Buzzy- nothing any of us say can convince you otherwise- I know that. Once you get that feeling of fear it just takes over. I wish we could make you feel better but I know we can't.

Just take it easy tonight and get yourself into epu tomorrow xxx hopefully that will put your mind at rest more than we can. Hope the bleeding has stopped xxx

mejust · 16/06/2013 20:32

nokkie not really very positive im worn down with it all tbh,even the buserelin jabs are killing now as no space on legs.how are you?

nook do you start stimms tomorrow?

will i have to stimm for the full 12 days or do some stop earlier my legs are really bruised and sore todays day 6

Karbea · 16/06/2013 20:55

Me just, don't they monitor your follicle growth and determine how long you stim for based on that?

I've been googling what real diseases you have that means you have clexane, I hate that bloody injection!

tametortie · 16/06/2013 20:59

Mejust, they will scan you and see what the follies are doing. Isn't it usually 8-14 days?

mejust · 16/06/2013 21:28

hi my scans on day 8 im just hoping i dont have to do 12 days and was wondering if anyone stimmed shorter its all took its toll on me now.

tametortie · 16/06/2013 21:29

I did it for 9 days. Fingers crossed you are lucky!!

mejust · 16/06/2013 21:34

tam do you still stimm the same day as trigger?

tametortie · 16/06/2013 21:41

I didn't. I had 8 days of menopur 300iu, 1 day of 225iu then buserelin on day of trigger but no menopur, trigger in the evening then a day off all drugs the day before EC.

Karbea · 16/06/2013 21:46

I stimmed for 11 days, I did 150 of merional and 150 of fostimon at around lunch time then triggered at 7:30 in the eve.

chocoloco1 · 16/06/2013 21:47

buzzy so sorry you're going through this shit and will be eagerly waiting to hear an update from you tomorrow. Only you know how you feel, but so hope things will turn out ok

juicy great news on the embies, any sweepstakes on what time Helena will be ringing tomorrow, post dump? How is Brno today? Any tourist info updates?

karbea hope you get good news tomorrow about your embryos, as the others have said, it's hard to tell which embryos are going to be successful from the look of them sometimes. Look forward to your news tomorrow

tame you are sounding so strong and are an inspiration to us all. Hang on in there lovely, really feel for you. Hope DD is back home by now.

mejust poor old you. I stimmed for 13 days I think, but I was a slow/poor responder, hopefully, with monitoring, you'll be ready before then and you won't have too many more jabs ahead of you after that.

euro have the stims been going ok?

wish how has your restful weekend been, and the protein guzzling? Look forward to hearing about all your amazing follicle growth tomorrow Smile

Hey noks cake sounds nice, even if it was only a sliver. It's making me hungry, am trying to lose a bit of weight and am avoiding all nice food!

Hello to everyone else. AFM, only one more day to wait for my consultation, am really trying not to wish my life away, but am so keen to get on the IVF rollercoaster again

tametortie · 16/06/2013 21:55

DD is home and snoring in bed next to me. We have had lots of tears because she hasn't seen me much all weekend Hmm nice to be wanted!!

mejust · 16/06/2013 21:57

tam i didnt know that im still taking 0.5 buserelin and on 150 menopur
i never want to see another injection again after this.
sorry to be rambling on about silly things when your going through this but iv never done this before .
take it easy and rest at home tomorrow,my miscarriage lasted a couple of days i know what your going through its horrible x

tametortie · 16/06/2013 22:03

Its ok Smile keep taking your buserilin because thats what stops you ovulating. But on trigger day I didn't take stims, just buserlin and trigger. Don't stop the buserilin till they tell you to! You will start laying x

MotorcycleMama · 16/06/2013 22:05

Buzzy Just to say I'm thinking of you, and praying for a good outcome for you.

Tame Thinking of you as well, and hoping you can do this in whatever way feels the most manageable for you. I know I really wanted my mmc to get rid of itself without medical intervention, and spent a few days jumping up and down really hard on concrete (was past caring what anybody thought!), but I had to have ERPC in the end. Most definitely do not go to work.

Juicy Thinking of you too, and willing those gorgeous embies to be strong so you can be a mummy.

Karbea ditto.

Love to everybody else. xx

mejust · 16/06/2013 22:12

karb how were you with the trigger do you have to inject that in the stomach

Karbea · 16/06/2013 22:28

Mejust yes, I had to keep it in the fridge, but when I was ready just mixed it like the others and injected it in my belly 3cms from belly button. Was easy, the thought of it is worse than doing it.

wishwash · 16/06/2013 22:42

Hi ladies

buzzy I know there's nothing I can say so I just want you to know that I have my fingers crossed for good news

mejust I'm on my 12 stay of stimming, morning injection in the tummy, evening injection in the leg. I'm getting a bit fed up too Sad

choco my weekend has been amazing. I haven't let the house and everyone has come to me. I've struggled with the protein because I'm so bloated I haven't wanted to eat! I think I got my 80g a day in though. I just feel terrible after I've eaten.

Hopefully tomorrow will make it all worth it

Hey everyone else

mejust · 16/06/2013 22:47

wish have you got a scan tomorrow ?

wishwash · 16/06/2013 23:05

Yeah at 10am. The whole cycle is dependant on what the scan shows tomorrow so I'm a little nervous Hmm

MotorcycleMama · 16/06/2013 23:08

Good luck wish. Hope it all goes well.

mejust · 16/06/2013 23:17

good luck tomorrow wish x

wishwash · 16/06/2013 23:18

Thank you Flowers

MotorcycleMama · 16/06/2013 23:19

I seem to be having a lot of watery CM and don't know whether this should be the case. Downreg injection should still be in effect (had it 28th May and it lasts 'for 6 - 8 weeks') and I'm on oestrogen tabs progynova 2mg three times a day. Sorry for sharing about my bodily fluids, but I'm worried in case it is an indication that the drugs aren't working.

Any words of wisdom?

wishwash · 16/06/2013 23:57

Sorry motor I can't help you, I have no idea

I'm totally freaking out. I've just read about cycles being cancelled because of low estradiol and I'm convinced its gonna happen to us tomorrow! I can't sleep and DP is getting shirty cause I'm stressing myself out. I can't help it, I just know its going to be cancelled

Karbea · 17/06/2013 06:25

Motorcycle expect all shorts of weird discharge, wet, gloopy, creamy it can all happen, perfectly normal.

Wish what is you estradiol number? It'll be fine.

Afm stressing about when/how to do my suppository as I'll be at the clinic, I normally lay down, going to have to do it in the loo squat!?!?
