breakfst imps? Its nearly lunchtime!

I Always keep my socks on, on Monday I had "how to train your dragon" ones on! Usually they're just plain black. I even got to keep my tshirt on at my last ET (under my gown) as the nurse said it was a bit chilly! The hospital used to give me long socks (baggy not tight support stockings) to wear for EC and ET, but the clinic just let me keep my own socks on.

Imps9 · 11/02/2016 10:13

You keep your socks on??? Remarkable!

keepitgoing · 11/02/2016 10:34

I keep mine on too!
ET is like any other dildocam for me, just hitch up the dress, or skirt off or whatever. No gown here at either hospital

Imps9 · 11/02/2016 10:47

Seriously? You both keep them on? Well I didn't see that coming. I always make sure my toenails are painted nicely and everything. Not during EC or ET though - no nail varnish then. I wear my nice fluffy socks for ET and my own dressing gown.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 11/02/2016 12:11

Your own dressing gown and your own clothes Shock

ET has Always been in the same "operating theatre" as EC for me. so just bra, pants and gown and socks! and hairnet. MrB has to wear a hairnet, gown and shoe covers. Obviously I take my pants off Before we get down to business!! but I'm allowed to wear them for the walk there and back

Imps9 · 11/02/2016 13:49

Hairnets? Gown? Shoe covers?? Nope, none of that at BH!

keepitgoing · 11/02/2016 19:02

Come to think of it Thailand was the same. Maybe it's just the slovenly brits

Imps9 · 11/02/2016 19:42

We laugh in the face of hygiene.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 12/02/2016 06:26

I'm glad they take it seriously in some parts of the world!

Still no smiley face yet, hopefully tomorrow, which will make ET next friday, which is fine by me. I picked up my extra progesterone yesterday, so I'm all set to go once this egg pops!

Imps9 · 12/02/2016 06:33

Have you got a flashing smiley, or do your eggsticks go straight from O to smiley?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 12/02/2016 07:09

they're the older style ones that just go from O to Smile, can't complain I didn't have to buy them! and I've only just started the box they gave me last month!

Glad I Went for the mammogram yesterday, I would have been agony if my boobs were already tender, they're still a bit sore today. You'll be glad to know I remembered to keep my pants on!

Imps9 · 12/02/2016 10:01

EWWWWWW EWWWWWWWWWWWWW EWWWWWWW I just threw up my breakfast in the toilets at work, but it came out with such force that toilet water and vom splashed back out into my hair/eyes/face OH GOD I FEEL SO UNCLEAN Shock Shock Shock

keepitgoing · 12/02/2016 10:24

Ewwwwwwww but why are you throwing up...? Have you tested yet?...

Brooking for a smiley for tomorrowbeedle

Imps9 · 12/02/2016 10:29

I suspect it's connected with the upset tummy I had earlier this week.

I may well have dunked an IC this morning. BFN as expected. Just wanted to check.

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 13:21

Um, BFP here. Bloody hell!

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 13/02/2016 14:08

Eeeek! Congratulations Imps!! Sounds very promising that you puked yesterday! So full details. What type of test, how dark a line? What next? Go for bloods? What treatment are you on from now? So hope this is a sticky one!!!!

Re me, keep you asked when I would be going for a scan. They have said I don't have to have follicle tracking this cycle as I didn't over react last cycle. Am on cd9, expect to ovulate around cd19/20 if last cycle is anything to go by. If this cycle doesn't work then I have a prescription ready at home for increasing clomid to 3 times a day next cycle. Am also increasing the metformin as of today to 3 times a day. Also have a new prescription sorted for 2 cycles worth of 200mg progesterone to take from 7 dpo. So I don't need to go back to the hospital until approx cd10 of the next cycle, and I'll pick up another prescription for clomid and progesterone for my fourth cycle at the same time, as I've decided it's a lot less stressful to work ahead and have the drugs ready!

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 14:15

Am 9DPO and this is my line on a FRER. Next step is just to ride it out and hope for a) the best; or b) that it doesn't delay IVF yet again.

Sickness isn't a great sign as was sick early doors when I had my MC at 6 weeks and my ectopic. I clearly just have a delicate stomach!

You've prob explained already Loops but talk me through the science behind the metformin again and why it's good for RMC...

Don't stop us now! We're having such a good time, we're having a ball and BROOKING NO ARGUMENT!
BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/02/2016 15:42

Bloody hell imps congratulations :o hoping for a good sticky one

Sounds like you have everything sorted for the next few cycles loopy I have everything crossed for you too

I finally got my smiley face this morning with 2nd MU, FMU was negative but looked positive to me so I tested again a bit later and got the smile. So ET should be next Friday as long as my lining looks OK on wed/Thu.

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 15:44

How did your urine look positive? Confused

keepitgoing · 13/02/2016 16:19

Holy fucking moly, wtaf is going on with you imps!? Congratulations!!! Ooh we are all brooking so damn hard

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 16:23

I don't know Keep, I honestly don't know! That makes 2 BFPs out of two attempts since Nov (given the we didn't try in Dec or Jan) - this, after 4ish years of fuck all. It must be the Proxeed.

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 16:24

Well not quite fuck all - there was the MC last year and the chem in June I suppose.

keepitgoing · 13/02/2016 16:50

Is it a while since dh sperm tested? One shag is all you need, must be super sperm...?

Imps9 · 13/02/2016 16:58

They tell us the results of Mr I's jizz after each round of IVF - it was pretty bad last time but not as bad as before Mr I started the Proxeed.

It's all very bizarre, but I'm ready for whatever happens Smile

Pastamancer · 13/02/2016 16:59

You are getting closer Imps, the rate you are going you are bound to have a sticky one. Brooking so hard for you that it is this one.
