Hi, Girlie. How are you?

 

[Jaybo]

Comfy - great fertilisation report! Yay!

Star - whohoo for AF! you must be so relieved she's finally here.

AFM - I'm struggling and been a bit of an emotional wreck the last couple of days Cramping has continued and got worse, just feels like AF is on her way now (would be due tomorrow). Blah! Sorry for the rant, just finding the TWW hard.

Hi everyone else, hope you're all doing ok xx

 

[CMo]

Hi ladies, hope your all well. Not been on for a while, busy busy with work. Nice to see there's lots happening.

Mo 9 is a great number, good luck for transfer 2mo

Jaybo & Libby how's the tww going?

Star - fingers crossed AF is here, what's your timeline now?

Comfy - 4 fertilised is amazing news!

ILT - how are you keeping

Bump, BMW, aurora how are u guys?

Hi to anyone I've missed.

AFM - first burselin injection this am, nippy wee thing with a nasty wee afterburn. Nice to finally feel like I'm doing something.

Girls I'm really struggling to stay positive just now. I've just got it in my head that this isn't going to work. Why am I finding this PMA thing so difficult??

 

[Aurora CHK]

Thanks for the good wishes, CMo! Just left my day 9 stim scan: not good. 7 egg follicles but only 3 over 1cm. Risk of cancellation. Back on Monday to check progress. Nothing I can do, they said, just wait and see. Might be we just get a couple but they might be great quality. And lining looks great. So not out. But pretty dire

 

[Aurora CHK]

Whoop for AF, Star! X

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jaybo, I'm sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. The increasing cramps could be implantation. I did feel more cramps before. Hopefully AF stays away for you. It's hard not to worry. feel free to rant as often as you want. I'm always stalking this thread especially when you wake up at 2 am .

Cmo, good to hear from you. I'm doing well. Occasional nausea, minor cramps, and apparently mild insomnia now. Just know this process do work. It might takes a few time but it works as some of the ladies here have experienced it. Try not to think too much about it. I know it's hard but unfortunately for us....this is the way to go. So hang in there Cmo

Aurora, sorry to hear about the scan report. Did they adjust your meds? 3 is better than nothing.

I'm sorry that some of us are having a hard time. There were times I would just lay on the couch flat, put both of my hands on my lower belly, took a few deep breaths, empty my mind, and told myself what I want my body to do. Either for the follicles to grow or for the embies to implant. I also imagined growing follicles and implanting blasties. For whatever reason, it helps with my stress level. Btw, I have never meditate before so I don't know if you call that meditation. All I know is that I want a positive vibe for myself. I still do it now. It's comforting to me. Hopefully that can help lower the stress level. It's a hard process ladies. Hang in there!

 

[Comfycushions]

Sorry people are having a tough day.

Jaybo, hoping the cramping is in fact a good thing. Also hope you're being extra kind to yourself.

Cmo, great news that you've started your injections. Some of mine stung but by no means all. Maybe tomorrows wont hurt at all. I don't have any tips for staying positive as I've been resolutely negative! Being negative can't affect outcome though. I think we just need to take it one day at a time and enjoy distractions where we can.

Aurora, so sorry about todays scan. I really hope things look better by Monday.

Afm just waiting for embryoligist to call. Trying to be all but feeling more

 

[Libby4snoopy]

Hi Everyone.

Jaybo- please feel free to rant thats what were here for! I experienced a good amount of cramping yesterday but nothing so far today. Cramping on an off during the TWW would be usual for me so Im still abit worried too. Hope your feling better soon

Mo-Good luck with the transfer, FX

Comfy-Hope you get good news from the embryologist, FX

Cmo-I experienced some burning after injectiing at times with Bruserline and definitely some major headaches. Not sure if it was them or the stims but I had some serious anger issues while injecting! Completely gone once I stopped! Hope it goes okay for you

Aurora-So sorry about your scan news, hope you get what you need xx

 

[lizzie78]

Sorry i've been awol, needed some time to myself I think. Can't believe everything that I have missed!!

Will read all the way back later today but quick replies to those I can see without scrolling:

Mo - Is it your transfer today?? If so good luck and can't wait to hear that you are PUPO.

Comfy - lol it is very hard to keep our col when waiting for the embryologist to call - FX'd it's good news

Jaybo - hope the cramps are just implantation. So hard not to worry but the others are talking sense

Star - OMG Af is here?! Fab news chick, is that you ready to get going now or do you have to wait until further into your cycle? (Sorry I know you've told us before but I can't remember).

CMo - it's so hard to be positive all the time I think we can't help but try to protect ourselves a little bit. I don't really know why we bother since it's devastating anyway if it doesnt work. I have no tips for feeling more positive but hope that it passes for you.

Aurora - posted in your diary sweetie

Hello to everyone else

I've not been in a great place the last few days. My comute is nearly 6 hours a day at the minute and is taking its toll on me as you'd expect but I had acupuncture last night so feel better today. Transfer on Weds next week so starting to feel nervous/terrified/excited etc. It all feels a bit surreal without an EC!

[star25]

Jaybo, fingers crossed it's a good sign

Cmo, it's so hard to stay positive but with us all sticking together we will be fine

Aurora, hope your happier with Mondays scan but 4 will still be good

Lizzie, you must be knackered!! Rest when u can and yay for transfer! Yes af is here and it's killing me stomach is agony, good news is baseline went well and started estrogen today, go bk Mon 16th for scan to check progress amd if all ok transfer a week later, finally!!

 

[MoBaby]

Jaybo stay positive! I had cramps.

Cmo yay for starting!

Aurora: fx things change. Did your meds change?fx for Monday.
Comfy I hate waiting for that call!!

Transfer tomorrow at 9am! I'm a nervous wreck. Pelvic discomfort seems to have flared back up. I started progesterone suppositories the other day-yuck! I'll be sure to update after transfer.
