@Eggling - oh no! I hope you stay well! And I hope DD feels better soon! wow 9AM tomorrow!!! I'm crossing all my fingers for you! And 7/15 eggs is great numbers! Just what all the doctors talk about wanting to happen! I hope I am that lucky this time around.
Here is to hoping everything goes perfectly as planned!
@Brit22 - how did it go. Hope you are doing well after the retrieval! Sorry to hear you also have the bug going around
I'm an elementary school teacher so all the nuggets (children) are sick and I'm just out here trying to stay healthy, grow eggs, keep my sanity, and be good to the littles!
@ZAMichelin1991 - I'm day 5 ovaleap and my first cetrotide shot. So we are super close in our cycle! I'm glad to hear that Dr. Google said all was well, so many times google is bleak🙈🙈🙈! What did your clinic say? Glad I could help with the 15 minutes. It was a game changer for me too. Also when/if you start certrotide, I get these awful red itchy flare-ups directly after. If you get that get an ice pack and as soon as you have done the shot, and you clean up, you can ice pack on top until it stops itching/burning. My doctor said it's a super typical side effect.
@kamaha - glad to hear you are making eggs and the nurses don't seem to phased about the number! I agree on a quantity over quality! I had tons last time and not even one would fertilize. I think you must be doing great if that haven't said anything against it! When I made too many I could tell they were nervous that it was overstimulated (which I was 😂). Also I've never heard of an abdominal EC. How will that work?
@TheGlitterFairy- I too am hoping this works out for some little Christmas gifts for us all! It's been a rough ride. My family was like, "don't be stressed and you'll get your little wonder" I was like "no, you are completely misunderstanding, they took my eggs and his sperm and put it in a dish and they did not work, it didn't even come to being put in my body. So there is no stress for me to worry about yet".
It's so hard to explain to others who haven't been through this. How are you doing ?
Update for me- I am going in tomorrow to my clinic for an ultrasound and for them to update dosing if needed and tonight I'm doing my first cetrotide shot and day 5 of ovaleap. I was doing so well and today I got the headache from hell. I finally gave in and took some paracetamol because I felt like I might vomit while at work. Got home after a super long day with kids and meetings with staff and took a nap. DH was an angel made me dinner and I drank water ate and am finally feeling better. Last time I had a steady headache throughout all the stims, so I'm happy I don't have that this time (but what a doozy of a headache today!!!!) Let's hope tomorrow is more calm. I too am trying to stay healthy with all my students being sick (and when you teach 1st grade they all come to hug you and share all their cooties 🥹🙈) other than that, mentally I'm so much better this time. I hope that helps in the end. The second time around I'm less anxious in terms that I know what to expect with the shots and the meds. But I'm really nervous about everything that follows. @Britt22 I think you mentioned this feeling, just the being told how many eggs, how many embryos and then if we get to transfer the dreaded 2WW. And I'm just TRYING not to be too hopeful. Like it's hard to find the right balance of hopefullness. Like hopeful enough so that your positive and it works, but not so hopeful that if it doesn't I won't be crushed again.
Oh man! Anyways I love reading your updates! It makes me feel like it is eventually going to work out. Thank you for being here!
