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

Turquoise - I think the Cyclogest bum
Bullets can delay your period on IVF, but somebody else can probably confirm this for me.

Nobeer - it's great that you will be getting your results and that your DH will be there too.

Hope everybody is well today. X

Not always because the hormones can stop you getting your period.

Ooh exciting Bugs and One, hope those lines get darker. I don't think I would have the nerve to test early. I used to throw tests in the wheelie bin before the three mins were up so I didn't have to see another BFN.

Can I ask a silly question? Do you not just get a period anyway before test date if you aren't pregnant or is your cycle on ivf not like that? I'd rather see a period than have a sympathetic nurse tell me it failed.

I'm not surprised nobeer I would be too. Think it's a really good idea that you are going together. It's difficult understanding everything you're being told in English let alone in another language. Really hope that the results will help you to move forward. If you know what I mean

I think I will leave it now, it was barely barely there so I think it would be gone by tomorrow and definitely by Sunday. If I test on Monday (otd is Friday) with a sensitive test I should be ok.
I'm not expecting a bfp anyway, I'm definitely expecting a bfn!

I don't like those "is it a line" threads. They annoy me. But basically anything where people get pregnant easily and then post pictures of the success annoys me. Also annoying is my friend who told everyone that the dr said she couldn't have children has just had her fourth baby, and it transpires that she grossly exaggerated. The dr said she might find it harder to conceive. He did not tell her she would never have children which is what she originally said.

Hi MaryP I'll find out in March! I've just changed the appointment so DP can be there too, don't want anything lost in translation. I'm a bit nervous tbh.

Someone who was on the same 'waiting to TTC for the first time' thread as me back in autumn 2011 has an 'ooh is it really a line' thread, for baby #2. Fuck!

I've just attempted to cook a nice healthy dinner and it is utterly disgusting so am now wolfing down pasta with butter and cheese. Oh well it is Friday who gives a stuff.

All quite exciting on here tonight, I feel like a total voyeur refreshing repeatedly. Don't really know what to say bugs but hope the line stays. one are you going to test the trigger out completely and do another test tomorrow or just leave it at that?

I wanted to know the trigger had gone, I know it's not a bfp, I'm only 4dp a 3dt. It's negative really anyway, the line is so faint I'm not sure if I've got line eyes!

Hi nobeer was just thinking of tug this evening & wondering how you got on with your tests.

One & bugs nobeer is right. Keep away from those tests!

Well done on PUPOness MaryP

Bugs and One please step away from the tests. I know the 2ww is torture but just watch a gripping series or something to distract you. Until OTD I will have my fingers crossed for you.

res I might be with you in March, but might not. I've just heard from Immunologist and got an appointment re my blood tests at the end of Feb. So I guess things will start moving in March.

I have tested because I didn't want to be left out and there is the faintest of lines (so faint have to hold it to the light). It's 9 dpt so at least I know that the trigger should be out of my system from tomorrow I would say. I think I will carry on getting bfns but at least I won't get a false positive now.

My embie was 4 cells on Sunday afternoon but still only 6 cell my 11am on Monday which I think means it has slowed down which can't be good.

Bugs sounds hopeful! Xx

Yay Bugs! I do t think it's the trigger! My line was as faint as anything but is much stronger now. The Superdrug tests are great. I would be cautiously optimistic!!

Brilliant one! Btw did you used to be called something else before or am I getting you mixed up with sometime else?

DH is taking DS to MIL for the weekend do I have two while days of doing sweet fa. Bliss! Btw my Dr said something funny. He have us the picture of the embryo after they had done the transfer & tools me to keep looking at it. Apparently it helps the immune system realise that it shouldn't attack it.

Keeping everything crossed bugs!

I doubt it's trigger.
I hope it's the start of your bfp! X

It's too soon bug. Seriously. Wait another couple of days x x

Wannabe - do it! Put 'my bubba' as the caption underneath.

You must have nerves of steel Res
Bugs just do what you need to do. We're here for you
One I know its tricky & a complete head fuck

I had one frostie put back. The Dr said that it had defrosted really well & had started to continue to develop so fingers crossed. OTD is 21 Feb.
I was given a pic of my embie & seriously considering putting it on fb

The trouble is the first weeks loads happens and then after transfer you're abandoned during the 2ww with no appointments to distract you and basically nothing you can do to change the outcome.

Bug it would be too early to feel at ectopic. Normally people don't get symptoms until about 6 weeks so it's not that. Put that to one side and don't worry about it x x
