cups am a nightmare. I'll probably do a sneaky test at the weekend while I'm with mr nurse, even though it'll likely be a bfn.

keep am struggling with the pupo attitude, but working on it.

BlindKitty · 07/08/2013 20:46

beedle nope, even if THEY overstim me I still lose a go!!! Hence why I don't want to take any risks! Know what you mean, we've been ttc for I we 2 years too and never thought we'd be here!

cups I start next week eek! I've had my currier delivery of enough needles to take up iv drug abuse should tabs fail! Think I'm going to book some accupuncture tomorrow. So excited for your otd now!!!

nearlyanurse · 07/08/2013 23:10

What's the score re: accupuncture??? want some pronto

BlindKitty · 08/08/2013 06:01

Well there's 'some' evidence that it can help with fertility, especially ivf and probably iui. I was really skeptical at first but after my one session so far I did feel extremely relaxed so will start again with it I think

ThedementedPenguin · 08/08/2013 09:18

I take a day off the thread to help my sister and I miss lots so will try and catch up.

keep I'm glad you got the clomid sorted out, hopefully now you won't lose a go. Although that's a bit unfair if you overstim due to, too much clomid you lose a go.

Beedle any sign of AF?

cups how are you feeling?

Is acupuncture sore? Oh I can't imagine doing it.

keepitgoing · 08/08/2013 09:21

Ooh I meant to say to kitty that maybe was right, I did have my first iui cancelled because of clomid. But not because of overstimming but because it made my lining v thin, a recognised side effect. The following month I took a different drug which didn't affect the lining.

keepitgoing · 08/08/2013 09:22

Make sure your acupuncturist knows about fertility. I went to one who seemed good but wouldn't do anything in the tww, which is when its meant to impact.

BlindKitty · 09/08/2013 06:20

keep one called me back last night but she'd never even heard of iui so I decided against her. So many seem to be men in my area but I'd much prefer a woman!

cups how you doing bud? X

keepitgoing · 09/08/2013 07:51

Good call kitty, if you're gonna pay it might as well be someone who knows something!

One day closer, cups and nurse.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/08/2013 08:20

Morning Brookers

Yep one day closer, it still feels like an age away. I'm swinging between complete desperation that its not worked to silly pregnant fantasies. It's mainly desperation though to be honest.

I'm 7dp3dt, I've still not decided when to test. DH and I can not find a single day together to do it.

Anyone know how long it takes for the trigger shot to be completely gone. I'm 12 days past it now.

Kitty good luck with the search for an acupuncturist. Mine did know about fertility which is why I picked her over the only other one in my area! But she is really quiet and I have to do all the talking which is a bit annoying. Are you getting excited?

Nurse how are you doing?

Morning lovely brookers, sorry for the incommunicado, have been up north with work and had no reception!

Cups I too swung from one to the other. It's the worst 2ww ever. You know you've had an embie put back, which I think makes it more of a head fuck. They say trigger takes 10 days, then it should be gone. I tested on my own. I think I just felt I could get my head around it first, then tell MrM. If that makes sense?

Kitty, you have to be comfortable with whoever will be doing it. MrM and I went for a few months last year. It's relaxing definitely. But we didn't see any effects. But sometimes it's worth it simply to relax.

It doesn't really hurt Pen. Some of the sensitive bits are uncomfy, and it also turned out I was a bit allergic to the needles Grin

How is everyone doing?

keepitgoing · 09/08/2013 09:39

I agree, 10 days for trigger to go cups.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/08/2013 09:48

Cups, I believe the trigger should be gone by now, but remember what happened to Geek, hers did linger a bit :( :(

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/08/2013 10:02

I also miss lovely Geek

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/08/2013 10:13

Maybe we need to leave out some half finished spread sheets, she wouldn't be able to resist Grin

Am ok cups, hope ur doing ok. Am down with mr nurse over the weekend so will probably do a sneaky poas just in case. I briefed him up last night that if I'm not preggers now, from the day I move down we'll be getting jiggy at least every other day, whether he likes it or not. His comeback was "you do know that's rape, right?" don't bloody care

Am interested in the sound of acupuncture. I've had it in the past for injuries, and liked the results. Will try to find someone once I'm settled aswell as finding a hairdresser and beautician.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/08/2013 11:06

Good for you Nurse, it's good to lay down the ground rules Grin

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/08/2013 12:02

here Geek look, you can have as many as you want if you stay Grin

Nurse I like your style, you tell him!!! Grin

cups lovely I had no idea you were so far through your ivf. I'm so sorry I've not been here to hold your hand through it. Time moves a lot faster outside the fred, I swear it does. If you haven't been testing out your trigger with frers, then I would say don't test before 15 dptrigger. Frer are far and away the most sensitive. I tested pos on 11, 12 and 13 dptrigger and the nurse said it's not unheard of for the trigger to hang around that long, but that it could also be a failed implantation. Without testing out with frer, there ws no way of knowing. Oh it's so hard, this waiting malarky, lovely, but you will get your bfp! You are pupo with two, which gives you double the chance. (((Hugs))) have to go, am in the pub with mrg and he is giving me death stares for being on my mobile for so long xxx

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/08/2013 14:17

Geek it's so lovely to see you. We miss you so much. Have a pint for me. Hope you're having a lovely day x

keepitgoing · 09/08/2013 15:10

geek!! So good to see you. Hope all is well and looking forward to meeting you!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/08/2013 15:39

I'm never never not ever letting you go Grin
