Hi baby08, I have edited your new info into the previous post. Here's a big cheers and well wishes for your embies. How exciting. What will you get up to on the 2ww? Any plans?


How are others faring/fared with the stims? Being a poor ersponder, I am a little worried. I didn't get many side effects from the meds last time, even when I got 10 eggs (only 1 perfect Blast at the end though).

If you experienced any side effects (bloatedness, mood changes etc) on what day did you notice them manifesting.

Gosh - I never analyse my body and moods so carefully except when on a cycle. This process certainly is enough to send you cuckoo . I also find that I crave the caffine and alcohol so much more, when I can't have any of their calming, theraputic effects arh!

Do you want see the man in charge or the women who knows what's going on?

1st: cancelled (2004)

Hi Everyone!
Happy Weekend!

Congrat Baby08 on your great transfer. I too have been feeling very bloated since my ER - my stomach and been painful to touch. I can't imagine it is OHSS since I only got 5 eggs but what else could it be?

Princess and Talisen_cat - hope the shots are going well!!! You are getting so close now.

Hopealways - how did you last scan go? Best of luck with you ER on Tuesday!

JenB - good luck tomorrow, hope your lining is progressing well!!

Hi to everyone else!!! Hope you are all doing well!

I just got back from my ET and they transfer two embies today. They were 'a bit slow' - 4 cell - but they said that they were grade 1 and not to worry about it... they'll catch up. They told me that ICSI embies often lag slightly behind so I am hopeful. I may post on the general forum to get some positive 4 cell stories!

Then about 5 mins ago the lab called to tell me that my one embie that they are transferring on Tuesday survived the thaw today and is looking great. I am so relieved!!! So, by tuesday I'll have 3 on board! I am hoping and praying that this is lucky number 7 for us!

Not much planned for the 2ww - movies and evening activities to keep me busy! Usualy the first week is a breeze and the second week is painfully slow!

Had a great weekend up at the cottage. It was cool but the sun was shining so it was a nice way to spend Fri evening and Saturday!

Thinking of all of you and hoping for an October and November full of BFP!!!

Hello Ladies!!!!

Just read all the msg and i can see that things are going well!

That's wonderfull!!!

ALL THE BEST for those who are in 2ww. That must be very exciting and i can imagine that you must be waiting till the ends and get a BFP!!!! YUPPI!

Ladies on stimms: hope you are not having any side affects.

As for me, still on down reg waiting for AF to start simms.

Had a very busy weekend with sister-in-law's engagment so today im so knackerd.... wish i could stay in bed all day...lol

ER means egg retrival or egg colection (EC)?
Some of you has been mentioning on ER just want to make sure is the same thing.

Luv and BFP wishes to all

Hello

Post by PrincessB »

Hello everyone! Happy Monday. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm excited to see so many of you doing the retrievals and transfers already.

For everyone-Are you taking time off of work after the transfer? My doc said it's okay to return to work because i sit at a desk all day but I have a stressful job. Any suggestions?

I had my first lupron last night. DH did it and i didnt even feel it! I iced it down for about 7 minutes before.

10 fertilized

Princess well done that your shots didn't hurt...goon on Dh and the ice...that is half the battle ...wo-hoooooooo
is lupron a down reg or stim???
I am taking time off before and after ET...just that i find the stress of it all difficult and my job is very emotional. so best for me to lay low 1st week of 2ww...others find it good to work...but i prefere to laze about read and go gentle walks, hoping the embies embed better without stress x x

Anie Ec ( egg collection) and ER ( egg retrieval) are same thing. In uk its mainly EC and in US its ER... When is AF due ???? Should we be jigging for ya???

Hopeful you are so right to look after you...good luck with FET...are you on any meds prior or just a natural FET??? we shall be ( hopefully on my part) on 2ww together :shock: Good luck x x

Hi to everyone else x x x

kelly and Baby08 x x sticky baby dust to ya both...
kelly good lcuck tomorrow with other transfer ...hope the little one is a multi celled blast x x x

well my scan today showed lining at 7.1mm and IM( clinic) says i am good to go...but waiting on news of the donor which should come any day now. just gotta then book flights hotels, acu for pre- post ET and book kennels for my dog x x

WE will soon all be on our way x x to gloriuos BFP!S

love jen

PrincessB-I knew you could do the shots girl!

Anie-I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope a/f comes soon! You need to get those stims going.

I agree with Jenbabes, take some time off. Even if you sit all day stress can still get to you. I will be taking the day before the transfer off to do some acupunture, then RE recommends 48 hrs bed rest, so I will do that and just take an extra day off to relax.

but for now, I just took my last bcp! WAAAAHOOOOOO!!!!I am scheduled for my first b/w on Monday the 22nd. :D

You are all in my thoughts ladies....babydust to all.

jen babes - wanted to ask a question about accu.

I only done it once before and want to give it a go this cycle. Which dates would you recommend I mean how many days before ET?

BTW - Im doing natural FET cycle this time, judging from prev result I think my body doesnt handle drugs very well ...so I decided to go as natural as I can this time. Hoping for better results.

PrincessB - I agree with the ladies. Take some time off if you can, esp if your job is stressful. Speaking of which I'm officially on holidays as of now.... AAAAAHH 8) got few more tests before FET date is confirmed....

Lots of luck to all!
