Keep I really hope this will be the last time I see AF too! I hope you are an instadiffer as then you can be in that lovely unexplained group who get pregnant naturally after IVF Smile

I have no intention of ever using protection again if we do have a baby unless I have twins, triplets or quads We started ttc relatively young as we wanted 3 or 4 kids Shock
I don't know if I really want that many now, 1 or 2 would be lovely.

Well no AF yet but lots of cramps/aches hopefully she will hold off a few more hours so we can make it to the christening.

what news cups?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 05/05/2014 09:39

No news Keep, AF cramps have disappeared. My cycle is normally 28-32 days. I'm on day 32 today. I'm hoping she shows up soon. I'm desperate to get started!

cups I hope this doesn't end up being another mega cycle for you. I have vereything crossed that it works for you this time.

scarlett sorry to see your news, big hugs and best wishes for your wedding.

We have postponed our next IVF until August as if we had had it at the end of June, it would have ruined our summer (we pretty much have to take holiday in July) Even if it did work we would be expecting it to go wrong and wouldn't want to go anywhere or do anything that might cause it to go wrong. So we decided it was much better for our stress levels to postpone it .
I had hoped it would also remove the need for me to DR for 4 weeks but i think the nurse calculated it wrong, when I worked it out teh week she has booked me in for EC will require 4 weeks DR again. Hopefully they will move things around when I call them in June.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 05/05/2014 20:39

Hey Beedle, how are you doing?
That sounds like a good idea to put it off until after your holidays. Fingers crossed you don't have to down reg for all that time.

AF arrived at lunch time just as I was resigning myself to a long wait. So I'll call the clinic tomorrow, hopefully I can go in on Wednesday/Thursday for scan and bloods. I need lots of brooking that everything will be fine and we will finally get started!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 06/05/2014 08:30

cups So pleased AF arrived (well obviously an ironic BFP would have been better but I'm being realistic!) I do hope everything is ok with your scan, will you then start with the injections straight away? (bit clueless about SP)

I'm kind of OK, I would have been 12 weeks this week Sad but at least I haven't had any stress about my body returning to normal, AF turned up exactly on time after the mc.

keepitgoing · 06/05/2014 19:37

ooh cups AF is here so you should start stabbing ?tomorrow!! how exciting. sp moves quickly until the tww

hi beedle Sad at 12 weeks could have been. that's annoying you might have to dr for a long time again. grr

I hope you don't mind me lurking here. I am brooking that you two as well as geek and Scarlett (even if they aren't here etc) get your babies asap xx

PS my little one is 6 months this week Shock Grin and you were a big part of my journey to get her.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 07/05/2014 08:15

any news cups ?

lovely to see you keep and happy half birthday to kip :o

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 07/05/2014 08:45

OMG I can't believe Kip is 6 months old Shock happy half birthday Kip Thanks

Keep please keep hanging around. It's nice to know you are still rooting for us.

No news yet, I've had my bloods but scan is not until 12. I've come into Manchester to do some shopping while I wait. There is no point in heading home or to work as traffic is mental at this time and I would only have to head back after an hour. I'm feeling terrified about my lining, the nurse has said it needs to be below 8mm. It's normally 9mm or above Sad

I'll keep you posted.

brooking for a perfect lining cups

ScrambledSmegs · 07/05/2014 09:09

Brooking v hard for a good lining, cups. My fingers and toes are crossed into knots for you.

I'm off to IKEA. Eek!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 07/05/2014 15:55

Thanks Smile the brooking has worked. Bloods are fine and my lining was 4mm! I had 15 follicles as well. So everything is looking good. I start stimms tomorrow night.

Grin Grin Grin Grin and 15 follies is perfect I reckon!

brook brook brook!!!

ScrambledSmegs · 07/05/2014 17:41

Yay! Brilliant results, and 15 follies! Woo-hoo!

Ooh, cramp Grin

farfallarocks · 08/05/2014 15:58

cup 15 follies is fantastic, brooking hard!

beedle that sounds like a great idea, a nice summer off is just what the doctor ordered

imps good luck with your tests, are you having first tests done on you both or am I very behind?

Have just been for a wax, CD10 today and I am hoping for a weekend of rat smacking. Fingers crossed! I have engineered the weekend so we don't have too much going on so we can take full advantage of Baby Far's nap times.

We are going to Ibiza in 6 weeks time though (Can't wait!) so I am hoping for an ironic pre holiday diffment.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/05/2014 07:19

Thanks everyone Smile

First injection of menopur done last night, it bloody stung. I'm dreading starting cetrotide as apparently that one is a stingy little fucker Shock

Far good luck with the rat smacking. Ibiza sounds lovely. Has baby Far been abroad before?

OP posts:
keepitgoing · 09/05/2014 09:58

yep that fucker stings! Smile

grow follies grow!!!

smack that rat far...

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/05/2014 11:46

Thanks Keep Hmm that's not what I want to hear! Oh well I don't start it until Sunday so I'll worry about it then.

keepitgoing · 09/05/2014 17:33

keepitgoing · 11/05/2014 12:16

you doing ok cups?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 11/05/2014 19:33

I'm ok thanks Keep, I've done my 1st cetrotide. It really is a stingy bastard, my skin has gone all red and blotchy where I've done the injection. I'm back to the clinic on tues for bloods. My first scan is Thursday.

I'm a lot more tired than usual but no other side effects so far so it's all good Smile

OP posts:
keepitgoing · 11/05/2014 21:16

good. hope mrcups is looking after you Smile

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/05/2014 10:31

Just popping by to say I'm brooking for you lovely Cups x

farfallarocks · 12/05/2014 15:09

All crossed for your scan cups
Baby far is well travelled, lucky thing has been to Italy, Spain, Oman and Antigua! Mostly to visit friends and family but we forced ourselves to travel early to take the fear out of it! Never done anything like Ibiza though.

Rat been smacked on Friday and Saturday which was on a high and then a peak on my smiley digital thingy. Am hoping that is enough, we ran out of steam by Sunday!
Mr far had run a 10k on Saturday and was feeling a little knackered but I was brooking no argument and he knew resistance was futile!
