Ginger and mellybelly

Hey Noodle,

doing ok, have my down moments mainly due to damn headaches . Came home from work yesterday due to headaches and feeling a little nauseus.

Had BT on Tuesday to see if the Gonal F was working, ie had i responded to it, but unfortunately my estrogen levels where still indicating i was down regualated...not good - so they've upped my dosage from 150iu to 225iu and off for another BT tomorrow.

Looks like EC will be more like thurs/fri next week.

Ginger - how are you doing hun?

Hi guys I'm getting from one day to the next which seems to be the best thing I can do. The nausea is a bit of a killer, and I seem to hit the wall mid afternoon and that's me for the rest of the day. I'm amazingly tired, and feeling really drowsy a lot of the time, and I get rashes from the injections which is a bugger. The injections are starting to hurt, which I guess is from bruising, and just part of it all.

But, my down-reg blood test is Monday, so all going well I start Puregon (gonal-f) in about a week.

I said to DH the other day that I'm sure they pump you full of all this crap just so your begging for all the ikky procedures that you were terrified of, just to bring an end to it all!!

Oh Ginger you are doing really well hun! sorry you are feeling so bad i hope it doesn't get too much worse for you. big hugs hun!!

lol ginger! love the "mr sunshine" for injection time hehe   

and very true its all in the way of thinking and you are right and i think i'll think the same way too every jab is one step closer to all our babies! BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN FOR ALL OF US 1ST TIME!!!

Am waiting for a call from FA at the moment, hopefully all has gone ok and we'll be on to the next step.

Completely understand about the tiredness Ginger, most nights i come home from work and crash for about 45 mins...the other day it was an hour & a half and I still went to bed at 9.30 that night

Have decided to take today and all of next week off work, part of next week was organised to be off anyway cos of EC - but i can't cope with work and my emotions at the moment, i am sure it's the increased dosage but i've been in tears the last couple of days and just can't do it. So on the couch or in bed i'll be taking it easy and trying to steer clear of the PC as i tend to check in on work emails....

Work has been very supportive about it though which is a big help - they almost bundled me out the door at 11am this morning.

Will let you know BT results when they come in.

Glad all is going well Ginger and not long now noodle till your orientation

BT results yesterday were very good - up where they were expecting them to be (approx 460). Have another BT tomorrow and a scan....

Saw eight good sized follicles today all about 12-15mm in size. Have another scan on Tuesday of course with another BT..., veins are NOT behaving!

Looks like EC will be either Thursday or Friday.

WOOHOO awesome mellybelly!

Ginger - the headaches are not flash aye...and add AF to that.. I think you may have knicked a blood vessel therefore the bruise, am sure this won't make you feel any better but you'll end up with more - I have


Heard from FA yesterday and I don't need a second scan, still having BT tomorrow morning, then will hopefully be told to have trigger injection tomorrow night...fingers crossed anyway. Have been extremely achy in the ovary region, especially this morning.

Have a quiet day planned today, looking forward to it - may even bake DH some muffins

I'm so pleased to hear it's going well for you Mel!! Fingers crossed that EC goes to plan and you get lots of good eggs to fertilise!!

Ginger, I hope the nausea gives you a break soon.
