AQ- glad EC will be in the morning, I will be bad enough but if I had to wait I'd crack big time!!!
Chill out sharkey - don't over do things. Take the car to a car wash!

thanx hunny, i know not long at all now!!!! hope ur keeping well hunny xxx

 

[Lindylou]

Was this your 2nd cycle Laura25? Xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Sharkey- Whilst dr you will get AF and after that you are scanned and then usually the lining is thin enough to start stimms. When u need it to be thick in run up to ec just eat lots of chocolate as it really does the trick ;-) You can get a ticker from websites such as lilypie or ticker factory. Then when you have made it there will be a few diff codes. You need to copy the img code and then paste into your signature on here. I would preview it first to make sure its worked out and then save an hey presto u have a ticker ;-) Good luck for starting jabs tomorrow x

Lindy- DHEA is a health supplement you can buy online but nothing has been proven with it. It just seems to help some women so dont worry about not having it x

Right im off to bed and glad to say that tomorrow should be my last fostimon jab if trigger is going to be monday night woohooo! Nite god bless all xxx

 

[BabydustxXx]

Help ladies, the damn witch arrived this morning. I started stims last night so this should not be happening should it? I cant even ring the HC, im so scared they will abandon this cycle. Please help

 

[africaqueen]

Yasmine- Stay calm hun. I know so hard, but iv done some research for you and apparantly its not unheard of to get af during stimms and all that would happen is that they keep you stimming for longer to build up womb lining again ;-) i know not ideal but at least your still in for this cycle I have had a shocking morning myself if u read below u will see why! lol. Cant believe it as i was doing so well x

just had my 1st meltdown since this cycle began! Mixed the cetrotide, had needle all ready and checked for air bubbles(seemingly) an then injected into my tummy. Had injected half the solution when i spotted a big air bubble in syringe so panicked, pulled needle out, flicked bubble away quickly and then injected the rest of the cetrotide. There was a gap of about 2 secs so im thinking this will be ok? iv just spoken to my diabetic friend who has injected for yrs and she said not to worry as i will of still had full dose even though it was injected twice? also as i panicked and pulled needle out a tiny bit of liquid leaked out? I am so glad im almost due to finish jabbing as i am not very confident now after this xxx

 

[MrsE75]

Sharky - DHEA is totally experimental they have done no research at HC so pla don't worry they've not recommended it I was told off the record as they have to be careful but they suggested that they were going to start research in not too distant future. Perhaps after the fold trial currently running there sure they can't have too many going on at once.

I was given www.biovea.com and was told I needed 25mg 3 x per day. At this stage I don't have a clue if it will help or not so I really would do some research yourself there are loads of articles online about it as with anything there are side effects. I've got a few like greasy/spotty skin and hair is greasy roots and seriously dry ends and fluffy! Driving me mad but if that's all then I can take it. So i feel really good - no eggs, spots, greasy, fluffy hair and my tummy is a pin cushion - lol!! You can't take DHEA for ever only recommended for a couple of months though from what I've read.

Ultimately the decision was mine to take it or not and I decided to go with it after reading rafts of material online.

LindyLou - DHEA is food supplement that some research has suggested it helps women with low AMH/ egg reserve and poor quality eggs. It's not available on prescription in UK. Loads of info online about it but I'm in no way suggesting everyone should take it.

Funny cos I asked the specialist about if he thought acupuncture would help me and he said there is always some who think it works and some who don't - so I think it just depends on which doctor you get to a large extent!!

[Lindylou]

AQ- I have to inject people everyday ( it is very very different to injecting yourself though!!) don't worry about stopping and then continuing. Sometimes I have to do that if children wriggle or need to adjust position for whatever reason so don't panic. You did the right thing HOpe this helps. Also losing a tiny amount of fluid is better than carrying on with a bubble and the amount you probably lost is
Minuscule. Xxxx

Babydust- I would keep going with meds and contact them first thing. Is there an emergency number?? I will see what I can find out for you.

Sharkey- good luck for today. What time are you injecting? You will be fine. Just take your time and inject slowly.

Xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Thanks for helping put my mind at rest Lindy i have calmed down a little now but omg i was in panic mode an iv been calm the past few days! lol. x

Yasmine- Inbox me your mobile number x

xxx

 

[MrsE75]

Babydust - as AQ said don't panic just keep going and then call HC tomorrow and I'm sure it will all be ok.

AQ - you too I'm sure it doesn't matter on but that you injected twice just as long as you did the injection. Regarding a bit leaking a friend I mine on her 2nd IVF cycle lost a bit of fluid a couple of times and she's now 5 mths pregnant so I'm sure again it will not matter too much you already have more follies than last time so it's all going well just stay positive. The important injection is too come hopefully tomorrow x

Have a great Sunday ladies x

 

[africaqueen]

Thanks MrsE its funny how iv been so calm since fri scan an now melt down! lol. Oh well all jabs will be finished soon so i can then be a little calm before 2ww! Eeeek! How are u feeling? its hard to keep pma all the time but we must do our best to help our bodies do their best xxx

 

[Lindylou]

Babydust- I'm sorry , I cannot find anything other than the likes of us discussing it. Keep going and call tomorrow. Xxxx try not to worry- I am sure that like AQ says you will probably just have to keep stimming longer and maybe higher dose. Xxxx sending you love and hugs. Xxxx

AQ- what happens if day 5 transfer is best and that falls on a Saturday or Sunday? Do they still do them or is the HC totally closed other thanks Sat morning?

Xxxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Lindy- It seems to be rare the HC do a 5dt to be honest. Its mostly 3dt in most cases unless there is a high amount of embies an they are all doing well. If a 5dt was to land on a sunday then they would just do a 3 or 4dt instead as clinic is closed on a sunday. xxx

 

[Sharkey]

Laura25, good luck with the birth )) Hopefully everyone on here will get there BFP very soon x x

AQ, I wouldn't worry about a tiny bit of the cetrotide coming out as It's ur last day & ur body will of soaked plenty In )) Thanks for the Info on the chocolate, looks like I have an excuse to eat It now, hahaha Will try that signature thing later ) x x x

MrsE75, thank you for all the Info on DHEA!! We've decided that It's to late to buy some now as I started DR this morning.... If I ever need any then I will know where to get some x x x

LindyLou, Good morning to you x x x

AFM, well the first Injection went smoothly ) The other half woke me up @ 7am eager to get It done, haha We've decided to do it around 7am each morning as my partner goes to work between 6:30-7:30 x We are off out for some Sunday lunch In a bit x x

Hope you girls have a relaxing day coz you deserve It ) x x x

Babydust, listen to what AQ Is saying I am sure It will all work out for you x x x

 

[africaqueen]

Thanks Sharkey and im sure your right about my body having soaked lots in. Still have 1 more cetrotide jab tomorrow an then should be all systems go for trigger! Well done on getting 1st jab out the way. I prefer doing them myself now so dh didnt get a look in altho i did allow him to mix the first lot! haha. Have a lovely lunch. Im off to have lunch with my dad soon as dh is working today xxx

 

[BabydustxXx]

Thank you so much for all the reassurance, my accupunturist said the same. I will be ringing the clinic first thing tomorrow. One thing i did read was that i had to put my feet up and take it easy and i will be making sure i show that to dh.

Sarah dont worry too much about injecting twice as long as you got most, like Sharkey said you have absorded most of it.

Sharkey well done on the first injection, now your over that hurdle it will be much easier.

 

[Lindylou]

Well done sharkey! You are on your way now I do the myself as well but do let dh draw up the buserrilin!
AQ - I will ask them tomorrow about blastocyte transfer- See how
Positive I'm tryin to be

Babydust- keep positive!

All enjoy Sunday lunch and a good rest!!

Xxxxx
