So, aside from the fact that I don't have many eggs...I got a call to lower my dose of Follistim almost by 1/2!!!!!!!!!! Why????????? Don't ya think I should be using MORE so I can grow more before the EC? I am so upset. Why are they lowering me? :(

Zirly,
if they are lowering your dose could it be they are trying to slow down your stimming rate so the smaller follies have chance to grow without the larger ones getting too big and that way increase the amount of eggs you will get, maybe if they had kept you on a higher dose they would have been forced to do EC sooner and missed out on some slower follies because the big ones you have would have been ready too early???

just an idea....im soory i cant help more

Good Morning Ladies,

Arghhhhhhhh, i dont know whats wrong with me! I havent slept a wink all night - the dreams ive had have been so horrible and weird, and some really nice ones! I was meant to be having a lay in, and rest up. My DH has just gone to work, and i was pretending to him that everything is just fine but i was holding on to this untill he went:
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I cant stop crying! Im so scared that my eggs didnt fertalize, and then im left with nothing - i dont know if i can go through this again, please god let there be just one, we only need one :D
I dont know where all my PMA has gone. Im dreading the phone call, i thought i would have been ok with taking the call, now i wish my DH was taking it at work.

Its 8.10am here at the moment - i was told not to expect the call untill around 11am - 12am and that if he was a little late ringing, then that doesnt mean im to think the worst, just means he's a wee bit busy around the clinic. What am i going to do untill then????

Thank u, each and every one of u for ur support over the passed weeks, i couldnt have got through this without u ladies.

Hugzzz to everyone

Sending you big (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

Try to relax. I know it is not easy and I know that next week when it is my time I will be so nervous. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that you have had lot of eggs fertilised.

Take care

Ahhhh becky hang on in there you are a strong woman to have come this far and gone through what you have!! it is completely understandable to feeling the way you do but you can do 3 more hours and I'm sure you will get the call that you pray for. Am keeping everything crossed for you and Emma.

Thanks Lisa and Jackie I will ask my Dr next week.

Take care

I was so worried about Becky that I finished off my post and forgot to include my scan details. Well I now have 17 follicules on the left and 6 on the right, along with a large collapsing one/cycst. My lining is at 8mm which is fine. My larges follicule is 1.3mm with the rest all a bit smaller. I will get the phone call later on today about when I need to go back again but they think it will be next week.

Speak to you all soon

Becky - try not to worry.

I was exactly the same as you yesterday waiting for the phone call and today i'm going for ET so it will be fine...I felt sick when the phone rang but they will go through things really slowly and just remember to ask loads of questions - i did!

Afterall, you only need one to fertilise and at my hospital they say the fertilisation rate is about 60% so you'll definately get one!!!

Also Emma good luck to you waiting for your phone call - let us know as soon as you hear both of you!

I am going for ET this afternoon but i have a pale pinkish/brown discharge (sorry) is this normal or should i be worried?

Love to every1

Thank u Ladies,

Im trying my best to stay positive - PMA!!! PMA!!!!

Vickie: The brownish discharge - i assume is still from ur EC - im not sure what to expect as ur 2 days later, but the nurse told me yesterday that it should have got less and less by 24hrs, have a word with ur doc when u go in later this afternoon, but it does sound pretty normal to me -
Good luck with ur wee embies hun - ive got loads of PMA for u :D - just a shame i aint got none for myself lol!

Angela: Sorry, i didnt mean to worry u, ur follies sound just great - i had less than u, and they got 12 eggs from me - so im sure all is well there :D Let us know when u get to go back.

Haylie: Thank u for ur PMA, i have stopped crying, but feel sick with worry - roll on that phone call cos at least i will know where i stand then either way. Its the not knowing that worries me.

Will let u ladies know as soon as i hear ....

Hugzzzz everyone!

Hi Girls,

As suspected it's a BFN for me. Wicked witch has shown up good and proper this morning. I am fine though, well use to it by now I think.
Hubby is very sad this morning. I really feel for him as he had to go to work with a broken heart.

What doesn't break us, makes us stronger and I know my time will come one day.

Best of luck to all of you testing this month. I will be cheering you on and keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Love Lisa XXX

I'm so sorry, life is so unfair sometimes!
Your time will come I'm sure, it's just a long painful journey getting there.
Go and book that holiday for you and your DH, you deserve it.
Take care, you are in my thoughts and I'm sending lots of love and hugs to you

Macca - I am so sorry for your BFN - was thinking about you all last night and this morning. Big hugs to you and DH (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))).
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Becky - I know exactly how you're feeling. I was awake tossing and turning all last night and at 6am put Friends DVD on to try and take my mind off it. Clinic said they would phone between 9 and 10 and I was going mad! At 10.30 I got the call to say they had both fertilised and now we are over the moon!!! What an emotional rollercoaster! I am sure you will be fine and soon you will be sharing the happy news that you have 2 lovely embies waiting for their new home.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am booked in for ET tomorrow at 3pm. Wish me luck!

Vickie - good luck with your ET today. Will be thinking of you and DH.
