ICSI/IVF buddy June 2014?

[trying4babies]

T4b, did they do a full blood workup to make sure your electrolytes are ok? Dehydration is common with ohss. Did they do a test to see you if your blood is thickening? They had me on baby aspririn bc of the increased risk of blood clots. The fluid didnt go down for about 2 weeks for me. But be careful because there are some really scary complications. Are you drinking and peeing ok?
Pisces is day 5 tomorrow? Exciting!!!

Hey lanet not sure what bloods there doing but every 2/3 days there doing full.bloods & it's marked OHSS & ivf etc. My pee one or two days was slightly burny so I'll tell dem in d morning for my check up. They haven't got me on anything except augmentim to stop an infection. I heard the doctor saying last wk the ovary was 8cm (mild ohss) drinking fine tho & eating to much. My poor chest weighs like a ton of bricks as well. So sore. I asked was there anything I could do to about the fluid they said no... Online it says Epsom salted bath reduces fluid so might try that... How are you getting on?

Ahh bless you t4b, im a slow bleeder too! They don't struggle to find a vein but I dont give it up easy! Lol on day2 I have to have extra vials of blood for egg share and i always feel woozy when theyre wriggling it around trying to get a better flow, yuck! Hope you feel better soon. Good luck for your transfer Pisces, youve still got a great number of embryos! Fingers crossed for you! Whens your next appointment Lanet? Xxxx

I'm normally great for getting blood but for some reason it wasn't happening on Friday..much better now tanks ;-) how are you doing?

I'm ok thanks, spent the weekend with one of my closest friends who lives about 1.5hr drive away, she's just had her 2nd baby (a boy) and her daughter is 2yrs. It's been fun packed and busy so time has passed quickly. I love spending time with them but I'd be lying if I said it wasnt hard coming home to a quiet childfree house. Sometimes I like coming back to the peace and quiet but not this time. This time it just made me sad So so hope that one or both of my embryos have implanted over the last couple of days (I'm 6dp2dt) but i dont 'feel pregnant'

good to hear you're feeling a bit better hun xx xx

Ah it does get very emotional seeing family or friends with their children and its a lot harder when ur full of additional hormones.. Keep as positive as you possibly can and plenty of relaxing.
Have you got any symptoms at all?, on crinone gels?

T4b the Epsom salt can only get rid of fluid if it is in your veins so you can pee it out. The fluid in the ovaries or abdomen has to be sucked back into your veins first. High sodium and protein can do that. I had a moderate/severe case though. I couldn't lay down and had to sleep sitting up for nearly 2 weeks.

Ah really... Maybe ill dose the bath full and hope for the best, might lose some weight in the process lol I'd say you were worn out. The night and morning after I was crippled in pain, couldn't move at all I dosed myself with feminex. Never thought of ohss until the pain wasn't going. How did you get through all that pain ? Xx

I've got sore boobs/nipples and I keep getting dizzy when I stand up plus occasional nausea, but I had the exact same thing last time and wasn't pregnant then, so I'm not putting any hope in those symptoms. Im on cyclogest progesterone pessaries twice a day. Ive not heard of crinone gels are they the same thing? xxxx

 

[lanet]

T4b, it was the most miserable time of my life. Scary and horrible. I never want to experience it again! So u just got through it bc I had no choice!
Yes the Epsom salt can't hurt so go for it! I also drank dandekion tea, it's a diuretic. Not sure if it helped but it felt like it may have.
Jungle how many days in are you now?
I started antibiotics and steroids today, and I start pio injections tonight. I'm getting excited!!

Crinone® vaginal gel: use one 'applicatorful' daily into the vagina. Just use it on the days of the month your doctor has told you to.
Cyclogest® pessaries: use twice daily on the days of the month your doctor has told you to. Pessaries are generally designed to be inserted into the vagina, but Cyclogest® pessaries are also suitable to be inserted into the back passage, as a suppository. If you are unsure which is the correct way for you to use them, check again with your doctor.

Turns out they're the same

You poor luvvy, all the symptoms anyways, I wouldn't compare to last time because its more the hormones that are giving you all of them and then there's those shows that used to be on telky, didn't know I was pregnant and went into labour. I'm sure everyone is different... I really am praying ur embie sticks.. That's all it has to do... I do keep telling myself its such an easy process... Were all getting the best pick of the bunch, there getting put in to the exact place it needs to be and not even travel down the fallopian tubes so STICK!! ♥❇♥❇♥ I knows its so easy me saying all this you know urself hunni. But we all need to keep our spirits up ♥♥

 

[trying4babies]

Omg that's some differnce .. God luv ya ♥

 

[trying4babies]

I'll try the tea too thanks

I know hun, it might not sound like it but I'm definitely not moping around! I talk to my belly every day and so does OH giving words of encouragement. Whatever happens between now and then, I will be hoping and praying that the nurse says 'positive' when we call for our results on saturday. I hope everyone on this thread is pregnant very very soon and we can move onto the 1st tri boards xxxx

My goodness lanet, that does look severe! Did anyone comment that you looked pregnant? That wouldve been an added kick in the teeth given the circumstances! Hopefully youll have a bump that big in a few months xxx

 

[lanet]

Haha I didn't leave these house bc 1. I was scared someone would ask that! And 2. I could barely walk!
Wow your test day will be the day after my transfer, it's coming up!!!!

 

[trying4babies]

Please god we all have bumps very soon.. It'd be the icing on the cake for me and the DH. I want one every year for the next 6yrs not asking for much lol

Haha! I've not had OHSS but the bloating at various points in this cycle has made me feel like none of my clothes fit and someones bound to say something at work... right now ive got my shorts undone in fact!

Yes by lunchtime on saturday we'll know! Xxx
