[HopeandGlory]

Good luck hope and glory and trying for your cycles. It's amazing how fast it all goes once you get started x

Chi that's fantastic . You happy it's one of each? It is all coming around so quickly! I don't have long left xx

V how you doing? X

thanks very much i appreciate that im a nervous wreck but i want it over with ha my bfs brother and wife went through ivf and they both had issues and now shes fell natural 6months after the birth so im very positive and als ready through ur very very long 100 odd pages of chat from your struggles to where u are now is very refreshing to think its very much possible in all different circumstances
i would love to put 2 eggs in but a think thats just bn greedy ha 2 for the price of 1 but a would need to wait n see whats recommended for me first, jumping the gun slightly ha


so jealous of all yous so happy us got ur little miracles

 

[H4M]

That's lovely to hear about your bfs brother and girlfriend . Just shows sometimes when the pressure is off it can happen. There is a lot of posts on here haha! So much to read but there is a lot of positive outcomes . You will be fine, they recommended to us just to put one back but when it came to it they were a day behind which is why suggested two went back x

bnb addict thats great news to think im not alone come next month lol
im glad that the high ovarian reserve isnt a bad thing ive googled it so many times panicking and didnt wana both the hospital to ask what it means ha.
its all im thinking about at the moment trying to be positive and i too am just waiting on day 1 to come around.
Im always late so il end up bn mid month or the end of the month before we would be attending.
is this ur first ivf treatment? u private or nhs funded?

I'm very much wishing day 1 to come too, weird place to be that's for sure it's hard not to think about it all the time that's for sure. I've been trying to vaguely plan when we will start and when collection might be. Hopefully looking to start sniffing mid August if AF shows up on time. we are nhs, what about you?

Thanks very much H4M, I have silently stalked this thread for a long time and always took so much hope from all you ladies who cycled at ninewells

 

[HopeandGlory]

Thanks for ur replys
H4M do u mind me asking how old u are I kept getting told oh ur young ul only need one egg but il only time will tell huh
How's ur pregnancy going?
Trying2012 I'm concerned I've not had any information on what type of medication I'm gn on I've read of short and long protocol I assume ad be on long due to my ovarian reserve n I've heard of this nasal spray trough these threads but tats it ha last time I was at the hospital it was for our bloods ad initial consultation but it says on the letter when day 1 starts that's when I get my drugs ha Woop can't wait
Ours is also Nhs it sucks we only get 2 attempts now on Nhs it used to be 3 self funding it's thar much well I say that I don't have a spare 4-5 thousand but it's do able
Is it bad av looked at back ups already
Hospitals in London are very high success rates
I cover all possibilities ha but my bf goes mad at me he's wanting me to focus on this cycle and to believe this is work so this thread has helped loads

 

[H4M]

Hopeandglory I'm only 26 as well . It is very hard to stay positive, I was negative and my oh kept telling me to think positive and he kept saying it would work 😊! Pregnancy going well it is crazy how quick it's going though!! X

 

[HopeandGlory]

Call me Stacey lol aw really well il try n listen to him then cz I could be stressing out for months and it be as positive as ur outcome n I've wasted time n effort worried for nothing..... Say a little prayer n hope for the best
Great stuff u know what ur having yet? One of each how ideal would that be
Be so cute with ur wee bump too
The things I've to look forward to
Defo keep you's updated

 

[Trying2012]

H&G my nasal spray came with my letter telling me to call up on cd1 of next cycle to book in start of treatment. Maybe now though they are only sending it out once you calk up on cd1. I wouldn't worry too much as if you on long protocol or standard as NW have on all the stuff I have, you only start snuffing in day 21 so plenty of time for it to get to you

 

[Funfair1980]

Hie ladies, sorry I haven't been on for a while and thot I would struggle to catch up on all the posts, it seems everyone had been busy too and not much to catch up on.
Welcome HopeandGlory, wish you all the best with your cycle, try and stay positive all will be well. Good luck to you both and Trying2012.
Chimama that's brilliant news, one of each hope your pregnancy is going well.
Not long to go now H4M I bet you can't wait to meet the twins.
V how are you doing, when are you starting mat leave.
Glitter how are things going with you.
Our wee man is doing well 4 months old now, we enjoying all the laughs, smiles and noisy.
Waves to everyone else.

 

[H4M]

Ok Stacey haha . Yeh try and stay positive, I know how hard it is though, I was convinced it hadn't worked and got a lovely surprise when they said there were two . Yeh it's one of each still can't believe it yet!! X

Funfair lovely to hear from you . Your little man sounds lovely, I can't believe that's him 4months already! Wow! Glad you are all well. I'm looking forward to meeting them but at the same time I feel it has gone far too quick and feel I'm not fully prepared :s ahhh! Haa x

Hi Everyone,
Hope&Glory / Trying. Good luck with your treatments it does seem an awful long haul with hospital appointments / treatment but the hospital do know what to do for the best and remember if it doesn't work the first time they just need to tweek things a little to suit you.
Chimama aw one of each you will be so happy :-D

I'm really good I will be 30 weeks on Monday I did still have concerns on the size of my bump but I'm measuring a little bit bigger so all good. I cant wait to see my little boy I think I will cry for a week when I meet him, I love feeling him move & watching my tummy. I feel so lucky. Pram is ordered a blue silver cross Wayfarer. What did you go for H4M? Names are a nightmare! My o/h just winds me up suggesting names lol so it's baby no name. Are you booked in for a section or natural birth? Wow it's crazy how quickly time has passed. Funfair 4 months already, time has flown by he will be turning into his own wee character now.

Minno still think about you, don't know if you will still sign into here.

Evening all!

Welcome hope&glory and trying2012 ! It seems forever until you get started but once you do it flys in. Most of us have been there and everyone will agree if there is absolutely anything you need to know we'll chip in!. I read mixed reviews about ninewells acu however can honestly say they have been so nice to me and my DH. Always there to help and advise throughout both my cycles and inbetween. Good luck girlies xxx

H - how long left?!! Seems only yesterday!

Good to hear your well Funfair! How's the wee man sleeping? AFM - my BFP stuck! I have seen my little pip and am now 9weeks and 3 days. I've had a fair bit of cramping, sore boobs and general bluaghh/ nausea but no actual vomiting. As you will know I am now wishing away the days till 12 weeks. Scans booked!. Terrified of every twinge and on constant knicker watch - sorry TMI!

Love to all xxx

 

[Trying2012]

Aww glitter thanks for the welcome and offer of support and big big congratulations to you! Xx

 

[glitter1980]

Thank you Trying2012, still not able to say it out loud! xx

 

[H4M]

V, I can't believe your 30 weeks already!! I know you weren't far behind me but hearing 30 weeks is crazy haha! Don't worry I'm not that big for having two!! No one can believe there is two babies in me lol! That's great about pram. we ended up going for a baby jogger, seemed the best and I read up about a lot and this sounded the best one. I can't believe I will proberly be a mum in 2-3 weeks!!!!! It's scary! I'm having problems this week with an extremely itchy stomach it's driving me mad! Keep puting loads of cream on which calms it a bit but so frustrating 😢! X

Glitter I'm so pleased for you don't worry I was on knicker watch too haha! To be honest I still am sometimes I still can't believe it's all real! Have you got your date for your next scan? X

 

[V2R]

Glitter....Congrats yep I was on knicker watch I probably only relaxed after my 20 week scan! Just try & relax don't do too much, keep drinking plenty of fluids & remember to take your folic acid. Exciting time ahead for you.

Yea H I cant believe how time has flown by for us! Only 2-3 weeks till your a mummy how exciting. Have you got the nursery ready? I'm in the middle of doing mine decided not to spend a lot at the moment just keep it plain & basic then see what the baby is into as he grows. I've been putting loads of cream on at night I'm not fussed about stretch marks but having the skin stretch I think it needs some cream! Have you thought about a pregnancy massage? I'm going to see about it at the weekend I feel my legs are needing the circulation worked I've major twitchy legs!! xx

 

[H4M]

That's exactly what were doing with the nursery keeping it plain and simple . We haven't done it yet... Only because we've been decorating other parts of the house and getting new flooring everywhere so have done all that. But the nursery is away to get done and should only take a few days when get started as just need paint and put new carpet in, we have curtains bought and that to go in and chest of drawers Ect all ready . I haven't actually about the massage but to be honest could probably do with it, been sore lately. I'm measuring 40/41 weeks so my bodies starting to think it's time... not been feeling my best and most fittest last few days. I have stretch marks on my stomach, hips and thighs . I'm kinda used to them now, have developed an itchy rash though so have had to get blood taken for that... Seems never ending!! X

 

[Chi mama]

Hi ladies, wow so much has gone on with u all! Happy to see all the positive updates and that you are all doing so well!

We are doing great, we are 19+ now and starting to feel my son and daughter kick me slightly, little monkeys they have also given me a few visits to the hospital as. I have had slight bleeding these past 2 weeks, had cervix checked etc all seems ok but one of the twins placentas are butted against the cervix and this may be causing the problem. Its awful and such a worry but just taking it all one day at a time.

Anyway, hope you are all doing fantastic xxx

 

[glitter1980]

Hey Girls

H - it must be nearly your time!!! Keep us updated xx

Thanks for the advice V - I'm struggling with liquids - only water up until yesterday when I got a whiff of Red Kola - mmmm! Not the healthiest granted but so nice! Hope your keeping well xx

H - Scan is next week. Freaking out a bit because my symtoms keep disappearing then reappearing. No soreness or nausea for 24 hrs then it comes back. It's happened 3 times now and I panic each and every time!. Petrified that I go for my scan and something bad! As in nothing there! Xx. I'm still in that disbelief, dreamlike state.

Chi - hope your ok after your wee scare? Xxx

Love and waves to everyone xxx

 

[V2R]

Wow Gilitter scan next week it seems to take forever between scans, the wait is torture. Just keep positive & keep yourself healthy. The 12 week scan is amazing as I was like you thinking nothing is there, we sat saying nothing just smiling at each other lol it's amazing how much of a difference between the scans.

H4M what is the update? I think you should be due now?

I only have 8 weeks to go. I tried relaxation class last week it was ok but I got a really sore back! Baby is now kicking hard he seems to be awake alot! Also I have terrible thirst I have tea, water, dilute juice, pepsi, ice lollys but nothing takes my thirst away! I'm going to mention to the midwife this week.

Howz everyone else doing? xx
