life great news about your friend's mum.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/07/2013 08:01

Oh Fish what a massive relief. And what a brave lady! That is such good news. A day off testing will be a good thing Wink. I'm tired too. I normally don't need lots of sleep and I never nap. That's all changed though Grin. Have fun at the park. It's going to be a scorcher!!

Brooker how are you doing this morning? So you have some nice weekend plans in the way of spoiling?!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/07/2013 08:02

Oh Choco bloody amazing news!! Well done you!! Ou must be over the moon Thanks

chocolocodowninacapulco · 19/07/2013 08:11

maybe I hear you on the testing front, I spent so much last time. Are you still feeling unusually sick, for you?

Lifeasafish · 19/07/2013 08:26

Oh no, I'm sorry I missed that from wish. I hope you are taking care of yourself wish if you are lurking, and getting the support you need. Do come back here if you need too.

choco that is brilliant news about your eggs. 75% fertilisation at!

maybe I do need lots of sleep, but not during the day. i don't normally nap. DH was worried when he called and realised I'd been asleep.

Testing - I think I've spent about 30 quid so far. Maybe a break today will be good.

Anyway. I'm about to get up and dressed. Have a good day all!

tametortie · 19/07/2013 08:50

Yay!! Excellent news choco xxx

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 19/07/2013 09:27

Brooker wow that is unbelievable. Its good I suppose that it's a technical problem. It sounds like the clinic have been very honest with you and are going to do their best to sort it out for you. It's so shitty that you have had to go through this whole process. I hope the next 6 weeks fly by for you. You sound like you are handling it really well. Thinking of you lots.

Choco that's great fertilisation, you go girl!

Mejust I'm pretty new to the thread (even though I was on the first one) so I don't think I can really comment. And as this is my first cycle I'm pretty clueless about it all. I'm sorry to hear you feel the thread isn't supportive. I feel that people have been supportive to me whenever I've had any concerns. I'm sorry you haven't felt that. I truly wish that everyone's cycle would work, we all deserve it. We have all had a difficult ttc journey to get to this point. I really hope that next time is your BFP.

Thanks for everyone who replied over my gonal F meltdown! Sorry I can't name check. I'm having problems with the thread on my app, it won't let me read back. It's only this thread, the other one I'm on is working fine. Anyone else having problems?

I'm a bit of a stress head as you might have noticed! I don't think it helps that I've been waiting to start this cycle forever. I was seen in December with the view to start in the new year, that then got pushed to march. Then I had to call each month until they could fit me in. So basically I've had 7 months to stress about it before it even started Blush

Hi

I am new to posting on the internet but really would love some support for my upcoming (3rd) IVF - and hopefully I can support you too! I am not really very internet savvy so I would welcome any tips on using the site. Is it just a matter of selecting a topic and then you keep posting back and forth to each other in the same thread? I would like to find something where we can chat back and forth throughout our cycle - hope I am in the right place!

twinklestar2 · 19/07/2013 10:07

Mejust - sorry you feel like that but I wish you the best of luck for your next cycle and for the future. Looking forward to bumping into you on the antenatal threads in the not too distant future.

Choco that's a fab result!

Welcome Shellster! yes, that's more or less how this thread works. However, it fills up at 1000 posts so then one of us make a new one. I think you've found the right place. When do you start your 3rd IVF? Fingers crossed for you!

twinklestar2 · 19/07/2013 10:30

Great news Choco and welcome shell! Just jump in and someone will answer! Be warned though, this thread moves very fast :) (my iPhone autocorrected that to daft - it can be daft here too sometimes!!)

Newly pregnant ladies, if you're finding the antenatal threads not to your liking, why not create a new one that we can all join too when we get our BFPs :)

I found this thread to be hugely supportive when I burnt a pan of baked beans back in 1987. Since then it's been shit.

JuicyFatSteak · 19/07/2013 11:24

Choco! You beauty! Well done, love x

Fish, your news about the lady who had a mastectomy warmed me cockles. What wonderful news.

Welcome, Shell, are you also on the Over-40s thread? I'm sure I recognise your face.

NookNook · 19/07/2013 12:43

Hmm. Another dramatic evening/morning on the thread.

Welcome Shell!

For what it's worth I think everyone on this thread is lovely.

I also think everyone on the worriers thread is also lovely. I would love to continue on this thread but I will be taking some on my stress over to them!

I really appreciated the advice I got from the people here when I was going through ivf and I want to be able to do that for others.

tametortie · 19/07/2013 13:30

shell welcome. Smile

tametortie · 19/07/2013 13:36

The results of the DNA test are in. DH is on the phone to his gp to get the result.

Im scared =(

Fabuluce · 19/07/2013 13:43

I know you're not sure which result is best lovely Tame so I shall just face your hand a little squeeze and say that whatever the result is you will work out the best solution as you are a strong woman and a strong couple. Cuddles.

Fabuluce · 19/07/2013 13:44

For face read give!! Pesky bloody autocorrect!!!

NookNook · 19/07/2013 13:46

Hand hold Tame. Xx

tametortie · 19/07/2013 13:49

I hope the gp give him the result. Will be a long weekend if they won't....

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 19/07/2013 13:49

Joins the hand holding for Tame xx

Welcome Shellster Smile

JuicyFatSteak · 19/07/2013 13:53

Darling Tortie, Knowledge Is Power. We're here for you x

NookNook, I didn't mean to imply that the lovely IVF Worriers are dull, I just meant the fact that there's a dearth of newly-diffed means that most of the chat is about more advanced pregnancy. Sorry if I came across otherwise.

tametortie · 19/07/2013 14:00

Nobody will answer the phone so he has emailed them.

This could be the biggest anti climax of the thread yet. Hmm

chocolocodowninacapulco · 19/07/2013 14:39

cupcakes it's normal to be stressed about all this IVF stuff, did you get in touch with the clinic to ask about the gonal F? We are all here to answer your questions if we can.

shell welcome. When do you start? How are you feeling about it all? I'm on my 3rd time lucky.

chocolocodowninacapulco · 19/07/2013 14:40

Fingers crossed tame x
