Over here...

That does sound odd val- best to get a dildo cam up there and flush it all out!

I start my estradiol tablets tomorrow- I hope it makes me feel more normal [twatface] I can't talk properly and keep doing mega stupid stuff.

Seriously, if anything else comes out I will be seriously concerned for my internal organs!

Nothing like a frottage with dildocam to brighten my day!

bad and bugs that is excellent news. You are completely right about IVF changing pregnancy though. I am aghast at people on the August ante-natal thread with me buying loads of baby stuff and furnishing nurseries. I'm planning to send mr euro out with a long list if/when I am in established labour.... (well, perhaps not quite, but I am tempted).

My fave bit with a dildo cam is when they wangle it about so bloody hard they lift you off the bed. Oh? Just me? Ok!

Just watching OBEM. I should feel sad watching it but I love it, I feel a massive amount of hope when I watch it. Tonight's is very sad though. There have been tears.

I have found a hypnotherapy cd especially for donor egg treatment- yay!

Oh bad that's fab news! My scan was the other week too, it's amazing isn't it!

Keeping fingers crossed for you all

Thanks for your supportive words stars.

Massage sounds amazing tame, enjoy!

Bad and bugs: lovely to hear from those that have been through it and come out the other side. I wish you both the smoothest of pregnancies. I can only imagine that the BFP is the start of a whole other type of worry...

Vallinna: lenogest is an IM progesterone injection that I take twice a week. I also take clexane each night and pills 3 times a day. No wonder my progesterone levels were high! Hope you sort out whatever this bleeding issue is. X

Worryingly, I have just found boxes of drugs, none of which I have been told to take called prontogest. Does anyone know what it's for? I will call the clinic tomorrow

Bugger- that oiky couple remind me of me and my ex when I had my DD. I am very posh now though and drink pimms, eat avocados and always have fresh Lillie's in the house.

So glad the poorly baby survived

Can we have a list of test dates please???

Bears- is prontogest a progesterone injection??? Are you having bum bullets too??

I also wish you all very smooth pregnancies you lovely graduates xxx

And I hope you sneeze your babies out like the oiks on OBEM

Oh with me Tame I am always convinced they are going to burst through my cergix/vag wall trying to locate an ovary....

bears menkulling? moi?! I'm trying not to indulge in a spot of symptom spotting!

Nobeer- are you receiving any immune treatment??

Thanks everybody! You lot are so fab. I have sat here sniggering at your comments as well. You are a witty lot! Bugs and Bunny, so glad everything is going well for you guys too. I hope we all sneeze our babies out too! I have t been on the ante-natal threads either and don't think I'll join them. I feel like am old cynic in the face of all the excitement and confidence! I feel alot less anxious having got through the scan now though and having had one baby already, I am probably a bit more relaxed than you first timers (although arguably more terrified about the birth - arggghh!) As Vanilla says, (thanks for your lovely words, Van!) we will all feel better when you can feel the baby move. I used to poke my DS constantly to make sure he was still moving about! I think I will have to watch OBEM now. The last one I watched was the one where the girl with cerebral palsy was having her C Section and the spinal block hadn't worked - the stuff of pure nightmares! Anyway, hope all of you ladies are having a good day. I feel like a new woman this morning, I really do. Loads of love and hugs to you all xxc

Bad lovely that your pregnancy is progressing well. Must be nice to get the first twelve weeks out of the way.

Vallinna have you worked out where the bleeding is coming from?

Tortie how much is your IVF in Czech if you don't mind me asking? I've just discovered there is a clinic 30 miles away from me which offers a three cycle package for £5500. Wish we'd known that before. I think we will change to there next time as my current clinic is NHS and you get the same even if you are private like us. No extras like blasts, scratch etc. it's the same price too and has better results. It's a subsidiary of The London Women's Clinic.

I haven't tested again. My OTD is Friday at 8am and then they ring me by lunchtime with the results. I haven't had any bleeding at all but I know that probably the progesterone.

On Sunday I was getting spotty and bad moods like period was coming. My usual luteal phase is 12 days so that would have been right for starting on Monday but of course it couldn't start coz of the progesterone. Is that usual? I've had lots of ewcm last couple of days TMI which i normally get before my period starts so expecting it any day.

It seems even more cruel to make it to test day with no bleeding as you are still going to hope.

Bears and nobeer how are you coping with the 2ww?

I have my son off school sick today which I'm loving for company for me. I wish I could be happy with just him. I looked into adoption a lot yesterday so that may be an option. H says no though. Anyway, I'm racing ahead.

Bad hair- your excitement is lovely very happy for you to be in a relaxed place xx

Turquoise- we are paying around £4500 I think for a full donor cycle including drugs, embryoscope, intralipids and hopefully PICSI. When I get home later I will fish out the invoice and break it all down for you so you can see what I'm paying xx

Course, need to add flights and hotel onto that but they are quite cheap really x

That's about how much it was for my ICSI cycle anyway including everything so it wouldn't save me any money. Good for those in more expensive areas though.

Ah for a donor cycle? I have no idea how much that would cost in the UK. I can see the benefits of going abroad for that definitely.

We paid £6k for a 'normal' cycle. A donor cycle would have been £8-9k.

I'll write up a breakdown later x

Turq are you at the Bridge Centre (have we had this conversation before ). Only ask as that is where I am and they are connected in some way to LWC.

So, scan this morning and lining is 5.9mm...which may not sound much to most but at this stage is fricking amazing for me. Over night the bleeding/clot shedding has stopped. No idea what my body is doing. Just hope the lining continues to thicken, and stay thick.

Val glad your lining is thickening. That's brilliant, you must be pleased.

I've never heard of the Bridge Centre sorry. Must have me mixed up. I meant the London Women's Clinic in Darlington.

Great news Val
