For the small group of ladies still here from the original February bus from 2020.

Maybe 2022 is when we finally get our babies?

@Juno231 I had already said to work I'll need Monday or Tuesday off but wasn't sure. Luckily they are ok and said that was fine just put it through when you know. (I didn't say why).
DH booked Monday off on Friday. He emailed them and just said I've a last minute medical procedure booked and that I need bringing home etc. They were ok. He makes a massive deal out of it yet he never usually asks for last minute things so it's not exactly like he annoys them all the time. At least transfer should fall on Saturday next week.

@paintfairy yay! I was worried they'd mess up and not call you. Will you call in sick on Monday? What's OH done 😂

Today's update! I would like to murder DH. Its that allowed? How are men so fucking ridiculous as people? Honestly.

But - I've had the call. I'm to take buserelin at 8pm. Trigger at 10pm (taking into account the clock change) and Egg collection is 9am Monday. I need to be there at 8am though. They've relaxed the rules so DH is allowed onto the ward.

@MimiArm I suppose its to cover all bases? I always struggle after though. They told us to after iui and I was either uncomfortable or just not feeling it. I wouldn't do every day though, just a few? I don't know how you are managing that clinic drive.
@Juno231 yeah it is exactly that! Maybe EC and transfer might be more exciting. But it's dragged on forever it seems. The injecting I've found ok (i did it for iui) so it's no big deal. The foof scans are also pretty standard these days. The clinic people all act like it's dead normal (suppose it is to them). Strange ordeal really.

I feel crap tonight though. Definitely bloated. My lower stomach feels weird and my ovaries too. This sounds odd but I almost feel like I've got indigestion/need to hiccup but right down there too. 🤣 I felt a bit sick earlier as well. I've definitely been eating less junk this week, as I've just not felt like it!

Juno231 · 29/10/2021 21:41

@MimiArm gosh that does sound very long! My friend did clomid last cycle and got told to DTD three days in a row after the trigger. Still can't believe how far you have to drive!

@paintfairy I know what you mean, I have a feeling it'll all be a bit surreal and underwhelming at the same time?

@paintfairy @Juno231 Hi ladies.

@paintfairy : it's all systems go! 10 eggs is still the dream in my opinion. Everything seems to be going smoothly so far for you which I'm so pleased for you. Fingers crossed to the next stage!

I had my CD12 scan today. I have one dominant follicle (18mm) on my right ovary so the fertility nurse gave me my trigger shot today. She said my lining looked perfect as well. I've to start the Cyclogest on Sunday evening. She did say to DTD for the next 7-10 days but surely that's way too long?! I would have though tonight, tomorrow and Sunday would be enough? So can't be bothered as I'm wrecked from the longggg drive to and from the clinic today (left house at 8 am and got home at 5.30 pm) 🙈

@Juno231 It really does. And ivf seems like a massive deal when it's someone else. But it still doesn't feel like it's happening!

Juno231 · 29/10/2021 18:21

@paintfairy Aaaah it's unbelievable you're at this stage!! It's been the slowest journey ever and then when you got to the IVF bit it has felt like the speed of light.

Today's update. I'm shitting myself. 🤣

Scan this morning - lady said she thought I would be triggering Saturday night for Monday (the dr has to review though) and to await the call this afternoon. I asked to take a photo of the screen - I'll attach it for you. I've got 10 decent ones but I was hoping for more. I also seem to have lost some? 🤔🤣 Fingers crossed they reappear maybe. The call confirmed it but I'm to wait for another call tomorrow to tell me what time exactly to trigger. And give any further instructions i need (I really do feel in the dark somewhat). Egg collection will be Monday but again, time confirmed tomorrow!

Scary stuff!

@Juno231 the scan lady guesses but you have to wait for them to call you. Usually they've rang between 1 and 1.30, but nothing? 🤷‍♀️ Dunno how long to leave it before trying to call them, as most the staff seem to go home about 4pm. Honestly. 🙄

Juno231 · 29/10/2021 14:38

@paintfairy did they tell you today when you're likely to trigger?
