My EC on Friday went great didnt feel a thing and couldnt remember anything afterwards, they used a drug which affects your memory, apparntly i was blabbing away all the way through and even watched the scan display which I dont usually. I got 9 eggs (last scan i had said i would have 5). I've checked with clinic and 3 were immature and of 6 mature 4 fertilised (on ICSI) so hoping those little embies are splitting as they're supposed to... Having ET on Monday all being well and got to decide if putting back 2 or 1.

Hi Christina,
This is my 1st time too - everyone is so helpful and welcoming here! So glad I started posting... With your injections, are you on the d.reg stage or stims? Everyone seems to be on different ones and I'm not sure of all the diff names!
Anyway Good Luck to you!
Kel
well my levels have gone up again so No injections yet. When I phoned they said someone will phone me tomorrow to tell me what to do next as the consultant was away for the day. More waiting.
Hi
thank u for replying. I just started the stimms yesterday. Using merional. I feel ok really. Bit achy round my belly but nothing too much. How about u? Good Luck!

That's good that you're not feeling too bad then! How much longer have you got to do them?
Well I am only on the 1st stage had my long acting injection on tues and don't go back now until 2nd June for stimms! Arrggghh seems like I am lagging behind everyone!! Just want the time to pass!
Kel,
I have been down regulating for 49 days i have had my AF twice they told me I didnt need a blood test if I had my Af but I thought I would get one anyway as I have never had one.
Then when I had it they said my levels were too high , they were going down on the third blood test but now they are going up again. They are a very busy clinic and I think to start with I was schedualed for so long just to fit into their timetable of scans etc. Anyway not much I can do ABOUT IT.........................EXCEPT ANOTHER BLOOD TEST
Bro - Blimey! That is not fair!! They need to get organised to get it right for you.. Can they change your levels for d.regging or not? Or change to injections?
Kel.
I am on the stimms for 2 weeks, I go for another scan 2morrow,2 see if the merional is working. I was on the Buserelin for 3 weeks but the time soon goes. Just trying to take it as it comes. It felt like a lifetime for me also. Got another blood test 2morrow also & the down reg drug buserelin worked very effectively, thankfully.

Have you thought about ringing another clinic for advice? I did and they were more than happy to help, It is really a long time that you have been downregging.
