Just rang and got booked in for next Wednesday. Feels good to be getting things arranged. Did yours ask you to do a poas to confirm your bfp with them or did gcrm just send details over?

 

[macca197831]

hi Minno, they didnt ask me for anything they just registered me - no questions asked. I wasnt expecting that. They might give you a sample bottle away and ask you to hand it back in after your appointment.

I know how you feel the wait between finding out and the actual scan feels like a lifetime!! xx

 

[Minno]

Just freaked myself out! Took another frer hpt and test line came up immediately, even before I put the cap back on and laid it down, and super dark, but control line much lighter. Last time I tested a few days ago both lines were the same strength. Just googled and it seems it means hcg is very high and couple be sign of multiples! Eeekk!

 

[subaru555]

Minno - Sounds very promising for you that there may be multiples in there with the line coming up first and so dark.

Wallie - I remember you from when we were ttc 1st time round, I think we may have been in a an LTTTC thread together at some point? Don't give up, there's still hope x

Macca - twins for you too - you must be completely in awe, that's amazing

 

[Wallie]

Thanks Subaru and yes of course I remember you and your miraculous BFP just before you wed.

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

I'm so sorry Wallie, I hope its not serious and you get your miracle. so many people say its common to bleed at the start so I'm hoping that its just that

Still no AF for me Although today I'm starving, cramping, eaten a Bounty and a Twirl and if someone so much as brushes past my boobs I'm gonna poke them in the eye! So she's coming! My only real worry is the the timing as I've got a feeling it will be abandoned as the GCRM is closed at Christmas

Just thinking of the DH's going downstairs. My DH was there and so was someone else, he said you just don't make eye contact as you both know why you're there

 

[Minno]

Foxy, I hadn't fully read your sig before. Sorry for your loss. I hate to ask but was your m/c like a heavy period? I have a fear about it in case things don't stick for me . X

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Yes, but my numbers were low very quickly. I got my positive on a digi on day I was due (thread was on here funnily enough) (took several that day all positive), then 2 days later I pee'd on another stick just to see the words again and it said not pregnant. So I went to A&E and said I was cramping, they took bloods and said it was below 20, he said there was something there, but there's not now, go home and wait to bleed basically, I bled 2 days after that-was just like a normal period, but it took 6 weeks before I had another period. I think digi's are a 25miu, so I can't have been much above it.

If you're still worried, hun, go and ask for another HCG test. Just hearing those numbers double should give you peace of mind

 

[Minno]

Thanks foxy. Hcg already climbed from 71 to 795 in the space of four days so the clinic were happy with that. It's just this darn spotting driving me loopy!

 

[subaru555]

wow minno that's very promising, I wouldn't worry yourself x

Foxy - sorry for your loss before, everything crossed for you too x

Could you girls tell me if your samples were all on the day you went in or if you brought it in? I emailed this morning and it passed to lab to get back to me. As far as I'm aware it's left for 30 minutes before it's washed.

By the way we are only convinced its iui due to the fact we have one but it will all depend on numbers we get back either tomorrow or monday! I feel sick thinking about it. Then I feel like I'm being selfish considering what you guys are all going through. This sample thing is driving me mad when I think about it. I really feel so strongly about it. I don't see why it would be a problem if I was there I just feel like you should be at every stage especially when you are paying for it you should have the choice. Can you girls give me any insight? Would be really much appreciated, you've no idea xx

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Still no AF-I'm getting really worried now that I'll have to abandon until after Christmas cos they're closed. My bloods and scan said on Wednesday that it would be in a day or two-and nothing

Sorry subaru555 Are you talking about the analysis or for the IUI?

 

[sandoval_star]

Im sorry foxy, hopefully af will get a move on so you can get started. The waiting is the worst part, hopefully you won't need to wait until after xmas. What's the latest date they can start your treatment? x

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Never been so happy to see the

Literally squealed in the cubicle! Phoned them straight away, Prostap tomorrow morning, start Gonal-F on the 26th

 

[sandoval_star]

yay for af!!!!!!!!

 

[Minno]

Fantastic Foxy! Lets get this party started...... Xxx

 

[subaru555]

That's great news Minno That's like Christmas come early for you!

An Embryologist phoned me back this afternoon to answer questions and was so helpful and had such a gentle calming attitude, which really helped.

She said that they have no issues whatsoever with DH and I being together to obtain the sample downstairs which will be used for the iui and that DH will also be present for the transfer, whether it's iui or ivf. She said she "thought that it was fantastic" that we wanted to do it all together and that it was only natural, so I feel a lot more spurred on about it now!

I'm so over the moon, I've been losing sleep worrying about it.

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

That's the Prostap done. Gonal-f in the fridge.

 

[sandoval_star]

Woohoo
It will go so fast now x

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Did any of you find this period more painful?

 

[Minno]

Ladies unfortunately it doesn't look good for me. Had a very heavy bleed yesterday with lots of big clots. No pain, but there's no way anything could have survived it. Have an appt tomoro for recheck of bloods but I think that's it.
Will likely take some time away from the forums now to try to get some normality back but I wish you all well with your journeys xxx
