Ginger in some ways I am glad for you that your AF arrived. I know it truly heralds the end but at least it means your body is trying to get back to itself and hopefully your other symptoms will disappear. I hope your weekend was relaxing and you had a good night out.
Frosticle hope your lining has thickened up beautifully.
Mo in terms of symptoms from progesterone, no, I didn't get heart racing. I was on gestone and cyclogest combo for 8 days and now just cyclogest (but progesterone is over 1,200 so v high) and i've had no heart racing symptoms with it. Got everything crossed for the scan. You've done a great job of staying positive and with all your visualisations you truly are doing everything you can for mini-mo.
Sunny that's such a shame about the bank manager. really hope they come back with the right answer. Will get back to you properly later as well re costs - sorry.
thecat I wouldn't worry too much about symptoms disappearing. To be honest, i've had very few and those I have had have gone. In terms of blood tests, it would give you an indication of what your level is then, but from what I understand its about the levels rising that matters, so you'd need at least two or three to know that they are continuing rising (that's why ARGC do daily tests for first few days and then every two days). If you can get them to agree to do a few tests then will give you some comfort about levels rising properly. I am honestly in two minds about it now though, as in some ways it is reassuring to know my levels have gone up, but then you still worry between the tests and I wonder whether I would worry less if I knew there was no way of knowing, if that makes sense.
pocket that's tough on testing. I would use FMU as concentration is higher therefore less likely to be a false negative and I would test no sooner than one day early or on the day itself. You are going to be stressed on test date no matter what so personally having been sat with ladies who are waiting for clinic to call with result and seeing how stressed they are staring at their phone wiling it to ring, it would seem to me that the potential stress from a false negative is lower than that, but that's just me.
AFM, levels didn't go up as quickly as I'd have liked on weekend but were back on track yesterday so hoping they continue in that fashion from here on in. The bloating, thankfully, has also gone now. It truly was horrible last week but I think the OHSS has worn off and also few changes like eating less at night, and changing way I take cyclogest has really helped.
waves to everyone else. xx
