Couldn't see another thread so thought I'd make our new one

Hello bear! No and me in comIng over here

Turq, i think, it's Norethisterone X

Nobeer Woweee! That's so exciting. Have you got your 13 week scan booked yet then? Xx

Wtf? 13week?? I tried to write 12!!!

Yes stars, in about 2.5 weeks. Nervous, in spite of reassuring gagging/vomitting.

Stars thanks for that info, if this cycle doesn't work I will ask about it as I got lots of immature eggs last time due to my follies being a wind range of sizes.

Nobeer wow exciting stuff, I can imagine how nervous you are but I'm sure it will be ok. You've got lots of promising symptoms

Bear hello and welcome, I've just sent a reply on your thread before I realised you had come over here

Turq I'm back on Saturday for scan and bloods.

Hello! So glad it's Friday. Good luck with the scan nobeer.

Hello, just wondering how long it takes everyone to get over EC? I know everyone is different, but just wondered. I'm still aware of it, IYSWIM, but I only get the occasional twinge. It doesn't really hurt though. Hoping it will go soon.

Ridiculous moment of today was when I was watching Coast Australia with OH and they were harvesting pearls and they showed the biggest one in the world which was 22mm and I announced it was the size of my biggest follie. It looked pretty big on screen! Oh well . . .

Omg. Bear that's mad! That pearl was huge. No wonder we feel so bloated! If we've got a few if those on each side...

Ec can take a while to recover from. As long as you're not in pain, then I think you should be ok.

Hi Bear.
I hope you are feeling okay from the EC.
I had my EC on the Monday, it was the Thursday/Friday before I felt completely fine again. I found it really quite sore for those days.

Hope everyone is okay

Welcome Jodie, Bear and Cheap!

Mainly de-lurking to give Res a huge squeeze and say I am, and have been, thinking of you lots.

I have had 3 ECs. The first was absolutely fine, in fact I went running between it and ET (3dt), which makes me a bit now! I was boarder line OHSS too...My second one took a lot longer. A week or so, maybe more. Extremely bloated and uncomfy. In fact they were very concerned about OHSS but despite looking 6 months pregnant there was no free fluid! The third on was somewhere between the two. I wasn't going out running but I didn't feel and look quite so horrendous. I think I get quite bloated, gassy and constipated from the pain relief suppositories they give you

I am still really anxious Been really crampy the last few days

Hi Bear. I had borderline OHSS (22 eggs collected iirc!) too and it took me a good 10 days or so to recover. Drink plenty of water and take it easy. I was very constipated too, one of the amazing egg buddies told me to drink a teaspoon of bicarb in a glass of water which did the trick.

I also took about 4-5 days to recover from EC. Bloating was my main problem. Keep drinking plenty of water.

Well I've got 6 follies at 20mm and 4 at 16 mm so I'll be triggering tonight at 11pm. EC will be Monday. Can't wait for a little fucker free day tomorrow.

Val when is your scan? ((Hugs))

Res and Tame thinking of you x

Cups, woohoo. Enjoy your fucker free day. You deserve it sounds like you've got a good number of follies the right size wishing you lots of luck lovely.

Res, how are you doing hun? When is you OTD? I know you want to never test tho so hope you're doing ok.

Nobeer, not long til your scan then. Exciting stuff.

Tame, how are you?

Val, hope you're doing ok-ish?!

Beetle, I hope your stitch went well. Pop back and let is know all is ok when you can.

Jodie, how's your 2ww going?

Turq, how you doing hun?

Bear, how are you?

I've still not booked my scratch. Dunno what I'm playing at. I'm on day 16 or 17 of my cycle, wonder if too late. I MUST call Monday morning. I MUST. I don't want to cycle the following month as it coincides with my DS's bday and I don't want it to overshadow that. Then it's summer hols, so it's either next month or September! And I'll be 42 in September

Stars must be the old age making you forget

Cups got it all crossed for you for Monday!! I wish I had a fucker free day my arse is finally numbing up to the Gestone, which is more painful than pleasant. At least I am bruising less with Clexane!

Scan on Tuesday, if I am not in the nut house by then...

Val! You cheeky thing but I think you're right!

Good luck for scan hun. Exciting.
Remember, cramping is normal as your uterus stretches. Xx

My scratch was hideous this time. Not painful, just uncomfy but I kept passing huge clots with my period. It freaked me out enough to call the clinic. Still...we know where I ended up so the 'clear out' must have done me good.

Ooh interesting Val. The scratch is meant to cause a release if hormones/chemicals or something which is an aid to implantation apparently! My scratch was a bloody awful experience. Although the actual scratch but was fine. But they couldn't find my cervix first off then couldn't get the catheter through it. I have never had that problem before then and is had 6 transfers up to that point!!! Bit nervous about it probably.
X

Sounds very like mine! In fact I thought the clots may have been my poor cervix. After one attempt she deemed my uterus 'mobile' and had to clamp my cervix

This was my second scratch and I had previously had 3 ETs so maybe it was just trying to leave the building!

Hi stars and everyone,

2WW is passing slowly!!! 5 days to go!

What's a scratch??

Val, you made me giggle! I reckon our poor cervix's were having a protest!!!

Jodie, it's like a smear in a way but they remove/scratch some of your womb lining away, the cycle before transfer. Last bit of 2ww is sooo mental and slow, I feel for you. How many dpt are you now?

Good luck for Tuesday Val, those Gestone injections sound like right evil bastards. Is that instead of progesterone? I better not complain about the bum bullets then. At your over active cervix!

Stars get that scratch booked missy!

I had my scratch under GA as they did a scope as well and woke up in agony and was given morphine It was so embarrassing the anaesthetist kept saying she had never had to give so much pain relief for that procedure. I don't think I have a low pain threshold so maybe I've just got super sensitive lady bits!

Jodie how many dpt is your OTD? My clinic makes you wait 16-18 days even after a 5dt which is ridiculous. I tested at 11dp3dt last time and I was going crazy for a good week before that.

Trigger done, can't believe I've got a fucker free day woo!

I'm 8 days past transfer now. Clinic want me to test on Thursday so that will have been 12 days after transfer.

I didn't have a scratch done. Doesn't sound too pleasant though!

Hello all.

Well, you were right and I was wrong (which are not words I write or speak often!).

It's a BFP here, even with the notoriously crappy cassette tests which my clinic provides.

5 weeks 3 days. And counting. Breathe...

Cups - wishing you a smooth EC today. You're nearly there.

Jodie - how're you doing? Hope you retain the plot better than me.
