Ivf/Icis July/Aug Ninewells Hospital Dundee

[H4M]

V2r I know what you mean, men don't seem great at explaining there feelings or understanding how we really feel, my DH is really caring Ect but it just annoys me how he's always like "it'll be fine" and that's it basically. That's ashame about having to cry on your own I understand what you mean though, glad your mum is there for you and you have both got closer, at least you have her there if you need her . As for friends I've not told anyone about this, for some reason I find it very hard to speak about it, my mum is the only one who knows, even then I find it hard to speak to my mum about this and I don't know why as me and my mum are very close. I think I kind of feel in some way that I'm a failure everyone around me gets pregnant very quick and why can't i?? Since joining this site though and knowing how many people actually is going through this has helped me loads. So I thank you all for being there and supporting me through this as I really don't know what I would be like if I didn't have this site to come to and vent my emotions xx

Pcct sorry about your af sending you a big try and relax I know it must be hard after not having it so long xx

H4m it is really hard to talk to people about this, I was the same when we were struggling I told people I wasn't ready for kid! I couldn't face nor even explaining my situation, until I started my ivf I told my close friends. My. I'm knew from 17 I might struggle but I didn't dare tell her it was taken us years. I just didn't want to upset her! This site has been great for sure! Am so glad I found it, I thought I was alone!

I really am praying for u all girls to get your little rainbows and let all this heartache ect wash away.. Of course when u have your babies in ur arms u will not forget all this!

Thank it is horrible but nothing hot water bottle n choco won't sort xxx

 

[H4M]

I know exactly what you mean, we got married at the start of the year and since then it has been hell for us, everyone we meet asks us, all my friends/ family/ work colleagues Ect are always asking, I have actually found myself for a while drifting off and being a litte anti social since the wedding because I hate the questions, and sometimes I feel like screaming at the top of my voice why we haven't got any yet but then I tell myself to shut it lol!! I think if ivf is successful I'll be able to tell more close family but I don't want to now as all I will get is " did it work" Ect ! Aww hot water bottles are brilliant I love them and lots of chocolate 👍😊 xx

How you doing ladies, H4M try and relax huny they say feed your mind with what is positive for it becomes real. Hope you will pull through this 2ww.

V2R I had af when I was sniffing and was on long protocol. I think it's a man thing not showing their emotions and support my Dh was like that I ended up taking it out on him and told him my peace of mind. It was a shame that he lost his brother a month before our treatment so all he was focusing on was the loss of his brother forgetting about our treatment.

Waves to everyone and the little boy in the house hope he is doing well.

 

[H4M]

Thank you Funfair, I'm feeling a lot better and calmer today! Don't know what came over me last night, hope you are keeping well? Bet your excited for little one arriving xx

 

[Funfair1980]

H4M can't wait for March to arrive then will be counting down days.

How are we all doing with Christmas round the corner.

 

[H4M]

Funfair, March isn't long before it comes round! After Christmas it will shoot in!! X

Well I'm starting to get very tempted to test but I keep telling myself no 😔, if I wasn't so scared I probably would have been too tempted and done it by now, but I have never had a BFP so In my head I know it will be a bfn 😔!! Did anyone else test early or wait until date? I also don't want to depress myself for Xmas day if it's a bfn 😔. X

How's everyone else doing? Xx

 

[V2R]

Hey ladies, how are you all?
H4M - How have you been feeling? Not long until you test now fingers crossed you get a nice xmas surprise. I cant comment on doing a test I have never taken a pregancy test never had a 'scare' as they say!!

Not long to go Funfair are you all organised for your wee boy arriving?

Minno today is your scan day? Let us know how you get on. How is the spray going? I'm still having sore heads but I dont need painkillers.

Pcct-how is your af? You feeling a bit better? Must be horrible after not having it for so long but then be good to get your body back to normal. i still havent read your story but I will do it over the xmas holidays.

Wishing you all a merry xmas & lots of luck for 2014 xx

Hey h4m I was the same as as u but I couldn't wait haha I tested 4dp5dt I did get a faint VERY faint line it showed more in pm and the following day and so on... My reason for testing early was bcoz I was fed up not known and forever saying IF am preg ect!!
Hey v2r af all gone thank god! It was the most horrible one ever, so so strange having it after all thoses months!
We had our 6 week check with doctor the other day and I was asked if I had thought about contraption! Talk about a kick in teeth there of course she knew I had a ivf pregnancy but didn't no y so I had to explain I had my tubes removed so slim chance of a oppsy lol... Anyway kaden was getting his medical checks done ears eyes hips ect when it came to his chest she was taken ages, I started to get a strange feeling but I didn't dare say anything... I just got him dressed while she typed into her PC ... We sat back down and she went to sy his checks were fine but. Slight concern with his heart! so we have been referred to hospital for more checks, she said its common this and TRY <<< ha! Not to worry! So am hoping it's just a blip and he gets the all clear! I mean his birth checks were all fine his heart checks at my 20 week scan were all fine! So fingers crossed its nothing!
Anyway I hope u all have a lovely x mas and a lovely new year and hope u are all holding your babies for 2014 xxx

Hey v2r I've been feeling normal for a few days, feeling like I'm away to get af today though &#128532;&#128299; and again strong wind pains all day, glad you are doing ok, not long now until your scan &#128522; xx

Aw Pcct try not to worry I know it's hard but I know a lot of wee ones get things like that and turns out to be nothing, hard not to worry but stay positive! Especially if all previous checks have been fine. About contraception I think even if I got a BFP I'd never go back on anything lol xx

Well I'm not 9dp5dt and getting really anxious now &#128532;! I keep thinking it's a no and if it is I just want to know!! Xx

 

[Minno]

Hi girls. Well that's me had my scan today and all went very well. Nice and thin lining so just ready to start the progynova as soon as donor has her af - early jan I think. Then it will be couple of weeks and hopefully down to business! Nurses were lovely and it was the quickest appt ever? Had to remind them I still had to hand in consents lol

V, won't be long til it's your turn. At least we know the sniffer works - half the time it goes down my throat or back out my nose!

PCCT, so sorry to hear about Kaden but it is very common in really young babies and I'm sure he will be just fine. They are being over cautious. Hard not to worry but try to remain positive, he is a little fighter

H, I didn't test early. Waited til I had the beta conform bfp and then Tested when I knew the result lol I really really hope it's good news for you. I felt very pre af before my positive. It's a good sign! Let us know as soon as you can. You've done so well holding on I think the test would show up now but totally understand you wanting to wait until after Xmas day. On the other hand....that would be some present!

Take care everyone, happy Xmas eve eve xxx

 

[H4M]

Minno I'm so glad your app went well not long at all now!! The nurses were all lovely when I saw them. Eeek you getting excited now? Xx

I know I really don't know what to do??? I feel I'm so convinced it's a negative but at same time it would be a lovely surprise... Ahhhhh xx

 

[Funfair1980]

Hie Ladies

H4M fingers crossed that's a bfp 9dp5dt I tested 10dp 2dt and got a faint line, I had bought 3pack kit so I kept on testing after every 2 days just to make use of them and the line kept on getting darker until my otd that's when me n Dh both used the one from the hospital and rang them straight away for a scan appointment. What an exciting time it was.

Pttc hope it's false alarm re Kaden checks, if everything was clear from birth I don't see why something could go wrong within 6 wks.

Minno that's good news about the lining.

Hey V not yet sorted just bought some bits n pieces doing all the shopping from boxing day sales and January sales, trying to save through sales as we gonna move accommodation as well we live in 2 bedroom 2nd floor flat and wouldn't want to raise our wee boy there.

Merry Christmas to you all, and lots of baby dust in 2014.

 

[H4M]

Well I've not tested yet!! Can't bring myself too !! Think will wait until Saturday..... Scared!!!!! Xx

Hope everyone is doing well, just thought would come on and wish everyone a merry Christmas, hope you all have a lovely day xxx

 

[Minno]

Merry Christmas everyone xxx

 

[pcct]

Merry Christmas

 

[V2R]

Hope you all had a lovely Xmas

That's great Minno it will be a relief knowing the spray has worked. I have been having hot flushes,headaches in the morning also have slight bleeding only when going to toilet. I'm not worried about side effects as they aren't severe.
H you are doing really well not to test. Good luck for Sat I have everything crossed for you.

 

[Minno]

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday, went by so fast!
V, I seem to be lucky and haven't had any real side effects to speak of. Very very slight spotting yesterday that has since disappeared. Oh and my gums feel a bit sensitive but that's all. I'm just waiting now to be told when to start the progynova. You will probs start before me as I'm waiting for donor to get af - start of jan sometime.

H, how are you doing? Have you caved yet? Lol
Xxxx

 

[H4M]

Hi everyone, hope you all had a lovely day yesterday, it flew in!!
V2r hope your symptoms stay mild and nothing more x
Minno not yet... I'm too scared! I had a dream last night that I tested and was positive, then my hubby for some reason had a negative test was weird, and I woke up and thought damn I still have two days &#128532; I don't know if I can bring myself to... If it's a no I'm going to be devastated &#128532; glad your getting on fine too xx

Hi ladies, I'm still following you all and sending my best but have held off of contributing as I don't know so much about ivf only iui. H4M, I completely sympathise about not testing yet and really it's only another 36 hours until you're due to test, stay positive, you will get there.
