Eggcellent egg buddies - a thread for all those IVFing in January, February and March - Volume 2

One your husband is being a fuckwit. I remember your first posts under your previous nn when you really had some serious doubts about having IVF because of possible complications with your diabetes. Sorry to be so plain speaking but he makes my blood boil. Please please only do another cycle if you want to. It's your body. I think I mentioned months ago that I have some pre-existing conditions too, so I certainly understand the stress and worries you've had over meds interracting, side effects etc. But in my case the IVF decision has always been a joint decision and DP has always said that it's my body so my decision is final.

Apologies for the rant, but I really feel for you.

That good to know vall she did say mine are small but I have 4 on one side so it's quite worrying. Do they all equal one biggun? I've only been on Buserelin which they think is the cause of the cysts. I thought the medication was meant to help, not cause problems

Sorry for the self absorbed posts x

I'm not um. Damn predictive texting

Um itching val. Just so didn't need to know that!

Wish really hoping your appointment tomorrow goes your way

Wish I had several quite large corpus luteum. Probably as I cycled so close together. They did an E2 test and I was good to go. Have you been on the pill recently? My consultant reckons it levels your hormones so even if there are cysts you should be OK.

Thanks turquoise. If my oestrogen is too high they will either keep me on Buserelin to see if my Oestrogen levels go down or abandon the cycle. Im not feeling confident nothing ever goes my way

Wishwash, I'm not sure what that means about the cysts. Does that mean they may abandon the cycle? If so, I'm really hoping that doesn't happen. Hope it all sorts itself out.

Bugs, good luck for tomorrow. We're all rooting for you.

So know how you feel "Bugs". Keeping absolutely everything for you crossed. Let us know how you get on.

Well res I was actually Feeling ok. Not really one way or the other. Then a woman at work announced her pregnany today and then there came the call with the proluton injection and it has made me feel really uncertain. Although why someone announcing that they are pregnant should have any influence on my FET is beyond logic.

Sorry for not posting recently but have been trying to Keep away from the Internet and Dr. Google. Have no idea what has been going on the last couple of days and I am not even going to try to catch up - can't believe how fast this post moves!

one and bugs hope that the 2ww is almost over for you soon.

Wave to everyone else

AFM I am now 5dp5dt and trying really really hard not to think too hard about things. Went back to the clinic today to get my Hormone Levels checked and had to go back in for a big stingey fucker proloton jab and will Need them twice a week now until OTD. Trying not to read too much into but failing. If it was all lost I am sure they wouldn't bother but if my Hormone Levels aren't up to scrath then it certainly isn't going to help things. Still, there's nothing I can do about it so am just going to sit it out.

Oh no, Wish - I bet you are. So sorry to hear that.

One - you should definitely get your DH to speak directly to the consultant. Or get him to read a book about it? I have one I can post to you if you personally message me your address? It's called 'The complete Guide to IVF' by Kare Brian. It's pretty user-friendly. I tried (and failed!) to get my DP to read it .

Hello to everyone else. X

Turquoise I'm in the middle of an FET although...

I've just got back from my scan to see if my lining is thin enough which it is but I have a small cyst on my right ovary and 4 small cysts on my left ovary. They've taken my bloods to see if my oestrogen is high and I'll find out tomorrow. I'm gutted....

I remember you keep! Thanks for the congrats.

congrats to you too Bugs. I'm so pleased for you!

One, perhaps the consultant can discuss this with him. He might listen to him??! My DS came from 8 eggs collected and not all fertilised! I've had 15 and 21 since and not a hint of a pregnancy!! Definitely quality over quantity.

Argh. Just spoken to dh and he said:

If I don't get at least 15 eggs out of the bastards (meaning the clinic) next time I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Argh. Just argh. Have tried to explain 15 eggs or more doesn't equal success if they are rubbish, just as 5 doesn't equal failure if they are good.

Turquoise I think heroin addicts have more babies as they have more high risk sex! Don't get stressed about relaxing. :)

From what I hear stress doesn't impact fertility directly, it's more that if you are stressed it impacts your sex life - i.e. you do the deed less. Acupuncturists are obsessed with stress though.

bugger hope the cramps are a good sign. I had lot of cramps in the 2ww, but it's been mainly calm since.

bunny that's brilliant news.

bugs hang on in there. I had really bad cramps this time - they woke me up.

one your husband seems pretty ill informed. More does not always mean better. It is about quality as well. And with your diabetes as a complicating factor, pumping your body full of drugs might be counterproductive. And after all, it is you that has to go through it.

wish I thought brown blood was just slower (and therefore older by the time you see it). My period starts off brown for an hour or so, then lots of red and then turns brown as it starts to tail off. I thought that pattern was pretty normal. My period after the scratch was long and painful - I had more days of brown at the end than normal.

keep I am certainly in denial. Aw a lovely girl. I'm so happy for you. Congratulations.

hi all I don't know if any of you remember me back from the first gee egg buddies threads, but motor said there was a run of bfps so I came for a look! my ivf babu girl is 13 weeks and currently asleep on my chest

euro!!! I'm so pleased for you. gosh nearly 12 weeks that's fantastic. I assume you're in denial as usual but that's just great.

congratulations to twinks Bunny and others too. I hope you have wonderful stress free pregnancies stress free yeah right!

waves to valinna x

Track of not tracking. That sounded weird.

I don't know anything about brown blood wishwash. Sorry. If your symptoms are different though that must be a good thing. Are you going through ivf now? I can't keep tracking everyone. Those signatures you get on fertility friends would be handy on this thread so we know everyone's history.

On another note, my acupuncturist told me last night that heroin addicts have high fertility rates, probably because they are so relaxed. I have to say i do see a lot of heroin addicts at work who have had multiple babies. So maybe it's true. I'm trying hard to relax now, might pass on the heroin though.
