Hello,

I'm back from blood test and scan this morning (stim day 3). All looks good, 6 follicles one side, 5 the other, but early days so they could slip back, I only managed 8 eggs last time so fingers crossed. I think last time I started with more then had less, but the dr said that there are defo more this time.

Glad the rain hasn't hindered you!

Hello everyone!

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 12:26

hey ladies I had a scan, its measuring a little small but there was a heartbeat so now have to wait till next week for another scan

Fabuluce · 04/06/2013 12:52

How are you doing Buzzy? Any further news? Hoping that no news is good news and keeping everything crossed for you.

Good news buzz. Get your feet up and lets all keep praying xxxx

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 13:53

all sonographers have trouble finding things inside i'm usually full of gas and one of my ovaries is always hiding and my bowels always want to be in the picture i'll keep holding onto the idea that it is my wonky womble for now, thank you ladies

juicy its looking alright in Prague, the levels are receding now

JuicyMelons · 04/06/2013 14:35

[comes up for air and removes snorkel] Just in the bath practising my underwater breathing but there's very little room for these flippers...

Buzzy, I think I shall die of a heart attack on your behalf before I drown in Prague. What a relief to know everything is okay and what a thrill to see a heartbeat! You are so privileged at this early stage, no? Lovely news Thanks

Tortie, yes, the sperm is the answer for you & DH, no doubt about it. I actually feel envious of my FF 'friend' who's going for double donors next week. She's guaranteed frosties aswell as two blastos at transfer because of the bionic super-duper eggs & spaff she's getting. How lovely to not have to worry about your own or your husband's issues

Expat, remind me when EC is predicted for you. Is it next Wednesday? Very excited for you stimmers.

Choco, resipsa, fish, mejust, euro, nooknook, nokkie, twinkle: how the blazes are you? Smile Come on..stop lurking and working and come and chat...

Still no side effects from the drugs I'm on. Surely a combination of prednisolone and oestrogens should have me lurking on cliff edges by now?

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 15:09

what does is the pred, I didn't have any reaction to the hydroxy or progynova, I'm not if it is a privileged, its more because I have a history that they scan me so early

I hate to say but de and ds doesn't guarantee you a baby, I know a lady who had the works at Serum and I mean the works £8,000+ 3 blastos put back and a BFN, it does increase your chances though sadly in this business there is no guarantee

expat I have heard its quite nice, just make sure you go home and rest and are well taken care of

Karbea · 04/06/2013 16:37

Had my call and another 450 fostimon for me tonight.

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 16:45

karbea when are you expecting EC to be

wishuponapositive · 04/06/2013 16:56

Hey ladies! I was catching up with the day and I have to say buzzy, you've just made a hard day so much better :-) what lovely news!

I couldn't have my trial ET today because AF turned up last night and they want me to bleed for 24 hours. Typically I have pretty much stopped bleeding so I'm panicking that they're gonna cancel everything! Aaaerrgggggh!

It's exciting, there seems to be a few of us going through this cycle together Smile

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 17:20

the witch always has impeccable timing, yes there are a few of you about to cycle :)

Karbea · 04/06/2013 17:22

buzzy I've no idea, I think last time it was day 13, but I was LP last time and short this time.

expat yes I'm short protocol too.

I really wish I could give up chocolate, I really need to cut out the sugar :( just hoovered down a mint aero bar 61g sugar :(((((

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 17:28

ha I thought you meant sucked it up the vaccum Wink i'm sure there is protein in that

Karbea · 04/06/2013 17:31

Ooo I read it wrong, 25g of sugar, 2.1g of protein :S

wishuponapositive · 04/06/2013 17:32

I'm the same, if I cut chocolate out I get terrible headaches. I've taken to sucking on a good ole Bon Bon to get my sugar fix, yes the sweet, not DP's danglies, much to his dismay Wink

JuicySteak · 04/06/2013 17:56

[lifts butter knife away from inner thigh] Does anyone have owt sharper than this?

Do you remember th'usband having to go and have one of his blood tests done again as the vacuous, should-have-stuck-to-hairdressing nurse omitted to test for anti HBc total? No? That's 'cos you weren't fucking listening. Anyway..he had the test re-done last Wednesday and would you bastard believe it? ReproG have just emailed me to say the cocksack of a nurse has not done the correct test AGAIN.

I rang the lab and began hollering and crying about blood and shit nurses and embryoscopes (we can't have embryo monitoring without this test having been done first) and she kindly told me to shut up and get my GP to authorise the test. She'll do it from th'usband's frozen sample from last week. I wept even more with relief. I know some of you will think I'm stupid but I swear I would defer this trip if I was told we couldn't have the embryo monitoring.

Buzzy, I didn't mean to infer that you should be 'grateful' for the privilege of the scan per se. I simply meant what a privilege for any of us to be reassured at such an early stage thanks to the miracle of science. I know your past heartache means you are permitted these early scans x

buzzybee123 · 04/06/2013 19:38

juicywhy can't they just do the blood test when you are there?? I don't really understand why they need it to do the embryo monitoring ?? I hope you don't have to postpone after you have got this far

anyone who has had a miscarriage is able to get an early scan, it just depends on where you live and your PCT.

Karbea well with those low figures you should be able to have another one Wink

tametortie · 04/06/2013 19:56

Well, what a fucking fucked up fucking day I have had Hmm You could not even begin to make this shit up. I am on my arse here. Don't know what is going on. I will do personals in a mo but I need to share this with you all first.

SO, as you can tell from my posts over the past few days, I had really moved on from the pregnancy loss and really wanted to make positive steps towards another cycle. Its not that I am heartless, we just really needed to close the door and move on.

We decided that today was the day for action. DH was going to get a copy of his karotyping results, book the DNA frag test and I was going to get the result of yesterdays HCG and hopefully draw a line under the sorry saga. I even considered a lovely bottle of pink fizz tonight to toast what might have been.....romantic ay?........

So was in a meeting at work and my mobile went off and I dashed out as it was a private number. And it was my friend the fertility consultants secretary. She asked what my number was on Friday- I said it was very low, only 65.3. And she said 'oh, well says this is a good rise, its come back as 272* '

What the fuck is going on?

I have also done a clear blue digi (damn you buzzy!!!!) and it has come back as 2-3. A rise from last week.

I dont understand.

Please someone, help me and guide me. I need lots of hand holding because I just dont know whats going on. Sad

twinklestar2 · 04/06/2013 19:57

Fab news buzzy to see the heartbeat. I agree, get your feet up and relax. So stressful for you.

I had my appointment today. They scanned my ovaries - all is ok. We are going back in a couple of weeks when we'll learn about the different injections, when to do them, etc. Got loads of paperwork to read through.

Girls, how do you know which protocol you should go on? My doc asked me which one I wanted to go on and I said short (because of taking less drugs). But not I'm not so sure. What's the difference? I'm panicking because I want to make sure I do what's right for me, I feel like I shouldn't have made the choice because of the reason of taking less drugs.

twinklestar2 · 04/06/2013 19:58

Omg tame! Holding your hand here, I truly hope it works out for you - it's looking good no?

chocoloco1 · 04/06/2013 20:06

tame a rise sounds good , no? what did they say they thought was going on when they phoned?You properly bled too didn't you? What will they plan to do next? Sorry, questions are probably not what you were hoping for. So it's doubled every 48 hours since Friday then, well hopefully they will test you again in 48 hours. Am really willing everything to work out for you x
