Hi ladies, just a quick question - trying to decide whether to phone my clinic or not :S I've done 3 days of stims now and am due for a scan on Thursday to check how things are going (I'm on a lower dose as at risk of ohss). Yesterday I was uncomfortable, kept telling dh i could 'feel' my ovaries working, but today it's getting really sore feel very uncomfortable and getting pains quite frequently, when I coughed earlier it was so sore. Is this normal? Sorry if I'm being pathetic - first ivf and not sure what's good or bad!

I felt things 'working' at 4 days of stims and by 5-6 i was bloated and sore-ish... I'd give a call just to play it safe if youre at risk of OHSS... Especially since by thursday you'll be MUCH more bloated and sore. Aren't they checking your blood daily or every other day?

That's what I'm worrying about...if it's painful today how bad will it be after another 3? I haven't had my blood checked yet, I won't until Thursday now. Are they supposed to monitor it more?

I guess every clinic is different but i had bloods done every day or two... because they want to make sure you're not developing too fast. Where do u live? I'd DEFINITELY ask to come in... ask for sono and bloods.

I'm in NE England, my clinic is an hour away I gave them a phone and spoke to a nurse and a doctor. Basically they said not to be too worried as it may just be me feeling things 'starting' and as long as I'm feeling normal otherwise it's nothing to worry about. They did say to phone back if the pain intensifies or becomes more frequent and they'll get me in for a scan. So I guess I'll just sit tight for now! Thanks for responding so quickly BabyD

of course RAF! I'm sitting on my computer at work and I leave babyandbump open.. more interesting than my projects!

 

[Sunshine24]

RAF- dont worry about seeming like you are being overly cautious by calling and insisting you come in ( if thats what you feel you must do )

My doc wanted to see me every two days while I was on stims, although I do know every clinic, and person, is different.

Make sure you're drinking tons of water and if you feel you need to be seem, advocate for yourself--you know your body best!!!

I was a tiny bit sore and bloated, but nothing like I expected to be, although every cycle and every woman is so different.

 

[RAFwife]

BabyD haha that made me laugh!!

Sunshine thanks, they didn't seem worried on the phone which put me at ease a little, but you're right - this is my body and our shot at a family and if I'm unhappy then I will insist that I be seen. Finding it difficult to get comfy, feels better when I'm moving. I'm drinking 3-4 litres of water a day so lots of bathroom breaks for me!!

[ttcbaby117]

Cali and Mells - please let me know what you think of the book. It has really helped me through some of the rough times of LTTTC

ASH - ugh, soooo jealous you are going to the borgata! I love that place!

 

[africaqueen]

Pcct- Wow your clinic scans you early. Ours wont do it until 7wks as they know they will defo see a heartbeat by that stage. Bet you cant wait x

Mamali- I am so sorry for your loss. Hope your feeling a little better. Your Aunt will help god send your miracle god willing. Glad they gave you something to bring on af. Soon be all systems go! x

Sams- Welcome to our thread and best of luck with your 2ww! x

Flower- OHSS is most likely after EC and even more likely if you get pregnant. Drinking lots of fluids helps prevent it and also milk iv heard is good for prevention x

RaF- Hope your ok x

Hi to all the gang x

AFM- No letter or call from the pct yet. I am getting so frustrated and my sleep pattern is shot with the stress so hope they tell us soon. A simple yes or no is all i want. Maybe tomorrow... xxx

 

[pcct]

Hey AQ am getting scammed early due to tubal history they just want to make sure the baby is in the right place

 

[Samsfan]

Ash. I told my DH that he is to wait on me hand and foot until March 22nd.

How are you feeling?

Welcome Sam! How is being PUPO treating you? Are you having your DH wait on you?
