Hope everyone's well. It's been a while since my last post on here because we went away for a short holiday last week - went to Dorset which is a beeyootiful part of the world and really quite nice weather-wise. We are getting ourselves reconciled to having more modest holidays in the UK for the foreseeable future, having pretty much spent every penny on our house refurb - the well is running dry! If it's always like last week though I think it'll be OK, we had a very relaxing time and lots of fun.
Catching up on all the news...
Firstly to Lissy I'm so sorry the cycle didn't work and hope that getting away to the US to see the family is helping you cope with the disappointment.
Kezia 8 more days will fly by, best of luck with the whole cycle! If you're going to be sniffing your downregging drugs be vigilant that the bottle will run out after a week or so - this is my advice to everyone after nearly wrecking my own cycle!
Loujalou your appointment on 30/12 will be exactly a year after my first appointment at the ACU...spooky. I bet it seems ages away but with me I thought the date seemed quite a good omen - before the end of the year you will be setting out on the assisted conception road and next year will be so much better.
Newbishad hope the research into foreign donors is giving you some interesting information and looks like a good way forward for you. It must be so hard to accept you need someone else's DNA but I hope after a period of adjustment you will feel optimistic and ready to go for it. I know a lovely lady that was lucky with donor eggs in Spain and she found the experience very positive I think.
BB good luck with the first injection and enjoy your half term hol. Haven't heard of that protocol either but fingers crossed it is the one that does the trick for you.
Hi and welcome to Oldyjade, sorry that you find yourself here but everyone is very friendly and do fire away if you have any questions on the process as pretty much most things have been tried by us!
And finally Italian, hope things are well with you. What makes you think you might be intolerant to food, is it that you bloat after some meals and not others? Worth getting tested I'm sure.
As for me, I've got my 12 week scan tomorrow (will be 11+6 so near enough!) and if all is well with it then I'll be going public at work and with wider groups of friends after that. I'm certainly feeling pretty preggers at the moment with extreme tiredness and a fair amount of nausea (only sick a couple of times overall but most recently yesterday so hope that means the little ones are still thriving). I'm also feeling very chubby round my middle and it seems to be quite obvious to people - two colleagues who are in on the secret say it is much more noticeable after a week off. I can't wait to have a bump but I'm sure I shouldn't wish my life away as it'll get big enough pretty quickly if both Meg and Mog have made it!
My husband is being brilliant and letting me be as lazy as I want to be, which is very! I just haven't got the energy to walk far and going up two flights of stairs leaves me puffing and blowing like a whale. But I feel very fortunate indeed and just hope so much that M&M are both well and happy inside. Will report back after the scan to keep you posted.
