Went for my scan today, 32 follies in total, many of which are still little. There are quite a few at 11-12mm but nurse is hoping to get them to 18mm. Unfortuntatley, she found some which are damaged/scarred by the endo
Got to carry on stimming until mid-week. EC anticipated end of week.
Bit sad that endo has got to ovaries though
Pauline, great news, I bet you are excited about Monday?

32 follies is fab and i'm sure they'll grow to the right size ready for ec at the end of next week. i'll be sending you follie growing thoughts over the week.
get plenty of r& r ready for ec

Sorry haven't had chance to post much been so busy. Well had my scan on Thursday and there were 6 follies not a large number unfortunately I had 2 at 18mm one at 12.5mm and the rest at 11mm. So i was sent to the clinic on Friday morning for another scan to see what they thought, first they wanted to cancel my cycle as I had 1 at 21mm one at 18mm and 1 at 14.5mm the other were still the same. After speaking to a doctor they have decided to go ahead with EC on Sunday and hopefully they will get 3 at least but praying for 4.
I think because everything else is perfect this time my endo is fine nice and thick there is no fluid, no strands and no polyps (this has always been my problems in the past) they want to continue. Plus last time the 5 eggs 3 turned into top grade embies, so hoping the same this time.
Hope eveyone one else is doing fine, Minnow congratulations that is fabulous news. Nickimark well done on your scan. PMA to everyone else.
Hi Jane ... Try not to be disappointed about the number of follies. Remember, it's the quality of the eggs they contain that is important. Also, focus on the good points - nice thick endo, no polyps .. just the right environment for snuggling down !! Good luck Jane with your EC tomorrow, and we'll wait to hear your news when you're up and able.

hi Mayflowers. thanks for your well wishes and support. i'm still in a state of shock! HCG levels have doubled in 2 days so that's great. next milestone will be the first scan in 3 weeks.
keeping up to date with all of you and there seems to be plenty of follie action going on. for all of those having a big week next week with EC or ET, best of luck and cant wait to hear how it's gone.
have a lovely weekend all.

Start downregging for 2nd cycle on May 2nd. natural conception discovered May 12th. OMG!
I am reading each day to learn how each of you is doing and it seems that May is an incredible month! As I read about those of you testing, waiting, 2ww, I just want to reach out and give you a great big hug. I've never felt such an emotional journey as those times, esp. the 2ww! Just hang in there, be strong and remember that there are no right/wrong signs that you should/shouldn't be feeling - everyone is different!! I miss you guys so much as you were the best support system I could have ever found. Not sure if I'd have made it without all of you!!
Hi girls, lovely to catch up again.
Hope you are all feelin' fine.
I am now taking the next 2 weeks off, as my boss has totally pissed me off now!!!
Went back to work on friday after scan told him I would need another scan on monday and would be back in the afternoon again. ok? No apparently not.
He said 'so are you taking these days a holidays?' I said to him that I didn't have any hols left now as time off for fertility treatment has exceeded days now.
I have 25 days a year. 22 are already booked (going away) that leaves me with 3 days and already Ive had 4.5 days for fertility appointments etc.... So I said 'what are you saying, I you wont alowe me to have this as ive not holidays left?'
He said I am not saying that at all, just that it's not fair on the other staff that you have more time off. I said that It's not like I am having a holiday or crusing the world for gods sake!!
So he's left it as he'll let me take this cycle off but after that he'll make me owe them back holiday. Impossable huh??
I am now taking it to his area manager, and getting the doctor to sign me off!
But the worst things was that he then went on about work stuff etc... (yawn) and then said sorry Ive not been over to see you, (he's located in another office) but ive been busy as ive been off as my wife (who's pregant btw) had a scan to see what sex the baby is. and we're having a girl.
Kick me whilst im down huh???
So I am really not happy with work at all!
Trying to chill out......... How can i with that ****** around?
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!

Oh Nicola .. It sounds to me like a couple of weeks signed off is the best option right now. Got to say, he does sound like a to**er. You don't need all this additional stress on top of tmt. You were upfront with him, and tried to play fair .. and just got kicked in the teeth. His loss !
