Solars I'm still beaming at your news Grin

Biscuits NK cells are natural killer cells. I think Solars had slightly raised cells (sorry if I'm mixing you up with someone else!)
I also don't know why you left, I didn't realise at first I just thought you must have been too busy to post. Anyway I'm so glad you are back even if just for a short while Smile

I'm back from the clinic. I will be starting DR after my teach appointment on the 1st July. If there are any problems with the bloods they will call tomorrow. If everything is fine they won't call. The scan was awful, I bled so much Confused it was so embarrassing. The technician was lovely though and did her best to put me at ease. My AFC was 32 Shock so I'm a bit worried about over stimulation, the nurse said they will have to monitor that carefully. The drive was terrifying but at least I've done it now so hopefully it won't be so bad when I next do it.

Beedle are you testing on Sunday?

Hope everyone else is ok, love to Scarlett, Maybe, Geek, Sparks, Musical, Sweetie and Kitty and anyone I've missed!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/06/2013 13:48

Solars, I am still over that moon!! Hope the NK cells are ok.

Cups that gret news! By AFC do you mean AMH?! Mine was high too, it just means they'll keep a close eye on you and start you off in a lower dose of stims! How you feeling?

Munxx · 12/06/2013 13:50

Well done on the drive cups!

Brooking for favourable blood test results.

I bled so much during a trans vaginal scan once I burst into tears on a frightened DH as I thought they'd damaged me Blush

I really should leave all the brookers to it, as I'm not TTC at the moment. But I am enjoying being around. I promise not to eat all the marshmallows biscuits brought.....

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/06/2013 13:50

Oh hang on, you mean your follicles don't you? the buserilin has made me lose the plot somewhat

GenericDietCola · 12/06/2013 14:20

Wooo hoooo! Solars! Fab news! Very well deserved indeed. I knew it would be BFP as I dreamed it last night! So happy for you!

ScarlettInSpace · 12/06/2013 14:59

thanks for being so lovely everyone, i dont want you to think I'm being rude not namechecking but I really am only here on BFP announcement watch flying visits x

PS/ cups you asked about hols, yes we have a long weekend with friends on the coast next week, all childfree so far but a couple of dogs for jugdog to play with Grin then we have a fly'n'flop all inclusive booked for next month in egypt, OH agreed we needed a total break from work & life, fly 4 weeks today, cannot wait! That is deffo helping with the diet/fitness motivation...

anyway back to building budgets,boooooooring, TTFN,

ControlGeek · 12/06/2013 15:25

cups wow! Did they say how many they had expected to find, or whether they would consider short protocol for you?

I had a little nap after solars' news, and when I woke up I had to come straight back on here to make sure I hadn't dreamed it Grin gawds, lovely, you must be chuffed to the moon and back xx So what is your next step? Have they said how they will manage your NK cells from here on in?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/06/2013 15:46

Scarlett ooh I'm very jealous! Sounds great. I've got some annual leave in september. We are planning on seeing how our first ivf cycle goes so we will probably book something last minute.

Maybe and Geek yep I meant AFC, I was shocked as it was 16 last time. My amh was 19. I asked if they still thought long protocol was a good idea and the nurse said yes Blush

keepitgoing · 12/06/2013 15:54

Yay yay yay. Mine was 159ish, but a day earlier. There is huge variation don't fret about quads.

Oh I am just SO happy for you :) :)

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/06/2013 15:55

Ps Munx stay around for as long as you like. It's lovely having t
the old Brookers around Smile

keepitgoing · 12/06/2013 16:03

Sorry I posted that just before going into the cinema... Jurassic park 3d...

Am still beaming for solars

munx when might you ttc again.??

cups yay so pleased you'll start soon. Gulp at the afc, think mine was 8... I expect geek's was high though. X
Grin

ControlGeek · 12/06/2013 16:10

They didn't do an AFC for me maybe, I had a dildocam on CD2 of this cycle, before starting all my drugs, but I'm not sure why they did it. She didn't root around for my right ovary (it wasn't immediately visible), didn't count anything on the left, or at least didn't mention anything aloud, and just said that I would probably bleed for a few more days as I still had quite a bit of lining to come away. The next scan (after stims had started) counted 4 on the right, none on the left. Everything developed in a bit of a late rush Blush

ControlGeek · 12/06/2013 16:11

Hmm paracetamol are obviously getting the better of me. I did of course mean keep Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/06/2013 16:26

My AFC was high too Cups I was quite surprised too.

Jurassic park 3D?! Im so jealous Keep Grin

How is Percy tody Geek?

Scarlett so lovely to see you. I hope the pup has a fun hollibob. And you of course Wink

ControlGeek · 12/06/2013 16:38

Sore, maybe, but thanks for asking :( I'm embarrassed to say I've only just had the bright idea of moving the laptop up to the bedroom as I was fed up of hovering over the computer chair until my thighs hurt, then having to come up for a lie down to get over it Blush

Hope silence from solars means she is now out with MrS celebrating their good news :)

Solars · 12/06/2013 16:47

I wish I could visit you all and give you big hugs, I don't think I'd have got this far without all your brooking and positive thoughts. I don't think it's still sunk in yet.

Biscuits, Cups is right NK is natural killer cells which were only slightly above what they thought was good for fertility, I was given a dose of intralipids during stimming (similar to Face ) so now they want to check them again in case they are still elevated and if I may need more intralipids during the pregnancy. Will get the results back in a couple of days.

Cups great news on your scan. Afc of 32 Shock I'm sure they will monitor you quite closely but make sure you're drinking plenty of water when you are stimming.

They do daily bloods over the next week to check my hcg levels are still rising so I'm in again tomorrow!

Thanks again and big hugs to Gen, Maybe, Geek, Cups, Scarlett, Face, Smegs, Rubber, Musical, Biscuits, Boo, Sparkes, Keep, Munx, Sweetie and Beedle hope that is everyone I hope the grads are still sticking around, I sure will be until it actually feels real xx

solars I am in Shock at your self-control - you mean you have spent the entire day on your own, including the trip to the clinic? Fair play to you (and in your condition, too)!

keep I didn't know they had done a Jurassic Park 3D - might have to put it on the list :)

What's everyone having for tea? I am having hot dogs with real sausages because I'm a lazy cah and can't think of anything more imaginative

Biscuitsandtea · 12/06/2013 17:51

Yes, well done Solars - you've been through a lot today and to do it on your own well, with just us for company Wink is jolly impressive. Bet you can't wait to see MrS tonight Smile

Geek we're having spinach lasagne - first time I've managed to get my arse in gear and cook an actual meal for ages! Grin

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 12/06/2013 18:15

Fajitas at chez boo tonight :)

Wow Solars well done for keeping calm and sane doing what you did today with just us for company. Might I make an nearly suggestion for baby Solars name?? I'm thinking ray or sunbeam Grin

ControlGeek · 12/06/2013 18:21

Ooh yes, we need a name! sunbeam or sunny, definitely Grin

Mmmmm biscuits I lurve spinach lasagne. Might have to put that on the list for the weekend.

And yum to fajitas, too, boo - sour cream and guacamole? Got to be done, although I've now got a bit of a craving for garlic bread, thinking about the spinach lasagne!
