[Minno]

Woo hoo Funfair, congrats on being team blue! Aw that is lovely news. Are you rushing out to buy everything for a little boy now? Aw.

V, I hear ya. Waiting around is doing my head in! I also worked out that if af starts over weekend I would have to be on the spray for weeks until clinic opened again in Jan. I think if she does arrive soon they will ask me to start in day 2 of next again cycle...so even more waiting grrrrrrrrr we should all get medals for the mental torture! Xx

 

[Minno]

Update from me - af started today woohoo. So I will contact clinic and see if I can get a date for dr! Hope it's this cycle and they don't out me off til next one! Xx

Minno, delighted for you.

Funfair, blue is great. I know pink is too but I'm a bit biased these days.

That's great news Minno so you on long protocol. Can't wait start shopping for blues.

Hope you all doing well.

 

[H4M]

Yay Minno !!!!! So excited for you 😄 xx

 

[Minno]

Thank yiu ladies.feels good to get going again. Bit of a pain that Xmas is delaying things but it is a nice thing so not so bad!
Funfair, I'm just down regging and then taking oestrogen for lining. Donor is on short protocol. So i should be more or less ready for ET come January. Just hope I'm not on the drugs forever if there's a problem her end.

Hey, this is the team blue thread!! Xx

 

[V2R]

Quick reply............Morning Ladies, I start my nose spray 7th Dec & guess what thats my birthday so nice wee present from the hospital lol, my scan appointment will be sent out. What date have you been given Minno?
Aww a wee boy congrats Funfair you will be able to get organised now.
xx

That's great news V2R that means the 3 of you might be cycling together. It will be all baby dust in the New Year.

 

[Minno]

Hey V2R, I start the spray on the 6th lol. How weird is that?! Wonder when our baseline scans will be? X

 

[H4M]

Not long to wait now ladies, hopefully I'll be giving the hospital a call next week and get started too xxx

 

[V2R]

We might be in on the same day for scan I thought the nurse wouldve told me what day to go in for a scan but have to wait on appointment in post so I dont know how long I'm on spray for says 2-3weeks on protocol!! I would like to be organised as its so close to christmas.

H4M- Do you know what protocol you are on yet? Short or Long?

Ohh it could be a magical xmas for the 3 of us xx

 

[H4M]

Think I'm short, when start period need to phone them and go in for scan on day 1 or 2 then start meds will have to look at letter again xx

 

[Minno]

That's definately short H. Sounds like you will be before V and me but it will depend on how things fall with the Xmas break. Grrrrrrr so annoying and bloody typical that we wait this long and our turn falls when it's the longest period of downtime for the clinic. I think they are doing scans and transfers until 22nd though so we might get scans before they close. I haven't heard either V. Expect we will get appts in the post. Let me know when yours arrives and I'll do same.
Already 19th Nov girls. Won't be long either to getting started either way xxxx

 

[V2R]

H4M you'r treatment will probably be well under way by the time me & Minno start our sprays How many times a day are you to spray? I'm four times a day.

Only bit I'm not looking forward to is I have my works day/night out & I always drink at it. They will get suspious if I dont drink so my plan is either pretend I'm drinking & go to the bar to get the rounds/phone in sick on that day or lie that my other half is on his works night out & needing picked up!!! Do you'z have works xmas night out?

 

[H4M]

I'm not sure about sprays yet will need to ask them. Yeh I have a works night out so I'm a bit worried about the same thing although I think I'll use the having to pick someone up excuse or like you just pretend to have a few. Hard time of year for that kind of thing xx

 

[Minno]

I am boring girls, I'm a tee-totaller so people just expect me to be on the cokes! Lol
No word yet re scan appt. V did you speak to a nurse she you called with your af? I spoke to Anne.
Xx

 

[V2R]

Lucky you not needing an excuse not to drink lol. I've been at my work 15 years & have never been out on a xmas night out not drinking!! Luckily this new year we have planned to do nothing since I knew treatment would be around now!

She never said who she was on the phone just told me to start my spray 7th & an appointment would be sent out, I'm a bit annoyed that I never got a scan date over the phone I like to be organised.

H4M sorry I didnt make sense on my last post. You wont have a nose spray, you will do injections. How are you feeling about the injections?

[H4M]

That's ok don't worry, I'm a bit nervous about them but think will be fine, spoke to someone at that evening about them and got reassured so hopefully be ok, think it's more the Egg collection and transfer I'm worried about xx
