Gail, you can come round here and clean my skirting boards if you want??

gailp · Post by **gailp** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 3:05 pm

Nicki the skirting board cleaning is a one off!!! Not planning on doing it again for a while

My Down reg was Buserelin 0.5 ml and my stimm drugs were 4 ampoules of 75 iu

75iu, OMG I have 150 iu, and if your over stimulated on 75!!!

Does the does cause OHSS or is it the individual??

Hope the skirting boards are sparking!!! xxx

Nicki it was 4 amps at 75 so that was a total of 300. I think OHSS is an individual thing and its only about 1 - 2 % of people that get it , at least thats what I was told. I was told that if I did have to have another fresh cycle then they would reduce the dosage to reduce my chances of getting OHSS.

Skirting boards are sparkling

Hi

Nikki - I too have 0.5 Buserilin and then reduced to 0.25 when i started Puregon stimms. Started stimms at 400 and reduced by 75 a day as was over responding. They check you sooo often so don't worry about OHSS.

I too have gained wieght. Not sure if because fed up and comfort troughing or whether it was drugs but I was 10.2 and now I am 11.4!!!!!!! Desperate to lose a bit before next cycle but only 2 weeks to go and can't get head round it.

Sure hormones are still in my system - very weepy at the moment and very touchy about what people say. My big sis hurt me badly the other day when she said "why are you so moody - i think you are suffering post injection trauma, have a break at a health farm or take a chill pill". As you can imagine I am so hurt. She also added that I should forget about IVF for a few weeks. I snapped back that short of cutting my sodding head off it won't happen and wish i could turn it off.

It was out of character for her and know she didnt mean it but she has triggered me off into thinking is that what other people think?

Woke up today and been blubbing and feel totally miserable but having a curry tonight and some vodka and coke and that is it. Back on with the healthy stuff ready for two weeks time!!!!!!!! (Perked up a bit now).

JEN - HOPE YOU ARE ENJPYING HONEYMOON

Happy weekend to everyone. So glad you are here!!! xxxx

Julie big hugs hun!!! That is really insensitive of your sister. Does she have kids? Did it happen easily for her? The sad truth of the matter is that people who have not experienced true infertility don't understand the feeling and emotions and unfortunatley are all too quick to judge. Do you ever speak to her about your feelings? Is she approachable. Sometimes when I felt really down and not my usual self I would just be honest with those closest to me so they would cut me some slack. I did sometimes think that maybe they felt I was moaning on but they never said that to my face and frankly I knew that if it was them they wouldn't be coping any better - infact probably worse! I used to get the whole,"just don't think about it" and used to get so angry. When your life is effectively on hold and you don't relish the prospect of endless drugs, bloods, scans, etc how can you not think about it?? You take care hun and hope the curry and voddie was good.

Nicki I hope the sniffing is getting easier and hope your feeling abit better too hun.

As for me, meeting a friend for coffee - juice for me as I've gone right off tea and coffee - today then friends to night then over to my brother's tomorrow for a birthday lunch for my mum.

Hope all phoenixes have a nice weekend xxx

Hi Lis

No my sis hasnt got kids or isnt married and I get that as well....how my life is sorted with my nice hub, nice home, car etc etc. Far from sorted is what I say. I know she doesnt mean to be hurtful and she can never understand. genuinely think she just worries and thinks i can escape it but like you say we just cant can we!!!

Had good weekend. Went to bro-in-laws 40th yesterday and had good time. DH is cooking tea as we speak and i feel tons better. Tomorrow is the day for change. Need to get motivated again and get mind back on track.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend. xxx Hi to everyone else xxx

hi girls, just to let you know I might not post so much, as things are getting me down, I need to take time out!!
I have been so sad and thats not like me, really it's not!!!
I think I spend too much thinking IVF 24/7. It's not good for me!!!
So instead of rushing home from work and logging on, I will be chilling out!! I sit at a PC all day at work and then sometimes all night!!!

I really love you guys, and you've helped me so much, I will post again, but please let me get my head back!! x x

Love 'n' hugs to you!!!

Hi Nikki - I understand. Hugs to ya and see ya soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

gailp · Post by **gailp** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:04 pm

Julie I can’t believe how inconsiderate your big sister was, I think the problem is that people who haven’t gone through this TTC / IVF route just have no idea how hard both mentally and physically it is. It would be so great if we could all just switch off for a few weeks but that’s just never going to be possible. Hope the curry and vodka and coke made your day a bit more bearable. Hope you have had a chance to have a chat with your sister about how you feel.

Nicki I don’t blame you taking time out. We will all be here for you when you need us. Sending a big hug your way.

Hi to everyone else

Hi Girls

Hope you're all OK... ?

Gail - any news yet? Has your gorgeous daughter arrived? I hope you're OK?

Nicki - How's the meds going? Hope you're not getting too many side effects? I know you were a bit worried about getting OHSS, I was 6 amps of menopur, 450 the highest does and was fine.. You will be too.. I understand your post saying you might not be posting much, we all need time out at times, sometimes it all gets too much and we just need a break from IVF, stims etc etc... Has your ceiling been sorted out yet??

Lisa - How's you huni and your little beanie.. I bet you are still on top on the world, hope you're not getting too many symptoms, has the sicky feeling gone yet.? 6lbs already, you must be having a big baby, can't wait to hear about the scan, when is it??? I've also put on weight through this IVF, I’m sure it’s the meds, I was always 9 stone, and now I'm 10.5, I am trying to lose a stone but its not going anywhere...

Julie - That was insensitive of your sister, sometimes I think people just say things but don't really mean them or don't mean them to sound how they do (if that makes sense) I went to my mother in laws today and we were talking about my next cycle and she said "lets hope this one works huh, it been going on far too long now" Yeah don't I know it, I'm the one who's bloody going through it... anyway I don't she didn't mean it in a hurtful way but people could be a bit more sensitive... Anyway hun when are you starting your meds..?

Jen - Oh married one, I posted a while ago saying Jen is married, only I got the wrong day, so sorry.... but congratulations, can't wait to hear all about it..
Kate - I hope you're OK?

Hi to anyone else I've missed

As for me, I have decided to go ahead in April, so AF is due 21st April and will start stims on day 2.. I am really excited, I know I said I'd wait but I can't...! Work is still same, not heard anything about jobs yet.. Shouldn’t be long now.. A girl at work went on MAT leave on Friday and we did a collection for her, I was the one to go shopping for all the goodies, I was sooooo jealous, when I was buying all the baby stuff, I just kept thinking, its not fair.. but I know my time will come and I'm hoping and praying this next one is the ONE.....

Take Care everyone..

Lucy

p.s. I will update the list.
