Afternoon ladies
I went for my scan this morning with Grace. (day 7) I have 12 follicles in my right side and some in my left BUT as we know these might not mean anything. They might all be poor.
But hopefully something good might come out of it. She seemed okay with the results and didn't say anything that we need to be concerned about. I had another blood test today and they are calling me later to let me know about my medication if it needs to be decreased or increased. I had one follicle that's gone a bit mad and too big which wouldn't be used so have a feeling I might be reduced as I was on the highest medication.
I have another scan on Wednesday & Friday and a pretiction of my collection on Monday 27th but I suppose that will get more confirmed this week.
Injections have been going okay. I still can't do them - my partner does them every night for me.
I have been up and down this weekend. Major tears on Saturday day over nothing. Hey hoo
Fiona - sounds like you have been resting your body as much as possible and good for you girl. How much time did you have off in total or you still off work now ?
Not sure how much time to take off myself but I will be doing something so simular and just walking about like a old lady and not doing a thing.
Sorry you have put on a stone but like you said your not too bothered if you get that positive result at the end but I need to say thank god you told me that !
I am so bloated at the moment and look bigger in my thighs/tummy. Not going to jump on the scale yet though as I know weight is pilling on.
If you dont mind me asking how comes on of the eggs was 'fragmented' ? Is it just one of them things or did it happen when you had the transfer ?
Also this Blastocyst Transfer - was you offered this ? And if you dont mind me asking what was your option going for this if you did ?
I need to sign a Consent form if I am offered it because I am under 30 (29 years old) and it's against there health regulations.
Just a tad confused on that one.
Thanks for the update on the hot water bottle, I did purchase one but I am sweating like anything at night so dont think I could handle one at the moment.
And the Egg transfer isn't as bad as a smear ! You are music to my ears Fiona.
I can't belive you will find out next week if it's worked ! Can you imagine ! I am so keeping everything crossed for you xxx
Monkey - I promise you things will get better emotionally. I was like you with the emotions and tears but I have a feeling it will be fine and it wont be delayed another month.
Hope your okay - remember the positives - we are in great hands and Grace and the doctor's will have to work round you. Even if your medication will have to slow down or speed up.
When you go today you will feel better I just know it.
So bascailly if Mr Haloob isnt about the other doctor can do the Egg Collections / Transfer for you?
With regards to your follicles you are right in what you are saying and about the sizes but dont forget you might have more than a couple.
I had 12 in my right side today and when I went before the treatment I only had 5 so it's amazing what the drugs can do. They will monitor and put you on the right dosage to ensure it goes smoothly.
Like I said 1 of my follicles is at size 12 already so we can't use that one. So I am using smaller ones for next week too.
But it's not about how many you have it's about how good the quality of that 1 is. So you really only need 1 decent one - not loads
Grace is lovely and I think she has to give you the negatives as well as the positives. But if she said you can go ahead with it still on this cycle you will be fine
Hope your okay chick
Chin up - after seeing Grace I do hope you feel better
Lots of love
