Hi Beetle. It's next Tuesday!

Sorry all for brief self- absorbed post before!

Tame - sorry again to read your news. Hope you and DH are coping. Lick your wounds and let us know when you have A Plan.

Cups - speechless. Beyond rude and insensitive, in fact, quite weird. Clearly a social inadequate Smile.

BeetlingAbout · 06/05/2014 13:18

When is otd day Res? Will you be testing early? Sending loads of sticky wishes.

resipsa · 06/05/2014 12:28

Val.

In John Lewis with DD enjoying chocolate cake in feeble attempt to distract myself from the fact that I'm 6 days post 5 day ET and think it's all over. Of course, every other woman in here is pregnant...

eurochick · 06/05/2014 11:43

Tame I'm so sorry.

Cups there is someone lucky enough never to have had to consider the pain of infertility (and pretty dim to boot).

Turquoisetamborine · 06/05/2014 10:44

Moon face, I know how depressing it is when everyone is pregnant but you. I saw my preg SIL yesterday (who sent me a scan picture on the day I got my IVF BFN. She was really awkward with me. Just treat me normally for Gods sake. I'm not after stealing your baby. I've got six nieces and nephews and love them all. If my son is going to be an only then I'm grateful he has so many cousins and probably lots to come.

I'm just waiting for AF now if it's going to be a normal length cycle, probably not. I feel quite sane at the moment. I was really depressed after my last cycle and I'm sad I'm going to have to go through it all again with probably nothing at the end of it.

Roll on Friday eh! I'm off today anyway. Off to the garden I go.

BeetlingAbout · 06/05/2014 09:27

cups, I meant that to say it may seem irrational... it won't to us as we all know.

I think there is a baby boom at the moment. Where I live is popular with families and everywhere I turn there is a massive pregnant belly...hmmph... stupid efficient cervixes...

BeetlingAbout · 06/05/2014 09:23

cups, well done on surviving the christening! and hurrah for AF turning up on time. All systems go now! With regards to your preggo friend, it may be irrational but you need to do whatever helps you and makes this all easier. If she isn't someone that you value that much, then just stepping back from the friendship might be better for all.

I've been lucky that none of my friends have gotten pregnant in the three years we've been ttc, and only one good friend has a child already. I know a few are starting to try now though, and I am worried about how hard it will be if I have another miscarriage.

stars how are you? And res? Also if fab and fish are lurking at all, I'm thinking of you.

I wish I could scroll back on my phone without losing this message, I know I'm missing loads Confused

BeetlingAbout · 06/05/2014 09:11

tame, I'm so sorry that the cycle didn't work. I too think that immunes sounds like the logical next step in investigations. I hope you find some answers soon to make sense of it all. It feels so sad that our own bodies can be so against us.

vallinnapod · 06/05/2014 08:17

Yay Cups! Hope the clinic call goes well.

Res - how goes it?

starsandmoonandback · 06/05/2014 08:10

Cups, unbelievable some people! Well done for just walking away!

Nobeer, jealous of your hot weather! And your reason for expanding waistbands! Lol. Mine has expanded but not for the right reason! Wink

Moon, so hard when all around you seem to be having babies left right and centre Hmm

Tame, how are you today honey?

Really sorry to read your news tame xx

nobeer · 05/05/2014 22:05

Tame good luck tomorrow with your appointment. Hope you find some way forward.

Cups How rude was that woman! And glad AF has rocked up Smile

Nice weekend thanks, our bank holiday was last week so back to work today. Hotting up here, so I need to go summer clothes shopping garments must have an attractive elasticated waist and be comfortable

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 05/05/2014 20:14

I forgot the most important part! AF turned up after lunch so I'll be calling the clinic to request treatment in the morning Smile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 05/05/2014 20:12

Tame I'm so sorry it wasn't better news. Thinking of you x

I survived the christening Smile we did get cross examined by a nosy woman who asked us outright if we had children. When we said no her response was "Why" Shock she literally didn't say anything else! I didn't answer and just excused myself and DH. That goes in my top 5 inappropriate comments while ttc. Otherwise it was a lovely day.

Moon I completely sympathise on the everyone is pregnant front. I've got 4 close friends due in august, it's getting a bit much. One is my best friend and an instadiffer. Ive somehow got myself embroiled in doing a baby shower for her Blush I don't feel too bad about her pregnancy as she has been a brill friend over all this ttc crap. On the other hand I'm really struggling with one of my other friends pregnancies so much to that it's caused major arguments between DH and I and I'm not sure I can continue the friendship Sad I'm probably being unreasonable but I can't seem to change the way I'm feeling about it.

How has everyone's weekend gone?

starsandmoonandback · 05/05/2014 08:29

I'm so sorry Tame. It's all so so unfair. Sending hugs and strength to get through however long it takes. Hmm Definitely get immune tests done next. It might be an answer. Take care x

How was the christening cups? Not too over run with babies I hope...

Moonfacesmother · 04/05/2014 18:13

Sorry Tame, this infertility and subsequent treatment is so cruel. I have nothing to say that will help I know but I have been thinking of you. Xxxxx

Yes - I was previously Onelittlebugbear. Now considering a second cycle in June although I don't feel optimistic. I think we will end up needing donor eggs or sperm or possibly just donor embryos which will mean going abroad. I'm so fed up. It's all just so hard. In the next few weeks I have six friends due to give birth, two on my birthday! Baby after baby after baby. It does feel like the universe is rubbing my face in it a bit tbh.
Facebook is also tipping me over the edge. I think a combination of pmt, dh being a prick and the injustice of the whole situation is really getting to be this weekend. Nothing nice ever happens, it's one miserable turn of events after another.

Bearsandhoney · 04/05/2014 18:01

Really very sorry to hear your news Tame. I don't think there is anything I can say but am sending you lots of love and a big virtual hug. I do think immune testing is worth a shot. I started reading de beers: is your body baby friendly and thought it very interesting. It was to be my next port of call. It might be expensive but if there is an issue it will be worth it. The other thing you should consider is the pgs testing. Hope you are bearing up ok. Thinking of you. Xxx

nobeer · 03/05/2014 19:12

tame I'm so so sorry my love. I hope you get some answers from the clinic. That price is good btw, cetainly cheaper than here in Spain. Think we paid around 3000 for ours but I'll try to remember to check later. xx

Afternoon lovely egg buddies Smile

I've been having a little break from mumsnet but check this thread every now & again to silently cheer you all on.

tame I was around last year when you had your previous cycles. To say I'm gutted for you is a huge understatement. I'm so terribly sorry to hear you're going through this again. I too was really hopeful that this cycle would be the one. Big hugs.
I'm currently under-going tests for repeated implantation (5 blasts transferred over 3 cycles & not a whiff of a BFP). I read that you've had the NK cells test - I'm due to have that in a few weeks, but I've also given loads of blood for other immunes testing (including thyroid & karyotype for me & DH). PM me if you would like any details.
