...then come and get your flipping baby here. We are a group of utterly priceless loons who are deadly serious about buying our babies at the highest price (or free if you're a lucky NHS bastard). There are no failures here

Ah now I've looked far enough back.

Wish and Euro get down with the PUPO vibe you lovely ladies!!!

chocolocodowninacapulco · 25/06/2013 19:42

Oh juicy juicy joos, so fucking happy for you. Didn't want to get your hopes up with the tired thing, but it was all sounding great.

chocolocodowninacapulco · 25/06/2013 19:43

Congrats on being PUPO euro and wish Grin

JuicySausage · 25/06/2013 20:10

Thanks for all the good wishes ladies. I have had acu and now feel nice and calm. And fucking relieved that that's all over for a couple of months!

I'm an atheist but my lovely muslim friend and colleague said she would pray for me. I don't care what form of god it is, I'll take all the goodwill I can get.

motor that's very true, and a little voice inside my head says it is the success rates that had them pushing me to put both back. Oh well, the zammo name is clearly accurate - I just can't say no at the moment!

joos is it sinking it yet?

nobeer · 25/06/2013 20:24

Just found out what PUPO means so all the best to Zammo and Wish!

Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 20:43

wish and euro PUPO! Thats ace. And I love Juciy's words e the grading.

chocolocodowninacapulco · 25/06/2013 20:55

life any news on your levels today? Don't think I missed a post?!

JuicySausage · 25/06/2013 20:57

Zammo, I am afraid I'm doubting my line in terms of the fact I had the Pregnyl seven days ago. My rational brain tells me the barely-there line from Friday was obviously that injection on its way out so it could hardly be darker today, four days later. But..you know how paranoid we all are...

Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 20:58

For fuck's sake. I really fuckin hate touch screen. I was editing the above.

wish and euro PUPO! That's ace! And I love and echo juicy re the grading. I'm crossed like a pretzel for you both.

juicy absolutely love you testimony on the previous page page and me an DH are cheering for you!!! Absolutely, positively wonderful news! I am over the moon and jupiter for you! Now fuck off to the pregnancy threads Smile (just kidding, please don't yet - I need you!) how did mrjuicy take it?

mejust the nurses warned me that after egg collection the follicles fill with fluid which means that it gets more painful afterwards. This was another 'you'll be in even more pain soon ' statement Hmm well done on the embryo's you've done so. So well.

motor tame thanks for the advice re talking to doctors etc. We have always seen a senior nurse and today we both grilled them. I was in danger of having the lot cancelled as my bloods were 24k yesterday...

I got a call at 5pm (as I was calling the clinic), they dropped to 8500 odd! So my trigger is at 9.15 and collection on thursday. We are so chuffed, mrfish was really bad with worry/disappointment I was distracted but will explain this soon.

My FsH has fallen off a cliff to 1.2 so i've had 37.5 gonal this evening and I guess I'll only produce a few eggs and quality shall be negligible. But IOTO and this has been a good trial if nothing else. My next cycle will obviously be totally different as My body is just... Different. i'm aiming for a write- up in the lancet Smile

Hello to everyone else hope you are doing well and sorry for the limited personals. .

JuicySausage · 25/06/2013 20:58

Th'usband cried when I told him I was preggo.

twinklestar2 · 25/06/2013 21:02

Aw that sweet, Juicy.

Question: do you get the trigger shot with your original prescription or do you get it when you go back to hospital for a scan?

JuicySausage · 25/06/2013 21:04

Crossed posts there, fish. What a lovely post of congratulations, thanks sweetheart. You do make me laugh! Brill news about the 8500 score. Can you tell me how they know what your egg quality will be simply from the FSH (I hear so many women getting pregnant from abysmal FSH scores)?
You never know what's round the corner with this crazy IVF, do you? Yesterday we were preparing for you having to freeze your embryos and tonight you're triggering! I love the unpredictability and weirdness of all this science but I would not have liked to have suffered like you have. Brave, cool lady x

Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 21:19

The convo this morning - we (nurse and us) were discussing abandoning without collecting at all Shock

It was an option at their meeting. Basically they gave themselves a deadline of tomorrow's bloods to get me sorted or they were scrapping it as my body has been so unpredictable and unstable it just ins't safe.

I'm still not out of the woods as there is no prediction or guesstimate of what I might do. But this hurdle has been passed.

Nurse said My fertility does not match my age whatsoever, and it s a shame my tubes were blocked as I would have got preggo easily if it wasn't for that. Seems I must have been born with blocked tubes as I've always been good with contraception, but mrfish and I were using condoms for about 3 years.

And we all know how strict people are with condom use...

tametortie · 25/06/2013 21:20

Hi everyone.....

Sorry for a major lack of personals....

Just wanted to say a mahooooooosive congrats!!!!!! to Joos!!!! Way to go!!!! How utterly amazing- I am absolutely over the fecking moon for you and th'usband. Grin congratulations. You have cheered us all on for so long, its your turn now. I am a bit sad because I dont want you to leave us Sad you wont will you???

Congrats to Euro and Wish for becoming PUPO today- legs crossed xxx

Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 21:22

Trigger time Shock

Then telly. I've spent the whole day with a distressed friend as her mum had her double mastectomy operation today. She called completely hysterical 20 mins after I left DH after my appointment.

We had a lovely day, i only left her at 6.30 to cross London to come home, as her mum had finally returned to the ward.

Some things have to be put into perspective.

JuicySausage · 25/06/2013 21:29

Absolutely, fish, poor woman. There's a lot of heartache out there in the world but all we seem to know is our own special brand of infertility pain. Lovely that your friend has you to lean on x

I'm sorry but I am now singing 'Trigger Time' in tune to MC Hammer's 'Hammer Time' Grin

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Tortie. How have you been today and what has the bleeding been like? What did you have for gluten-free tea? x

OP posts:
Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 21:31

All done Smile 35 days if jabs I've had.

Juicy, I haven't suffered as much as some of you had. It has been very, very hard BUT... I appear to have a huge number of follicles, I have more cycles, I have options.

Many of you here have had greater trials, fewer options and more heartbreak. And its why I am so, so fucking happy for you and mrjuicy.

Shit - I've got misty eyed. That trigger stuff works quickly doesn't it!

Off to watch the telly. i haven't seen the screen for 2 days.

Lifeasafish · 25/06/2013 21:33

X-post I was going to post a link to hammer time and label it trigger time!

Great minds, juicy, great minds.

Woohoo!! You're duffed up! Have you told Brno yet? They'll call a national holiday.

eurozammo · 25/06/2013 21:35

twink for my NHS round they gave me all the drugs before the cycle. Current clinic only ever gives me the drugs I need to get to the next visit.

fish, the medical mystery. :) How awful for your friend. For me, only the grief of bereavement and the pain of infertility top watching a relative deal with cancer in my shit list.

twinklestar2 · 25/06/2013 21:42

Thx euro. Will ask them tomorrow about the other drugs.

tametortie · 25/06/2013 21:42

Oh fuck it....

I've bought the laptop to bed with me cos I want to 'see' you all Smile

motorwill you get more news on your embies tomorrow? And a better idea of ET??? I've got everything crossed- the 'embryo' calls are my nightmare.

nooknook how are you? are you feeling more positive today?

twinks I got my trigger with my original prescription and kept it in the salad drawer in the fridge.

choco hello lovely- still on countdown?!

expat how are you flower??

mejust I feel sore for a week or two after EC- it is just the ovaries are bruised and swollen and they fill with fluid a bit. Try not to worry. Did you get an update on how many have fertilised?? Have I missed it??

respisa fab nobeer lemon hello!!! xxxxhope you are all ok xxx

I've skimmed through the past couple of pages so sorry if I have missed owt.

I've been sat on the loo for most of the evening Hmm I kid you not. Bleeding was fine all day and thought 'woo hoo!!its stopping!' then it came back with a vengeance. Its better now though- hope thats the worst of it over Smile Really glad it waited till I got home from work.

Gluten free went REAAALLY well today. Until I ate some galaxy chocolate and checked the wrapper after! euro I have been repeating a mantra about stabalisers to myself!! this is HARD.

Hope everyone is ok anyway. I'm missing you all like mad now I'm back at work Sad

tametortie · 25/06/2013 21:49

Todays gluten free menu has been....

Gluten free porridge with chia seeds, honey and sliced banana.

Brown rice and quorn chilli for lunch and a satsuma.

Thai green curry with prawns and brown rice.

Just realised ive had 2 portions of brown rice today Hmm

Need to get more ideas!!!

fish sorry about your friends mum. Hope she is ok after the surgery xxx you are a very good friend to support your friend whilst dealing with your own worries
