Hey girls,

sorry feeling to bad for personals. Just to let you know that tomorrow I will be flying to Angola, so I wot be able to post for a couple of days. I might be back later today though! Depends on how I feel.

I think OHSS is back because of the post ET HCG shot I had. It is really painful now and impossible for me to find a comfortable position to sleep... It feels like I cant breathe anymore, my tommy ,stomach are massive!

lOVE TO ALL

Good morning ladies

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your kind words over the last couple of days. We did get through yesterday, but it was a nightmare and I feel this morning like I have run a marathon. I have not even managed to get dressed yet, and have to go down to work in an hour. I was wondering this morning though whether this tiredness is just due to the 18 hour day we worked yesterday and all of the stress we are under. I remember reading somewhere that one of the first signs of pregnancy is that you feel really tired. Also I thought a couple of days ago I was coming down with a cold. I have still got a bit of a sore throat but it hasn't developed into much more. Also when we came upto the flat last night DH had a cigarette and normally the smell doesn't bother me. I was two rooms away and the smell was overpowering. Could these be signs that it has worked or am I being paraniod again. I really really hope it has, but after this week have lost alot of my hope.

Souris - I really hope that you feel better soon. If you can't breathe very well it sounds like you should phone the clinic again. I know that we were told if it got to the point that my breathing was affected we should phone the consultant on call incase they needed to admit us. On the plus side I have read that OHSS is made worse if you are pregnant so it could be a good sign.

Ange - I hope that the swelling goes down soon and that you get some good news about your little embrios tommorow. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.


Jemima - Well done on your first Gonal F shot. We used gonal F on our first IUI and the needle was that thin that I could hardly feel it. Glad to hear that you have said good bye to AF, I told mine she could take a holiday too. Aren't we mad?

Zirly - Good luck for Monday. I am glad you mentioned about the time difference as we would have been worried about you. All the best.

Sadmommy - Only 3 more sleeps to go for your test. Good luck

Dar - how is my testing buddy. just think a week tommorow we will know our fate. I hope that the next week goes a bit quicker than the last one, preferably with a bit less stress would be nice.

Jackie, Vicki and Becky, Sorry to hear you are all having such a bad time. Life really is a B***h. Not only is it bad enough that your treatment didn't work, but AF makes the pain worse. I wish I could take the pain away. Hopefully it will help to clear out your system of all the drugs so that you will be ready to start again.

Mortisha - Hang in there and don't lose your PMA. It may not all be over yet and you need to keep positive.

Nimble - Thank you for your offer of coming to help me. Reading your post this morning really made me fill up. This week has been one of the worst while I have worked in this job and most of the **** committee who we work for have done nothing to help ease it, apart from 2 friends on there who did help last night. mind you they both know about the IVF.

Well I had better go down to work now.

Take care everyone
Angela

Good morning! Wow...these hormones are really getting the best of me. No doubt about that.

I don't have much to report. I am anxious for tomorrow to come to get my Beta.

Angela...I wanted to say (and I hope I don't get your hopes too up here)...but I always get a sore throat when I am preggo (and oddly enough, I have one now). That is not an uncommon sign from what I have read. And the smell thing is also very encouraging! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Ok...talk to you all later.

Tiger girl, thanks a lot. I will try to find it tomorrow. In case i can't get it, im so glad your nurse also mention McD French Fries. Nyummy... Why i want to eat all the time now :( Anyway, Good luck to you too...

Souris, I really hope that you feel better soon. Have a nice and save trip. We'll see u soon with your BFP news. :D :D

Angela, If AF keeps its promise not coming for next 10 months at least. I don't mind if it come again regularly until i am 70, may be? :D :D Take care your self. Another 8 night to sleep. I think you are sensitive to DH smoke it is a good sign for your dream come true. :D :D

sadmommy, you are in thought and prayer for a very strong BFP.

Debz, thanks. I really hope they are coming. Because all the time i didn't have anything to tell. Im so exciting to do this. How are you with lupron?

Anyway, I read Jackie mentioned to keep our legs up during 2 WW. Sorry another silly question. How far? 30 degree? 45? 60? Why we should keep our legs up? How long do we keep them up?

Thanks ladies. Talk to you later. God Bless us

Luv, Jemma

Angela:

Not to get your hopes up, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was so hypersensitive to smells! And even before my missed AF date, I felt like I was getting the flu, and all I wanted to do was eat and sleep. The tiredness was a bone deep feeling, like i couldn't even lift my arms or legs. And the smell sensitivity got worse and worse. I could smell everyone's breath, body odor, etc.

So, this could be good news!

I am feeling a bit better today. My fluid retention has gone down some. Yesterday I was miserable, stomache was swollen and distended, couldn't even walk hardly, and it was hard to take a deep breathe.

Tomorrow we should find out how many fertilized eggs, out of the six we have, are dividing. I can't wait.

Good luck to everyone!

ok...I'm stressing already and I haven't even triggered yet.

I'm really worried I've ovulated!!...I've got the sensitive nipples I usually get áfter I've ovulated and also don't feel as "heavy"around the ovary area as I did yesterday! I sopke to my Dr yesterday att he scan about my concerns and he said that it wouldn't happen because the buserelin will stop ovulation.

I guess I'm worried because it happened to a friend of mine and her whole cycle was ruined!...

has anyone else experienced the sensitve breasts/nipples before triggering??

Hi..Just me again Image

Thanks for your reassurance Luvbabies and Aunty. I'm sure Alex(my nurse at the clinic) thinks I'm completey bonkers Image as I called her crying my eyes out convinced I'd ovulated. It Turns out that my E2 is now 7254 up from yesterday so very unlikely that I have ovulated and the symptoms I'm gettign may just be the high E2.

Anyways....trigger tonight 1am and EC 1pm Wednesday and if all goes to plan ET on Saturday morning.

Will check back in later

I cant believe I am actually starting this all over again. I am excited but to be honest I am so nervous, not so much about the procedure but I am so scared of getting OHSS again. They have cut my protocol in half but oh boy just the thought of it makes me cringe.
I am hoping that my numbers on tuesday are good so that I can start. It has been a year so I dont really remember the protocol. I know I had birth control pills for 10 days the last time, But I can't remember if that was for the cyst I had or just part of the cycle.
We have my husbands sperm frozen, so I guess they have to thaw the swimmers out, and I will be having ICSI again. We had a great fertilization rate last time but the quality of the eggs were not good I guess because we only got 6 eggs to blastocyst from 41. 30 of the 41 fertilized, but only 6 good. That is pretty bad. We used 4 and they didn't work, 2 each time and 1 died when they tried to thaw it out. I still have one in freeze but I am afraid to use it as my insulin was 17 when I produced those eggs. It is now down to 9 the last time I checked so hopefully it will stay low. I am going to ask them to check it on Tuesday Before I start all this to make sure it is low enough.
This time I am going to ask alot of questions and make sure they do everything right. I had a really screwed up cycle last time and they really didn't do things right but I love my doctor and wanted to try 1 more time with her. I dont think I can do this again so I am praying that we get pregnant this time as this will probably be the last time. I am afraid of the drugs and all the things I have done to my body. How do I know what these drugs side effects are going to be in the future.I WAS ALREADY HOSPITALIZED ONCE FROM THIS. I AM SCARED.
I have to tell you that the September testing post has given me a headache, I don't even look at it anymore, I know how you all feel as I have been there 2x. I have never had a fresh cycle so I am praying that it will be the one for me. I have done everything they said, I am doing acupuncture, and staying away from sugar so what more can we do, metformin 3x a day STAND ON YOUR HEAD. Unfortunately for us, IVF is the only way we are able to conceive as my husband has BAVD, Bilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens. He is such a wondeful man and loves children so much it seems so unfair, Now if I can just implant we would be fine, as he had his surgery last year and we have enough sperm to last a lifetime.
Geez I am rambling on, I will post on Tuesday ladies and I wish all of you a BFP AND LOADS OF BABY DUST.
Thank you for being my ear, when I need a listener and a shoulder when I need to cry, You will all be in my heart always.
