Thanks for the flying reassurance Turq and MaryP, we are flying into JFK. I am ridiculously excited, it's the most extravagant holiday we've ever booked. We are using the money we had saved for a private IVF go so it's going to be a lean year afterwards trying to build that back up.

Wish when are you going to test again? x

wishwash · 11/03/2014 22:43

I'm very jealous about your NYC trip cups. My bestie is going next month.

DP doesn't want me to test until Friday now so we know for sure. It's gonna be difficult! TMI Especially as by now I would usually have break through brown blood and I have numerous "symptoms" that are clearly the progesterone.
It's 7dp5dt tomorrow and I've done we'll not to stress up to this point but now I just want to know! Raaaar!

Am I the only one due to test at the mo?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 11/03/2014 23:59

Wish fingers crossed you can hold out until Friday. I know how horrid the last few days are. To be honest I was going crazy from about 3 days post transfer! I really really hope it is a BFP for you xx

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 05:28

Wish hold on in there! Hate to say it but DH is right.
Cups NY is just amazing. You'll have an amazing time. What a wonderful way to spend your savings & a great idea from DH

Am getting very excited about ET today. I'll see you all later. I'll be sitting in the Pupo carriage. Choo choo

Turquoisetamborine · 12/03/2014 06:26

Good luck for ET Mary hope it goes smoothly.

wishwash · 12/03/2014 07:53

Woo maryP let's do this! I'll be with you in that carriage for 2days then I will either be going to first class carriage or the bar carriage! Good luck lady xx

moggle · 12/03/2014 07:58

mary good luck with ET today!
wish think DH is right (how annoying!). But I know it's hell waiting. Hope the bleeding stays away.

Well it's OTD today and I just got a good line on the test the clinic gave me, woo!! Wish I could tell some family now when the excitement is so new. It's my mum's 60th today too!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/03/2014 08:40

Good luck for ET MaryP, you'll be PUPO before you know it Smile
Wish its first class only for the lovely egg buddies!

Moggle that is fab news! Are you going to tell your mum?

BrookerC · 12/03/2014 09:42

Good luck maryp. Hope you get a lovely crop Smile

moggle · 12/03/2014 09:50

cups think we are going to wait until our 6wk scan which is on the 28th. Which means we can tell her on the Mother's Day weekend which is nearly as good :-) they know we've been doing ivf so will be waiting for news.
Awkwardly we are going out for a posh lunch at a Michelin star place on Saturday, with parents, my bro and SIL and a cousin. We're having the tasting menu so we're all supposed to have the same food so it will be rather obvious if I have to tell them I can't have various things, may have to have a sneaky email to the restaurant today...

cups I've flown "medium haul" so far (5-6 hrs) at 10 weeks, and have 2 long haul trips planned at what will be 20 weeks and 22 weeks. There is no reason not to fly apparently and lots of people do.

I usually favour window seats and just gettign cosy for the duration, but for these flights I have gone for aisle seats so I can get up regularlyand move around (to minimise the thrombosis risk) and also because I found I bloated up HORRIBLY on the flights I did at 10 weeks and was just massively uncomfortable sitting down.

BTW, my biggest concern was the backscatter radiation security machines (although they are apparently fine I am unconvinced). They use them loads in the US but the TSA or whatever it is called rules say you have a right to request a patdown instead (I have heard they get @rsey if you do but I really don't care), so if this bothers you, you might want to take a print out of the rules. I think in the UK though, they are used much more rarely, but if you are randomly selected you might not be allowed to fly if you refuse.

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 14:30

Budge up wish I've come to join you in the pupo carriage. Got 2 embies on board & have got us a couple of alcohol free beers «passes wish a bottle of finest German alcohol free beer hoping that it will be the first of many»

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 14:36

Transfer was awful because the Dr was really rough &I actually came out in tears. Am fine now though & trying to stay focused on my 2 little passengers. Nothing to freeze unfortunately but am happy with 2 good embies from 4 eggs

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/03/2014 15:12

Yay MaryP you are PUPO! Choo choo! Hope you are resting x

Moggle that will be lovely timing, I would email the restaurant to stop everyone getting suspicious!

Euro I was hoping you would reply as I know you do a lot of travelling for work. How are you doing? How's little eurobean?

Wish hope you are hanging on in there! Just two more days to wait.

My consultant has called today and apologised. Apparently she came to see me in recovery but I was too out of it to talk. She did come to the ward to see me at about 8pm as she had been stuck in A&E with an emergency. Obviously we had gone by then as we were told she had gone home. Anyway apparently my lining looked normal thank god and they removed a lot of it while doing the scratch. The plan is to now start short protocol in about 2 weeks when I get my next AF. If my lining is too thick I will be given some tablets to induce more bleeding and then start a week later. Im so relieved that I might actually be starting soon. My last cycle was in July and the wait has been horrendous. I'm just desperate to have another shot at getting that elusive BFP.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/03/2014 15:13

Forgot to say grr to the rough doctor Angry MaryP x

wishwash · 12/03/2014 15:45

Ah maryp that's hideous Sad my do has been fantastic with my transfers but I've had a couple terrible experiences with smears and hpg's which scarred me for life!

cups that's great news about your hysteroscopy. I have one booked for April incase this one doesn't work. Was your private or nhs? I've managed to get it on the NHS which terrifies me, I've had nothing but bad experiences with nhs procedures in the past but there's no point paying if I can get it for free. My scratch was private and was a breeze.
I'm so glad you get to go again very soon. Eek x

wishwash · 12/03/2014 15:46

~ props herself up next to maryp and gulps her nice alcoholic free beer~~

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 16:44

Cheers wish!

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 16:45

Cups grassy news on starting soon. You have been waiting ages too. Bless you. Did you want a beer too?

WannabeMaryPoppins · 12/03/2014 16:53

Just thinking what a shame they don't make alcohol free gin. Could kill a G & T right now

starsandmoonandback · 12/03/2014 17:05

Congrats to you pupo ladies Smile

Wish,10dpo def too early to test. Is say 12dpo with a first response is pretty safe, if you can't wait til Friday! Fingers crossed for you.

Congrats also to Moggle (and was there another) who've had those 2 lines! Up bum YES BABY!!!!

Res, I promise to reply very soon. Not been on much....sorry Blush

wishwash · 12/03/2014 17:07

I feel all numb and tingly like AF is there waiting. Hmph Sad

Moonfacesmother · 12/03/2014 17:08

Hi everyone,
I have name changed, I was Onelittlebugbear and I had a failed cycle last month. I haven't read all through the new thread so apologies but I just needed to ask something.

I've ovulated as normal this month, two weeks after I bled following the failed cycle and I'm due to come on on Friday.
I feel absolutely horrific. It's like the worst pmt I've ever experienced. I know I'm being completely irrational and I cant stop crying. In fact I would go so far to say as I feel suicidal. I know it is pmt because it is like I usually feel but one hundred times worse. I've been snappy with ds and said some really awful things that I don't mean. I've come very very close to saying to him "just fucking shut up and leave me alone." I haven't, but when he's constantly following me around bleating it's really getting on my nerves.
I feel really really on the edge. It doesn't help that dh is away all this week so there is no one to talk to. Although he's probably glad to be away and miss me being like this.
I shut my hand in the car door this morning and this simple event nearly finished me off. Thankfully ds was at school so I was able to sit and cry in the hallway for half an hour or so in peace. I don't want to see anyone or talk to anyone or go anywhere or do anything. I just want to be left alone to cry. I've only felt like this for a few days and it's got worse as the week has gone on so I'm hoping once I come on I will feel less like I want to die. I've been idly thinking how nice it would be to get run over or killed in a car accident.

Has anyone else experienced similar after a failed cycle? I assume it must be to do with the hormone levels. I've had period pain for over a week too.

Turquoisetamborine · 12/03/2014 18:32

Moon I haven't had a failed cycle yet but just wanted to say that sounds awful and I hope it passes soon. I've said some horrendous things to my family when I've had PMT but they know I don't mean it. Hope someone else will be along soon to answer you xx
