EC next weekend - need buddies!

Thank heavens this site is back - I thought I would have to do it alone!<br>I have been injecting for 7 days - have really bloated out today ( don't remember this happening so soon last time) and probably looking at egg collection round the bank holiday - i have a scan tomorrow so will know more. Is anyone out there who is around this time too or can reassure me about the bloating?<br><br>SAmK

Hi Lissa,<br><br>Am really bloated! Went for a scan today and there are 11, but they still think i am hyper stimulating as after 7 days they are 16mm! They have taken some blood to check estrogen but I am concerned I will have to coast again. If not ec will be on saturday.<br><br>I will be back in the Lister on Thurs for anther scan - it is much quieter at the moment - just after Christmas it was mad.<br><br>Please you have kicked off again - when do u think your dates wil be or is it too early to say?

Hi Sam<br>Fingers crossed for you ec - hope all goes well.<br>Not sure about my dates but I figured I would be sniffing and injecting for May and that I should be on 2ww first two weeks of June.<br>Hopefully the sun will be shining and I can sit in my garden and incubate! I presume you will be on 2ww next week and after? Are you going to be at home?<br>x

Hi everyone<br><br>Tracey S - ont he basis that everything goes smoothly for me ( which now I've said it won't do) we should only be 2 days apart ( my et should be tuesday) so it would be cool to be your buddy - I think it will help a lot! I need as many people as possible to tell me not to do early tests - and I would be delighted to return the favour!<br><br>Donut - good luck with your fertilised results, that bit of waiting is always horrid - keeping fingrs crossed for big juicy ones - let us know<br><br>Lissa - sunshine sounds good , but being the pessimist I want to go on a fabbo holiday when (if) it fails so I am trying not to take any holiday ( taking sick would be a no no my place) so I think I will come back to work 2days after transfer. The distraction will be good if nothing else. Must resist lifting<br><br>I think the gonal f is sending me a bit teary last night the injection hurt a bit and I was wailing away afterwards for a good 10 mins. I think my poor DH was a bit peturbed! Feel a bit stupid now.<br><br>Back for hopefully final scan tomorrow

Hi Sam<br>How ya doin?<br>I remember the gonal f made my very teary, a the drop of a hat infact. I remember walking around B&Q carrying cans of paint wearing huge sunglasses and crying my eyes out because of some stupid Mariah Carey song on the tannoy!! <br>Not long to go now, just get through the weekend and you're off!<br>Good luck - thinking of you!<br>Lol<br>Lissa<br>x

Hi Sam & all<br><br>Managed at last to log on, thought i was going mad. I have my day 10 scan tomorrow, day 8 scan showed 17 follies but they were quite small, i'm only on 100puregon a day as last time had slight ohss. I'm slightly worried as i don't really want to produce too many more follies as the ones there need to hurry up and grow, the docs don't want to up the dose in case i start ohss again, anyone any thing similar happened or am just unessarily worrying?? I think if all goes well EC will be middle of next week.<br><br>love DebTxx

Hi everyone <br><br>I'm glad I'm not the only teary one - the other rather disturbing side effect is that I am finding the most unlikely men attractive! Just put it down to being about to ovulate!<br><br>So swollen - i look like i have a balloon up my jumper!
