Hiya Kazza. Well i cant rem seeing a email from u chick so maybe i deleted by mistake? if u send again il look for u so i can add u to the group but u will have to accept my FR first so i can add u

At the baseline scan from what i have heard, you have a internal scan(no probs and painfree incase u have never had one) and they see if the womb lining is thin enough and then decide when to start u on stimms xxx

 

[kazzaallen123]

Hi Girls

How are we all?

I'm on day 8 of stimms now, and so far so good really...(she says with caution!). I have had bloating from hell for the last 2 days, mind! Ovaries are a little twingy now and again, but otherwise fine. Nightsweats have finally stopped too!

Going for day 9 scan on Friday - hopefully all is looking good and I can have my EC on monday!

Kazza - Good luck for your scan tomorrow!

Hello girlies, hope everyone is well.

Africa - thanks for your message hunnie. Am good thanks, had another scan at HC today, 7 weeks now and all was looking good. Heard the heartbeat!! Was nice cos the nurse that was in there had also been on my egg collection! Still worried sick but everyday it gets easier. Am not even putting a ticker on till 12 weeks!! How's your dr going and when's your baseline?

Kazza - good luck for tomorrow, nearly stimms exciting!!

Jane - hope you get good news on Friday and can go for egg collection.

Babydust - yaaay for getting an appointment, it will be here before you know it.

Hello to everyone else and good luck with your cycles. Am looking forward to celebrating all the BFP's

Loads of baby dust to everyone xx

Hiya all well ha my hycosy scan last week and had my consultant appt yesterday. So up shot is that my BMI was fine. There is nothing wrong with me or my OH so they've put me on clomid for 6mths - I'm a little concerned that this is quite a long time and want to get on with it. Plus I've just found out tonight that one of my best friends who has not been trying as long as us and they are 12wks pregnant. So I'm thrilled for her but I feel terrible cos I'm also devastated for me and asking why couldn't that be me. I know that makes me sound like a horrible person but I just can't help feeling that way and my OH just doesnt understand why I feel like that. His view is our time will come.

So feeling crap tonight it all just seems so far away at the moment. Sorry to moan having a bad day 

Hope you're all doing better than me and get some BFP soon on here. X

Hi girls.

Kazza- Good luck for your baseline scan tomorrow! hope u can start stimms. I have looked on fb and nobody has that as their profile pic so cant add u sorry x

Jules- Welcome and good luck with treatment. You would need to attend a PIE(patient info evening) as that starts your NHS cycle. I waited around a wk for the letter inviting us to it and we attended around 5wks later. You get all your consent an blood forms there and once all results are in they bring u in for a joint consultant appt x

Jane- Glad that stimms are going well for you and good luck for fri! not long now x

Nici- Dont worry about the needles. The big ones are only for drawing and mixing when u get onto the stimms. You only use the fine needles throughout and you barely feel them going in, honestly x

MrsE- Im sorry things seem to be dragging but a good sign they think clomid could work as you want to avoid IVF if possible as its more gruelling than you imagine. Good luck x

Susie- Ah thats brilliant news! im made up for you. Is it very emotional to be going through a long awaited pregnancy without your mum with u? im sorry to ask that but i know how emotional i get when i envisage being pregnant and not being able to share the joy with my mum as we were so close. So hard isnt it? Im very happy for you and cant wait to see scan pics! x

Hi to Laura, Caz and all the gang x

AFM- I am on day 9 of dr today and tonights needle hurt a little bit but not like the other night! lol. Its only my left side that hurts, the right is always pain free but my friend said the skin is tougher on the left. All worth it i pray. It does seem to be going fast now so im hoping when i have baseline scan on the 4th oct that i get to start stimms! im so impatient now. xxx

Men dont understand, i recently found out one of my colleague is pregnant and she has only been trying since july. I am so happy for her but just cant help feeling really upset. When i told OH he just fobbed me off and told me not to get too hung up on it, our time will come. Fully understand how ur feeling. Sending you lots of

When doc said he would put u on clomid, did he say he would review you in 3 months? I was on clomid for 3 months and then went for a review and was offered the chance of going straight on ivf or try another 3 months of clomid. I chose ivf. Doc said if it was going to work it would have done in the first 3 months. The maximum you can do on clomid is 6 months. I really hope clomid works for you. Wishing u and everyone else lots and lots of babydust

 

[africaqueen]

Nici- Yep i promise u will be fine and after a day or 2 it becomes part of your routine x

Babydust- How are u doing? x

MrsE- Yes men dont understand as they are programmed soooo differently to us and it gets frustrating a lot of the time! grrrr x

 

[lanny23]

we've got our joint appointment today at the HC what should we be expecting? also what is the next step of the process after that? thanks xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Thats good news Lanny!
At our joint appt, we took consent forms back with us, we were seen by a nurse for 15 mins who went through all the consent forms and blood results etc and then she weighed us both and measured us and asked a few questions and then she was able to give us a appt date to get needles training to start on the following cycle, so i just had to call them on cd1 so they could order my meds and then i took it along to needles appt.
Sometimes if they are very busy they wont be able to confirm a start date at your joint appt, they will ask you to call cd1 and see if they have space that cycle.
Goes quick from here tho ;-) good luck xxx
