The one where we all get and stay diffed, and we're brooking no argument about it

[BeedlesPineNeedles]

Yeah new thread

Good luck today beedle hope no more bleeding. I LOVE imps' comment 'you have a sensitive cervix beedle'....

trix hope the email gets some results, as you say it can't hurt

No more bleeding so it probably was my sensitive cervix. But mrb is coming with me to see the mw this morning, so hopefully she can do a quick scan first. We're both quite worried even though we know its highly unlikely to be anything wrong.

I'll try to post afterwards but I won't be back at my desk until lunchtime, so no guarantees - don't want you lot worrying too!

Thanks keep

Beedles DOES have a sensitive cervix - I know this as a medical fact

Glad no more bleeding - good luck with MW appt. Where is your bumpie?

But I never had a sensitive cervix before I was pregnant. It never complained about smears or ivf prodding. Perhaps its feeling unloved!

It's probably feeling more hormonal than usual Beedles

Look

Good luck this morning beedle, I'm glad there was no more bleeding. I hope the MW can give you and MrB oodles of reassurance and some lovely scan pics.

Have you spoken to Dh and your mum trix? It won't hurt to contact the clinic. FWIW, where I'm getting my intralipids done now charges the bargainous rate of £185 per infusion, inclusive of the medication! Apparently people travel to them from as far afield as Manchester because they're so reasonable.

Yay for no more blood beedles hope all goes well with the mw.

Which clinic is that geek? I was spending around 600 quid a month on all drugs,vits, scans and appointments luckily that was only for the first 4 months of pregnancy. But we just don't really have that much spare money now. We have some savings obviously but not a huge amount.
Dh is reluctant because of money and he doesn't have much leave left at work to take me to appointments, I don't drive.
I burst in to tears on my mum this morning and we had a bit of a chat, she said it got sorted last time and it will again. I need to remember though that we have N and some people sadly don't even get one.

This morning revealed more pink blood so feeling more like this is af.

All good

Just told my boss - he went bright red and said "oh my god". Feel a bit bad putting him on the spot like that but he was pleased for me.

Oh Beedles yay! Did you have a scan?

Red in a bad way imps?...

Yay beedle thanks for checking in. Ooh I'm so happy for you! Was this your booking appt and formal 12 week scan next week?

geek how are you doing?

trix is there any way your mum could help out with money/driving you?

Red in an immediate panic / embarrassed way! I am very close to my boss and we're good friends outside of work (indeed, that's how I got the job here!) so there is nothing untoward about his reaction.

i think we could get help with the money, mum can drive but doesn't have a car at the moment she got rid of it because she hates driving really. i have a gp appointment next week so i might lay it on a bit thick and see what i can i can persuade him to do.

do the bumps have nick names yet??

Back at my desk now!

trix glad you've got support from your mum. Its still very early for AF isn't it?

imps did he go red because he's just realised that you've been having sex :o

keep have you actually told your boss yet, I can't remember you saying you had!

This was just an appointment for normal bloods and wee test and NT bloods. She confirmed that we should get all the NT results at the scan next week. She did a scan and we saw the heartbeat and it bobbing around a bit. So a big relief. She did say that she's not supposed to do Scans if there's been bleeding but as it was just a Little and had completely stopped we pretended I just wanted some reasurance, which I got.

I don't see her again until after my 18 week scan which is booked for 15 june more . It seems a Little tempting fate to book the next scan Before we've had the NT scan but I just need some more PMA that Everything will be ok- for me and for all of you too.

Good idea Trix - can you see another GP who may be more inclined to help? Especially when you can update them that this is the most cycles it's taken to get diffed.

I was trying to tot up the cost of my drugs - £250 per intralipid infusion (so £1,000 in total), £5.10 per fragmin injection (I had around 60 in all) and £15 per box of cyclogest - can't remember how many of those I had. It all adds up, doesn't it?

Beedles I keep meaning to commend you (or rather your phone) on the random use of capitals in your posts these days. It just adds a certain extra something

Its my work computer imps but I Think it only does it here. Its actually not very random its usually the same Words: Little Before Word Think and a few others :o

And it annoyingly underlines almost every Word with the red lines to show I haven't spelt them right, so when I do spell something wrong its hard to spot!

glad she could reassure you with a quick scan beedles
it is early for af i usually have 28-30 day cycles so was expecting her over the weekend most likely monday. so like a week early!! or does spotting not count?
things seem to have gone back to brown spotting heavier than it has mostly been but still not what i would call more than spotting. this morning even my wee was pink so thought it was definately af.

imps just a few months ago though you were considering a 3 cycle icsi package! So in fact all that is a bargain.... I reckon we spent £4-5k on this cycle ibc scratch and drugs etc. That's on top of bringing back the frosties + 2 failed FETs so maybe another £5k. Lordy. Best not to tot it up

beedle won't you be more than 18wks then though...?

Oh I wasn't complaining or shocked Keep - far from it. I can't actually think of anything more important to spend money on (although of course it would be nice if none of us needed to). I was just interested more so than anything else.

Trix I don't ever count spotting as the start of AF, even if it's red. I count day 1 from the first day of a proper flow. Still brooking that it's implantation bleeding.

well done imps, that's the hard part out of the way now then. Wow at the cost of your drugs. I've never separated my drug costs out from my IVF costs, but I did tot those up a couple of weeks ago... terrifying! £18,000

trix it's the Midland Fertility Clinic, they are incredibly helpful so maybe just give them a ring and sound them out. Sorry your cycle isn't being particularly helpful this month

beedle soooo pleased this morning went well lovely. It's horrible to never feel you can put the worry behind you, but that sounds like a great result this morning. I hope MrB is feeling a little more reassured too.

All fine here, my gp called yesterday and has given me an NHS script for the clexane!!! She's also referred me for an early consultant appointment rather than waiting for a referral from the midwife, given my history. Tomorrow is the day I book my early scan. Can't shake this feeling of outright terror that making arrangements such as these is going to jinx things. Logically I know that that is complete bunkum, but I'm not exactly acting logically and rationally right now

I know full well how you feel re: jinxing things Geek. I have left everything to the last minute so far in case I'd jinx anything - but I haven't!!!! So neither will you.
