If you’re over 30, ttc over 12 months and wearing nipple tassels under your snowsuit then this just might be the thread for you - if you can prove yourself bitter and evil enough. We’ll be the judge of that. Don your snowsuit , cowbell ready - fill in the BESHtionnaire and prepare to meet our icy glare. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Just popping on quickly to cheer on our IVFers! Go follies/embies!

HesterShaw · 30/01/2014 16:52

And how do they grade them? Do they ask them to speak French or something?

Well done bugsembies. Keep on growing! I never got the grades for mine as I made SB do the phone calls and he doesn't know to ask. But that sounds excellent. Fingers crossed for bloating to go down, it's the crazy number of follies doing this :( Hope you feel better soon! I have no strong views on the twin issue for others but it was one of my nightmares for me, I am so happy it's just the one. There are increased risks but you are well aware of them.

Massive good luck for your dildo-camming hest. Fingers crossed there has been good growth and a date can be set :)

Where is fab? I need to poke some kidneys Grin

I've been trying to post on here since about 4pm but have been unable for some strange reason.

Bugs that's great news on the eggy front. Fingers crossed you get some excellent quality embies for ET.

Hest hoping scan shows good growth tomorrow.

And yes, where is Fab?!

Fabuluce · 30/01/2014 23:28

I'm here and I still haven't tested (cue more frantic kidney punches). I woke up this morning with some spotting so couldn't be arsed to waste my one remaining test. I then got a migraine that had to be dealt with by paracetamol, codeine and ibuprofen (it's the only way to get near it) and sleep before racing off up to Yorkshire to see my mother. Bad timing. I popped my femcup thing in and then discovered this eve that I've only had a pathetically small old blood looking (tmi!) bleed so am slightly paranoid that if anything has happened I might have fried the poor little bugger with my overuse of drugs. Didn't bring a test with me and it's against my religion to test any time other than first wee so now I'll have to see what happens and test in sat! Joy.

Fabuluce · 30/01/2014 23:30

Bugs I've had 3 out back in each time with ivf in the hope of OMGIVFTWINZ. Still hoping despite it being crazy arse madness!

Im very excited for all of you growers right now and im desperate for it to be a good month.

Bugs my sweet, stop answering the phone to the mongo - or, if you must answer then do so with "mr mainwaring, why are you calling? You've been told not to contact me until end feb". Strap on your bollocks and remember nobody gets a prize at the office for being nice. Failing that, divert his calls to me and I'll pretend to be your legal rep/millie tant.

For the mogtwinz ditherers, I once read on mn of a lady who had mogtwinz, 'cept she'd only ever had one viable emby - so viable indeed that it continued its divisions once back inside.

Snort at asking embies to speak French, I love the picture that gives me

Well done Bugs, the email sounds perfect.

Good luck to everyone, I'll be checking in for regular updates [grin2

eurochick · 31/01/2014 10:21

I'm sorry he's hassling you bugs. He just doesn't get it, does he?

How are you doing hest?

fab interesting, interesting...

I'm just mooching round the hotel for a bit before heading back. I don't want to leave. It has been so lovely to see the sun for a few days. I had a stroll along the Med shoreline outside the hotel this morning. I'm hoping security don't confiscate my bum bullets - I'll need to take one on the plane.

That email sounds spot on bugs. I'm sorry he's still hassling you about your return to work date. I also thought you'd said someone else was being nominated as your support person, but twas quite a while back so I probably misread. Yay for your bloating reducing, and double yay for your bum bullets starting - oh the glamour! Do you get another call from the embryologist or are they leaving them in peace until day 5 now?

Any news on when EC will be yet hest?

On the twins thing, I've heard that blastos are famous for splitting further once put back, but can happen with any emby I suppose, hence triplets still being relatively common with IVF even though most people can only have a max of two embies put back.

fab arf@against your religion to not use FMU. You've only taken one dose, by the sounds of it, there's no way that will have fried your emby. I think frequent and repeated use thins the womble lining or something, but one dose will be fine, honestly.

I used to love Come Dine With Me, there was always someone on there who reminded me of someone I know! The very best green thai curry I have ever tasted was made following a recipe that appeared on there, too.

Went out for a meal to celebrate our anniversary last night. MrG said 'oh, you look really pretty' in a half-surprised, half-shocked tone. Grrr. I had a small glass of red wine, then felt guilty, then panicked in case this means I'm not as convinced of this cycle's failure as I thought. Trigger is testing out nicely. Lots of sharp stabby pains in my ovaries today. Had massive period cramps yesterday and the day before, must be delayed reaction to ET. Also, lost a further 1lb, so just 2lb above my pre-stims weight again now.
