Good luck VK today, and also MrsH, thinking of you - I can imagine you are wearing out your fingers and toes from crossing them!

BZ, I don't see a CD1 from you yet... are you still in?

AFM - good news today, Lymph nodes show no signs of disease. I shoudl be pleased shouldn't I? But still feeling a little flat - I'm definitely near ov as this moody weepiness is always a good sign.

Anyway, more here.

:j Yay! So pleased they're clear!

I think cd 1 will be tomorrow. I'm resigned to it now.

Not being monitored. Thanks for that ladies. I'm on CD18 out of a 32 day cycle so I'm inclined to say they are both correct.
Pain is slowly going away but was a bit confused by it.
Thanks!

Be aware that your cycle length can change with clomid too, even between clomid cycles.

No change last month, dose went up. This month everything was different, don't know yet how long this cycle will be... *looong sigh*

well mixed emotions today
the nurse said loads of wee follies on the right side but nothing of note where as the one on the left side they said there is a small one only 1.1 so they have gave me another shot of gonal f 75
iv to go back tomoz and see how i have responded as they said they cant leave it until monday so looks like i will be up tomorrow and monday
so fingers crossed it grows and is not another abandoned cycle
stange to go from having way too many to way too little in a matter of a month however they did warn us until they test how my body reacts it can be like this

T2D-yay for lymph nodes being clear-I think it's impossible to predict how you will react to different news, and each individual reaction is perfectly valid, the whole cancer journey is a rollercoaster (I'm going through it with my mum just now) Take care of yourself

VK-good luck for tomorrow, I've no idea what the normal rate of growth for follicles is but at 11.30 am last Monday I had one at 19, when I went back at 6pm it was 26, so they seem to grow quite speedily. fingers crossed for you

BZ-hope you're okay

AFM-I'm sore, achey, weepy, bloated and a touch psychotic. I have been really uncomfortable since the collection and am feeling sorry for myself tonight need to cheer up.

VK-2008

oh mrs happy that sounds postive with that growth rate i kind of had in my mind there will be no change or very little
will keep u updated

VK - I was told to put heat on tummy to help follies grow and it did work for me (don't put heat on once embryos are put back)

VK-2008

Well not fab today folli on left side grew from 1.1 to 1.3 overnight
I had another gonal f 75 at hosp and iv to take another one on sun
Be rescanned on Monday to check growth the poss get iui on Tuesday
all this travelling is costing arrrggh but I hope we get the end result we are after
Also been really headachy last two days duno if its the gonal f tats doing it

Vk hope it's a positive result for you

My FS appointment was fab. Have a clomid prescription for next cycle but I ovulated yesterday (cd84!) and the follicle was 22mm which she said was good. Saw my cysts which was weird! Hopefully I won't need the clomid but I'm guessing a few of you ladies have/are taking it?

TTC40

VK, hope they grow over the weekend. Are you having treatment a long way from home?

Becca, when did you last BD?

My FS says anthing over 16mm is good. This is my 4th cycle on Clomid. 50mg - although FS said if I needed to do another cycle, we could try a double dose.

AFM - 12 DPO for me. Last month AF had appeared by now - so I suppose that's something.

Usual pre-AF feeling although no spotting yet.

Hi ladies, hope everything is going well for all those in treatment at the moment. Quick question- when you've had ultrasound does the sonographer ask you what DPO/ cycle day you're on? Mine did today and then looked all smug... she disappeared at the end of the scan before I got to ask her any of my questions though- i.e. is that a normal question, can you tell if I've ovulated etc.... My mind is running away with me and I need to be brought back down to earth!
