My IUI cycles might have taken the want for children out of me

@Totorotoes will read and catch up and reply later running late as usual but just wanted to send a good luck egg retrieval today to you, thinking of you xx

@roro87 thank you! Trying to keep positive.
2 is a lovely age, but hard work I imagine!! So nice seeming them learn new skills though

@Totorotoes he's almost 2, he's not at school yet but has a childminder he's with most of the time she's great.

Power of positive thinking there will be eggs and it will go well. There were lots there the other day. I know its much easier said than done

@roro87 how old is your little boy? Glad he has come on so much over the holidays, hope he is settling back to school ok.

@RMS0209 I had my first proper hormonal melt down today after making a stupid mistake at work 🤯 I am mostly very excited about the EC, it still feels slightly unreal though and I can't help but worry still that they won't find any eggs. The trigger shot was absolutely fine, really easy to do and it didn't hurt. My clinic didn't scan me until day 8 btw after my day 2 scan, so your timeline sounds normal! 🙂

I'm good, haven't ovulated yet this cycle or else I missed it which with being on holidays I easily could have but not holding out holding out hope. Yes i hope you are too everything crossed for you both. My little boy has really come out of himself on holidays and has gotten so grown up and has made the longing for another even greater

@roro87 it's ok, I would have only been a few days in to injecting Friday will be 7 days so hopefully I'm as luck as @Totorotoes 😂🤞🏻 how are you? Xx

@Totorotoes That's a great outcome hope the trigger shot isn't too bad. Keep us updated

@RMS0209 so sorry that yours has been cancelled I can't imagine how disheartening that feels but I hope it will mean a better outcome overall for you xx

Hello! So sorry for deleted reply... @Totorotoes

Oh my gosh, so exciting! How are you feeling?
Not much to report here... I have my scan Friday (they cancelled todays one said it's to early for anything) but starting to feel hormonal and emotional so ready to be off them soon 😂
You must be delighted what a great amount of follicles.
Please let me know how the trigger is... it looks scary haha xx

I had my scan today and I'm booked in for egg collection on Friday!!! Can't believe it. I'm doing my trigger shot tonight and that's my last injection. I can't believe it! 8 big follies and 4 playing catch up, then a few tiddlers.
@RMS0209 how are the injections going?

@roro87 if you have any questions you forget to ask them you can ask me and @RMS0209, although not sure I am any the wiser yet one week in! 😂

@RMS0209 ah so that's what it does! I have to start taking it tonight. Scan today went really well I think, I've got 15 follicles, 8 are 12mm+ already and 7 aren't too far behind 😁🥳 They said next Monday for EC- wouldn't mind it being sooner though as that's my busiest day at work! But my eggs come first of course!

@Totorotoes New clinic is 2 hours away as was the old one but it is a satellite clinic, so they can do bloods and scans etc but can't do anything major for that I've to go 4 hours or so. However I'm going to ask a lot more hard questions this time.

Great to know about all the injections etc as that's probably my future. Best of luck both of you with your scans

@Totorotoes oops sorry I wasn't finished reading, I got it from this article

Hi @roro87 lucky you, I can't wait for my holiday not long to go! Hope you have a blast. Sending lots of luck for clinic app too.

@Totorotoes oooh, so I start that in the AM tomorrow and then in PM I inject my Menopur, first scan Wed 🤞🏻
The Fyremadel is basically...used to prevent premature LH surges

@roro87 enjoy your holiday! Sounds lovely. Is your new clinic still close to where you live?

@RMS0209 I have fyremadol too but I don't start it yet, apparently they will tell me when to start that one- I don't know what it does though? First scan tomorrow morning....🤞

Hi @Totorotoes @RMS0209 I'm good, I'm pm holiday in Barcelona for 10 days, it's quite hot but nice and relaxing. Have new clinic appointment when I get back on the 27th.

You are both doing great with your meds and injections.

@Totorotoes 😃
Marmite?! Goodness you must be ill 😂
Yes nice relaxing weekend here too, away for a rainy dog walk then home for a cosy house today, only 1 injection today - Menopur tonight and tomorrow I start the fyremadel in the AM and Menopur continues in the PM.

I am 4 injections down now - how brave are we 😁
Yes! So I can log onto my "portal" and my reminders come up for each day and I can tick off, I like it to... feel a like I'm in control of something ha ha.

Yes how are you @roro87 & @Cactizone hope to hear from you both soon x

@RMS0209 thank you for reminding me to be positive!😁 There must be something going on as I had a huge spot on my chin this morning, and a craving for marmite! 😂 Having a nice relaxed weekend, today is a TV day!!
Well done for being 3 injections down, how are you feeling? My clinic has an app that gives med reminders and you can tick off when they are done, which I like. Does yours have anything like that?
@roro87 how are you?
@Cactizone how are you? We miss you! Hope you have decided on a plan that works for you, or at least enjoying some down time if not!

@Totorotoes
brilliant, you have a good few scans sorted then.
DONT be nervous - we are being positive pollys together! We have lots of lovely growing going on inside... this IS our time 💉🥰
I'm just a woose, so I have him doing them it actually makes it a little easier. 3rd injection done.. I didn't want to fight him that much after it this morning (less sore) I definitely feel tender.. it's the weekend so I am going for "comfort" clothing now.
That must be nice to have a cuddly/over friendly cat.... my cats and dogs couldn't be any further from being interested 😂. Xxx
Hope you have some nice plans this weekend since we are being so brave.

Hope everybody else is getting on great x

@RMS0209 my scan is on Monday, then every two days until egg collection! I'm a bit nervous in case nothing is growing in there, but hopefully all will be well.
I think you are very brave letting your partner do your injections...I would much rather be in control myself! My only symptoms so far is that my belly is a bit tender where my waistband is resting on the injection site, and having a very cuddly/over friendly cat who can smell the hormones I think! 😂xxx

@Totorotoes

Haha, I am sorry - I'm clearly in my own little world and expect everybody to know what I mean.
Yes if In doubt...blame the hormones, I actually didn't cry today.. I asked myself if I was ok 😀😅

Well... this morning, easy - delighted happy said to my partner "have you done it right it was to easy?"
Tonight.... wow, he got shouted at the pain what a sting.. that's what I expected it to be like,I think I'm maybe just a bit tender from this mornings? I don't know but WOWIE.
Not long until 3rd lot, 2nd lot for me tomorrow - still delighted how close we are.
I have my 1st scan on Wednesday to see how I am getting on, how about you? Then one on Friday.

It was tonight... as I took a deep breathe (like the videos you see on YouTube and Tik tok) and I thought... wow we are really doing this! But it made me smile. Xx

@RMS0209 thank goodness, those times are much more reasonable!! 🤣 Don't worry, I am easily confused anyway. Just blame the hormones! 🤪
How did it go this morning? My second lot of injections were fine, not long until my 3rd lot. I'm really strange, I actually quite like doing them. It's weird, I keep having these "oh my god I'm really doing IVF!" moments!!

@Totorotoes that's twice in one day I have confused you... I'm getting good at this!

Horaaaah for good luck fairy 🧚‍♂️

Sorry I meant... I have 1 injection in the AM & 1 in the PM, so I am doing 7.30am and 7.30pm.

Fingers crossed for a fresh transfer for you - straight forward easy with the best results I feel it!!

That is my Menopur 1200IU made up, roll on the morning.
I've put mine into the cupboard
How did you get on with tonight's??

@RMS0209 hooray for the bleed! I love being a good luck fairy 😂 Glad you can get started. I can't believe you have a 1am injection, why can't they be 8am and 8pm that would be much easier for you!?! It'll be worth it though.
I am hopefully doing a fresh transfer but if it goes wrong I have one frozen cycle as well.
Yes the menopur can stay out of the fridge once mixed, mine is still in there though as i got paranoid about taking it out yesterday 🙈 I will put it in the cupboard tonight.
I'm off to so my injections now. It's thundering, so hopefully that doesn't make me jump as I do it 🤣

@Totorotoes
Well I'm taking you as a good luck fairy! After messaging you.. bleeding properly started, so tomorrow I rock the Menopur 🤞🏻
Yes I need to do mixing - job for tonight, then I believe it's just kept at room temp? So no more fridge storing?
Yeah so I am taking 2 x Menopur a day 1am and 1pm, then soon I take away 1 Menopur and replace it with a fydramel or something? (I'm not at home for the proper name!)

Going to be so fantastic having somebody going through this at the exact same time! I am however... doing a freeze all cycle, what about you?! I can't remember what you said x

@RMS0209 you'll ace it, the menopur is fine- I was most worried about the mixing (which you may not have to do, it depends on the dose), but now I've done that it is straightforward. Do you take it at different times of the day? I take both mine at 8pm. I think my friend is same protocol as you, she is taking tablets now to bring on a bleed. Can't believe how closely we have timed this! 😁
