It can sometimes happen, you have leftover follicles (cysts) from the previous cycle:o Not good, but not unusual. Hope it disappears next cycle.

I feel really ill! Have got a really upset stomach and feel v sick (not been sick yet though). How can I tell if it's a cyclogest side effect or a terribly timed bug?

24hrs to ET and tbh I feel like I won't even be able to leave the bathroom.

My OHSS was like that.
They may cancel your ET if it's a full blown OHSS.
Hcg makes it worse.
You feel sick because your stomach is being squeezed with all that excess fluid.

You need to stop filling your stomach. I was told to stop eating and take small sips of energy drinks and protein bars. No veggie or carbs because it takes up too much space inside your stomach.

Massive (((hugs))).

I definitely couldn't eat! Am sipping drinks but it's going straight through (sorry!!)

Have evil stomach pain & diarrhea (sorry again!) but no bloating as such. Tbh the way I feel right now I don't care about the transfer, which I know sounds really horrible.

Can I take imodium or anything like that?

No bloating sounds promising, it may not be OHSS:cool:

I didn't take imodium or anything like that as I had 3 day transfer, so I didn't want to take anything:o

It's not harmful, it should disappear by next cycle, I think:)

Just the diarrhea I could cope with, but the stomach pain is getting beyond bearable now. Waiting for hospital to call me back.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to 'officially' move my TTC journey over onto this thread. As horrible as I sound for saying it the quick turnover on the regular TTC thread just kills me.... I sound like a horrible person.

My background is TTC 2 years today after having the Mirena out. Been with OH since 16 and we're trying for number one. My history is that I was told I had PCOS and Endo in 2008- the mirena was to treat the Endo.

We were referred to the FS in September last year. My bloods showed that my progesterone was low and possibly wasn't ovulating. Clomid offered as a treatment when OH had been totally tested and was normal and HSG confirmed tubes clear.

The HSG revealed that I probably have a unicornuate uterus (50% of normal size with only one fallopian tube). I'm quite angry this wasn't picked up on any of the 10 ultrasound scans I've had or via the laproscopy that diagnosed the endometriosis. I have to have a further ultrasound to double check uterine size (might be too small to carry a pregnancy), this is next week. My FS still said that clomid was still an option as long as the uterus was not too small and dependant on OH SA results.

OH ultrasound and bloods all completely normal. SA result came back showing 2/3 abnormal sperm and low sperm count. His consultant has referred us straight to IVF with ICSI. Neither of us were prepared for this in the slightest. It feels like such a last resort treatment...

I'm back to see my FS in May and want to argue for clomid still as I don't think I'm mentally strong enough to go through IVF. We've both started a new 'healthier' lifestyle to try and increase OH's count and to look after ourselves as TTC has led to us really neglecting ourselves (ironically- the longer it's gone on the worse we've got...).

Has anyone on here had clomid with a low SA result?

Sorry for the long post. The two year thing is really messing with my head today...

Hugs teaandcake - it is a shock when you get told to go for ivf as at you said it is a final step. There are things you can do to try and improve dh's SA result and I know they have helped some. Before our ivf I got DH to take walnuts and Brazil nuts each day and zinc tablets and co-enzyme. It takes 3 months for changes to improve SA result and so it is worth trying. Hugs for 2 years, ttc for such a time is truly wearing on you and on this thread we all understand. We are a friendly bunch and whilst it isn't as busy as the ttc thread I have found it really helpful to me. I wish you all the best for your journey x

It feels like the final step.. but really it's not quite. Depends on how you view parenting. Do you want to fall pregnant relatively easily like most people do, or do you want to be a parent?

If the latter, then there's IVF, then ICSI, then egg/sperm donation, then surrogacy, then adoption, then fostering...

I'm not trying to say that the realisation that you'll probably need IVF doesn't come as a shock - it does. Or that some of the other things aren't even more difficult to get your head round. They are. I've been there. But IVF's still just one stage on a possible journey, not the end.

Keep the faith, ladies. All of you on here - if you want to be a mum you will be. Keep the faith x.
