Hi everyone,
Tomorrow is either going to be a make or break day for me and for once it's an un-IBS related issue.
I am going through the IVF process and although I said it's un-IBS related the injections, nose spray and tablets have definately not helped the IBS symptoms!
I liked the suggestion for "bitchy bowel" as a name for IBS as that has definately been me lately. I have felt sorry for my family as this cocktail of hormones going into my body has turned me into a monster. It has been pretty hard, especially dealing with IBS on top of it all.
Anyway, getting back to tomorrow. I have an appointment with my fertility doctor for a scan where we will hopefully find lots (though not too many that we have to cancel) of eggs. I'm really worrying because last time I tried this my body did not respond at all. However this time we have tried different drugs, dosage, procedure etc and my doctor is pretty confident.
If I have a good number of eggs I will be going into hospital on monday to have them "collected" under a GA. Then 48 hrs later they will transfer back two embryos. Then I can only hope that at least one of them gets comfy in there!
Anyway, I'm so nervous, I just want this to work so much!
Hoping,hoping,hoping,
Kerrie

Hi Kerrie - that's wonderful! I'll pray for you and send fertile thoughts your way. My hubby and I are going through the same thing! If you would like to correspond via email regarding IBS and/or IVF outside the board, my email is meg97ct@aol.com.
FYI - our first IVF cycle begins on May 20 (give or take a day or two). I won't start injections until then but have been on the pill for 2 mos.
Keep me posted

Good luck and I will be praying for you. I have been wondering when you were going to start the IVF process. I hope it goes great and you will have a wonderful happy baby before long. Keep me posted on how you are feeling when you are pregnant.

Thanks for all your good wishes everyone but unfortunately it didn't work so I won't be in hospital on Monday having my eggs collected.
Apparently my ovaries have decided to be in the 1% (Yes 1% only and it had to be me - how frustrating!) that do not want to respond to follicle stimulating hormone. Most women respond with about 15 eggs on the dose I'm on.
Anyway, the plan of action is to up the dose for the next 4 days and see my doctor on Monday for a scan to see if we have an improvement.
I'm trying to be positive and keep things normal especially as I don't want to upset the IBS (it's already flaring due to the hormones) but it's hard not to be down over it all. It's just so unbelievable that I am doing all this to try and have a baby and it still won't happen.
I'll keep you posted with any progress and I am very thankful for your support.

Kerrie,
i am so sorry that your ovaries are still not responding despite your efforts Doesnt it seem so unfair sometimes that theres these 15 yrs old girls, drunks, heroine addicts, ect that can have babies and dont even want them, and some good, honest people (like you) try their butt off and sometimes still cant have one? Oh well, I sure, fate will take its toll and give you another little child if i were ment to be

Kerrie - I wish there was something more to do than say I'm so sorry it didn't work for you. It just breaks my heart that you're having such a tough time. I guess if it was meant to be, it will happen. I will keep praying for you.
Good luck with the next dose, and stay positive.

Hi KinOz
I'll be praying for you that everything goes well. God knows and his timing is everything. I have a friend her and her husband tried everything for 7 yrs and now they have a little girl and she is almost 2. She had a really rough pregnancy so I call Zoey the Miracle Baby.
God Bless Georgette

Dear Kerrie,
Praying that God will draw near to you in your great disappointment. In Psalm 34:18, the Bible says: "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit." In Psalm 147:3, it says, "He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds." I'm praying that as He draws near to you, you will feel His comforting embrace, as He cradles you next to His heart.
Blessings,
Kaybee C
