2nd Tracking Scan and a sore throat

[LisaBeatrix1980]

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all staying well and safe, I am constantly being told 'you really have picked the worst time for this', which I think is probably true. But I know how fortunate I am to still be in treatment when so many of you amazing women have been postponed or been unsuccessful, i am always thinking of you all, I feel like we are an online family that nobody else understands because they aren't going through it.

I had my 1st stim tracking scan wednesday, the left side wasn't showing much but the right had some follicles and so they were positive and so was I that I would have today's scan and hopefully egg retrieval next week. But today things havent progressed much and I wasn't showing enough activity above the dreaded line on the graph to mean there is anthing worth harvesting yet. Obviously I am a bit gutted, i know it isn't the end but means I will need to stay on medication and go back for a scan monday to see if anything has changed.

To top it off my clinic now take temperatures when you walk into reception which I am fine with, but today the nurse announced loudly 'Hun you are 37.4, you need to keep an eye on that!'. To which the poor patient behind me recoiled and I was left feeling panic and now it's all I can think about. I can't concentrate beacuse I don't have a thermometer anyway, there are non available and if it is high or I am coming down with something what on earth can I do about it!? So going into the weekend anxious I am coming down with something that would prevent me from proceeding, and that's even if Mondays scan shows a better picture.

Not a great day, but I hope you are all feeling positive and hanging in there during this really worrying time.

I had my 2nd scan too this morning, Im the same as you staying on the injections until Monday and have another scan then. The nurse sounded hopeful though and said collection could be Thursday or Friday! How do you feel in yourself? I have read about bloating and pain at night and all I have is a tiny bit of bloating which isn’t affecting me whatsoever! Hoping on Monday everything will have changed though! Xxx

Hi, how are you? I spent the whole weekend petrified to do anything or worrying about getting ill. But I was ok and Monday’s scan went well, had EC this morning. Hope you’re doing ok xx

I know, I have spent the last couple of weeks praying that I don’t catch anything to cancel the cycle completely! Hope you feel ok today! I had mine yesterday morning too! Nervous wait now, just hope Mon/Tues brings good news! Good luck! Xx

My temperature was 37.8 when I arrived for transfer earlier this week. I spent the whole journey there panicked what would happen as we were down to one surviving embryo, I ran in all flustered, I am totally well and I’ve checked my temperature loads since and it’s not been high. They let me in though x

Hey if this helps at all I managed to get a thermometer from this place and it arrived in about 2-3 days, but i think you can pay extra for next day delivery too:

It’s pretty much the only one I could find online without a few weeks wait for delivery!

Good luck with the rest of your treatment x
