Isla, so what was it, sedation or GA?

isla_red

Oh sorry I forgot to say! It was a lovely sedation. Don't remember a thing

Isla im still under the same fs, it sounded like the lady i saw wanted to sweeten us up by sending us to a private fs but thats never happened so back to waiting for my fs to come back and wait to hear about funding.

Glad the sedation was nice.

Oh for flip's sake they really are sending you round the houses aren't they?! Hope you get somewhere soon.

Sorry everyone, been a bit AWOL this week - I usually try and do some sneaky updates at work but it's all been a bit hectic!


pink - great news about your boobs! :T x


goodvibes and WW - congrats on being PUPO! :j xx


Isla - hope EC went okay today and you're getting plenty of rest. A hot water bottle and a big bar of Galaxy is my recovery weapon of choice! xx


Love - congratulations! I won't move you into the graduates section until you feel it's okay. :T xx


Hi to blondeammunition :wave: Let me know if you want to be added to this lists. x


AFM - last time round AF showed up 2 days after finishing the Provera, this time round she took 8 days :huh:
AF arrived this morning so I rang the clinic - my baseline scan is Tuesday and AF probably will have only cleared off by 2 days. They said to come and get scanned as normal and they'd have a look "to see what's going on" - doesn't sound too positive.
Anyone else had AF just before their baseline scan? Did you get to start stimming as normal?


Hugs to pickle, lisa, littleme, PM and anyone else in need xxx

Cant help with that one FP, assuming that's long protocol with down regging? I always just start stims on day 2or 3 of my cycle

Loveactually

Frozen - I was also long protocol and DR using buserelin and my AF was late. I actually had my base line scan on CD 4. The lining was not thin enough so stims were delayed by one week.

But as you are going much later than CD4 I think your lining should be thin enough to start stimming. All the best.

frozenpenguin

Thanks love and lisa - yep, it is LP with DR-ing. My scan will be CD6 so hopefully it'll be thin enough to start stimming the next day.

If they have to delay it, that's not too bad - although I know that if it does get pushed back , it'll actually end up being by 2 weeks because of Easter and the bank holidays! Oh well, that's still on the right track anyway xx

Part_Mouse

Isla there really trying me and my already little trust in the NHS.Will be giving my FS a call on Monday and see whats happening now.
