I think I might have an anxiety attack (vent)

mdluv21 · October 2010

Even though work is pretty busy and we are having a big Halloween party here at the office on Friday that I am in charge of, I am still finding time to freak out. LOL

I think I might have an anxiety between now and Friday when they call me to let me know how the embryos are doing...I wish I would hear tomorrow.

Plus, I start PIO tonight and that needle scares the shiit out of me.

And I still feel like my ovaries are going to explode. It seems to be worse instead of better. Boo.

::vent over::

I'm sorry sweetie. I was just wondering how you were feeling. It took almost a week for my ovaries to start shrinking and my E2 was no where near yours. Make sure you take it easy. So you don't get a call on day 3 to get an update on the embies? I would go nuts.

I am sorry, sweetie. The freak out is understandable, but I have high hopes for you

I meant to ask you, how is the Heparin treating you?

No I don't get a day 3 update apparently. Crying The nurse said they would call on Friday and let me know what time to come in and how many of the 13 were still thriving. I am tempted to call them tomorrow but I am sure that is obnoxious.

I was feeling pretty good right after ER but each day it has gotten a little worse. I luckily have been working half a day from home yesterday and today which helps so I can use a heating pad.

I am just horribly impatient!

The heparin hasn't been bad! It does leave bruises but it hasn't hurt me at all go in, so I am thankful for that!

Oh, that's great. It still stings me and I seem to be getting a bit more bruised up, but I don't seem to care anymore LOL.

Can you call the lab at all?

Yeah I def. look like a battered person right now but they are not painful bruises, just ugly. Everytime I shower, the punctures open up a little and bleed which is gross. I am sorry it stings you.

I don't know...I am debating calling tomorrow. I would think they would check on them between now and Friday but I don't want to sound obnoxious either.

Meh, you know what? Fvck it. You're paying enough dough for this and I don't see why they wouldn't tell you. And don't worry about being obnoxious, I am pretty sure other patients call too. I mean, no way you can go this long without an update.

Ha, I love it! Depending on my state of mind tomorrow, I might be giving them a ring.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if I was the only one feeling this bad two days after.

I am so happy for you! I love seeing that ticker!

I posted while at work and then I was driving home and thought "oh crap I have a ticker on there and I posted on the IF board" so I rushed to my computer to apologize. So sorry!

Thank you so much though. I sure hope that this is your BFP cycle as well! I will be looking forward to hearing about your awesome embie growth report and ET details!

etoyama · October 2010

Aw hon, it's a lot to take. Seriously I don't know how anyone doesn't have an anxiety attack during an IVF cycle. I hope you start to feel better, both physically and emotionally, very soon.

No apology needed! I need to put SAIF in my siggy because you ladies are always welcome in my posts!

Thanks again for the well wishes!

drink lots of gatorade and get some fast food. try to rest when you can and if your o's are hurting get the thermacare raps and wear them, heat helps so much.

GL cutie

your embies are doing great

STL34 · October 2010

I hope you feel better soon.

Don't worry too much about the PIO. Heat the area before and after and put the vial in your waist band or something to warm it up. I do that and have my DH massage my butt after the injection. That seems to work for me. Also, make sure it is in the upper outer quadrant of your butt cheek. My nurse said if you get it too far in, you start getting into nerves and if you do it too low, you sit on it.

I thought the labs did something to the culture medium around day three. If they do, then they will be looking at them sometime that day. I know my RE has mentioned that the new culture medium (which I though he said was multi-stage) is why 5 dts are becoming more standard. It is worth asking!

Good luck!
