NokklingtonStStation, I couldn't find a new thread so I made this one, cock. Hope I did the right thing

lemon I drank until we went out to Brno, I doubt it makes much difference at this stage

euro when are you expecting your pre ivf instadiff

Lemon, I genuinely thought I had!! Test day was 31st and tested positive on the 27th/28th but started bleeding on the 28th.

Kind of put it down to chemical/early mc. On the 31st my clinic did bloods and hcg came back as 65.3. Very very low so assumed it was on its way down because I was still bleeding as well. Red blood too, not just spotting. Not heavy but enough to wear a pad. Had another hcg on Monday to really confirm all was over and it came back at 272. and yesterdays was 631.

I honestly haven't a clue what has happened. My embies were a little behind when they were put in so may be they implanted late, I lost one, was actually testing trigger shot on the 28th, I haven't a Scooby.

Bleeding has stopped apart from the odd smidge of brown. I have sore boobs. I am constantly red in the face. I haven't a clue. And neither has anyone on here!!! We have speculated for 2 weeks and im no clearer. Tuesdays scan should help. Im a little scared it will show fuck all. I am quite prepared for what is there to be behind dates cos I reckon what's there has all happened very late.

Im 5+3 today according to egg collection but reckon ill be a few days behind if embie implanted late. Does that make sense?

Wow tame what a rollercoaster. Fingers crossed the right gets peaceful and happy from now. Scary scannage. Keeping everything crossed.

I agree it can't do too much harm buzz. So I don't feel guilty. I have lost the will to be all virtuous. But the hormones tend to give me bad headaches, so I think I'll lay of the wine by that point. Btw are you getting a little excited yet?

So pleased for you tame.

I can't keep up with all the messages!

Motor - good attitude :)

Permission to go to bed please! Had a rotten day - dropping things, forgetting things, bumping into things, being tongue-tied.

tortie It might be a few weeks before you get a clear answer but right now things are moving in the right direction :)

lemon I'm a natural worrier so I worry that my symptoms are not as strong today although grateful as I can function I'm not going to know anything until next Wednesdays scan, so I imagine I'll have a few mental moments between now and then, maybe if I get out of the first trimester I might feel things are heading my way, its hard not having Barry around as I don't like to worry about him while he is so far away, so can't really tell him things but I do have a good support network, my boss emailed me today and my supervisor came to check on me and to sort out some paperwork, so lots of hugs when I need them from colleagues

I just feel everyday drags on and on. . . .

nite nite motor :)

lemon yes that was me, before my first ivf I think.

Gawd I'd forgotten how much clexane hurts!!!

Oh, Buzzy, I'm annoying you unintentionally I really wasn't suggesting Reprofit use back-up donors...I was wondering what they'd do if a donor 'failed in her job' so to speak. Let's change the subject...your clinic have done you proud and I can only dream and pray mine will do the same. How are you feeling today in terms of confidence? When is Bazza back? Hope you're not lonely in the evenings X

tame buzzy what incredibly stressful/exciting times you are having at the moment. So easy to say just think of the positives when you're on the other side but I guess you know the difference in this group is that we've all been there and know how it feels. Which hopefully helps you feel more positive knowing you have all this lovely support :)

juicester whilst reading all this neggy stuff is bad - this seems such a time of genuine promise for you. Again - having all this support behind you must be an amazing feeling - lap it up!!

And on another note... Does anyone else have a boss they really hate? I have one who is a super high net worth bloke who is a total nobber - always has been. I also have another who has mostly had my back and for the most part has supported me but has now turned into a surprise nobber which somehow is worse - I now have disappointment as well as stress and anger - none of which is conducive to being in a state of lovely calm and chillaxedness in readiness for the pleasure vale that is ivf. And even though I've managed to amend my hours so I now do 10-6.30 to make it less stressful ...having only got home 15 mins ago somehow it doesn't seem to be working very well :( booo. Soz for the work bitchmoan. Just had to let it out!

juicy I just think odd things are being said about your clinic, but its your choice and you have to be happy with it which you are but some of the post on FF have upset you, which is a pity just before you go

fab my last boss was a mega bitch and totally unsupportive through my miscarriages, thankfully she left, can you talk to Occupational health or HR, they should be able to support you, you shouldn't be stressed just because he is a knobhead

Juicy- dont listen to negative posts on ff.

You are going to have success and their negative experiences have no bearing on you xxx

buzzy my bosses are the CEO and chairman - they win top trumps over HR unfortunately!!

fab I don't think they do, if they are in the wrong it doesn't matter who they are

morning everyone im still exhausted it just wont go away iv got no energy at all today and feel pretty bad and i hate it as im one of those who cant sit still.

motor have the drugs made your head a shed then i gather after reading your post but looks like you got some rest and an early night much deserved.

juicy are you all worked up and excited now only a couple of days to go have you packed all your new dresses.

expat any news today? how are you after EC? i hope your eggs doing well

mejust I guess it must be the meds. I thought I had got away with no side effects, but it seems not! I'm having a great deal of difficulty concentrating, and yesterday, if there was something to drop, or trip over or bang into, I would. I feel marginally better this morning after a good nights sleep. I'm really hoping that it is not going to get much worse, else I'll become a liability! I have heard that the introduction of oestrogen helps, and I'll be starting tht on Monday, so fingers crossed.
How are you getting on?

motor hi glad your feeling better today,iv not had any headaches or hot sweats with me i was bit snappy and moody but that seems to have gone now and been replaced with feeling exhausted.
do you have scan monday if i remember right mines the same day.

Yes mejust, scan on Monday to check that my womb lining is thin, I think. And start on progynova. You too? Glad you are coping okay so far, and that I will have a cycle buddy. My donor's EC is scheduled for 24th June (I feel terribly guilty that someone else is going through this on my behalf, though I am paying for her IVF!) and ET for 27th or 29th. How about you?

motor yes scan monday to check lining then if all ok start menopur twice aday so we should be nearly exact same dates,my clinic wants to do 5 day blast transfer all being well.
dont feel guilty about the donor if she did ivf with out donating she would have to do the same and your helping each other to get what you both want,my recipient isnt paying for mine shes on the nhs.
I am still shocked iv had to do this and it doesnt seem real that im actually doing it if that makes sense as im a wimp with procedures and i dont like the needle in the back of the hand it bloody hurts but i tend to over think things but i am trying to go with the flow.not sure how i will be when 2 more injections aday are added to the mix but it has to be done my main concern out of it all is ohss im hoping the metformin tabs im on are working to fix my pcos which will lower the risk.

Well done, Motor and Mejust, I'm glad you have each other as cycle buddies.

I've had a reply from the clinic regarding back-up donors:

"Yes, we do have back-up donors. Because we also keep a database of frozen embryos, we always stimulate two donors of the same blood type and with similar physical features. So the back-up donor is then paid by couple who is interested in frozen donated embryos. After all, even though we take all necessary precautions, we cannot fully control a human body. If something did not go the way we expected, we would inform you immediately and give you the opportunity to consider using the back-up donor. I would like to emphasize that this would absolutely not happen unless we have your consent."

So that's my final answer: no more phone-a-friend or ask the audience

Does anyone else find that they are more buoyant and libidinous whilst taking oestrogens? I am loving these drugs

motor and mejust it will improve when you move onto the eostogens you just have to hang on in there

tortie will you get your next hcg results on the weekend or monday

juicy good to see you have answers now that must put your mind at rest,im feeling yappy today as you can tell

happy to be told it will improve it seems like foreveeeeeer though

juicy I love the idea of feeling buoyant and libidinous, though if it leads to prancing about like Julia Roberts and all that follows I'm a bit nervous!
