TTC - I wonder how they get the sperm working again after a vastectomy, maybe it will take a while for the swimmers to get through? I don't know how it works. Must be hard with him having 2 kids already.

Minno - I'm just waiting & waiting for your new journey. Yes better giving up the exercise. I'm still not back to mine I've got about 9lbs to loose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight I'm not really bother but I have gotten very untoned! Have you stared meds yet? They could make you bleed a little.
My new year was very sober & quiet. I couldn't be bothered with it now xx

 

[Minno]

Hello lovely V. Thinking of you lots and hoping little one is coming on well. I couldn't be bothered with NY either - am glad it's all over now altho I do like Xmas. Not looking forward to getting back to work tho

My body annoys me! Had the breakthrough post exercise bleeding that went in for about 3-4 days, very light, just there. Didn't start meds as didn't think it was cd1. Bleeding stopped now but no af as yet. Do feel v Pms tho and bloated so I'm hoping she's in her way in next few days. Will start meds then.motherwise if I've missed it it will have to be next cycle . You're right about the meds. Probably will bleed with them as I always do. I'm a bleeder lol

Just impatient right now as need to be getting on with this. FET here I come!

Waves and hugs to all the other lovely ladies on this thread. Happy new year everyone xxx

 

[Minno]

Ps I agree I should give up the exercise for now. It's hard core and sometimes makes me wheeze after its so strenuous. And I'm pretty fit. Probably not good for the lining and preparation for FET. Will stop as soon as I start meds. Had a sneaky hours combat tonight just in case that's it for a while lol xx
9lbs not so bad V - bf and walking will help burn that off. X

They say the body still carries on producing sperm after a vasectomy so we are having to go through another route, they go in with a needle and retract as opposed to depositing a sample so fingers and toes crossed everything is ok when they do that, the doctor who done or reversal said it was a success but obviously not that they still cant get through. Trying to think positive and will find out more info on the 12th as to when we will beginning drugs etc. Hoping everything is ok with us both, x

 

[TTC 2013]

Another question I have is if all going to plan and I have enough eggs that make it through to fertilise and put back in whether to put 1 or 2 back. They say I have a choice but strongly advise if I have 1 good 1 then going with that and not 2, they say it doesn't increase the chances of it working which I cant understand. x

 

[H4M]

Hi everyone,
Minno hope you are getting on fine and things are progressing well for you? Have you got af yet? X
V lovely to hear from you hope you are getting on great! X
Ttc they advised us too to only put one good one back in but on the day they were a wee bit behind so said two would give us the best chance so we went with that , I think it's more just the risks with multiple pregnancies. X

Has anyone seen the gardiner family who have just had quads?? They went through ivf and got two put back in and both split !! So four baby girls they have! So incredible! They were just born last week and doing great! X

 

[V2R]

Minno no wonder you are impatient you've waited so long & now it's so close you want to crack on this is good though you are definitely in the right frame of mind. Good you are giving up exercise. I loved combat I was hoping to get back tonight but I'm really unsure if my tummy is fully repaired that's 11 weeks since section.

Reply to you all soon I'm being called on just the usual when I put the laptop on lol xx

 

[H4M]

Haha V know the feeling lol! V I'd make sure you are fully ready and bodies ready, I wanted to start exercising ages ago but was unsure as sometimes I still got a bit sore, it's only now I'm starting to feel ready ! And boy do I need it 😢 want to lose at least a stone!! X

 

[Minno]

Girls thanks for your good wishes and lovely thoughts. Af started yesterday but she is on and off which is unusual and frustrating. Had to decide so started the meds today and just hoping that works out ok. I don't think it will matter so much with it being FET is time. Scan is on the 16th and then we'll see what clinic say about when they want me to fly out. Do need a bit of notice tho coz flights from edin are not very frequent and I don't want to stay here any longer than necessary so need a quick turn around too.
Could all be done in next 2-3 weeks. Incredible to think. V yes, I didn't want to miss the window as just fed up waiting!

Exercisemmmmm I miss it already but have to,prioritise the preparation for ET. I would think start with something bit gentler than combat to get you back into it. Brisk walk or swimming to start?

Quads H? Oh my! Now here's a thought!
Xx

 

[H4M]

How's things going Minno? X

 

[Minno]

Hey H. Thanks for asking. Well got date for ET for 22/1! It all hinges on ultrasound result next Friday. I'm not sure. Af went mad this cycle so who knows. Had to book the flights today tho as otherwise wouldn't have got one so may just have to lose that money if have to reschedule. On the plus side my gp today gave me a post dated sick line for 2-3 weeks after transfer!

Hope all is well with you? How are things with twins? Xxx

 

[H4M]

That's great Minno, not long now at all! Stay positive . That's great that doctors given you a line, that way you can rest up for a few weeks .
Twins are fantastic! Amaze me everyday at what they can do! Just perfect ! It's a year ago I started getting sickness imagine that??!!! It's weird as I only thought about this as there is certain smells I'm smelling and it's bringing back memories lol !! Like when the dogs back from her walk and been in puddles Ect.. Don't know if it's this time of year or what!! Weird! Something I don't miss at all though haha xx

 

[Minno]

Must be amazing to see how they are growing and interacting with one another. Hardly seems that long ago at all. I remember when you got your positive result and you were sure it was a dud cycle -lol! Tempted to go back for more?? X

 

[V2R]

Minno Brilliant you have started your journey now very exciting. Not long until 22nd. Did you say your have two put in? Do you feel you can relax knowing you have a line to be off work & you can sit back & relax maybe you should take up a new hobby for the 2ww.

I went to combat on Sat I was very sensible & did squats instead of jacks, high knee runs I just did a wee pathetic jog lol but it was good to be back. I do feel a wee twinge in my tummy but nothing sore only my shoulders are aching!!
H4M funny you speaking about smells when you were pregnant...I still cant stomach soup or the smell of it, very strange. Do you feel the year has flown by?
x

 

[Minno]

Two or possibly just one depending on what happens and the quality - and of course, if they survive the thaw!
I'm really pleased to have the sick line

 

[Minno]

Eh? I posted by mistake there!

I was saying I'm pleased to have to sick line - takes some
Pressure off without having to rush back to work. But at the moment I'm just taking it one step at a time. Will see if lining makes it to required level. If not then I still have a few more days until I fly out so I've asked dundee if the would consider giving me a last minute scan. We'll see what they say - could be the difference between fet going ahead or not so I hope they agree.

Brilliant you got back to combat V. I'm really missing it. That's a week I've done no exercise. Getting a bit agitated lol. Don't want to take any chances tho so gotta see the bigger picture I guess.

Xxx

 

[V2R]

That would be great if Dundee gave you a scan hopefully they will. Pity there wasn't a clinic in Tayside that had a Prague clinic, really the government should put more money into it & look for egg donors.

Do you swim Minno? I had a break after ET for a few weeks then went back. I know it doesn't give you the buzz like combat does but it's good to do something. xx

 

[Minno]

Wish I did swim V. Never really got into it. Great exercise tho. Been out walking my dog every day and at night when dh usually does it. Just to be doing something.
Great news - dundee have agreed to scan me on Monday if I need it. Phew. Gives me a bit of breathing space.
Snow here this morning and I have to drive to work ugh xxx

 

[V2R]

You maybe should take up swimming good light exercise. Brilliant Dundee is doing a scan it's now flying by nearly time Is it Wednesday you go to Prague?
Its bad snow with me today roads haven't been cleared just the usual. Take care on the roads xx
