Taking No Nonsense and Brooking No Argument We Get Our BFP's, with or without assistance!

[Solars]

So who's next in line for that BFP???

Love the scientific experiment geek I read somewhere that it takes one day for the hcg to reduce by 1000, so after 6 days they should be negative. Then you can start watching for the proper positive :o
They'll only put 1 back this time and freeze a maximum of 3, even if all 12 are still alive and are perfect (as if). I'm hoping we'll get a frostie or two.
Oh and I haven't been in loads of pain, I haven't taken any paracetamol since Monday, but I have been making use of my hot water bottle, I hope you have one. If not go out and buy one today, even better send mrgeek :o

Thanks boo hopefully I'll be having newborn cuddled in 9 months time like you are now.

Oh and geek sometimes it feels like someone has poked something large and pointy up my bottom. I know they didn't cos I was awake the whole time :o but as you won't be awake you might wonder what exactly they were doing to you whilst you were under :o

Just to clarify, I don't actually know what it feels like to have something large and pointy poked up my bottom :o

Now I'll stop posting and do some work.

beedle you were awake? The didn't give you a GA?? I'm so glad you mentioned about that feeling, or I am sure if I had it I would be wondering if they had had to retrieve through there rather than up my fanjo! That 1000 thing is good to remember, I shall use that to see just how sensitive these tests are! I have a hot water bottle but it's expected to be very hot here from Thursday/Friday onwards so I don't think I'll be up to it. What time do you need to go back to the clinic for?

keep bless you, that sounds very embarrassing. I've only tried to use a bedpan once, but my bladder had shut down after the op I'd had, so they ended up leaving me on it for the best part of an hour before catheterising me.

Oh, and keep you mentioned about the mat leave spreadsheet - yes, MrG being out of work would seriously change things. However, thanks to the spreadsheet I have now been able to reassure him that whilst things would be painfully tight, we could manage (just, providing we never bought anything for ourselves and lived on a ridiculously small food budget) survive just on my wage. I also pointed out that he could be a SAHD which would mean we would never have childcare costs. Knowing we could survive and keep the house seems to have relaxed him a lot. I would still be able to take 20 weeks' mat leave - not as much as I would like, but still 20 week without dink boss!

Yes I was awake, I just had a couple of paracetamol and some local anesthetic and 2 shots of morphine I was slightly dizzy after each shot of morphine but I could watch on the screen what the doctor was doing and speak to them. Luckily they decided when I went in that we would speak English :o Then when they were done, I walked back to the room and rested in bed for a couple of hours. I was well enough to eat breakfast once MrB came back from JIAJ ( the first time)

Crap my colleague's daughter has chicken pox

Linking here for convenience as I'm at work so can't keep everything open constantly.

Beedle I am brooking for you today. Roll on 12!!

Keep I'm glad all is coming along well. Are you excited about coming back to the uk?

Solars I cannot wait for confirmation of your BFP.

Geek that's great you've reassured MrG. I'm mr sure about the chicken pox situation. I'm sure someone will be akin with some stellar advice soon

I would call your clinic Geek and ask them. We were told to keep away from sick people.

Beedle I can't believe you were awake fr your collection we had to only have a half full bladder which was fine compared to the last time when it had to full and they were running an hour late!

In terms of after the procedure I felt no discomfort whatsoever they did tell us to take paracetamol every 4 hours over the next 24hrs but I didn't apart from in the evening when I felt a little crampy.

Hi Maybe how are you doing? When do you have to go in for your scan?

geek the Nhs says if you've had the pox not to worry, and even if you've not then to tell mw of significant contact, fifteen no.s with a person. Call your clinic, am sure they'll say its fine.

Mynext scan is the 18th Solars, hoping to start stimming on the 19th. Ijustcant believe how tired I am and fat I feel!

I also won't be having a GA for EC. They give a bit of sedation and gas and air.

And can I ask a random question. I had a blind panic today. My vials of buserilin are 5.5ml. I am taking 0.5mls a day which should mean 11 doses. Yet I have taken 9 doses and there's more than 2 doses left. So now I'm worried I'm doing it wrong.

I'm not sure maybe but I believe they always overfill the syringes? I would check with the clinic x

Thanks Keep I will give them a call x

No phone calls :o so we're leaving soon.

Woo hoo Beedle you're going to be our newest pupo :):):)

Fab :) good luck!!! Xxxxxxx

Beedle woo hoo so exciting. hope it all goes well

Good luck beedle! Brooking my socks off for you to have max returnees and frosties xxx

Well the good news is I am PUPO

But only 3 of the eggs even fertilized any they were all a bit crap, so they put 2 back. I'm not feeling very hopeful.

Yay! Beedle you're pupo! Try not to worry. You had embies and we are brooking for them. You may be the next twin brooker!

Beedle congrats on being pupo and please stay positive lovely. I have heard so many stories that not so good embies can still get you pregnant and equally people who have had brilliant embies put back have not got pregnant, you just can't tell what will happen! I'm brooking for you x

beedle yay, go you! You're IVF rather than ICSI, right? Fertilisation rates are usually reported to be lower with IVF, but with the same pregnancy rate. I think it's because ICSI gives those eggs that are not normally viable a chance to get as far as fertilisation, whereas you have a genuine fertilisation rate if that makes sense?

Brooking like crazy for you!

Beedle congratulations on being a PUPO. Try not to worry as this IVF is a black art and sometimes against the odds it all comes together. Try to take it easy. I am Brooking that your little embies are making themselves very comfortable for the next 8.5 months

No geek that was with ICSI. They couldn't /wouldn't say if it was an egg problem or a sperm problem. But we'll see what happens.
I'm feeling a bit better now but it came as quite a shock to be told it had gone so badly and have to decide if we should put 2 back. When they had previously told us they would almost certainly only put one back.
