Hi ladies

I've had my blood work done for hep, HIV & rubella, and all the relevant testing so hopefully either this Thursday or shortly after that I'll get to sign those consent forms to get things moving as all the funding is literally just waiting for us to use.

 

[Kelly9]

You're 3 days ahead of me, mine is scheduled for july 2 but who knows now that I took more meds then I was suppose to. I'm hoping to keep it for july 2, works best for me. How long do you usually stim longer for? a day or two? We could end up being super close! I am so terrified of collection, it hurt last time. Trying to do everything I can to avoid thinking about it, so it's been working.

Scan tomorrow bright and early, left charger for laptop with chris on the other side of the country

Sad news from me ladies.
Dh and i have split up (( utterly devastated. We split on saturday but hadnt wanted to say anything incase we could of resolved it but sadly not as things have gone too far and we have had so much heartache and anger in our lives since we have been married that it has destroyed us. We arent the same people anymore. We are both so bitter and hateful. He is in the process of looking for a flat so he will be moving out soon and sadly as well as my marriage being over so is my chance of being a mother. Heartbreaking all round. I obviously have no place here now so wanted to wish you all best of luck and say good bye. Thank you all for supporting me for so long. I am just devastated its the end of my journey. xxxx

Update: UGH!

Bah! Scan day did not go well. Very disappointing given the high standards set from the last cycle. I've got 10 follies (last time I had about 15 at this point) but only 4 are worth noting at the moment. The clinic has upped my dose to 300 units this time I got it right from the doctors mouth! So they're hoping that will give my ass a kicking and get the other follies growing plus have a few more pop up. They started me lower this cycle due to the OHSS last time so they think thats why I'm lagging, they figure my threshold was somewhere between that starting dose and this one. It sucks. I'll be happy if we can get 15 eggs though and if we do hopefully it will lower my chances of getting OHSS this time. Next scan thursday. Please think eggy growing thoughts.

Ok so after 6 days of stims (about) how many follies did you all have and for those who've had collection how many did you end up getting? I'm a little worried.

 

[~Hope~]

Yikes, isn't it funny how the numbers are everything and then you just forget what on earth they were! Erm I think at my first scan which would be day 7 of Stims I had a handful of follies and maybe 3-4 that looked like growers, no where near collection sizes. I stimmed for 14 days and ended up having 13 eggs collected but I think only 8 or 9 of those were mature. Ended up with two in my tum and three in the freezer.

Remember it's quality you want not quantity and sometimes slow and steady wins the race. They're right to play with your dosage as you do not want OHSS again.

Stay positive. grow follies grow

St here's some follie growing dust for you too

did anyone here have icsi due to low sperm morph xx

 

[~Hope~]

Hello, we did. Hubby had quite a good count but only about 4% normal forms. Icsi did the trick

 

[Kelly9]

I know that hope but it's so disheartening. I'm not overly worried about sizes cause I know the range was about that with my last cycle, I just hope a few more follies pop up. I only stimmed 10 days last time coasted for 1 at doses varying between 150 and 112.5 of gonal F. I think I ended up with 18 follies and 20 eggs last time so hopefully a few of those 10 follies have two eggs in them. I just remember there being 16-17 follies between to two sides at day 7 last time not 10. My right ovary is my better functioning one to, I always get more from that side then my lazy left side.

 

[~Hope~]

They'll pop up don't you worry. Just keep a positive mind frame and they'll grow. Try and rest too if you can, I had a growth spurt when I had a lazy couple of days in the middle of stimming.
