Frosticle I?m very jealous of the amount of information and level of organisation re your donor. That sounds great and will be a lovely souvenir one day for your baby. Fantastic that you?re dealing so well with the downreg too ? the ones where you wonder whether it?s working are the ones to aim for!
Ginger what a drag that you have to have yet more blood tests ? you must be aching for this to be over and to be able to start moving on to the positive next steps. With a bit of luck your body will put a stop to the whole thing by coming on and pressing the restart button. Although maybe it?s just me that feels like the bleed after a failed cycle is the official end of it all and quite looks forward to it, even though it?s horrible, especially after you got as far as you did ? hmm, best to stop talking now Mo and just send hugs and love to Ginger? [sits in corner mumbling and shaking head]
Cat brilliant trigger shot story! How can you not have a fabulous EC after that!
Scarlett rotten rotten luck about your cycle, but I love your plan, and you sound impressively upbeat after what must have been a very difficult week. And I didn?t know tubes could catch either side, very cool. I was always on short protocol when doing own egg IVF because of low response/low AMH so I?m sure you?re right to press for it if you need to, but meanwhile enjoy the shagging my dear!
Mini well done you! What a haul ? that really is fantastic and shows it was worth all the agonising tinkering about. Hope you?re feeling better ? that sounds like an awful lot of prodding about. Sending growing dividing vibes.
Pocket here?s to a perfect scan and a firmed up schedule on Thursday. I?m with you on the weirdness of having a whole inner timetable that the rest of the world knows nothing about, is infinitely and randomly stretchable and yet still has to me made seamlessly to fit around aunty Mary?s birthday tea and the meeting where you have to sub for your boss that was arranged 3 months ago?
AFM I have finally got brave and booked my 6 week scan for next Tuesday. Yesterday I received a massive box of drugs ? the clinic sent everything I?d need for the entire pregnancy which feels like tempting fate on an intergalactic scale. So I?m ducking gremlins. However, lest it should all go too smoothly, they haven?t supplied the progesterone injections they wanted me to start taking last Weds because my levels were a bit low, and the UK chemist I sourced them from haven?t included any needles, so I?m about to google whether I can use the leftover ones I have from various cycles here. Anyone know anything about progesterone injections? Trying not to think about whether not getting this sorted for a week means it?s too late to worry about it now? It?s funny, when I got pregnant with DS on our first donor cycle I just assumed I would have a baby. Now I know so much more about what can go wrong I?m barely assuming I?ll make it to next week!
