The Angry Pubes of Bumsnet

Aww thank you purdie I was hoping you would give me a talking to about my follicles ha ha! Yes I think I have read before about low stimms with czech clinics but I don't know I just had in my mind say 12 follciles so that I had a bit of room for a few less eggs to actually be collected but still have about 8 altogether but we will see. Unfortunately Reprofit don't offer embryoscope at the moment. However if by some miracle we had a few to choose from on day 5 we might go for the acgh chromosome testing so that we know we have a good one or maybe put 2 back in just as I won't be able to wait any longer and have any left overs tested but from the sounds of things frosties are few and far between as they have to reach a very high standard before the clinic will freeze them.

So the plan is we will spend the first few days in Brno until my egg collection, then possibly a day trip to Bratislavia and then we are booked to spend 2 nights in Prague and then back to Brno the night before transfer. It is very exciting but also terrifying as we still have so many stages that us and the embryos need to get through. I will keep you posted though on how many eggs they collect and the development. I think we ring on day 1 and 3 to check progress and then in on 5 for transfer. Please let this be it!!!

If shaving was a prerequisite in this house there would be very little DTD.

It's DH's brother Purdie he has been promising to pay back and they are very close. He will be putting one of his houses up for sale as he owes quite a bit of money to a few people and has said he will pay us off.

Just skimmed over last couple of days. Congratulations vic

I've had bad cramps the last two days but too early for AF. I'm wondering whether it could be the ttc tablet as I just started taking it the end of last week? Before that was on folic acid only. Anyone else had this?

Glitter I need to shave all too. At a later date I think...! Don't care what Trunchbull has to see on Thurs!! You are almost at dtd time.. Half way there!!

That's the plan for me to Melon. Every other day. No OPK's. No temping. Just lots of spermatozoa!

Oh blimey purds why did he spunk into your morning brew cup? Lol

How are you diddling sparkly? Thinking of ya.

Hope everyone else is good. I'm on CD5. Horny but can't be arsed to shave me fanny. Or legs. Or tash. Or chin. Hahaha

Woooo Purds for spermies!

Melon yes! Get that BFP girl!

Melon, nowt wrong with that plan cock.

My sperm has arrived. Well...I say sperm but a more apt description would be wallpaper paste clinging to the sides of the cup - and not just any cup: MY cup. The one I have my morning brew in. It's going to take at least a week for that lardy spunk to liquefy. Dying to know how many mls are currently sliding down the sides.

Also, plan for next cycle is dtd every 2/3 days which should have us covered without the science! Look at me I sound like one of the JS-ers!

Don't worry P I knew what you meant, taken only with best wishes

...or would that be a rickshaw?

heir, how do you know about my penchant for smashing a gavel? You like dem pants? Are they not a bit Bangladeshi bandwagon?

Eskimo I know you must be so frustrated. You really are doing such a good job of keeping it together. Now listen, you are on the home stretch to answers now. Things are moving. You must must keep strong and positive, it will be so hard but I know you can do it! Once this pill is over you will get your bleed, and your HSG and the scan is done and dusted so you are gonna have a lot of new information- whether it's ruling things out or not, these are all big steps forward after waiting so long. You can do this! I would say what with easter hols etc that your result for scan would take a bit longer.. Which I know is hard. Just focus on one bit at a time, get through this next couple days,hopefully this bleed will happen and you will get your HSG. And then you will have information!! Glorious information that is going to get you closer to your baba. We are all here, anytime you feel low vent to us and we will try and pull you up again. Remember- you may not be where you want to be as yet but you are definitely further forward than you were before.

Aaaaargh! Melons I didn't mean to patronise you. I'm sorry. I just think that, with cycles currently ranging from 27-39 days, you could minimise the stress by charting. If you love sex and have no need to focus it around ov then once you don't need to chart unless you like to know when your period is coming

No jizz delivered yet. I checked my cervix before and it felt rather firm and not high. How soon after an egg is released does the cervix shut up shop?

Eskimo I love you. Now jack that silly 'job' thingy in and come back here full time. And stop going to forrin weddings.

Heir

Thanks Rice it's Thursday morning now so another day to wait..

I am only popping in to tell Purdie that you MUST buy those amazing pants gavel

Rainy exactly. Your friend is so right. You are on the path lovely!! Maybe it is hormones but it could also be the emotional strain of TTC month after month. Don't give yourself a hard time, you are gonna get there! And all this will be a distant memory when you are sitting there with your newborn! Promise!

purple so confusing eh?! Make up your minds! Sorry you are lot feeling so well hope you are better soon

Ha ha Woollywonder thank you but honestly. I think I'm tearing my hair out a bit now.. Tomor is going to be interesting!... Unfortunately illogical pangs of hope are creeping in and stupid googling of "heaving bleeding after BFP" I need one of those TWW slaps !!!

Lucie I'm so excited for you .. Purdie has painted a wonderful picture of IVF experience abroad! I so so hope everything is just as magical for you. Baby time my lovely! Positive thoughts to you!

Purds hope your sample is on route to you!! Hello OV ! I remember you telling us about the embryoscope and now it's not always used everywhere. I noticed today when looking at private clinics here that one of them uses it. Which I thought was pretty good for Scotland! Ha

Almost forgot Chops Don't leave us! You have a wealth of fertility knowledge and experience that people on here will find invaluable, plus, we would miss you. Stick around- you're more than welcome. I think that the thing that people can't bear is a discussion of pregnancy symptoms and comments, but you totally get that, right? And if you aren't ready to leave us yet, then you shouldn't have to. You have the next nine months to find an AN thread when you feel happy and more confident to do so.

purds I can't believe the smug, spitefulness of someone who should be enjoying their own happiness. I'm glad you reported her. Oh and I hope the footie doesn't delay your love juice too much longer!
sparkly crossing everything for positive news for you tomorrow
chops ammmmaaazzzzziiinggg news
night sorry about your grandma

Purdie love- WTF?! Unhinged is certainly the right word. How very peculiar that someone feels the need to send a poisonous private message? In the same breath, how lucky that she sent it to you, and that you are secure and confident enough in yourself to simply ignore it and recognise that she is clearly not 'firing on all cylinders'

Nomio Have you got an appointment coming up soon?

And who is it with the scan at the weekend? Good luck!

Melon Really hope this is it for you!

Sparkly How are you my lovely? All of your medical advice sounds conflicting and confusing. I hope you are bearing up ok.

Lucie Best of luck!

I am on a downer again. Have two more days of the prog pill to take. It seems to be dragging on. I feel bad for mentioning it, as people are definitely putting my problems into perspective tonight, but I just wish my cycle would do something. At the moment, I don't know where I am or what's going on. I just want a small window of opportunity every month where DH and I can have a shot at getting preggers. Is that too much to ask? Stopped the pill in November and apart from the withdrawal bleed then and the Norethisterone in January, I've had nothing. Because of that bleed in Jan, MyDays is saying I'm on CD81, but I can't use that, as, as far as I'm concerned I haven't had a 'real' period for about 16 years! Sorry for the rant. I will be more positive tomorrow. Just needed a moan.

Also, I had my U/S on the 1st April and haven't heard anything from the consultant. Should I have heard anything? I am on the waiting list for the HSG and FX if everything goes well and I have a bleed next week, I will call them and get that booked for CD7/10. Should I wait until I've had that to pester them and the U/S?
