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

Tame how are you feeling this morning?

Tame - a thought - early v strong line - one sticking, one not?

Oh, did I fill the last thread without knowing or starting a new one? How rude . Thanks Stars for stepping in!

So much for stress free lead up to ET. DD not well so been up in the night (let's face it, been up most of the night) daily since the weekend. DH away and have a must-go situation at work so had to take DD to nursery today. As we entered, it was noted how unwell she looked so feeling irritated by work (reasonable), irritated by DH's absence (unreasonable), guilty (of course) and sad . Why should I have another when I can't even look after the first properly?

Wish I could have !

You see, feelin' so sorry for self that had to tell you all twice!

Funny how the icons are different when you post on the website as opposed to the app...

Res, firstly, have a hug! Secondly, isn't it a bit eat for wine? Lol and thirdly, don't be mean to yourself. You're tired, that's enough to send us all in a Tizz! I know it's no consolation, but I had barely a wink of sleep last night either. Feel wretched this morning. Am glad I didn't have to go to work tho.

Tame, how are you hun? X

Hello my friends xx

I'm ok- still spotting. Bit pink, bit brown, tiny bits of red, mostly pink (I can siiiing a rainbow!!!!....) then sometimes, nothing. Dh is wondering if I've irritated myself putting the utrogestran in- he's so hopeful. Clinic think its implantation OR an embie coming away x

I've stopped the aspirin. Line is still there this morning.

It's a waiting game and could totally go either way. I'm not hopeful BUT I do feel pregnant- awful taste in mouth, sore boobs and feel a bit woozy. That's a development on the last pregnancy- just a sort of 'spiritual' sense of I am.

And for today, I am. May not last till tomorrow but at least we achieved a pregnancy (again!!)

Hi ladies, can I join you? Starting first ivf cycle this month, down reg drugs due to be started in 3 weeks time, hopefully with stimms through May/June and EC/ET at end of June. DH and I have been ttc for almost 3 years and have a case of unexplained infertility. We are both 34 and get one round of nhs ivf, so this is it. Have been reading mn posts for a while but not contributed before, so sorry if i don't always get the jargon

Just got my first bHCG back...whilst on it's own it doesn't mean that much it was my consultant rather than nurse who called as it should be around 70...mine was 1084 . No way of knowing until an early scan but looks like there may have been double sticking.

Hi lumen. Lots going on here at the moment so jump in!

Val - or maybe one split and it's !!!

Fuck. Res. Do. Not. Joke.

Or.....two split and there are 3 ;)

I meant to write 4!!!

Tame, I really hope this time is different and good. X

Hi Lum, welcome aboard the roller coaster x

Thanks all. What is the test you have had done val? Did they offer a reason for why the result might be so high?

Hello lumen! Is that Lumen as in from dexter?

Pissing hell val!!!

Tame omg I don't check the thread for a day and you only go and get a BFP! I'm keeping everything crossed it's just break through bleeding/from slight trauma. I know how scary this part is, we are all here holding your hand x

Val at over 1000! I'm thinking it's got to be twins. I bet you can't wait for the scan now!

Hi Lumen, welcome to the egg buddies. Sorry you have to be here but everyone is great on this thread. I've learnt so much about IVF on here, it was great for while I was going through my first IVF cycle.

Hi tame, yes big dexter fan

I love dexter too

Welcome Lumen, hope this thread is lucky for you (wasn't for me but most seem to be). Which protocol are you doing?

Val I didn't realise you'd got a BFP, congratulations! Have you just done FET?

Congrats Tame too, hope it sticks.

I've got a free open day at new clinic 31st may then hopefully starting second cycle in July.

Does anyone who knows about IVF think it would be better for me to do short protocol this time? I think I was over suppressed. One ovary and normal FSH.

What is the new clinic??

I think a change of protocol could throw up a better response, some say better eggs.

Out of interest- what was your dose, drug and response on previous cycles??

Here is a very wise platitude....

You cannot keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome.

So true x

Turq I'm trying short this time as I got lots of immature and poor quality eggs last time on long. How did you do last time? I've read that short is generally better for women with a lower AMH and poorer quality eggs.
