Second IVF cycle after not getting a single blastocyst in November last year. Praying this time is different.
Well, this time is different - can’t move from the sofa. Nausea. Exhausted. Snappy. Tired. Angry. Bleeeeuuuuggghhhhh.
....and I have to go back to work tomorrow. No idea how I am going to get up.
Working + IVF = torture
❤️
I am day 8 of stims injections and today had been the worst I've felt- pretty much everything you said! Up until now, I have been feeling pretty good, apart from tiredness. Many, many early nights and long sleeps have been had! I had a scan on Friday and have another one tomorrow to check follicle growth. We are aiming for egg collection on friday. Keeping everything crossed, all of the time!! Work is something I could do without too, know how you feel! X
Same as me! EC on Friday!
I wish I could take the time off, but don’t have enough annual leave.
Fingers crossed for Friday xx
Hi Anna. Sounds awful you poor thing. However, not too long until egg collection, so hopefully you can have a good rest afterwards. Try drinking some extra water t settle brain a bit, sometimes helps. Fingers crossed for a much better result this time round. Diane
Thank you so much Diane
Hey Anna (cycle-buddy),
I am on day 6. Stimming has been hard for me also. Mainly emotionally, since I cried almost for 2 entire days in a row. Today I woke up feeling full! Like eaten a burger full. I will start today my 2 shot which I am not feeling excited about, as I have read it can be painful....
What medicatin are you on?
Hello ☺️
Hope your EC went well? I am on full works.....Gonal and Menopur
I have not had ec yet. Things are growing as we would have liked, so they added a few more days. What about u? When are you scheduled?
Already done...see my latest post. Fearing the worst 😭
So glad things are going well x
I just re-read my comment. I meant things are NOT growing as we would have liked 
I am scheduled for Wednesday now.....
I am sorry to read your update. But try not to worry. How many do you have now? Just because things didn't work last time it does not mean the same will happen. Stay optomistic, and take care of yourself!! It really just needs 1!
Oh no....sorry to hear that. This process really is a mystery. Like you say, just need one ☝️ and you can get many more mature eggs but waiting. How many do you have?
I am petrified. Went to the clinic this morning and said my eggs were “mildly abnormal” because they are not smooth. I never had that the last time....
Literally cried my eyes out in the clinic.
This is absolute hell 😭
I am so sorry. This is such a hard process. I hope you get better news soon.
Is there anything you changed this time around?
Last scan there were only 3 above 12mm. I am really gutted. I just hope that they will catch up these extra days.
You have some time....and you only need one! Just keep positive...best for eggs to grow in a stress-free home 
Also, this process is so unpredictable. Anything could happen so just got to dig deep and rest as much as possible.
I did everything better this time - no alcohol, lots of expensive supplements...that’s why I don’t understand. I just don’t get it. There are no answers to even the basic things....
X
Same here.. supplements + no alcohol +no coffee + healthy food.... I start to wonder if any of these really matters.
I am rooting for you! I truly hope you get some nice blasts.
It’s all a complete hoax. I drank alcohol and took no supplements last time...and the eggs looked better than this time.
I just can’t trust anything anymore. Broken.
Rooting for you too x
