Sorry for no personals - feeling awful today.... I posted in my journal and I do have some symptoms. The OHSS getting worse is a symptom in itself since a bfp will make it worse. Hope that is the case so I'm not feeling like this for nothing...

I'm reading so will continue to send tons of :dust: to everyone but don't know how much I will post til I'm feeling better.
 
i haven't been on here in awhile and a lot of action. good luck to everyone that is pupo and congrats Princess!!

AFM - i start stims on sunday and i'm a little nervous. I started taking baby asprin yesterday (docs orders). does everyone else take baby asprin? and how long do you take it for? so have all of you told people at work that you are doing IVF? i haven't told anyone and i have no idea what i'm going to tell my boss the day of my egg retreival and then the 3 days i have to be out for my egg transfer. i'm hoping some of those days fall on a weekend. maybe i'll just have to call in sick...i don't know.

good luck everyone!
 
Blood work and second scan this am. My numbers are 13's and 14's. RE seemed pleased with lining etc. so that was good. Looks like ER will be Wed 2/1....I am glad because my stomach is bloated, I have welts from sticking myself, headaches, so over this part. After the ER ladies were you back to work the next day?
 
I have to take baby aspiriin too but not sure for how long just know I start the same day as I start my supressant (Feb 10th).

Hope everyone is doign well congrats to those of you who are PUPO and to princess on her BFP!!!!
 
Congrats Princess!! I wonder if it is one or two??

As for me, feeling defeated. Lead follies are only 6-8, they were 6-7 two days ago and I increased the dose of Menopur. Either I am going to stim for a long time or maybe it's not going to work at all... :nope:

So, now I have to take the day off work on Sunday and go to one of the other clinics for u/s and bloodwork - so annoying and trying to figure out how to handle the call off. :wacko:

I found acupunture and honostly, I don't love it. But I will continue if you all say it helps.

I hope things speed up for you. They let me go an extra 5 days this round to get some larger ones and it worked. Although I had just one, at least it was something.

I agree... I hate acupuncture too. I have been about 5 - 6 times this month alone. BUT like you say, you have to try everything. I could thank acupuncture for my top grade egg as last cycle it was only a 2/3 and I am certainly not as stressed this cycle.

I put my pessaries out in 2 days worth, so I count the days down in 2 haha. Crazy but it helps. Cos when you get to the last 1 of the 2 days, you think woop,, another 2 days gone :dohh:
 
I am not an acupuncture lover either, have been twice so far but I dont really get into Zen mode haha.. but like you girls I am not going to knock it and will try anything that may help!!

No baby aspirin here. I did tell my boss about ivf and she was pretty cool about it. Between having to go for ultrasounds and the ER and ET I figured it would be hard to explain otherwise.

I lucked out and had my ER on a Friday. Looking back I would have taken the next day off if it would have been during the week. The pain wasn't anything beyond what Tylenol could handle but there was a lot of stress waiting for the call with the fertilization report.

Hang in there. I had to stim for a long time also but it was worth it. 12 days I believe. I am also not a fan of acupuncture. I did it because it is supposed to help but I found the needles to be painful and never really felt relaxed.
 
A psychic at a fair today said I am pregnant with 3 but only 2 will make it to delivery. She said a hpt on feb 1st would show positive! Hmmmm only time will tell...
 
Just wanted to say good luck to you all, it really helps knowing what is about to come, and aem118 how excitin, do keep us posted. X
 
For those of you who dont love acupuncture try bringing your iPod with you and put on some relaxing music. I found that helped me relax and enjoy it. I mostly go after work and I find it very relaxing after a long day at work and it definitely relieves stress for me so if that is all it does then that has to help me in the long run.
 
How is everyone doing? Board has been really quiet lately..
 
I am waiting for my test on Friday. Days aren't going quick enough.

How is everyone else?
 
It has been very quiet hasn't it.

31andtrying - I hope Friday comes round quickly for you. I am trying to do something every day to keep me going lol. Drives you nuts doesn't it.

aem11 - Wow, how do you feel about that news from the psycic?

Springy - Thanks for the tip. I didn think that but she sits and jabbers away :dohh: Once needles are in I am fine with it. I do get bored laying there for an hour but needs must :thumbup:

AFM - now 5dp2dt, been having cramps for 2 days, cried at Ashley Banjo's programme lastnight teaching a darts team to dance, and about 5 times a day, I go light headed when I get up. I know I am looking into things but I have to hold on to hope :flower: When I go for a wee, it is stinging a little last 2 days. I am drinking lots of water. What do you think that could be?

Have a good day ladies xxx
 
Kristy the stingy wee thing could be a symptom of ohss, it was one of the symptoms we were told to look out for,
However if you haven't had ohss since transfer till now, it could be a good sign in the sense that hcg makes ohss worse :shrug:

When's your otd Hun?
 
31 the days do drag don't they, I'm normally a patient person but the 2ww really played on my mind hence the early testing :blush:
Since finding out tho the days have flown by!

My OTD is 6th Feb but I am gonna test on 5th as its a Sunday and hubby will be home.

I only had 5 follies and 2 eggs so I don't think it could be ohss, although I don't know too much about it to be honest. It has only been last couple days. Its driving me nuts not knowing :dohh:

How are you doing? Xxx
