[Minno]

I'm good thanks. Looking forward to getting started in couple weeks time. No appt in post for scan as yet. Have you had anything V?
How are you both ? Xx

 

[H4M]

Phone them if you don't hear this week, hate the waiting eh, everything's same for me so far, just waiting this week to start p and then phone to see what's happening , hopefully not loads of waiting 😔 x

Hi I'm just back from a long weekend & no appointment yet! I think it will probably be sent out w/c 9th Dec, it would be good to know now as a few girls have booked time off for xmas shopping!! I may have to pull a sickie...
While I was away I had my tarot cards done the lady was quiet good & my future card is I have one baby on it's way I nearly burst out crying. So fingers crossed this lady is correct!

I'm wishing the days away at the moment just want to get on with treatment. xx

 

[H4M]

Hope you had a great weekend v2r, I hate waiting, was annoyed as started p today and I couldn't ph as at work and not v private there so husband phoned and was told would get a call bk... Waited and phoned bk this afternoon to be told she was in a meeting till 4.30, so he phoned back at 4.50 to be told she won't have got message yet and a letter would be sent out !!!!! Well I was raging to say the least! He wasn't 100% sure! He did say I was told to phone back when p started to get a scan and she said no that will be baseline scan in two weeks!! Ahh So I shall be phoning back first thing in the morning to see if can start treatment as my treatment plan says ph on day 1-3 and prob get scan on day 3 and start inj day 5? Argh!! Another setback! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

V2r hope the woman was right for you! I went to a woman a few months ago and she told me I will be excited at Christmas time and it won't be to do with Christmas will be to do with a baby but if doesn't happen then not to be saddened by it it will happen soon after.... Weird! I'm going back to her next week for another reading to see if anything comes up 😊 xx

 

[Minno]

So much waiting and so much confusion. I find it very frustrating when I can't get a clear direction from the clinic. V, I also think appt will be sent out next week or week after but would be good to know eh so that we can get organised with work and Xmas coming up etc. I'll let u know soon as I hear anything - we should get our scan appts sent out same time you'd think?
H, that is so annoying! You need a clear plan from the clinic. Drives me mad! I know it's nhs but come on!! I hope you get some answers tomoro, let us know how it goes.
Hope the tarot cards and readings are right...that would be amazing and we could put all this endless waiting and stress behind us.
Xxx

Hey, phoned this morning couldn't get through to ward so phoned Anne, explained about yesterday and she said that I'm on short protocol so they shouldn't have said about letter, she transferred me through and to start with they said about how I was to phone in December period (which my letter did say) I explained that would fall on Christmas so the nurse spoke to Anne and she said it was fine for me to start this month!! 👍 scary but exciting! Scan tomorrow!
Hope you ladies get your letters soon, how longs that been? She said to me originally two weeks before knew was on short so hopefully they will come soon for you both xx

 

[V2R]

H4M - I was scanned on day 3 defo phone back today. I dont think anyone looks up notes when we phone in! I personally dont think Ninewells is very sympathetic we are just a number to them. I'm sure when you speak to Anne today you will be in for a scan tomorrow, exciting & dont freak out at the needles she gives you they look alot worse than they are.
Yea Minno I think our appointment will be sent out at the same time. I'm hoping to be scanned Friday 20th or they might wait another week with the hospital's holidays. It's the not knowing that drives me crazy it would be alot more relaxing knowing what is happening with appointments.

[V2R]

Ah your on here at the same time as me H4M - Thats great news you will be so excited but nervous for tomorrow. Good luck. The treatment will fly by, after egg collection take a few days off work.
Me & Minno will get our letter in the next week or two I'm not bothered about it until I start my nose spray, although it would be good to know now! xxx

Hie Ladies

Hey H4M all the best with your appointment today you will be pupo very soon.

V2R and Minno not long to go now, am sure once you start your treatment they will be able to accommodate you during holiday time coz if they live you to inject for a long time that will be risking Ohss.

 

[H4M]

Haha v2r on at the same time, thank you for your messages.
Had app and everything fine, got the inj to take and to go back on Tuesday for another scan to see how things are going. Bit nervous about inj but hopefully after first couple will be fine. Hope your all getting on ok x

 

[V2R]

Hey you'll be fine with the injections. Good luck. First one is scary after that its easy, I never liked the smell of them that was probably worse than actually injecting myself lol. xx

 

[V2R]

Funfair - Yea I keep counting out the days, if I'm on nose spray for 3 weeks that takes me up to 28th Dec then injections for a week I count I should be in 6th Jan for egg collection (thats if it goes smoothly & if I'm right in counting) it would be better if I knew my scan date. Anway wont be long & we can get started!! xx

 

[H4M]

Thanks v2r, hopefully I will be ok doing it!! Eek!
Hope you hear from them soon, and Minno too, the waiting is horrendous I really hate it, trying to stay positive but it's very difficult with so many let downs x

 

[H4M]

Well first injection done... Feel like such a wimp! Sat on end of bed for ages going through every emotion possible. I eventually plucked up the courage to do it and I never even felt it!!!! 😑 absolute loser I am. Thank you guys so much for the reassurance xx

 

[H4M]

So v2r are you on nose sprays then you need to wait on an app coming through for scan? Then are you on injections up until egg collection? X

 

[V2R]

Sorry for delay in replying I went on my phone yest & ended up posting on the wrong thread!! Argh so today I'm ordering a tablet..

Hi H4M how are the injections going? Are you feeling bloated or any side effects?
I start nose spray Sat for 2-3 weeks I will be scanned at some point but still no appointment through then I inject for 8-9 day's then scanned a Friday. I think working it all out I will be in Mon 6th Jan.Xx

Minno not long now you will be wanting it to be Friday are you on spray for 2-3 weeks? Then what happens? xx

 

[Minno]

Hey ladies, how are you both?
H, have you settled into the injections? I found the thought worse than the reality although I was still glad when I didn't need to do them any more lol
V, start spray on Friday then i guess I'll hear from clinic re coming in for scan but I don't know how long I've to be on spray for. Had a near miss this weekend as thought af had started early and cycle would be busted again. It it's stopped now and I think it was mid cycle bleeding which I get sometimes and especially after exercising! Can't bear any more delays - bet u feel the same! When are u taking the spray? I'm going to do breakfast, lunch, dinner and bed time.
Xxx

 

[H4M]

Hey, I'm feeling ok, injections have been fine and not really felt them, today I took the cetrotide one and my stomachs been a little sore where I injected that one for some reason. I've actually *touch wood* felt fine / normal up until today when stomachs been a little tender. See what they say tomorrow.
Glad you are both getting started very soon, this month will fly in! Minno that's ashame about your wee scare today but I'm glad it's all sorted and won't hold you up.

How are you both feeling about it all? I'm finding it hard to be positive and excited about it, I'm really trying but feel I can't build myself up to be let down again.. Feel that's happened too much 😔 xx

 

[V2R]

Hi Minno I'm going to email Anne today about scan I know its early but I'm starting to panic & I really want to figure out when I will be taken in for E.T as I have a feeling it will be 6th Jan & my other half is due back to work that day so he will need to go into work over the xmas period to get that day off work.....These appointments stress me out!!!! I will also be spraying breakfast, lunch, tea & bedtime I'm also freaking out I miss a spray. I also had a bleed on Sat & sore stomach all weekend but I think I'm just getting worked up my head is burst thinking about treatment/appointments etc.

H4M hope your appointment goes well today. Just try & be positive once your scanned today Anne should tell you how many folicles you have & how many eggs they expect. Thats good you have been feeling fine. Fingers & toes crossed for you
