Eggsellent Egg buddies! For those having ivf during April, May and June and any others still around :-)

Couldn't see another thread so thought I'd make our new one

Hanging - your DH isn't the most supportive, is he? I remember your last cycle. Does he realise how you feel? I suspect not cause if he did then he wouldn't be so bloody insensitive.

You sound so down that I wisj we could meet for a drink cause I know you'd be a good laugh if we could let this TTC business go for a while!

Just delurking to say congrats to Res! So chuffed for you mate x

Res I'm so chuffed about your BFP, well done for testing xxx

One I've got a lots of things I want to say to you. You are definitely not worthless, I'm sure you contribute so much to your family regardless of finances. You have not let your DS down by having PND, it is a medical condition that you had no control over and you deserve to have another child as much as anyone does. I wish I could be more eloquent but I'm still drowsy from EC. Big unmumsnetty hugs.

I'm back home, I got 7 eggs. I'm keeping everything crossed they are mature and fertilise. I know 7 is a good number but I'm quite worried as I got 17 last time and only had 6 by day 1. I'm off for a well deserved snooze.

Cups, 7 sounds great to me. At Care they say 6-13 is ideal so you're in their bracket - congrats! - and I wonder if the big haul last time adversely affected quality.

Fx for your call tomorrow and try not to stress (and I understand the irony there!). Yes, I'm the pot.

Hey Winkle, thanks for dropping by! Early days but you've gotta be happy, eh?

How are you doing? You're due early August, yes? Not long to go!

res!!! I can't believe you held out so long. I'm so pleased for you.

I'm cheering the rest of you on from the sidelines. :)

Hey Euro. We lawyers are patient people .

The fear has kicked in. Scared to go to the loo even though bladder bursting. Feels damp. Probably the pessaries, I know. In Dec, I got the BFP on 15th and started to bleed on 17th (hence holding out this time around until 18th as ET was on the same day in the calendar month). It was my gift for 2 days only and this time round I'm nearing the end of Day 1. Please, please don't let it all go wrong tomorrow (or at all).

I have knicker checked on every loo visit. For the past 25 weeks...

Oh Euro, that's going to be me!

Hello, can I join this thread? I'm on day 5 of down regulation. Already feeling a tad mental...

Hello gateaux. I'm monopolising today so it seems right that I should welcome you first!

Just popping in to see how you are all doing? Hoping you have had some more BFPs? x

Congratulations res! That's super news!
Did you feel pregnant before you tested or not really?
I feel like I should be 'feeling' more pregnant if it has worked!

res I'm a knicker checker too

One I hope you find some kind of peace with your decision. It's a tough choice you've had to make, but you have to do what's right for you. I also echo everything Cups said. Any kind of depression is a disease, a chemical imbalance. Your PND was in no way your fault. Hope your H finds his sympathy gland soon.

Cups well done on that haulage, a nice number. Take things easy and fingers crossed for ET!

Welcome gateaux

Thanks for the welcome. It's so encouraging to see there are some BFPs here!
This is my first IVF so I've lots to learn.

Welcome Gateaux! Do you have a diagnosis? What's your infertility journey before you reached this point?

I'm 34, have a 6yr old gorgeous son who was conceived first month on clomid. Had my first failed ivf cycle in April and now looking for the next one in July hopefully at London Women's Clinic.

One I can't get used to your name changes! I hope you can move on somehow. Please don think any of the pnd was your fault. You deserve to be happy. We will miss you so please hang around and cheer us on. I too would love to go for a drink with you (in fact all the egg buddies) and cheer you up xx

Jodie - I'm on so many drugs that I can't remember what normal feels like TBH. But I'd say that I felt pregnant about a week/10 days post ET then felt gradually less and less so until I forced myself to test yesterday. I genuinely thought it'd be negative. Just goes to show...

Oh no - blood this morning. Can't believe it might be the beginning of the end, again. Not enough to be a significant cause for concern yet but that's kinda what I said in December . So much for relax and enjoy.

How're you all today?

What news, Cups?

Oh Res please try not to worry says the Queen of Stress. When are your bHCGs?

Cups - got it all crossed for the call today x

Val - the clinic doesn't do bloods - just a HPT and then a scan 2 weeks later. Mine is on 2 June but if the bleeding continues then I will go in earlier as it was just too much a headfuck last time to wait for that long. Now scared to undertake Operation Pessary this morning. Of course.
Oh God, God, God - why me?

Backdoor for the cyclogest this morning? I know you know this but bleeding doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister.

Is it worth seeing if they will do an bHCG? Or if your GP will?

If it is any consolation I am in a complete state about my scan this morning to the point where I have considered cancelling it as I just can't bear for anything to have gone wrong. I too and a constant knicker checker and this week have been so crampy. Even now, sitting on the train feeling, umm, oozy , trying to work out what loo I can go and check it in.

Huge, huge hugs x
