Eggcellent Egg Buddies - a thread for those IVFing in November, December and January

[eurochick]

New thread. Welcome back to all the regulars. Welcome to all the newbies - please come and join us if you are IVFing or thinking about. The regulars are a mine of information at this point!

Do you realise that this will take us through a year of egg buddy threads? I believe Karbea started the last one around Xmas time last year for those cycling in 2013 and I immediately jumped on it as I was about to start my first cycle in January. Blimey.

Thx bugger. I have seen your posts here and there and you sound so much like me, just wretched and want it to happen so badly. I really hope you get your BFP soon xx

Congratulations twinkle - fantastic news, especially all you've been through. What a great Christmas present!

Hi also to resipsa brooker beetle nobeer and anyone else I knew on this thread.

Looking forward to new blood on the IVF pregnant thread, so come along choco and fish and twinkle. Beetle is right when she says that the thread is a bit dominated by (very lovely and supportive) IVF mothers with new babies, but there is only one way to address that! All these BFPs are great!

Hello motor! I'm doing my best to get on over there asap! Hopefully will see you there in New Year. At the mo I'm waiting for immunology tests. The Dr Beer book finally arrived today! Thanks to everyone who recommended it, I've only just started it but I felt myself nodding along to sections already.

Congrats twinks that is such lovely news xxxx

Well what an amazing, lovely, fantastic piece of news twinks! I am so over the moon for you & Mr T xx

Thank you s

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and support.

Motor - not feeling confident enough to join yet but I do lurk on those boards. The girls there were really lovely to me when my fresh cycle failed so I know they are a nice bunch.

Morning ladies. I had a very disturbed night last night (6-7dpEC) with cramping, so I think the embie was trying to implant. It doesn't mean much though. As I've had an mc and 2 chem pregs on our previous round, there has always been implantation/an attempt at implantation before. It's getting it to stick that is the problem.

How is everyone feeling today

twinks many congratulations I am over the moon for you and am pleased for your wonderful news!

It seems wrong to do this straight after and for that I apologise.

Today I had my 6 week scan and they found an empty sac. The sac is where it should be for 6 weeks so its not a case of it being too early. Im still numb. Shock I guess it will hit me later.

I had already decided to take a year out (I need to get another job) but will hopefully message later or over the week.

Fish.x

On fish I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. It's my fear too, it's so scary. I don't know why things like this happen to us when we've fought so hard x

Oh fish. I'm so sorry. This is so unfair.

I'm so so sorry fish IVF really is hard and incredibly unfair at times.

I'm having a down day too - more brown/red spotting. Next scan on Monday. Sickness and nausea completely gone, but I did take one tablet of Avomine (on GP advice) last night so I'm trying to cling to hope that the vanishing symptoms are linked to that rather than a failing pregnancy.

Fish I just don't know what to say. I'm so so so sorry.

Oh fish I am so sorry. This ivf journey is so difficult & heart breaking at times. Please look after yourselves. Send a huge hug xx

Fish I'm so terribly sorry for you and your DH. Beetle's right, I think cruel is the word. Actually bollocks is the word which came to my mind. Take care lovely lady and give yourself time to recover from this nasty shock. Hugs.

Fish- I am so sorry. Unfortunately, I know the pain you are feeling and it's indescribable. Sending you lots of love, be kind and gentle with yourself xxx I know this sounds like a bonkers question at the point but are they going to rescan you? Xxx

Thanks all. I feel surprisingly optimistic at the moment - it's all I have to give. Plus dr google says it's either way

Scan is next thur on poor mrfish's birthday. I've been told to stick with the crinone. I was am 6w4d.

Though I did get a positive 6 days after ET so implantation must have been on time.

Sorry for proper acknowledgement I just wanted to respond to tame and update on how I'm feeling. Watching a film. Escapism.

I think sometimes holding on to positivity can be a god send and let's face it, feelings swing from one hour to the next. Enjoy feeling optimistic. Xx you just never know. Until the rescan, I've learnt to reserve judgement.

Been where you are twice before so know the heartache you are feeling.

Realistically, you would like to see fetal pole/ toddler etc and 6w4d BUT it's not over till a second scan confirms no progression.

It's a horrible place to be and I am going to throw a platitude into the mix...

Expect the worst, hope for the best.

Just want to say, I'm sorry I only seem to pop in infrequently but I am keeping up to date, I promise!! X

I found the week between my two scan absolutely tortuous. Can you keep busy?
