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

one. After EC you should not be alone, boiling a kettle or doing anything like making dinner. Sorry but he's been an arse and you can tell him I said so.

Yay time xx

Time this is amazing news, huge huge congratulations!

Bugs hope all goes okay today for the egg transfer

Pip look after yourself this weekend, you need spoiling.

One I'm with Bugs, your DH should be looking after you. Go on strike please. Get on that sofa and refuse to move. He's a big boy I'm sure he can make his own dinner (and yours), you have enough to cope with. I hope it's good news this morning re fertilisation and that you can speak to someone soon re the diabetes. It seems really rubbish that they are so uncontactable.

Bad this is exciting!!!!

I'm most cross about the state of the kitchen! Would it have killed him to put the plates in the dishwasher and the salt and pepper away? Really?!

Plus we will hopefully get the call from the embryologist this morning about fertilisation which I will now be taking on my own.
Strange considering he was the one that pushed us into ivf in the first place.

Just popping in to mark my place to keep an eye on you all and wishing for more BFPs!

And there is one time congrats!!!

bad FX that line gets darker!

that's great news Time!

time x x

Dh has buggered off to play golf leaving me with ds. He also has neglected to put last night's plates in the dishwasher or tidy the kitchen - I cooked last night but didn't have anything myself and went to bed. Felt bit drowsy after EC.
I'm really cross. Thank god for you lot else id drown I think.

Thank you! Wow - what a morning. I've been up since 4, woke up needing to wee and knew I couldn't avoid testing forever.

I have a headache, backache and mild nausea, but feeling on top of the world! It's a long way from here to a baby, but it's good/amazing/unbelievable/fantastic to finally feel like I've passed the starting gate.

Hurrah for Time. That's wonderful news and given me such hope.

Bad sounds so exciting. When is OTD?

Reps. Thanks for asking. This weekend is going to be hard I think. I'm bleeding very heavily and I'll be at home with nothing to take my mind off it except the cat and writing reports!

Congratulations Time!

Bad I also think you'd get another darker line, ESP with fmu.

Afm I cannot get my blood sugar down. It's twice what it should be. It hasn't come down since I had the steroids yesterday. It could also be the progesterone but I've only had one so it seems more likely it is the steroid at the moment. Or both. I need to get hold of someone on my diabetes team but I've tried three times last week to no avail and they won't be in now until Monday.
God, this would be a million times easier without the diabetes. Still not easy of course but the too high / too low worry wouldn't be there.
Usually I take 18u of insulin a day. I had 33 yesterday and only ate half a piece of toast all day. Usually I'd be through the floor and incredibly low with that amount of insulin. Psychologically it's really hard to take that much insulin when usually it would cause me to be low.

Bad, you are strong! Once I'd tested and got a feint line, I'd have to test each day til test day to make sure the line was getting darker!!!! I have everything crossed for you that by tomorrow it'll be a nice dark line This thread is becoming a very bfp'ish one. Up bum, yes baby a go go!

Time. Woohoo. You deserve this Bfp honey!! Congratulations xx

Hey Res - I'm on Q Pootle 5! Or I think that's what it's called.

I'm going to test again tomorrow, I think. You are right - am enjoying this feeling too much. I feel so much better that I know it won't be ectopic this time, whatever happens. I am much less swollen today which is great!

And well done, Time, for lasting so long to test! I tested yesterday at 4pm at 6dp5dt and got a v faint line. Am now too scared to do it again in case it has disappeared. Mind you, I have been up since 6am with my DS who always gets up far earlier at the weekend than during the week - grrrrr - and am struggling to drink my coffee which is most unusual for a caffeine addicted old teacher like me.

Yay Time! Soooo pleased for you! Absolutely brilliant news!

And to say that I've finally tested at 12dp5dt - BFP!! OH MY GOD. Four years, three ivfs, one round of cervical cancer later - finally!!

Long way to go still, but I'm very happy. I started to believe my body simply didn't know how to be pregnant.

It was more because I didn't want people asking and offering sympathy.

People who conceived without fertility problems can't understand, it isn't their fault but they can't. I just thought people will be asking if I "know" yet and I will want to smack them.

Oh, and damn near everyone I know knows that we are doing it.
I have nothing to be ashamed of and it stops people saying things and putting their foot in it.
