Anyone starting IVF cycle in April/May?

[YearningHeart]

Sorry ladies for those loooooong post, because I cant come so often so there is so much to say when I do. haha xx

I wonder what stage we will all be at in couple of months. One of the first thread I joined when came to baby and bump.. There were good few ladies in that specific thread who were going through IVF, or waiting for IVF etc. I was little behind them as I just started with my IVF appointments etc. Its been nearly 2 years and most of those ladies got pregnant, had babies and few are still pregnant. Its so nice because I still remember them talking about their struggles and tears and heartbreaks but now they are mums. I hope in next few months we are all at that stage. xx

What a lovely idea

Well i rang the clinic about the bleeding & the woman didn't really have any answers for me but she did say to do another test just incase & if that comes back negative then i just need to wait until my next period & hope it sorts itself out. Typical i have to be the one with the weird problems lol

Lol I know yearninghearte cant believe it's less than a week away now
!
Glad to hear your well apart from the heartburn but hopefully that will ease soon
I cant wait to see where we all are in the next few months or a yr or so, hoping we will all either be pregnant or mums!

Emz I sometimes think the answers we get for fertility questions sound like they come from our IT support department but instead of "have you turned it off an back on again" we get "wait and then do another test"! Hope your body settles down soon so that you can get on with your next steps.

 

[YearningHeart]

Emz - lol! Hey let me tell you something.. I sometimes think why do I have to be the odd one with everything so complicated. I think we all feel like that because our body works just so differently, don't stress on it too much. I hope it all settles.

Emz, hopefully to make u feel a bit better, AF is on her way for me quite early. I've had brown discharge (sorry tmi!) yesterday and today, from day 24 of my cycle-normally wouldn't be starting this sort of gunk til tomoro probably. I've worked it out tho that AF would've been here if last month was a normal cycle- ie. ivf cycle added a few days onto the last one. Hope that makes sense!! I'm absolutely starving this month aswell, can't fill my face enough!!!

Lizzie, you are so right with the IT department comment. Some things will always just be unexplained.

Getting excited for you Star!

 

[lizzie78]

Hey Star what day this week is your appointment hon?

 

[star25]

Hi ladies, it's Wednesday this week, eeek cannot wait!
How are you all?
Hows the injections going lizzie?

 

[lizzie78]

Wow, exciting times star

Injections are fine, I'm a moody baggage today and swollen all over thanks to the side effects but that's ok, it will all be worth it in the end xxx

 

[mowat]

It will totally be worth it Lizzie!

 

[mowat]

So excited AF has actually lasted more than 24 hours! Feels so much more normal. Counting down until the next one.

 

[lizzie78]

That's great mowat, I'm sure it's going to be here before you know it

 

[star25]

It's funny when we're pleased to see af but good news mowat!

 

[star25]

Yearningheart how are you? When is your first scan?

 

[emz1200]

Well I did the test & of course it was negative but at least now I know that it's just my body trying to get over everything.

Lizzie - I love the IT department ref that did make me chuckle, maybe I should try turning myself off & on again lol.

Well touch wood the bleeding seems to have stopped today so fingers crossed that's it until AF arrives which hopefully won't be too long away.
I'm keeping busy trying to find somewhere for us to go on holiday in September before we have our second try so we can just relax & chill so at least I have that to keep my mind occupied

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

 

[lizzie78]

Emz - Holiday shopping sounds like a good idea and something nice to think about whilst your body settles back down

Star - Just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow, not that you will need it! Let us know how you get on.

Hi girls,
Emz, glad the bleeding has stopped, hope u find a great holiday, have u got anywhere in particular u want to go?
Lizzie, good luck tomoro xo

Afm, AF arrived on Sunday, can't believe its 4 weeks already since our cycle failed. Where does the time go! I'm just keeping myself busy while DH is away with work.

Hope everyone is well xoxo

 

[YearningHeart]

Star - hi, I thought I will come and say good luck for tomorrow!! Your appointment has finally come, I can't believe it actually how fast time went! Seriously I remember you saying you had forever and it was like weeks away but now it's here
Update us, looking forward to reading it. My scan is on the 1st July, iv got exact 2 weeks left but I'm so busy with things time is passing pretty quick

Lizzie - hey how are you, how's the injections going? Your 2 weeks of injection is in 3 days right? What's the next step? Hope all is going well

Emz - a holiday sounds great! And like Lizzie said, it's a great way to take the mind off while the body tries to settle. This break is good trust me, after my first IVF fail I was so upset I had to wait 6 months before second cycle but now when I look back I think it was a good thing, otherwise it would of been too much for the body. Our poor body goes through torture with all these IVF meds. Lol

Twinkle - yeah time sure does fly.. And I'm telling you when u start second round of IVF your gonna think that was quick. Enjoy this break and make the most of it.

Mowat - haha it's nice your happy for AF, it can be either pleasing or annoying. I remember I got so happy when my came last year like a normal period (I hardly ever have a normal period)

Jackdoll - hope you are doing well.

Iv been back at work so back to my busy life, I'm finding it a little tough mind you, my neausea feeling is coming and going and I'm having to snack on food in between breaks, but I look forward to summer holidays. Anyways hope you are all well. Xxx
