Come join us on the bumsnet conception bus

[loopylou1984]

Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

sammy sounds rough. Don't go back to work until you are fit. You need to be healthy for the embryo transfer. X

What dose are you on, Sammy? I was on 200mg twice a day at first, but it made me so sick & bloaty that I could barely get out of bed. Now I chop one in half, so am just on 200mg. It still works, but I don't get the bad side effects. It might be worth discussing with your Dr if you are struggling.

Mummy, I have often had to resort to fancy undies since TTC. Whatever it takes to get those tadpoles!

sammy that sounds terrible. No wonder he is concerned about you. Don't worry about your leave, just rest when you need to xx

Nomio I am being seen on the NHS, the waiting time has been around nine to ten weeks, which i think is great!!

Thanks Auf, i hope the next one sticks too, glad your tubes are all clear, thats a great plan, i really do think i have lp problems and that my progesterone lowers to quickly, I am going to write down everything , as i think i will be so overwhelmed that i will forget, also going to log my periods dates and when i start spotting each month and when i get postive opks, im leaving no stone un turned!!, thankyou so much for your advice, i really appreciate it

Boris* oh my, are you ok?, and have not hurt yourself!!

Sammy that is fantastic that you have 8 that have fertilised, fingers crossed for you,!!

Mummy a treat everynow and then is a must, especially if you do so much cooking!!

Eskimo would you not be able to get your tests done on the friday, its only one day out and i am sure my cd21 fell on a saturday and i went to get my bloods taken on cd20, maybe ask them to make a note that it is 20 ,

Thanks everyone - I guess as I have a 'sit down all day' job I thought I should be there right away.

Nomio - I'm on 400mg twice a day! Maybe that really is what's causing it then. I'm only 8st so would have thought I'd require less, not more! Any idea what determines the dose? Xx

I think I'll do that Rainy. Thanks. When is your appointment?

Sorry, Sammy, I got confused, I was on the same as you-400mg twice a day. Now I am on half, so 200mg twice daily. I think 400mg is standard for IVF. Mine are to lengthen my LP, so maybe a lower dose is ok for that.

I definitely agree that you should take things easy. You are going through a lot physically and emotionally. Be kind to yourself.

10 days in a row of dtd. That is all.

kir amazing effort! I thought 7 times in 14 was good going!!

Eskimo my appointment is on the 14 th August x

Oh mummy! I didn't realise that each bus has different people. I've been on different threads. Glad I introduced myself here too.

Thanks Nomio - will see how tomorrow goes.

Welcome raluca

Heading to bed girls, night night, xx

Kir, you are the queen of sex! You definitely deserve a BFP after all that!

Welcome, Morena. It is always nice to have a new face on here.

raluca you are welcome here. We are and endless bus rather than monthly one. We can be a community to support each other. It works well.

kir amazing effort.

To be fair I don't expect to get a bfp this month as dh broke his left for right in my fertile window and only dtd on the last day of opk+. My nipples are a bit tender but nothing else.

Ral I thought there must be a bit of confusion! Glad to have you here.

Thanks ladies. Better had get my bfp cause not sure I can keep this up!

Night sammy and welcome raluca

You deserve it kir!!!

Welcome Raluka

Kir, woah, you deffo deserve a bfp after that shag-a-thon!

Sammy, you must have given your dh quite a fright. Not surprised he's worried. I don't think you should go to work tomorrow if you're not up to it. You need to rest. Hope you have a better night tonight xx

sammy i hope you feel better soon
kir your certificate is in the post! 10/10 for ttc effort!
My fertile window starts when I break up from work on Friday and carries on into my trip to Ibiza. So fingers crossed for lots of sun, sea and successful shagging! But on that note, the evil nurse said I should wait a month after my mc to try again. I hadn't heard this before. I also googled my endometrium measurement (9.6) which seems quite thick so if no bfp I'm looking at a heavy visit from af!

Hi ladies, please may I join the bus? I was on it once before and luckily got off at my destination "babyville" so should now be called Beautifulboys2 really :-) I need to learn and the jargon again now DH and I are trying for number 3. Also have useful info on how it happened last time of anyone is interested x

nympho great fertile window timing! Ignore evil nurse, silly bint.

boy welcome to the bus. Would love to hear your stats from last time. And please could I have your age, cycle number (is this cycle one?) and test date/BFP/af date for this cycle.

And to everyone else good morning!

PS - SOLID SMILEY!!!!!!

sammy!!!
When I started the progesterone I felt a bit nauseous for the first three days but that has eased, if it helps? Otherwise maybe do what nomio suggested especially if it is such a high dose?
