@taffeta00 I have questioned some of the timings before, and in the end it stressed me out even more, because they just say that Dr S knows what he's doing and to go with exactly what he said. Which is probably the right attitude to have, otherwise what are we paying him for?
I do get confused though because last cycle I took my trigger a week later than usual, to try and catch 3 smaller follicles. But I had a strong OPK beforehand and just wanted to know what would actually happen if I ovulated on my own - would I ovulate again? I still don't think I've had a clear answer about it and I don't know why it's a difficult question to say yes or no to. It really stressed me out. I know tracking is likely pointless but it was also just the timing of the trigger, I knew there was a risk I'd ovulate by then. That's why I think it's easier to just trust it and not get caught up in OPKs and temps, because I don't think they tell you as much as the scans and the treatment plan isn't amended for it.
Totally with you on the social stuff. I'm tempted to allow myself a glass of bubbles when I'm at dinner next week, because I want to enjoy life around all this, but then I get this niggling guilt. It's so much pressure already, let alone feeling bad for socialising!
@Trytryandtryagain11 so grateful for this space. It's so hard for a majority of people to understand, because luckily not so many people have to go through this. It's the comments like take some time off from it, just get away, just keep enjoying yourself, as if it's that easy or that is the answer.
I'm a bit of a super ov veteran, I've just done my 6th cycle. But I'm disadvantaged because I only have one tube after an ectopic. So in my head I want a fair few tries when the follicles are on the right side, which more often than not there aren't, because that's just my luck! Last 2 cycles I've had multiple follicles but on the wrong side. I know the tube can move but it's obviously much less likely.
@89Hope glad you found us 🥰. Love pups, what did you get? We got a puppy in 2020, about 6 months after the first loss. He was such a welcome distraction and still makes me smile when I need it most. Comes and clears my tears away too when I'm sad. They are the best ❤️
Sorry you've not had a good start to super ov. What were you doing before? Assume it was something if you were due a break in meds.
It's so frustrating when the follicles don't show. I know they can't control that but it doesn't make sense, and it feels like such a waste of money when you go in and there's little or no response. It worries me, because I went into it thinking that this was almost guaranteed you'd at least get follicles. Because my first few I did, when I went in and there was one, I was devastated. And now I dread going in to the scans.
I've seen Dr Edge twice, and once with Dr S. I think she's really lovely. In both the appointments on her own she had to call Dr S, but I was pleased she did that to get his opinion. I agree about being a bit unsure, I guess she's just learning the ropes, but it does make me nervous because you want to make sure you're getting the same level of care. But then I always remind myself that he wouldn't have anyone on his team that weren't top of their game
I'm waiting for my tracking appointment from the clinic. They are normally really good coming back to me but I asked for this yesterday am and haven't heard back xxx
