Pauline they check my levels by doing a blood test to see what my levels are. If you get lots of follies your hormone (estradile) levels go too high and so when you do the trigger shot before EC you become a risk of getting OHSS. I always end up having bloods done everyday in the second week of stimming. It's a pain in the bum as it takes me and hour to get to the hospital and and hour to get home and the wait for blood tests at my hospital can be rediculous (I had to wait 2 hours yesterday!!! ) so I get really fed up but they do it for my own good. I'd hate to get OHSS again.
Hope your scan on Friday goes well. Have you had a scan already?
Only me, sorry not been on this thread in a while.... I am sorry
I am here though today just to send you all great hugs!
To be honest at times I find it all so hard keeping up with it all, I work 35 hrs a week. and by the time I get home I dont get much time, now the evenings are light I find myself out more often.
I am trying to chill out as iui is coming next week, please forgive me. I have been reading andI am truely happy for you lot. I also want to say hi to all the newbies that have come recently. this place is to busy now!
Lets hope we all have success!!
I have my 1st scan friday, lets hope the follicle fairy has been to me!
Sending you hugs and baby dust......
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!!!

I hate to admit it but I am BORED RIGID!!! I have been downregging since day 21 of my cycle and it is now day 31 and AF hasnt appeared yet. last time it came on day 28 and i was hoping for the same again. i just want to start stimming now so that i can feel things are moving forward. i know you cant rush things but i'm now anxious about a trip to ireland from may 27th-30th. i had hoped little embies might be tucked up safely in me by then but now it's looking tight. it's dh's 40th so it will be a bit tricky to explain if we dont make it over to the party!! how long did everyone else downreg for??

Start downregging for 2nd cycle on May 2nd. natural conception discovered May 12th. OMG!
I'm just about to start sniffing for the first time on Monday so I can't help I'm afraid (always had Buserelin injections before)!, but I just wanted to send you hugs and PMA.
Big shouts to AF - "Get a move on, now would be a good time to show yourself "
Hope things happen soon for you so you can move onto the next stage.

I was on burserelin to down reg for 18 days! I was going mental, but I'm on 2ww now so its all OK in the end.
I know its hard but try to relax, you're body knows that for once you want AF to come so its awkward on purpose!
Little P
Good luck for Monday, I've never done sniffing, only injections, so cant give you any advice but hope you go OK
Thinking of you all

Minnow - On each cycle the Buserelin has made AF about 3 days late, so on each occassion have dowregged for about 11 days 'til AF appeared. It goes without saying that the more you worry, the longer it'll take - but there's no getting round that. Hope it comes along soon and you can move on ..

One of the managers here at work just came up behind me and poked me in each side - (you know, like when people creep up on you & poke you to see if you react) - well now my sides are aching a wee bit. I know he won't have done any 'damage' but that doesn't stop me fretting. I've told him if he comes near me again I'll thump him. I'm so thankful that I've taken the 2ww off, if he had done it during a 2ww I'm sure I would have killed him.
Minnow, hope it isn't long now until AF arrives. This time round I'd been sniffing for 25 days until I started injections.
