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.

Thx Choco and everyone for your help and support. I'm in the 1ww now.

twinks sweetheart. Glad you're on your way home. It sounds like you made the right decision. You do not need excessive stress right now (I say that because I think some stress is ok-like what to have for dinner ).
Can I make a suggestion? Spend sometime reminding yourself that whatever happens to the duchess thingymebobs (or anyone else for that matter) it has no bearing on your fertility outcome. You & DH will get through this together despite what every other fucker is doing. Focus on you & you alone.
I know it's really hard & as shit as it comes but stay strong honey. Keep talking to us & get lots of rest.

Thx Brooker. I hear what you're saying, it's just such a stark reminder. Not what I needed on my first day back at work. Just so wish it was me :(

Twinks I am going to get cross with you in a very supportive hand holding manner. We all wish it was us but it's not. There.
The past cannot be changed but you can influence the present & the future. Be positive & strong (in between the bawling - it's healthy to get rid of the negative emotion). Put all your energy into that little bean. Come on girl-you can do this! am willing you on every minute of the day. Remember we are always here for you. Xx

I'll be fine. Just need to wallow when I hear announcements and then I'm ok again. I'll get through this, I've got through 2 years of this and survived. I'll be fine now I'm at home.

Wim - I found ET very uncomfortable. It was hot, I hadn't eaten properly, I was DESPERATE for the loo so I hated ET. I hope yours goes much better.

Wise words from Brooker. This royal baby news is going to be everywhere over the next few days, no matter what part of the world you live in! So let's all focus on the future

wim! I had to shave for my hysteroscopy, and I think I did for EC. I'm not going to bother for FET unless they tell me otherwise! I'm too much of a wuss for waxing.

Hmmm - maybe I should just do the bits that poke out the sides, I wish I didn't have the gorilla gene!!

It wasn't just this baby, it was also a couple who we knew gave birth today too. It's two things I've been dreading for ages happening on the one day.

Anyway I've dealt with it and being at home helps.

Well done twinks chin up old girl x

Thx everyone. Sorry for meltdown. Normal service can resume LOL

wim I shaved no more for ET than for all the previous scans I had had, just a bit of a trim! TBH, I'm not quite sure why they bother with the pretence of hiding your modesty, I think I pretty much flashed everything to all and sundry and I don't really care any more! I didn't find et uncomfortable at all really, mind you I didn't really feel the scratch either. Have you got a time from the clinic yet?

mejuicy where are you?

choc I feel like every dr in London has looked up my chuff of late - and I hadn't given it a second thought till DH kindly took an aghast look the other day... I guess he's fed up with not getting any so feels he can comment! Will just do a little tidy up - I don't mind the scans as I trick myself into it's dark and they're looking at the screen - though I guess this is the case for ec too to a certain extent...
Am due in at 9 am.... It'll be good to have it over with and start on the next bit. I seem to have an allergic reaction to the pregnyl injection - it's all red and itchy, I hope it's doing it's job ok.... Come on eggs - nearly there!!

I think juicy has been banned. I've seen some of her posts deleted on another thread. Hope not cause I like her.

She did go around causing trouble all over the place so it would not be surprising. I wonder why. She was different on this thread.

Twinks I'm glad you're at home. Best place to be.

Ah, winkle - glad you're at home and feeling better. You will feel so much better about going in again now that your manager knows (some of) the truth. I remember being in that teary state at work after my BFN. God, it was awful. People noticed but only one person said anything. I'm normally on an even keel there and think they were a bit frightened! Whichever wise person below said that in the end some things are just more important than work was definitely right. When you go on ML, you'll realise more than ever that work manages quite nicely without you!

I've met Setchell who's delivering the prince/princess. He delayed retirement for this moment of glory. Hope it's his swansong and not a disaster!

The way I think is that I don't want Kate's baby or anyone else's. I only want mine. So I'm not jealous. They don't have what I want at all.

I hope that's not true. Winkle remember Kick? Maybe she and joos are related!

Thx flowers and res for your kind words. Feel about crying in front of boss now!

Flowers - I want MY baby too. I don't think I have dealt with the fact that its taken so long, I'm not sure if I ever will. All I can hope for is that this ivf works and all this pain and despair will be gone with that BFP. But I have said this before and I still feel it: I just don't think it's ever going to happen for me. I understand that a lot of women in my position feel like is and they get their BFF so I need to try and be positive but I just don't feel it.

res - I was thinking about kick the other day. Another one whose probably already had her baby by now.

twinks I hope I haven't hurt your feelings today hun. We all have our vulnerable moments-every last one of us & you've had a double whammy today. The duchess / baby is going to get on everyone's tit's over the next few weeks - but it will be especially hard for any ttc ivf'ers. I for one wish them every happiness & that's it. I won't give it another thought. This business can really eat away at you - I know.Just wanted to say however hard it us we have to banish the 'why isn't it me?'' questions as sadly there may never be an answer. You sound like you're working hard at rationalising it all. Do you have plans if this doesn't work? Our preferred route is adoption which we've already started looking into. x

Ladies - the clinic don't care how hairy your muff is. Fact
But I used it as an excuse to have a tidy up...
juicy gone? NOOOOOOO! I'm not surprised but I am sad. I will miss her enormously.

Not at all brooker, you've been very helpful and supportive today and I really appreciate it. I have no plan b, I'm so desperate to have mine and my OHs baby. He's home now and we've had a long chat and im feeling better. He really is great :)

Expat - thanks :)

I def need juicy's special brand of humor to cheer me up today! Although brookers comment about hairy muffs did make me laugh!

I'm glad you're feeling better Twinks. I was worried about you earlier x

I have no shame anymore
