Brilliant news Sammy that's a nice number and lining is great. Will they measure it again before transfer? Hope it keeps getting thicker. I can't order from healthcare at home as I don't think they will take Czech prescriptions unfortunately. How did they deliver if it has to be kept cold out of interest?

Congratulations sammy! Good luck for the next few days.

Waves to everyone else. Hope all's going well. I'm still going but avoiding mumsnet to try and limit the craziness.

Lucie - my pregnyl last time was from healthcare at home. They deliver to you.

loopylou1984 · 01/07/2016 13:02

Hi girls, just got home.

9 eggs collected, lining 8mm!

They will call tomorrow with fertilisation results. Just hope we have something to transfer.They had a nightmare trying to get a cannula in, the consultant had to do it in the end.

Had Accupuncture afterwards, and am absolutely shattered now. Feeling a bit sore too.

Boris, congrats on the scan! Brilliant news. Just wanted to ask where you got your Pregnyl from? I'm going to try it this time around and they can't send if from Czech as it needs to be kept refrigerated. I know some have got their meds from supermarkets although with mixed success and was just wondering what you did?

Hope it went well today Sammy.

I'm sure the nurse won't bat an eyelid Itsme. I wasted a dose of my gonal f last time but had enough, I think they factor in the odd mishap.

Itsme247 · 01/07/2016 10:16

Good luck Sammy! I can only imagine how nice it would be to be free of the egg factory feeling!

MPP81 · 01/07/2016 09:36

Congrats on the award Sammy even though the timing sucks! And good luck today! Thinking of you.

Brenna24 · 01/07/2016 09:34

Best of luck Sammy. Everything crossed for you.

I only used 1 of my 2 menopur bottles, so you might be fine. Check with her anyway, she won't care.

In the waiting room now for egg collection. Feeling quite bloated this morning so looking forward to getting the eggs out of me! Just hope they don't find signs of OHSS in there Confused

Itsme247 · 30/06/2016 21:47

I think I might be OK, I've got ten days left? I'll tell her anyway when I go for my first scan, they might want to change my dose anyway!

Yep my trigger is Ovitrelle too. Do

Borisisback · 30/06/2016 21:32

Itsme - I'll bet the nurse is used to that confession. Hope you got / have enough of the drugs.

loopylou1984 · 30/06/2016 21:16

Itsme - if you don't confess are you going to have enough?
Is your trigger ovitrelle too? Xx

Itsme247 · 30/06/2016 21:05

Oh dear I had my first injection mess up today with the menopur, as I was pushing it into the second powder it just practically exploded out of the syringe onto the floor..

I don't want to fess up to the nurse that I've wasted an injection!

I'm just really drowsy, feel a bit of nausea about 20mins to an hour after the injection but my head is just in this fog.

So excited for you Sammy, I'll be a week behind (my trigger is next Saturday) all being well! At one of my best friends wedding!!

loopylou1984 · 30/06/2016 20:58

Oh god, I remember now! Shock

Borisisback · 30/06/2016 20:52

Our pregnyl fiasco was DH smashed all four vials into his thumbs, we had to syringe the drugs up from the floor, round the blood and broken broken glass. I've never known dH sob or be hysterical. he still has horrors about that night. Its such a stressful time, thoes fiddly vials should be banned! Really pleased you avoided a repeat of your previous horror. That should never be repeated.

loopylou1984 · 30/06/2016 20:45

Ha. Yes probably Boris! I laugh now, but cried my eyes out at the time.
I can't remember what happened with yours, but I know it was worse than mine! Xx

Brenna24 · 30/06/2016 20:42

Oh Sammy that timing sucks. Fingers crossed it is worth it.

Oh dear Boris Grin

Borisisback · 30/06/2016 20:37

I wonder if the national shortage of pregnyl is from loads of people smashing the vials and spilling the content trying to get the damn things open.

Good luck for tomorrow sammy everything crossed that it goes smoothly and congrats on the award :)

loopylou1984 · 30/06/2016 20:29

Oh yeah, and I won an award at work today where the prize involves going to a gin bar, slap up meal and cocktails right slap bang in the middle of the two week wait! Fab. X

loopylou1984 · 30/06/2016 20:27

Itsme the ovitrelle was actually so much easier than the pregnyl. FYI I asked my nurse why they changed their trigger and apparently there is a national shortage of pregnyl!
What symptoms are you getting from the menopur? And what dose are you on.

trixie I'm glad the scratch was ok, fx it does the trick for next cycle.

Waves to pikz

trixie\MPP i still get my hopes up too sometimes. You're not alone.

So it's egg collection day tomorrow. I think the hcg from the trigger is making me feel a bit off, I've been kind of queasy all day but if I eat something then it goes away. I'll survive though. I really want my lining to have reach 8mm by tomorrow. 7.8 to 8 in two days isn't really that much to ask is it? I'd just feel so much more positive if it hit the magic 8mm.

Have Accupuncture a couple of hours after collection. Sedative + acu... I think I might actually fall asleep!
