Hi ladies,

Hope you are all doing ok on treatment, I start stimulation phase tomorrow with gonal f injections. This is my first cycle so am very scared and unsure what to expect. Any words of encouragement or insight would be greatly appreciated as am feeling a bit apprehensive. X x x

Welcome and good luck. My biggest tip for the injections - don't think about it, just inject. The more you think about it the more you will drive yourself nuts. After 2-3 days, I promise you won't even think twice.
 
31, thats where we are at right now too, whatever the doc says I figure they are saying it for a good reason haha!! gotta put some trust in the procedure I guess.. sigh
 
yea I think so, everyone tells me to buy baggy sweaters and comfy pants haha

The part I really don't like is with both drinking all the water plus the achey ovaries I always need to go but going isn't terribly comfortable these days :blush:

Oh and....

AFM-my appointment was positive today! Thankfully no cysts! :thumbup:my lining was 5.5mm and the biggest follie was 9mm so haven't even ovulated yet! They basically said the ovaries are 'quiet' and therefore decided that instead of bringing on AF with drugs, I would start bcp (your meant to start it cd 1, cd83 today!) for 2 weeks and start stimms a week after coming off. I knew I had to have the bcp for 2 weeks when i got AF so that's ok I suppose. Was originally starting on 23rd, now starting stimms on the 2nd feb so a 10 day delay.
Also completly out of the blue, they said as I had such a perfect blasto transferred last time (I think they were quite surprised at my BFN), they want to give me steroids this cycle! Eeek!!!!!!!! I have agreed as it's worth a try, and I had actually been reading about steroids and their role in reducing NK cell activity.
Also....My clinic are quite strict on number of embies transferred, and I think most places only transfer one blasto. However due to it being my 2nd cycle, they said they 'may' agree to transferring 2 blasts!!! wow! xxxxxxxxxx

Great news huni. Who did you see?

Really, 2? are you nhs? xxx
 
I know 2! I thought herts & essex were really strict. Not nhs-private but egg sharing. I just saw Sarah the egg share nurse, she consulted with David though halfway through. They might change there minds when it comes to it, who knows! They also mentioned increasing my Gonal F to 225 (had 150 last time-which was adequate-got 18 eggs) but I'm happy with that.x

Sounds like a great scan and good luck with the trigger shot and egg collection :)
 
Good luck with your transfer today Constance.

Princess, congratulations on 12 lovely follicles :0

Bloat is normal, as it gaining the pounds. I think I gained 7 the first time round with all the bloat. The water and constant peeing are interesting for sure. I was up four times in the night to the toilet. It's all worth it though :D
 
Good luck with transfer today constance - you will be PUPO! :baby:

Princess - looking good :thumbup: 12 is perfect! Yay for trigger and retrieval :happydance:

:dust:
 
Well... We had the scan today.... and... WE HAVE 6!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I tried to mentally prepare myself for it to be cancelled. They were all between 5.6 and 11.4. He said we may even have a few more pop up between now and the trigger. Before we started he said he only expects 4-6 for me so this is fantastic news. I was so happy to see all those black circles!!!!! This is a huge relief. I go back Monday for another scan. He thinks we will either be ready to trigger that night or Tuesday.

I can't beleive this is really working. I thought our hopes were gone. I am so grateful.
