TTC for 10 months and the rest! 10 plussers welcome! Thread 3 (the one where we all get our bfps!)

[lucieloos]

New thread ready for us chatty ladies! If you have been trying to conceive for over 10 months pop in and join us. We are a friendly bunch!

Ahh banana, hope everything goes ok for you. Im impressed you've got to move on from dildocam! Good luck.

Banana - good luck for your lovely non invasive scan tomorrow.... Don't go accidentally whipping your knickers off and sticking your legs in stirrups will you?!

Boris - I wondered if it could be the progesterone. Seems far more likely than implantation. Xx

The cramping I get is primarily after I've taken the morning pills, which makes me think it's the tablets.... I've had some other cramping, and when I first took the progesterone I also got quite dizzy. I can't beingmyself to think it's anything else!

*Bring.

Arghhh I can't wait for you both to test!

Boris - are you taking progesterone pills too?
I've only got the pessaries.
Mine seems to be on and off all day. Xx

By pills I meant pessaries. I'm trying not to think too much about having to stuff them into my foof and then lie down for half an hour. Pills makes them seem more civalised.

Haha! Xx

I call them messaries!

(And fanjo bullets. Which is slightly less delicate)

Fanjo bullets is good.

My current survival tactic is minimise it all. If I switch to humour there is plenty of potential.

Ah I can't wait for you both to test!

And conversely I can so so wait to become acquainted with fanjo bullets!

I've heard them called fanny candles before too... I think it's the waxy residue that gave them that name! Xx

Ohhhh I'm nervous!

Lucie, I'm excited for you. Good luck to you and your embies.

Stealth - hope you are ok too, everything still crossed for you.

Good luck Lucie! Xx

Good luck lucie for two beautiful embryos and some lovely plump lining - we're all thinking of you

Hope you're feeling a bit less awful stealth

to everyone else

Good luck lucie!

And good luck for your scan and tests today banana!

I've had the call. It's not great news really. We have one 8 cell which is good with minimal fragmentation but the other one didn't make it and is still only a 2 cell. Feeling really disappointed. I think my eggs have had it. She wants me to go in at 2.30pm to transfer the 8 cell. I said about my lining being really thin at EC and she said she had spoken to the doctor about that and he had said he had given me some tablets to help so they will just go ahead now. I said uhhh noooo if the lining isn't thick enough I would rather try and grow to blast and freeze. She said there is a chance that it won't make it to blast but I said I would rather take my chances with that. She's told me to come in at 2.30 anyway and have a chat to the doctor about it and we can take it from there. I'm just feeling really deflated. I know the 8 cell is a good one but it just seems like it's getting worse each time now. The chances of success with one day 3 embryo are pretty low.

Oh lucie. Big hug to you. I hope you can have a proper chat to the doctor about your best options and chances. Don't give up on your eggs yet, the 8 cell one of good.

Oh lucie. An 8 cell day 3er good. Will they scan you to have another look at your lining at 230? Sounds like you need that information to make a decision about what to do. I wouldn't jump to read too much into this round not being quite as successful, I imagine there is always some variance and luck, and you have had a stellar run so far. But big hugs and stay calm, good luck with whatever you decide today xxx

Hey Lucie, so sorry it's not better news this morning. I agree with Boris, don't give up hope as there's still chance. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing making the point about your lining. You don't need to go forward with the transfer if you're not happy and it's worth going this afternoon to discuss with the Dr. I don't think you're eggs have had it - you have low amh and a low haul but this is just one disappointing round (which isn't over yet) and the overall signs so far all point to your egg quality being pretty damn good.
I can imagine how deflating it must feel but it's definitely not over. Good luck for your 2:30 appointment - fingers crossed your lining has made it to a good thickness.
Big hugs

I've been a bit absent the last few days, but stI'll religiously stalking and didn't want to read and run. Lucie, I don't know much about cells and such as yet, but I'm sorry you're disappointed. I'm hoping that your appointment today goes well, and that your lining is what it needs to be. I would say though, don't feel pressured into going ahead if you don't want to. Do what feels right for you. Huge hugs, and thinking of you.

Good luck for your scan today, Banana!

Also, fx for you both, Sammy and Boris! I've been giggling at fanjo bullets and fanny candles! Not looking forward to that part of the process, judging by what you both are saying!

Thanks everyone you are all amazing! I'm worried what with it being on the NHS that they are basically going to tell me what to do which is have the transfer regardless of the thickness of the lining. I guess it costs them more to grow to blast and then freeze and then provide me with more drugs for a frozen transfer. I just pray that my lining is thick enough and we aren't going to have to worry about this as well. I hope it's not at an inbetween stage of between 7-8mm as I would rather not go ahead with that at that thickness but will probably have a battle on my hands. I'm just so tired of all this. It just seems like one disappointment after another.

Mpp don't be put off, firstly like laboir, it'll all be forgotten when you get your baby. Secondly we can pass on loads of wisdom that should make it easier for you :) keep the faith :)

Baby has died. Measured 9 weeks 3 days.
