Thanks for your indignation on my behalf. I felt so crap last night. I'm the least likely dealer in counterfeit international prescriptions or drugs that you can imagine.
star it shouldn't delay my start date although one of the reasons I didn't rush to get drugs to start this cycle was that I wanted to order through asda as they were cheap / easy. Ha.
I'm going back tonight to meet the regional manager as I don't want to be accused of fraud like that without a decent explanation.

Trixietwenty16 · 02/02/2016 16:36

Hope it goes well this evening Boris, let us know what they have to say for themselves.

bananafish81 · 02/02/2016 17:38

Good luck Boris - give em hell! Open a massive can of whoop ass on them.

Had my first beta today - v good news. Have to see what the second beta on Thu says but for now I am officially up the duff Grin

BorisIsBack · 02/02/2016 19:02

Ok so I went back, with some strong words I borrowed from my DH who's a good negotiator. they had a meeting with the pharmacy regional manager and pharmacists in store and decided they hadn't sufficient grounds to continue saying the prescription was forged. They have now agreed to dispense the drugs. My bank account is now £650 poorer but I can collect the drugs tomorrow. Big relief. Bring on next cycle. .

bananafish81 · 02/02/2016 19:31

Kerpow!! Nice one Boris. So excited for you xx

star1980 · 02/02/2016 19:32

Congratulations Boris and Banana! :)

BorisIsBack · 02/02/2016 19:49

Trixietwenty16 · 02/02/2016 20:00

Woohoo Boris!!

Banana, amazing!! Congratulations :). Xx

loopylou1984 · 02/02/2016 22:24

I've finally got my nurse consultation tomorrow so should get a plan set for the end of the month!

Hope everyone's ok tonight, xx

bananafish81 · 02/02/2016 22:43

Good luck for tomorrow sammy - so excited for you. Let's get this show on the road! Xx

loopylou1984 · 03/02/2016 06:33

I wish I was excited banana. I just feel numb to it to be honest. I don't think I believe it's going to work for us. Xx

Good luck sammy we have everything crossed for you Flowers

star1980 · 03/02/2016 10:49

good luck today Sammy. I understand the numb feeling - I'm kind of in that situation now with trying naturally, it feels totally futile. But with IVF it's different. I read that you should think of IVF as a course of three cycles, so just because it didn't work last time doesn't mean it won't work this time, especially if you can do something to build up your lining a bit.
Got my fingers crossed for you Flowers

Aiming for a BFP a month for this thread (which will make it my turn in May/June when I start IVF Smile)

MPP81 · 03/02/2016 11:33

Hi all!

Sorry I've been a bit absent. Had assignments due in for uni and a couple of wedding things that needed organising.

Banana that's amazing news! I am so so pleased for you! Grin Fx for higher levels on Thursday!

Boris, I cannot BELIEVE Asda said those things to you! Bloody hell! Good for you for going back there and getting it sorted. I'm very glad you got everything you needed.

Good luck for today, Sammy. I'm sorry to hear youve not been feeling great. Flowers

No news from me at all really. Due AF in 3-5 days, though very conscious of last months longer than usual cycle so will have to bear that in mind and not get excited if it's more. We've bought some preseed to use next month and I think I'll go back to temping and opk's too because I'm not as thrilled with giving it all up as I hoped I'd be. I think I'd rather have a better idea of what's going on.

Trixietwenty16 · 03/02/2016 14:17

Hopefully you feel better after your appointment Sammy, I know it is hard at times but try and stay positive.

loopylou1984 · 03/02/2016 15:21

Thanks everyone, I'm in the waiting room now. Appointments at 3.30. Xx

loopylou1984 · 03/02/2016 17:20

It's really something when the nurses walk in the waiting room and can say hello to you by name even though you're not on their patient list!

Appointment was fine, am provisionally booked in for baseline on 29th depending on when af arrives. I'm having estrogen patches as well as the progynova and cyclogest predators this time too. I have also asked for a prescription for some kind of anti sickness pills in case I have the same reaction again which they are looking in to.

It turns out that they have a time limit from when they start the ball rolling for NHS treatment to actually starting it and my proposed dates are going to mean I won't have reached test date before the cut off. Thankfully a more experienced NHS lady came in and said they can pause the clock as I am already planning a cycle privately. Phew! Xx

lucieloos · 03/02/2016 19:38

That all sounds good Sammy, I think your lining should thicken up nicely with the patches and progynova. I think we should both be having our baseline scans around the same time! Glad all is ok with your NHS round as well. All systems go! Roll on the end of the month.

OP posts:
Trixietwenty16 · 03/02/2016 20:12

Glad it went well Sammy. Good that you can pause the NHS clock, I couldn't have my NHS scan until we'd finished our private treatment. Hopefully you don't need it though!

loopylou1984 · 03/02/2016 20:14

Lol - just re read my post! Cyclogest predators!!!!! About right really Wink pessaries for anyone who may stumble upon this thread.

I hope it does the trick, I'd love to get to 7.5mm at least. Although again the nurse said today that they would be very happy with 6.9 again, and that all the up to date research talks about 6.5 being the minimum. Xx

bananafish81 · 05/02/2016 12:54

sammy love Cyclogest predators!!! Grin

Keeping everything crossed that the oestrogen does the trick. My lining went from 5.5mm on Mon at EC to 8.5mm at my lining scan on the Fri, so for me the Progynova and Cyclogest really did work miracles. I'm still taking 2mg of Progynova three times a day and all being well I will take it up until 12 weeks - so hoping it does the trick to give you a beautifully cushiony lining

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing OK.

Second beta was yesterday: hCG hasn't quite doubled but it's gone up 70%, which Dr says is fine - apparently as long as it doubles within 48-72h it's on track. Wants to do another on Mon just to be sure. Feel a little bit queasy and never been so delighted to feel a bit 'off' in my life!!
