pussycat- Sorry for how rough things are going.

How is everyone else doing?

Im doing good, AF showed up on its own, but very light and the odd cramps. Not like my usual, I guess that is normal after mc.

I start my BCP again now, then onto my usual drugs. IVF FET 1 Blast sometime in July.

 

[Pussycat1]

Thanks SKP, glad things have taken there course for you and I hope you can move forward hopefully and positively for your FET. You'll be a month behind me, I'm probably looking at 30th May for transfer (which means I have to sort something out with work for month end as I'll need to fly 29th, but this is do much more important than work!).
2have, thank you for your kind words. Angus is much better, looked a sight when he came home, shaved and bloody, not pretty. However cats and their amazing healing powers, he's now just got a bit of a wound where the drained the abscess and goes back today for a check up. SIL had breast cancer last year, given the all clear in Oct and by Dec it was in her lungs and bones, 3 weeks ago they told her she it was in her brain and the chemo was no longer working. She's had radiotherapy and is now seeing a private specialist (not covered by insurance or NHS) to have immunotherapy, it's all a bit experimental but it's her only chance and realistically it only extends her life, doesn't save it. She's so positive and in between treatment going on holiday etc she's only 47 .... Tragic. Anyway we're trying to stay positive and make the most of the time we have. xx

PC, I am so sorry for your SIL . So will you be flying the same day as your transfer or would be staying in CR for few days.

 

[Pussycat1]

Thanks Coolstar. Fly 29th FET 30th, haven't decided if I'll come back 31st or 30th yet or if DH will come.
How did yours an go? Meant to say good luck into earlier post. x

 

[SKP]

Transfer day for me is tentively July 6th, it was June 29th, but had to be pushed a week. It all depends on when af arrives again.

BCP started on May 13th cd 5.

Hopefully AF starts around cd 30-35. I usually have 5 days of af, but today makes 6 days. So I may be pushed by a day or 2.

I do start suprafact on May 26th. cd 18.

The worst thing is trying to book an ultrasound. Booking them in the clinic is no problem, but I would have to stay in there city for 5 days before transfer. Transfer is 5 days after the US.

But I don't want to spend 5 days just for the sake of a 2 hour thing. So booking it in my city is challenging. Sometimes it takes up to 3 months for US, it all depends how busy it is.

So really hoping I can get it done in my city and not spend 4 unnecessary days. And I may be doing all this for nothing, meaning that I don't know if the egg is viable until I go to their clinic for the transfer. So spending 5 extra days can be devastating, its already bad enough if its not viable even if we were there for for a day.

The reason why I have to wait 5 days b/w US and transfer is because the blast is 5 days, So my lining needs to have the 5 days worth of meds before transfer.

 

[Coolstar]

PC, I asked you that because my Doc was very particular for at least 24hrs bed rest. If possible even I feel so.
SKP, hopefully you get the U/S booking in your city. FXed for you.
2have, MrsG how are you ladies doing ?
AFM, my U/S went well. We did found the heartbeat , it was amazing . I am much relaxed now , was really worried about it.

 

[Pussycat1]

Coolstar, so pleased for you! I'm glad you can rest a little easier. The clinic have said that I can travel on the day of transfer but I am thinking I'll probably stay Sat night too and chill out. x

 

[2have4kids]

Costar that's fabulous news. Pc all thebest with the bookings!
Skp, now that the NDP are in AB will see more investment in healthcare. You shouldn't need to wait that long for a local u/s. My doc slways hooked me up before our European ivf's with very little notice, I'n guessing the small towns need more resources.
Mrs G & dmama how are you ladies? And the mom's? Butterfly, garnet, crystal everyone else...how's your spring shaping up?

 

[Mrs G]

Hi everyone

PC, I am so sorry to hear about your SIL. She sounds a very positive and inspirational woman. And I hope your cat is on the mend. So glad you're looking forward to the next cycle, I felt so much better when I had s plan of action! I was recommended 24 hrs bed rest and another 24hrs of chill out. That was after blast transfer as the Dr said by 48 hrs after et it would've implanted. Keeping everything crossed for you.

SKP, whst a nightmare with your scan. Nothing's ever made easy is it? Hope you get it sorted and can start looking forward to your cycle.

Cool star. So excited you saw the hb!! And I love your ticker. How are you feeling? Hope you're starting to enjoy it a little now.

2have, how's that bump?!

Big waves to everyone I've missed and happy wknd.

Afm, 18w and starting to feel baby now. Still a little nervous, use my Doppler most days to check on him! Big debate on names, really struggling with boys names.

Happy weekend everyone.
Xx

 

[Coolstar]

Thanks MrsG, I feel much better now. And it's lovely seeing the ticker and knowing how much the baby is growing. Can u feel the baby moving now ? What is Doppler ? When is your due date ?
AFM I do feel crampy sometime, is it normal.

 

[doshima]

Wow, it's been ages I came here. Had a lot on my plate.

2have, I can barely believe my eyes. Am soooo excited for you. Finally.

Hi everyone, just checking in to see how the beautiful ladies are doing and to keep spreading some baby dust. Sorry I did not read from my last read so I know I must hv missed a lot but am wishing everyone here the very best. Hugs and kisses

 

[Mrs G]

Thanks MrsG, I feel much better now. And it's lovely seeing the ticker and knowing how much the baby is growing. Can u feel the baby moving now ? What is Doppler ? When is your due date ?

Yes I had cramping but its just your uterus stretching for baby. I can feel him move every now and then, it's getting stronger and more regular. A Doppler is a handheld heartbeat monitor. I got mine on eBay for about £40. At first it was really tricky to find the hb but I've been hearing his hb on it from about 14w. Im due 16th oct. Xx

 

[Butterfly67]

2have, all good thanks. a has just started to crawl so I think a bit longer for walking.

PC can't remember if I said so sorry about your SIL so sad.

Dosh hi

 

[SKP]

Hey Everyone

I was able to have my ultrasound locally this time for June 29th

And implant day July 6th, if eggie unthaws.

 

[Coolstar]

Skp, good that you got u/s booking in your town.
PC, how are you ? Not much time left for your transfer. Keep us posted.
2have, MrsG, how are you ladies ? 2have when is your due date ?

 

[2have4kids]

Coolstar nice ticker! Is your next scan at your 12 week Nauchal translucency test then?
BF it's only a matter of time now before your wee sprog will be into everything! Enjoy this time that they're just learning. And have your running shoes on standby.
PC have you sorted your dates then for the end of the month? How's the regiment going?
SKP best of luck with thawing the embie, fx for June 6th.
And everyone else? What's everyone up to?
Dosh it was so nice to hear from you, how's it going then? Any fun birth/baby stories to tell?
AFM, just had another midwife appt today, I'm just struggling a little with shortness of breath and low blood pressure but still working out and eating healthy to try to combat this. My pilates class is getting harder and harder the balance is off when doing lying down sit ups, feet come off the ground (not looking very elegant anymore) with the increase of boob & belly size, more weight up top makes for a much more challenging class!

Hi ladies long time since I've been on but have been busy with the girls Just wanted to see who was where. 2have I still smile when I think of you, how bloody exciting after all that time hey? So amazing! Those that are pregnant hang in there it gets worse before it gets better and by better I mean bubs being born those still trying hang in there it's a tough road but one worth taking. Going to read back a bit and see where everyone is exactly

 

[Pussycat1]

Hey Ladies!
Crystal / Butterfly great to hear from you, you must have your hands full!
SKP, glad you got your scN sorted, it always seems unduly stressful for a straightforward procedure.
MrsG / Coolstar / 2have how are you lovely preggers ladies feeling?
Dosh, good to hear from you.
AFM, just had my Intralipd infusion today, all fine. Scan tomorrow, got everything crossed for 7mm lining. Ironically when I was havingy infusion there was a guy in the seat next to me who had virtual no NKC and was having an infusion to boost his, if only we could have swapped. That said I do think my immune system is suppressed, I had a cough before I started on the prednisone and I just can't shift it, which really isn't like me. Also feel my eyes sore and tired like I have a sty coming (I get them when I'm run down). So hopefully the higher dose 25mg will do the trick. I was worried about getting time off work next Friday as month end is tricky for me, but my boss has been so nice even though he hadn't a clue what I'm being treated for! xx

 

[Coolstar]

PC, yayyyy for your infusion and prednisone. How did your scan go ?

 

[Pussycat1]

PC, yayyyy for your infusion and prednisone. How did your scan go ?
