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!)

Sounds good wish. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Thx tame and euro. Woke up crying today :( The row with my friend made me have to explain myself and how I'm feeling and all my fears. Something I wasn't ready to do. I feel extremely sad and full of grief thinking of a life I might never have.

wishicouldhavealargeMalibu · 22/06/2013 10:19

Thanks for the info everyone, I'll see what he says tomorrow. I think Mr Wish wants to go to day 5 because of the amount we have.

Oh twinkle I feel for you. Its not what you need right now. Huge hugs for you xxx

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 10:24

Twink, it seems hard-hearted and unreasonable when we admit to the outside world that we are resentful of pregnant women (even more so when it's our darling Duchess of Cambridge). Your friend has pointed this out because she doesn't understand the fear of never being a mother. It sounds to me like you need to talk to someone about your fears but not your friends

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:35

Twink- she had no right to make you feel like that. But if she has never known what infertility feels like, she will never understand. Perhaps some distance while you are going through such a difficult time?? You shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone. Xxxx

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 10:37

Zammo, I don't want to make you grumpier but would you take a look at my chart please? Can you see the massive jump this morning? What does it mean? Has my body produced progesterone 'cos I'm preggo??

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:38

My DD is MEGA excited about the royal baby and talks about it constantly.

And she told her teacher the other day in sex education that "mummy makes babies in a lab". Like dr. Frankenstein???

My own DD is on a mission to make me miserable Hmm

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:43

Joos- that chart is impressive. If that temp stays high I think you may have gone triphasic you lucky girl!!

How many days post transfer are you now?

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 10:49

I'm four days past transfer, tortie, and I've taken my temp at exactly the same time each morning since EC. That's a massive hike in temperature for someone who hasn't ovulated, right?

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:50

Its ok, I've worked it out. By next Thursday or Friday you should be able to test very reliably.

Will you have a blood test to confirm? What do they tell you to do?

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:50

That chart looks good. Grin

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 10:51

What's so encouraging about triphasic charts, tortie?

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 10:53

We've already decided I'll test next Thursday. I've also booked in for a blood test on 1st July. OTD is 2nd but no nurses are available.

I'm off to buy some Topics to celebrate....

tametortie · 22/06/2013 10:57

Triphasic shows an extra shift but not sure what it means. Will consult tcoyf.....

tametortie · 22/06/2013 11:00

According to tcoyf, there is an extra shift after implantation.

Don't count your chickens yet but I think if you maintain that higher temp....

Had the heating come on? Did you sleep in your coat?

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 11:11

expat Flowers I'm sorry to hear your news and I hope you are looking after yourself.

twinkle be kind to yourself, you are perfectly in your right to feel this way and it is insentive to think you are being selfish. As others have said - fertility is like the freemasons- no one fully undrstands it unless you are one. How you feel about friend's pregnancy is shitty but its very, very normal and understandable. I think your friend is a bit t of order to be honest, where's the empathy?

tame has your daughter realised that yu did it traditionally with her yet? She'll probaly be disgusted, maybe thats why she's sharing you made babies in a lab, i.e mum did none of that naughty stuff to make me, no siree (US southern drawl). Marylebone high street is lush btw... Lotsof cafes abd boutiques. Its a shame I'm not about that day but I am supporting this conference so have to go. What museum are they going to? British?

juicy the tension.... The excitement! Good to now your temps look good. Dos anyone else do that? I'm not going to other - I've never done it.

nooks I am over the moon and beyond to know that you are doing well! Its a glimmer of hope for us all that it can and does work.

mejust hw are you feeling today?

Afm - I feel the same about the royal baby. I wish them well, but it is so fucking hard. My telly will be off when it is born. I had to force myself to keep watching coronation street ( though I probaby shuldn't mention that as an achievment Blush).

Gave blood this morning waiting for a call. I'm exhausted. That is all.

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 11:13

Thank you tame for the E2 info and everyone for being supportive and sharing your journeys. I was saying to DH this morning that this forum has made it all so much easier for me.

eurozammo · 22/06/2013 11:22

joos that chart does look promising. If it stays up, I think I would be cautiously optimistic.

You don't have to worry about making me grumpier - my clinic has just managed that. After the "ooo, we;ve just realised (a day and a half before EC) that we don't have your new blood test results" debacle, they've just called to say they have the copy we sent through now, but one has been missed off by the GP. ARGH. So we are just about to do an emergency dash to Harley St to get blood taken otherwise we can't go ahead tomorrow. Do you ever feel like something isn't meant to happen because fate is throwing so many obstacles in the way?

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 11:38

euro I thought I missed someone who was 'active'. I'm sorry to hear you are in a bad mood, but it is understandable.

As you now, everything we want in life has to be worked for... You are having obstacles because maybe fate has decided that it shouldn't be too easy for you just now.

Either way, you don't know that this is an omen and they could have realised that the bloods were not all there tomorrow morning or afterrnoon which may have put a stop to it all.

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 12:00

Zammo (I'm so jealous of this name it's ridiculous), remember my GP surgery hairdresser nurse ballsed th'usband's blood test up three times? The third time was Thurdsay 6th and we were flying Sunday 9th. When we actually got to Czech it seemed like all our experiences were negative ones and I just couldn't help thinking this can not work under such hateful and annoying circumstances. We shall see....

My point is: keep your chin up, love Smile

JuicySausage · 22/06/2013 12:01

*Tortie, no, I did nothing different. In fact, last night was cooler than previous ones.

I can't wait for the royal baby

mejust · 22/06/2013 12:45

life I hope your bloods come back ok so you can go ahead with EC,maybe your numbers are down from no stimms yesterday.

euro Im shitting myself from EC aswell iv been out to sleep before and hate the whole thing,fluid,needle and just being out of it and stuff.But there is no other way the eggs have to come out to carry on,iv been having bad dreams about it.

expat i hope you get better soon x

wish your prob tired from all you have been through take it easy and potter,how are your eggs doing?

Well im a happy bunny today just back from hospital and i have 5 mature eggs and 7 nearly there ,nurse rang my E2 is 15000 today so they said take my 150 menopur tonight then trigger at 9.30pm 100000 pregnil or what ever its called ,i am concerned of ohss though as they said my blood would be 20000 for that but if i take menopur tonight it could reach that couldnt it?as my blood was just under 10000 yesterday.
so EC at 9am monday i have to share eggs so may end up with just 6 eggs or so will this be enough for me?

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 13:29

Update - hosp just called.... My e2 is ( wait for it) 32000 Shock. They won't EC until its at 13000 Hmm

My Fsh is dropping though so they are hoping the E2 will follows as that normally happens apparently. Apparently E2 can drop like a stone or gradually decline and they've no idea what mine will do.

I wish they hadn't told me the detail and just asked me to come back tomorrow. I cannot help but think that it is all over for me. (No platitudes please, I'll bitch slap myself if I can muster the enthusiam).

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 13:37

mejust thats wonderful! I am genuinely pleased for you, so EC on monday?

Whats all this nonsense over will 6 eggs be enough? You are making a baby not a frittata.

I don't think you have to worry about the E2 levels - as tame said to me, they know what they are doing. Are you triggering and taking last menopur on the same day? Or one today other tm? Does e2 start falling with the trigger? Could that be why?

And actually maybe they have plotted how fast your E2 moves. Mine has obviously leaped in the past two days and I haven't had any Go-anal since Thur night. So its unstable while yours has been.

fish it'll either work or it won't, there's fuck all you can do (bar eat protein) so there's no point in worrying. Here, have a bitchslap Grin

mejust · 22/06/2013 13:44

life im really sorry your having trouble with your levels but coasting you might work and drop your levels.my nurse said coasting works most the time in getting things under control.
yes i have took buserelin this morning then i usually take menopur at night about 9pm so have to take that then then trigger at 9.30 tonight,i just hope the consultant knows what hes doing as nurse said no menopur then rang back he had said take it.
Im worried about eggs as they have to make it to 5day blast.

Lifeasafish · 22/06/2013 13:56

Can you send an email quickly or call back to double confirm?

Hopefully others will stroll by here soon to reassure you. This is a bit out of date and ive only read first few comments, but seems its normal triggercand stim

Things are never straight forward for me an DH, my suffering was managable for most of this cycle, it had to get hard at somepoint.

I'm about to watch the boxset of Luther to refresh myself before the new season starts and I am babysitting here later tonight so I have enough to occupy my mind.
