Hi !!!!!
I just want to wish you luck!!
I'm almost close to ivf like you, but i'm still waiting my turn.

I can try to find some information for you on one of croatian site where i'm posting for long time, so just ask.

as far as I know, those injection is not that often with bed effects.
You just have to keep contact with your doc.
Sometimes it's happened that some womens have hyperstimulation ( because of all of hormones), but it is not dangers and it is not often. Even if that happened you can go on ivf procedure. Don't worry and be strong.
All what you doing now is for your baby, and you will the most happier mother in the world.
I wish you that from the bottom of my heart.
Take care and be strong! You can do that!!!! Big hug!! :d

sorry on my bad english , I m just croatian girl

Maja, thank you very much for your encouragement. I feel warm at heart. In fact, i've just done my daily injection by myself. Sticking the needle in made me nervous. After reading your message, I feel better! :d

is the website you mentioned in english? Much info from there?

Thanks!!!!!

Hi,

sadcat, I wish you to become happycat as soon as possible
and you will be!! Im sure!!

Regarding croatian site im talking about, we have conversation on our language which is croatian, but if you need any information you can come and visit us, many of girls speak english too.
Some of them are american or canadian citizen which leave in usa or canada but they are croatian in "original". You know what I mean.

Also, we gave a big support to each other and it is so important.
In july we have 9 pregnant women by ivf which is great.
Some of them have twins.
I wish I have twins too. I have names for them already. Crazy, did I

many of information I need they gave me, and we share information.
It is so great when you know that you are no only one with that problem of infertility. Girls are great!!

How are you??? Do you feel any pain when you gave injection by yourself??
How is going with your eggs?? They growing enough good??
How is going with aspiration (when doctor takes your eggs) I mean is it painfull?? Or it is your first time??
In croatia womens doesent have deep narcosa in that moment, doc gave us only pain killer, but it is ok.
I know I will be strong in that moment because I will know that I m soooooo cloooossseeee to haaavvee babbyyyy. Finally!! Can t wait!!

How is with your husband sperms? Is it good enough??
My boyfriend have oligoasthenozospermia, which means not enough of speed sperms and not enough in volumen. But we found some vitamines which helps in that. Now "our" spermiogram is better in 30% because of vitamines. It is great!!!

Okay, I really talk to much, you can imagine how much I m talking on my own language.
wish you luck and be strong!
Please let me know result of bhcg.
Big hug :d

Hi, maja.

You're really sweet! We also have similar thoughts!! I cant stop myself thinking about babies' names.... Sooooo siily.... :p and sometimes i've dreams about my doc telling me i'm preg and I said to her it couldnt be. Or my husband playing with kids etc.... But now I try not to focus too much on this. Then i'm less stressful.

By calculations, I think the doc will probably be collecting my eggs at around 30th / 31st jul. I'm very nervous. I dont know what's going to happen. The doc told me i'll have to go to the hospital to to that. Then after 2 / 3 days, the fertilized egg will be put back inside me. I need to go back to the hospital to do that. Honestly, i'm quite scared

my husband's sperm count & mobilty are normal. When I was doing iui (i did 5 iuis before going into ivf), the sperms were washed to increased performance. So. It couldnt be causing infertility. But i've also being checked. I'm perfectly normal too!!! So what's wrong??!! Anyways, I try to stop thinking too much because that annoys me.

Injecting myself doesnt cause too much trouble. But sometimes i's just not brave enough to do it quickly. I'm like doing it in slooooow motion. Also, the side effects are not too severe on me. I feel tired, sometimes hot flushes. I havent put myself on a scale so not sure about gaining weight.

When will be your turn? God will grant wishes to nice people like you!! So you dont have to worry. You'll soon be a happy mum too.

I've been through ivf five times, if you have any questions let me know and i'll be happy to help any way I can! I wish you much luck!!

Ivf for 5 times????

Hi, i am tintin, married for about 10 yrs without a kid / main problem is my PCOS.
Recently we have decided to go for IVF but in dilemaa now because at the time of egg collection, doctor observed too many eggs(40 ) and now on madicatiuon for OHSS.Although docs is telling they will continue with Egg tranfer, I am very depressed and don't know what next??

Can some one share if the have simillar experience.

HI... we did IVF/ICSI... sadly did not work for us and at the cost of it, could not proceed with another session. Also, I was not sure I could do the whole procedure again only to grieve the loss of the embryos yet again. We did not have very many embryos due to my body not producing enough eggs for some reason. They wanted to try a totally different drug on me that might produce more eggs... but price and emotions dictated otherwise

Anyhow... to survive the injections, some of them have a WICKED kick after they are given (much like a snakebite or someone taking your skin, pinching it and twisting it), have an ice bag handy when you are giving yourself the needle. Once you have given yourself the injection, put the icebag on the site for approx. 5 minutes. This will ease the pain and also reduce the bruising. Before I did this, I looked like I had bruises all over my lower abdomen and the pain had me dreading having to give the next one.

Good luck to you.

Hi All

And continuously i am taking my 5th time treatment next after the 4th time treatment.

Please try to understand my situation and help me.......
I am really sorry about my bad English.

Hi ladies!
I am hopefully going to start my IVF injections this Friday 8/7. I was supposed to start two weeks ago, but the nurse found a big cyst on my ovary and said it needs to shrink before I start injections. I am sooooo nervous about giving myself shots! But I want this more than anything so I will suffer through it.

Are there any lasting side effects of any of the injections? Do they make you nauseas and cause headaches or anything like that? Wish me luck! I am so sacred this won't work for us. We've been waiting 3 years to finally start IVF/ICSI. I need support!

Feel free to write me anytime. I'm starting my IVFICSI injections on the 8th and am also anxious but happy anxious. Not to mention that this year was the most anxious prone year of my lfe and now I'm starting this. I have similar questions you have and am a little scared of hyperovarian stimulation (since a cyst ruptured in me last year lol) but I'm trying to stay positive..The doctor will be monitoring us frequently for side effects. If the procedure doesn't work the first time around, the good news is that you don't have to go through that again. Hopefullt they have enough eggs to work with for fertilization to occur, without all this commotion. Good luck and keep me posted.
