Ivf/Icis July/Aug Ninewells Hospital Dundee

[V2R]

Oh I'm spraying 8.30, 12, 4 then 9 I'm an early bedder. Lol. I've been good in remembering so far but that's only nearly 2nd day down lol xx

 

[Minno]

Good luck tomoro H. Everyone is different so you just never know
V, hope things settling for you. I have a touch of the trots, sorry! Lol hope that settles too! Xx

 

[V2R]

H4M been thinking about you...How did you get on? Hopefully you will be at home resting & there is a party going on in the lab

Oh no Minno I hope it settles down. My gums seem nearly back to normal. I'm expecting some side effects as it's not normal to be spraying stuff up a nose! lol. I'm excited to get the weeks passed I think I'm better mentally prepared this time so hopefully it will make a difference. How are you feeling about it all? xx

 

[H4M]

Thanks for all your kind words.
V2R glad you seem a bit better just a take it easy and if any worries just phone hospital.
Well today went ok, was feeling very nervous when waiting to be seen and was worried about it all, it wasn't too bad though and can't remember much of it, when I came out of theatre though my stomach was really sore and took a while to calm down, I also got very emotional too for some reason!!
We spoke to Philip the embryologist before we left and my DH sperm count wasn't as high as they would have liked but there was good ones there so they have decided to do ICSI, it's worried me a bit but he said there is more chance of it working... And seemed a lot more positive about this, Need to look a bit more into this. Since I've come home I've basically slept !!! Now I have a very anxious wait... Need to try stay positive!!
Oh they managed to collect 13 eggs from me !!!!
Hope your all doing ok xx

 

[Minno]

Yay H2M, 13 eggs is an amazing result! Well done you! Now it's just a waiting game and that's the hardest bit. Are they going to give you a call in the morning? I am going to be keeping everything crossed for you

V, glad things are settling down. I just want to be getting on with it and of course am a bit worried the donor might pull out but got to just play it out and hope for the best. I'm glad it's Xmas soon and I have some time off to relax. Looking forward to making a nice day of it on 23rd for scan and then going shopping with Hubbie and Xmas lunch
Not long before we all know our fate eh girls... Xxx

 

[H4M]

Thanks Minno, they managed to inject only 7 as the other 6 weren't mature enough, but this morning 6 have fertilised so I'm trying to keep everything crossed that even a couple are still strong enough! I have to go in on Saturday morning for the transfer... Now I just need to pray pray and even more pray this all works!! (I'm not religious) lol xx
Try not to worry yourself too much I'm sure the doner has come this far too I don't think she will pull out now, so keep strong, not long now for all of us.. Now just a waiting game 😔 hate waiting! If I knew in the end it was going to be a BFP I'd be fine....xx

 

[V2R]

Goodmorning thats fantastic news 6 is great I'm keeping everything crossed that they keep growing you should get a very good egg out of 6. Do you know if they are transferring one or two eggs? Sat is not long away. Have you taken a few days off work?

Well this morning I feel I have a dodgy stomach! I'm trying to ignore it.

Hopefully this will go smoothly for you Minno I would be surprised if the donor pulled out as she will be a regular egg donor. So you get scanned on 23rd do you know what happens then? Will the egg be planted straight into you or do you need to do any other treatment like injections?

Good Luck Ladies....After all this wait we are all eventually on the road to hopefully having our wee bundles of joy xx

 

[H4M]

I'm kind of hoping we get one too, then it'll be the worry when they transfer it back into me ... I'm such a worrier if you haven't all guessed by now. Think it'll be one, unless there isn't one that is very strong they may put two back but they suggest just one, I'm off work today, thinking I may go back tomorrow I'm feeling a lot more myself today, my poor DH seems to be getting tonsillitis now.... Just what we need 😔!!
Hope your tummy is feeling a bit better, just relax and take it easy xx

 

[Funfair1980]

Hie ladies

Had a lot of posts to catch up on. Happy belated birthday V2R and how is the down regging now, hope you not getting side effects.

H4M what a good number of eggs you got keep praying they keep getting stonger ad the days progress Sat is round the corner for you to be Pupo.

Minno I Don think Donner can pull out this time around coz she has done half the treatment so far.

Wish you all the best ladies. My wee man has been giving me pains in my abdomen lately we getting heavier now.

Hi girls x
Sorry to jump on in but I am sitting here a nervous wreck, quick story, Dh and i started ivf cycle at ninewells in November, i started sniffing the spray day 2 due to pretty irregular cycles, hae been stimming for 12 days today and going back in tomorrow for another scan to see if follies have grown. I was in on Friday, all was looking great, went back in yesterday but only one follie at 18, a few at 14, some at 11 and 12 the rest all 10 and under. I was on 150 menopur for the 1st 10 days but monday night and tonight 225 to see if it will make the follies grow. Nurses have tried to prepare me for possible cancellation if no change as you all know last ec will be this friday for the year! I basically wondered if anyone has heard of stims getting upped for a couple of days that has made any difference. Sorry for the rant but my anxiety is through the roof.

Fyi, cant put a signature as just joined, but been ttc for over 8 years, lost 2 singletons, twins and dd at 20 weeks last year. Had everything from clomid, iui, but now ivf.

Good luck to you and thanks for listening xx

 

[H4M]

Thanks funfair, hope your pains aren't too sore and they settle down xx

Chi mama, I'm really sorry I've not got any advice for you, I really hope things improve for tomorrow though and you don't get cancelled, I'll be thinking about you and have everything crossed, really sorry to hear about your losses too, try stay positive for tomorrow xx

Hi chi, welcome to b&b... I silently stalk this thread rooting for the girls to get there bfp thro ninewells... I had my ivf at ninewells too I was Hoping to chat via private message but it's not letting me ( I think with you just being a new member ) hey ho....

I would just like to tell you a little a bit about my cycle.. I done egg share with Dundee, and I was on 175 gonal f and I stimmed for 10 days too come my scan I only had 1 big enough follicle ( not too sure on size it's all on my first page of my ivf journal ) anyway the nurse gave me a extra 2 days and hoped that the smaller ones would catch up... Some tips I would love to give you that helped me... I drank loads of full fat milk until I got to the car park lol I always put a warm not hot .. Hot water bottle where my follicles are grown .. The nurse did prepare us for it possibly being canceled! But then came my next scan and all my little ones grewwwww I even grew a extra 3 ( I think it was ) my best advice is to try stay as positive as u can!! I know it's hard but doing this it will help... All tho try to visualise your follicles grown too, even talking to them telling them to move there butt lol sounds crazy but telling your body to do something is better than worrying and stoping it hey!

I wish u all the luck in the world!

 

[Chi mama]

Thank u so so much for replying, i also tried to private mail you back but did not have the option? Weird.

I see you have your little one now, thats amazing! Egg sharing, not something i have thought about?

I am so nervous about being cancelled tomorrow, last ec for the year is friday this week, so if they haven't grown they will cancel, i am chit chatting to the follies and hubby talking away too haha, but i am at the point where i will really try anything. My tummy is really swollen, hoping thats a good sign, will let you know how it goes, i am in at lunch tomorrow ( travelling from central) been up 2-3 times a week its been hard going xxx

Thank you I hadn't thought about egg share too, in fact I didn't even no a thing about it until I first got chatting to minno as she was awaiting a egg donor and I looked Into it with Dundee and that's what we done, sadly the other couple couldn't countuine the day of egg collection!
We too traveled quite far to get to the clinic and was there quite a lot! I really hope u get great news tomorrow and they have growwwwwn!!!

I just looked back on my journal and like u I only had 1 big one that was at 18mm the rest couldn't be counted for.. But the extra 2 days made the 18 go to 20 and the small ones all big too I really have a good feeling for tomorrow for u x

 

[Chi mama]

Thanks very much, i will put an update on when i get home tomorrow, i had one 18' a couple 14s and a few under that then a few under 10, i hope going up on the drugs for the two days have made a difference.

Egg sharing, what a fantastic thing to do for someone else! You must be so proud the fact you helped someone and you got your miracle too, i do feel karma has a weird way of working and that everything happens for a reason!

Thanks again for the reply, i actually feel a little better as i felt like a failure and i do t even know the result, i will be praying tonight!

Lots of love x

 

[pcct]

Wow all your sizes really are just the same as what mine were :0 I have a good feeling and will be thinking of you

Thank you so much and yes I have the same thoughts too, amd everything does happen for a reason!

Do not feel u have failed u haven't! You a very strong person on a crazy roller coaster
