Eggsellent Egg Buddies! Come and join us if you're IVFing in September, October or November :-)

Buggs the paperwork is intense but you are on track now and looks as if you have all sorts of things in the mix to give you the bestest chances.

Tallulah, interesting symptoms. So hard not to notice them. I hope they keep getting stronger.

Well shitey scan no3 for me at day11. My one follicle is 11mm and looking good. Loads of tiny ones but looking too late for them to do anything. I feel like I might be mumsnets worst ever responder to ivf drugs. Given the option to cancel today or keep plodding on and as its funded we thought we might as well. I can see no good outcome here so am busy researching donor eggs and thinking of all the things I wouldn't want to pass on to my child. I feel pretty sad really.

I know it's too early for real symptoms, and anything now is in my head/the result of the drugs.

But I'm still feeling hungry/sick which is definitely not normal for me. And has been solved by strawberry milk and crumpets, neither of these a favourite food.

brooker - I'm trying to test every treatment out there! - no joy with FETs yet (and hopefully won't have to try it again...)
Val - I'm on that dosage too, let hope it's a lucky number

Oh Brooker I have taken mentalness to a whole new level. I am straitjacket/padded cell level! Congrats on your frostie.

Fingers crossed/leg uncrossed for tomorrow.

PS I tested 5dp5dt last time (and got my LittleFP which turned into a BFP). This time I have a whole bunch of cheapies and plan to pee on them from day 1 (or day 7 if they trigger me with HCG)

Hi talulah - Good idea
brooker OTD Friday 15 November 2 expanding average quality blasts put back

owl I think you should be our poster girl! You are proof that treatment can and does work. Well done with the follies -sounds like you have a nice crop there . Are you having icsi again this time?
val you're only now on the dosage I had all way through stimming Hope the final push does the trick

Afm, we had a further blast develop overnight

As there are a few of us on the 2WW now does anyone want to record test dates? I am going to start testing on the 16th, my official date isn't until the 18th though.

Talulah - OTD Monday 18th November 2 x 4cell transfer

Congrats Owl for being another person to overtake me

Iwant to 2WW is slow, but will seem like lightspeed when you find out you are pregnant and have to wait for various scans

I am up to 300iu gonal f now - back tomorrow.

Congratulations on being pupo brooker! In answer to your question my first dc was a result of clomid & IUI and my second from icsi.

Good luck iwant and talu with the 2ww. Not much longer to go.

AFM, today I had a scan and have 14 follies growing so pretty pleased with that. EC provisionally booked for Monday

Hey miss - that's brilliant. That almost never happens, ur very lucky indeed. I'm keeping everything crossed for u that it all goes smoothly for u x
Congratulations brooker . Enjoy the feeling of being PUPO.
Hi talu, hope ur doing ok despite the symptom spotting. Must admit I'm starting to get a bit bored of waiting now and can't believe I've got to wait until a week on Monday to test!! It's driving me crazy but trying desperately to keep calm and happy!! x

PUPO! PUPO! PUPO! That's for all of you ladies but brook especially for you, yay!!!!!!!

Night brooks. You're early on here tonight!

wish sorry! forgot to say, welcome back. Make sure you come up with lots of questions to ask Mr D at the follow up appointment and hope it goes really well and you can get your head around what you will do next and get a plan sorted. Nice to 'see' you back.

missm WOW! How fantastic! We need the details of your consultant! What choco said - please keep updating
llw how the hell did I miss your post yesterday? Please let us know how you're doing lovely x
val I'm willing those follies on slows down the peddling to wait for val to catch up
nobeer Forgotten the wine? You must have been busy! I order it in then I never run out - when I'm drinking that is..
rabbit really hope your ovaries have got going & you see some progress tomorrow.
talulah Here to keep you company on the menkulling! I am determined to enjoy the thought of being pregnant too though
choco good luck with the scratch tom. Don't forget the paracetamol

iwant hope you're ok? x

AFM, trying lots of positive thinking, hot milky drinks & classical music to relax . I get a call from the lab tom about the 2 remaining embies. They were not developing today so not expecting to have anything to freeze but would be amazing if they develop overnight.
Night, night all. Sleepy...zzzz

Excited for you choco - just getting back into the swing of things is quite energising.

Talulah step away from the symptom spotting Progesterone is an evil, evil drug that gives you most pregnancy symptom. When is OTD (sorry, I should know)?

Rabbit I have everything crossed for tomorrow. As people keep saying it really does only take one. I am day 15 today.

Miss what fantastic news. The stuff my dreams are made of :)

miss that's amazing news - congrats! Certainly not offended, lovely to hear a success story. Please keep us posted

brooker so happy for you that you're PUPO and 2 blasts -brilliant.

val good to see things are improving with those follies.

rabbit everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Last minute hot water bottle action?

talulah boo to the symptom spotting - it's inevitable though, isn't it? Try to enjoy the PUPO feeling.

AFM, scratch is tomorrow and then an appointment for DR injection and will go through the schedule. Feeling excited . I could be PUPO in 4 weeks!

Just a quick one tonight...

brooker Huge congratulations on being PUPO, when are you due to test? And two blastos on board - twins could be a real possibility :)

val congratulations on your scan, sounds like things are growing well.

rabbit I hope your follies growth matches vals will keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

miss that is truly amazing luck, you jammy thing. I hope things continue to go well for you.

nobeer how's things with you?

iwant how are you doing?

I am mainly symptom spotting at the moment, despite the fact I know it's all down to the drugs I'm on... I have some cramping (very minor) feel a bit sleepy/zoned out at times, and even had a bit of nausea this morning and evening. That's due to my vitamin tablet and then playing on my phone in the car though I think. I keep on trying to relax and to enjoy the knowledge I could be pregnant, but it's hard when I just want to fast forward the next few weeks.

Brooker congratulations. May your wait be quick and with a happy ending!

Miss - wow! That's the kind of dr everyone needs

Val - that sounds amazing to me! How many days stimms now? Really, I think that all sounds v promising indeed. I'm resigned to there being no progress tomorrow and feeling pretty scared about it. Some of your follies grew very fast!

brooker somehow we've forgotten to buy ! I demanded suggested we get a bottle at the weekend. I'll definitely need it by then.

Miss! That's bloody amazing!! I hope that happens to me every single month, I'm well and truly delighted for you. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

brooker I'm doing that visualisation thing on your embryos for you, willing them to implant and grow! I'm not really an old hippy

Couple of 9s, couple of 8s, several 7s and 10 smaller ones so still not much going on in the grand scheme of things. Back on Friday....

Congrats Brooker thanks for sprinting ahead and buggering off cycle buddy

Ladies I'm PUPO! Had 2 blasts put back (quality only fair but so happy to have got this far).
Hope everything goes ok with the scans val & rabbit xx

Hello again, hope everyone is OK. I've been trying to keep up a bit more.

Tallulah and IWant congrats on being PUPO and I hope you are coping with the almighty stress levels it brings.

Rabbit and Vall I hope your next scans bring more positive news.

Wish I've not been around much so only just read about your ET- so sorry for the result, you must be absolutely gutted. I hope your next appt helps with planning your next stage.

And finally Brooker very best of luck for today, is it morning or afternoon? I hope you don't have to wait too long (especially in full bladder agony!).

AFM: after last week's positive appointment with a new consultant I have decided actually he was some sort of miracle worker because somehow I have managed to get pregnant naturally! I had my usual few days spotting last week but rather than turning into AF it then stopped, so I tested on Monday and couldn't believe my eyes. Given what happened with my IVF BFP in early Sept (late to show and short lived) I waited until after testing again this morning before believing it, but the line has darkened significantly so looks good at this, very early, stage. So I've started on the left over pessaries and will try to get more prescribed today. After what happened last time I am feeling very cautious about it all.....

I was in 2 minds about posting on here as this seems so ridiculously lucky so I hope no-one is offended. I will keep an eye on you all and hope and pray for the best of outcomes.

Evening all!
How is everyone tonight? me? I'm stressing ever so slightly
owl thanks for sharing. It definitely helps to hear success stories. Hope you don't mind me asking, was dc1 conceived naturally?
val good luck tomorrow. Hope those slow varies show some signs of responding.
iwant planning on putting 2 back if we have them. My fear tonight is that none will survive How's the menkulling going? Hope you're managing some relaxation x
choco I'm doing my best to wish the days & weeks away for you. When is the scratch-is it this week?
rabbit I'm willing those follies on for you. I can only imagine how pissed you must be feeling Can't help with the nhs deivf funding I'm afraid.
nobeer hope you're able to chill with a after all that hard work. Phew!
talulah those pesky pessaries! Are you using them front or back? I started with them on Friday & definitely prefer up the rear. As for the knicker watching - do not trust anything your body is up to. There are too many mixed signals caused by the pessaries. Remember you are PUPO. Sending massive sticky vibes x
wish it's good to see you Glad you're feeling stronger. Cycling knocks the wind out of your sails for sure. I'm already in need of a break! What's making you want a fresh cycle rather than a FET?
bugs good luck with your appointment on Thursday fx you won't need it though
Hi to everyone else x
