Hi Girls Think I'll be joining you on the 2WW next week - they think EC will be Tues??? They never say for definite. Alison the ARGC made me have a repeat BT today, had the first at 8.50am and the second at 11.45, can't see that my levels will change that much in 3 hours. I'm on day 9 of injections. I'm going to take the 2 weeks after EC off work, so I reckon I will be very BORED. Not sure how many follies I have but I can feel them and it looks like more than I've previously had on the scan. Thinking of you all. Love Jen xx

Hi all - Jen, Helen, Julie - hope your e/cs go fine at the beginning of next week. Traci - how are you doing, when've you decided to test? My news isn't great - have been spotting on and off since Friday and yesterday evening had a slightly heavier bleed. This is the usual pattern for me, then somtimes it turns into full-on AF, and other times just carries on like this til test day, but its never been a good result. I've not yet lost all hope, but realistically things aren't looking good. Hoping you're all having happier weekends. Love Alison x

Alison Please don't throw in the towel just yet, most people who test positive have some sort of bleed or spotting, I know I did, so keep resting and wait until you do the test! Thinking of you with all things crossed. Lots of Love Dawn x

Hi Alison Sorry you're feeling down, but glad you've not lost all hope. So many girls have positives with loads of different symptons. I know we all try and second guess our bodies but remember all the girls with positives who really thought it was all over. Stay strong. I'll be joining you on the 2ww sooner now. I had to ring Mr T Sat evening and he told me to take the profasi last night, so EC tomorrow at 7am. BIG HUGS Love Jen xx

jen and helenlouise - good luck for your ec today!! alison - can you get a couple of days of bed rest in? seems it might be a good idea. think vicki did this and bleeding went away. putting your feet up increases the supply of blood to the uterus, or so the ARGC keep on telling me. My pregnancy book says don't start worrying re blood loss unless you have soaked two STs (sorry!) but they recommend putting your feet up too. am keeping my fingers crossed for you and will light a candle today. beckym xxx

hi, 24 follicles collected today so 12 each for me and recipient. Feeling much sorer than i thought i would and rather tender. Embryologist has reccommended we go with ICSI as the thawed sperm had low motility, so will know tomorrow about fertilisation. Thought the bloated feeling would subside after EC, but it hasn't yet. Had a lovely sedated sleep though!! helen

Well done lucky recipient thats all I can say !!! Now you must DRINK DRINK DRINK like Becky says. Cant wait to see how many fertilise Trace x [Edited by Traci on 24-Nov-03 08:51]

Hi Girls Had EC this morning and a record number of eggs for me - 16. I normally only get 5 -7. It all seems to have gone really fast this time - I only had 8 days of stim injections. I'll keep you posted on the embie front - fingers crossed. Well done Helen and good luck with the 2WW - blaaah. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Love Jen xx

Jen What is your FSH? and what dosage of stimms were you on ?

jen · Post by **jen** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 11:02 am

Hi Traci I think my FSH was about 6, can't really remember but it was fine anyway. They started me off on 450 of Gonal F which is quite high and then reduced it to 300, then 225 then on the day before the trigger injection they rung me at work to take 300 then (I had to drive home and come back). So they seem to be very thorough and monitor constantly - it worked so far anyway. The lab rang today - 16 eggs, 14 suitable for ICSI, 9 have fertilised. So ET will be either Thurs or Sat depending on how they are looking. Helen - how are yours doing Take care Love Jen xx
