Morning all, I last remember looking at the clock at 3am, and I woke up naturally at 7.40am. Thanks Pred! Weirdly i don't feel tired - another thanks to Pred. I had manic energy highs last night too, got really stressed and had a mini flip out about all the things I need to go before going away. All felt somewhat overwhelming.
Another BFN this morning from me at an estimated 10DPO (assuming ov was CD14). I even wasted a FR one rather than a Poundland cheapie. I notice the Poundland cheapie says can be used from day period is late, which isn't early enough obviously. So if no BFP tomorrow it is either intralipids in the US or BFN, which am fine about the latter, it's just intralipids in the US will be a pain.
Sorry about the BFN this month Duggs, yes you were first in and first out, which makes you first in to try again soon too. Nice work on the margaritas!
Talking of Stats - is it only iggi and I who have had a mc on the treatment? iggi did you start the treatment late with that pregnancy? I started on time and had the whole shebang - intralipids once and higher level Pred.
Snoopy I don't feel bad about my experience at 19 either. Even if I never go on to have children I don't regret it for a moment. Think how different our lives would have been. It would have been a terrible thing to happen to me at that time. As it is I know I have had a brilliant life so far. If the worst comes to the worst and I can't have children I know there are a lot of fun ways to live!
Battery not sure about whether you should see Mr S or not - why don't you drop the clinic a line? He certainly seems to have some egg-encouraging potions available but maybe he considers three months isn't that much to try. Worth asking. Like Comedy, Puree and others say Pred can mask symptoms.
The thing with me is I swear I AM getting weird symptoms and I am still getting BFNs. Might just be imaginary or from the drugs. Or of course I am worried that something is there but it's just not very strong iykwim. Sue I too was hoping that my symptoms couldn't just be down to the drugs and HAD to be something else but now I am not so sure.
I hadn't heard about Pred causing nausea either Ari and Coley did someone mention that? The Hydroxy I've had added does cause nausea though and I was certainly getting some at the beginning of the week. Coley it is really reassuring for me to hear that even with your DD you only got a faint positive at 14DPO. It helps me with my fear of faint positives after the last time (the mc on Pred - foetus never grew and had ERPC at 8 weeks - all tests had been faint except a CBD which was spot on).
Kittens the nk cells thing is fascinating. I mean, is there a possibility that we might be immune to other things too? I am not really trying to think back to when I was last ill and I can't remember it was so long ago! I used to regularly get a bout of hard core cold or flu that laid me out for a good week but haven't had that for at least a couple of years.
Talking of which, has anyone had the flu jab? I do want one but I am wondering whether that will be a step too far when on all the drugs etc.
Cherry, my NK Cell Level Twin, I joined you last night in the manic stages. Haven't yet had moonface this time but last time (as I was on the high dose for a while for the failed pregnancy) I definitely did and I also noticed I was a lot hairier. Actually for the first time ever I had threading about three times on my upper lip (when I got my eyebrows done) which I was really embarrassed about but the good thing is it hasn't come back! I fully recommend it.
Euro did I ever say thanks for the PM? Sorry if I didn't. Can't wait for your appointment, although it will be another couple of weeks after that until you get your results.
Phew, that was a long one and got tons of work to get on as my Roid Rage can attest :)
