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???

Hope the phone call comes nice and early this morning geek with lots of good news of course.

I'm back to work today, still feeling a bit bloated and achey but I managed to do up my jeans and I've chosen a top that hides the bloat -I think :o

I think its solars unless cups is going to sneak in an ironic waiting-for-IVF BFP

Hope that call comes very soon Geek

How are you feeling Solars and Beedle? You three count as a triple whammy right? Give or take a few days

Brooking for your call Geek

thinking of you geek waiting for the call is very hard

Morning brookers, hope everybody is enjoying this fabulous sunshine!

solars not long til Sunday now lovely

beedle how are you feeling? Can't believe you can go to work in jeans!

cup brooking that AF doesn't have the cheek to show, but that if she does that your clinic are very accommodating and that there's no hint of a refusal.

I'm feeling a lot better than I thought I would, I just have a lot of air bubbling round, a bit like if I've had chewing gum or something. Does anyone know why the anaesthetic makes your throat hurt so much though?

Started on the bum bullets last night. Injections, I can cope with. Dildocam during a period, it's a doddle. But pushing a pessary up my bum with my finger, why can I just not do that? I'm actually looking forward to ET so that I can start putting them in the front.

Geek I'm not a medical type but I think it is because when you're under ga they stick a tube down your throat to help you breathe, could be wrong though

Yeah, I think Boo could be right, something to do with the tube down your throat, Geek by the way I won't be testing on Sunday Pessaries are evil, fact, I'm still using the back as I had terrible fallout in the front last time.

Maybe I'm ok, suffering from trapped wind I think and bloating, also flitting between this has not worked & maybe this is our time but trying to stay positive

I got the call!

6 out of 8 have fertilised! They are very happy with that, and will call me tomorrow to arrange a time for me to go up to the clinic on Sunday. While I am there on Sunday they will discuss the development with me and we will decide in conjunction with the embryologist's advice whether we go ahead with the transfer that day, or whether we wait until day 5 (Tuesday).

OMG this is really happening :)

geek tis very casual here, we were joking with one of my colleagues the other week that he must have a job interview cos he had a smart jacket over his casual shirt, jeans and trainers :o

Oh I may have been wrong about the lack of leakage from my progesterone gel, but its only once a day so its not too bad not sure where it all went the first 2 days Out of inetrest what dose is everyone on? my gel is equal to 90mg of progesterone.

Oh and since you asked how I'm feeling. I'm slightly constipated, still a bit bloated, sore boobs and I have a nice collection of spots growing on my forehead. But otherwise I'm fine. mentally, I'm convinced it won't work, or it will and we'll get twins and never sleep again. But mainly that it won't work.

Oh that's fab news geek

Oh yes I forgot about my collection of spots too Beedle! My dose is 400mg twice a day, but if it was the injection it would have been 100mg once a day but that must mean it has something to do with how the body absorbs or processes whichever type of prog you use??

Geek that's great news!!!

great news geek. Will they update you daily until Sunday?

Beedle I am on 4 x 200 mg capsules of progesterone but I am an old bird

Geek that is brilliant, so pleased for you!

beedle your workplace sounds fab! It's suit and tie for the blokes, smart business wear for the ladies where I am. And they say the world of IT is relaxed! Loving your symptoms Brooking for your twins! My dose is also 400mg twice daily, but as sweetie says I think your body's absorption rate varies depending on how it is administered. I'd imagine a gel to be absorbed much quicker.

sweetie I too wondered if they would update me daily until Sunday, then I realised that Sunday is the day after tomorrow anyway As they are calling tomorrow anyway, I'll get as much info as I can out of them.

No spots here yet, thank goodness, but sore norks like you wouldn't believe.

V unimpressed with Morrisons own test sticks. Today's was definitely showing fainter than the IC, and took much longer to come up, too. Day 2 was the strongest line, today's was much fainter but I think that's because I used 5am weak wee as I woke up bursting to go.

Oops I did of course mean 'as solars said' if this is what having embies in a petri dish does to me, I'm dreading what I'll be like after they are put back in

My dose does seem much lower than yours though, its not like you're taking tablets and I'm stuffing something up inside me. And surely its some kind of gel inside the pessaries. I'm imagining something that looks like an fish oil capsule that you swallow but maybe I'm wrong. Well its obviously working as my boobs are sore so I won't worry much

geek that is very early baby brain you have :o

beedle my pessaries look like white wax candles, pointy at one end and tapered towards the other a bit like a cartoon torpedo. I think the active ingredient is just mixed in with the waxy type stuff and gets released as the wax melts with the bodyheat. I get the impression they don't 'contain' anything, as in a liquid centre or anything like that.

So much for a peaceful week off work, the cats are driving me round the bend already. In, out, in, out, want food, want to chew on my slipper, chasing flies, in, out, meow, meow, hiss, fight...

I did some googling (good thing its very quiet at work today) and found this

My mind is at rest :o

Oh they sound delightful geek :o

That's a great link beedle, your gel sounds streets ahead of our pessaries! Not too sure on this bit though:

"One minor drawback: Suspension gel can accumulate within the vagina and some women may need to have it removed every few days"

yes, I'm not sure who I should ask to remove it. :o

Though that might explain why I didn't have leakage for the first 2 days, now it has built up its starting to leak. Though I did have my cervix washed :o before ET she didn't have to scrub with a loofah

Oh beedle that's just made me think of a Kim & Aggie spin of along the lines of 'How Clean Is Your Cervix'

Perhaps try asking close friends and family first and if that fails, random people in the street?

I had the candle ones last time but this time mine are more like a soft capsule with gel inside. They are still a right mess and the capsule sort of melts but not totally.

I was mortified when I went for ET as the nurse had to clean both inside and outside my bits

She had told me she would have to so I was prepared at least.
