Fish one of the reasons we went with the argc was because I felt the hourly daily monitoring would mean that if anything went wrong with me due to the drugs they'd be on it straight away.

Ps I'm relieved but can't wait till they are out now and I can start stressing about the embies!

JuicySteak · 11/06/2013 17:30

FishFlaps, don't worry about your body, it can cope with heinous shit being thrown at it over long, long periods of time.We are made of very strong stuff, physiologically. Mentally we are also built to cope with life's traumas. You are being brave and this will all be worth it Smile
You mentioned a hotel review: I actually received an email this morning from booking.com asking me for a review. I wrote: 'What a shithole. The whole place stank of chip fat, there was no hairdryer, kettle or aircon and the towels were scraps of threadbare fabric. Utter, utter toss.'

They have not included it amongst all their other reviews Hmm

Twink, I'm chuffed for you that you've got your answer and you seem happily resigned to the short protocol. Onwards and upwards now for you, my love Smile

wish hows the stimming going to prevent ohss with pcos as we are higher risk,have they put you on metformin?
its just the down reg drug thats done this to me after 19 days of bloody taking it the palps are horrible and scare me.im trying to chill but got to start stimms tonight

buzzybee123 · 11/06/2013 17:31

juicy virgin mojitos are great there Wink

life the drugs will make you feel crap when I did SO I was on gonal f and after a couple of days I felt crap but I was on 450 a day. The reason they want to start you on low is so they can see the response, depending on that will determine if they do actually drop the dose or leave it

it is an impressive AFC

mejust · 11/06/2013 17:32

karb not long then till EC dont they collect 36 hours after trigger i thinkHmm

wishwash · 11/06/2013 18:05

Sorry life if I'm honest I'm a bit baffled with your situation. I was started many moons ago on Gonal F 75 and bugger all happened, I sometimes just about got the 1 follie. I'm now on 150 and have 7 follies with a few sitting on the side lines ready to grow so your amount is just mind boggling.

This whole thing is crazy to me, I've read on other forums of people having 20+ follies on each ovary so that to me was what I was expecting. When I was told we want 10 I was more than a little confused.

It's great that they've lowered your dose, so they're keeping an eye on you at least. I'm very new to this so I'm am very much learning from you. I will still try to give as much insight as I can Smile

wishwash · 11/06/2013 18:10

mejust I'm just on Gonal F and cetrocide. Is there mix of a difference with menopur?

She has openly said she's concerned that I could rapidly get ohss in my situation so they're just scanning me every other day and will lower my dose if I start stimming too much. She was happy with my Monday scan and have another tomorrow!

I have been very bloated and tender today so a little worried I'm cooked too soon, EC isn't until next week sometime.

When is your first scan after stimming?

Karbea · 11/06/2013 18:13

Mejust 36 hrs makes perfect sense!

Wish wash keep drinking lots of water, and protein - milk.

buzzybee123 · 11/06/2013 18:22

juicy don't forget you passports :) when we went for ET we forgot them, luckily I had my passport

wish at this stage all you can do is trust the clinic and see what happens at your scan, you will feel bloated and tender just look after yourself

wishwash · 11/06/2013 18:27

I have been trying to drink 2L of water a day which for me is difficult cause I hate water... Starting to get used to it now though so it could be a change of lifestyle too.
I have been told I'm a princess cause it has to be bottled or filtered, I can't help it if I'm a classy bird!

mejust · 11/06/2013 18:38

wish my scan is next tuesday a week after starting stimms

Karbea · 11/06/2013 18:38

Well then I'm a princess too!

wishwash · 11/06/2013 18:55

Hello All,

I'm sorry for the delay- has been a hard day Sad

I have lots of personals in my head about Juicys trip, Twink finally getting an answer and Nokkie being 11+2!! but if its ok with you, I'll update and then do some personals tomorrow. And update the list....

So, went to the scan. Was very, very nervous and had my lunch at work before I went over to the clinic. Popped to the loo just before heading to clinic and fuck me.....red Sad Just my fucking luck. You could not make this shit up. Called DH who was very positive so I promptly put the phone down on him. He was fine when we met in the clinic. Whittered a bit but I soon put a stop to that by offering him a knuckle sandwich. Just WAS NOT in the mood for 'red blood can be fine!!'

My friend called us in and dimmed the lights, called a nurse in and started scanning. Found a sac straight away and said if I lie very still, he would try to find a heart beat. Yolk sac was there and he eventually said he could see a small flickering- showed me and DH. I could see it but it was tiny. Nursey wasn't convinced and said she couldnt see it. Bitch.

So he said I was really really very early and not matching for dates which I knew I wouldnt be, I'm about 5/7 days out I think.

And I think my body has noticed that this little thing is too small and not right cos the bleeding is speeding up AGAIN. I really dont think I can stand the sight of anymore blood. Proper red watery blood. It cant be good all this bleeding.

I'm really not sure what to think. I'm so fed up of this. I'm sure you all are too.....its getting fucking boring to be honest. Good news, good news, bad news, bad news, bad news, good news, bad news, good news, shit news.

I'm so sorry that I couldnt say something happy today. You have all been so kind and patient but once again I am in limbo. Perhaps I should leave the thread because I am so arse achingly shit at 1) getting pregnant 2) staying pregnant 3) being positive and hopeful (hard when you are haemorrhaging) 4) I'm just a nob. Grin

We have a scan on Friday at Nurture and I am hoping we can just get some confirmation either way- good or bad. I am thinking bad considering I am wearing a massive sanitary towel. I only have one request- a D&C if its bad news. I hope thay will at least grant me that.

Sorry also if I sound resigned. Being tormented by your own body does that to you.

I am loving all the fab stories on here at the moment though- lots of ladies growing lots of fab eggs and Juicy- you are so close, I have everything crossed for you xxxxxxxx

chocoloco1 · 11/06/2013 20:28

tortie been waiting to see your update, don't want to offer platitudes as only you know how you're feeling, but a huge hand hold if you need it. Thinking of you, and no way should you leave - if the criteria is being crap at being preggo, then I'll have to leave too. We're always here for you xxx

JuicySteak · 11/06/2013 20:34

Oh, lovely Tortie, I don't want to offer platitudes either, just know you're in my thoughts and prayers. You come across as a special person and we all love you on this thread. Don't you dare leave us Thanks xx

tametortie · 11/06/2013 20:40

I won't leave, I love you all waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much- I am just wondering where I fit in at the moment Confused I'm dragging this thread down!!!

If its over, I just want it to be over so I can be positive and proactive and sort more treatment out. But if its not over, I want to not be bleeding and just be pregnant and relaxed.

I dont feel like I have either at the moment.
