[juicypair]

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

Quick hello before bed!

wish sorry to hear about pain and worry, I always trusted that they knew what they were doing. I'd ring tomorrow if I were you and put your mind at rest. You can tell them you're feeling a bit breathless and hopefully they will have results back by then too

joos what a fucking horrific experience. I hate cruelty to animals and would have been distraught and v scared. Keep your chin up girl, we're all with you in spirit

karbea well done on the trigger, wow, you're so close. Ec Friday morning?

resipsa just wanted to say sorry you're having issues with DH and a stressful time of it

mejust sorry your jab was painful, hang on in there

tame you poor thing, still thinking of you

buzzy great news re the heartbeat

Hello to motor, life, nokkie, nooknook, euro, lemon, nobeer and anyone I've forgotten! fab I think you're still ahead of me! We have a consultation on Tues to sort protocol and some dates, but will be mid to late July that we start I expect- but probably short protocol

Night x

wish im sure they will call you with results in the morning and they will be able to tell alot more from bloods what day are you on ? have you had ivf before .they know what they are doing and im sure they will look after you although it wont stop you being worried speak to them tomorrow and air your concerns.i hope your ok x

chocco i wish i was on short protocol
euro atleast i know its normal then last night was ok today hurt eally bad and bled alot and instant purple bruise its putting me off for tomorrow though.
im quite nervous now on the stimms.
motor how are you getting on and is your donor doing well?

Thanks everyone. You've helped me stop stressing so much. I will phone tomorrow just to put my mind at rest or at least to get another scan.

mejust im on day 7 of stimming so should be heading toward to the size the follies should be, not having them multiply! How are you feeling? Better?

wish yes thanks im feeling a bit better now just nervous due to the pcos like you and it will be a whole week till they scan me after starting stimms they told me im on a low dose well normal 150 menopur .
if you feel unwell tell them you want to come in tomorrow im sure they will see you.how long have you felt ill i hope it calms down.

Mejust I've been uncomfortable since my first scan, I think she just poked and prodded everything making it all hurt. After having my scan I told them id been uncomfortable an she said she wasn't surprised considering how active my ovaries have been which was weird cause Monday they were going at a normal rate.

Whilst talking to the nurse she pointed out that I seemed breathless which I hadn't noticed until them. I have a cold so am putting it down to that now. DP is just panicking and making me think its more I hope

Glad you're feeling better. They didnt scan me until 5 days after stimms either so don't worry too much. It's always a slow start

Juicy hope all goes well today

Morning all

Where to start!

juicy good luck for today, make sure you open nice and wide for the docs catapult! I had to give my moggy a hug after reading your experience. Horrific for the cat (and the man going through an episode, when he comes to i expect he will feel disgusted), how is your back? Just horrid.

buzz a heartbeat. Just beautiful. I hope you are relaxing a bit more now.

wish can you send your team an email? Just to tell them how you feel so you get a nurses response, maybe theres something you can do tonhelp? I am watching closely as I think we will share a path. Its good to know that someone here euro has had experience and it nly lasted 1 day. I thought it was indefinate once you had it.

Speaking of euro thats great! Staying relaxed seems a good option, but I'm intrigued by your sprinting away from EC?

tame < back stroke>

fabulace and nobeer welcome, come in, sit down, have this

This thread is ace as i'm finding it helpful to know on eal terms - what happens next/what can go wrong. The books tell you a+b=c (maybe) but do not tell you which are capitals, lowercase and in italics. Shit- that was a serious tangent ive gone off on . I'll leave it though as I think it is a good analogy.

karbea how exciting! Rooting for you for today.

mejust its just not cricket for you, is it? This is a few weeks out of a whole lifetime. The jab might hurt, but so will childbirth! Did you go pharmacy to see about the numbing cream? Are your drugs at room temp? I find if cold it stings more. Actually - you're on menupur right? Maybe some othersnhave some tips.

How do any of you understand what I am saying? Those typos are horrendous! Why is apple spell check so illusive ? And why do I only read back after I've posted.

Anyhoo... (The fucker highlighted that word in red...) I'm fine. Feeling a tad low and probably need to get out and about. I keep thinking of my ovaries as being gremlin type mutant objects! It has also make me consider cancellation/ IVF failure a bit more. I said 'consider' not worry. My DH is worried about me again, but not enough to bring in another box of ferrero rochers, I notice

I did advise him yesterday that he needed to wank every few days on the advice given here, but if he would prefer to ejaculate in the traditional way, I was more than willing . I was offered ben and jerries instead

I'm fine though, and will probably focus more on others for the next few days as we have a flurry of activity here!

respisa have you considered that your DH may be using finances as an excuse for not trying again? Maybe he took the final result worse than you did? Maybe he did not like to see what you went through?

I'll try not to badger you, but I found out some surprising things from DH when we had counselling and we communicated fairly well even back then. It is unfair that he has blocked you out a bit, but it does show that he has deep worries/concerns ( or surely he would have done a blank - I'm not discussing this).

Maybe I'm making too many assumptions, but it if there is an underlying issue on his part, maybe he is scared to face it let alone discuss it. Remember it is harder to face a loved one going through tough times than to go through it yourself.

Hi everyone. We managed to dtd last night - last ditch attempt before we start treatment. OH was in a better mood when I got in last night so I'm pleased about that.

Have woken up feeling very negative and sad today :(

twinks why are you so sad today, big hugs

life hopefully they won't cancel your cycle, sometimes they learn as they go along

buzzy they had better be googling and consulting worldwide for me!
How are you doing?

twinks have you got things to do? 2 things to remember: 1. How you feel right now will not make a difference to the outcome, so you may as well try to force positive thoughts or at least neutral (this is my aim) as negativity won't change shit, but a positive/ neutral outlook will get you through thehere and now.

1. That clinic has to make someone pregnant. Why not you?

life you must be a bit of an enigma to them with that AFC :)

hello everyone life dont know about you but i dont feel normal at all more drained mentally going through it i think more because im on long protocol and really just want to finish it now iv had enoughcant even eat chocolate or nice takeaway aas my tabs wont let me.i dont seem to have much support from my family i get more support on this thread.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for your kind wishes after yesterday, I am sore but have woken up with an entirely fresh attitude to my stay here. I have no right to whine and whinge about this town when it is offering me the opportunity of a lifetime. Some women would give their right arm to be here having this treatment and I need to give my head a shake and be grateful.

I prayed all night for the cat whilst th'usband was out at the firework display. I hope she loses her life quickly and peacefully away from her tormentor somehow. Buzzy, this awful incident happened on our way back from the castle as we approached the Old Town.

We've just returned from the beautiful Reprogenesis where DH did his stuff and he was taught how to inject me in the buttock every day from tomorrow with Agolutin (progesterone) until test day (2nd July). I also have to inject every day with Fraxiparine, an anti-clotting agent (I can't tell you how stupidly thrilled I am with this huge bag of injections. Love 'em!) These, along with the shot of Pregnyl on transfer day, have cost us 132 euros today, along with 500 euros for embryo monitoring and 90 euros for DH's STD blood test If there is a pregnancy I stop the injections and instead use progesterone vaginal pessaries.

I feel more buoyant today and really very grateful to have this opportunity, no matter what the outcome

I'm sorry some of you seem to be suffering: Fish, WishWash & Mejust, remember this will pass and will lead to a baby for some of us! just not me

Tortie, how are you, sweetheart? I'm thinking of you lots and cyber-squeezing you tightly x

Motor, how are you, lovely? When is EC for your donor?

Fish, I like your positivity, you are very wise x

Resipsa, your husband is more upset than I realised. Have the past two years been difficult since the birth of DD? Daft question really. Maybe your relationship has suffered somewhat since her birth? I don't mean to speculate negatively because I know nothing about you but I can only assume there are some real tough times in the first couple of years which lots of men would quite simply not wish to replicate in such a short space of time.

mejust you have really suffered with the down reg - I started a day after you I think, so we both did it for about 3 weeks? What are your symptoms now? What tabs won't let you have good shit like take out and chocolate? Tell me more about your life and we will look for a solution together!

Have you told the clinic how you are feeling? Do you read? Can you do somto immerse yourself in another world? I mean this in the nicest possible way - but are you pondering too much over the IVF? Have you discussed yours fears with your DH? He will know you better than us so may have some good advice?

What about speaking with the counsellor?

Re support from family - while my friends all know, my family don't. I have a toxic mother and realised dealing with her lack of support at times is more hurtful than dealing with the issue at hand and my siblings don't give a fuck. Also, again in the nicest possible way - people just don't realise how hard this is, have you to, them what you need from them? You families lack of support can be due to various factors from toxic to paralysed and silent due to concern/ worry for you.

You do not have to continue to involve them.

Thx buzzy and fish.

Fish - that made me smile so thanks so much!

I was feeling down because I feel like a freak an its not going to work and instead of this being the last step in TTC, what if its the first step in accepting a childless future :(

I went out with a friend and my sister last night and we were talking about it and my sister said 'I'd be devastated if it was me.' I'm hardly dancing a merry jig, am I?

Sorry - have you told them what you need from them?

Can you read to immerse yourself into another world?

Juicy - your resilience is great! I thought you were ET today, hence the catapult comment. Whats all this 'just not me' nonsense? You don't know that. None of us do.

mejust you have been suffering, I think you should talk to the clinic, you need to surround yourself with supportive people, negative ones will only bring you down, its hard to distract yourself but whatever you can do will help, big hugs

twinks family can be fuckers when it comes to infertility. I've had the most insensitive comments from my nearest and dearest (mum: you should be trying for a baby, you are going 'off', exasperated me: we've been trying over a year, Mum: oh. It only took me a month with you all, you're sister was a honeymoon baby)

We were encouraged to envisage a future without children with our individuality and marriage at the centre. Is not perfect, but is not bad. We were encouraged to not think of having a child as 'defining' us as a couple, but as an optional extra. Like alloys on a car.

Be kind to yourself. At the moment i'm staying well clear of my lot! Will pop over for fathers day but it will be a pit stop because I'm liable to get gangsta with any dodgy comments even if they are not aware.

Wtf - buzzy said everything I did in my essay in a fucking sentence!

I'm and better go wash my fanny so I can leave the house!

(Was that a step too far? )

life where are yo and your clean fanny going

Costco.
