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

Brilliant news Rasp. Go RaspEmbies!! GrinGrinGrin

evilgiraffe · 12/09/2013 16:17

Excellent news, rasp! Hope the raspemberryos grow well over the next few days :)

RaspberrySnowCone · 12/09/2013 17:05

MATV doesn't seem to give a shit that transfer might be tomorrow, he's just told me he'll need to be off work so won't be able to come if it is. I'm so fucked off.

RaspberrySnowCone · 12/09/2013 17:07

Need to be in work that should have said.

evilgiraffe · 12/09/2013 17:11

He's being a dick. Work will give him the time as medical, and he should be there to support you (assuming you want him there). Is he just working on the assumption that it won't be tomorrow? HOTB is very laid-back and take-it-as-it-comes, whereas I worry about all possibilities. Is he just sticking his head in the sand? I dunno about him, but when I'm already stressed any deviation from a plan (even an estimated one) really upsets me. It all still boils down to him being a dick, though.

RaspberrySnowCone · 12/09/2013 17:44

He is being an argumentative dick. We've had words, he said he'll speak to his boss and if he has to miss work so be it, like its my fault. He's in one of those moods though I can tell. I swear men get PMT.

FFS Rasp - poor you. You need support & encouragement at the moment. Not a bloody argument. Hope he pulls himself together.

RaspberrySnowCone · 12/09/2013 18:49

Words have been had and he's said he'll be with me. Could've done without that little episode though. I am very good at crying on demand. I am also ridiculously bloated and farty too.

Oh Rasp, sorry MATV has been behaving like an arse.

Have you seen - next week's Webchat is with the domestic goddess herself - Mary Berry Shock

cherrycoconut · 12/09/2013 23:06

Rasp so glad the fluid hasn't hung around to interrupt ET. Woohoo. And that MATV is being manipulated into doing the right thing by you. Not so good but sounds like a work in progress.

Shit news here. Sis was too ill to go in for chemo assessment today and is instead being nursed at home. Feel so useless, and sad while I 've been swanning around in the sunshine having an otherwise very lovely day at work. Sad

Oh cherry I'm so sorry, will they try to start next week or do they just have to play it by ear?

Bugs, we had a brief discussion yesterday about whether we want one or two put back. They've said they would prefer it to be one because a twin pregnancy, for me in particular, would be high risk. I'm not sure why though. They also said the increase in chance of success with two as opposed to one is negliable. So long and short of it is I don't really know. I wish it was a decision they would take out of my hands though because I'm terrified of making the wrong one!

Good luck today rasp may the force of besh power be with you, we are all rooting for you.

FrankelInFoal · 13/09/2013 07:18

Cherry I'm so sorry about your sister. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to say, but don't feel guilty for going about your daily life. I'm sure your sister would tell you off if she knew you were.

Rasp I can't offer any advice on the number of embryos. If they say the increase in the chance of success is minimal perhaps go with one top quality embie. Do you have an underlying health issue that might affect a twin pregnancy? They drummed home how "risky" a twin pregnancy is to me during my treatment, but I have no issues so I think it may be a standard piece of advice.

RaspberrySnowCone · 13/09/2013 07:20

Thanks guys. I have a lung condition which wouldn't be aggravated by if but two babies means more pressure on my lungs than one baby, it will squish them more so I guess that's what they might be worried about

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 13/09/2013 07:23

Is ET today, rasp? Fingers crossed the raspemberryos are still growing nicely enough to put it off until Sunday. I feel for you about having to choose! I'm lucky in that the NHS won't let us have two put back, so it's all relatively simple.

Oh, coco, I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you, but you have my sympathies (as does your sister) :(

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 13/09/2013 07:35

So sorry cherry. Handhold cos there is nothing useful I can do.

Good luck for today rasp. And GRR about MATV. Crying on demand can be useful.

Back for more later. Now a quick and mad dash accross town.

RaspberrySnowCone · 13/09/2013 07:45

Evil I'm NHS too which is why I was surprised when the question came up! Perhaps the Dr didn't realise we were NHS then? I'm hoping ET will be Sunday but ill ring at 930 this morning to find out.

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 13/09/2013 08:45

Curious! My PCT are ONE EMBRYO ONLY under any and all circumstances, but maybe yours is more flexible? Bit odd if they're recommending you only put one back anyway though.

RaspberrySnowCone · 13/09/2013 09:25

Might not have anything to put back yet! 6 minutes til I ring. What can I do to distract myself for 6 minutes?!

OP posts:
MyNameIsWinkly · 13/09/2013 09:30

Three minutes done! Play "Saturday Night" and do the moves for the last three minutes.

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/09/2013 09:33

Loving the thought of rasp doing Saturday night next to the phone

RaspberrySnowCone · 13/09/2013 09:35

All 8 are doing brilliantly! All set for Sunday :)
