A little bit afraid

Well I am trying to not think negative, but I really am scared. I started not feeling well yesterday (day 8 of stims), and then thru the night the pressure and discomfort in my abdomen escalated. This morning I felt nausea (probably nerves) and quite a bit fatigued and out of breath.

Was in tears on the drive to the doctor and even still when I got there this morning (so embarassing ). I had my u/s (which was fairly painful) and it showed a whole bunch of follies again... maybe too many. So far there are a significant number that are quite small at 12 or so, but there are some leads on each side at 19/20. I couldn't look much at the screen cause I was so uncomfortable with that stupid wand pressing on my swollen ovaries. The RE said they would count all of them tomorrow and they just counted the large ones today.

They are gonna see what my E2 comes back at. Yesterday it was only 839... on day 8 of stims during my cancelled cycle it was over 2900. My RE said he'd still like to trigger tomorrow and E/R on Mon, but he wants to do an u/s tomorrow to take a look at the smaller follies. He is hoping that they don't start to catch up He mentioned we might postpone the E/R until Tues (which I think means we might have to coast a day ).

I don't know why I respond like this. I'm fearful again that maybe they won't do transfer b/c of the risk of severe OHSS. And last cycle when I started with that fear we ended up cancelling the whole thing altogether. I heard the nurse tell the RE today that they already have the order of what ever medicine is used intraveinously during E/R to help fend of OHSS (starts with an "a" but I can't remember the name). I hate this.... I hate the fear I am feeling. I just pray the NP calls back with good news about my E2.

Re: A little bit afraid

Kari, Im sorry you dont feel good, but dont give up hope. Why isn't he triggering you already though, if you dont mind me asking? Are you still on follistim now? Or he just has you coasting? He must know better though , he has the full picture.
I think my biggest follie was around 19 when RE had me trigger that same evening. They still get to grow until retrieval, and all of mine were matured.
Good luck,
Mady

Re: A little bit afraid

Kari

I am so sorry that you are going through all this..........i am also sure that the added stress is not doing you any good so ....i know it s so much easy said and done ....but try to take it easy. Spend some time with DH.......i am sure he will help you feel better.

Also remember the faith that you have in your dr.....you throughout thic cycle showed the particular attention to each and every single day of your cycle. I am sure that he has experience in the field and i am sure that history won t repeat itself.

It is completely normal for you too be afraid and anxious but remember you are in very good hands.I am praying hard that your E2 levels will come back ok and that you will get good news from your u/s tomorrow so that you can out your mind at rest.

Sending you big hugs

Amy

Re: A little bit afraid

Hey Kari, I'm so sorry you are going through all this worry. I'm not surprised you are fearful after last time, but your numbers are so much lower this time, I'm sure you will be ok. I hope you manage to rest up until your u/s and take it as easy as you possibly can. Take lots of deep breaths and get DH to look after you. Massive hugs and good luck. Keep us posted. Thinking of you & praying for you,
Lizzie

Re: A little bit afraid

Kari, I'm so sorry you're feeling scared and you're in pain. I wish there was something I could do as you've been so kind to me during this cycle. I will be praying for good e2 levels and a positive outcome. Hang in there and I hope the pain subsides a bit. - April
