July ann Thanks for our own thread. I hope you are finding the 2ww okay, are you working or taking it easy? I've not had anything special today. I've got my day 8 scan on Thursday, so it's still just injecting for me. Last time I had 2 good sized folllicles and they'v put me on the same dose so I hope it's all working the same! Millie - hope EC went well. Be sure to rest up and take it easy. Keep positive love lisa x

Hi July Ann and Lisa, my EC was okay yesterday although am feeling really bloated and quite uncomfortable. Last time I could barely move off the couch and its not that bad this time but still quite uncomfortable to walk or anything so am being waited on hand and foot and supposed to be set for ET on Thursday. Telephoned the clinic this afternoon and they got 21 eggs although only eight have fertilised which I felt was a bit disappointing (I know you only need one to do the job but out of 21 I thought that was a bit low). Never mind, hopefully they will develop well, but there is always that little fear in the back of my mind that they won't. Its just a waiting game isn't it! The embryologist said on the phone that the higher number of eggs reduces the quality, I hadn't realised that and wonder why perhaps they didn't slow me down a bit for that reason. Guess you have to trust the experts. Anyway, getting a bit bored with daytime TV already! Can't wait till Thursday is over and I can start geting on with things again and try to get back to normal (and not feel like a tellytubby!!) Are you managing to get on with things and not think too much about the 2ww July Ann? I know its hard. Lisa, good luck for your Day 8 scan, two good follicles would be perfect for IUI wouldn't it. Lots of luck to you both. Love Millie

hi girls hope you are all well.I do not feel any different, they should implanted by now so finger's crossed. My best friend phoned me yesterday to tell me she is pg again. She has a baby boy who is one and i'm he's godmother. It's funny as when i had my first tmt she found out she was pg the day i had a negative. I must admit i have never cried so much. Well i do not feel like that this time. tracey's news really cheered me up, we have cycled together quite alot. So we must keep positive... millie hope you get good new's today eight is a really good number. so you will both have your legs in the air on thursday, good luck.. take care july ann

July Ann and Millie HI there , hope you are both well I had my day 8 scan on thursday, I only had 5 follices and they weren't as big as last time. I go for another scan tomorrow morning and will have to wait and see. It was planned that I should have diui on MOnday but it may be that they don't do it until Wednesday. I shall have to wait until tomorrow!! So how are the 2ww going for you both??? not long now July ann !!! speak soon, love lisa x x

Back again Had scan this morning - stilll haven't grown that much. Biggest only 12mm, 11mm - need to be at least 16mm so I'm off for another scan on Monday - looks like they'll just have to extend my cycle a bit. As long as I get to iui then it'll be worth it. All very different to my last cylce - they had to reduce my drugs last time because I was responding so well and this time .....

maybe it was because my peiord didn't start untril I had started my injections. what do you think? Hope you are both well love lisa x

hi lisa how did you get on today, hope all went well. Every cycle is so different I found my body reacted different each time. millie how are you getting on we have not heard from you for a while. wel I do not feel sick anymore and have had slight af pain's. I have no sore boobs and I have moved them up and down a bit just in case..... Wish I could test now.. well catch up soon july ann

HI there girls Went for my scan this morning. My follies have grown slightly - I've now got a 17, 15, 14,14 - not ideal but if they gave my another dose of menopur then it would be likely that my 14s and 15 would grown and that would be too many and we'd have to adbadnon the cylce all together. So we're going with what we have got!!! Diui to take place on Wendesday 12noon. Big injection tonight. Will take wednesday and maybe thrusday off work. I get to test on new years eve!!!! July ann - try to hold out until friday, I really hope things go your way this time!! Millie - where are you??????? hope you are okay SPeak soon ,uch love Lisa x x

Sorry about butting in on your thread but............. July ANN-you naughty girl, if Nikola was here she would be telling you off big time!! I thought you were not due to test until friday??? Well............did I read wrong or have you been up to your old tricks again??.......(you know its a no go to test early) On a serious note, if it is friday I hope you get a +ve but from what you said earlier re possible endo at least if its not your turn now it should be in the New Year because at least they have an idea what is wrong and can hopefully fix things. Take care Sarah xxx [Edited by SJ BROWN on 16-Dec-03 03:37]

Had my diui this morning - had a good sample and the insemination went well. Quite different from last time, they tilted the bed and left my for 15 minutes afterwards before getting up. Nothing like that hapened last time, why does practice within a clinic vary> shouldn't be allowed! Anyway, just trying to remain positive - re start my lovely pessaries this evening and carry on as normal. I'm at home this afternoon but will be back at work tomorrow and I break up for Xmas on Frisday so things aren't too bad. Millie - still no sign of you, Hope you are okay! July ann - sorry to hear of your -ive test, but if Sarah is right then you shouldn't have been testing until Friday - if so, hope t goes well and remember if you test early the result is often inacurate. Take care Lisa x x

hi lisa hi sarah I have been up to me old tricks again. Really do not feel pg so not sure if I will test on Friday. I think I will wait for af to show, which should be 10 oclock on Friday morning. Lisa glad to see it all went well today, they put the bed up for me and I rested with legs crossed for 10 minutes. The nurse did say that it would make no difference,if it was going to work it would. I'm looking after my god son today he is only 10 months old. I have not been able to do anything all day so hb will have to have a takeaway for tea tonight. Tracy he's mum has just found out she is pg again, some people are so lucky. well make sure you take care.the dreaded 2wks has started. millie hope you are ok. catch up soon july ann

Hi girls,so sorry I haven't been on for a while, I had ET last Thursday and have basically been resting as much as possible, got signed off work for a couple of weeks, much to my manager's disgust! But now am more or less back to normal as DH is back at work so am out and about with my little girl as usual, life just can't stop for two weeks can it? Anyway, on Day 9 of 2ww now. Have to say that I found ET this time particularly horrendous. last time they scanned me to check my bladder and said it didn't have to be full because I am slightly tilted and they could see anyway but this time it was a different doctor and he was insistent that I should be as full as possible and he kept scanning and I felt very full and he kept saying wait another five minutes!!! It was agony, what with the scanner pressing on top and the speculum pushing from the other end, I really felt like I was going to be sick at one stage. Did you find this July Ann? I'm not sure if you have ever had IVF Lisa but I'm sure I've read somewhere that July Ann did? Anyway it was awful and as you can't get up for 20 minutes even afterwards, I had to wee in a bed pan as I simply couldn't wait, how dignified!! Anyway, have started to feel some slight AF pains today and am starting to feel negative but desperately trying to push those feelings away as I have read several posts today from the positive girls saying they had those anyway. Thing is I can't remember if I had them with my little girl but have definitely had them since and not been pregnant since. I guess its no good trying to second guess! I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you this time July Ann and will be keeping fingers crossed for you Lisa, glad your IUI went well. If I do get a neg this time I won't be doing IVF again as they are finding that I produce a great number of eggs of mixed quality and the good ones develop well, hence 8 good quality embryos this time but on day 3 prior to transfer many of them are arresting and this is exactly what happened last time. My consultant said that some women's eggs simply do not like being manhandled in the lab. Anyway, I had one x 1- and two x 2+ put back, they advised three in the circumstances, they had minimum fragmentation so am hopeful but of course there is the concern that as most of the others arrested that the other ones will too, still am trying to remain positive. In a certain way it is a bit of a relief as I found this IVF especially hard work, both mentally and physically. those injections make me eat like a horse so am sure i must have put on some weight too!! So if this doesn't work we may go back to trying DIUI but will think about that later on. love Millie
