[juicypair]

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

[EuroShaggleton]

Ooo, we're nearing the end of the thread. Can I put in my request for a non-sweary title for the next one please, so I can pop on from work?

Fanks.

[tametortie]

Euro- you pissing spoil sport!! can't believe how fast we fill it!

[twinklestar2]

Thx euro. I had my last drink last Friday. That's it for me now.

I'm not smoking again now, feel so guilty.

I drink about 5-6 cups of decaf tea / coffee at the moment. Should I cut back. Find it hard at work plus it's a substitute for eating loads. I suppose I should replace with water. I don't drink any other drinks apart from water, no coke, juice, etc.

God I'm panicking aren't I?

[Fabuluce]

I was advised to limit even decaf coffee to 2-3cups a day unfortunately but I was so thirsty all the time from the drugs that quite frankly any liquid would do! I took the opportunity to embrace fennel tea which is surprisingly lovely and refreshing.

What happens when we get to the end of the thread??

[buzzybee123]

twinks 2 fags won't make any difference so don't worry about it, neither will the decaf coffee etc, cut yourself some slack

[chocoloco1]

euro didn't realise it was tomorrow - will be thinking of you( if that's not weird)

karbea hope it all goes well tomorrow too

[wishwash]

Karbea they left it up to me to decide whether I felt ok enough to go back to my normal dose after having it lowered yeah.
I decided to go back to 150 but now I'm having twinges and my stomach looks like I'm 8 months pregnant already! Im shitting it now, what if I made the wrong decision?

Twinkle a couple cigarette won't make that much difference so don't beat yourself up. Just try not to have anymore, they're addictive little fuckers

[EuroShaggleton]

If you want to think of me having a dildocamming, choc, go right ahead!

I'm expecting it to be pretty uneventful - it'll only be day 5. Last time they did the first scan on day 6 and there was nothing to see. They even predicted I would probably ov from the right ovary and it turned out to be the left, so I expect it to be a complete waste of time. Still, it'll get me over the hump of entering the Room of Doom (where I was told my pregnancy wasn't developing normally) for the first time since those bad scans.

fab er, someone starts a new one? Hopefully. :)

juicy how was th'husband's contribution today? How was EC for the donor?

[Karbea]

Euro yes it will I can then start panicking about how many fertilised!

Thanks choco.

Wish how much water are you drinking? Are you drinking milk too? Very high protein diet?

[wishwash]

Karb when I get into something I get obsessive so I've even drinking 2-3 litres of water a day and try to get a pint of milk in there too!
I usually eat a lot if red meat but this week I've been pretty crap with it cause I've been too busy too cook. I've also been so bloated I haven't been hungry. Yesterday I had a bowl of weetabix in the morning then another before bed and nothing else.

Why do you ask? Are you worried about my symptoms? Panicking now

[twinklestar2]

Fab - thx. I think I'll cut back and replace with more water.

Cheers buzzy, I'm just panicking cause I want it to work so badly.

Thx wish, promise not to have anymore.

[Karbea]

No just making sure you're looking after yourself :) don't panic, a little bloating discomfort is totally normal. I've not worn jeans for over a week!

[wishwash]

I made the mistake of wearing jeans to the cinema tonight. I immediately regretted that decision!

Thank you Karb you've put my mid at rest

[JuicySteak]

Morning, lovelies, just a quick post to update you on Day One: 9 eggs were retrieved, seven were mature and fertilized and six have become 'good-looking' embryos. Oh, and apparently we are "a lovely couple", according to the clinic

[JuicySteak]

Good luck today, *Karbea.

Really squeezing tight, Tortie

[tametortie]

Juicy, how fabulous!!! DH must have performed well on the day then

Your donor did well, 6 embryos is fab.

Well done

[RachelW74]

Hello!!! Can I join you?!?! Is this a thread for grown ups?!?! I've just been "told off" for using F^&*% - not the actual word, just typed exactly like that - got PM'd as well!!! Really, I haven't got enough to worry about right now!!!!!!!! Anyway, rant over, hello everyone, I like this thread because there's no godamn fairy dust and sparkles on it!!

This is my first IVF cycle, 2 embryos implanted on Sat the 8th, now on 6DPT and going insane!!!

[RachelW74]

Sorry, I meant to add, it wasn't on Mumsnet it was on a different website, a sparkly pinklywinkly one where everything is ootsie wootsie cute and lovely and no bugger ever gets mad we just each over!!!! Yep, still ranting..............

[tametortie]

Rachel- told off on mumsnet??!! For swearing??? How damn odd. Sorry, but in what context???

Welcome anyway and congrats on having 2 on board- hope your stay is short and sweet

What is your history?? X

[RachelW74]

Hi tametortie, no, sorry, not on Mumset, on another website, I tried to edit my post but couldn't. Thanks for the welcome and congrats.

Endo diagnosed in 2007 when I had laparotomy and had cyst that was contorted and had LH ovary and tube removed. On and off slow diagnosis since then kept just TTC naturally thinking it'd happen. Since about 2009 been doing investigations, told in 2011 scarring too bad to find ovary for IVF, it would never happen, 18th of May we're signing the consent forms to start egg donation process, do a scan, ovary is there, do we want to start IVF, here's tons of drugs and here I am today! I was drinking my own body weight in wine up until that point so I'm about as far removed from eating pineapple and researching clowns as anyone could be!!

1 8-cell and 1 7-cell transferred. Not really got any symptoms apart from being really clumsy and REALLY MAD since yesterday :D about nothing in particular so hope it's not PMS.

How about you? X

[tametortie]

Currently in land limbo after bfp from 3rd cycle. I have Endo, immune issues and crap eggs. Dh has shit sperm. What a team!

Off for a scan this morning to see if pregnancy is viable after lots of bleeding, low hcg etc. Its been....emotional.

wishing you lots of luck xxxxx

[Karbea]

Morning gang!

Safely back home in bed, 10 eggs harvested, fertilisation later today, fingers crossed they fancy dhs boys!

Juicy, 6 sounds great, what day are you on now then? Day one?

Haha rachel, feel free to swear away!
