Part 2 - Am posting in batches as my ipad is playing up!

My scan went well on Thursday, thanks everyone for asking. The dr said everything looks great, although it wasn't my usual dr and he wasn't very talkative or friendly. He didn't even tell me how many follies I have or what size they are, although there seemed to be a good few on the screen. I didn't ask as he said I would be able to check the results that afternoon on the online portal. Then when I looked it just had the blood test results, was so annoyed.

Anyway, I have my 2nd scan on Monday morning with my own dr which I'm looking forward to, is that weird?! I actually feel really great at the moment - am really relaxed about the whole thing and am glad that we are finally making some progress. Maybe I'm lucky that I haven't had any side effects at all so far.

Am not too keen on the Orgalutran injections that I'm now on as well. The stupid needles do go in half as easily as the Gonal. Who cares, it will all be hopefully worth it in the end!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Ok. Wedding update. Am sozzeled. Its official. oh has fecked off to the pub to watch football. Also had a heart to heart with mate and discovered that another friend who has been trying for 3 years is pg with ivf twins although well before the 12 week point so it's not common knowledge. Happy for her, sad for me. Selfish eh?! Pass the wine....

HampshireBlues · 24/05/2014 22:03

Not selfish at all Tiger, perfectly understandable. Have a Wine for me!

Chloe glad all went ok at your scan, will keep everything crossed for Monday and proper news from your Dr.

beakybeak · 24/05/2014 22:21

Ah Tiger that's totally understandable, it will be you soon though. It just shows how many people actually have problems conceiving and keep it quiet. I constantly think people know what I'm up to!

Chloe that's so strange that dr didn't tell you how many and what size! At least you have your regular one for Monday. Hope it goes well for you.

HampshireBlues · 25/05/2014 06:40

None the bl@@dy wiser this morning. Have done the test on the second OTD and it is really difficult to assess if the line is darker - DH and I have been scrutinizing it for the last half hour so I reckon the clinic will want to do bloods tomorrow.

Have decided I'll go for the cup half full approach and say I'm still PUPO.

barkingtreefrog · 25/05/2014 08:07

Definitely still pupo hb, it can be a couple of weeks before some women see a stronger line but it doesn't make them less pg! This is the advantage of using the cb digis - a 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' requires no squinting at the line, and you're not aware of how much it detected to get the result!!

tigerdog · 25/05/2014 08:19

I'm with you, hb. You're PUPO.

I feel disgusting....drank waaaay to much last night for the first time in ages!

RevoltingPeasant · 25/05/2014 11:14

MORNING, HOW'S YOUR HEAD?

Wink

HB I think you are right. Did you say you are at the clinic tomorrow, the BH Monday? They will be able to tell you what is going on!

No AF here yet, not even spotting. 13dpo here, which is quite long for me: normally 10-12 d LP max. However...... This happened once before. I had a random 14 or 15 day LP, got to CD31 (normally more like 26 or 7 days), got all excited, and then....... AF. My temps are dropping slowly over the last couple of days although still well above the line. I will wait till 15dpo and then pimp if no sign of AF, but not holding out hope....

I think DH is getting hopeful which is making me feel guilty and sad :(

RevoltingPeasant · 25/05/2014 11:15

Now I feel like a meanie......

HampshireBlues · 25/05/2014 13:08

Tiger hope the roughness doesn't last too long; carbs & a fry up are in order.

Yes RP the clinic said to call tomorrow - I'm hoping that they'll do bloods and not write me off.

happylass · 25/05/2014 21:21

Hey Berries. I survived the hen do woooohooo! It was an amazing weekend - I loved every minute of it. Seriously suffering now though - I'm getting too old for 2 day benders!
Bushy and HB I hope your hanging in there. Sooo unfair to have all this stress and uncertainty after what you've already been through Thanks
Hope everyone else is ok . I'll catch up properly tomorrow as I'm struggling to keep my eyes open now.

tigerdog · 25/05/2014 21:24

rp it's the glimmers of hope that are the hardest eh, but hoping for you too! I find that although I am pretty regular, on occasion a randomly short cycle is followed by a long one and they somehow equal out.

Head is much better although an early night is in order. Too much white wine, I'm such a lightweight these days as I rarely have more than one or two drinks when I go out. I don't think it was helped by skipping lunch and then not being able to eat much of the food as there wasn't a lot that was gluten free.

hb hope you manage to get some answers tomorrow.

I've got an acupuncture session tomorrow, my lovely lady is seeing me even though it's a bank hol as it will be well timed to kick off ovulation.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday weekend!

tigerdog · 25/05/2014 21:29

Glad you had a great time happy!

lumen · 26/05/2014 09:09

hb andchloe thinking of you both this morning, how have you got on?

Happy bank holiday all other berries and happy half term to all the teacher berries Smile

RevoltingPeasant · 26/05/2014 09:56

HB let us know how it goes!

Tiger hope you are recovered today....

Barking how long do you have to wait now?

Bushy, any news?

About to begin a third day of painting the utility room, which is now gleaming white all over, as opposed to the cream-stained-with-fuck-knows-what that the last owners left us.

14dpo and AF still not here but there are Signs :( if it is going to come, I really hope it's in enough time for me to pop down to Morrisons and get a beer after my painting labours!!

RevoltingPeasant · 26/05/2014 09:57

Also ladybunnikins I have been thinking of you recently and I hope you are okay.

tigerdog · 26/05/2014 13:19

rp are you sure it's af? Poas?

Am pretty much recovered. Work and interview prep to do today so not the most exciting bank holiday!

HampshireBlues · 26/05/2014 13:37

Hi, sad berry today. Blood results just back and hCG is only 9 so I was pg but now am not.

Chloe hope all ok with you today.

RevoltingPeasant · 26/05/2014 13:55

HB Flowers I'm sorry. Is it better than if it hadn't worked at all, or are you just sad it hasn't worked iyswim?

tigerdog · 26/05/2014 13:57

Oh hb I'm so so very sorry to hear that. It just isn't fair. Sending you lots of love x

FeatherFeather11 · 26/05/2014 14:55

So sorry hb. Thinking of you and Mr Hb. Flowers. That bloody sucks. xx

barkingtreefrog · 26/05/2014 15:03

hb I'm so sorry Thanks. Such a horrible thing to get your hopes up then get bad news.

barkingtreefrog · 26/05/2014 15:04

happy did you have a good long lie in this morning? Glad you had a good time :o).

tiger fully recovered now?

rp poa bloody s woman! Otherwise sods law dictates that AF will arrive just after the shops close and it'll be game over for another month and no beer. Which is worse than potentially seeing a bfn then reaching for said beer.....

I've got 7 more days to wait. It's going f*&king slowly.
I pimped this morning as I've been winding myself up about the trigger shot. Google tells me that it can stay in your system for up to 14 days. So potentially I could be very good and wait until 12 13 14 dpo to pimp, but then get a bfp that might just be the remains of the trigger shot. I couldn't bear the thought so I pimped this morning, knowing that 7dpo would be too soon for a bfp, so it would be the trigger shot, and I could then test every day until a bfn, so I knew any following bfp was a real one. Everyone still following me?
Anyway, bfn. So trigger shot has gone from my system already Grin. But then of course I started thinking that some women do get bfps at only 7pdo and..... Angry I need to stop the mentalness!! I've got bad skin and had cramps this morning. At 7dpo I would usually be expecting AF tomorrow (I'm not expecting it because of the progesterone, but there's no guarantee it would definitely hold it off if it was coming), and at this time I would usually get cramps and bad skin Confused. I said this to DH and he said 'I hope it's not that' in a really sad voice, which made me feel really sad too Sad.

Gillster · 26/05/2014 15:27

So sorry HB, I think it's almost worse that you got your hopes up before definitely knowing. Look after yourselves. X

Stop the mental torture now Barking, that's an order. You're just going to have to be patient and stop the early testing.

beakybeak · 26/05/2014 15:59

HB I'm so sorry Thanks

Bushy any news?

Chloe how was your appointment?

Barking I understand your logic! Try and wait though you may drive yourself mad if you don't.

Happy glad you had an amazing hen.

We had family day yesterday was lovely but I feel so far behind in terms of babies and stuff. Anyway there's nothing I can do about that so no point in dwelling. I think I need to focus on something else for a while!
