hi all,

I have got my egg collection tomrrow morning, had my last scan last night and had to take my ovritolle (spet wrong) injection last night. I am too tired to be worried about it today but i bet as the day goes on i will be more nervous.

I have been going accupunture for the last few weeks and dh has got to go tonight too so that should be fun. I have also been having reflexology every week for the past 3 months to try and give myself the best chance possible of this working.

at pressent i have 19 follicle 8 on the right and 13 on the left and my tummy is really swollen, got really upset last night when my brother pointed out i was gett fat stomach and puttting on weight wanted to slap him.... but not his fault as we have curretly not told anyone apart from my boss - due to all the time off.

any one got any advice?

Really good luck for tomorrow. Are you having a general anaestectic or just being sedated? Either was make sure you drink plenty of water so you don't get any signs of OHSS. Also be prepared for an overall feeling of a dull stomach pain after which can be controlled by paracetamol and a hot water bottle xx

PS If you have 8 on your right and 13 on the left that is 21 which is loads so really good!

Debbie C....

Oh yeh cant count this morning, that means got two extra between friday and monday goody goody.... I am trying to drink as much water as possible but seem to spend most of the day running to the loo!!!!

many thanks for the advice will stock up on paracetimal and get a hot water bottle today. Question though they told me i was not supposed to put anything hot on my tummy or lower back as it draws too much blood to the are and could damage the womb lining by caseing it to bleed?????

Hello all,

thaks for ther support. Egg collection was ok, not too painfull but the side effect of the pessery is far worse made my tummy swell up for 3 days with gas but thankfully now gone down and pretty much pack to norm.

The collected 14 folicles of which only tried it fertilise 10 and we got 6 the fertilised. They did the embreo transfer n Friday lunch time and put 2 back in but unfortunatly we did not have any decent enough for freezing.

feeling quite strange at moment dh walking on egg shells around me and i am afraid of sneezing just in case ( i know sounds stupid) it does summink to them. fingers, legs and everything else that the little beans put back in at least 1 will stick.

just 2ww wait now xx

Happy new year to you all.

unfortunatly our attempt at ICSI in december did not work. I was suppose to test on 11th dec however af turned up on 8th Dec. She was exceptionally heavy that time, i must admit i didnt take it very well and was pretty down and ill all over xmas.

Waiting for af to turn up this month so far she is a week late and have got no symptoms that she will be coming, dont know whether just as my body had enough and taking time out.

we got out letter from the clini last week letting us know that our follow up appointment in at the end of the month.

jest feeling really down and negative about things at the moment and dont help that there are so many people pregnant and announcing their pregnant.

Nat - i'm sorry it didnt work out for you. i know exactly how it feels!! big hugs to you.

I didnt take my failure that well either -I had a failed cycle in October - I had a few drinks and passed out and split my eye open on the sink and was left with a black eye!!!

i'm just about to embark on round two - i am feeling more positive this time ....have twice as many eggs as well!!

Are you going to have another go soon? I think i was a bit late the month afterwards but not that late - have you tested? were you regular before?

big hugs.

orangegerbera,

still no sign of af so buckled this morning and did a test but as expected bfn.

we are not too sure about giving it another go not really had that conversation with husband, not that we have really spoke about it at all since got af last month, im not too sure what he wants any more but that is another story.

will se what is said at appointment at the end of the month and see what to do then

thank
