Final scan today before EC weds.

[Jessy1280]

2nd cycle and I'm still terrified. My anxiety is through the roof. In work and can't concentrate. Fortunately work have been amazing and I've even managed to get out of an all day course tomorrow. Ironically about mental health.

I know I'm up to about 16 follicles Friday gone. They suspect I'll get 12 mature. However I went from 9 to 16 follicles in just 2 days last week.

I'm finding it harder to cope given that OH is not supportive at all and we had a major argument over the weekend which is still lingering. He normally comes to all my appointments but today will be the third he's missed because of work. He's his own boss so couldve come really. I don't know how to cope anymore x

16 follicles is amazing! I’m on my 3rd scan and only got about 5-6. Hubby hasnt come to any of my appointments, says work wont allow it but im not convinced he even asks!

You’re doing amazing, your body sounds like its responding well so take comfort in that and focus on focusing your mind. You can do this!! ♥️ xx

Thank you. Sat outside the clinic now waiting to go in. Appointment is 13.10.

My body always seems to respond well. Had 18 last time. Its been so long since my last cycle, can't remember when they'll ask me to do trigger shot. Nervous as I had really bad ohss last time x

It's hard when you dont feel supported and I've no doubt your hormones are raging which wont help the situation with your OH. Men just dont understand how nerve racking it all is to not be able to trust our bodies, we worry all the time and they just switch off. Not long to go now Jessy, hang on in there. Wishing you lots of luck for EC.xx

Thank you all 😘. EC on weds at last. They could only find 15 follicles (instead of 16 like last Fri) however only 10 (not 12 now) of those likely to be mature. Final meds this arvo and trigger shot tonight! Praying the smaller follicles catch up by weds. 🍍 🌈 🤞 ☘ Xx

Ivf buddy! I had 11 follicles above 14mm today and also have egg collection Weds! 😁 will be thinking of you xx

[Jessy1280 in reply to Sunshine92]

Awww thank you. Good luck! My follicles are more controlled this cycle but still a little all over the place! Got one which is 21mm and one 8mm.

Theyve said ill probably get 10 at EC but I've got 13 over 14mm.

Not sure what's the minimum size they can be before they're considered immature?

Keep me posted how you get on. X

Great news, well not about your OH being a pain in the butt. If it helps I found mine especially annoying around this time.

It is great news about the number of follicles though. Good luck for Wednesday 🤞🤞 xx

[Jessy1280 in reply to Kyell2]

Thank you. I think he just doesn't understand the painful prospect of never being a mum at nearly aged 39 as he has 2 kids already. This forum has saved my sanity tbh xx

Good luck jessy.

Wishing you all the luck in the world and hope all goes well.

My journey is sadly over...had EC on Friday they retrieved one egg which never fertilised. .never mind..at least I know to give life it's all now. Xx

[Jessy1280 in reply to Sambab]

You are a very brave lady. I'm so sorry to hear this. It's a tough, tough journey and a scary prospect of never getting there. Do you have any other options available to you at all? I'm only on my second ever transfer next week and terrified it'll fail again. I've kinda pinned all my hopes on this cycle as I always respond well, good embryos and there's nothing wrong with me medically.... Just my age against me I suppose.

Wishing you all the very best xxx 🤗
