The Elderberry Pavlovas skipping down the yellow brick road of positivity, thread 13 - lucky for some?!?

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Ooh boy, I can't keep up! Must try harder.

happy, I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. A friend of mine went through something similar very recently - it's tough. Hope she's well supported through it.

I'm on my phone & at work so can't do the list thingy properly, but here's my bit for adding later.

Rum - 32, TTC 3 years, soon to start 1st IVF, BFP due 21/8

2 days to go now & not feeling terribly positive that this is our lucky month. Pissed on a fiver on Saturday morning, which was unsurprisingly negative. But that did allow me to go to three different hot yoga classes and out clubbing (clubbing! Like some hot young thing) on the weekend with a bestie. And to cheekily have a guilt-free nip of rum in the process.

Hope everyone's well. And curious about pip's piplets!

sid that sounds promising!

kitty I'm sure your eggs are cooking nicely.

Happy shag week to those in the midst of it. Enjoy.

Just popping in quickly to advertise a new thread for those on the helicopter as I don't want to post in here and upset anyone but the other grads thread is baby talk....

It's here

I'm still lurking and hoping you can all join us next cycle .

ooooh sid you never know.

Oh happy how exciting for you! Does it feel like ages away? We got engaged in the Nov, started planning in the Jan and got married in the Sept so didn't have that long to wait.

Boo to the BFN but yay to the rum rum! Will add your stats to the list.

Haycorn-

Evening Ladies. to those feeling glum. Monday nights make things so much more miserable don't you think? unless of course you're one of the school teachers on yet another holiday!!!

Sorry about your SIL happy. How awful .

Got my AMH results and am trying not to freak out: 16.1, which the letter shows as within the "low fertility" range of 3.08-21.97. Other sites online show 16.1 as within the "normal" range so I'm not at all sure what to think and can't stop crying. Does anyone know anything, good or bad? DH now looking at me with pity. We were sat here watching the last ep of Southcliffe which was depressing enough without this bullshit to add to things.

Progesterone tested at 52 in March, and FSU at 6/LH at 4 in Feb (day 3/day 21 tests), both of which were told to me were normal, so how is it that they could be normal while having a "low fertility" AMH value?

bigtime

Should also add that in Feb when I had a vaginal ultrasound, the sonographer found two follicles of 1.5 & 1.7cm ready to blow, and said she rarely saw that (usually one is 'dominant' even though multiple ones develop) and started chatting away about fraternal twins. WTAF? Or was that just a normal thing with someone who's 38, their bodies start tossing eggs out willy nilly in hopes a pg occurs bc things are about to start shutting down?

Oooooh sid sweetie sending you but I don't have any advice I'm afraid x

Watching first ep of Southcliffe myself, very confusing.

sid I don't know much about amh but I do know that you should wait to see what the fc says. Firstly when I got my day 21 results I called the gp and the receptionist said they were fine (the fc said it was actually too low). Secondly, we convinced the gp to tell us our sa results who said they were bad (the fc said they were fine). Anyway, moral of the story is to wait and see what the fc says!

Oh and we stopped southcliffe after about 30mins! I'm DEFO not in the right place to watch that lol!!!!

Appt isn't til 2 Sept. I know I've read something recently about the AMH range that FCs say "works best" with either IVF or with Clomid, but I can't remember enough details to find the article again.

also, quit Southcliffe while you're ahead. Endlessly depressing and I find Shirley Henderson one of the most grating actresses on the planet so really I had no business being in the same room as DH was watching it. the fact they're going through IVF at one point doesn't help.

Hi Ladies, sorry to go AWOL on you.

Here is the latest. I have had OHSS which is ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome. The drugs I have been taking to make me ovulate have caused too many follicles on my ovaries and that can make you proper poorly, that coupled with the egg collection has made me feel like shit. I feel like it the first day of AF every day.

But, today we had the egg transfer. We got to keep a picture of the egg! Putting it back in wasn't painful at all and we could see the whole thing going on on an ultrasound screen.
So now it's the TWW!

Ok ok I have given up on Southcliffe, see you ladies are able to advise on so much more than TTC

Switched to Supernatural instead to have a good old perve I appreciate the story lines you see!

OMG pip keeping everything crossed for you x

That's really exciting Pip! Fingers and everything else crossed.

Yay Pip! Hope you're feeling better soon too. X

Exciting pip! Fingers tightly crossed!

Congrats on being PUPO Pipbin!

Sid sorry you're feeling crappy. They do say AMH is a very unreliable test and if you're FSH and LH levels are good - and they're blimmin excellent - then it shouldn't be a problem, Please try not to worry too much - your ovaries are obviously responding fine which is a good sign. I've also heard lots of stories of people with AMH under 5 getting diffed no probs. Definitely not over for you yet hun!

Bunny I'm fine ta, waiting for the next step at the FC - congrats on getting called for your dildo cam stripes!

Oh yeh, pip is pupo!!!! Whoop whoop!

I may be stooopid but what is pupo?!?

Hooray! Pip is PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)!
