That's ok Boris, sometimes they give a higher dose you basically just take the whole thing whatever they gave you so you have done it right. I've never known anybody wait 30 hours after last stimm to do trigger. I've probably done mine around 22-23 hours after last stimm as they need to time it precisely with the time that they are going to do egg collection. Sounds like you've done everything right so don't worry now and go off and enjoy Brno if you can Smile

The clinic also told me to take Gonal f and orgalutran last night and again this morning, then pregnyl tonight. But the pregnyl instructions say clearly not to take until after 30 hours after last stimm medication. Confused

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 23:25

It was pregnyl. 4 syringes to mix with my crappy needle exchange syringes.

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 23:25

The prescription was for 10000 ou. I've just take it, all of it Confused. Damn

Stealth is right Boris you use all the trigger shot. If it's Pregnyl it should be 5000iu.

I believe you just stab in all the trigger shot hark at Dr stealth Sorry your clinic are being so crap, you should definitely complain.

Oh haha sorry Sammy I copied my reply from another thread to save me typing it out lots of different times but obviously you didn't need the bit about samdog and joberyl 

Glad all is going well so far and fingers crossed for your scan Friday.

Boris, the anaesthetic is amazing and nothing to worry about at all. My mum came with me last time and was laughing at me as I came back to the room and was saying ohhh the anaesthetic is sooo lovely, it's the best part about all this. I don't think it's a general anaesthetic that's just what they call it. They put a drip in your arm and you will feel all fuzzy and go off to sleep but it's so light that by the time they've finished the procedure in 10 mins they will take you off it and you will be awake almost straight away. You don't feel tired or anything afterwards just back to normal.

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 22:23

They've said not to eat or drink for 6 hours before the procedure that requires General anaesthetic but haven't said what procedure. I assumed egg collection.

I'm not holding out for an answer to my question about what the general abasthetic is for. They've been crap at answering my emails. They still haven't confurmed the amount of prognyl I need to take or if im ok to take anti biotics with other meds.

loopylou1984 · 29/02/2016 22:17

My egg collection was just a sedative, Although I remember very little about it so may as well have been asleep!
I can't remember Lucie mentioning a GA.... Xx

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 21:59

Aha sammy sorry about your baby bomb.

I just read the consent forms fir the clinic. Do they do egg collection under General anaesthetic Shock Shock didn't realise

loopylou1984 · 29/02/2016 20:57

Yeah I know, now I keep thinking 'ooh it'll be nice if our babies are 5 months apart' lol. Talk about mood swings, 1 minute I'm thinking I've got no chance, the next I'm planning play dates with the neighbours!

Meds are going fine so far, the patches irritate the skin a little, much the same as having a plaster on for a few days does, but tolerable. My next scan is Friday morning. I'm terrified that my lining is going to be ridiculously thin again, but I guess with the anti nausea meds as a back up I can just up my estrogen dose.

Can I ask who samdog and joberyl are? Xx

Thanks Sammy and sorry to hear about the baby bomb but hopefully you will be joining them soon. How are your meds going? When do you have your next scan?

Hi banana, so far so good thanks :).

Boris - what a stressful time you're having with meds and applicators! Glad you've got it all sorted now, and have a good flight! You're nearly there!!!

Lucie and stealth - glad your scans went well :).

Trixie - nice name change!

I just got baby bombed by the neighbours! Popped round to ask a favour and they announced they have their 20 week scan in a couple of weeks time. They're lively so I'm really pleased for them, their 15 month old is very cute so sure the new one will be too. It's just not fair. Xx

Trixie, if I have a 5 day transfer then intralipids will be 15 days before or 12 days before a 3 days transfer. The 12 days would be fine. Dr Sher says 10-14 days before transfer. I will ring and see if they can push it back a few days but it was a massive struggle to get this appt so not sure they will.

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 14:00

Like the name change trixie :)

MPP81 · 29/02/2016 13:38

Glad your scans went well, Stealth and Lucie, and pleased you got your needles Boris! :)

JustTrixie · 29/02/2016 13:29

Well done Boris! Hopefully you can relax now before your flight tomorrow.

BorisIsBack · 29/02/2016 13:21

Stealth and lucie, that all sounds promising, stealth your follicles sound good and healthy.

I finally got needles. Had to go to the needle exchange at a pharmacy in the backstreet of town. The uni medical centre also wouldn't give me them. My doctors surgery wouldnt give them to me, they said I had to make an appointment with the doctor which wouldn't be for another 3 weeks. I nearly cried at that point. Ho well.

JustTrixie · 29/02/2016 13:20

Ah, imagine it will be the same with my hospital here then. How many days before transfer will it be?
Minor name change Smile last time I tweaked you had to use numbers but turns out you don't now.

No trixie, I am having treatment at the main hospital in Wales. It's massive and they have their own pharmacy which I assume is very well stocked! Got the meds now and on my way back to work. Next problem to think about is I think my intralipids are going to be too early now if my egg collection is not going to be until the 14th ahhhh

OP posts:
Trixietwenty16 · 29/02/2016 12:41

All sounds really good Stealth!

Glad it went well Lucie, hopefully you get 3 (or more!). Do they not give you your prescription in advance then? My local pharmacy had to order in so last time I had to wait a day for my meds.

lucieloos · 29/02/2016 12:17

Stealth glad you're scan went well and they are slowly getting bigger. Hopefully it won't be too much longer now.

Samdog, hope your bleeding has stopped now!

Joberyl, brilliant news about your job and also the time off for treatment. Sounds like it's all falling into place!

My baseline scan all went well. She said the lining looks nice and thin which is how they want it at this stage and ovaries look good. She gave me my prescription there and then which is short flare protocol again. I have done this once at reprofit and whilst I only had 3 eggs collected like most other times, 2 of the 3 fertilised and both made it to blast so I'm happy to give it another go. I start suprecur tonight and 300iu Menopur from tomorrow which will be day 3. I have another scan next Tuesday which will be day 10 of my cycle but equivalent of day 9 as I normally start meds on day 2 and not day 3. They think egg collection might be 2 weeks today but they will know more at next weeks scan. Just waiting for my big bag of meds from the pharmacy now. Eeekk here we go again!

stealthbanana · 29/02/2016 10:23

Hope your scan goes well lucie!

Boris I too have loads of needles but probs too late to get them to you.

My scan went well, doctor was happy with the way I'm responding & lots of the smaller follies are starting to catch up too. He doesn't count follies but just from my sideways eyeball of the ultrasound I've got 3-4 at c 14mm and still 20+ between 10-12mm.

Doctor would like to keep going low and slow to get the most eggs possible, so has nudged back my gonal f from 150iu to 125iu. He is saying it's most likely that EC will be early next week - he's happy with mature follies being anywhere up to 26mm so I've got some headroom with the slightly bigger ones.

Next scan Thursday. So feeling happy, although this all seems a bit neverending!
