Expecto Patronum

If you are you over 30 and have been ttc for over 12 months, are witch like or even better a complete hag and willing to abuse your powers of wizardry to conjure up gin by the bucket load, then fill out the Beshionnaire and join us if you dare in our battle against BESH curse.

Instadiffers and baby dusters will be turned into frogs and used in a potion.

Anything to do with medical matters is always late. Hold out until eleven, then ring them. It won't affect the goings-on in the petri dishes (just your peace of mind!), so try not to worry :)

I'm also housebound waiting for a phone call - place your bets now as to whether I:
(a) have to start stimming tonight at planned dose
(b) have to start stimming tonight at lower than planned dose
(c) have to keep on downregging for a bit longer before they let me start stimming

RaspberrySnowCone · 11/09/2013 09:39

I cracked and rang them. It's good news - they injected 11 and 8 have fertilized. Apparently they 'did really well over night', the embryologist was lovely. They may want to bring ET forward to Friday so I have to ring on Friday morning at 9.30 to check but I need to question that tomorrow as obviously I have this fluid build up which the embryologist wouldn't have known about. They wont get them out again now until Friday morning.

fingers crossed for your phone call Evil. What time did they say they would ring?

evilgiraffe · 11/09/2013 09:42

Hurrah! Eight is pretty good :)

They said they'd call "tomorrow", so I'm just hanging around near the phone all day! The blood results should be ready this morning, so if I'm lucky they'll ring before 11am. I'm not going to start getting anxious until 3pm though :)

RaspberrySnowCone · 11/09/2013 09:47

I'm going to have a shower, tidy the house and eat some cake. Relief has taken hold, although for some reason as the embryologist was talking I started crying and have just sobbed like a maniac for the last 15 minutes! Crazy. I know there is still a very long way to go but... it's a good start anyway.

x-posts, maybe set 3 pm as a deadline, if they haven't called ring them and see what they say?

I think the IE issue might be fixed...

rasp that's a great fertilisation rate - 75% is what they aim for. I'm not surprised you are crying - this is all incredibly stressful, you are pumped full of hormones and had surgery yesterday! Be kind to yourself. x

evilgiraffe · 11/09/2013 10:50

Yeah, rasp, that's my plan.

Is IE ever a choice?! Firefox, Chrome, and Opera are all preferable, I reckon.

FrankelInFoal · 11/09/2013 10:54

Well done Rasp, that's great news.

Hope you get the call soon Euro, nothing worse than the waiting.

CatsCantFlyFast · 11/09/2013 12:44

Congrats to Rasps eggs
Sending hurrying up telepathic waves for Euro's clinic to call soon

IE is the only choice I get at work rasp. We can't upload any software of our choice.

eurochick · 11/09/2013 14:28

No calls expected for me. We're taking some time off from all the AC shyte.

FrankelInFoal · 11/09/2013 15:23

Sorry that's my fault! Reading too fast and posting with fat fingers Blush

Hope you get the call soon Draf

evilgiraffe · 11/09/2013 15:55

Hurrah, clininc finally called. Come and collect your prizes, those of you who went for option (b) start stimming tonight at lower than originally planned dose. Next appt Wednesday next week.

Great news Draf and hurrah for lower dosage!

evilgiraffe · 11/09/2013 16:35

Is it hurrah, Frank? I have no idea about these things. I've spent all day feeling very wobbly and vulnerable so have been hiding inside watching non-threatening girly films and Pride and Prejudice.

RaspberrySnowCone · 11/09/2013 16:46

Brilliant news Evil, the next step underway.

I just slept on the sofa for two hrs. Feel all shaky and can't wake up properly but so much better for it after two nights of crap sleep.
