Excellent egg buddies - for all who are IVFing in July/August/Sept

[twinklestar2]

Over here ladies!

Massive congrats to NookNook!! Great start to the new thread.

Keeping my fx for you choco

twink how are you feeling? How many days in are you now?

I swing from hope to despair in equal measures!

choc just a quick run-in as I'm just leaving for an event.
today and tonight will be hard. Have a good cry then try to find something anything that can occupy you both.

I'm routing for your eggs. Our bodies and biology is all different so maybe, hopefully they just need a little longer to divide. There is still hope, remember they are in an artificial environment if they can make it until tm then they will still have a fighting chance once transferred.

What shit news for you, but there is still hope so cling onto that.

Also, brooker how are you feeling? I'll be back later tonight for updates.

choco huge squeeze from me x. Nothing to do but wait -how extrutiating for you both. Just to keep occupied and let's hope they catch up overnight. The clinic don't sound like they're writing them off. Sorry can't offer anything useful .

fish hi hun! I'm good thanks-got a lovely day planned -hairdressers then a picnic concert (with bands & fireworks-wooo!) tonight with my Bessie & her family How are you today?

tame it was scorching this week, about 40 degrees or more. We're on our way to the coast to DP's hometown, although seems a bit cloudy. so think we're in for a cooler weekend, which means a better night's sleep!

Hi fabby my almost twin but not really! How's it all going with you?

choco you poor things, I echo brooker's advice. You need something to keep your mind of things as it's all out of your control and nothing you can do. Hand holding if you need it, and unmumsnetty hugs.

brooker have fun today! sounds like a lovely plan.

Have fun at the coast nobeer

fish I love rrading your advice- you are very wise and put things so well xxx

Reading even....

Choco I had late fertilisation on my second IVF. I have no words of wiwisdom but they did put two back in so they were still viable. We also had a terrible couple of days when we didn't know what was happening. It's awful but this doesn't mean the end of the IVF. Who knows how many natural pregnancies have late developing embryos. Keep the faith lovely. Xxxxxx

Choco that must have been such a shock. I am keeping everything crossed for you. Hoping they just need a little bit more time.

Brooker have a lovely time at the coast.

Has anyone else got any exciting plans? I'm working today but have got tomorrow off.

I started stimms last night. I've had some weird sensations in my right leg since last night. Kind of like a trapped nerve. I had acupuncture yesterday so am thinking its probably from that. Has anyone else had anything like that?

Choco, my heart reaches out for you. I will be checking in to see what is happening.

I am very novice at this whole online chat. Can anyone tell me if there is any way I can send someone on this site a private message if there so that we can chat back and forth? I want to try to find someone starting IVF late August when I start my third round to get me through it!

Hi cupcakes, I have done IVF and acupuncture but never had that sensation. Sounds more logical that it is the acupuncture than the IVF

shelster you can PM people (which I've never actually done!) which is like an email I suppose...

However, I think that the point of the forums is that we all give each other advice and support even if our circumstances are not the same - or even very similar! It would be a shame to narrow your online support.

shellster sorry meant to reply earlier. You can PM individuals but not done it myself. Think one or two on here do it. I'm sure a lovely lady will be along soon to assist. I should be startling round 3 early Sept so well up for some hand holding! Are you on SP?

Agree nook it's amazing what you learn by hearing the experience of others. Let's stick together! How's it with you today ? x
cupcakes thanks but it's nobeer going to he coast. I'm dolling me 'sen up in the hairdressers at the mo.
twinks remind me -how many days are you? x

Thanks Nook and Brooker for your help. So you say you can PM people... now just how do I do that????

Hope I didn't offend you NookNook by implying that I want to narrow my support. I used to have an American email penpal but her last IVF was successful so I want to let her enjoy her pregnancy and find other support. So I guess that's just what I was used to. Am happy to support on her in any way I can coz I know how tough it is!

Brooker, yes we sound like we will be going for round three together... lets hope we get pregnant together too! I am doing Estrogen Priming Protocol for first time after only getting two mature follicles in last two rounds.

Some shocking stuff on here. Choco, I don't know what to say, I really don't. I'm here to hand-hold, though xx

Tame, I'm sorry you're still in the dark. The thing is, I know for a fact you'll get your baby somehow because you have the spirit and humility x

I, too, am seething about 'supportgate'; I even appeared at Mejust's EC as Mel Gibson and bellowed: "FREEEEEDOOOOOM!" Joking aside, there is nothing we can do, as a forum, to take away the pain of an unsuccessful cycle. Don't let bitterness and disappointment skew your landscape. There is always hope and we are always here to comfort as much as we can.

I also think we should be able to throw ideas and opinions around here if we think it's for the benefit of others. I'll obviously take a back seat but I love you all - I think the support and wisdom on here is fantastic.

Shell, my advice is to stick to public discussion on this forum. Mumsnet's not really cut out for MSN-type messaging and you may find it puts individuals under pressure to become a penpal-type confidante. I do believe there's absolutely nothing you can't get publicly on here as part of the regular discussions.

SLUDGE UPDATE: There is none. Nor has there been any nausea for 36 hours

cupcakes are you stabbing at work tonight then? Not had any leg tingles do can only think it's the acupuncture.

choco I don't know what to say - but it's not over and it sounds like the clinic is saying it could still be ok so I am holding onto that hope for you.
cups I've had acupuncture too - but no tingling.. Weird! Is it getting better or worse?
Welcome shell I'm new here - and struggle that everything moves sooooo fast! But everyone has been completely lovely.
Hello to everyone else - I am always on my phone and so personals are really hard to look back to do. Sorry - hang head in shame at poor memory on hormones.
Had scan and blds this am - awaiting the phone call to tell me whether more stimming or trigger - not got many follies, on high doses of everything, feel emotional tired and fed up today. I just feel it's not going to be our time - which is crazy as I have no reason to think that other than I am just so slow. What's the longest they can stim for? I am also getting very fat and sore round the middle

Oh and juicy - try not to worry honey... I think that's normal isn't it, for it to come and go?
