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.

nobeer he stopped drinking after I expressed my feelings laid on the guilt trip We have agreed to enjoy a drink together at the weekend. Hi nomaybe couldn't agree more about the dog! How are you doing? Your will power is unbelievably commendable darling!

That will be a well earned drink Brooker

I'm doing ok. Feeling decidedly negative about this cycle. DH is convinced it has worked though

Gosh this thread is busy tonight!

nook welcome to the "I feel 10 times more anxious after getting the one thing I wanted than before" club! I take it they didn't do a quantitative hcg test then, just an "are you pregnant or not?" test? Same as my clinic. Fantastic news!!

juicy yes, those are the figures that I have seen. Who is the pearl-clutcher by the way? And how are you? I feel so much better after my good hcg count, though at 4,126 I don't think it comes close to what yours was at this stage! X

Maybe, that article referred to women under 35 with expected good response.

Tame, are you both at an impasse regarding his copious amount of drinking t'other day? I'm sorry you're feeling poo but it's always a smack in the gob when an otherwise strong relationship has a wobble. It's the exact opposite of how you usually are as a couple and it feels like you're in the wrong skin somehow. Keep talking, you'll get there. Your DD sounds ace...how is she getting on at school with that little twat?

Motor, I couldn't possibly name the pearl-clutcher (Mickstery) but are you coming over to the Dark Side, pliz? Yes, my beta levels were sky-high but I'd love to know why considering other twins carriers had much lower levels than me. I'm not being ungrateful (and I'm beginning to see the risks - physical, mental, financial, emotional - of bringing up twins) but it's a little mystery I thought you may be able to shed light on, Motor?

Can't. Stop. Sweating.

Someone. Please. Make. It. Stop.

Too sweaty to type more I'm afraid...

juicy I think it is simply that there is a big variance is hcg levels from pregnancy to pregnancy. High levels are associated with girl babies though!! Do you have a preference, or is it too early to allow yourself that luxury? I will consider joining the preggers thread if my scan in a fortnight shows that all is ok. Bit too early yet. For sanity's sake I am planning to have betas done twice weekly until my 10 week scan, if I get that far. I know it is over the top, but having very few pregnancy symptoms means that I don't trust that I am pregnant without regular objective evidence.

I want a boy

Fab, I'm sweating like Gary Glitter at Wacky Warehouse.

Motor, I demand to know how much each one of your beta blood tests is costing, pliz. If you are too embarrassed to say I will come back each day with a wild guess until you crack

Do u have names picked out, juicy?

Yeah, I like Clexane for a boy and Prednisolone for a girl.

@ juicy! That just made me roar with laughter!

Bugger, that means I'll have to go with my 2nd choices of buserelin and gonal f . Thanks juice , I'm going to think about your names when they put me under today as it made me laugh so much. Due to start clexane today, any words of wisdom about how not to end up black and blue?!

£30 juicy. Not cheap, but a small price to pay for my mental health.

Choco Good luck today, it's EC day isn't it? I'm getting all mixed up about who's doing what at the mo. I did put a bag of frozen peas on me a couple of times after particularly painful injections. I still got bruises, but it felt a bit better.

Good luck today choco

motor thats a bargain for a hcg!! I was quoted 80 quid EACH which could really cripple you when you want a few to see if the levels are doubling.

choco good luck today!!

joos how sweet of you to remember my DDs ishoo. DD has been called fat and threatened by an older girl all on this other girls say so. DD has felt more and more that she can't do anything back because she will be labelled a bully again. Not right is it?! Cant wait for the holidays!

Haha! Thanks Motor. I really am 10x more stressed! And I know nothing about pregnancy.

Motor where are you getting your blood tests done?

Good luck Chocco can't wait to hear about your haul.

Loving the names Juice. Very progressive.

Tame your poor DD. not long now and she'll be off!

My resolve may have cracked today. I've tested. Twice. It's only a BFP!

Good luck today chocs - hope it all goes nice and smoothly xx

Whoop whoop maybe!! Fantastic news!!!!

Oh maybe that's brilliant, well done you- excited for you Xx

Thanks Fab and Chocco. Doesn't feel real!

Thanks for the tip nobeer . Yes, egg collection today, about to get gowned and stockinged up! Aaaarggh!

Oh wow maybe thats wonderful! I think thats 5 bfp's this month? We are on a roll!

chocs good luck.

tame have you informed the teachers? This is bullying and surely they've seen it all before?

motor the betas are looking great - I haven't been offered one at all? Mind you the clinic seem to have dropped me since they did their job I've been hunting them down for more drugs.

nooks it is a strange place to be isn't it? For me I think I focused so much on the IVf hat I forgot about possibly getting pregnant.

choco good luck! I've my fingers rossed that it goes well for you.

juicy hows you? I've not dared go to the AN thread. Like motor I'm waiting for a scan or symptoms. I am a bit concerned that this isn't going to last to be honest.

Have a good day all!
