For the newbies, I have nothing against swearing, but the thread title becomes the URL on MN and I don't want to alert the IT nazis police and have then take a close look at my internet habits in the office....)
noks I hope all is well. I loved your scan story. At this point I could go to the dr for earache and end up stripping off and adopting the position. It's my default when confronted with a medical professional these days.
rachel near the top of that search is exactly where we would want to be. Welcome to the gang, btw.
Welcome to you too, flowers. I have friends in a same sex relationship who managed to get up the duff quicker than us. Not a single sperm between them, but they are better at baby making than us.... (resentful, moi? Jealous more like - their daughter is adorable.)
joos you sounds like a proper druggie with yer ampoules.
tortie how are you holding up?
wish that sounds like a complete headfuck. Your follies WILL get there.
mejust well done on not killing our husband.
I found EC traumatic because psychologically I don't deal well with being knocked out. Physically it was absolutely fine. I was getting dressed within seconds minutes of coming round and out of the clinic within about 15 minutes. I don't recommend you try it (it's my weird bolting thing I have when I come round) but I mention it because it shows I was physically up to it. I had no spotting and just felt a bit jet lagged that afternoon from the sedation. The next day I was 100% back to normal.
buzz how are you feeling about things?
choc not long to go now till you're back on the IVF train. Toot toot!
AFM, I am sort of abandoning hippie IVF. My scan this morning was a bit odd. I have, um, 15 (!) good sized follies. Without any drugs. So the sonographer suggested that a natural modified cycle might be a good idea, to take advantage of the follies my body has started to grow naturally. She sent me for a blood test and discussed it with the consultant and apparently my oestrogen is a bit low, so adding in some drugs could really help. So I'll be injecting stimms over the weekend, then being scanned again on Monday to see where we go from there.
I think this is what has been happening post-mc. I used to feel ov clearly on one side. Since the mc, I have been getting ov pains on both sides each month and oving later (and possibly not at all on one of the three post-mc cycles). I reckon my body has been producing loads of follies but had trouble popping the eggs out.
So taking advantage of the natural start and then giving the hormones a boost could be helpful. Or it could all go horribly wrong. I'm certainly not counting chickens.
