Ladies doing their first cycle of IUI or IVF.

[Blueflower]

As for me, well what can I say, I had my D&C tue, I didn't like it one bit, I was heavily sedated so felt nothing but afterwards was dying to pee but couldn't go on bedpan ended up having a catheter, and I was so spaced out but at the same time adrenalin pumping through my body, we left hozzie at 3pmbut it got worse, teeth chattering, muscles spasms, shaking....went back to A&E they were so uncaring had to wait for 3 hours to be seen, by whichpoint it was midnight and Id been up since 6am I was exhausted but couldn't relax was horrendous, eventually I had a massive panic attack in ther hospital and abit of a breakdown....they think the whole thing was the start of a breakdown as my bloods etc all shown ok. The next day I had another panic attack and ended up at the docs and now im on anxiety medication....they did give me anti depressents too but I only took 1 and it knocked me for six so I came off them I don't think im depressed just extremely upset and angry. Ive been feeling aloit better the last few days, haven't needed to pop one of my anxiety tablets thankfully, its been a scary week.
I think the tipping point was whern they came to administer an anti D jab and the nurse said 'This is because you are Rh - and your baby was Rh +, it just made the whole thing seem so real, I had a baby who had there own blood group and now that baby is dead and been removed from me. This experience has been the worse Ive ever had and I even said to DH the other day im not trying again, obviously ive now decided other wise haha, but wont be for a good while as I really feel I was so close to a breakdown these last 4 years have obviously just took its toll x

Oh you poor poor thing that's just horrendous.

Blue flower, was supposed to be ivf but I ovulated right before egg collection so nothing to collect iui was to save the cycle.

Thanks ladies... Trying not to feel too rubbish xx

I remember, hopefully next time it won't pop out early!

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?

I've got my next scan on Wednesday and tomorrow have been doing gonal f for a week so will be interesting to see if anythings happening on Wednesday. Which I doubt it has lol! But you never know.

How is everyone else? X

 

[gemmainthesun]

im going away today for few days with hubby to relax, still feeling very down but haven't had any more panic attacks and been off all the medication for a while...had a very heavy period so hoping my body is now getting back to normal, prob have around 4 months now before we are back up the hospital, will call them july time but the department closes in aug so it will be sept now when we hopefully get another transfer but after my mini break im starting my folic acid again and healthy eating and basically getting my body ready for the next go x

Hi ladies

I'm just popping my head in, IVF might be the only option for me soon, I was just having a read through the thread to get some info/see how you are all doing. You all seem so brave/supportive with what you are going through.

Congrats lucyboo!! So pleased it all went well, you sound really relaxed and happy, a perfect bfp recipe!! Good luck on Thurs!
MissJ how are you?? Have you got some big follies growing?
Not sure if I updated- I had to take a month off because the 2 follicles that ovulated turned into cysts! So have been on the pill...next week will start again!

Hey Lucy! Huge congrats on the wedding! Hope the appointment goes well on Thursday.

Aw Blondy I'm sorry to hear it but glad you can start again next week! X

Hope everyone's well ladies. X

Afm, I've been quiet cos this cycle has been quiet lol! They decided not to do as many scans because I respond quite slowly so they instead upped my dose after one week instead of the usual 2 weeks so it's gone a bit faster. Nothing's been happening on my left ovary but my right ovary has a 19mm follie so I've been booked in for Friday afternoon. Looks like I'll be in the 2ww by the weekend!

As usual, I hope this cycle is the one, my legs are getting a bit sensitive to the injections I think, I've hated doing my injections this cycle as my legs seem a bit sore. Tried to inject in my belly but I'm such a wimp I couldn't do it so have stuck to alternating injections in my legs.

Got to do my trigger tonight so we are all set for friday. Then I can shut my sharps box for a couple of weeks!! And hopefully for a while cos we want a bfp this time!

Other than that, I've gained 5-7 pounds which has bummed me out so I need to get back on track and shed it quickly.

Anyways, I hope you're all well ladies. Xx

 

[Blueflower]

I've now started on the drugs! Just the pill for a couple of weeks, its weird going back on it after so long! I feel a bit hormonal already! Feel nervous but excited as well! I really hope the hydrosalpinx doesn't come back and we have to abandon the cycle and get the laparoscopy after all!

 

[gemmainthesun]

Is this your ivf cycle blueflower? X

 

[Lucyboo]

Aww, fingers crossed blue flower.. Yeah are you on your cycle now?

Hope you are doing ok Gemma.

Good luck Friday miss j. Hope this is your cycle.

Today went well, we are doing a different protocol. Lower dosage this time. The dr was great, really positive still, fingers crossed, we hopefully start in couple of weeks, whenever af shows up xx

 

[Clairabella]

Good luck to the ladies going through the treatment at the min.

[MissJuly10]

Hey ladies hope you're all doing ok.

I've had the IUI done, they scanned me whilst it was being done and showed me the screen so we could see it all which was amazing.

My OTD is the 18th of May which of course feels forever away!!

All we can do now is wait ... I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot.. Lol

Best of luck MissJuly xxx
