Forums New posts
Hey ladies - wow so much going on, I'm not great at checking in everyday but I have been thinking of you all :flower:

Sammy - sending you lots of :hugs: I hope you're ok :flower:

Wrighty - wow sounds like you've got lots of lovely eggies growing , not long now till EC :happydance:

MrsF - I'm sure you'll get that extra mm by Wednesday :hugs: I've read about pineapple too, I'm gonna aviod it after ET just incase.

Doodar - YAY you're PUPO :happydance:

Mercyme - hope AF shows soon, AF was about 5 days late for me whilst I was downregging - are you down regging at the moment?

Good luck to everyone on the 2ww, those waiting for EC and everyone waiting to start treatment.

I had my down regging scan today and all looking good, they called me this afternoon and told me to start stimming tonight! So I've had my first stimming jab this evening :happydance: can't believe how quick the past couple of weeks has gone, if all going well I'm guessing I might have EC this time in 2 weeks :happydance:
 
Megg - You read right. AF will get here sometime next week and then I'll start the birth control for three weeks. I really hope it clears up my skin!

MrsF - that smoothie sounds yummy! I'll have it!

For anyone running out of Xanax - ever try diphenhydramine aka Benadryl? That sometimes helps people relax and it's safe in pregnancy and since some of you are in the PUPO stage maybe that's an option

Sammy - you ok?
 
Well, I don't know how I'm ever going to get anywhere since the clinic keeps saying they've called in my Provera but the pharmacy knows nothing of it!
 
Am very excited to see all the activity on the board, even if I can't keep up. It looks like so many people are on the move, at various stages of IVF this month. Isn't it cool? I'm feeling the momentum...[/QUOTE]

I couldnt agree more, I love the excitement and postivity on this board :hugs:

Britt - aarrgghhhhh, i;ve lost my place on the thread just as i was coming to you!!! How goes it bud? Where are you in the cycle of stuff?? x x x

ahh thanks MrsF, okay just enjoying seeing everyone going through their stuff, I start BCP after this cycle so I will be one of the lasts- ET is scheduled for either Dec 3rd or 6th, so I will know before Christmas.
wishing everyone loads of luck :dust:
 
So much happening on this thread. Thinking of you Sammy hope your ok x

I start down reg on 17th Oct whilst I'm on holiday in Spain.

Loads of luck to everyone x
 
Hey ppl- Stimming continues for me but I got a horrible stomach upset yesterday. I kept throwing up and ultimately had to take a pill to stop the vomiting. This is scaring me a bit cos I get very bad vomiting attacks where it jys does not stop and the last time it happened to me was after my Lap as a reaction to GA. I am wondering if the GA administered for EC will be as strong and what side effects I can expect.

Springflower- I understand u getting negative in 2 ww. It always happens to me. The problem is that in the first half of the treatment there r so many things hapenning all together. It keeps u busy. But in 2ww there is nothing to do. Its like an exam. You stress before an exam and feel relieved when it gets over. But the stress starts when the exam result is around the corner. All these treatments are so tough mentally:sad2:

Wrighty- As I see this is ur second IVF. Was ur first a short protocol too. I am extremely surprised at the response u n I have got on a short protocol. I am wondering how a long protocol helps? If its the no. of follicles then I dont think I would have wanted more follies than 20. Is there some co-relation with the eggs collected?

Mrs F- I am also on oestrogen supplements. You lining looks pretty good. Mine is at 7mm at 9 day of stimming. What should be the ideal lining thickness at the time of ET? Will u continue the oestrogen through the cycle after ET also? These pills make me very drowsy and feel a bit lightheaded. Had a big prob with them in my last cycle which was an IUI. I am hoping the doc stops it after the ET

Doodar- What has the doc told you to do after ET? Does one have to be on bedrest os something? Was just wondering what are the things to avoid post transfer

Is anyone on baby asprin? My doc put me on baby asprin from 1st day of stimming. It gives me bad clots at the injection site though :wacko:

Having my morning coffee right now. Am dreading EC. Dunno how many eggs will come out of these follicles. Am also stressing if I am over stimulating. Dunno if 20 follies on short protocol are too many follies. Oh well!!!! :juggle:
 
Interesting article in the paper today- "New Test to help IVF hit bullseye"

looknomore - I'm on baby aspirin. But, on to more pressing matters... nausea and vomiting can be symptoms of OHSS. My specialist said that if I experienced either of them to go directly to emergency, tell them what medication I was taking and that I was under his supervision, and not to allow them to touch me unless he was there or they had just spoken to him on his cell phone. Please, take this seriously... OHSS can be very dangerous.
 
hello ladies

just a quick one for me as i have to go to liverpool to pick up my HCG injection for tonight. so they phoned me this morning and they think i am going to overstimulate so ec booked for 9am on thursady. no more stims and just done my last cetrotide so only 1 more jab to go.

looknomore - my last cycle was long protocol so im so surprised at whats going on with this cycle. i stimmed for 12 day on long and only 10 on this one and the docs are worried

hope you all have a lovely day xxx
 
Wow this thread is such a hive of activity it's hard to keep up but i'll try my best.

Looknomore I think 20 follies is fine for the short protocol, think I had slightly more and got 15 eggs so don't worry. Not every follicle will contain an egg so the more follies the more eggs. Good luck for EC hun. You'll be pupo before you know it. Agree with the whole hurdle thing. Every stage brings a new stress. Good Job we are strong women. Imagine the blokes going through this lol. My clinic just advised me to bed rest for one day and then brisk walks for the next day and rest of the week but nothing too strenuous, still taking it easy.

Spring flower, understand the negative feelings hun so don't worry about posting I'm sure every woman on here understands those feelings. :hugs:

Mysillygirls :hugs: sending pma vibes hun.x

Wrighty wow those follies are luuuuuurking good hunny. Good luck with hcg tonight and Ec thurs. You'll be pupo before you know it. It's so exciting :happydance:.

isi :hugs: hope the bloating settles hun. I wasn't convinced about the water either.

Mercy hope AF shows soon hun so you can get started. Clinic just said one day bed rest and then take it easy until you do pregnancy test. Eat as though are pregnant and avoid the foods that you need to when your pregnant. Oh and NO SEX until you test. I said until you test is that it, I say no sex until 12 weeks. The nurse laughed and hubby's face was a picture, but I was being deadly serious lol love it :happydance:. he even questioned if he heard right after we got home lol

maxxi and sammy :hugs: to you both.

Megg how you doing hun? glad you got script sorted and your on your way that CD1. Will be here for you every step of the way hunny :hugs:

Mrs F I'm sure those little embies are fighters hun. Good Luck. :hugs:. My clinic advised me to use a hot water bottle after EC think it was more for cramping but I have heard heat can increase the lining.

Missmonty yay for first jab. The journey has begun :hugs:

Britt :hugs:.

Hope thats everyone sorry if I missed anyone and :hugs: if I did.

AFM nothing to report really. Still taking it easy. No cramping nothing, don't really feel any different today than any other day. Other than these horrible little progeterone pessaries are making me constipated grrrrr!!!
 
I turn away for one moment and I have 15 pages to catch up on ha ha

Springflower,Sillygirls PMA!!!!

Isi, How are you on the DR drug?

Wrightwales Good luck for EC

For those that are waiting to start good luck

For those that are PUPO thinking of you!

And Sammy, I hope you are ok hun thinking of you xx

Well had EC yesterday, was ok still feeling a little crampy but it wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be.

I had a call from the clinic..... we had 8 eggs 5 have made it xx
 
Wrighty, I do hope you don't overstimulate hun. Good luck with EC on Thursday :hugs:. You're almost there. This time next week, you'll be PUPO :happydance:

Looknomore....20 is a great number! I also wish overstimulation far far away from you hun. Good luck with EC and ET!

Lyndsey, 5 fertilised eggs is awesome. When do you reckon you'll have ET? Praying you have a fantastic embie to transfer and other great ones to freeze :hugs:

Sammy....still thinking of you :hugs:

Doodar, congrats on being PUPO. I know this is the nerve wracking part, but just try to take it easy. Your story has been so inspiring so far, it just has to end well.

Megg, Britt, Maxi, Dilly, Mrs F, MSG....anyone I might have missed.....sending you lots of hugs in your various stages in this journey of ours.

Last night's injection wasn't as bad as the previous one, and the bloating has subsided today. But my hormones are still over the place. Was incredbly sad this morning....for no tangible reason. Feeling better now anyways.
 
I am kinda likin' my new MSG nickname :) heehee

I am on baby aspirin btw. MMMM...i forgot how good those taste. Back when I was a little kid (before people knew about the dangers of Reyes syndrome), my grandpa gave me baby aspirin for every minor ailment. LOL

They had me start it the day of EC. Also, anyone else using Vivelle patches? so, I have projesterone injections in the evening and Vivelle estradiol patches to be switched every other day...
 
hello ladies, so nice to read everyone's updates :hugs:
Its very cool to go through this journey with everyone.

I have a question for those of you who have done IVF before or have already transferred, did you gain any weight? I have heard that you almost instantaneously gain 10 pounds from all the meds?
I guess if you end up preggs it doesnt matter but if not hopefully its lost just as quickly.

:hugs:
 
I started my Provera last night.. but my chart suddenly looks like I"m just now 2dpo. If I did IUI and didn't ovulate until 2 days ago.. There aren't words to describe my anger over that idea.
