Morning all!
Well we still have 5 going strong so going to blast -Weds transfer. They will confirm the time tomorrow . Eek!
Hope everyone's ok. Let us know when you're PUPO tululah x

Great news brooker. My 2nd dc was a blast transfer!

My lovely beetle! Thank you! I have just been reading how important it is to manage my stress levels, especially now & you have definitely just helped I am so amazingly chuffed for you & your little bugs
I hear it's two boys stalking right back 'atcha . I couldn't be happier for you & Mr BB xxx

Urgh, slow varies still just that. Upped to 225iu and back on Weds! Rabbit I hope it gives you some hope! Day 14 for me, largest folly is 0.9.

So excited for you for Weds Brooker!

Talulah thinking of you today.

Hi dancer - good luck with the mad TWW and the frostie news.

Way to grow brooker!! How excellent is that . Fingers crossed for a fantastic transfer on weds x

So I'm PUPO

Last two embryos defrosted, one lovely and one with some fragmentation. So despite planning for a SET I now have two on board on the clinics advise.

I have had a very little blood and spotting, but I think the doctor caught my cervix, ouch.

Let the menkulling commence...

talulah congrats on being PUPO lovely, ouch about the caught cervix - feeling your pain. So chuffed for you, and breathe ... I'm donor egg btw - feeling impatient now!

brooker great to hear about your fab embryos! you must be well chuffed

val groan at the slow growth. What've they suggested apart from having upped your drugs?

Welcome dancer and congrats on being PUPO. Any news on how many embryos you have to freeze?

nobeer hope your move went well

Waves to everyone else

Great news brooker and tallulah

Val well my scan today was shit, one follie has seemingly vanished and the little ones have only grown 1mm so I'm left with one follie at 9mm it makes me feel so sad that the drugs just don't seem to work for me. Are you on gonal f? And do you have lots at 9mm? If so that sounds as if they should get there for you.

It is pretty poop having to have ivf. Being a poor responder and having your follicle no decrease to one is even more crappy! I grow one nice follicle all by myself

Sorry to hear that rabbit. On the cycle I got my BFP (chemical) I only had 1 follicle at 11mm on day 8 and some others then developed. I had 1 egg collected which fertilised and led to BFP. It really does only take 1 and I guess I always thought that although at times this process is crap, I had no chance without IVF(ICSI)- I feel for you and still hoping that those follies get going and prove everyone wrong. Sorry if that sounds preachy, as that's not at all how I mean it - just trying to help

Thanks choc, it is reassuring to hear other peoples experiences. Not preachy at all.

Does anyone here know if nhs funding can be used for donor egg ivf? I can't find an answer online.

Brook can Wednesday just hurry up and come now? I have everything crossed that it's getting hard to walk. Thinking of you all PUPO ladies!

well done talulah! good luck for weds, brooker! thanks choco*. move went Fine, but every muscle in my body aches! can't find the pillows, they're in a Box somewhere. so cushions will just have to do. work tomorrow will be a breeze compared to this!

helloo everyone else.

Just about to hit the sack but wanted to say well done talulah. You are PUPO lovely!
Hi to everyone else xx
Catch up tomorrow.

A quick one as I'm at work and shouldn't be posting

Mentalling begun already, I'm on knicker watch, not helped by pessaries that (tmi) make me constantly leaky. Yuk. Some minor aches and pains, no doubt caused by the trauma of transfer yesterday.

I'm convinced it won't work although hoping desperately it does.

Hey talu they r rather disgusting aren't they!!

R u getting excited brooker? I've got everything crossed for u that it all goes well tomo, let us know how u get on. How many r u having transferred? X

How r u getting on dancer? Hope all's well

Rabbit I have one at 9mm. On 225iu Gonal f (started at 75iu, 112.5iu and now 225iu). We'll see tomorrow….

Congrats on the move nobeer!

Val well we are one 9mm follie twins! Grow little follies grow!

Brooker good luck for tomorrow.

Tallulah the pessaries sound yukky.

Well I'm feeling the Menopur, my head feels underwater and spacey. No ewcm - I've read that you should have this during ivf. I get loads on a normal cycle. Another thing to stress over?

Hello everyone!

Sorry I disappeared... Again... But after my FET negative things went crazy and I started to doubt everything. I am now a little refreshed and starting to look forward....

I have an appointment with my consultant on 19th nov to see what the hell is going wrong! I recently learnt that a girl I went to school with has been through 2 rounds of fresh ivf (at the same clinic), her embies weren't strong enough for freezing, and she fell pregs on the second try. That has given me a little hope.
although we have 5 embies in the freezer still, I want to go for another fresh cycle but we'll see what the doc says.
I started acupuncture yesterday which I find very strange! and I'm trying to eat healthily.... Of course this isn't going so well but I'll get there!

brooker I'm glad your embies are going strong. Very chuffed for you!

talulah congrats on being PUPO! Yay! I knew you'd get there

Hello everyone else, I'm sorry there aren't any more personals but so much has happened since I went AWOL x

rabbit try not to stress, although I know it's hard. I try to have a 'whatever will be, will be' attitude, although I indulge in a fair amount of stressing too. Just focus on your follie growing strong, remember IOTO!

wishwash good luck with your future plans, 2 weeks time your will have a more concrete idea of what your next steps will be and hopefully time will fly.

brooker best wishes for tomorrow, let us know how you get on and congratulations in advance on being PUPO :)

nobeer I bet you are glad the move is out the way, hopefully work was less stressful than moving house!

val how are things with you today?

at everyone else.

AFM, just waiting and trying not to obsess too much here. DH has booked a sky package install for later in the month, and I swear is more excited about that than test date.

Evening all!
How is everyone tonight? me? I'm stressing ever so slightly
owl thanks for sharing. It definitely helps to hear success stories. Hope you don't mind me asking, was dc1 conceived naturally?
val good luck tomorrow. Hope those slow varies show some signs of responding.
iwant planning on putting 2 back if we have them. My fear tonight is that none will survive How's the menkulling going? Hope you're managing some relaxation x
choco I'm doing my best to wish the days & weeks away for you. When is the scratch-is it this week?
rabbit I'm willing those follies on for you. I can only imagine how pissed you must be feeling Can't help with the nhs deivf funding I'm afraid.
nobeer hope you're able to chill with a after all that hard work. Phew!
talulah those pesky pessaries! Are you using them front or back? I started with them on Friday & definitely prefer up the rear. As for the knicker watching - do not trust anything your body is up to. There are too many mixed signals caused by the pessaries. Remember you are PUPO. Sending massive sticky vibes x
wish it's good to see you Glad you're feeling stronger. Cycling knocks the wind out of your sails for sure. I'm already in need of a break! What's making you want a fresh cycle rather than a FET?
bugs good luck with your appointment on Thursday fx you won't need it though
Hi to everyone else x

Hello again, hope everyone is OK. I've been trying to keep up a bit more.

Tallulah and IWant congrats on being PUPO and I hope you are coping with the almighty stress levels it brings.

Rabbit and Vall I hope your next scans bring more positive news.

Wish I've not been around much so only just read about your ET- so sorry for the result, you must be absolutely gutted. I hope your next appt helps with planning your next stage.

And finally Brooker very best of luck for today, is it morning or afternoon? I hope you don't have to wait too long (especially in full bladder agony!).

AFM: after last week's positive appointment with a new consultant I have decided actually he was some sort of miracle worker because somehow I have managed to get pregnant naturally! I had my usual few days spotting last week but rather than turning into AF it then stopped, so I tested on Monday and couldn't believe my eyes. Given what happened with my IVF BFP in early Sept (late to show and short lived) I waited until after testing again this morning before believing it, but the line has darkened significantly so looks good at this, very early, stage. So I've started on the left over pessaries and will try to get more prescribed today. After what happened last time I am feeling very cautious about it all.....

I was in 2 minds about posting on here as this seems so ridiculously lucky so I hope no-one is offended. I will keep an eye on you all and hope and pray for the best of outcomes.
