IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[Lindylou]

Hi AQ- just sending you love on what I know is a difficult day for you.

Sending all you girls on here lots of baby dust so that next year we can all be cuddling our own bundles of giggling joy on mothers day. Hope you are all doing ok. Xxxx

AFM- bit nervous and excited about ET tomorrow. Has anybody got any tips ? Is there anything I can do to help it work better? Xxxx

 

[Sharkey]

MrsE75, what % of It working did they give at LWH out of curiosity?? One thing that will put my mind at rest Is knowing we have at least tried with our own...... Will definitely do Plan B If need be, I will be a mother & I will never give up on that dream x

Jules78, I would do the DR injections In the evening before bed If you can, you could sleep through the symptoms If any & It won't disrupt you during the day We made a big mistake doing them @ 7am as they totally wipe me out during the day to the point I go to sleep My energy levels have gone out the window x

Lindy, Jut keep on doing what you do and stay positive for EC tomorrow x

 

[africaqueen]

Sharkey- Yes on my previous cycle when i DR i was exhausted but it is putting your body through a temp menopause in effect so thats why. Get lots of rest. I took 500mg of fresh royal jelly capsules for 2.5mths before starting this cycle. I stopped taking them a wk before starting the cycle as they contain hormones x

MrsE- Good luck for wednesdays scan and i hope your lining is nice an thin to start stimming x

Lindy- Side effects of the bum bullets affect everyone differently but with me last time... sex drive went through the roof in 2nd wk of 2ww! omg my dh thought i was on viagra and i was very frustrated as didnt want to have sex whilst in 2ww! lol. Also i suffered with quite bad cramps like period pains within 4 days of taking them. Sometimes the pain was pure agony for 2-3 minute bursts. Im hoping this time around i dont suffer that. Good luck for transfer tomorrow! ur soon gonna be pupo x

Hi to Jules, Laura, Melbram, Susie, Jane, Foxey and all the gang x

AFM- Today is a sad day for me as the 1st mothers day since i lost my lovely mum. I lay some flowers on her memorial before and prayed that she watches over my precious embie. Very sad. Today is also my mum an dads wedding anniversary and would of been 40yrs so my dad is suffering today too. We are going out later to get some KFC and and sit by the beach and eat it. Need to be out of the house. I am thankful i have our lil miracle embie onboard and im praying next mothers day that i am cuddling my own baby . xxx

 

[MrsE75]

AQ - I was thinking of you this morning and all those people who've lost their mums I'm very lucky to still have mine and I'm cooking a lovely lunch today but I can't even imagine how you get through so my thoughts and prayers are with you. Don't you just think you're embie was a kind of divine intervention considering its your first without your mum but effectively today you are technically pregnant?!? Weird how life works out hey!

Well hers to us all and hoping we all have our bundles of joy next year x

Sharkey - HC said I had a less than 5% chance of having my own baby given my AMH results. What did they tell you? What is your plan B. currently mine is 2nd cycle on short protocol and plan C is donor eggs but prob have to go abroad for that but not done any research I know of a place in Cyprus and one in NY (they specialise in older patients that other FC have given up on so that's another option). How about you Sharkey?

 

[Sharkey]

AQ, thanks for that x How you baring up? Stupid question I know, hope your okay x x x

MrsE75, They gave us 10% chance of It working... My plan A Is to use 2 x NHS cycles & then go on to plan B & self fund a DE cycle )) x Won't look properly Into DE until we need to..... Think PMA!!!

 

[africaqueen]

MrsE- Yes i do feel a lot better than i would of done had thursday result not changed. I am very sad today but with hope of next mothers day being wonderful. Thanks for thinking of me x

Sharkey- I have cried this morning an then me and my dad went and got KFC and sat on the prom remembering my mum and hoping for joy in our lives once again x

To both of you ladies- in my mums words 'where there is life there is hope' never lose the pma. Its a tough journey and heartbreaking at times but have faith you will be mummies one day. Also do not lose heart if your 1st cycle fails as most first cycles are a learning curve for the clinic about how you respond to meds etc, GL xxx

 

[Sharkey]

AQ, I always struggle to talk about sensitive things In-case I put my foot In It x x I haven't spoken to my mother, brother or sister In well over a year...... Hard not being able to talk to them sometimes but life Isn't always that easy. There Is only so much heartbreak you can take off family x x x You made me well-up with the above kind words x Sending ou all my love x

 

[africaqueen]

Oh Sharkey what a shame! any chance of sorting things out? that must be so hard. If there is the slightest chance take it as life is so short and you dont want to be filled with regret. Obviously i dont know the reasons but big hugs to you and i hope you get your baby soon xxx

 

[Lindylou]

AQ- a very tough day for you today but I'm sure your mum is always close by, but I'm sure she was willing your little embbie on on Thursday. Xxxx

Sharkey - family relationships can be so difficult. I'm sure it's magnified with what you are going through.

Nobody has given us a % chance of it working so all I know is the general ones you see. Try and focus on you being one of the ones it works for. That's what I'm trying to do , not always easy though. I start getting excited and thinking maybe this will happen but then I try and stop myself in case it doesn't work. I'm sure you are all feeling the same. It was hard before, we went to mamas and papas because my sis in law wanted some bits and I got her s few things. She doesn't know I'm having treatment. I couldn't help but hope it will be my turn soon but I don't begrudge her this. Again like I said, I'm sure you all understand!!
Xxxx

 

[Sharkey]

No not really I've always been the one to apologise for things through no fault of my own but they seem to fall back Into the same routine time & time again.... I will not apologise for things that I haven't done anymore... In my eyes It's about time that she acted like a mother Instead of someone on the street, she had 3 kids not 2......x x

Hope the remainder of your day goes okay x x

 

[Lindylou]

Sharkey- you can only try so many times then you need to take comfort in the fact you have tried everything and get on with your life. Xxxx

 

[Sharkey]

Lindy, Good luck tomorrow with the ET ) x x

Hope everyone Is okay x

 

[Melbram]

Good luck with ET tomorrow Lindy x

 

[Lindylou]

Thanks sharkey and melbram. Just had a luxurious bubble bath seeing as baths are a no no
For 2 weeks! But treated myself to probably more chocolate than I should have as a treat

Hope you are all doing ok with injections and not feeling too bad, pupo's have their feet up being waited on and waiting to start are getting a bit of pampering done.

Xxxx

 

[MrsE75]

Good luck Lindy!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. The weather is just lovely cold but sunny which is better than cold and wet!!

Here's to a great week ahead for all of us and we all get the results we want! Xx

 

[Lindylou]
