This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

well, sweetie much as i would love it to be early symptoms, it's most likely just from the humidity/food. sigh.
Re AMH, I lurk sometimes on the TTC10+ thread, and have seen that a couple of ladies have been told of really low (or is it high that's bad?) AMH there, and i think it's not universally seen as a helpful test. Just to warn you, in case it's a poor result. Some of them wish they'd not had it done. Might be worth starting a thread along those lines?

Could you try and not make any decisions for a couple of weeks and just keep healthy lifestyle if you can, or to some degree. Waiting until you've spoken to the doctors and got more info, and had time to process before deciding either way might be the best way. Big hugs, and enjoy your pup x

Aw Scarlett I am so sorry that you haven't had such a good response to the stims, have they advised you to up the dose? Just keep going and see what happens Friday, I will be brooking that those follies do their job.

Solars if you need any info on preparing the meds just ask, how many vials are you doing? Just give yourself plenty of time to mix the meds, I used to prepare it all then do the jabs. It took about half an hour the first time but i did get a bit quicker towards the end.

keep are you ok? Do you think it is just the heat or anything else?

face sounds like the wedding plans coming along really well

Geek any news on your appointment?

Well I POAS this morning just to be sure, of course it was BFN. I am surprisingly ok with it. I am going to book for my AMH doing, but I will ask our clinic what they would suggest as next steps, what we/they could do differently, if anything. We may go to a different clinic for a second opinion. But I would really like some time off from ttc, just to get our lives back a bit and enjoy the things we used to. DH thinks we should take advantage of our healthier lifestyle, not boozing, taking all the vits etc rather than letting that go to waste by going back to our old ways. Just taking it a step at a time.

Right am off to take pup for a walk before it starts raining again!!!

scarlett so sorry that you haven't responded to the stims - do they know why that might be? We will brook for your folly, and the assisted natural sounds like it wouldn't be a wasted cycle. I'm brooking for a good result from the scan on Friday, whatever that good result might look like.

solars you poor thing, I'm so glad you didn't have to abandon - maybe the tears worked! That seems a good number of follies (though I know nothing, and thought the follies only started growing after the stims...) Brooking for your blood test results, and I'm sure you and mrsolars will manage to figure out the drug-giving. I'm sure there's a youtube video, or if not then don't feel bad to ask the nurses again today.

pearl no experience of ectopics, but if you're having pain i believe that can be a sign. Doctors (either GP or A&E) would not look badly on you for turning up to get checked out. Do you have any pain? If so I think you should go to the doctors, if not then you most likely just ovulated later, or it could be an anovulatory cycle. Better to be safe than sorry though.

Almost fainted this morning and got really hot and sweaty and clammy when i got up. It is super hot here though. 8ish dpo. I feel the same as normal, so am already starting to think ahead to the next cycle, though AF not due until next Thursdayish.

Scarlett you poor love, I am brooking too for a quality egg! It is all such a roller coaster isn't it, hang on tight though and you'll get there. Lots of hugs x

Sweetie yes fingers crossed I get to start on the menopur tomorrow. They went through how to do it all today, but I already feel like I've forgotten what to do!

Boo, Maybe hope you both are well!

Hi Pearl I don't have any experience of ectopics but if you are having lots of pain and other symptoms then perhaps you need to be seen by someone.

Oh Scarlett you poor thing. Why is this also bloody hard? I am so brooking that this follicle is going to produce the golden egg. Hope you get a restful nights sleep x

Oh love, it could be a random cycle, I once had a mammoth 9 week one, I have no experience in ectopic pregnancies but others here might. Have you any other symptoms?

they are. Am really worried could be an ectopic again

Oh Scarlett I am so sorry, I will keep brooking for the little folly and shag week. Be kind to yourself.

Hello Pearl are your cycles usually regular? Try not to panic.

Im on CD 40 / 33 but still getting a BFN and no AF am panicing

Solars you look after yourself, keep warm and plenty of fluids. Really hope they give you the go ahead to start stims tomorrow evening. Are you on menopur?

Solars sounds like your scan went really well, loads of good follies, brooking for the blood test results so you can start the stims tomorrow. I would have got upset at the mention of a delay too, but your consultant sounds wonderful. Treat yourself to lots of rest, it sounds like your doing really well.

Brooking you also had good results Scarlett

Oh Solars you poor thing. Here, have some tea, cake and a blanket. That's great news about the scan though, looks like you are well on track. Sending you lots of love x

Hi, just thought I'd update you all, but firstly thank you all for the good lucks.

I have been scanned today and my endometrium lining is 1.6mm, so nice and thin. They also took bloods to check my estradiol level. They will ring me tomorrow afternoon with the results and then give me the go ahead to start on the stims tomorrow evening.

Unfortunately the cyst on my left ovary is still there however they did manage to see 2 follicles on it, as well as the 8 on my right ovary. All in all it was fairly positive. They did have me in tears during the process though when they started to discuss removal of the cyst prior to the stims which would have meant postponing the cycle by quite a few months, however one of the senior consultants got involved and he felt confident all would be ok without removing it. So it's now let's see what happens when the stims start!!

I actually awoke feeling quite awful today as I'm coming down with a cold now, which isn't ideal. So lots of rest for me I think.

Hope everyone else is well. Sorry for the lack of name checks but I'm feeling quite run down :(

Scarlett brooking you had a really good scan today x

hey!
had a mad week arranging wedding things but its all going well so far.
been thinking of u all. brooking for anyone is appointments/scans coming up or even jsut trying to warn off af.
really sorry to see things were not successful for u sweetie, take care x

Good luck scarlett and solars for your scans today!

Good luck today solars and scarlet

Brooking so hard for the scans today Solars and Scarlett good luck!

Just popping in to wish Solars and Scarlett good luck with their scans today. Brooking hard for both of you and your OHs

scarlett and solars i am starting the early brooking dance for you both. GOOD LUCK for today

sweetie, thinking of you

lovely to see bartlett, gen olives and other old smacketers.

geek, i'd call them this week too. It's been ages hasn't it, and you don't want to miss the start of another long cycle...

Just popping my head in to give a hug to Sweetie. So sorry things haven't worked this time.

Sweetie I hope the pup is keeping you distracted I'm still holding out for a brooking miracle a la Smegs style until you test I think I have to thank DH for the pma he really has been a star! Get lots of advice and information from your current clinic before moving onto another one if you do. I'm sorry you feel it was just a box standard ivf. Lots of hugs for you and glad to hear you're taking things slowly.

Geek how long has it been since you were told you were going to be referred? I'd be tempted to give them a call this week. Seagull manager sounds like a nightmare, you poor thing. Yes it is my scan tomorrow to see if downregging has been achieved. It feels like its taken forever to come around!

Maybe lots of brooking for you and MrMaybe for Thursday's FSQ. We have tickets to see Michael McIntyre too but in December!

Beedle have fun in the sun!

Oh Boo glad MrBoo can now empathise a little bit more with you!

Scarlett love, hope all is well with you.

Keep your year out in Bangkok sounds so much like our year in oz, we were in the NT and arrived in the wet season, with lots of showers and thunderstorms, we used to sit out on our balcony and just watch the skys, it was amazing! In fact DH and I were just reminiscing about our year there yesterday! I used to miss family like crazy and it was great when they came out to visit too! It'll be great when your mum comes out. I have only told parents, siblings and a couple of close cousins and friends about ivf so far. I haven't deliberately not told people but equally it's not something you kind of blurt out in a conversation and if someone asked me then I would probably tell them. I think I was suitably sociable enough for anyone to notice anything odd about me, but in my head I just wanted to be nice and relaxed at home! Hope your tummy feels better soon.

Right I've got a little bit more work to do and then I can menkul over my scan tomorrow start making supper!

Leaves a plateful of assorted nuts and dried fruits!

Ok, going to try and do a full, normal, geek-style post but may end up interrupted again - anyway, here goes!

maybe brooking like mad that your Dr in shining armour succeeds on his Find Sperm Quest. Poor MrMaybe has been so brave through all of this. It is hard on our fellas.

solars you poor love, three weeks Nearly there now though. Brooking for your scan - is this the one to show that everything has shut down, so that you are ready to start on the stims? Good luck x

scarlett So pleased you are feeling better, it sounds like you went through the whole gamut of down reg side effects so you deserve a nice easy ride from here on in. Bad MrScarlett though! I hope he now understands what he did wrong.

keep Bangkok sounds fantastic - I love thunderstorms and torrential rain (though prefer to not have to go out in it) but I would find it very hard to give up my Autumn mornings.It's a lovely idea to have your mum over while DP is away.

sparks hope you are still lurking - thinking of you loads. Any news on the Uni being honest about your position? Will you get prior consideration for any similar posts that may come up?

boo Hope you are feeling rough enough to make you feel reassured without it being too bad for you x Bad MrBoo, too, but at least he now has a better understanding of how you feel (hopefully)!

beedle you're starting to make me jealous with your talk of sunny holidays! How long now until you go?

All is just rumbling along here. I've not heard anything about my appointment, I'm going to give it until the beginning of next week then ring the Priory and find out where we are at with it just to make sure my dr did actually bother his arse to write a referral and that I've not accidentally been referred for a leg amputation or anything I'm nowhere near the 2ww. This should have been a normal length month, but things are indicating that it could well be a long one again. Currently CD22ish, temps are too low to indicate imminent ov. CBFM is really teeing me off these days. I'm back to reading the sticks manually because it insists on jumping straight to high from the first day that it asks for a stick. It really can't get the hang of my levels at all.

I can't remember who asked what it was I do I support HR/Payroll systems for my company and do minor developments and projects related to this software (among other random stuff that gets thrown my way). I'm pretty independent in what I actually do, but there are a lot of conflicting priorities at the moment. My seagull manager is not new to my company, in fact has been here three years or so, so there is no hope of his management style improving. His previous members of staff have confirmed that is just 'him'. They are grateful that he now has fresh victims my team under him, as it gives them space to get their work done.

Well, that was a good run free from interruptions, so I'll post it while the going's good! Even if I'm not posting regularly I am reading the fred every day and brooking for each and every one of you!

sweetie so sorry AF found you be kind to yourself and dont make any decisions just yet.

Ha Boo I am liking this vision. I may have to mention it to the consultant
