WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[almosthere]

So glad you are positive about this cycle, FX!!! AFM still waiting for call from nurse about when to start stimming.....supposed to hear back between 3:30 and 5:30 today...

Thanks Almost

So pleased things are progressing with the ivf- can I ask what is stimming? - it all sounds very positive!

Sorry, I forget I am the only ivf-er on here-so much lingo I am even still learning about IVF!

Stims is short lingo for stimulation medications-so they will begin to stimulate my ovaries or something? I am no pro with IVF but that is what I have learned with it =) It basically prepares my body to produce lots and lots of beautiful eggs in my many follicles (aka follies for short ivf lingo haha). So this feels like a huge step closer to my IVF procedures compared to lupron. Lupron & BCP's surpresses my body and makes sure I did not ovulate this cycle. Since I start stimming SATURDAY (nurse told me today!!!) I will cut my lupron cycle in half. So as of saturday I will be getting TWO pinchy shots in my belly which stinks-but it needs to be done and each shot brings me a day closer to my egg retrieval and my egg transfer!!! I know this is a mouthful and may be confusing but hope it helped a little! I also start frequent

sorry my cat is in lovey mode and jut send that unfinished!! she loves to lay on my laptop which drives me crazy!!! she is my 3 year old furrbaby =). A munchkin cat!

Anywho, I start frequent monitoring Wednesday already which is just super early wake ups before work for ultrasound and bloodwork sometimes every single day or perhaps every other-all depends on how well each day goes I suppose. Okay, super sleepy, spotting from withdraw bleed from BCP so feel icky-off to take a rest! FX for you sunshine I hope this is your lucky month!

All sounds good almost.

I had another appt this morning and my cervix is still closed so the waiting continues. I never knew that it would be so painful getting it checked! Next time they offer to check I think I might give it a miss at least until I'm in labour!

Emz and Jem, some of our friends want to buy us a car seat. We already have a group 0+ which goes up to 13 kg and are unsure about whether to choose a group 1 seat which will last up to about 4 years or a group 123 which will take us to 11 years ish. Obviously the 123 is better value for money buy I've read that it's better not to get a seat for more than 2 groups. What kind of car seats did you choose for your not so little ones?

Good luck sunshine x

Almost it's great that things are progressing quickly for you x

Miss M, we extend rear face Kai so bought a rear facing seat which should last up until aged 4. I would have bought a group 1 forward facing though if we had not rear faced x

[sunshine82]

Thanks Almost!

I'll read your journal now- thanks! Good luck with Stimming tonight! I'm so excited for you to get that bfp soon let's hope we are going to be bump buddies- how great would that be! !!! I'm getting some more odd symptoms I have some low backache and light af cramping this afternoon - and sine quite odd uterus pain yesterday low down at work it actually made me think hmmmmm!!
hope it's my lovely little bean implanting!!!!

 

[almosthere]

yay sounds very promising-I will be a month behind you but still so close!!! I am still spotting from WD bleed...ugh, can't wait for that to be over!

 

[sunshine82]

Heya lovelies hope you have had a good day!

Can I have some of your fab advice I'm about 9/10 dpo if I did infact ov on cd 16/17 as I think! I have some strong lower back cramps - actually hurts a bit! I have had lots creamy cm last few days but today it's been abundant and sort of creamy/ewcm mix which is slightly stretchy but holding shape( so sorry for tmi!) have slightly more sore bbs, had some af type cramps and odd pain in uterus area for few minutes - as I said I'm not going to obsess (or try lol!) hmmmm could just be impending af! Also last night- this is really embarrassing to write eeekkkk - well i had the most wierd dream that I had milk leaking from nipple omg can't believe i just wrote this!!!

Even though this month I've got some symptoms they are only the last few days not from like 1dpo other months and I feel much more relaxed about the month and not expecting anything! Well we will see!!!

Xxx

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Sounds promising Sunshine, especially as you feel different than previously. Good luck, I really hope it's your BFP x

 

[almosthere]

I agree, sounds promising. So horrid night last night-I was supposed to start new ivf medication-the one to start growing my follicles and I never got my pen-instead of a syringe a special pen for my follistim needed to be used. So, I had to take my old dosage amount of lupron and delayed my ivf cycle by a day-I hope this does not affect my chances...but on a brighter note, drove far, but got my pen from my fs and stimmed tonight! yayy =) Hope my bfp comes right on time next month!!

 

[sunshine82]

Thanks ladies I guess we shall see what happens in next few days of af shows or not- I do feel really af crampy this morning but thanks goodness that back pain has eased I was so uncomfortable last night i just couldn't sleep I had to lie on a pillow in bed! Odd dreams again last night that me and my mum were on a rollercoasterbut they didn't put the seatbelt on us and we didn't realise until upside down and we had to hold on for dear life!!!! Lol! I think this will be a 30/31 day cycle -so af due in next 3-4 days. ( this is why I hate irregular cycles as so hard to know when af due and can only go by when I think I ov!)

How are you Emz? Hope things are going well

Almost I'm so exited for you that's good that they have finally started you stimming- I assume then you have to do the injections yourself then from what I have read- I'm sure you'll have lots of lovely eggs ready for your first ivf! I can't wait for end of next month for you to find out - I've got a real positive feeling that your going to get that bfp really soon- that would be amazing you have been so patient and I'm sure that reward is just around the corner hun!!! Yey!!

Hope everyone else is well too

Lots of love xx
