Hi charlie.
went to the hospital today. they said eveything was fine. the syst was still there but the nurses asured me it's nothing to worry about and they told me i could carry on with my treatment. so the good news was i started my stims today. and had my first one at the hospital. there alot different than the first set.

well like i said that was the good news. the bad news .......................
The nurses phoned me up about 4.30 when i got home and told me i would have to leave my stims till next friday. something has gone wrong in the lab, something to do with the incubatores(spelling) . they said something was growing in there that shouldn't be . i'll no more tomorrow. everyone is in the same boat. i think it must be some sort of virus. nothing goes right.

i'll keep you posted. have you yhad AF. i bet your ahead of me now. how are you and dh coping.
write back hope your doing well. unlike me.lol

hi charlie, yes im still on the burserin till fri. been on burserlin over three weeks now. but will start my stims on friday. phoned the hospital today so they could explain it to me properly.

They said there is something wrong with the incbaters. and they have stopped my stims incase it is time for me to go for EC, because the incubaters wont be safe to use till fri.

been a bit down lately, thats why i haven't been here. just needed a break from it all. really thought about jacking it all in last week. the injections were driving me up the wall. I was so low. tried to cheer myself up by watching a comedy dvd. but cried all the way through it. guess it was just hormones. i broke out in loads of spots and had cramps, the lot. I was sick of everything. But im ok now and feeling positive. I wish itwas all over and done with. the worst thing is we're going through all of this it might not work. we really are on a long rollercoaster! I know it's going to worth it in the end when im looking at my baby(babies) :D

I dreamed that i had a little girl last night. didn't want to wake up. God i hope it works. how are you and what have you been up to?

Hi Hayley
Good to see you back and feeling a bit better, not long till friday. :lol:

Just about to take 2nd stim shot and buseralin, i didnt know that i had to have two every day, my legs look like they have been run over. (im sensetive to brusing).
I have had a very low day today aswell, feeling very tired, uncomfortable
and quite dissapointed with our clinic, every time we go for appt they seem to rush us in and out and when you stop them to ask a question they treat you as a time waster. :cry:

feeling very nervous about up and coming treatment, and how my body will react to the stims, im quite sensetive to meds and already today had strange discomfort from what i think is my left ovary which DH says is too early to feel anything and im just emagining it. :o

How are you sleeping? strange question i know but i cant seem to relax, maybe hormones, or nerves!

Keep positive, we will get there,

What happened to all the embies in lab?

Keep strong Hayley, i dont even know you but i have been very worried about you, as i think we are in such a simular situation that i feel i can relate to you.
Keep in touch charlie xxx

Hi Hayley, im also having a bit of a bad day as i went for my second stim scan and on my last scan i had 5 follies and was told by today i should have alot more but i still only had 5, they have grown but they want more, but still they refused to put up my dose as i am still on the lowest.
I was due for EC on fridy but it now looks like it will be next mon, im so angry, why wont they just put up my dose, i know that they are just being careful but i think too careful.

I have been quite uncomfortable and really thought there would be more.
Then when i got home from work, the next door nieghbour crashed into my car and dented the whole wing, and then to top it all off one of my cats has s**t all over the dvd player.
I cant believe the day i have had, i could really do with a few large vodkas, oh but i cant
Bloody rubbish ovaries, i thought being young i would get plenty.

But enough of me moaning on, how are you? its good to see you getting started now, it just seems (as you said) that it has taken forever, and i cant emagin going through all this and it not working

Big hug and kisses heading back to you

Hi Hayley, the message above i sent yesturday, and today im so bloated and quite uncomfortable, i hope this is a good sign for my scan tomorrow, as it will determin if i have EC this friday or next mon.
I hope its this friday as i have had enough of the injections, hormones and generally feeling like crap.
Work is getting so difficult now as i run a gym and am unable to show or participate in any form of exercise :cry: but have booked off from thur and upuntil the end of the dreaded 2ww so i can relax and take things easy (un paid of course). how about you, are u having any time off to recover?
When is your EC scheduled for?
I still only had 5 follies yestarday, so i hop i have a few more tomorrow :lol:

I hope you and dh are both doing alright.
This process is so hard, i didnt think it would be, i have had enough and cant emajin how i will feel on the 2ww.

Take care hunny
Speek soon

Hi Hayley, we were at the hopital today for another scan and expected them to say EC mon morning , but they said this friday, im so scared about the procedure, its done under sedation.
We only have 6 follies and hopefully 6 egg, but they may not all contain eggs :cry:

I hope you are ok and EC goes ahead next week, and i hope you get more follies then i have.
We do 3 injections tonight, buseralin, gonal f and the dreaded trigger shot.

im rally scared.

Charlie,

I just read your post and wanted to give some reassurance.

I had my EC a week ago Monday -- and totally understand your fear of going under GA! But, it was less scary for me b/c I had done so with a lapro back in September and knew what to expect. It really is not so bad. You'll have a chance to talk to your anasthesiologist before the procedure and you may want to express to him/her your anxieties about GA -- I did and it really helped.

Really all you notice is your anasthesiologist telling you to relax and think happy thought and you think nothing is working, then the next thing you know you are waking up in recovery. The amount they use for EC is pretty minimal since the procedure is only about 20 - 30 minutes so you don't feel woozy or anything after either. But you'll want to take it easy the rest of the day!

Good luck -- wishing you lots of good eggs!

Hmmm...not sure if GA is same as sedation -- I would give your nurse another call and ask her to explain more thoroughly. I always like to get as much info as I can about the procedures -- it makes me feel more in control even though so much of it is out of our control! You might also want to let them know you are anxious -- this may change the nature of the way they sedate you as well.

take care and lots of luck,
