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

[nobeer]

Sorry res, I was so cross about your DH I forgot to congratulate you! Well done and I'm delighted you're feeling optimistic

[Turquoisetamborine]

Moon face, are you One? Hello again.

Sorry your H is a knob Res, you are owed a massive BFP.
Tame, I don't really know your history but I'm sure I will worry too if I'm ever lucky enough to get pregnant so it's understandable. Try to focus on creating a calm and welcoming environment for your baby. That's what my acupuncturist always says to me.

I can't remember what my FSH was whoever asked. I know it was good though. It's on the last thread somewhere. I'll have a copy of my notes from the clinic soon so it should all be in there.

I've added Evening Primrose oil to my arsenal of supplements the last few weeks and it's really good for CM. Anyone else take it? I'd recommend it to anyone trying naturally between cycles.

Hi Turq.

[nobeer]

Hi turq. I was taking EPO for a bit, but you have to stop after ovulation as it can cause uterine contractions.

[Turquoisetamborine]

Ooh thanks nobeer, think I've ov last few days so I will stop now. I'm not tracking my cycle this month for the first time in years.

[twinklestar2]

Congrats tame, nobeer and val!

Fingers crossed for you res.

Waves to everyone else :)

[resipsa]

Hey Winkle! What are now - 6 months? How's it going?

[twinklestar2]

Hey res I am 26 weeks now.

congrats on being PUPO :)

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

Hey Twinks I can't believe you are 26 weeks I was thinking about all you graduates yesterday.

I was also thinking about Fish and Fab. I hope they are both getting on ok.

[twinklestar2]

Hi cupcakes how are you getting on. Its mad isn't it, i never thought id get here after my terrible summer last year. Feeling very blessed and happy. I don't even care about going through labour, just want my baby in my arms!

[vallinnapod]

Welcome to the first full day of mentalhood *Res

[lumen]

Morning all, tame how did you get on with hcg test?

Just had all my dates confirmed. Start dr drugs on 19th of this month with EC/ET scheduled for w/c 23rd June. Anyone else going to be on 2ww with me?

It is finally all a bit more real and exciting and scary!

[vallinnapod]

Good luck Tame!! You'll be fine. Also, try to remember that the number today doesn't mean that much. As long as it is over 5 your are PG. Then it is just the repeat you have to stress about

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

Good luck for today Tame
How's the spotting? Has it eased off?

Twinks I'm glad to hear it's all going well. I hope I can be that zen about the thought of labour once my time comes! I'm ok, I'm waiting for AF to turn up and I should be starting a fresh short cycle. I really hope it works this time. I'm at the 5 year mark now, I can't believe I've been on this journey for so long.

Lumen it's so exciting, once you get started it all happens so quickly apart from the dreaded two week wait

Val are you getting another HCG done? I want to see how the twins quads are getting on

[vallinnapod]

Cheers Cups - yep, blood drawn this morning so will spend from lunch time onwards staring at my phone willing it to ring with good news.

No symptoms whatsoever today so having a mental....

[lumen]

Fx for you Val x

[resipsa]

Oh Val - that result gives me something to look forward to later. Saw a woman in M&S with twin babies today. Those double buggies are a struggle, aren't they?

Tame - where are you?

Lumen - great news that you have a 'Plan'. Hope we get some more joiners to wait with you in June. By then I'll be drinking like there's no tomorrow to kill the pain of loss OR chucking my guts up...

Quite chilled here today although had a strange twinge earlier which caused me to say 'ow' aloud. Having a Day 5 transfer really ups the ante is terms of the head-fuck, doesn't it? My first was Day 2 so I knew nothing could possibly be happening for the first 4 to 5 days but with a Day 5...

OK. Off to work now. So far as they know I'm at a hearing all week. I didn't share that we were adjourned on Tuesday until 2pm today. For once, it all has worked out nicely.

[vallinnapod]

LOL res I love it when a plan comes together! Choosing to ignore buggy comment

Actually looked at my HCG levels from my summer pregnancy (a singleton) last night and at the same stage my first HCG was 616 and my second 1830....looks like I may just have high HCG levels. I had no idea I needed to obsess over them with DS so the only thing I have written down is that they were satisfactory. Og the blissful ignorance in those days Who knows....I am phone watching, willing for them to call...trying desperately hard not to call them until at least 4pm.... will fail

[starsandmoonandback]

Congrats on being pupo Res hope you'll be chucking your guts up in a few weeks time.

Val, eagerly awaiting your results

I may be having transfer about mid June if my frostie defrosts ok. X

[twinklestar2]

Cups - 5 years... It is most definitely your time x

[resipsa]

Hi Stars. Oh, you too have a plan. Good to know.

So, Val and Tame, we wait. I'm a bit worried about Tame's silence...

Had a good laugh winding up DH last night about twins. It seems that hatching blasts with 100% cell recovery do best in terms of achieving a pregnancy after FET. He is genuinely worried. Excellent.

[resipsa]

BTW - Cups - hoping you have no need for Care this year but if you end up there, I'd be happy to share knowledge. I've been, ahem, handled one way or another by all the doctors there now and they are not all the same...

[vallinnapod]

at your DH Res. When I told my DH what the consultant said he was really shocked....despite the fact we had lots of debates about whether we were happy with twins. He was always all for it... I think in his mind, we had two put back with DS therefore it wasn't a risk That said I still think it highly unlikely I am PG with twins.

I am feeling really anxious about the results today though . I can just feel my stomach sinking if my levels haven't risen as the should have done. We are going to Cornwall tomorrow for a week so it is not like I can just get them repeated in another 48 hours time (which would be a KILLER wait any way). Why can I not be a glass half full person??

[starsandmoonandback]

Res, I've not got a firm plan yet! But it's day 1 today and will have endoscratch in about 3 weeks time, ready to start the oestrogen tablets next day 1! Need to get organised and book coordination apt, scratch etc....

Hope you are ok Tame?

Cups, it's definitely your turn

Val???

[starsandmoonandback]

Sorry Val, cross posted. Hang on in there sweetie. Hope they call soon with good news xx
