Eggcellent Egg Buddies - a thread for those IVFing in June/July/August

[EuroShaggleton]

You don't have to be crazy to be on this thread but it helps

(Ladies, I thought I would jump in and start a non-sweary titled fred. Feel free to turn the air blue now!)

tortie and noks I am keen for a catch up in Londinium depending on whether I am functional or not of course

Buzzy- still feeling sick?? Tis a grim feeling. I too have had a morning of throwing up but mine was due to too much of me ma's codeine oops!

DH is going to liaise between clinic and TDL tomorrow so will come back with some dates....

Will do some personals later....watching diamonds are forever and trying to keep my pissholes in the snow open....

I've just had some bright red blood

Oh buzz , can you get to the EPU today ?

not on a Sunday night, I will go tomorrow morning

Buzzy- hold tight, it may not be bad news.

do you have any pain or cramps?

Hand hold here xxxxxxxx

feels like cramps, boobs don't hurt, don't feel sick, its not looking good

Don't panic chick. There are a million things it could be. Is the bleeding heavy or was it just spots of red?

Im not familiar with London but I have seen ladies say that st.thomas has a brilliant epu that is always open and you dont need an appointment. Is that near you?

Xxx

not really I'll go my own tomorrow, loss of symptoms isn't a good sign though

Symptoms go on and off all the time. Equally, some days your symptoms can be really strong- that isnt a sure sign.

Put your feet up and drink loads of water- dehydration can make you spot.

I really think if it gets heavier or painful you should try and see someone tonight. Even if it means going to a&e- you have been through too much to get here xxx

lack of sore boobs though, last time I ha that I miscarried, on a Sunday night too, I've been drinking plenty of water and its a bit more than just spotting

tortie my clinic is just around the corner from TDL (in fact that is where they send me for blood tests) so let me know what day and if I am in the area I'd love to have a coffee while Mr Tortie does his stuff!

Sorry to hear the cramps have ramped up, but on the positive side you are a bit closer to being able to move on. I hope that is the right thing to say - being able to move on as important to me when I was going through it all. I just needed the misery to be over.

buzz/noks bizarrely I feel ok today. Hopefully it was just a 24 hr thing. Or maybe shooting things cures all ills....

noks that sounds like a lovely day. Is the exhibition good?

Oh buzz not bleeding. That's crap. You really don't need more worry! I know you know that symptoms come and go, and lots of women bleed, but it must be so worrying.

Im totally with you with the anxiety. Its so hard.

Stay calm though. You know it may still all be ok. This is a totally different pregnancy xxxx

will you go to epau first thing in the morning?

Is TDL the place with lots of armchairs in the waiting room?

There are loads of you in laaaandaaaaaan!! A cuppa and faces to names would be fab.

I feel quite calm really no tears, it is what I was expecting, not sure if I would bother with FET, feel a bit annoyed that I've been on the drugs gained so much weight and all for nothing my boobs are smaller too now and don't hurt at all still got cramps

Buzzy, I know these similarities - it being a Sunday and the lack of symptoms - have you convinced of the worst but we are here to remind you that this was a beautiful young egg and therefore not in the same league as your last pregnancies. I hope that isn't tactless of me. I'm trying to help you see a bit rationally. I know you're freaked out but please don't tell yourself this pregnancy is like your others. It isn't. Big, fat squeeze X

Got to say, the cramps have been dreadful today. I keep going very grey in the face when they build up but the level of bleeding isnt really matching the cramps?? Get what I mean?? The pain is awful but the bleeding has tailed off to quite pathetic really.

Im not sure about work tomorrow- im scared of things escalating and these cramps are just awful

Squeeze from me too buzzy. Juicy is right- this pregnancy is different. And you have seen a heartbeat xxx

Tortie, you can do this, sweetheart, you can - but please don't go to work. The strength of these pains won't last but they won't be doable tomorrow. Please take care X

well obviously it has nothing to do with the egg then does it juicy, it could be my husbands sperm or it could be my nk cells

I am not freaked out at all, I knew there was a great risk of the pregnancy nt working as this is my forth time and I have no children, I am accepting of not having a child biologically and that my husband and I have the options of adopting or being a childless couple, there is no point hoping for something that has a very slim chance of being, I really am not expecting to see a heartbeat tomorrow, thats just life.

tortie I would take a few days off, I plan to have the next week or so off, I won't be letting them do an ERPC so will have to brace myself for the horror

Sorry I upset you, buzzy.

I'm in Bucks so can easily get to London. :)

Yep, that's the place tortie. When I was there on Friday, someone had left a trail of blood through the waiting room....

tam i wouldnt go to work take a day or 2 off you need to be at home x

buzz lots of women do have bleeds it may not be bad news,do you have a scan tomorrow?

I saw a heartbeat last time it doesn't make a difference ladies
