Over here...

Cross posted: Lovely news moggle! Sorry how many weeks are you (is it 12?). It must be amazing seeing the heartbeat and little shape wriggling about on the screen, after having to go through IVF. And bless your mum!

Hi Bears, we are just 6 wks and 4 days. It just looked like a pulsating grain of rice :-D but it was great to see the little flicker!

Congrats Moggle - magical isn't it? That choo-choo heartbeat...

It's amazing that it's a proper blob at 6 weeks, then at 8 it is an odd blob with limb buds and by 12 weeks it looks like a proper baby!

Bears great news on being PUPO. The numbers are so scary though. As you say, you have one perfect embryo in there!

Aww moggle what a lovely post! I'm so pleased for you. My eyes are a little bit damp!

Bears Congrats on being PUPO! All 12 of my embies survived defrosting and we'll get the test results before ET tomorrow. I must say I'm a bit nervous. Will let you know how I get on and will hopefully be joining you on the PUPO carriage for the 2ww!

Turq no wise words from me, but I do feel for you and know how you're feeling.

Thinking of you tomorrow nobeer!

Just done my first clexane of this cycle ouchy, ouchy, ouchy. Only been 8 weeks or so since the last one but long enough to forget

Fingers crossed for you no beer, let us know how you get on.

Night all. X

Bears glad you had one perfect embryo put back and congrats on being PUPO!! You're not an old bird, don't be a dafty!!

nobeer hope tomorrow goes well. Let us know what happens.

vallina sorry the clexane stung. I was glad to see the back of jabbing. Hated it my stomach is just recovering.

I'm awake in the night again. Can't seem to sleep through. I'm totally bloated again and uncomfortable. Son has crawled into our bed too and he's making me extra hot. Anyone else get night sweats with cyclogest?

Turq. Ive had night sweats in progesterone. I had them the worst on my cycle with DS though!! I'm glad to hear others DS's sleep in their bed too! Ours is pretty much an every night experience!

Nobeer good luck today x

Bears. Congrats on being pupo x

I'm pupo! It was quite painful, they had problems getting the canula in. It seems the hole to my cervix was almost closed
4 out of 12 embryos were normal, doctor said this is a very good result. The other 3 have been frozen. OTD 10 April!

Hope you're ok res if you're lurking. I'm thinking of you.

I'm off home for a well deserved cup of tea and gluten free biscuit. Enjoy your weekends everyone. xx

Whoop whoop! Congrats on yourPUPOedness Nobeer!

Congrats on being pupo nobeer xx

Hello guys- just mooching by!

Nobeer- congrats! You have come so far! How long have you been gluten free? I go to Czech in 2.5 weeks so have probably left it too late now am eating so rubbish- DH says I should just chill but I wish I had made more effort with diet this time.

Turquoise- good luck when you do decide to test x

Does anyone know if juicy has had her baby?

Sorry to see your news res- what a bastard xxx

Nobeer and Bears big congrats on being PUPO. Hope the dreaded 2 week wait flies by

Turq hope your doing ok. This is the hardest part. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Beetle glad to hear all is still going ok.

Res I'm so sorry your cycle got cancelled. It's know how disappointing it is xxx

I'm still quietly going mental as AF has not turned up yet. If it's not here by Monday that's me out for IVF this month. I'm already 5 days late

Tame so good to see you. I can't believe you've only got a few weeks to go! Which clinic are you using?

Juicy had her little girl a few weeks ago and Maybe had a little girl 2 days ago too. They are both little beauties

Thanks you lovely lot! Gluten free is going ok thanks tame, it's been 3 weeks I think so not that long. So not too late to start Weren't you going to do a gluten free diet in the summer? I miss pizza, bread and decent biscuits but apart from that it's ok! Good luck in Czech Republic! Are you going to Brno too? Please let us know how you get on.

Cups thanks so much for letting us know about Juicy and Maybe. What lovely news. Please pass on my congrats.
Hope AF rocks up soon. I bet you are going mad.

Well done no beer on getting 4 viable embies, that's a great result. Welcome to being PUPO! Your test date is a few days before mine which is supposed to be on the 12th April (my clinic sets OTD a whole 2 weeks after transfer irrespective of what stage of development the embryo's were in). I've always tested early (usually 10dp 5dt) but not sure that I will this time. Bet I cave...

Vanilla: clexane does sting. Ouch! He things we do!

Turq: hope you get a good nights sleep tonight .

Cupcake: why would your cycle be cancelled if you are late with AF? I don't get it... Anyway: hope it comes and you can get started!

It was my 4 year old's party today. Am pooped! I'm supposed to take it easy, but life goes on doesn't it. And when they say take it easy, what does that mean exactly? You just have to get on with it! It was a lovely day, the sun saved us as we had it in the garden instead of inside.

Gotta get some kip. Am cream crackered. Xx

Cups, I am cheering your af on....c'mon!!!
So lovely to hear maybe and juicy both have their well deserved babies now. Gives everyone hope xxx your turn next xx

Oh perhaps I will just go for it then- I'm feeling like I haven't tried my best for this cycle and it's probably our best shot I've eaten like a pig and indulged in red wine. I'm a tramp!!!

Is juicy still on here? And maybe? I would love to check in on them.

I fly out to to Brno 2 weeks on Wednesday but then we travel to a clinic in Zlin which is a sister clinic of reprofit.
We have been matched with a donor already- she is 22, 5'4" and weighs 8 stone. She is a university student.

I have had a long acting down regulating injection and I have to start oestrogen tablets on Tuesday to build up my lining. I have also sneakily started to take 10mg of pred a day to kill off those NK cells.

It suddenly occurred to me last night though that even this isn't a given- we have been told that we are guaranteed 2 good blastocysts to put back or we get another go but it could still go wrong at any hurdle. I'm trying very hard not to entertain these thoughts but the fear is there. I dream about bleeding early again and wake up bereft.

Last night I dreamt that I was 9dp5dt and out to lunch. I started bleeding so much that the tin of Vaseline in my pocket was covered in blood and I was frantically wiping the blood off. Does anyone here analyse dreams??!!!

I need to get positive but also mentally ready for the worst- an impossible feat I think

Res- just wanted to say that I completely understand the pain if a cancelled cycle. I had one cancelled when I failed to down regulate last October/November. The frustration was immense. I think I cried more than when I miscarried! I hope you are ok xxx

Are lots of people about to test on here? Could we have a tiny roll call just so I can catch up?

Xxxxx

Tame. Try not to be mean to yourself. I spent months off alcohol, only decaf tea,healthy eating etc for my first cycle of ivf....I bled before OTD it failed :( second cycle, I was so sure it would fail again I was out drinking heaps a week before starting, hadn't been healthy at all! This was my successful cycle!!! Obviously I don't encourage my silly behaviour, but sometimes I question how much what we do makes any difference!!

Also just wanted to say that I'm thinking of everyone on here still trying to achieve success with their ivf to become a mummy. Xx

I miss my mum a lot. She went too soon and never met my DS.

Stars- I hear more stories like yours than the other way round!!

Happy Mother's Day to those with babies still to come- they are out there somewhere!! And make sure you do something that mums really cannot do today like an expensive lunch with lots of wine

Nobeer, 41. 1dp5dt. OTD 10 April.

tame I'm no expert but I think that dream sounds like an anxiety dream. Which is more than understandable under the circumstances! I would LOVE to go out for a posh lunch with langostines, shellfish, paté, wine etc! But having stew at home instead. With a naice glass of water.
