All the best star for Monday. 22 follicles is a good number.

How many days did u stim?

Hugs code and PM.

Afm - still on 3rd day of stimming taking injections is becoming
Easier now. I don't have any side effects making me wonder if it is working or not. Can't wait for 18 march for my first scan to see if I have developed any follicles or not.

I started injecting last Weds

To be honest not felt much at all!

Day three of stims here also LA.
I wouldn't Worry about symptoms certainly this early on, you will hopefully be pleasantly surprised at your scan at all the Activity going on inside.
Scan on Friday for me along with my first drip infusion so a bit apprehensive of that, first time I've been on this amount of stims, back in my first cycle (2003!!) I was only on 150/75 on alternate days now I'm on 300 with my old lady Ovaries!

I am also on 300 due to my AMH which is a 7.

I hope my ovaries respond properly.

Are any of you ladies having acupuncture also ?

No acupuncture for me... All I am doing is:

Folic tablets daily
3 scrambled eggs for breakfast
Chicken for lunch (with salad or in sandwich)
Salmon or meatballs or steak for dinner

No caffeine at all

Loveactually

Here is the list of things I am doing:

2 boiled eggs for breakfast
Grilled chicken breast with salad or vegetables in afternoon.
Lots of mixed nuts and Brazil nuts and cereals with lots of milk in night
Acupuncture once a week
A small glass of pineapple juice since stims started
Pregnacare conception vitamins
2 litres water
And atleast 3 portions of fruit in between.
Ivf hypnosis every night
Hot water bottle for 15-20 min on tummy before going to bed

I m reading different forums and trying to follow as much as possible.

Ahhh the things we do

Loveactually - I am having acupuncture. No idea if its doing anything but at least I feel as if I am trying. Having weekly sessions at the moment and then will have one the night before EC and one straight after transfer, if we get that far.

Am also doing eggs for breakfast, nuts for snacks, cutting sugar, no alcohol, no caffeine, no strenuous exercise and taking folic acid. Felt terrible on those pregnacare tablets so have binned those.

Is everyone on short protocol? I'm still downregging! Having to sleep with the bedroom windows open and fan on full blast all night to get any sleep otherwise am waking up constantly drenched in sweat.

Yaaawn, bored of it all already. Just want to stuff myself with crème eggs.

Star that's great news on your follies, sounds like you'll have lots of lovely eggs.

Littleme, was your 'announcement' completely out of the blue? Ours was a friend we've not seen in while so had literally no idea, really knocked me for six.

Thanks for doing the list frozen xxx

ETA: Hey, if Goodvibes is stimming from the 21st too then we've got ourselves a half-dozen

Just got off the phone with my mum. My dad was taken to hospital in an ambulance. He's stable but has to spend the night and when he gets out he'll need someone to come around and deal with his medication every day.

So far this year we've found out that DH will never be able to produce enough sperm for icsi, and therefore we cant have kids, my trigeminal neuralgia has flared up again and the drugs dont work anymore, my sister may or may not have cancer again, work is restructuring in a way that isn't quite clear yet but restructuring is never good news, my friend is marrying a gold digger, my other friend has pnd, our shower and microwave have both conked out, the latter traumatising the dog who has needed the vet twice, I've has wisdom tooth surgery that didn't go very well, and now my dad is in hospital. Its only March !!!!!!! So far 2014 sucks!!!

Didn't want to read and run. Codemonkey.. Sending hugs. Life can be immeasurably rubbish sometimes. Hope things pick up for you and your family v soon x

Jeez code, , that's quite a list I hope your Dad recovers swiftly xxx

Star - glad the follies are coming on ok

PM - hugs for continual bleeding and still getting nowhere

Code - sending you massive hugs, hope your dad will be ok

Ladies I need to go for bloods on CD1, 2 or 3. Started spotting last night but no red blood still - I can get to the hospital for bloods today but they do not open long enough to get there tomorrow and don't open over the weekend. Should I go today (hopefully more of a flow will happen throughout the day) or do I wait until Monday and risk it being a day late? Thanks

Part_Mouse

Code what a horrid start to the year you've had, I hope your dads ok and things get better for you soon.

Tia I'm not sure about bloods, sorry.
