any news beedle & loopy? Brooking for you both.

Hello lovelies, hope you are okay, especially Loopy and Beedles.

Mr I and me are feeling pretty down in the dumps tonight. Saw some v close friends today, and one couple announced their pregnancy. Which is lovely, but their due date is what would have been my due date if the first round of IVF worked. Feels a bit strange to think that she is exactly where I could have been. Not like us to be side-swiped by pregnancy announcements (god knows there are enough of them!) but this one has stung a little bit today.

Oh well, onwards and upwards - the next round of IVF will work and that's that.

Withalittlesparkle · 31/05/2015 22:31

Oh Imps, you're only human. I think the closest ones sting the most, and I think it must be even harder to cope when it's linked to a date in your ttc history. I bet you handled it like a trooper though. Be kind to yourself

Imps9 · 31/05/2015 22:53

There's always a plus-side to these sorts of situations Sparks - I just spent a v nice 20 mins selecting some delish yarn colours for their baby blanket. God I love yarn more than is healthy or affordable

Withalittlesparkle · 01/06/2015 06:58

Imps you're actually amazing!!

keepitgoing · 01/06/2015 07:53

oh imps, you ARE amazing. the other upside is that you will be on mat leave together, and as your baby will be a few months younger you can get all their hand-me-downs Grin

beedle, loopy what news?

I stayed away from the tests yesterday, but POAS FRER this morning and it's just as faint as Saturday mornings one, so not feeling very positive about this one now. I think I should be 12 dpo today, although might be out by a day as fertility friend wasn't much help this month, so could be 11 dpo I suppose, but I would have thought there would be more of a result today than 2 days ago? So am now fairly convinced this is going to be classed as a chemical pregnancy/5th mc. Was really hoping this would be our one to work, what with the removal of adhesions and the benefit of the d&c, and taking progesterone earlier, and getting such stronger symptoms. Now feel so negative about it all. Will speak about it all with consultant later, but not sure what else he can suggest. Will test again in a couple of days, but if nothing has improved by then then it'll be time to stop the progesterone I guess.

Imps9 · 01/06/2015 11:03

Oh Loopy . I am willing this one on with all my might. It's still such early days, I'm not sure you could ever expect a strong line at 12dpo even if you'd had a faint one at 10dpo. Let us know what the consultant says.

Thanks Sparks and Keep. I don't feel particularly amazing but sometimes you've just got to keep on keeping on and confront sadness with yarn head on. Here are the colours I've chosen - will hopefully be a nice combination...

keepitgoing · 01/06/2015 11:45

I'm on the app so can't see it imps...

loopy I agree, 12dpo is so early, most people haven't even got a positive by then. so even if it's doubled the hcg is still low. keep the faith. good luck for your appointment today

my NCT friend told me today she's going to TTC in July. would love to be pg together again but I just know she'll get knocked up and I'll be still waiting Sad

Imps9 · 01/06/2015 12:52

Oooooops I just accidentally booked another weekend away for me and Mr Imps. I really must be more careful.

cartoontrickster · 01/06/2015 12:53

gorgeous colours by the way imps.

cartoontrickster · 01/06/2015 12:54

imps! where are you off to now!?
I'm not jealous at all

Imps9 · 01/06/2015 14:27

A long weekend in a cottage in the Lake District in November Grin Hooray for Fridays off work and freedom to do trips away!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/06/2015 14:28

Sorry been a bit busy! Yes I am PUPO :o It was my dr doing the transfer so I managed to persuade her to give me another prescription for progesterone, purely as mental support - she doesn't believe there is any physical need for it

loopy hope it goes ok today, I agree with the others I don't think you'd be able to see the difference between a 10dpo line and a 12dpo line.

imps you are amazing :o

keepitgoing · 01/06/2015 14:39

doesn't mrimps work either?? Wink

Yessssssss for being PUPO!

Withalittlesparkle · 01/06/2015 15:55

Beedles - huzzah for being PUPO!!

Loops - try not to read too much in to the darkness of lines. A line is a line!

Keep - do you have a date to start your next cycle? Of the 8 ladies in my NCT group, 1 has just had a baby and there's me. So it might not happen as quick as you think.

Cartoon - thank for demanding my sickness disappear. It's not working but it's ok, I'm just grateful to be honest
