Fertility Appointments and Beyond.... the journey continues

Pizza was had 🤤 if things have changed on Tuesday maybe all this diet stuff is bollocks!

@beckyCarlos well, I’m glad you’re feeling a bit more chilled. keep us posted on what they say, but I vote for the dirty pizza 🍕👀

@thislittlebird thanks, they'll have a chat with me (/us! My husband might be allowed in for the first time ever lol) after the appointment on Tues, at the min the two folicles that are there are 11 and 9mm so I dont think thats even big enough for IUI! But we'll see 😊 now that I've had a few hours (and a long dog walk, and some gardening even though I bloody hate it lol) I'm more chill, its a numbers game and they went with what was most likely to get the best response, its not worked, but the next best thing might be what I need (I'm always awkward lol) contemplating whether to keep chowing down protein or whether to get a dirty pizza tonight 🤣

@beckyCarlos ah that’s shit. I’m really sorry. Can they convert to IUI like they did for Gracie? That might not be an option of course. On the plus side, they’ll can change the protocol now they know.

They just called back, keeping on with the last 2 sets of injections, final scan on Tues, then more than likely a follow up appointment at some (hopefully not too long) point in the future to assess if a short protocol might work better 😊

At least theres a next step! I dislike the unknown. Limbo is not my happy place.

Hope you're all doing well x

So this morning didn't go well. She had to get another nurse to check that precisely nothing had changed 😔 shes going to speak to the consultant and call me later, but nothing else is there, and the two that were there haven't grown. The consultant might say to do two more days and see, but thats unlikely. So, were looking at an abandoned cycle 😔 will either have an abandoned cycle review and/or then a nurse consult for a short cycle becuase that might work better 🤷‍♀️x

@Gracie2021 congratulations, that's amazing and especially to have such an improvement on previous rounds!!

@beckyCarlos sorry it wasn't better news for you. My left ovary always hides and doesn't seem to be doing anything, it's definitely in the remedial egg growing class, but it has eventually generated 1 or 2 eggs in each round so hopefully there are some late bloomers hiding there for you! All fingers crossed they find them at the next scan.

Thanks everyone 😊 once we'd had the eclairs (if you're ever near Rawdon, go to Croissant D'Or 🤤) and I'd calmed down, I was telling my husband that the fact there is SOMEthing is good, and the first cycle is so often a stab in the dark etc. All the logical things that the emotional brain forgets. But first, Sunday!

Hope you're all doing ok! @gracie2021 hope you're recovering ok! X

@beckyCarlos aww keep us updated. The eclairs sound delicious

@beckyCarlos enjoy the sun and the French goodies!! As @PurpleUnicorn01 said, a couple of days will make a massive difference xx

@tinkerbell098 today is day 9, so 8 actual days of stims (this evening being the 9th shot) she didnt call it off then and there so thats something!

@purpleunicorn01 thank you x x x this has made me cry (in a good way) and given my positivity a kick in the right direction x x x

We got baguettes and eclairs from our favourite french bakery, and the sun is BLAZING in Yorkshire, so its not all bad :)

@beckyCarlos how long have you been on stims? It probably needs a little bit longer to grow. Hope Sunday would go better xx

@beckyCarlos i had the same issue, a few days makes a difference x

It was an actual hour! The news is...not good. Nothing, not even a poxy tiny glimmer in the left ovary. The right has one about 11m and one smaller one. The nurse was (I suspect just being kind) lovely and booked me back in for Sunday, and said that the machine she was on was old, and there could be some smaller ones she couldnt visualise so I'm not out out (plus my ovaries were hiding today, the positions she had to put the wand in! And I had to press on my belly where I could feel it!) But I'm feeling very sad. But I know I've done everything I could. One day at a time, see what sunday brings, pray for a miracle, and go from there x

@beckyCarlos how annoying! Hope it's not too much of a wait. All the best xx

Everything crossed for you @Gracie2021!

@gracie2021 8!!! Wooo! Thats amazing! Im still waiting for my scan...theyre currently running at least 50 mins late...

@Gracie2021 yayay congratulations that's such a wonderful number!! So happy for you! I'm definitely planning on watching some Bridgerton today too :)

@beckyCarlos hope your scan has gone well too!

@Kay00 thank you :) I agree, having the birthdays two days apart has always been really nice - we tend to go on a dual celebration holiday! So very happy to add a third mid November birthday into the mix!

@Gracie2021 8!!! amazing!! Woohoo!! Thanks, no rush, just check when you can. Enjoy Bridgerton xx

@Kay00 yes, I am also searching for answers for my infertility, hence the overthinking and googling everything! It's probably worth brining up as other girls have suggested, nothing to lose! When is your first appointment? Have you got a date yet?

@Gracie2021 Yey!!! 8 is an excellent (I had to stop myself from typing eggcellent lol) number!! Woop!

@beckyCarlos Good luck!

@Tinkerbell098 Its OK at this point a simple explanation (such as low testosterone) for my infertility would be great. I think I just have to hope that it all get ironed out during IVF. I'll bring it up at my first appointment just in case

I haven’t read up yet because I’m on day 3 of a migraine 🥴, but that’s such good news @Gracie2021, a big improvement!

@Gracie2021 yayyyy so pleased for you xx

@beckyCarlos best of luck xx
