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.

Oh fish this damned IVF rollercoaster, so sorry you're having to go through this and fingers crossed that things work out. So sorry xxx

So sorry to hear your news Fish and keeping everything crossed for you

Oh fish. Life's a bitch. So hard for you. I've been there too. That wait between scans is agony as euro says. Not fair.

Oh dear I am on a roller coaster. I don't know what to do. The clinic were very pessimistic - prepare for the worst and we will confirm next week although there is a small chance.

3 doctors (2 may have been embryologists as they were blued up. In fact 1 was definitely the guy who did the ET) did the scan. He said sc size was ok but due to dates he would expect to see a fetal pole. The sac is 18mm blighted ovum cannot be confirmed until 25mm or another week. I explicitly asked the nurse if there was any chance of a pregnancy and she said highly unlikely.

Sorry posted before I had finished wittering.

He said to keep taking crinone. I am still a bit crampy but no where near what it was on Monday. No mention of lining deteriorating or anything.

Mr fish has taken it really badly. I'm a bit all over the place. Nauseous and cramping.

I've had such a bad week - I cannot go to work reasons for which would out me.

Outside is a mass of Christmas and families and happy people and I do not know if I can stand it. However I do have presents to wrap, things to post, scandal to watch and job hunting to do

I probably won't be back until tm I feel this has become my personal writing page and that isn't fair!

Oh, write away and we'll read. I'd never heard of blighted ovum before it happened to me. Very cruel.
There must still be hope though or they wouldn't have that 25mm cut off.

Sending positive vibes.

respisa you must have news? I'm hoping it's happy news?

Write away fish. Unfortunately many of us have been there and understand and I am sure everyone else empathises!

And tal are you ok? Try to stay calm as I said before bleeding especially brown sludge isn't always bad news. Please remember that I never bled or sludged with my August miscarriage while others did and had continued pregnancies. How long until your scan? I'm hoping all is well and everything is just nesting in.

Thank you tame/brooker/ beetle for your thoughts, reassurances stories. I hope I've not missed anyone.

Respisa- I m also wondering if you have news? Don't want to be insensitive to fish but don't mind asking now she has!!!

No pressure but I need the good news respisa. Please do not hold back on my behalf - you are not doing me a favour!

life I am so very sorry. I know I can't say anything that'll make it better but I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

I'm waiting for the news too resp (fingers crossed)

Oh and congrats twinks

Don't hold breath waiting for me. I am officially MN's biggest coward. I love my PUPO bubble too much to burst it. Pathetic. 'Twas ever thus; I remember lying in bed until noon on the A Level results day, fielding calls from friends who'd been up since 6. (I finally found out I got 3As - natch! - so in hindsight probably better that I did it alone and so was hated less).

When is OTD res???

Fish so sorry to hear about the scan. It is a horrible situation, which sadly many of us have been in. Thinking of you, enjoy or ignore as much of all the Christmas stuff outside as you want to - it is weird when we are in out little IVF bubbles with all the ups and downs and everything out there just seems to carry on as normal.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Fish - you poor thing. Thinking of you lots and sending a big virtual hug. Xxx

Have been a bit absent but wanted to pop in a send to fish

And Congrats to twink I am so happy for you, you were there at the start of the berries, thrilled we have another one with a BFP!

As for me, approx 17 days till jabbing begins

Ooh buggs a junkie buddy ace! Its my first go, have you done it before?

Hello everybody. I did my first burselin injection today (well, my DP did it for me) and I feel excited to finally be getting going on IVF after so much anxious waiting. All of my colleagues are out on the piss tonight, drinking in the crazy way that only teachers at the end of term seem to do(!) and I felt a little jealous of their boozy revelry. Still, I shall feel smug tomorrow without a hangover! Hope you are all doing okay, ladies, particularly those of you who have had tough times this week. Xxx
