flohs - yup, exactly the same here!
resipsa - Sad Flowers Brew Wine
winkle - I hope you manage to get some good advice from the docs.
ads - all sounding positive to me. Just gotta take these things one day at a time eh? 'cautiously optimistic' is how I hope to be next time (?) I get pg.
moo - wow, you sound very wise to me. respect!
Hello everyone else. Hope you're all ok? xx

twinklestar2 · 11/06/2013 07:26

I'm on cd14 and really should start dtd but I CBA :(

resipsa · 11/06/2013 07:27

twink I did ask but it was way down thread! Think DH is right, they wouldn't let you choose if one was better than the other but I get why you're frustrated; you feel it's one shot and you need guidance. Think the fact that you haven't had it is a bit poor TBH.

On the plus side, you've actually got 2 shots and they say if no 1 fails then a lot can be learnt from how it went to make the second try "perfect". How're you feeling about it all?

resipsa · 11/06/2013 07:29

Ha! The best bit of IVF for me was not having to DTD!

BelissimaLol · 11/06/2013 13:06

Hello long lost friends!
I've just come back to the grads thread and learnt that fatas is now ads and you have a bfp! Come over to the dark side Grin
Twink and res you need to follow next. I'll be staying put and not let baby come out until you doWink
Hope u are all well and good luck!
Lol x

twinklestar2 · 11/06/2013 20:08

Welcome back lol :)

Res - I've spoken to the clinic and they're putting me on the short. They said its easier on the system and it has the same success rate.

resipsa · 11/06/2013 21:25

Short's good IMHO. You're not turning off your natural cycle then restarting it as with long. The short just gives it a fuel injected boost. You asked about follies on other thread. Was it your AFC (antral follicle count)? 12 means you'll respond well to the stims so a good start!

resipsa · 11/06/2013 21:26

Hi lol - saw you on other thread and can't believe you're 33 weeks (or so)! Where did they go???

BelissimaLol · 11/06/2013 21:43

Hi res I know! Time is finally going fast now and I'm starting to freak out thinking there is actually a baby I will have to look after
How are you doing? Are we trying naturally or ivfing?
Twinkle when do you start? I don't understand much about it but it seems to be moving fast which is excellent newsGrin! Good luck!
Are there any others from our first group over here???
Will keep lurking and watching you all !

twinklestar2 · 11/06/2013 23:02

Res it was the first scan they did to assess how many follicles I had.

Adsum · 12/06/2013 08:06

Hi lol!
33 weeks already?! Can't believe it's even that long!
I can't come to the dark side yet I'm too scared! Last time I was only there for a couple of weeks...
I will try and get a reassurance scan and then might pop my head round the door!! Wink

BelissimaLol · 12/06/2013 09:27

Hi fatas!!! Didn't know you were hiding under a new name! I know the feeling about moving over. I was the same! I had two early scans on the NHS as the gp said I looked too stressed (no shit!)
Twinkle what is the next step for you? When is your app and what do you expect to happen then? How are you feeling about it all?
What about you res? Hope u are feeling ok. I know how hard it is and totally sympathise with the pain.
Lots of love to you all
Lol Grin

twinklestar2 · 12/06/2013 09:28

My monitor peaked this morning. The only thing I thought was at least I can roughly know when I'll start my treatment. You start on cd2.

Really hard at home at the moment. OH is really down and worried. Big sigh.

BelissimaLol · 12/06/2013 09:31

Does that mean you should be able to start in roughly 2 weeks then?? That's awesome Grin
Must be even harder on your DH than it is on you or men are just weak

Stay strong hun. I'm sure he will feel better when you see that line x

twinklestar2 · 12/06/2013 09:34

IF I see that line :S

BelissimaLol · 12/06/2013 09:35

PMA my dearGrinGrin
You WILL see the line. And soon!!!!!! I can feel it in my loins Grin

RedRobin1 · 12/06/2013 10:02

winkle I have been lurking on the eggcellent thread for awhile now to just see how you and res are doing. Sorry you are both going through a difficult time.

I just wanted to say - I read your Q about the keeping sperm fresh 2-3 day thing and yes DH did the same every month too - every 2-3 days because I read its supposed to help especially with the antisperm antibodies.

Really want you all to come over to the other threads but I am not leaving this one...

DisneyDiva87 · 12/06/2013 11:03

All the best Twinkle! Maybe it will help once you've started treatment as you'll feel more like something active is being done rather than this limbo where you are just waiting.

twinklestar2 · 12/06/2013 12:21

Red - OHs feeling so down he said he's not in the mood to dtd or wank! That's how crappy it is in our house at the moment :(

DisneyDiva87 · 12/06/2013 12:34

I'm so sorry Twinkle it must be one of the most horrible things to go through in life. Maybe your OH will start to come round a little when it gets closer to the treatment date?

RedRobin1 · 12/06/2013 15:51

Sorry I can understand your pain and men have their own way of dealing with this stuff. IVF can be even more all consuming than ttc as so much is on the line - i cant begin to imagine what you both must be going through.

whatever happens i will waiting for your bfp with you xx virtual hug

The moment I don't write anything this thread kicks me to the curb!!!Then it takes forever to find it...I have no idea why.If this thread expires what will be the easiest way to find you all?How many posts will this feed let us have?I went to the old one and a lot of you have graduated on..was kind of disheartening and happy at the same time..happy for them,sad for me:,(Seems like it has been too long..

flohs · 13/06/2013 04:11

Kerry I have found that in the past - maybe we need a code!! How are you? Getting a bit obsessive in this two week wait. Think it's because dh is away. Who am I kidding, I always obsess!

I'm ok..not feeling pregnant but never really felt pregnant this early on any way..still searching for signs just like you.I'm just looking forward to the fact if it didn't happen this month it will be time to reconnect with RE whom I haven't seen in four months.Maybe we will find out what is going on and where are problems lie.I never had to 'try' like this...I pretty much just fell pregnant and that was that.This is really stressful...My kids and I pray for this nightly,I really am praying for one last child....I am eternally thankful for my two,but one more makes me complete:)
