Eggcellent egg buddies - a thread for all those IVFing in January, February and March - Volume 2

[resipsa]

Hi all. As promised, a sparkling new thread that is going to see a lot of action in the next few weeks, I hope!

Time - that is fantastic. You definitely 'deserve' it; not to say someone who doesn't struggle does not but you know what I mean, I hope!

Ha, Bad - I'm watching Peter Rabbit! I'd heard 5dp5dt is pretty reliable. Can you be arm twisted to test again? I wouldn't dare as I'd be loving the 'maybe' feeling too much!

Hey Res - I'm on Q Pootle 5! Or I think that's what it's called.

I'm going to test again tomorrow, I think. You are right - am enjoying this feeling too much. I feel so much better that I know it won't be ectopic this time, whatever happens. I am much less swollen today which is great!

Time. Woohoo. You deserve this Bfp honey!! Congratulations xx

Bad, you are strong! Once I'd tested and got a feint line, I'd have to test each day til test day to make sure the line was getting darker!!!! I have everything crossed for you that by tomorrow it'll be a nice dark line This thread is becoming a very bfp'ish one. Up bum, yes baby a go go!

Congratulations Time!

Bad I also think you'd get another darker line, ESP with fmu.

Afm I cannot get my blood sugar down. It's twice what it should be. It hasn't come down since I had the steroids yesterday. It could also be the progesterone but I've only had one so it seems more likely it is the steroid at the moment. Or both. I need to get hold of someone on my diabetes team but I've tried three times last week to no avail and they won't be in now until Monday.
God, this would be a million times easier without the diabetes. Still not easy of course but the too high / too low worry wouldn't be there.
Usually I take 18u of insulin a day. I had 33 yesterday and only ate half a piece of toast all day. Usually I'd be through the floor and incredibly low with that amount of insulin. Psychologically it's really hard to take that much insulin when usually it would cause me to be low.

Pip - how are you today?

One, that's hard on top of everything else. The team should have 24/7 access (at least by phone) shouldn't it? I hope it all evens out.

Hurrah for Time. That's wonderful news and given me such hope.

Bad sounds so exciting. When is OTD?

Reps. Thanks for asking. This weekend is going to be hard I think. I'm bleeding very heavily and I'll be at home with nothing to take my mind off it except the cat and writing reports!

Thank you! Wow - what a morning. I've been up since 4, woke up needing to wee and knew I couldn't avoid testing forever.

I have a headache, backache and mild nausea, but feeling on top of the world! It's a long way from here to a baby, but it's good/amazing/unbelievable/fantastic to finally feel like I've passed the starting gate.

time x x

Dh has buggered off to play golf leaving me with ds. He also has neglected to put last night's plates in the dishwasher or tidy the kitchen - I cooked last night but didn't have anything myself and went to bed. Felt bit drowsy after EC.
I'm really cross. Thank god for you lot else id drown I think.

that's great news Time!

Just popping in to mark my place to keep an eye on you all and wishing for more BFPs!

And there is one time congrats!!!

bad FX that line gets darker!

I'm most cross about the state of the kitchen! Would it have killed him to put the plates in the dishwasher and the salt and pepper away? Really?!

Plus we will hopefully get the call from the embryologist this morning about fertilisation which I will now be taking on my own.
Strange considering he was the one that pushed us into ivf in the first place.

Time this is amazing news, huge huge congratulations!

Bugs hope all goes okay today for the egg transfer

Pip look after yourself this weekend, you need spoiling.

One I'm with Bugs, your DH should be looking after you. Go on strike please. Get on that sofa and refuse to move. He's a big boy I'm sure he can make his own dinner (and yours), you have enough to cope with. I hope it's good news this morning re fertilisation and that you can speak to someone soon re the diabetes. It seems really rubbish that they are so uncontactable.

Bad this is exciting!!!!

Yay time xx

one. After EC you should not be alone, boiling a kettle or doing anything like making dinner. Sorry but he's been an arse and you can tell him I said so.

Congrats Bugs! When's OTD?

Yay Bugs!

One - lie on that sofa and refuse to move! Thanks to everybody for the nice messages. I am too afraid to test agai. in case the line has gone - argghh. X

Congrats bugs! Sounds promising!

Out of my 8 eggs 7 were mature and 5 have fertilised. They aren't sure if it will be a 3 or 5 day transfer but I suspect a 3 day since we have so few.

On another note the bum bullets have upset my stomach! I seem to have the opposite problem to everyone else! Blood sugar is down a little but not brilliant.

Good news is I feel pretty well after EC. If it wasn't for the blood sugar and upset stomach I'd be great! Dh on his was back from golf now, may attack him with golf club. Not impressed.

Bad I think you'll be ok! You are being very very restrained. I'd have to know.

One - that's a good number - not 'few' at all! At Care they like to have 4+ 'good' ones before thinking about going to 5 days and I guess other clinics are the same or similar.
