First good luck, good vibes etc for today.

Beneath hope your scratch is quick and easy.

Bump great news how straightforward your scratch was.

Stupid seprecur hurt going in this morning and gave me an insect bump type lump. That's gone now thankfully. Got to get ready for work but just want to

Hello everyone else

 

[lizzie78]

First and beneath good luck for today, both exciting and nerve racking different ways!

Comfy - thats so annoying when it happens. Hope your day improves

Afm, I'm feeling much better today, it must have been AF that made me feel so horrid. I'm better in the mornings than afternoons I think but now I know that i'll try to work around it a bit. Had acupuncture last night which was good, had a lovely nap(!) there and woke my little self up snoring like a steam train ha ha luckily the lady had left the room so there was no witness to my shame. Maybe that's helping me to feel better today so far.

Hope everyone else is ok?

Lizzie, thanks. My day was going better. Went shopping while out with work to save me time later, when getting it out the car spotted a wasp crawling about in my carrier bag!

I'm in the gown!

I forgot to set my alarm this morning. So now, rushing around a bit. . But, I still have time for BnB.

First, good luck!! Plenty of healthy eggs!

Bump, hope scratch is not going to be too painful for you.

Comfy, I usually pinched myself a bit tighter to help with the pain or you can try icing the site a bit.

Lizzie, glad you are feeling better. I was always afraid that I'd fall down from the acupuncture table since it's so small.

Afm, another scan & b/w in a couple of hours.

 

[Comfycushions]

Ooh, good luck again first.

silly question but should i ice before/after/both?

ilovetoms, what a stressy way to start the day having to whizz about. Hope scan all good.

 

[lizzie78]

ILT hope scan is good

First - I just squeaked out loud when I read that. Bet you are all done and dusted as i'm typing this and hearing a great report of your 'haul'!

Comfy - A wasp??? Are you in the UK?!

 

[MoBaby]

Good luck ladies!!!!! Can't wait to how everything goes!

 

[FirstTry]

Holy crap, we got 36 eggs!!!!!

I've never gotten more than 18 before.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Comfy, you iced before the injection and after the injection you can try something warm on your stomach. I always gently massage both of my lower stomach every so often. So far, only 1 bruised, no welt, and nothing else. Plus, giving my stomach a gentle rub helps w/ the pain for me. But, I usually wait 5 minutes after the injection so that I don't squeeze the meds out.

First, holy cow!!!! That's lots of eggs! Congrats First! Did they change your meds and that's why you got that many?

Afm, possible retrieval is now on Monday. Apparently, my follicles have been growing 2mm consistently every 2 days. My RE said that my lining looks so pretty...lol. So far, we have 12 follicles over 13mm and a few small ones. Now, waiting for estrogen level. May do HCG shot today or saturday.

 

[Comfycushions]

First holy crap indeed!! That is a jaw dropping number. Brilliant news.

Ilovetoms, congrats on the pretty uterus! Not long to go now.

 

[MoBaby]

Did you say 36??? What was your estrogen? Wow! Wonder how many are mature? Congrats!! That's awesome.

 

[Comfycushions]

Lizzie, yep in UK. Acquired myself a wasp in a midlands Tesco. Wtf.

 

[beneathmywing]

First, that's amazing!!!!!!

Ilovetomatoes, glad to hear your u/s went good!!!! ER will be here before you know it

AFM: The scratch went better than expected. He had to do the it twice because he didnt get enough tissue for the biopsy the first time and didnt want me to have to come in again if it wasnt enough, but he was so good and so compassionate that it didnt even bother me he had to do it twice!! Talked me through the whole thing, told me every time he was about to do something and made sure I was okay. When I was done he even called me a strong little lady! I guess you find strength when its for something you want so bad!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Thanks Ladies.

BWM, yayy for a good scratch!

 

[CMo]

First - that's amazing!! What a great number!!

ILT - good luck for mon!!

I paid my bill this morning, ouch!! Just waiting on AF now to get started!!

Lately, when I've been letting my mind wander thinking about this whole process I get this stomach churning feeling and I think 'what if this doesn't work??' Normally really positive about it all but every now and again I just get that sicky feeling. Anyone else get this??

Hope everyone is well xx

Ugh still need to pay my bill!! Not looking forward to it lol

When are you expecting af?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Cmo, all the time! Every time I want to get excited, I remembered that the chance is 50-50. Thankfully, the hormones do not make me moody so DH is still in the safe zone . So no, you are not the only one .

But, having other ladies around with similar situation, helps a whole lot. Haven't you notice how often I post?? I am nervous alright .

 

[star25]

Beneath, glad scratch went well for you

First, thats amazing!! Will you have a fertilisation report tomoro?

Ilt, yay for possible egg collection Monday, everyone is moving along fast now

Cmo, I feel like that all the time, I imagine the best possible outcome then have to stop and remind myself not to get my hopes up tooo high!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

I'm still amazed with First's result! I mean I'm bloated, lower back is getting sore, BBs are getting a bit tender, gassy, and having acid reflux....and I only have half of the amount! How are you feeling First?
