Ah ha! Good thought re the blood vessel melly - that would explain why it bled quite a bit and it really hurt. Typical ... I have no co-ordination at all, but I manage to hit an incy wincy blood vessell with an incy wincy needle!

I am drinking sooo much water to combat the headaches - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm managing to stay away from painkillers though, just in case it does anything. I don't think it would, but you know! You get a bit worried about these things this far down the track.

I start Puregon on about Thursday I think, so will hopefull be able to let that settle into my system over the weekend I'm not looking forward to 2 stab holes a day though Still, I'm 1/3 of the way there, and you've only got about a 1/3 of the way to go!! Yay us!!

you guys are doing soooooo well!

good luck for your blood test tomorrow melly! exciting having the trigger injection tomorrow night! enjoy your day today relaxing!

the blood labs in the morning are mad aye ginger! its quite good having the fluro boxes on the blood forms but saying fax results the same day because they make sure they have sucked ya blood before 9 hehe hopefully your blood results are good and your body is doing what it is suppose to be and you can start your next lot of injections towards the end of the week! I'm sure having 2 jabs will be ick but just think you are moving onto the next stage and soon it will be all over

OUCH bout the blood vessel and brusing

I love reading your guys progress and do think you are both doing really well! i'm sure in a few months time i will be digging up this thread just to see if how i'm feeling is 'normal' lol

Apart from the horrid headaches and a few bruises I've coped relatively well...haven't been too grumpy or moody, mind you my workmates may say something different - especially the one I made cry on thursday (think she has other things going on too) . Hence me taking this week off work, wasn't coping too well with the stress of work, headaches, not being able to concentrate etc - seeing i've come this far and i really want this to work first time round, it was time for me to look out for me, plus DH told me he didn't want me going in this week.

DH has been sooo supportive, he's done the majority of the injections (I've done probably 1/4 of them), been my shoulder to cry on etc.

Anyway as you said we're both over the halfway hurdle. I am quite excited now i've seen the follicles and that the drugs are finally working, only a couple of days to go till EC..

Erm ... scrub that. I have no idea where I am now - I haven't down regulated I have a scan tomorrow to find out what's going on that I haven't responded. They think I may have a follicle growing.

I'm just hyperventilating at the moment that there may be a follicle, and that they may pull the plug, and then boom! My first cycle is over.

I'd braced myself for everything except it going wrong this early I didn't even think to ask at orientation what would happen if down regulation didn't Maybe they'll just up my drugs? Except if there's a follicle growing, then that doesn't deal with the follice

Bollocks!

big ginger - i hope they can do something as it will be disappointing for this cycle to be canned. If there isn't a follicle then maybe increasing your drugs will work.

more 's ginger!

I dont know if this will help but i just had a look at my IVF treatment info booklet and it says........ 'if the levels of hormones do not down regulate as expected, it may be nessary to have a scan and to continue administering Buserelin for longer before starting stimulation injections. This usually means youe egg collection will be delayed'. I hope this is what is going to happen for you I really really hope they dont cancel the round.

Thanks noodle! I lost my book (I know, I know. Completely useless!!) in the midst of the renovation chaos - methinks it's somewhere in our garage amongst all the furniture Anywho - it obviously meant I couldn't look anything up.

So, we're hoping for no follicle (please, please, please no follicle!) and *gulp* I guess just more Buserelin.

In the meantime, DH has completely screwed his back and can't move, which is a distraction if nothing else! Poor DH!!

I beat you to the trigger injection melly

Unfortunately though, for me, it's because I have to start over There were 4 follicles - 1 really big one. It took 2 specialists scratching their heads to decide that what seems to have happened, they think, because it's very abnormal, is that I've ovulated, not downregulated, continued growing other follicles, but still had a period even with the follicles growing

So, one trigger injection later, I'm starting again and everyone is keeping their fingers crossed that I don't grow any more damn follicles!

It could have been worse Lulu ... I could be the one picking up the bill! Yay for publicly funded IVF when the bill has just rocketed closer to $20,000.00 than $10,000.00!!

Thankfully, I do get to start straight away. They gave me a trigger injection to ovulate the follicles so I can start again immediately.

oh no melly! I'm so sorry!! I was so caught up in me, that I forgot about you!

I meant to say I hope that all is well with the BT and your trigger scheduling - it's down to the wire for you!!

Yes, noodle - thankfully (very, very, very, very thankfully!!!!) it's still classed as round one. A pear-shaped round one, but round one nonetheless! HUGE sigh of relief!!
