35 and over and ltttc for baby #2 for over 2.5yrs!

[WhiteOrchid24]

So quick update from me... they froze 4 high quality embryos yesterday on day 3 and are keeping an eye on another 2 to see how they are by tomorrow on day 5. Anyway for now we wait.... I'm trying to just chill and keep relaxed and forget about things but it's kind of hard, although I have enjoyed a few glasses of wine which has been lovely!! I'm feeling good. I've had a few twinges of period pain/cramps in my back but other than that great! The bloating and pain is almost gone. Now I just wait for my period to start and go from there...

 

[tommyg]

Fingers crossed for you and them.

I'm on hold (again) got a cyst that hasn't gone down. So they won't give me the iui drugs. Hopefully it should go for next month.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Grrr Tommy!!! How frustrating!! I'm so sorry....here's hoping it goes asap and you can get to it next month but right now I know you're probably fed up.... Sending big hugs

 

[Braven05]

Sorry you've got to wait another month Tommy, that really stinks. Even just a month can feel like a lifetime. Hope next month works out better for you. Hugs.

 

[Cookie1979]

Oh I'm really sorry tommy, that must be hugely frustrating. Maybe a small break will do you some good. Xx

 

[tommyg]

Orchard when is AF due? I hope you are feeling ok and avoiding OHSS.

Braven how are you doing with the weight loss? Any thoughts on trying another clinic?

Cookie is all going ok?

AFM thinking positive another month is nothing. Gives me some time to work on loosing some weight that seems to have crept up. Got DS going on his balance bike so I can now go for a walk at a decent pace too.

 

[Cookie1979]

Good attitude Tommy, best to try and be positive about it. x

I'm all good thank you, just wishing the weeks away as it's still so early and I'm really nervous about it. Just hope everything is ok. So far so good, boobs are mega tender, and even started having abit of nausea yesterday, mild but keeps happening when I'm hungry which seems to be alot. I want to get an early scan, there's a place not too far from us that charges £75, so thinking about it. We're off on holiday from the 6th for a week, when we get back I'll be 8 weeks, thinking about having the scan then.

xx

 

[tommyg]

Good Morning from a sunny Scotland. Given Cookies success I decided to give reflexology a go OMG it was so sore. She convinces me that I have lots of tension and 6 goes will help!!!
I have nothing to loose have I?

 

[Cookie1979]

From what I gather, pain means it's a problem area so you could really benefit from it. I found it hurt abit my first session but after that felt no pain. She said that I relaxed quickly, saw a real difference between first and second session. Good luck with it I hope it helps xx

 

[Srbjbex]

Great attitude Tommy. Interesting on the reflexology. ..it will be interesting to hear how the second session does go!

Cookie - completely understand your nerves but symptoms like nausea are good as it shows your hormone doubling

Orchid - i think you've coped so well with everything up to now! And what great numbers you got! I really hope you're feeling well...and before you know it you'll be back in for ET

Afm...well AF arrived and contacted my consultant so just waiting for him to book me in fir a trial ET to see if ivf is even possible. Oh and we had our icsi chat at he clinic too so we are all consented up etc ready to get cracking whenever we get the go ahead from the consultant. Just desperate to get a date!

 

[tommyg]

Bex good to hear that you are moving forward too.

Wish how are you doing?

Orchard when is AF due? When do you expect the frosties to be transferred in?

Braven how are things with you?

Cookie I'm not sure if I would want to go for a private scan or not.

I hope I haven't missed anyone. It's exciting times on this thread.

AFM feet still recovering from reflexology. Honestly anything has to be worth a go. I have one IUI left then I'll be trying IVF. Its crazy on one hand the local health board is saying they want to cut fertility funding and on the other at government level they want to increase it.

 

[momwithbabies]

I had to Google reflexology, lol. I'm out of touch with natural remedies and the sort. I hope it helps you, ladies. I agree. This is an exciting time on this thread! I'm anxiously awaiting more BFP's from you ladies. Keeping everything crossed for you!!!

AFM: I finally got my period back this Friday. It took almost 6 weeks, but I'm glad she's here. Not feeling my best, as I'm bleeding pretty heavy with lots of cramping. My heating pad is my best friend. And my son's 10th birthday party is today! Where does the time go?

 

[Srbjbex]

mwb - hooray for AF!! (not often we say that on here) thinking back, 6 weeks isn't so long really when you consider what your body has been through but I know it feels like eternity at the time! Have you stopped bleeding now?

In my news... I literally just found out that I'm booked in for my trial embryo transfer tomorrow morning! It's a big moment as we will discover whether we can do IVF or whether its more surgery for me...i'm keeping my fingers crossed but based on how this journey has gone so far then I'm not holding out much hope for good news. I would love it so much if they said we could go ahead with IVF (as we could almost start straight away) but I just feel that that is not the journey for us and not the way it will go

 

[Cookie1979]

Bex - Oh I hope IVF can go ahead, you never know. I think sometimes its easier to think the worst, or at least you think it is, then you think you will deal with the disappointment better. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Tommy - have your feet recovered from reflexology? How are you doing?

mwb - Glad your af has arrived, obviously took your body a little longer to sort itself out. You've been through a really tough time. I hope you are coping abit better now.

Orchid - how are you doing?

AFM - I'm ok, almost 6 weeks now...gosh time is going slowly. Not much going on symptom wise, boobs are still very tender and feel a little nausious at times, but not enough to stop me eating, infact I'm hungry all the time. The hunger is ridiculous! Still feel worried, yesterday was feeling alright, quite confident etc, but now I'm feeling anxious and like it's all too good to be true. Go on holiday in just over a week, hopefully it will take my mind off it. Will be 8 weeks when we get back, so will slowly be getting there.

xx

 

[Srbjbex]

It was a big fat fail 😢 there was no way through. I will require surgery to correct before i go anywhere near ivf**

 

[eyemom]

Oh bex, so sorry.

 

[Cookie1979]

Oh no so sorry Bex. Have you any idea when surgery can go ahead? xx

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that Bex..... I was so hoping for some happy news from you Are you ok? Big hugs

 

[tommyg]

Hugs Bex that is rotten news. When can you get the op?

 

[momwithbabies]

I'm so sorry, Bex. I know you were hoping otherwise.

Bleeding still but not cramping. Ready to move forward in this journey even if it means no more babies.
