Made a new thread because idk if it's the same for use but on the app I have to scroll millions of pages before getting to the most recent comment on the other one with having so many replies? 🤷‍♀️

@Mw050389 today the day good luck 🤞🤞xxx

Mw050389 · 23/10/2020 07:21

Thank you! I thought I was nervous but I’ve come downstairs and my partner hasn’t slept all night cos he kept dreaming he missed the cup! 😂🙈 We’re leaving in 10 minutes... eek! X

Mw050389 · 23/10/2020 11:06

Just sat in recovery now, was a bit overwhelmed when I came out but was completely knocked out.. I’m sore on one side, they’ve gave me codeine... just waiting for a hot drink and to be able eat etc. Got 6 eggs x

Nattx · 23/10/2020 13:14

@Mw050389 was that you who left at around 12ish, blonde hair? If it was I saw you and you looked abit sore walking out. Aw good numbers, let's hope they are top quality for you! 🤞 How many follicles did you have on your last scan? My egg collection is on Monday, lining is looking really good and from the scan today I'm looking at around 17/18 follicles at good size. I'm excited now! Are you managing the pain ok? Xx

Yea full grey tracksuit lol it was me yea!.. we had 8 follicles got 6 eggs! I was really sore on my right side and a bit dizzy, home now and feeling loads better... little sensitive and hyper aware but I’m ok! Embryologist was pleased with everything, she’s gunna ring about 3ish and then again tomorrow morning, praying for just 1 to make it to blastocyst to transfer on Wednesday 👏🏻🤞🏻 How’s everything with you? X

Nattx · 23/10/2020 14:38

@Mw050389 Aw I though it was bless you I was in the waiting room after my scan, I was trying to use you as an excuse to get a new tracksuit but he just rolled his eyes at me 😂 from the scan they're expecting 17/18 follicles to be ready for egg collection on Monday I have pcos so I was expected to have more than usual anyway, there was a couple just a mm or 2 under what they look for but got one more day of menopur so they said they should get there. I'm just waiting for them to ring to confirm the time for egg collection, I'm excited for Sunday more than anything a full day of not being a pin cushion 😂 I'm so glad you're doing well xx

You should get a got haul then lol Thursday was great not having to do anything ... I still have to drink blue top milk though I was devastated when she told me that 😅 x

Nattx · 23/10/2020 16:08

I think that's my plans for tomorrow sorted! 😂 they still haven't mentioned about the blue milk to me but since you mentioned it I have been drinking it. Did they give you a sick note for work? They mentioned it to me today saying they'd give me one after collection xx

Eee I know that was horrible but maybe it a sign that this is the right time for you love my fingers are crossed for you all. @Racs83 how you doing and @Mw050389 how you feeling now xxxx

Mw050389 · 23/10/2020 20:09

Still a bit sore but oryt, full of cocodamol lol x

Racs83 · 23/10/2020 20:12

@Hoping1 not too bad ta. Just counting the days down to when my af starts which should be around 30th. Still going with the buserelin injs which aren't too bad although not felt the greatest on them this week. Spoke to my main boss today and he was really supportive regarding time off so that's good for ec when it finally comes.

Glad everyone is progressing well. Xxxx

Hoping1 · 23/10/2020 21:17

I am off shopping with other half because I need cloths and pj and new bedding for hospital make me feel better lol he defo fell for sob story I give him xxxx

Nattx · 23/10/2020 22:27

@Mw050389 I'm so pleased you're feeling ok, eases my mind alot hopefully mine goes as well as yours has so far 😊
@Hoping1 that's my plans tomorrow, tbf I've got more pjs than clothes to start with 😂 xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 24/10/2020 07:06

Would deffos advise the next day off too, I’m still sore this morning.. I feel full of wind too which is more uncomfortable at the moment... the pessaries you have to use rectally 3 times a day aren’t very glam either! 100% advocate for big baggy clothes and PJs! Get a nice snack to eat when you come round and new slippers and socks! Have some food in at home dead easy to make a light on the stomach x

Nattx · 24/10/2020 16:04

@Mw050389 did you get any discomfort even before the trigger? My right side I can feel like a pulling feeling like a stitch more so when I stand/walk and when I'm having a wee. Dunno if it's because I have loads of follicles but only just started today xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 24/10/2020 16:21

Yea like twinges a little, felt like I was bloated mostly x

Nattx · 24/10/2020 16:54

Oh good I'm glad it's normal see I haven't felt bloated or anything it just those twinges on my right side that started a couple hours ago. She did say I'd probably feel more after trigger but I don't trigger until 10 tonight, probs just me over worrying and being aware of everything lol. How are you feeling today? Xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 24/10/2020 17:35

Aw yea especially if you have loads of follicles, I’m still a little uncomfortable but getting there! X

Nattx · 24/10/2020 19:42

One ovary has 30 odd and the other has 20 odd but most of them are just little ones but that's normal with having pcos but usually they don't normally grow like they have this month with the menopur so I never normally feel it. I'm definitely ready to get them out because I'm feeling the bloat now 😂 I'm glad its just discomfort for you rather than actual pain xx

OP posts:
Racs83 · 25/10/2020 08:43

Racs83 · 25/10/2020 09:08
