Me too noodle - I'm supposed to have had a bleed after the trigger injection but I haven't, although I'm cramping something terrible. BT is Tuesday and I'm really worried. I guess though that I can't change anything - I'm my body isn't behaving, it isn't behaving. Mind you, last time I had a bleed which was supposed to be a good sign, and it was the complete opposite so who knows? ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:36:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=353740&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#353740 <![CDATA[The first big day for Mellybelly! : oooh fingers crossed mellybelly!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=353666&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#353666 Author: noodle

Have decided not to go to work today - taking another day just to make sure all is ok.

Have just started getting niggly pains (aches really) around my ovaries, guess it could just be them healing, they got some pretty rough treatment last week.

That's good that you're ok - hopefully the spotting stops, and yes, it would be wonderful if it was implantation bleeding. It would make sense if it was about now too, wouldn't it for implantation?

I knew IVF would be hard, but I really wasn't prepared for the mental endurance required. I don't suppose anything can prepare you for it really.

Ah well - pg test for you next week, down reg BT for me - bring on next week huh?]]> Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:36:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=351986&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#351986 <![CDATA[The first big day for Mellybelly! : no you are definitely not alone...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=351971&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#351971 Author: mellybelly

no you are definitely not alone with the panic attacks!
Not doing too bad today, spotting seems to have abated a bit - haven't made it to work yet. Am giving it another half hour then will reassess. So fingers crossed all it was was implantation bleeding and spotting to do with that

Hi Melly, gosh I am trying to think back. I know I had some bleeding throughout the injections, but I don't think I had any after embryo transfer. But the nurses are so experienced in the different things that happen, I would definately take her word for it that you shouldn't worry unless the bleeding gets worse and you have pain. It's such a hard time Melly, I know that I worried about every twinge I felt and wondered what they all meant. The two week wait is the hardest part of the whole IVF journey I think.

Not having such a flash day today. Went to the bathroom today at work and noticed a bit of bleeding, was more like pink mucus and got a bit freaked out. It has stopped now, didn't actually last long, now have a small bit of brown spotting.

Spoke to nurse at FAA and she assures me this is normal, as long as I don't get lots of fresh red blood accompanied by pain (which i don't)but that I need to take it easy and rest up - so am now at home spending time on the couch with the sky remote (gotta love the living & food channels).

Anyway - back at work today, not doing too badly, except have an upset tummy (feels like something isn't sitting right..just below ribs ) and am really tired, had hoped that symptom would disappear...am heading off home in about an hour to have a nap and continue working from there - good when you can count internet searching as your work...

All went well today .

We've got a nice 8 cell embryo that has been transfered. We've been lucky enough to have two others at 8 cells available to be frozen and two others at 9 cells that are going to be monitored to blastocyst stage and if all is ok they'll freeze those. We lost one embryo due to not dividing properly.

I can't rate the staff at FA highly enough, they have been fabulous during our treatment and today just topped it off.

Wow - thank you all so very very much for all the good wishes.

Egg Collection went well, have ended up with 6 eggs out of the 8 follicles (2 were empty). I don't recall any of the procedure as I was pretty out of it, was anesthetised due to Endo. Am a little achy, wheatbag doing the trick there - have been lying on the couch all arvo.

The embryologist is calling tomorrow morning at 9.30 with the news of how many have fertilized. All going well we'll be back in on sunday for transfer.

Again, thank you all very much for the good wishes. ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:07:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=343739&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#343739 <![CDATA[The first big day for Mellybelly! : Lots and lots of luck heading...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15954&PID=343341&title=the-first-big-day-for-mellybelly#343341 Author: noodle

Saying good luck doesn't seem enough - I'm hoping with everything in me that today goes perfectly, and I'll be thinking of you constantly over the next few days hoping and praying that everything happens as it should.

Everything is crossed for you.
