Just a question for those experienced in stimming: do you get any symptoms/feelings in your ovary region, like a feeling of fullness, or twinges, etc.? If so, how many days into stimming did you start feeling stuff? I've had my 4th dose of Gonal this morning and I haven't felt anything yet. I was wondering if I should be at any stage, or if it's normal to feel absolutely nothing down there...

I started to feel things within 3 days (must add, I ended up with 20eggs)
My ovaries even in the early days were swollen & I was having period like pains /pulling twinges etc.... It was a little strange cause you knew so much was going on!

) the nude always said to me it's a good sign that it's all working

Thank goodness it's only a few more days. Never thought I would say the internal scans are the easiest part but they seem to be at the moment!

Sounds good!
At around your stage I was showing 12 around that size... By EPU the retrieved 20 eggs, 4 fertilized, 1 transferred & 2 frozen - 1 didn't make it...

Good luck

Just a quick Q... What is the most reliable hpt? What is everyone using...? Holding off poas but know I will succumb before 1 June!! TWW is too long! Thanks!

Things are not looking good here. We just had an awesome night, went to see Nitro Circus in Melb and it was really exciting, screaming and cheering. The docs didnt think it would be too much for me... We've had tickets since Christmas and it was great to have something else to look fwd too in this tww. I don't know if I've overdone it but I just did my crinone and had blood right on the tip of the applicator. I'm at day 5pt. That's pretty early for AF to come isn't it? I've been saying all day I had a feeling nothing was happening in there...

Hoping for you Frannie that it's just late implant bleed!!

From what i've read on here, First Response seem to be really reliable? It also showed a very faint second line for me at 12dp5dt - which was actually the last remnants of pregnyl in my system, and not a pregnancy, sadly - but they are very sensitive.

Franniesplace - i hope it's an implantation bleed as well!

Meshell, if my next cycle doesn't work, i'm going to try DHEA and accupuncture, i figure, why the hell not?

Thanks

Hugs to u ladies with bfns. Xx

Morning SelM22; I had acupuncture with my last cycle. I loved it and found it very relaxing, however I had an unsuccessful cycle so I don't know if it helped in any way.

Quick question...I had a terrible last night being ill, and I have no idea if it's related to the lap surgery a fortnight ago or the Synarel which is all I'm taking atm. Being a weekend should I start with a regular GP and let them contact FS if they think it's necessary? Seeing FS on Monday anyway but I want someone to tell me things are ok before then!
