I'm all annoyed with myself now Confused have left it too late to get a scratch this cycle and need a fresh clamydia test result too. Next month won't work as transfer/results will be around D's birthday which I don't want as it could potentially destroy me Hmm The month after would be mid August and we'll be on holiday, so wouldn't be able to have scratch until September for October transfer! Seems too far away. And I'm kicking myself for being an idiot and procrastinating over it allBlush

Am currently 12dpo and due to ring clinic as soon as I come on (should be late Weds I reckon). Stupid of me, but I can't help wondering what if... (was on 100mg Clomid, had ridiculous response with 6 mature follies which consultant reckoned were possibly all viable eggs). Pretty certain I ovulated overnight the day after seeing consultant. We'd DTD 48ish hours earlier, though haven't since (was very strongly advised not to). I know in my heart I am probably just symptom spotting things which aren't anything: first time ever my boobs don't hurt pre-AF (body effing with my head for no reason), terribly emotional (but friend has just had a baby) and funny tummy (I blame DH's roast lamb for this one TBH...). Not to mention it would save a helluva lot of diesal Grin. Ah well. We'll see I guess.

resipsa · 19/05/2014 10:47

One/hanging - you are right but I am not thinking about that possibility presently (and beginning to regret my joy at winding up DH about the prospect after he failed to accompany me to ET)!

How are you? Going for it again? You know my view - JUST DO IT!

Hangingwiththeraisingirls · 19/05/2014 10:44

Congratulations res! Am I right in thinking you had two put back after a FET so could be twins??

Xxx (Onelittlebugbear) have been lurking for a while!

cheapredwine · 19/05/2014 10:40

Cups good luck today, got everything crossed for you

cheapredwine · 19/05/2014 10:38

Res Fabulous news, bloody well done you!

resipsa · 19/05/2014 09:51

Turq - my earlier meassge to you didn't post - don't know why.

How're you doing? The SIL's pregnancy is so badly timed but once it's out (the baby, I mean), I hope that it'll be easier for you to be with her.

And to answer your question below, nope, no scratch for me. The retained placenta pull-out and the next year's ERPC were enough for me - no one else is getting in there for a while (esp DH).

vallinnapod · 19/05/2014 09:00

Wooohooooo Res!!!!! This process turns you into a complete nutter. Huge hugs!

Cups everything crossed for today.

I knew it! I am soooo glad you were wrong! I am really happy for you and Mr Res (but especially you) Thanks

Bearsandhoney · 19/05/2014 07:13

Stars. Book. Your. Scratch!

I had mine on day 3, and had the cycle so its not too late. Xx

Bearsandhoney · 19/05/2014 07:12

Cups: good luck with egg collection today my dear. Hope there are lots of great quality eggs for you. Xx

Bearsandhoney · 19/05/2014 07:11

Res, SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile so happy for you!!!!! (and delighted that on this occasion you were wrong). It just goes to prove that you never really know until you test and shows what a roller coaster ride this truly is. Congratulations on your BFP (well deserved and thoroughly worked hard for). Wishing up a very smooth and worry free pregnancy .

I've not been on for a little while, only cos life seems to have taken over a bit. Sorry! I need to catch up properly so ill be back on later. Love to all the fabulous egg buddies. You're amazing! Xxx

Turquoisetamborine · 19/05/2014 07:09

Sorry res not cups!!

Turquoisetamborine · 19/05/2014 07:08

Did you have a scratch Res?

Val hoping your scan goes well. Let us know.

Turquoisetamborine · 19/05/2014 07:07

Aaaarrrrrhhggghjjj! Cups !!! We were all worried. I'm fucking over the moon for you. Fantastic!!

resipsa · 19/05/2014 06:55

Val - in case I get side-tracked later, will be thinking of you at scan tomorrow if they let you out to attend...

resipsa · 19/05/2014 06:54

Stars - so, when have you booked that scratch for, my dear? Wink

Go on, let me spur you on!

resipsa · 19/05/2014 06:51

Jodie - how're you doing? Hope you retain the plot better than me.

resipsa · 19/05/2014 06:49

Cups - wishing you a smooth EC today. You're nearly there.

resipsa · 19/05/2014 06:48

Hello all.

Well, you were right and I was wrong (which are not words I write or speak often!).

It's a BFP here, even with the notoriously crappy cassette tests which my clinic provides.

5 weeks 3 days. And counting. Breathe...
Grin

justjodie92 · 18/05/2014 12:58

I'm 8 days past transfer now. Clinic want me to test on Thursday so that will have been 12 days after transfer.

I didn't have a scratch done. Doesn't sound too pleasant though!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 18/05/2014 08:00

Good luck for Tuesday Val, those Gestone injections sound like right evil bastards. Is that instead of progesterone? I better not complain about the bum bullets then. Grin At your over active cervix!

Stars get that scratch booked missy!

I had my scratch under GA as they did a scope as well and woke up in agony and was given morphine Blush It was so embarrassing the anaesthetist kept saying she had never had to give so much pain relief for that procedure. I don't think I have a low pain threshold so maybe I've just got super sensitive lady bits!

Jodie how many dpt is your OTD? My clinic makes you wait 16-18 days even after a 5dt which is ridiculous. I tested at 11dp3dt last time and I was going crazy for a good week before that.

Trigger done, can't believe I've got a fucker free day woo!

Val, you made me giggle! I reckon our poor cervix's were having a protest!!!

Jodie, it's like a smear in a way but they remove/scratch some of your womb lining away, the cycle before transfer. Last bit of 2ww is sooo mental and slow, I feel for you. How many dpt are you now?

justjodie92 · 17/05/2014 22:29

Hi stars and everyone,

2WW is passing slowly!!! 5 days to go!

What's a scratch??
