Sorry I missed you WW - good luck today! I knew there was someone else today but couldn't find my list on the phone.

ETA: I've had to bring the Menopur to work, and put it in the work fridge! It's in a bag, but hopefully no-one is nosy. And thankfully whatever was in the fridge yesterday that was stinking up the place is also gone.

WW - good luck for your scan! x

T2D - 8 follies is great, well done you! Don't worry about the symptom spotting, I literally had nothing. No bloating, no headaches, nothing. So it really doesn't matter. You've not been stimming long so sounds like you are responding really well! x

Derby - good luck with the trigger shot. I had my EC on a Thursday and then transfer on Sat (Day 2). My clinic didn't offer a service on a Sunday, so they couldn't take the embies to blast as apparently they have to change the fluid or something on day 3 if they are taking them further. So, if your clinic works on a Sunday then you might get a day 3 or more, if not then you might be heading for day 2.

Like fluff said its not an exact science and they don't really know. Apparently there was a trend to try and go to blast, but now the trend is moving back towards getting them back inside earlier, as that is the best place for them. That's what my embryologist said anyway!

Don't worry about the wedding. To be honest (depending on timing) you could probably go and take it easy, not dance/drink etc. ET just like a smear so its not invasive. I'd start with the illness excuse just in case though x

PM - good luck for your scan x

AFM - we've got a conselling appointment today at 4. Will be a good chance to discuss how we feel about getting to the top of the list and when to go again (and how to face it)

Hugs everyone! xx

Derby all the best for trigger shot,
T2d thingss are really moving on now for you arn't they.

Tea I was always told not to keep menopur in the fridge.

WW all the best for today.

Sewit I hope you find the meeting useful.

Afm day 8 of injections and no follies, got a lining of almost 8mm and with no follies I fear im going to start bleeding all over again

star02

PM - how much menopur are you injecting? Keep the faith, it worked eventually last time.

My menopur has a 'fridge medicine' sticker on it. I was told it needs to be refrigerated until it is made up, and then lasts 28 days un-refrigerated. The pharmacist asked me specifically if I was heading home as it had to be back in the fridge within an hour.

Got to love the randomness of this whole process.

t2d i was on .7 will be on 1 as of tonight, I know I got there in the end up this cycle has to be done by the time fs goes on leave

*edit* just worked out dates and its not looking like im going to get it done with by then esp if I bleed again, last time was approx 10 days,if thats the case I wouldnt do it in time.

Just a bit! You'd think at least the same-named drugs would have the same properties lol. Hope no one eats your menopur for their lunch :rotfl:.
