2011 - The Year Of The Baby!!

[mrssunshine78]

I should be ok when I'm preg (positive thinking) except I work on my own for 12 hrs at a time on a night, I won't be able to lift any reagents, I'm really not looking forward to the nights I'll be so tired

It's a shame we all put stuff off while ttc, who would have thought it'd take so long

Xx

 

[rachelle1975]

When you're duffers maybe they can take you off nights? I won't have to do them & you could argue after the IVF it's added stress eh??

 

[Wallie]

Good news on your report Rachelle, that's a weight off your mind. Now we just have to wait of ET date. Hope you get to blast again.

to all the PUPO ladies.

Update on me: still sniffing but baseline scan is now less than a week away. Ii'm getting there slowly! Feeling quite emotional at times and others times I feel very down but then I'm happy again. Weird this IVF lark!

Been on a diet though as i'm scared of putting on IVF weight unnecessarily. I think i've lost 3lb but I think that's due to AF arriving last week, but it's all good and I feel slinky for it.

 

[Wallie]

Oh, question for you ladies . Now AF has finally boggin' off I feel a bit jiggy. We don't have to use condoms do we when I'm at DR stage or even at stimulation stage do we? OH hates those damn things, says he can't feel anything, so I was hoping to please him by saying sod those condoms.

 

[rachelle1975]

We got told to use condoms when DR as it's still your 'fertile window' having said that hasn't worked so far I think if you feel fruity go for it as I didn't & was so bloated it would've hurt.

Re weight gain, totally off food during Stims & gained only 2lb this cycle & last so it's all good, you'll be slinky & sexy no worries

we were also told to use condoms, one of my friends laughed when i told her!! suppose it is laughable, but clinic told me its cos the don't know the effects it might have on the foetus if you do get preg

my wieght has stayed the same, thank god, i was really swollen after egg collection, but now i'm almost back to normal

rachelle, my nights are optional, but i get paid extra for them and realistically can't afford to not do them, plus with all the changes going on at the moment in the nhs, the shifts i work now will be used to calculate any pay protection that i'm entitled to

on the subject of work, i've just phoned them and have been told to take the rest of the week off - yay, taken the decision out of my hands

hope everyone is feeling ok today

xx

 

[rachelle1975]

Ooh lovely! Nice to have some time off!! Especially when it's ordered

Ahhh well if it's extra ££ for nights you'll need it to pay for nappies

Awaiting the call tomorrow for blasts, have mild OHSS so swollen & in discomfort but nausea is subsiding.... Just in time for morning sickness to commence

 

[rachelle1975]

Hey ladies.. No transfer today... Nice early call.... 5 at 8 cell, 2 7 cell 1 6 cell and 2 have slowed but still going. 6 grade 1, 1 grade 2 and 1 grade 2-3

How are you all doing? Hope the 2ww isnt sending you all

 

[Misscheifmake]

Great news Rachelle - perfect embys

Are they taking you to a five day transfer?

I'm starting to struggle today with the the 2 ww. I was doing really well until today but then had a bad dream so now the doubts are creeping in..

Just going to have to shove them to the back of mind and believe that this could be it.

 

[rachelle1975]

Hey mischief, believe it can happen because it is possible!!

Yeah 5 day transfer but nervous as last time they pushed it to 6 days & the embies didn't like it. Still, fingers crossed

You at work or off during 2ww? I've booked some AL but I know I shouldn't complain as I only have a week to wait after transfer... I'll still be loopy tho!

How many dp3dt are you?xx

 

[Misscheifmake]

They sound great and with the drug adjustments you have had this time it will all make a difference and you'll have some great day fives to put back.

I took this week off as annual leave to relax but am going back next week to try and keep my mind a occupied, not sure if that will work though..

Today is day 3pt - so at implantation stage from what i have read. I gave them both a talking too earlier and told that they better just stick!

 

[SillyMoo]

Rachelle – fab embies, how exciting!! So nice that they called nice and early, its way too tense (and intense) to have to wait til later, i didn’t hear til after 10 and was climbing the walls!!

Mischeif – Hope that you aren’t going to crazy, I would ignore your dreams its just your subconscious warning you. Try and keep up the PMA, i think going to work may help as you are distracted for large amounts of time.

MrsS – great news on your time off – whoop whoop!!

Wallie – hope youre ok x

I am going doo-lally here. I just want to know. Yesterday I was SO hungry and yet nauseous all day but that stpped in the evening and today i feel fine again, I have had nothing apart from VERY light AF aches which is what I get before the witch turns up. Going to the loo is turning into an ordeal as I am terrified of finding blood..... still will know on Wednesday (when i have to go to East London for an important meeting too, nice).

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Misscheifmake]

Fingers crossed for you Wallie - lots of PMA :O)

 

[rachelle1975]

So when is everyone testing?

I'm on double progesterone this time so major symptom mimicking! Last time I had bleeding gums when I brushed, bloody nose & cramps...!!

 

[Misscheifmake]

I'm testing on the 31st, just a shame i have to go to work on that day as well, oh well.

 

[rachelle1975]

My clinic said testing 31st as well. Sooooo nervous!!

 

[SillyMoo]

Thats so cool that you are both testing on the same day!!

Progesterone is giving me (.Y.) ache.... have had it since EC

I test on the 26th xx

 

[rachelle1975]

Started testing from 10dpec last time... Wonder how my resolve will hold out this time

My boobs have been agony since Stims, I'm now constipated from the progesterone! Delightful!!

 

[Misscheifmake]

Thank goodness i am not the only one! Completely constipated and sore boobs! Just purchased some prune juice to try and help me out!!
