Oh, I'm doing OK, thank you
Actually, I have a quick question for you - since you also recently had ER. Mine was on Wednesday (also had 14 eggies, of which 12 were mature enough for ICSI and of those 12, 11 were confirmed as fertilised).. I was wondering how you were after ER? I have been extremely swollen and although the soreness is getting better (sitting is not that bad any more), moving, getting up, sitting down - is still quite uncomfortable and I still am very swollen. How was it for you?
The ET will be on Monday (we're having two put back in - provided the 5 they didn't freeze are developing nicely)
Baby - I am on topomax; I take 50mg in the morning and 50mg at night. When I weaned off them for my 1st IVF, my headaches were awful! The topomax has done wonders with weight loss too, so that has been a bonus! I am dreading stopping it this time around again, but whatever I need to do to get my BPF, I will do it. The hormones make my headaches worse tooI have never done acupuncture, but I have heard that this really does help with them. I hate needles....go figure

I was taking 200mg in the morning and at night. I agree on the weight loss thing, when I went off I gained weight. f course I also uit taking some other meds too and started taking hormones. Nothing like putting on 25 lbs in 6 months with NO pregnancy and migraines. When I first went off and on different hormones, my migraines have been worse. I didn't do well on the clomid or the bravelle but the femera went ok. I also hate needles, but I have found that I don't think about it as much with the acupuncture because it helps me relax. It might be something for you to try.

BUBUMACI- i was really sore after er and i bloated aswel but i didnt gain any weight i drank 2ltr of water every day til et to try and flush the hormones out of my system.......when i needed to go to the toilet i used to get pains in stomach and felt a bit more bloated until i went my pain only started to subside about a day before et and i was really tired and woren out i found the more water you drink and the more bed rest you get the better you will feel........i hope you feeling well soon
Hi Tella :wave:
Thanks for the feedback re swelling
The soreness is a lot better today, although still feel tender when moving / getting up / sitting down ... and still look very bloated. When lying down, if I press on my tummy, it feels quite tender (above the belly button) but I haven't put on any more weight since yesterday. So hopefully, if any fluid has gathered there, it will go away (I wonder, where / how
Only two more days of stims *yay* :thumb up: I hope the scan goes well and that the planned ER on Wednesday is a huge success! Will be keeping my fingers crossed!
MrsC - that's great news

Girls i need some advise....,,,..,,..,,...
Thats very exciting! Congrats! I'm not sure if I ever posted in here the results of my second beta and how I'm doing! My second beta was 178 and that was perfect! So I've got my first ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday the 27th. Eeeeek! Less than a week away! Just wanted to keep you ladies in the loop!
@ Honey - seems like you are having the same symptoms / reactions as me... And I think progesterone can have that effect (even in my normal cycle, I find myself getting tired / feeling a bit sick from it in the days leading up to my period). Have you been drinking a lot to flush all the anaesthetic from your system? That might help

now have to wait for af to come to go back on bcp....ive only had 2 cycles since feb after mc....it took 8 wks then 35 days...i hoping to be back at 28 days...i was on the pills for 31 days and af at 34 days so we shall see. then i get to start ivf process for early-mid sept
honey: you got soooo many! i cant believe you had 13 growing and 10 frosties! thats fantastic! did you get an update on the 13 yet?
afm: decided to stop the bcp after my surgery.the nurse said i could anytime....and af showed up today. so my trip next weekend and the following week wont be interrupted
drsquid: are you testing before beta?
i think iam going to call my clinic on monday and tell them i got a positive test i wonder will they do a test earlyer than thursday i really cant wait till then i showed my mum the tests and she defo thinks iam pregnant shes all excited its kinda funny 
bubu- I too feel quite bloated by the end of the day. Urinating still hurts and I feel it hurts more when Im really very full. Making frequent trips to the bathroom instead of waiting till i cant hold it any longer has helped. It still hurts when I try to stand up from seated position. I have been weighing myself twice a day as I am terrified of OHSS. My weight is normal in the mornings, but by evening I seem to gain around 1 or 2 kgs. My stomach is really bloated in the evenings, I cant wear my jeans anymore
Hey girls just popped in for an update.......i done another test today and it has got a good bit darker and the line came up straight away i actully really think this is it iam finnally pregnant
HOPEFUL-how are you???......did you do any more tests??? whens your beta???
Congratulations Hun I am so happy for you and I am sure you can't wait!
