Sorry to hear that Africa Fingers cross things pick up in the next few days and you get some strong eggies


Out of interest how long is the wait between PIE and the joint consultation before the worldwind happens?

 

[susiesue]

Hi Africa, I am so sorry to hear about what happened at your scan, I can't believe it!!! Have they increased your dose of menopur? I did have to stimm for 3 extra days and they did grow quite a lot in that time. I think you have made the right decision to go ahead, it is about quality not quantity, you are young and there is no reason why you won't have healthy eggs, so there is still every chance for you. I had poor fertilisation and against the odds I had 2 embies to transfer so please don't give up hope. We are all here for you and praying for your miracle, stay strong. Lots of love and hugs xxxxxx

Africaqueen - so sorry to hear your poor response but sounds like they have still chance to grow. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

i've been very emotional stimming this time. i keep bursting into tears. i'm so tired too. i hope i have some follicles on tuesday when i go.
i think our joint consultation was about eight weeks from information evening.

laura - hope your feeling better.

jane - how are you feeling?

hello to everyone else x x x x

Well girls its not very good news from me im afraid Went for my scan this morning and i have had a VERY poor response on my left ovary there are 4 follies. 1 is 21mm, 2 are 10mm and 1 is 8mm. On the right side there is nothing at all
Nurse went and spoke to a Dr, came back in and said we can either cancel the cycle at this stage as chances are we would only get 2-3 eggs at most or we can go to EC. We have opted to go to EC as we would be wasting the cycle otherwise and at least we have a tiny chance then. DH and i are so upset but trying to cling onto what the nurse said which is- all we need is one decent egg and for it to fertilise and become a embryo and we have the same chance as someone who got 20 eggs. I just need to cling onto that but i am not a fool and i know our chances have dropped dramatically. So i have been given another 3 amps of menopur for tomorrow and i take the trigger shot on sunday with EC on tuesday. Nurse said she is really hoping the 3 smaller follies would of grown by then, hence the reason EC is tue and not mon. Please pray for me girls. Going to need a miracle here more than ever now xxx

hey hunni!!!
Awwwwww am so sorry to hear that but i defo think that you are doing the right thing by going ahead!! Hopefully the other follies will hav a huge growth spurt and catch up!!! As all the other ladies have said and the nurse, you only need one to fertilise and am sure you will have that!!
Will have EVERYTHING crossed for you luvly and we are all here for you!!

Lisa- Thank you. I am very upset but praying for a miracle. If we didnt go to EC it would be one NHS cycle done. Its the meds that count as the majority of the cost so once cycle has gone through it is used up regardless of if there is a EC, hence the reason we are going ahead or we would of cancelled and started again so not to waste it xxx

awww im sorry to hear this hunny! but dnt give up!!! u only need one!!! i got quite a few but in the end only ended up wiv one!!! miracles deffo happen hun!!! im going to pray it works 4 u hunny!!! keep positive!!!! im made up u went ahead wiv it hun i would of deffo done the same theres no point wasting a cycle when u have a good chance, and u do they realy only need one to be a lil fighter!!! ive got my fingers and toes crossed 4 u hunny!!! sending u loads of babydust hunny!!! keep smiling!!! xxx

Africa I just wanted to echo what everyone else said you are absolutely doing the right thing. The one egg you have sounds like a cracker though to fingers, toes and legs crossed for you. Try not to get stressed cos you need to be nice and calm for transfer so they feel nice and snug.

Keep us all posted and yep it only takes one fighter. Lots of hugs to you and your eggs.

Thank you for support and pma girls.
I must admit i am feeling very low today. Only just got out out bed and dh is at work and super low too we had such high hopes of this working and now our chances are so reduced its just so unfair. I just needed this chance after all i have been through
I just pray the tiny chance that we have gives us our embie and hopefully BFP.

Susie- They never increased my menopur. Iv been on 3 amps right through and as i only had enough amps left for yesterday they gave me 3 more amps for today and then thats the end of stimming. Take burserlin tomorrow at 6 and then trigger shot at 9.30pm and thats that x

I got my EC time. Its at 9.30am on Tuesday so please anyone who has any religious belief please pray for me. Need all the help we can get xxx

Melbram- Our joint cons meeting was about 8-9wks after PIE but that was due to the delay with me not being immune to rubella so as long as your bloods are all fine then you should get a appt a lot faster than that x

 

[Lisa40]

Awww africa.

So sorry you are having a low time, I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. Just try & hold on to that hope that you have. There is still a good chance, that one follicle was huge & I'm not religious myself but I completely respect others beliefs & so I'll still say a prayer for you, can't hurt after all hey

I do believe in PMA though so I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you on Tuesday... actually, I'll start now *You will get a great EC... You will get a great EC.. You will get a great EC... & then they'll fertilise & implant fine & you'll have a wonderful baba in 9 months time*

So all you have to do now is make sure you have a good snuggle with your DH when he comes home from work, have a nice chilled time together because for the next 18 years you won't be able to (hope I've not stepped out of line here... I generally try & lift the sadness with some humour, but I know this isn't everyones cup of tea)

lots of and sticky coming your way
xxxxx
