Oh and the clinic said they routinely see them up to about 6cm.
I was slightly alarmed the left ovary was entirely covered by a black shadow and she went and got two further opinions!

wishwash · 05/10/2013 12:12

I'm going to start it Brooker and my vote is for back passage! Much less mess Wink
I did my Bruserelin injections sat down, pinched a bit of skin, stuck the needle in then let go. They stung a little but better when closer to the belly button (that may just be a weird thing for me)

wishwash · 05/10/2013 12:13

atill that is mammoth cyst. I hope
It doesn't get bigger and buggers off for you Flowers

IWantOneNow · 05/10/2013 12:36

brook I sit on the bed and pinch the flesh (and I put an ice cube on the bit I'm gonna stab for a bit first too). I might try it standing up to see if that makes any difference Hmm.

BrookerC · 05/10/2013 15:45

wish I am so inclined to agree. It's rear all the way for me! Grin
Iwant let me know how you get on. I'm going to try nearer the belly button tonight. x

nobeer · 05/10/2013 19:18

still glad your GP is on the ball.

nobeer · 05/10/2013 19:19

brook and iwant good luck with your slfs tonight!

nobeer · 05/10/2013 19:23

brook thanks for asking. I'm glad I'm going to be speaking to an expert, I'm hoping she'll just tell me I'm worrying over nothing Grin. I'm going to ring on Mon am to make a phone appointment.

Llw2 · 05/10/2013 19:59

Brook and Iwant I found sitting on the loo (helped my tummy form a roll) then pinch in the middle by the tummy button either side, see if it helps x

BrookerC · 05/10/2013 20:36

Well my jab went well tonight girls. Stabbed closer to my belly button while standing & only stung for a minute or two. Phew! Thanks for all the tips esp the glamorous loo position llw Wink
nobeer glad you're feeling happier. It's always good to eliminate any doubts. Having a plan definitely helps too. x

starsandmoonandback · 05/10/2013 21:39

I'm definitely up for the rear too Wink

Bum bullets are way easier up the pooper! I'm three weeks in to the seven week process and counting down the days until my ass is mine again!

Morning Lugs. Yes i am being treated at nottingham's QMC and that's where I had my scratch done. They r doing a trial but I didn't put myself forward for the trial as u have no idea whether u r going to be done properly or whether u r going to be the placebo. I wanted to make sure I had it done (anything to help my cycle!). Who knows whether it will help, but I'll try anything! (Even the bum bullets!) Grin. Hope that helps. Oh and u normally have it done on day 21 of ur cycle x

IWantOneNow · 06/10/2013 10:19

Oh another thing, the staff there are absolutely lovely. When I was having mine done it was really painful but the nurse and doctor with me were great and very understanding, polite, engaging. Just really made the horrible procedure a lot less stressful x

starsandmoonandback · 06/10/2013 11:01

Made me laugh to Llw. GrinGrin It's nice when yer bum is yer own and the other bits following tx!

So anyway, who's turn next for their bfp? Smile

Hi Everyome,
Congratulations llw. Absolutely brilliant news! Thanks. Just goes to show that you just need the one....
wish congrats on being PUPO. I can feel that snowball of BFP getting bigger by the day!
still gutted to hear about your cyst. [hugs]
choco hope that the mock transfer went well
nobeer hello my lovely. great news about the testing. I am definately going to try and get my clinic to put all three embies back next time. They are of not such good quality so the more the merrier I say.
iwant and brooker well done for the SLF just love that I always sat on the bath to get a nice role of fat, put the radio on and sang at the top of my voice while I stabbed. Can highly recommend Robbie Williams and A-HA.
waves and hugs to everyone else.

AFM spotting still there. If it's not gone by Wednesday I will be giving the clinic a call. 4 weeks is a fecking joke.

BTW have some friends coming round for dinner so am doing Baked Fish and Chips and Bread and Butter pudding. Anyone fancy joining us (I would ensure that there was suitable supply of music in the bathroom for the stabbers Wink

wishwash · 06/10/2013 13:38

stars OTD is Monday 14th! I will be testing on Sunday though so I have the full day of crying before going back o work.

wannabe you made me laugh out loud! I pictures you sitting in the bathroom (for some reason it was my bathroom) and singing at the top of your voice Grin

Stillhopingstillhere · 06/10/2013 13:53

Wish! Positive thoughts! I have a good feeling for you if it helps...

My cyst hurts today, maybe it's going? It's not is it, it's going to get bigger and bigger and burst out of my stomach like in alien isn't it?!

Stillhopingstillhere · 06/10/2013 13:54

Wannabe hope your spotting stops soon, it is a long time.
God the things we put up with!

starsandmoonandback · 06/10/2013 14:12

Wish, yes crying with joy Grin.

MaryP, I'll be round ford those fish and chips later nom nom nom I'm not jabbing at present but will come round to sit on edge of bath and listen to appropriate music when I am Wink

still, so sorry about your cyst and that it's really hurting today. Hmm Should you phone gp about the pain of it is worse? Can I ask about how it felt/feels? I ask because I'm a bit worried or probably just being paranoid, but since my last cycle I've had stabbing throbbing pains in my left ovary regularly and also had some pain in my belly button area! I thought it may be a small cyst and it might go when I had my next af but I still getting the pains. It may just be the poor ovaries had a battering last times and were so big they were 'kissing' apparently, but I'm a worrier! Having an HSG on Tuesday but have read it can't pick up on cysts.

Hello to everyone else around today Grin

starsandmoonandback · 06/10/2013 14:13

Wannabe, you haven't got a cyst have you?! I read it can affect bleeding during cycle?? Just a thought....
