Thanks, I think I need it.

I have noticed that since I have been taking it, I have managed to stop getting as itchy as I did, but I keep feeling all strange...

One minute I feel really hot and sweaty, like I'm getting a hot flush, then I feel queasy and light headed, like I need to be sick. I am really grouchy all the time and I'm so tired that all I want to do is sleep;

At the begining of last week, I just kept feeling really super sensitive and emotional, and had so many silly conversations with my dp about God knows what, buecause I was in such a rubbish mood, and felt like he was being funny on purpose...

...

It wouldn't be so bad if I knew for definate that I was just feeling funny because of the medication, but I don't... I'm only two weeks into it.... I'm hoping that i can go another 3 weeks without any major freak outs!

I bet my dp is feeling the same!!!

Welcome elleR!

How was everyone's weekend? AF has finally left and now the count down to the big O begins..once this happens then 7 days after O I start sniffing! I am so excited

Hi Elle, you don't need to ask to join....just come on in!! Good luck with your appointment on Wednesday.

I agree Leigh, it is a nice rainbow and they are a real pain to change. We might even get you into the Guiness Book of World Records if you leave it for a bit longer.

Sandra, when is your appointment? How exciting, a new clinic. I really hope this clinic works out for you and is able to provide the service that you deserve. Thanks for your wishes, I am feeling positive this time around and I am really hoping it will be my last.

Lumi, a short protocol is one where you start downregging on CD4 and stimming on CD5. This lasts for about 12-13 days so the whole thing is over with in about 2 weeks. Yay. I am still doing the AF jig in your honor and trust me, it is not a pretty sight. DH, the dogs and the cats really hope she shows up for you sooner rather than later!

Nes, I don't think the drugs make me tired...could be all the stress associated with treatment. I know after treatment I feel like I could sleep for a month! Hope you are feeling a bit better, for both yours and DPs sake.

Love the attitude Traci...roll on O so you can get started!

Have a great week ladies. (Thank God I could edit that last bit out....bit embarrassing in light of our cricketers performance overnight!)

Cheers
Heather

Hello everyone... I am a newcomer to the site

I was wondering whether I could join as an October buddy?
I am scheduled to start my first IVF the first week of October and know that I will desperately need your support

Apart from DH, I don't have anyone to share with.

I am not completely sure of all the abbreviations so please excuse my ignorance. Any chance there is a glossary somewhere?

Wishing you all heaps of luck

Hey little r(rebecca)!!
We have a Little P here, and now we have a little R!
Theres a thread right on top called "abbreviations and definitions"
It shd clarify most if not all the short forms used here..
Welcome to the site and wish you lots of luck for a successful treatment!

Thank you Smita for the tip about the abbreviations.... crumbs was lost there for a while... I'll gradually get the hang of it

Thank you Little P and Smita for your thoughts....I see that you are BOTH giving us hope

with your "+ve" results

Bye for now

Hi Little R - welcome! We all have a book which we recommend by Zita West called 'fertility and conception'..it discusses how to prepare, what to expect and the different stages..you might want to check out Amazon for a copy. Of course no question is a dumb question - so ask away!

DebraP · Post by **DebraP** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 6:06 pm

just being a stickybeak here....

Nes, I have identical symptoms. I had a terrible first hot flush that sent me to the loo as I was convinced I was going to be sick. I've been exhausted for days, droppingly tired by 9pm despite only working p/time. My tmt has been delayed by a week due to my LH still being too high last Friday, so I have to DR for an extra week which I could live without, the hot flushes at night are something else again. I'm expecting EC/ET the week after you now.

Good luck all you lovely October buddies

hugs
Debra.

Debra - I think you will be very busy with the test dates in October

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend

Oktoberfest is starting here in Munich and we have our first visitor Saturday evening, then Thursday we have 4 visitors for a long weekend (my sis, BIL, and 2 of their friends)...I have to admit I will not be good that weekend....I don't drink beer except one time per year and it will be next weekend

Hi Girls,

Just popping in to say hi. I really hope i'll be able to join you in this month but have to wait for some blood tests to know for sure. I got pregnant in October 16 years ago, so maybe this October thread will be my lucky month

Take care everyone, October's almost here.

Hugggs

Hello October buddies...

Thanks Traci...hope you're not too stressed with your visitors...
About Zita West's book, I have ordered it following your recommendation, but obviously have not been able to peruse or check contents.
I just wanted to know whether it gives you any concrete advice in terms of what you should and should not do before/during/ and after IVF treatment.
I am not sure to what extent you have to be careful after ET for example.

Wishing you all a great weekend

Thanks for being there

Little R
