Kf-sorry that your news isn't better. just hold on in there. We are with you and keeping fingers crossed for you.

Becky- I agree you shouldn't feel guilty. I am so pleased you are on the board as you are a great support and having been all that makes you who you are. You offer sound advice! We all make decisions based on what we think is best at the time. I think its great that you are going through this for DH (and yourself of course)

Off for a pampering bath now. Not much on telly for a Friday night.

hey ladys ... is all this reading good for you????
casy i will end up in october too the way im going and i refuse to leave here so everyone is stuck with us tailenders

KF that sucks but Jackie is so right many of us get coasted through our meds it just adds a few day to your cycle it sounds like yours is going to be like mine last time and it worked out really well, try not to worry... we are all thinking of you

Welshgirl you dont offend anyone at all we are all allowed to say anything we want to on here, i know years ago we wernt so clued up on smoking and the bad side effects as we are today it used to be so cool with our bell bottoms and wing neck shirts to have a fag hanging out your mouth... but like the clothes we now know better

lots of love Debz

Ugh

Still no word from my clinic. I'll wait till 4:30 to call them if they don't call me. I can't think about anything else

. I feel better today. The cramps are gone. I'm just sitting here anticipating my first Progesterone shot

.

Thanks for the coffee responses. I'm going to believe that decaf is OK for now

Hi ladies, how are we all? Sorry i haven't been on for a few days. Busy with school and last night i went to see Grease the musical. It was really good.

Had my scan on Wed. All seemed fine - right ovary looked like a gun barrell again. Started Gonal-f - 225. The nurse wondered if i should go up to 300. Phoned clinic for blood results and that was fine. Doctor said no to uping the doseage. Hopefully we'll get some embies to freeze this time. I still can't stop eating. Next scan on Wed day 8. I've also started taking baby aspirin. the nurse said it would do me no harm. Found out that our last embies were grade 2.

Some fragm.

Kf -

for your levels going down.

Jeck -hope you're feeling better.

Hi to everyone else. Paula x

Hi everybody!

I am having such a hard time keeping up with all of you. It hurts for me to sit at the computer with this growing cyst on my right ovary, so forgive me for not participating as much as I'd like.

Yesterday, due to the pain, they sent me to my primary to get a better ultrasound on this Endometrioma I've developed. It is growing! It is now 5 cm x 5.5 cm! The pain is really sharp at times, but after today, I'm trying not to worry as much. I can't afford to!! My 2nd ultrasound today was surprisingly uneventful. On my 1st one they prepared me that "on Friday" they'd probably "go over the options" with me, but that never happened. I first got good news that my lining is looking nice and at an 8. They measured the endometrioma, told me they see them a lot and that it can effect egg quality because it takes up good ovarian tissue... then moved on to the follicles... I have no new ones unfortunately. Still 3 on the left, measuring 9,9,11 and two on the right at 10 & 11. The nurse told me that if we are considering cancelling, she recommends we wait until Monday because they will be able to predict, with better certainty, how many eggs we might get. She also told me that since I am on the highest dosage of Gonal F now, I may not do "any better" with starting over on a new cycle... so that's something to ponder. My DH, who ALWAYS looks to the bright side, sees progress with these slowly growing follies and is hoping we get a few eggs with this cycle. I am hoping for the same and praying these few eggs are of good quality. I wish there was something I could EAT or do to insure that!!! It's such a waiting game and we have such little control!! I hope they GROW, GROW, GROW this weekend!!

KF - I'm sorry you are dealing with a cyst too. Did they tell you if it was an endometrioma? Is it causing you pain? I pray your cycle will not be cancelled.

One of you made me feel a lot better the other day and I can't remember your name (so sorry!)... you said "they scared you too" on your first ultrasound... Thank you so much for your kind words!

I'll try to check in as often as I can.

Karen

Hey Karen, dont worry about not keeping up its ok for me im here all day

just know we are here for you.
i wanted to sayplease dont be too down 5 follies is a good number and your hubby is right they have developed slowly so have more chance of containing a good little egg in there, i know it can be dissapointing when we expect to see tons of little black blobs and are only told we have 5 (i was told this) dont forget you always have the chance of some follies round the back of your ovies too they cant see those untill EC they can be more aggressive while we are sleeping... i am still praying your little bundle is in your bunch.
are you taking follic acid? i take 1600 mg a day thats really good for eggs and plenty of fluid...wishing you the best praying for you too... big hug

lots of love Debz

Hi! My RE finally called. 9 eggs fertilized! I'm very happy, that's double what I was expecting.

We'll be doing a 5 or 6 day blastocyst transfer. I don't expect all my embryos to survive that long, but if I have 2 to transfer and 2 to freeze, I'll be very happy. My RE will call me Sunday to update me and hopefully I'll find out when my transfer will be.

Thanks Aunty! The waiting is going to be so hard!

Wow! It took me so long to read everything tonight! Many of you are sleeping now.

I went for my first blood test today and was told not to do anything to the med dose. I am on day three of stimming. Is this bad? I want to increase meds, right? Now I am concerned.

KF: I am sorry you are so worried. I have read SO many women who seem to go through similar things and they end up JUST FINE! I will keep my fingers crossed for you that your u/s on monday goes well and that they will let you continue with this cycle.

Angela: Sorry you are not well. I felt TERRIBLE after my first day of injections...much like you described..but then after that...I have had no problems. I hope this is the same for you.

Becky: Glad the twinges have returned!

Jeck: That sucks being sick (unless it is from pregnancy

! I love gatoraid. Keep drinking and I hope you feel better soon.

Vickie: Yay for your 11 good follies! Good luck with the Ec! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Paula: Good luck with your Wednesday scan

Karne: I will be sending you GROWING vibes this weekend!

Mia: CONGRATS!!!!! I would be THRILLED with 9 fertilizing! That is just so amazing. I am also going to let mine go to blast. I can't wait to hear how many you end up with...hopefully all nine!

Have a great night.

Hi,

just a short post as I need to go down to work. Debz, don't worry about being into October and please don't leave us. You started this thread and it wouldn't be the same without your constant prescense and your smilies to keep us all going. You have supported us all the way so don't worry whatever happens we will hang round to give you PMA when you need it.

Mia Well done on your fertalisation. 9 is a really great number

Zirly. Today I feel slightly better, although some small stabbing pains down below. Hopefully that is lots of lovely follies growing. Don't worry about not increasing your meds as I have been told that is a good sign. They only need to increase or decrease them when things aren't going to plan. Are you on menopour or GonalF. I am doing menopour 225/iu.

Ange - I know just what you mean about Bruseline making you tired. As I work till late at night my clinic advised me to have a nap every afternon. Now that I am stimming they have said it is a must. Still if it helps to develop the eggs I don't mind.

Sorry no personals for everyone else but I have got a really busy lunch at work today and if Idon't go down and start soon no one will get fed. I will post again later on today.

Take care
Angela
