ICSI/IVF buddy June 2014?

Hi jungleland,

Yes had my scan on Monday, and all is well. Little peanut had a heartbeat of 122, was measuring 6w3d when I was 6w5d but I'm assured all within normal limits. Now just passed 7 weeks, so very exciting. Haven't had any real morning sickness just a horrible taste in my mouth and sometimes feel alittle queasy but I'm starving all the time, I eat so much but don't put on any wieght at all!
I have a GP check up on Monday and won't have another scan till 12 weeks and then first mid-wife appointment is not till week 14.

good to hear you are feeling positive about your next cycle with some changes. It certainly makes you feel you have more control of an unpredicatable situation!!

Glad to hear you have lovely weather and are feeling relaxed. I start teaching uni students next week 100 students for the first time and feeling alittle overwhelmed not sleeping right! Hopefully, I will get into the swing of it and not feel so stressed out about it!!

Great news Pisces!
It's funny how every countries midwife practices vary. In my area of England we see midwife at about 7 weeks and scan at 12wks then midwife again at 15weeks to hear heartbeat with doppler and there's not much continuity, you can get a different midwife every time and a different set of midwives work in the hospitals delivering. So unless you have a homebirth you'll never recognise the midwife who delivers your baby
All the very best of luck with your teaching xxx

Hi t4b, thanks and I guess I didn't update here, both babies were doing great with heartbeats at 126. I had a scan Wednesday and Friday, and another scan this Wednesday. I'm getting so sick that it's been really hard to deal with and I'm praying it lets up so I can still function. Hope you are all well!

 

[Jungleland]

T4B I bet you're very excited about your holiday! Put your feet up, forget the diet for a week and enjoy it, you deserve it!
Hopefully AF will have vacated by the time you arrive

Lanet LOVE your profile pic!! Makes it so real xxxx

Hey all

Hope you are all well... On holidays in sunny Puerto Rico..

Af was 4 day's late and they finally arrived two Saturdays ago I've had AT FOR 10 DAYS now.. Getting worried tho.. On Friday evening (6days of period) was light and just gone.. Then.Saturday evenin it's like AF started all over again this time with clots, extremely bright red too.. I've got discomfort and tired too..
Any suggestions or anyone heard this happening? I'm due bak in my.Unit On day 21 for progesterone bloods.. I'll be calling first thing on Monday (only Home on Sunday night)

Would really help with any info xx

 

[Jungleland]

Oh no t4b, so sorry you're having to deal with all this whilst on holiday. I'm totally clueless as to what's causing your strange AF symptoms, have you had any bad cramps with it?
sorry my reply is late, it was my birthday yesterday so didnt get online at all. Is the bleeding still as bad today?

Thanks jungle

I rested in the room today and plan on resting til home. No.cramping.. Bleeding has eased now and clotting seems to have stopped. 12 days is such a long time to have AF. Mine a're normally 3-4 days long. I've taken pics for the doctors to see. There was a lot. Thankfully feeling better tho. It's the worry that gets me all afraid.

Happy belated birthday. Hope u had a great day ;-)

 

[Jungleland]

It's definitely a long time hun, I think anything over a week most people would consider unusual. I hope you get some answers. It's good that the bleeding is easing now. On the flipside, mine was unusually light last week, I wouldnt be surprised if I didn't ovulate at all. If it's not one thing that's worrying us it's the other! :S xxx

 

[Jungleland]

Hope you get on ok at clinic tomorrow hun xxx

Sorry for the late reply. Was busy after holidays and getting back to normal. Went to the clinic for Day 21 test. Mentioned what had happened to the nurse and she didn't seem to.think there was a problem. In my eyes there is, but she didn't have my file so basically she should have checked before making any opinion. I've cancelled this months cycle and going to.see how I feel and how this cycle goes. Die them on Sat/sun, haven't had a break at all...
Not going to rush in when I feel theres something wrong.. So looks like itll be Sept/Oct now.

 

[Jungleland]

That's a very brave decision hun. I'd be tempted to plough on but giving your body time to settle down into normal can only be a good thing, and selfishly for me, it'll mean we'll be having treatment around the same time together again
Just back from a week in london on a course which was amazing, me and my colleague ate/drank out every night and I know I need to start thinking about detoxing leading up to Oct! Xxxx

It was the best decision cause I'd never forgive myself if I went ahead and had a failed cycle. I'd of only blamed it on not waiting.. we'll have to synchronise cycles lol

How lovely enjoying foods & drinks, you always need to enjoy life and try to.stay stress free.. What better way with been away for a few days. Think I'll need a detox to.. I need to get back into a routine, haven't been since back from hols...
Back fresh next week. Starting a new job Monday and have College starting mid September so lots of changes.. ;-)

 

[Jungleland]

Oo new job, very exciting! Good luck! Just noticed lanets new profile pic! xxx

Hey jungle

Lots of news.. decided not to get the endometrial scratch because of the heavy bleeds and clots so made a quick decision to start.. was a couple of days late this month so I called and arranged to go ahead.. the nurse called back just to make sure as I was so adamant before.
had day 21 blood's last month and it was a lowsy 2 so was put on fematabs - 4 each night, only symptoms is back pain but liveable.. so unfortunately it's a medicated cycle ... day 14 today and had a scan - nurse called doctor in to double check as she asked if I ever had surgery on the lining WEIRD -mentioned the previous polyp and she said that's it .... got the go ahead that all ok.. lining is 9.45 they said happy with that and it's a comfortable size for baby.. I've to continue on fematabs and wait for call to start crinone gels ... could be Friday transfer or early nxt wk and they are using my day 5 blasto so can't wait

You starting soon? / xxx

 

[Jungleland]

Ahhh great to hear from you t4b, you've had a lot going on haven't you! Bet it feels great to be getting going again, putting up with the back pain etc is a small price to pay if it gets you your hey?! Fingers crossed for you hun, always here to lend an ear if you wanna chat it through, particularly the exhausting symptom spotting PUPO stage. What they said about your lining was weird but rest assured they wouldn't go ahead if they weren't sure it was the right thickness etc and if it's lumpy bumpy from the polyp removal/previous scratch then I'd say there was all the more nooks and crannies for embie to settle into for 9months
Our endo scratch is coming out at 14th oct followed by day 1 of icsi cycle on 22nd oct but it all could change if AF is late, i'm due on 24th next week xxxx

 

[Jungleland]

Are you transferring today hun? Thinking about you xxxxxx

Hey hunni,
I had no access to the forum my phone was logging in and couldn't send msgs. The hubby surprised me with a new phone and coat the other day.
I was very sick on friday, thought we had to cancel, terrible back pain too, however yesterday we transferred a Day 6 blastocyst, got overwhelmed and had some tears of happiness, obviously lol...
This experience feels very different, more that wer prepared for both outcomes. Today is classed as day 1 so testing is October 8th which is day 16. I've to keep taking my 4 fematabs each night along with crinone gel twice daily, so its just a waiting game now xx

How exciting you have ur endo scratch soon, have they advised on what meds yet?? Xx hope u are well hunni Xxx

 

[Jungleland]

Ahh my fingers are crossed for you and your blast. Sending lots of implantation vibes your way

AF is due tomorrow so will be ringing up and confirming dates tomorrow all being well.

I've got an appointment (bloods and formal booking in) on 1st Oct. Then scratch approx 14th Oct I think. Then on my actual cycle I'll likely be on the same meds as last time- antagonist protocol - 200gonal F, cetrotide and trigger 36hrs before collection but they'll decide for sure on day2 after scan and bloods.

Eak time is flying!

I so hope that this is your month hun, will be praying for you and your embie xxxx
