Hi Mia,

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling too good, but fingers crossed it will all be worth it in the end :D

I thought I would write from an OHSS perspective. I had EC 2 weeks ago yesterday and got 13 eggs. The second I came round from the general anesthetic, I knew that there was a problem. I ...

Thanks Tracey!

Yes I will have FET, but not yet

I really hope that people realise how nasty OHSS can be and drink and drink, because not only do they risk being very very unwell, but it puts you off of ever doing IVF again I can tell you.

Take care,

Donna

What a couple of weeks.

Despite only having a couple of follicles for my first couple of scans, my Clinic increased the dosage of Gonal and I manged to get a wonderful total of 13 eggs which were collected on Wed 14th. By that evening I knew that something was up.

I was taken into hospital on the ...

Hello Girls!

I hope everyone is well, happy and enjoying (if that's the right word), their IVF'ing.

The last post I made was where I was told I only had 3 follicles and they were talking about abandoning my treatment - that was last Monday! Well, how things can change in a week. They increased my ...

Thank you girls for all of your advice.

I had the hospital this morning and came in today and my Manager hasn't even acknowledged me. So obviously I am not his favourite person at the moment - shame - he isn't mine either :x

Had a long chat with DH last night who made me realise that this ...

I need to sound off and knew just where to come!!!

I have had an almighty argument with my Manager at work about me having to take a couple of days off next week for EC / ET.

Despite the fact that I have been up front with him and kept him informed about when I will need to take some time off ...

Hi Everyone - how are we all coping today? All full of PMA I hope!!!

Just to let you know that I went to the hospital today for scan no. 3! Things are going OK'ish, but the Consultant is a little concerned about my lack of follicles. The last 2 attempts I only managed 6 and 5 eggs and so he has ...

Hi Leggy,

I wouldn't worry if I were you. I am currently on day 7 of injecting with Gonal-F and I still can't feel anything, and on my other 2 IVF attempts it has only been just before EC that I have realised something different is going on in the ovary department.

Good luck!

Donna

I'm really late joining, but can I join the July'ers!!!

I am currently injecting and EC is scheduled for week commencing 12th July!

This is my 3rd attempt (both attempts were last year and despite good embryos, no luck!). I am 32 and DH is 31, we have been trying for 8 years now.

I am ...

Thanks for all your advice.

I actually took the last 2 days off work and slept and slept and slept. I feel much better now, and so I guess leaving it to Mother Nature was probably best!

Donna

I have come down with a really sore throat and classic cold symptoms. I feel really terrible, and am considering taking something eg. Beechams hot lemon with paracetomol. The problem is that I started injecting with my Gonal-F yesterday!

I am trying to resist taking anything, but I really do feel ...

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I posted quite a bit last year around when I had my first two (unfortunately unsuccesful) attempts. Although I haven't written since I have been popping in and out of the message board to keep up to date on everyones progress!!

Well I am back and despite ...

I wondered if anyone could give me any information on what tests they have had done. I know that apart from the normal routine tests, they can test for NKC and things like that.<br><br>I am interested because after my recent failed 2nd attempt, I don't want to throw away money if I can help it and ...

Di,<br><br>I am so pleased for you. You must be over the moon.<br><br>Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy, you certainly deserve it.<br><br>Congratulations to both you and DH.<br><br>All my love <br><br>Donna

Thanks for the Birthday greeting Sarah. As you can tell, by the fact I am writing this, I am not actually having EC today. I went for my scan on Monday and they decided that the follicles weren't quite the size that they should be and so everything has been put off until Friday - tonight is my 36 ...
