rabbit it's great to hear you sounding so positive. You are right - you WILL get your baby.

I'm feeling properly MENKUL with PMT today. I don't think that is a good sign. Oh well. Bit sad but we never had high hopes for this round once we found out about the embryo quality.

SpottyDotty1 · 02/07/2013 21:33

lemon glad you are feeling better, it stimming tomorrow isn't it

rabbit I am liking this positive attitude :) suits you well, you can still have a low amh and get updiffed, that is what my specialist told me. So on with stage one

pout hope all goes well tomorrow with your scan :)

rabbitonthemoon · 02/07/2013 21:35

Euro an A plus in the last half hour has somewhat extinguished my positivity Hmm people in my life are so bloody fertile!! You know it might not be PMT. impossible to know I think, from everyone's stories on here. You can remind me of that in a couple if months. But don't be sad yet lovely.

euro its not over till some fat bird sings

rabbit don't let the A+ spoil things for you, who cares about them, you are only interested in you and getting on with stage one, this time next year.........

eurozammo · 02/07/2013 21:56

Aw no, rabbit, what a time for an A+. I agree with spotty - focus on you and your future. :)

sarlat · 02/07/2013 22:41

Rabbit - I am all giddy about your baby filled future, this is happening now. Don't lose that energy, it will carry you through, why shouldn't you get preggers. And don't give that a+ another thought. Put it in a box marked a+ boring. Whispers ( other people's babies are boring anyway). Plenty of babies to go around. There is no finate number. Big excited squeezy baby making hugs.

Lemon - ooo stimming tomorrow. Wow, this bit wil fly by. You know a baby can implant, its just a case of waiting for the golden embryo. Sending you positive vibes.

Mad -really sorry for the seshfails and general hormone body goings on. Wil you be off work for the big hols soon??

Nelly - really sorry you are still feeling grim. There is no magic wand as you know which makes it all suddenly feel ok. Feelings of jelousy and frustrations are normal and actually healthy. A couple with no fertility ishooos can take several cycles to conceive. You have only had 2 cycles where you have been on an even playing field. There is mountains of hope that you will get your baby. You will know happiness again, i assure you.

Euro - sorry this cycle feeks draggy and unsuccessful. But implantation can and does feel different every time. I have gad 2 pregnacies and millions of near misses. Implantation has ranged from nothing feelings ( current pregnancy) to flutters to scraping womb with an axe feelings. But the main thing is that you are doing ok and ready for the outcome regardless, which I know you are. Babies do come, its just the timming we cant predict.

Nothing new to report here. Mild nausea and refux continues but I have given up thinking it will go awsy. I can cope with it. I am in the chubby but no bump stage, but I don't care how I look. After this jouney, perfect bumps and coordinating nursery textiles are not of high intetest. I am grateful that, touch wood, the pregnancy is going ok so far.

Sorry I havent names checked. Big waves and a hand hold to those in the wobble tent.

eurozammo · 02/07/2013 22:54

sarlat you sound very happy and very level-headed. I was smiling reading your last paragraphs. I'm so pleased for you. :)

And you are right of course about every pregnancy feeling different. I was doing quite well at avoiding the menkulling until the PMT hit and I'm now living in a hormonal soup which makes it difficult to think about anything in an objective way.

Buzzybee123 · 03/07/2013 18:44

evening all :)

euro test day must be soon???

sar I have put so much weight on totally out of control but not much I can do about it, does really matter, you do sound very happy and deservedly so

rabbit I hope you called the clinic and got the ball rolling

pout I hope FIL is ok and that you made it to your appointment

lemon you must be stabbing and jabbing now, so you're on your way to getting your baby

nothing to report my end, same old same old, Kayla is still being a little monkey, I am not very motivated to do anything right now but have lots to do

MissMedusa · 03/07/2013 19:02

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to check in and say hello and that I miss you and all the support you have given me and each to other.

I needed to take a little MN hiatus after my MC in October to stop every waking second being obsessed with fertility and then I got a new job which (thankfully) keeps me off the internet during the day. I did check in from time to time and quietly celebrated and mourned with you.

In the meantime, I did get pg in April (on clomid) but have since had another mc. I'm dealing with it all a little better this time and am ready to get back in the saddle again.

I don't know how active I'm going to be, it's good for me not to get too obsessed but I'm glad to be back here sharing. I see this thread will soon come to an end so here's to the next thread being a lucky one for us all! :)

eurozammo · 03/07/2013 19:10

buzz OTD should be Sunday but as it's a weekend, it's Monday for the blood test. I'll probably test at home on Friday or Saturday.

MM I'm so sorry to hear that you have had another mc. You're welcome to drop in as often or as little as you like.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 03/07/2013 19:25

Welcome back missM, so sorry you had another MC. Not fair.

Sorry for PMT/pg-menkulling euro. Fingers crossed.

Nice to see you so happy, sar. Very well deserved. Good to see you too buzz. Glad things are okay.

Well done on The Plan, rabbit. Ignore the A+ announcement, and keep the positivity.

All well here, feeling much better. Squiffy stimming here I come might have had a sneaky few at the pub with some colleagues

Buzzybee123 · 03/07/2013 19:48

medussa welcome back yo have been missed, sorry about the miscarriage, do they offer immune testing where you are, would you consider it?? Glad the job is a distraction

euromy tubby fingers are crossed for you

lemon I think a drink is in order after DRing Wink

MuddyWellyNelly · 03/07/2013 22:10

MissM it's lovely to see you again but I'm so sorry you had 2 MCs :(. We are hear for whenever you want - as you have maybe noticed I've swung from manic-cluster-poster to MIA quite a bit recently; and the lovely 10+ers don't care.

Yes almost time for a new thread but I'm not starting it as I killed all the momentum of good news from the last one.

Euro I'm watching with interest.

Sar as always your words are so wise and shoot straight to the heart. Particularly your comment about there not being a finite number of babies. I must remember this. I am so glad that it is going well so far and love your attitude to what really matters.

Rabbit oh FFS on the A+. They really are hurtful. I feel it physically. But I like your plan and your positivity. I need to absorb some of it I think! You will of course get your baby Smile

Buzzy I hope things are settling for you a bit now? How is Barry doing with his job?

Joy are you lurking! We miss you and wish you well x

Lemon I love your squiffy tales!

AFM the CM has reappeared (nice) so I've told MrN we better do something about it. Am hoping for no more tears Blush. Then our follow up is booked and I still think my plan is Natural monitored IUI followed by LP Ivf followed by DE. Followed by imprisonment for bank robbery.

Anyway I feel a bit more level and I know you are all a part of that so thank you.

Missed loads out - Critter, Gin, Pout, MrsD, and all you other lovely ladies. Luffs to all.

Bfn for me today, ladies. Im ok. I was expecting it. At least I can get drunky on holiday now!

rabbitonthemoon · 04/07/2013 08:15

Quick post for euro sorry this wasn't the month. There is a juicy unstimmed egg just waiting in there, I feel certain of this in my bones. Lovely drinky hols await x

MuddyWellyNelly · 04/07/2013 08:43

Euro that's crap Hmm. I concur with Rabbit. This cycle was just odd. Next will be better. X

OP posts:
eurozammo · 04/07/2013 09:53

Thanks ladies. You're right - this cycle was odd and I felt that the clinic mistimed EC. We'll go again in August.

ThatWayMadnessLies · 04/07/2013 11:51

Sorry euro Sad. Next time things will go more smoothly. you know this can work for you and it will again. Drunken holiday here you come!

Buzzybee123 · 04/07/2013 12:41

euro its still early for testing, my fingers are still crossed

rabbit hope you are able to make the call today to get the ball rolling,

nelly sounds like a good plan

Barry is enjoying his work, hopefully by the end of August we will know what is happening, I need to go up and have a look round to see what I think, i'm happy to move but get worried about it too, new place new beginning etc

Poutintrout · 04/07/2013 13:35

I'm so sorry euro that this didn't turn out to be the magic cycle. The mistimed EC is a bummer & I can relate to that as I reckon that was a problem my end too. Utterly annoying.

nelly Sorry to read about your wobbles but glad that you are more fired up now with your plan.

Missm So sad to read about your MC. Do come back whenever you need to!

lemons How is your stimming going?

sarlat Glad that you are feeling a little more glowy and less pukey! I too liked your comments about being less arsed about the frippery of nursery textiles and just thankful that your pregnancy is progressing as it should.

rabbit Crap at A+ announcement. Where do they all come from?!! You sound quite positive at the moment. That is great. Did you phone the clinic?

buzz Don't worry about moving. We have done it so many bloody times now and it is daunting but you soon settle in to a new area. What is important is your home and who is in it.

Bad news at this end. FIL has died after a long illness so not unexpected. Yet again we are now trying to juggle cycle monitoring around yet another crisis! I think that it is safe to say that MrP and I are both thoroughly tired now of the IVF/infertility conveyor belt and are looking forward to getting off after the FET.

MuddyWellyNelly · 04/07/2013 13:52

Pout I'm so sorry Hmm, hope MrP is as ok as can be expected. I know what you mean, sometimes I just want it all to be over as fighting is just so draining. I'm sorry if I've missed it but where are you in terms of monitoring etc?

Buzzy the new home would be fine if that's what it boils down to. You'll still have us Grin and perhaps something else to keep you busy.....

Mad how are you? We really should meet up shouldn't we?!

OP posts:
ThatWayMadnessLies · 04/07/2013 14:51

Oh pout I'm sending positive, non stressful thoughts to you and MrM. it doesn't rain but it pours eh? Even when expected bereavement is hard.

I'm inclined to step off the conveyor belt too but i think that's the drugs talking right now. We'll get through this cycle in August and then regroup.

buzz it's great that Barry's enjoying the new job. Having a wee one will give you a good excuse to go out and meet new people.

Nelly we really should. PM me a location and we'll do it.

sar glad to hear you so upbeat. the school holster have already started - hooray!! Working not to be upset about not spending them taking care of my kids though. the long break seems lazy and decadent when you don't have family to occupy the days...

rabbit yet another quilt. I should really try to be.more ambitious.

Phone posting too hard so will be back later. Waves to all i've missed.

Poutintrout · 04/07/2013 14:53

Thanks nelly MrP is being really brave and is at work. He even carried on working until midnight when he got the call. I felt really bad for him but he is mad busy at work.

I've had my first cycle monitoring scan and now doing the OPK sticks to check for ovulation so I can book the next one for a week after. I agree that the right words to describe all this is "fight" and "draining". Scarily I wonder whether I have run out of energy and am veering towards throwing in the towel.

Poutintrout · 04/07/2013 14:54

x-posted mad How are you finding the drugs? Okay I hope Smile

eurozammo · 04/07/2013 15:06

I'm sorry to hear to MrP's loss pout.

I hear you on the energy - this whole process really is draining.
