IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[BabydustxXx]

Hi ladies thank god it's Friday. Roll on the weekend, it's my last full day of working until september now. Iv booked off half days during ramadan so I can sleep the days away. Really not looking forward to the long days.

Just a quick question - I'm due to start treatment mid sept so looking at EC in October, IF I get a BFP am I ok to travel abroad in dec or is that too soon? I would love to go away in dec as that will be the only time I will be able to fit a hol in IF I get a BFP.

Hi girls! How's everyone doing?
Well deserved week off coming up for a few of u! Woop woop!
Africa,sound like u an eventful night planned with the girls! x
Laura,enjoy tonight hun,hope u won't feel 2 tired.x
Babydust,can't help u with that one sorry hun. Not sure if i would fly in the early stages.

I'm not feeling too good today,very tired and bloated,I've not even changed out of my pjs! Im very emotional and crying for no reason! I guess It's my hormones! xx

Jane,melbram,babies,Polly hope u r well? x

 

[dakron67]

africanqueen, thank you ever-so-much for the reply, it's has put my mind at rest, all we have to do is wait for our appointment at the hewitt centre n start on our 1st round of clomoid, thanx again hun. although we never now we may have news earlier, af is 3 days late but got 2 bfn so dont know were i am at the mo..love donna xxx

 

[foxeydevil2]

Good luck del another bfp soon enough, yes my pregnany is going really quick.

africa im good thank u and baby is doing well, im six months today cant believe it.
september will soon be here, well be in august next week.

laura hows it going? u gone back to work? i had the first 13 weeks off after my positive test and also had the treatment off from egg collection! ive also been off this last 6 weeks due to my insomnia. all in all ive worked 6 out of 26 weeks so far but my work havn't been to helpful with me at work so being on the sick is best for me and them. i need to be back by 32 weeks tho otherwise they can force me on maternity. bare all this in mind and take some time off! work cant touch u when ur pregnant and u need to take it easy especially the first 12 weeks. i wasnt risking anything after what we'd been thru.




hope everyone else is good and gets their bfp's soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

hi hunny

glad to see u have had some time off hun and lots of rest! im back at work now on very light duties so im not riskin anything either! im off nxt week on holiday which im soooooo looking 4ward to, its actually not to bad in work coz it takes my mind off worrying! but im realy exhausted with 7.30 starts and 5.15 finishes! im sooooo tired when i get home. We realy need the money now so aslong as i continue with my very light duties im hoping il be ok! im taking it easy just cant be doin wiv early mornin starts at the mo as ive just started sleepin thru apart from a few trips to the loo thru the night hehe! glad ur good hun! xxx

as long as your taking it easy hun! im lucky i get full sick pay for 12 months, guess if i didnt then id have been at work as we to need the pennines. glad youve started sleeping beta, i was peeing constantly until 21/22 weeks as the baby stayed in my pelvis until then. whens ur scan? x

Babydust- Ramadan Kareem for tomorrow and it looks like we will be starting around same time! its our anniversary in dec and we wanted to go abroad but not gonna risk it if the treatment works so going to have a wkend away in this country. x

Hi to Polly, Melbram, Babies, Caz and all the gang anf hope ur all enjoying wkend!

The stripper was bloody fab! lol. He did take EVERYTHING off an my word there was some graphic pics on my camera that dh looked at!! hahaha. Good laugh tho.
We are going to see mm parents later and then im doing a roast dinner for us. Having a lazy day apart from a walk along the beach later. 4 days till consultant appt!
cnt wait but nervous about test results etc as not got a clue on them apart from the rubella xxx

 

[BabydustxXx]

Thanks everyone on your comments on whether I should fly or not. Iv decided if it is a BFP then I will be resting and putting my feet up at home. I am under strict orders from dh and sister. Iv just found out someone I know is getting married in India and I have been invited to the wedding so if it is bfn then I shall be on the next plane out of here.

Good luck for the scan tomoz del. Hope it all goes well for you.

Laura seems like drinking water is the way forward with you. Have lots of rest too.

Africaqueen good luck for your consultation, fx crossed everything is ok and we can start our cycles around the same time. Whoop!!!

 

[Jane22]

Evening ladies - hope you have all been enjoying the fab weather this weekend? Just a shame that it's Monday again in one more sleep...

AF is due at any moment, so as soon as she appears I'll be on the phone to HC to see if we are starting this cycle or next! Very impatient - never wanted to come on so much!

Del - good luck tomorrow, hope all goes to plan.

Babydust - I'm in the same dilemma regarding travelling and holidays - we can only really go away Dec/Jan, so the location is entirely dependent on this treatment. Hate not knowing, I would normally have it all sorted by now!

[africaqueen]

Hi Jane, Not long for u now then! bet u are so excited xxx

 

[Jane22]

Well girls.....AF came this morning and I rang up HC straight away.

Am booked in for this cycle!

Will start injections on the 23rd, and have my 'needle appointment' on that day. Really quite nervous now about pumping my body full of drugs and how I might react.

Has anyone had acupuncture before/after EC? Am really considering it.

Hope everyone else is doing good today xxx

 

[Del xx]

Hi girls,everyone ok?
Super news Jane,won't be long for u now. I'm having accupuncture this time round hun,find it relaxing,not having any sessions after embryo transfer though,will have my last session the night before transfer. It's also very expensive at £37 per session. Not sure if It's doing any good but i'm willing to try anything! X

Laura,how ru feeling today hun? Did u get through to the nurses this morning? x

Africa,count down to your appointment now hun! X

Well I had the scan this morning,they are very happy with me,I had some lovely sized follies! I'm having my trigger shot at 8pm tonight! I'm going in for egg collection at 7.30 Wednesday morning!! It's going to be a very early start for us! Can't belive that it's come round so quick. I really really hope that it will be third time lucky for us! Xx

I've been having regular sessions scince May Jane,have increased them to 2 session a week for the past 2 weeks as I pretty much new the time scale with the short protocol. I have mine at a local clinic. Xx

 

[Stickypolly]

Hi Girls

hope everyone is ok, not been on for a while. Been to LWH this morning for my first hormone blood test so got another 2 weeks to wait until next blood test and then more waiting for follow up appointment.
The nurse made a right mess of my arm taking the blood this morning but it will be ok in couple days.

Good luck to eberyone who has things going on, maybe it will be me one day.xx

 

[africaqueen]

Jane- Fab news on getting a start date! yaaay x

Del- Ooh EC on wed! this cycle has flown by hasnt it?! x

Polly- Nice to see u back hun. Good luck with bloods x

Laura- How is our newest preggo addition? lol x

Hi to everyone else x

She has gone through IVF twice, had 2 angel babies at 6mths pregnant and still gives me support for my forthcoming treatment. She truly is a brave an wonderful lady and im proud to call her a friend xxx
