM, lining is really good & lots of follies at today's scan measuring 10-13mm... This is a much better response than last cycle & I have a nice bit if hope this time since we had an early m/c last time I'm much happier my lining is ripe for implantation

Next scan midday Weds... No call from clinic re my bloods so I guess I'm responding ok x

Evening

Sunshine and Mischeif - i wouldnt worry about your folly sizes, at my second scan they warned me that I might be late for EC too but by the next scan the smaller ones had caught up. You want them to be mature so that you can get them to fertilise to its best to wait even though i know thats really hard as you just want to move on to the next stage.

Rachelle - your scan sounds really positive too, how exciting and great that the response is better on this round.

Am sending all 3 of you good follie growing vibes

AFM - all went well today: 14 follicles and 7 eggs, all of which are mature and ok to go. We have had to have ICSI cos DHs sample was borderline in some places and the embryologist thought we would be at risk of failed fertilisation with IVF.

So now, just the waiting game to see if any of the crew are going through to the next round....

I am quite uncomfortable though but ok if I dont move too much so getting DH to do loads for me while I can

Keep up the PMA girls!!
xxxxxxxx

 

[rachelle1975]

Huge congrats silly! I'm predicting a fab fert report tomorrow! My friend dilly is currently in 1st after similar from EC

 

[mrssunshine78]

thats great news!! hope you get some good news tomorrow too

good luck rachelle, sounds like you've got some good follies going on there

xx

 

[Misscheifmake]

Congrats on your EC Silly - i'm sure you'll get a great report on that, let us know x

Rachelle - sounds like this time is going really well, those follies sound great x

PMA right guys. I have drunk so much milk and eaten so much protein today that i really might go pop!

 

[rachelle1975]

ODing on protein... Hardcore! I have a protein shake but that's about it on top of normal diet! Last time I should have bought a cow

 

[SillyMoo]

Just popped on to let you know that we had 6 eggs fertilise and are having ET tomorrow morning. Any opinions on having 1 or 2 embys put back?

Sorry for lack of personals, been awake worrying about the call since half 3!

Night night, folly growing vibes to you all
XxX

 

[Misscheifmake]

Thats great news Silly - So so so pleased for you.

Personally i would want two but that's just cause i'm quite looking forward to the possibility of twins. I have waited all this time so why not get two for the price of one!!

Oh yep completely overdosing. Protein shake for breakfast, a litre of milk during the day, fish for lunch and chicken for dinner!

And i wonder why i am so bloated?? lol

I too would personally go with 2, i would love twins, the consultant told us they had better success rates when 2 were put pack

good luck

[rachelle1975]

Silly, fantastic fert report since they are doing a 2-day transfer I would go for 2 embies for definite! It gives you more chance of a :BFP: for sure! Will they not try for a 3 or 5 day transfer since you have good embies?xx

 

[Misscheifmake]

Well last and final scan and they have grown enough to let me have ET on Friday! Wohoo!!

Only 4 of good enough size but they said that will do and if it doesn't work they know to increase the drugs next time! I'm still willing a bit of final growth ))

I'm excited now and ready for stage 2!

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

 

[rachelle1975]

Well done mischief! 4 is good & they may even find more on the day

I'm just off for my scan but my train has been cancelled
