Any of you gals on the shots right now having uncomfortable pains around your ovaries? As my follies grow, I feel like my ovaries are about to pop! And the sonos are getting very uncomfortable too. I guess this is one of the many pains I will feel along the way!

Dear all, hope everyone is fine here.
Jen, sorry about your mood dear. Lots of hugs for u, take care.
I have not been posting much here as I wasn't sure of any of my dates. Yesterday was my HSG Scan (first move with the new cycle). I don't remember having anything like this during my first cycle. My first clinic did not require me to go for this scan. Is this important for IVF? has anyone gone for this prior to ivf/icsi? It was really uncomfortable and then I ended up with AF cramps. I asked the doc what is this done for he said it's for studying my tubes. Why would they want to study my tube if ours is severe male factor and that we have already gone through one cycle. I m so down, I feel like the time is being wasted. The clinic has yet to give me dates for the standard blood screening tests. I called up the nurse and she says call after two weeks. I m so confused even though I have a ivf calendar given to me by the clinic. This is so different from my first clinic.
Please advice, am I being too impatient? or is there anything I could do?

Chel,
About the HSG, its not normal protocol with all clinics, though some doctors like to be thorough with everything- though IVF does not require the tubes to be perfect like IUI, if there is an indication of hydrosalpinx(which means theres a block in the middle of the tube, and it is likely to swell up like a balloon during the HSG test), they would like to remove that or do something about it, cause apparently, the fluid in the hydrosalpinx can be toxic not to us, but to the embies and thus prevent implantation..
hope i helped and didnt puzzle you further.
Wishing you luck and sending you positive thoughts to help you cheer up..

Chel, I had a HSG. The clinic organised it as part of our tmt before we started IVF. I didn't know that not all clinics offered this.We have unexplained infertility.
I was allowed to watch the screen and saw all my tubes and bits! Quite alarming but reassurring too. I felt pretty rough afterwards but didn't take long to bounce back.
I know what you mean about waiting for appointmnets and wasting time. I have had 3 cycles delayed/abandoned due to AF appearing at the wrong time,cysts on both ovaries and sniffing to down reg not working!!
It is now almost November and I had my HSG on March 1st!! Am getting frustrated as we can't seem to get past the down reg stage.
Sending you positive thoughts
Best of luck

Fulloffaith - I haven't had the symtoms you're experiencing. This is only my first time around though. Have you rung your clinic to see what they say?
I've been battling a bit with the merionel injections. The whole mixing bit is so fiddly and I swear i'm either losing half of it or injecting myself with big lumps of air. The other night I ended up crying, not because I cut my thumb(again) on the stupid glass phial, not because the injection hurt, but because I was so sure I was getting it wrong and messing it all up.
I've managed to stop panicking so much now and I am getting better at it, but why does it have to be so stressful?
I'm back at the clinic tomorrow to see how my ovaries are getting on. If I'm still doing OK we'll be ER next Tuesday - 8th November. So please pray for me if you're religous, and keep your fingers crossed for me if you're superstitious!
