Imps I agree with Keep, those lines are looking very good indeed. Fingers crossed they keep getting darker as the week goes on!

Beedle fingers crossed this is your month too!

Imps9 · 15/02/2016 13:01

And your month too of course Loops.

keepitgoing · 15/02/2016 13:35

It's everbody's month!

keepitgoing · 15/02/2016 13:37

imps are you gonna phone BH? Is there anything they'd recommend? Do you want some progesterone?

Feel v sick today, think it's kip's bug not preggo sickness. Not that long till Friday now will it ever come

Imps9 · 15/02/2016 13:48

I'm using progesterone that I had left over from last IVF the one that leaves massive clumps of gunk up your fanjo Not sure what else BH would do - when I had my ectopic (before I knew that's what it was) they just advised to keep on with the progesterone and get an early scan referral from GP. I think that they only take control of pregnancies which result from their treatment, if you see what I mean.

I doubt that the GP would be that useful as I've had no investigations and no prescriptions for RMC.

Imps9 · 15/02/2016 13:48

Sorry you're feeling sick :(

BeedlesPineNeedles · 15/02/2016 13:52

I agree with keep phone BH imps and see if they will give you any of the nice drugs they were planning for your next ivf cycle.

I have my extra scan booked for Wed am, fingers crossed that whatever they want to look at is fine! Thye won't give me a time for ET until then but it will be friday after 2pm if it happens.

What time is your scan on Friday keep?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 15/02/2016 14:00

X-post that's a shame imps though I suppose I understand why they wouldn't want to get involved. But hopefully your GP could sort out an early scan to rule out Another ectopic. and maybe prescribe more progesterone. your ectopic is documented, even if not with them.

keepitgoing · 15/02/2016 14:06

Let me know if you need any more imps, I'd still phone them for advice, worth a shot. What's the earliest epau will scan for ectopic? In Thailand I had one at 5 weeks and you could see the yolk sac so see thongs were in the right place

0940 beedle so not too bad. They prob want to check egg has popped and lining is OK. Brooking for you

Imps9 · 15/02/2016 14:13

I am entitled to an early scan at 7 weeks on account of my ectopic - I can either self-refer or get referral from my GP.

I will definitely go and get a progesterone prescription when I run out - I would be surprised if a GP refused that. I still have quite a lot left from previous two treatments though. It does seem like a waste that they give so much prog at the start of a treatment when you don't know whether it will work or not.

If I am still pregnant at 6 weeks I will self-refer for an early scan and go for more prog if I've run out. I will be beyond shocked if I get that far, but you never know do you.

Imps9 · 15/02/2016 14:14

Ps Keep did you often have problems getting your thongs in the wrong place? Grin

BeedlesPineNeedles · 15/02/2016 14:25

I'd have thought for a dildocam it would be a good idea to remove your Thong :o

Good that you won't have to wait all day for the scan keep

BeedlesPineNeedles · 15/02/2016 14:27

imps I know what you mean about being beyond shocked if you get to 6 weeks

keepitgoing · 15/02/2016 14:37

Yes, maybe I should remove my thongs...

I only have drugs up to week 7, if it works apparently some gps will prescribe progesterone and clexane, others won't. I wouldn't mind but this new progesterone is £5 a day! meaning I'm sure nhs will say no

keepitgoing · 16/02/2016 07:24
keepitgoing · 16/02/2016 07:26

I meant to say loopy that's much easier you not needing multiple scans this month esp with your clinic being so far away. Brooking all these drugs will do the trick

Imps9 · 16/02/2016 07:58

Good morning class.

So here, we can clearly see a line on the peestick at the bottom of this photo, peed on today (12DPO) using FMU. Yesterday's peestick is at the top, as you will note.

Don't stop us now! We're having such a good time, we're having a ball and BROOKING NO ARGUMENT!
Imps9 · 16/02/2016 08:00

If we turn our attention now to the Superdrug tests. Today's peestick again appears at the bottom of the photo. There is not much difference in the darkness of the line when compared to yesterday. There are plenty of hypotheses as to why this might be, but no one can be certain. More research is needed.

Don't stop us now! We're having such a good time, we're having a ball and BROOKING NO ARGUMENT!
Imps9 · 16/02/2016 08:02

Ah the digital test, a favourite of scientists everywhere. There can be no question as to the results given here. It is not clear however what HCG levels are used for each period of gestation. Dr Google will inevitably be able to explain this in more detail (why don't they put it on the info leaflets?)

Don't stop us now! We're having such a good time, we're having a ball and BROOKING NO ARGUMENT!
Imps9 · 16/02/2016 08:03

So as we can see, progress is being made in the field of peestick understanding, but there is more work to be done and more funding is needed.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 16/02/2016 08:19

Fuck me Imps, you got a BFP on a clearblue digital at 12 dpo?!?!?! You really are very pregnant Grin didn't think they gave a BFP that early unless it's twins in there?!! And they super drug test today is definitely darker! So excited and looking forward to the continuing research lol

keepitgoing · 16/02/2016 08:29

Grin it's def darker! ICs are clearly shite. Nice one nice one nice one
You'll spend all your ivf money on tests instead!...

Pastamancer · 16/02/2016 08:39

We need someone to set up a crowdfunding page to fund the peesticks required for Imps' research

Imps9 · 16/02/2016 09:04

Yes Pasta that is a great idea. It's very important for people to give me money so I can buy peesticks.

Yes, a good start all things considered. Would be nice if it stayed that way but I'm not stressing about anything, I'm just feeling prepared.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 16/02/2016 09:06

looking god with those peesicks imps I Think you can find the hcg levels for cb digitals online somewhere, I'm sure I've looked it up myself Blush purely for scientific interest of course

what progesterone are you on this time that's so expensive keep? mine cost about £20 for a weeks worth (I Think its 300mg per day). i don't normally Think about the cost as I just pay the maximum yearly cost in one go and get everything
