Anyone starting IVF cycle in April/May?

[mowat]

Tired? THat's sounds good to me Yearning! So hoping for you.

I love the thought of your big bag of meds under your desk Lizzie! So exciting. I had to fly with mine, and the looks I got from some of the airport staff were hilarious.

Unexpectedly got a call from my clinic this morning as I was sitting at a restaurant at the airport on my way home. Had my retrieval on Monday and wasn't expecting to hear from them until tomorrow. Still have 17 growing away! Dunno, but this sounds pretty good to me. Should I expect the numbers to go down somewhat? She said they'd call and update me on Saturday and Sunday. If they manage to freeze 17 they might not all thaw properly, yes? I'm so happy because I was checking our bills last night. Credit line is maxed and we've now got a pretty big balance to carry on our visa too. All I need is one little baby to make this all worth it. Come on and speed up time----I can't wait until the end of July and my transfer!

Yearning I've been off since my egg collection day and haven't decided when ill be going back yet, maybe after my scan if all goes well, when are you back to work?

Those numbers are fantastic mowat, they are trying to get your embryos to blastocyst stage, you might lose some, not all embryos go to this stage but let's hope yours all do.xx I had 4 embryos & 3 made it to blast stage, so I have 2 frozen and baby on board x

 

[YearningHeart]

Mowat - haha I can imagine people giving the look. That's great news, can't wait for July for you. I can't believe how much you have to travel for the clinic, I really hope all of this is worth it and you see a beautiful BFP. X

Jackdoll - I took about 3 weeks off work after the embryo transfer, I can't take more because there is quite a bit to do. I am looking forward to going back to work, I always get a lovely welcoming when I go back after a gap not that anyone knows why I took time off. I will be bored like mad if I don't go to work, it makes the day go fast. Plus I won't be at work for long because summer holidays is around the corner so I will have the summer to just relax and chill.

 

[JACKDOLL]

Yearning I'm guessing your a teacher and spoiled with lots of holidays... I'm bored too in the house but I get special leave so I'm just taking it, wish this sciatica would go away and I could give my house a good spring clean...

Are you still not tempted to test... You would diffently get the correct result at this stage x

 

[YearningHeart]

Jackdoll - I'm surprised I'm not too eager to test, I really believe this is the one. I just feel it at the same time to be honest I am little scared to test, this was I believe I'm pregnant so living in that bubble, I want a confirmation of bfn until Monday. Lol
Yeah I am a teacher and looking forwarded to seeing my students. Work life does make my days go fast. I had a nice get together today which was nice but all this fun fun will end soon and when I go home I know I will be bored so I need to go back to work.
I just want Monday to come fast, I keep looking at my calendar. I'm feeling so sick right now and just my bottom in one place. X

 

[JACKDOLL]

Really hope it's good news yearning, Ill only be a week a head off you..x
My sister lives next door to me & off on maternity leave, my mum lives in the same housing development as us and so does my other sister so they are in & out all day and I don't really get time to be bored with 4 cute nephews running about. I've worked for so long and I'm just enjoying this time off and will decide after my scan when ill go back.
Hurry up Monday. Imagine you could be having twins, how exciting. Xx

 

[YearningHeart]

Wow that sounds nice, all of you so close.. Yeah when there are kids time does pass. It's quite now here, just my mum and 2 siblings of mine. I do miss my home and looking forward to going back but I'm just worried about food, I just can't eat anything other than certain food which my mum makes. I don't think I can cook anything, I am speaking and acting as though I am pregnant. Lol
Yeah I would love twins, my dream is to have twins but I want twins without any complication and a smooth pregnancy.

So how is your pregnancy going? Do you feel fine and normal and able to do anything and everything?

 

[JACKDOLL]

I feel ok. I had bad cramps & tummy pains but that's now gone, I just have sciatica and if that went away id be ok I think, I'm ok with all foods etc, Just don't really have a big appetite but don't feel sick at the thought of food if you know what I mean, I've read morning sickness etc kicks in from 6-7 weeks that's if I even get it. Slightly tired but not extremely tired. Oh and my boobs are massive and sore.. I had one blast put back in so more than likely a singleton although I keep thinking I got a very clear line 5dp which I think is pretty early! Did you watch the program on the other night about quads? The girl got 2 blasts and both split & she has 2 sets of identical twins... I keep wondering if mine has split, either way ill be happy.. We are all so close to my mum & were very lucky they built more houses and got in beside her

 

[lizzie78]

Oh no! I've just read your comments and am really panicking now. The cool box was in a massive box which I didn't dare to open in the office. Healthcare at home (the drug company) said not to worry about them being delivered at work because they were in a cool box so I left them in there from delivery at about 11 until 8 tonight when I got home! It's my trigger shot so now I'm really worried. The boxes felt cold still and all the ice packs surrounding them were still frozen so I think I'm probably ok?? It said it had to be at between 2 and 8 degrees.

Eek yearningheart, your so going to get your bfp and it'll be twins!!

Lizzie, glad you have your meds ok
,good luck in starting them

Mowat, hope to hear more good news on lots of ffrosties tomoro, hope your feeling ok?

Jackdoll, how are your symptoms?

Twinkle, did you say your review was tomoro?

 

[JACKDOLL]

Lizzie I would say it would be fine with the cool packs ect, don't worry and if you have any concerns bring it up at your appointment /scans chic..

 

[star25]

Didnt see the last few posts when I posted, sorry!

 

[mowat]

How are you feeling today Yearning?

 

[lizzie78]

Twinkle - how was your review?

Yearning heart - hope you are still feeling ok

AFM teaching session went ok just need to put it into practice later tonight!

 

[YearningHeart]

Lizzie - let us know how the injection goes today. Will you be doing it or someone else?

Hope everyone is well. I went to see the gp today for this heartburn/chest pressure feeling. It is extremely bad in the morning,vi can't get out of bed. I have to get up very slowly, it's horrible. Anyways the gp said she can not proscribe me anything due to IVF and I should just continue with gaviscon and if it doesn't get better then I should just go A&E.
I still feel really bad, it's not getting better, it's just getting worse.. Maybe it could be he meds I don't know. So tomorrow I'm going to go to the A&E on the morning unless I feel better

 

[star25]

Sounds horrid yearningheart, hoping it's just a
Big pregnancy symptom that will ease up soon, let us
Know how you get on tomoro x

 

[lizzie78]

Yearning heart - that sounds horrible. Have you called the nurses at your treatment centre?

X

 

[YearningHeart]

Yeah I did call the clinic at the fertility centre, the nurse asked me few questions then said, I don't think it's OHSS it's probably just indigestion.. But I don't understand why indigestion would last for this long or go worse, plus I'm eating good and taking gaviscon. I get the feeling it is OHSS but tomorrow I am going in to the hospital (the same one where I did the IVF treatment so the gyn are around)
I'm just so dreading going to sleep because it's a killer in the morning when getting out of bed.

[YearningHeart]

Sorry I'm going on about myself. How are you all? Lizzie how was the injection?

Hope everyone is well. Xx

 

[star25]

Ahh dont say that were here to listen, Would it help if you propped yourself up in bed a bit? X
