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

Over here ladies!

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

Tame this whole bullying thing is horrible. It's a word which gets over used and someone standing up for themselves in the face of adversity is not a bully. I say this as the wife of someone who was horribly bullied at school (including physically which damaged his eyesight - bastards) and who when he stood up for himself was chastised by it from his school. Just not right. his dad spoke to the teacher about it and the teacher said that DH just had to learn to turn the other cheek so his dad slapped the teacher round the cheek and asked how he would like to turn the other cheek now!! I am not an advocate of violence but in this particular instance it seemed a good example!!

Oh my GOD Maybe!!!! Whoohoo! I am totally psyched for you. That's amazing news. I had a sneaky feeling about you... xxx

Wow!!! nmaybe thats amazing news!! Congrats!!! Xxxx

Thanks Nook and Life. Really doesn't feel real x

Thanks Tame. Early days!x

Brilliant maybe !! So glad you caved in - it's the news we've all been waiting to hear! Will you have a blood test at the clinic too? Isn't OTD Saturday?

Good luck choco and it seems that most women feel a bit ropey (probably an understatement) after EC, so make sure you have a couple of days rest. X

nook I just contacted a local fertility clinic. They are fairly newly set up, so don't have an egg share programme, hence why I had to go further afield for treatment. Neither they nor my clinic do quantitative hcg levels as routine - only if they think there is a potential problem. I think that numbers are good at this stage, as often there's very little else to go on.
How are you doing today?

And fish how are you?

Hope you have a strategy for keeping cool today fab!

The thing is, DD doesn't sweat it. She isnt upset, just thinks its stupid and so do her friends. However, because the other girls mum text me and said DD was bullying her daughter, DD is worried about sticking up for herself and being labelled a bully (this is what happened before)

If I thought DD was being emotionally scarred or anything I would push for more to be done but she is honestly ok. Just frustrated that she has been labelled when it isnt her! I trust her as well, she is a good kid. I mean ffs, she is in about 4 different after school clubs- sport, brownies etc- and has loads of friends that choose to spend time with her. Its only this one girl that is an issue. Says it all really! DD is just one of many this girl and her mum have singled out.

FAB that is horrendous

Thanks Motor . OTD is indeed Saturday. Clinic don't do blood tests at all! They gave me a test and then they book me in for a viability scan which should be in about 3 weeks.

Should I be worried that my digi said 1-2 weeks? I am literally just 4 weeks and I also only held it in my pot for 5 seconds not 20 like I was meant to I'm panicking already!

X-posted fish. Why not request a beta hcg if you want reassurance about how your pregnancy (yes, you're pregnant!!) is progressing? Or have you got a date for a scan?

Tame that's awful. But well done to your DD for being so strong.

Fab your poor DH. That's horrendous.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!" You fecking beauty, Maybe! Remind me: was it a blasto or what?

Choco, good luck today and, no....there's is no way of avoiding the bruising. I love it - they're my hard-won battle scars.

LiquoriceAllTorts, I hope your DD's 'mate' gets chlamydia when she's fourteen.

Motor, that is a good price, I thought they cost fifty quid a pop. You will be nicely reassured.

Fish, there is no reason to believe this baby won't stick around. None. That's irrational fear talking, is that, and you need to kick it to the kerb pronto.

There will be all kinds of terrors afflict you in the next week or so and all the newly-preggo will find they need the antenatal thread for a chorus of proper advice. You're not tempting fate by joining; what will be will be, but you may find you need the thread before your scans.

That woman and her daughter sound like bad news Tame, probs best to try and steer clear of her and definitely speak to the powers that be at the school. Even I all they do is note it down, it means the records are there for any future incidents.

My wonderful DH has of course been massively affected by his bullying but I like to think it has made him the man I love so even though it was utterly terrible, he's a better, more thoughtful and caring man than he might have been with an extremely strong sense of right and wrong.

Thanks Juice! Yes, 5 day top grade, starting to hatch blasto. 4 of the same in the freezer.

Fab. That must have been awful for you to hear. But I know what you mean by it has made him how he is

How old is DD Tame?

nomaybe don't worry about the 1-2. Weeks, I only got a 2-3week this morning (16 days post ET). And my box says 5 seconds.

motor i'm ok or was before juicy hit me with a bitch slap . How are you feeling now.

scan is 1st Aug, I ummm.... Didn't think of requesting a beta. I've no symptoms whatsoever bar mild stomach cramping every few hours.

tame I love your DD's view! She sounds ace and very mature. Maybe 10 mins after the end of the last day of term she can give the girl a good thump. .

juicy I'll think about it. How are you anyway?

Yaaay maybe, FAB news! Congratulations!!

Got a call from the clinic this morning, can you believe out of all those eggs they're only freezing one more (think it was grade 5BB). The others progressed but they don't think they'd make it if they froze them and then thawed.

nice one maybe! I'm delighted for you

Thanks for the reassurance Fish!

Twinks all of my eggs made it blasto but they only froze 4. As they said to me, you have some fantastic quality ones, there's no point freezing ones that aren't as good, as they would ever choose to use them x

Thanks Nobeer

Just waiting for my first dildocam of the season - fingers crossed all is well...

Keeping everything crossed Fab!

All good - just waiting for the blood tests now but should start stims tonight - yay!

A bit pissed off with my clinic though as I asked them to triple check that my dates would fit in with my holiday plans (lake district from 2nd - 9th August) as I thought it was right but they said it was fine. I am now, if I'm lucky and it all goes well looking at transfer at day 3 on 2nd August or if we get to blasto (and I don't know if they are open on sundays) then it might be as far back as 5th (also my birthday). Feeling a bit harrumphy a out this as I asked them a lot to make sure it would fit. Luckily I'm a good responder to all the drugs or I might not get a holiday at all!!

What am I supposed to doing the day after ET? Feel bored just sitting at home.

Chilling! Watching DVD box sets, reading books, maybe have a little mince around in the great outdoors... Have a little swim in Lake Twinks and relax

I think I met up with friends. Since I've been off I try the 1 day in, 1 day out approach.

But box sets are always ace! Book and park?

You can do stuff. My rationale was hat if I'd had a trembler outside a club I wouldn't even know I was pupo!
