Over here...

turq at mine, they only gave me enough drug to get me through until my next scan, to stop you buying more than you may need, as they were so expensive and you can't get refunds. Not sure if that's what they are doing with you? My first lot was 6 days worth (which was coincidentally £420!) then I got two days at a time as I was having scans every other day. Are you having menopur?

Hi ladies - your pharmacists sound great! My drugs were over £800 and I have quite a few left over from my cycle.

Congrats to all the PUPO ladies and WOW to Moggle on the 10 frozen blasts - that is amazing. Good luck to those of you about to start stimming (it's a breeze compared to the DRing on Buserelin, it really is. Congrats also to Bugs on a successful early scan and hello to everybody else.

Sorry I have been absent from this thread for a few days. I have been gripped with anxiety over my early scan and kind of just had to put my head in the sand and pretend it wasn't looming over me by trying to pretend it wasn't happening. Anyway, I am soooooo delighted and relieved because we saw an 8 week old foetus with a strong heartbeat today. I was so anxious that I almost puked on the scan table and then wept uncontrollably after seeing the little image on screen. The last two times I was there, I was either told I'd miscarried or that it was an ectopic and I had to go and be prepped for tube removal, so it felt sooooo amazing to finally get some good news.

I hope so much that all of you ladies on here get to see your baby on the ultrasound screen soon too. And thanks once again for all the brilliant support I've had from you on here - you ladies are brilliant xxx

Bad so happy your scan went well. You deserve every happiness. It makes you appreciate it much more when it's hard won.

Hi guys.

Bad - great news re scan. If I ever have another post-BFP, I know that I'll be the same in the run up for the same reason.

I haven't posted for a while for no good reason so nothing interesting to say. Work busy, DD been ill so not sleeping, am knackered blah blah.

Wish - is it ET tomorrow? Good luck!

How're the PUPO crew?

And what is it with the drugs? Why do they prescribe enough pessaries to get you to week 12 when you might only need them for a fortnight? On my last invoice from Care, they also added an 'administration' charge of £21 because my drugs cost less than £150! Obviously, I rang to ask for a private prescription instead of (literally) throwing away £20. And the place I'm getting them from is 50% cheaper anyway!

I've just had a look at what I've been given and it's called Merional. Maybe this is cheaper that menopur? I'm on 225 units a day. Is this the same as you've been on ladies?

I've been told I'll only be prescribed pessaries for 20 days res it seems some companies like to rip us off! As if we weren't paying out enough. Ivf must be like weddings, attracting a premium.

I've also only got enough predators to last me til OTD plus a few extra. Haha, autocorrect fail on pessaries, but I'm going to go with it.

bad that's so exciting!! Great news and hope you can relax for a bit now :-D

Well this PUPO is fine. Not many symptoms to speak of, few twinges down below, and I've had a cold since Sunday evening which is making me feel a bit pants. Our clinic really tries to drum it into us that any symptoms in the 2ww are purely down to the progesterone so not to read to much into them... It is hard though! Work is dragging and I am wishing the days away. DH is not keen on testing early and nor am I, really, maybe a day early....

bad that's brilliant news. :) I felt the same, never having had a good scan before.

res my clinic was the opposite - they would only give you enough drugs to get you through to the next appointment.

Bad am so pleased that the scan went well.
wish good luck with ET
res nice to see you!
euro hello to you too!
Waves to brooker, turq, moggle and everyone else.

I had my scan today and the drugs seem to have worked better than we thought they would (that must be a good sign, right?) and so EC has been brought Forward to Friday and ET next Wednesday. Was a bit shell shocked when I came out to be honest, but relieved that I only have a couple of injections left. Have to Trigger tomorrow evening at 8.30pm which is going to be interesting as it is right in the middle of a committee Meeting that I am chairing.

And now for a bit of a rant - you have been warned. After my appointment I phoned DH to tell him that things have been brought Forward and he has been off with me ever since. Apparently it has nothing to do with me but he is pissed off, that he has to rearrange everything when he had already rearranged Meetings and booked time off work for next Monday (orig. planned EC). Well I am so sorry for being an inconvenience Mr Poppins. Where the f*ck do you get off? There I am going in to the clinic twice a week and having things shoved up me where the sun don't shine so that we can have a Baby. Lets not Forget the hormones, the stabbing, the blood tests, the GA and a Needle being shoved up my foof. and lets not even mention the MFI as that would be really unfair But if it is too much for you to arrange things on 2 poxy days at work, then so be it. , , . Or AIBU?

OMG - you have every right to rant, Marypops!! Have you said this to him? You should - I would def bring up the MFI as well (evil woman that I am!) if he still doesn't get it. Great news that the drugs are working well though.

Thanks everybody for all of your kind words, ladies. I think I am still in shock and can't stop looking at my scan pics. I will keep lurking on this thread for a bit though, if none of y

Oops - if n

Ah feck - am trying to write ''if none of you mind'! Am hoping so much for some more BFPs soon! X

Oh my gosh badhair that's so amazing! I'm so so happy for you, it must have been such an amazing feeling. I really want to experience it myself!

marypops you have every right to rant about that. I seriously hate men sometime. Who the feck do they think they are?? Raaaaah!!

I feel better now.... Sorry... Ahem

Thanks for you well wishes for my FET tomorrow. I'm crapping it but slightly terrified too. I may be the first to wizz in the docs face

I just read my post and it made no sense! I meant I'm crapping it but slightly excited too. Clearly deep down I'm terrified really!

Bad my eyes got a bit moist reading your post. Very happy for you

MaryP YOU BLOODY TELL HIM! Your rant is completely acceptable Good luck on Friday.

Brooker I forgot to tell you, beef stew was brilliant. I had some for lunch today too.

Turq yes IVF is like weddings, except you don't get drunk or get to go on a honeymoon.

Wish, sorry I missed your post. Good luck holding in all that wee! or not

Morning all

What lovely, lovely news bad
maryp hope you managed to sort things with DH
wish good luck today. Will be thinking of you

I had a horrible day yesterday & felt awful with strong AF cramps and exhaustion. A good nights sleep & I feel much better -. Will catch up later. x

bad that's fab fab news!!!!!

mary bad Mr Poppins! Men really don't get it do they!

Hi to everyone else, good luck with 2wws ECS and transfers!!!

Good luck for the transfer today wish and holding in the wee! I was really glad when I found out my clinic didn't need a full bladder for it!

MaryP good effort on the stims, and hope your DH stops being such a dick ASAP:-(

Thanks again, ladies - you are all so lovely!

Wish - good luck with the transfer today. I didn't find the urge to wee that bad! I was too busy stressing about the catheter being stuck inside me, but the transfer itself was okay.

Hope everybody is enjoying some nice Spring weather today. I am stuck inside planning for a lesson observation tomorrow but my heart isn't in it. I would love to just tell my wanker boss that I''ll be off on Maternity Leave soon!

I'm PUPO ladies! Woo! I've forgotten how bizarre it is being in control for so long then loosing the control within half an hour! Oh well, let the menkulling begin

badhair that magical day of telling your boss that you'll be off on maternity will come very soon and you're gonna love it!

P.s I didn't piss in the docs face.... Phew!

Yay!!! Well done, Wish!

Well done for not pissing yourself wish and congrats on being PUPO!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies!

Congrats on PUPO-edness Wish
