Excellent Egg Buddies continued! Anyone having IVF/ICSI in Jan, Feb and March 2013 please join us!

[fairypangolin]

We've run out of room on Karbea's Jan IVF thread and it is too much fun to stop! We're all getting into comfy clothes and enjoying the side effects and surprises (and occasionally some hand holding).

noks I'm in at 1030 but have to be there at 8, I'm at Walsgrave in Coventry... Picked up a couple of comfort night bras from sainsburys in the end for the old punch bags!

Phew, I'm back! Lovely weekend of eating too much and now feeling guilty and celebrating DH's birthday.

noks hope the re-scan goes really well and that the follies have grown well. Some of my follies seemed to grow 2mm a day. I don't know if it made any difference, but I used a hot water bottle a lot while I was stimming. I don't know about the exploding ovaries, but as euro says if they grow that much, then it's no surprise.

hont how are you doing?

keep that' s great about the 7 fertilised eggs, keep us posted

shazza hope you're gradually getting your head around everything. I would still be in shock and it must be difficult to get used to it!

scarlett all your worries are perfectly normal and natural and I've had them all and googled them all and I've gone for a 2nd cycle, so it can't have been that bad. I tried to embrace the whole experience (sounds like bollocks out loud) when I remembered and wasn't too knackered Will be thinking of you tomorrow and rooting for you

AFM, I am really trying not to symptom spot, but have really sore boobs, the odd twinge and feel nauseous - all of which could be down to the progesterone.
I am not going to test early. I want to just focus on getting to OTD this time, as I started bleeding the day before last time. Back to work tomorrow and feeling well rested, so kind of looking forward to it

Loving the diamond white memories, god that stuff was foul!

Hello wolf pack!

Scarlett I hope you are feeling better. Isnt it funny how we cope with big things despite the raging hormones and then little things tip us over? I hope the bra helps. My boobs are still their normal beesting size so I think I'm a long way from being the proud owner of bazookas. DP can't wait

I love Noks' tip about how to solve the takeaway dilemma. I wonder when I can start using the 'eating for 2' excuse, the amount I'm packing away .

So I'm sticking with the heels for now. I reckon the signal to swap will be when I'm faced with a new pair of louboutins and a pair of hush puppies and I think 'Oo those lace ups look comfy'

I'm good thanks for asking. We have been with both our families today who are over the moon. The little pip is busy making itself comfy inside. I can feel lots of twingy activity. Euro, you are right it's really exciting altho i still dont believe it. DPs sister lent me some books so now I have the correct reading list I feel back in control abit.

I'm going to settle into a Sunday night with dinner and the tv before work tomorrow.

Scarlett best of luck for the morning. My fingers are crossed for you.

Noks how are the ovaries today?

Keep any news from your brood?

Choco how are you symptom wise? When is OTD? Are you testing early? I think I should fess up to the fact that I tested 1 day before my period was due this week just for the hell of it and it was bfn. Then 3 days later look what happened.

Loads of love to all of you whatever you are doing.

Sorry choco we cross posted. Well done for keeping relatively calm.

When is OTD?

Love xxx

shazza lovely to be able to tell your families, still really excited for you. OTD is Friday - gulp!

Top Gear for me and then going to be hardcore and head to bed

Xx

Oh it must be so hard to wait choco. I really feel for you but i admire your resolve and its only 5 sleeps

Enjoy top gear and a lovely rest. Xx

Hi all feeling much better after spending the weekend with the folks. Looking forward to getting back in the gym this week...and I really must stop eating like I have been!

scarlett good luck for tomorrow girl

keep any news on fertilisation?

north how you doing? Did you have your follow up appt? Plan for next go? Sorry cant remember

euro it must be horrible just waiting...you sound so strong and together, totally inspirational

shaz still totally excited for you...gives us all hope it can happen naturally

chocco hang in their till OTD... Work kept my mind busy, enjoy your first day back

Hi everyone else....night night xxx

Just to say all seven are still alive! :) four at 8 cell, two at 7, one at 6. 7-10 is normal by day three but they said the 6 could still catch up and they're pleased. We are so happy!

Transfer on Wednesday at 1.30.

euro anything happening yet lovely?

Brilliant news, keep.

Nope, still not even a tiny bit of spotting here. Embarryo seems to be stuck fast, despite my best efforts to dislodge him. Part of me just wants to get an ERPC to get it over and done with, but I think the natural option would be better if I can just be patient.

Hello girls

Keep that's amazing news! Hardy little fellas.

Honty I'm glad you are feeling better after a lovely weekend with your family.

Euro do they know how long it could be? The waiting must be awful. I really feel for you.

Scarlett how did you get on? Are you ok?

Noks what time is your scan today?

How is everyone else? Any news on follow up appts?

All fine this end. Am at my desk harbouring my little secret .

Have a great Monday girls.

Shaz xxx

Oh euro how frustrating/upsetting and a million other things.

Quick post from me, home now with my feet up, got 3 eggs. OHs sample was good but embryologist has recommended ICSI to give all 3 the best shot, this wil also give us an idea of egg quality if needed for future, just wait for fertilisation call tomorrow

keep great news re embies progress x

Excellent news, Scarlett. Have a nice restful afternoon!

Woo boo Scarlett Fertilise, eggies, fertilise!

Woo hoo, not boo...

Well fine Scarlett. That's brilliant. Another hurdle mastered. Do you feel ok? Have a lovely restful afternoon. Fingers crossed for the 3 of them. Love xx

Well done I meant! Xx

But it's also mighty fine!

Thanks girls! shaz I thought you'd gone all street on me, 'dats well fine innit'

Mostly watching DVDs all afternoon, I cunningly wore my onesie to the clinic this morning so I wouldn't have to get changed when I got home

Feel ok, tummy area mild cramplike feeling, bit of pink when I wipe after a wee I guess that's normal??

Scarlett the onsie was a genius idea

Xx

Well done scarlett, 3 eggs is fab. Yes, bleeding normal, I had some for a few hours after. Pleased it went well.

euro sorry you're having such a crap time. Hugs

hont glad being with family was therapeutic

shazza what a great secret, glad you're feeling ok

keep Great news about fertilisation

noks how was the scan?

Afm, nothing to report. Boobs still sore (I may have, ahem, prodded them a few times loads today). 1st day at work reassuringly normal. This wait is killing me though!

Choco that's so funny. I'm also surruptiously squeezing my boobs and must even confess to studying the sensation in and look of my nipples. No soreness, increased size or depth of colour.

The wait must be endless. You are being so good. Xx
