Sorry Lindy - I have no idea. Might just be an out of date letter about the copy certificate which has crossed in the post maybe?

AFM i have done my 8th jabs of menopur today and am starting to feel quite uncomfortable. Is that normal? Sitting is starting to hurt after a while so am lying/reclining trying to take the pressure off my stomach...

Hope you have enjoyed your Saturdays xx

 

[MrsE75]

Tooexcited - yes the bloated, swollen feel is normal although I don't remember hurting when I sit down. I just generally felt heavy and swollen. It's the lovely ovaries growing sure it's nothing to worry about. When is your next scan?

 

[TooExcited]

Morning MrsE

Next scan is tomorrow so fingers crossed. The aching is more on my left side which is where the follicles were smaller so i'm a bit confused but hopefully all will be explained tomorrow. I'm bracing myself for extra stimming - partly because of the smaller ones they saw on thursday and also i've read its common to go on longer if you have low amh... we'll see. I'd rather do a few more days and get good eggs than retrieve too early and have lots discarded... we'll see.

Also i have laid out my last menopur and needles for the morning so I am bound to have to do more!!!

 

[MrsE75]

Tooexcited - my AMH is zero and I didn't need to stimm any longer so not always that way. If you are havin aches that's good cos means they are growing especially if its on the side where small were. So don't worry I'm sure everything is fine.

Afm - yesterday I was convinced my period was coming but today so far I feel fine today. Still not banking on a BFP but I live in hope!!

 

[Lindylou]

Too- I got really uncomfortable towards the end of menopur. Drink water/ hydrotonic drinks and it does help. Not fizzy stuff.

Mrs - nearly there now. X

 

[TooExcited]

Good plan Lindy - I will go and get some now! Do you mean like lucozade sport etc? I have a proper pot belly today - go away bloating ha ha!

Mrse - come on hun - 3 more sleeps to go. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you babes. Keep the faith. Frostie is nice and snuggled. You have done amazingly well to resist testing this far.

Hoping I don't have to stim for much longer... I want this over and done with! I have to do a presentation to our Board on Tuesday and I am not looking forward to it!!!

 

[Lmhiggins]

bit of a non topic question but ....
when putting a tracker on your profile which option do you choose?? cant seem to get it working

 

[Lindylou]

Too excited- I got lucosade sport lite stuff - it was still and I guzzled it!

 

[Lmhiggins]

wahoo worked it out. Did anyone get really bad headaches with Buserelin ?
my head has been punding for 4 days I'm wondering if it's that or the fact Ive stopped having coffee even though I only had one cup with breakfast each day

 

[MrsE75]

Down regging can give you headaches you need to up your water intake to help with it. I drank 2ltrs plus a day and was fine no headaches. Should help x

evening all, wow we've become a chatty bunch! I'm struggling to keep up with everyone's news.

I did make it to Michael Buble - friggin awesome, only missed the start of the first song thanks to the mental traffic caused by stupid Scottish power. Looking forward to seeing him on tv later - then again on Friday. I'm not a stalker honest - and tooexcited wow - lucky you!

lmh I got terrible headaches as Mrse said, your best to drink lots of water. tooexcited I hope your scan goes well tomorrow. The fact that your getting pain in your sides means your ovaries are probably stimming nicely.

Mrse I know what you mean about feeling like period is going to come. I'm still getting that feeling every now and again. I think its our minds playing tricks on us. I'm keeping everything crossed for you though. When is OTD?

Lindy, Susie hows your little ones doing?

Harley, Jamie, wrighty hope your pregnancies are all going along nicely. Have any of you been referred to the specialist clinics to see the doctor? I've been referred as have history of pre eclampsia in my husbands family so I think that's why not sure just wondered what happened.

Well officially 8 weeks now - seems to have dragged and passed quickly (just not quickly enough) and Susie, if I've done it right, my tracker should now be working.

Love to all, and sorry if I've missed anyone - I'm praying for lots of baby dust for all on this thread!

 

[Likklegemz]

PS Lindy - sounds like letters crossed in post - happened with my little sisters passport last year.

 

[Lindylou]

Thanks likkle. Thomas is getting big. He is brill. How are yoi feeling likkle?

Sending babydust to everyone. Xxx

Glad you had a good time seeing Buble

I will be midwife led care never got this far in a pregnancy before so not sure what will happen lol. Guess i will find out 12+2 today and was great seeing peanut on Thursday still shocked that im actaully pregnant lol waiting for appointment to come through for 20 week scan but should be in just over 7 weeks. should get to hear heart beat at next midwife appointment in 4 weeks.

 

[MrsE75]

Gemz - my otd is Wednesday which is 14 days after a Blasto transfer. Not sure why they want me to wait so long with a frostie cos if you have a Blasto transferred its usually 12 days after transfer. I did double check with the consultant though - perhaps he wants to make absolute sure the test will be accurate!? I've not even bought the test yet I knew if I bought it then I would be tempted so my plan is to go and buy it on Tuesday night.

I've had 2-3 lightheaded/dizzy spells in the last few days no idea why it's not from needing to eat cos I'm hungry all the time which is prob the steroids I'm on. I've not fainted or anything just a little disorientated really. Yesterday and today I've also had a 30 min snooze mid afternoon and I'm of to bed now at 9pm on Sunday night!
All could be the witch arriving although they are not my normal symptoms but hey what's normal anymore with all these flippin hormones!!

I've got a job interview on weds too after my test so it may all go south after but can't have it on any other day so either way I've got to get my mind focussed - easier said than done I know.

Anyone hear from Bugs or AQ recently. I just wonder how they are doing.

Hi to all of you. Xxx

 

[Lindylou]

Heard from AQ in the week. She is a tough cookie. Just wish she there was a chance she could have a little miracle without ivf. X

 

[africaqueen]

MrsE- Lots of luck for OTD. I have everything crossed for you x

Good luck to all the ladies due to have EC or start stimming etc x

If Cvaeh or Bugs are reading, i really hope you girls are ok. We will get there one day, some how x

AFM- Nothing to report ladies. Working hard in my new job and sticking to my diet. Basically putting babies out my mind for now until we come to start IVFx4 next autumn. xxx

 

[TooExcited]
