Just a quick hello and fingers crossed for Buzzy. Smile. Rabbits waters are very wise you know.

Mad things busy for now but yes let's catch up soon.

I have indeed been enjoying the weather. Hooray. Today I wore flip flops Shock.

Gotta go but loves to all. I wish we were all FB friends as I have some nice pics I want to share with you all!

euro irritating is a polite way of putting it, called an hour ago and they didn't have the results, I'll spitting razor blades if there is a problem again.

EuroShaggleton · 25/05/2013 19:17

Nelly the photo from this morning was great! I'm very jealous. My tiny London patio does not compare!

buzz I'm sorry this is adding to your stress. How are you feeling in yourself?

buzzybee123 · 25/05/2013 19:25

OK so finally got a repsonse, good news my HCG has doubled, but my progesterone has only gone up by 2, called NLC emergency number to see if I can get hold of injectable progesterone, they can't advise me as I am Shehata's patient Hmm I have never really understood that arrangement, gave me number, its the midwife Louise who is away until the 4th, they advise going to EAPU which is closed or A&E who are not likely to do anything Hmm

buzzybee123 · 25/05/2013 19:52

Sorry I realise this isn't the place to really is it Blush

mrsden · 25/05/2013 20:10

Couldn't the place that did the blood test give you a prescription buzzy? Is the progesterone a problem, I don't really know. Could the Brno clinic email you a prescription? Can you double up in the pessaries?

EuroShaggleton · 25/05/2013 20:17

buzz I agree with mrsd - could Brno help?

If not, what about a private GP? They don't have an eye on budgets so might be more willing to prescribe.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 25/05/2013 20:44

Hurrah about the hcg, good suggestions from mrsd and euro. Handholds for the stressy thoughts.

Waves from a yet again squiffy lemon to all of you!

buzzybee123 · 25/05/2013 20:52

thanks I have emailed Brno still waiting for a reply, its alot cheaper from there than here, I just need a supply ASAP, although I don't think my levels are too serious I would feel happier if they were higher, I'm taking 4 bullets today onwards, I shall be able to self propel myself with all the wind issues I'm having

mrsden · 25/05/2013 20:58

Are you taking them in the front door? I was told that's better for absorption than back door.

buzzybee123 · 25/05/2013 21:08

back door, I didn't want anything irritating my cervix plus its less mess

MuddyWellyNelly · 25/05/2013 22:06

Buzzy what a worry for you, but I guess what I don't understand is how the prog and HCG interact? And also wouldn't it be lower in DE because presumably there is no corpus luteum? Confused. In any case I hope so so much it works out right; and you know to shout if you need the arse bullets back (unused Wink).

Euro there are some cuter pics up and hopefully I'll get more tomorrow! But yes the patio has its charms...

Just popping in quickly to offer buzzy a tight hand squeeze. Did the hospital tell you your progesterone was low? I've not had mine tested at all, so don't know much about it, but came across this website when menkuling about myself americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/earlyfetaldevelopment.htm. It seems to say that it would only go up by one or two every few days and that the highest it would be during the 1st trimester is 47, so yours may be ok? Obvs I don't know how definitive this website is... But your hcg is super and still makes me think it may be twins. Hopefully Brno will be able to either put your mind at rest, or get you any meds needed. Remember this pregnancy is different to your past ones. You have different symptoms and your hormone levels will prob be different due to the ivf. Big hugs.

nelly I love the cute pics on FB! Was that from your awesome weekend last weekend?! And I'm soooooo jealous of your patio. Literally green with envy of all the lovely greenness.

Luffs to everyone else. Will catch up properly tomoz. 1 week until scan day eek.

buzzybee123 · 25/05/2013 22:54

nelly I'm seeing a GP on Wednesday so I'll hit them up for more, I have about 5 boxes still here Blush yeah you are right about not having an LP phase but alot of the ladies say that their clinics wanted them to get it up to 100

Yes very jealous of your pic on FB :)

gin thanks yes I have looked up what it should be around but obviously the NHS, shehata and Reprofit thought it was a bit low for their liking, I have looked up HCG levels and yes they are in range for twins but we shall see, just a baby is all I'm after, wow one week very exciting :)

ThatWayMadnessLies · 27/05/2013 14:32

Where is everyone today? Can't look back on my phone but I hope things are better today buzzy. I am frozen after an outdoor work event this afternoon. Saturday was glorious and today feels like winter again Sad.

EuroShaggleton · 27/05/2013 15:27

Hi mad.

I've had a lovely bonk holiday. We've sorted the front garden, which had been looking rather tatty (NB this is not a euphemism, I actually mean the front garden), seen friends, shot stuff and been for a wander around Greenwich Park.

buzzybee123 · 27/05/2013 15:37

euro sounds like a lovely weekend Grin at the bonk weekend, where are you in your cycle

madness why are you working today, are you in another time zone??

Barry has gone up north again, well the midlands for another week, he did take me for cream teas and Fanny's Farm and then to see the bluebells at Winkworth. Noe its just me and the cat and dislike of the idea of work tomorrow Hmm

ThatWayMadnessLies · 27/05/2013 16:42

No holidays at all for me in May buzzy Sad. Only 5 weeks though to summer hols so i shouldn't complain!

euro Grin Grin at bonk holiday.

EuroShaggleton · 27/05/2013 16:45

Well, this weekend should have been egg collection, which means it should also be ov (although I think I might have had an anovulatory cycle last month and I'm worried this one might be headed the same way. Sad). Still, we've given it a go, just in case I do lay an egg!

Mad no holidays! Shock

buzzybee123 · 27/05/2013 17:24

euro best to cover all bases are you temping??

ThatWayMadnessLies · 27/05/2013 19:19

I know euro I am all for a shorter summer break with a few more short breaks scattered throughout the term to give everyone a rest. The kids and staff are all ill right now.

I debated buying ov sticks for this this month since it's the first non-ivf and not down regulated cycle since my lap in december but have decided that we will just have a reasonable amount of sex and see what happens. With cyst filled ovaries, one tube and a hostile environment for MrM's swimmers I am not expecting much......

nelly I went cycling and had ice cream at the beach on Saturday. Today had to raid the car for extra layers.

rabbit MrM made me a hot toddy Grin. I hate them but they do tend to knock me out!

zippy it was my first cycle. I read the articles about the embryo imaging stuff. Unfortunately we only got one embryo from two eggs so would need a much better response next time for it to be much use for us. Hopefully with more research it will help the, to take some of the guesswork out of this process. When I think that I was born in the same year as the first ivf baby I wonder how far things might move on by the time my children are my age.

Must run as I am cooking dinner. Big waves to all!

EuroShaggleton · 27/05/2013 19:39

buzz yep, I'm temping. I got a clear rise the cycle after my mc, but the next one I got all the symptoms - more EWCM than I have had in years, ov pains, then sore boobs - but no temp rise. Confused I thought my thermometer might be on the blink after too many flights in the chilly hold, so I bought a new one. So far this month, I've had bucket loads of EWCM again, ov pains, my boobs are starting to get a little sore, but I'm on day 16 with no temp rise (pre mc, I always oved between days 14 and 16) so I'm not quite sure what's occurring.

buzzybee123 · 27/05/2013 19:58

maybe a late ovulation, it might be that your body is still adjusting from the miscarriage

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 27/05/2013 20:10

Evening ladies! I agree with buzz's assessment, it took about five months for my cycle to become completely reliable again. I fluctuated between 31 and 25 for a while. Now I am back on my reliable 26-27 days. So it could still come. Btw I noticed a massive increase in EWCM as well post-mc, and earlier, with scanning and IUI I found that where I used to just have a slippery day on The Day of ovulation, now it starts a day or two ahead of time. That has stayed.

How are you doing buzz? Any news?

Waves to all the others, I had to do a bit of work today, but finished with an impromptu pub visit with SB. Can't be bothered to go in tomorrow...

buzzybee123 · 27/05/2013 20:19

I know that feeling lemon I don't want to go to work Hmm well I think my clinic will give me the injectables, no more spotting and got a 3+ on the digi, still early days though
