tame I'm glad some of the shyte I spout occasionally comes in useful to someone.
I ended up eating loads of rice when I went wheat free. Low carbing is not for me, so I needed something carby to replace the wheaty stuff.
I envisaged ending up as a shrivelled old crone given the amount I bled from my mc. But a few sachets of spa tone later, I was right as rain.
joos hurrah for a darker line!
wish remember you are on a drug comedown. You've had your oestrogen levels artificially raised by the drugs.
fish I hope it all goes well.
life I had the stomach ishoos too this time. I took double trigger (single last time) and I had to dash a few times and everything was noticably looser.
Mr euro couldn't come in for EC (frankly there wouldn't have been space - it is a tiny theatre and pretty full with a gynae, anaethetist and two nurses - plus they treat it like surgery, so no spectators. Also, that is when they send him off to do his bit in a side room. He came in with me for ET both times though.
I did see an IVF documentary though where the men were in the room, so I guess it depends on the clinic.
Good luck for tomorrow!
motor my internal jukebox always plays apt songs. I often don't notice until I think about what I've been humming for the past hour!
noks that's great news about the low DS risk.
I hate aerobics classes of any kind. At the gym I stick to the cardio machines and elbowing the men out of the free weights section whilst turning my ipod up to drown out the grunting (message for the lads: sounding like you are having a particularly tricky poo is not impressing anyone).
Welcome back cupcakes. I'm glad you are finally cycling.
drizz you have to do what is right for you. You're not DRing for long, but I have no regrets at all about quitting LP. I just didn't want a baby if I had to get it that way. All I felt after stopping was relief and I was 100% convinced that I had made the right decision. There are other ways of doing IVF - SP, mild, natural - that do not involve throwing your body into menopause. I just wish I had known in advance how awful I would find it because I lost a lot of time waiting for my NHS round, starting it, and then getting to the point where I was ready to try something else, and I'm a bit older than you without the time to lose. As you know, I suffered on the pill too (and through puberty, come to think about it). We're obviously just more susciptible than the average woman to having out 'ormones messed with.
There was a woman called Scarlett on the first egg buddies fred who had had the same effects as us downregging. I'd never found anyone who had suffered on the drugs to the extent I had, so there are a few of us who really struggle, albeit a minority.
twink that pharmacist sounds like an utter nob. I'd actually complain about that. Oh, I've just seen that res has said the same.
We had IVF. We were offered ICSI for the first round as his sample was borderline, but declined. This time it was fine so there was no mention of ICSI. My clinic's view is that they don't know how the best sperm are selected by the body. All they can do for ICSI is select the best looking sperm. So they don't do it unless there is a need for it. Other clinics seem to go all ICSI, so like most of this process, a lot seems to come down to the individual clinic's practices.
