Congrats Macca, absolutely amazing news! You must be so so happy.

Bluebell, I'm so sorry hun. It's just not fair. I hope you are ok and take time to get your head around it. Sending lots and lots of xxx

God girls I don't know what to say.
First of all, bluebell, I am absolutely gutted for you and just want to give you a big hug. Please look after yourself for the next few days and allow yourself time to adjust. I am thinking of you.

Macca, so happy for you. That must have been a long wait until 4pm! Congratulations. Here's to a very happy healthy nine months!!

Emotional times. Ttc is so bloody hard!

Congratulations macca., you must be so relieved.
Bluebell, I truly hope that your period has not arrived, have you tested yourself? As you may actually be pregnant bleeding in pregnancy can and does happen.... I am praying that it is good news for you........
Afm I have my first scan tomorrow, are you having a scan soon Sand?

 

[Bluebell bun]

Congratulations xxx

 

[sandoval_star]

Yeah Mandy, I have my first scan this morning. Hoping all looks ok. Good luck for yours x

 

[Minno]

Hi Sand, how did your scan go? Is it a baseline one?
I have mine on Monday to check lining after a week on Progynova and Cetrotide. If its 6mms they will start organising egg thaw...eeek!
I'm having it a little early - should be Wed - so may have to continue on the meds and they will check again later next week. We'll see.

 

[sandoval_star]

All went well, apparently my lining looks good and I have around 7 follicles that should be good to go by next week. Is 7 low, or is that considered normal? I have another scan on Monday with EC predicted for Wednesday. How did you get on Mandy? Good luck Minno, that's so exciting!

Hope you're ok Bluebell

 

[macca197831]

Minno, not long until Things really get going for you then - exciting times!

sand, 7 sounds good you will find you will probably have more by Monday!

One thing I would recommend is taking 6c of arnica 4 times per day starting the day before EC it helps with the healing process and gets you ready for transfer!

Bluebell, hope you are ok! Xxx

 

[Wallie]

Oh wow, a huge mixture of emotions going on in here.

Bluebell I'm so sorry that AF is appearing, I hate to say it but I hope it's just a blip and it doesn't come on fully. The clinic will probably still get you to do a blood test, they did with me and it was a faint positive. Unfortunately and upsetting for me I had to test again just to prove my numbers were falling. I hated that. Life is so, so cruel I just can't get my head around things.

Brave you too for staying on at work, it certainly wouldn't have been me. Anyway, take care.

And Macca, well done and congratulations! The hard bit is now over, getting that Sending you all the to keep them sticky!

 

[sandoval_star]

Thanks for the advice macca, where would I get arnica? x

 

[macca197831]

You get it in Holland & Barrett, I've used it every time I've had surgery and it speeds up the healing process. My accupuncture lady recommended it for during the IVF. X

 

[mandy1971]

Hi girls I had 2 follicles on each ovary., so Hoping.for more on Tuesday when I have my next scan,my lining was 8 mm... Good numbers sand...
Hope you are ok bluebell, its really shit if its not worked for you this time.. thinking of you... Be good to yourself xxxxxx

 

[sandoval_star]

Thanks for the tip Macca, I'll get myself down to Holland and Barrett on Monday!
Mandy that all sounds good, not long for us now! Think my egg collection is going to be on Wednesday.

 

[macca197831]

Mandy, Sand good luck for your scans next week looking forward to hearing how you get on!

Xxx

 

[Minno]

Last injection for me tonight girls. Still getting a bit of localised reaction but it does down after couple of hours. Just wondering it it working though as still getting a bit of ewcm as I would do around ov time? Scan tomoro and then we'll see if egg thaw is on or I have to carry on with meds a bit longer.

Bluebell how are you? I hope I are taking it easy.
Macca how are u feeling any pg symptoms yet?

Mandy, sand , good luck for this week girls xxx

 

[mandy1971]

I am also having ewcm....they don't tell you to use protection at the clinic do they before egg retrieval...? I am getting shooting pains in my bbs and I feel like crampy in the pelvic region like period type pain,don't remember it so much last time...

 

[sandoval_star]

I'm the same, ewcm and some af type pains now and again. Also have tender nipples too?! Good luck for your scan tomorrow Minno x

 

[Minno]

Phew that's a relief then. Must be the drugs. I was worried it wasn't working cos my stupid body does its own thing! Are you both using prostap to dr? I am on cetrotide but imagine the effects are the same.
Exciting week ahead for all of us x

 

[sandoval_star]

Using prostap, yeah. Definitely an exciting week but I'm starting to get so nervous about the outcome!! x

 

[Minno]

Me too. Can't seem to see it working no matter how hard I try. I think it's also the loss of hope if it doesn't work as at the moment at least we have a little bit of hope!
