Thread for anyone TTC for over ten months. Please feel free to join us!

Took the liberty of starting a new thread (with what is obviously a brilliant piece of rhyme!) as I assume everyone else is sleeping peacefully right now :)

Lots of hugs from me too Lucie xx

loopylou1984 · 18/05/2016 20:19

Star it really does! Lol.

Lucie - I'm sorry you're struggling. I never even knew this was possible, and now it's happened to two of our own. Keeping everything crossed that the numbers are going down.

Thanks everyone. I am so happy for my cousin... But the jealousy is winning out and I've blocked their fbook announcement.

Trixie - how come you were awake for EC?

Itsme - do you know how many dpo you are?

Waves to all! Xx

Itsme247 · 18/05/2016 20:28

16? dpo, had my scan on the Saturday and saw my follicle ready to go for this month and he said was maybe 1-2 days away and to go home an get busy just in case. Its just really messed up my 3 day bloods, if I come on tomorrow I got to get the bloods done on Friday cos it can't wait til Monday, which means it's not really day three bloods is it!! Eek.

maplebaby · 18/05/2016 20:30

Sammy congrats to your cousin but know how you feel Sad I've had to block some people on FB, one girl who constantly uploads baby photos with 10 million hashtags. Eugh. Had to also block a friend who had this notification/app thing that was about each week of their pregnancy "my baby's progress: week 32" etc etc EVERY WEEK. I just couldn't take it.

More hugs coming your way lucie I hope the results surprise you and show levels decreasing.

Itsme I'm the same about poas. I have a couple in the drawer but not even going to bother - realised its actually day 6 of spotting today too - longest has been 7. Def going to ask about it when I see the nurse when I get my letter.

Trixie glad you don't feel too bad! Fingers crossed for the next coming days!

Brenna24 · 18/05/2016 20:37

Sammy just do whatever it takes to keep sane.

Lucie I really hope your levels are down. It really is insult to injury. I count myself lucky that I am at least good at miscarrying.

JustTrixie · 18/05/2016 20:49

I just had a mild sedative Sammy. I was a bit Confused but as I wasn't knocked out it meant DH could come in with me which was brilliant. Definitely preferred it as recovery was much quicker afterwards.

I have a friend who does that with the hash tags too Maple, don't get it!

BorisIsBack · 18/05/2016 21:07

Oh lucie I'm so sorry lovely. Flowers xxx

beanhunter · 18/05/2016 22:20

Lucie - I'm so sorry that you are still going through this.

Itsme - fingers crossed. Are you going to POAS?

Trixie - glad yore not too sore

Sammy - right there with you. I don't know if genuinely all my friends are pregnant or whether it just feels like it because I so desperately want to be. I really do not like the person infertility has made me.

stealthbanana · 18/05/2016 23:04

lucie so sorry this is still dragging on.

trixie impressed by not being knocked out for EC - that's well ard! Great egg haul too, they'll be blasts in no time.

at everyone else, sorry am on phone and can't scroll back.

Itsme247 · 19/05/2016 08:12

Sorry for swearing but fuck I've started to believe this might actually be it! no sign of it this morning but cramps on and off yesterday.

I hate doing this, I hate it hate it hate it. I'm going to be gutted if this isn't it. Havnt been this late for three years since just came off the pill. 31days.

Guys just help me out, it was a 15.8mm folly on the sat morning. Didn't do an ov test but the consultant reckoned I would pop on the Monday. Does that sound about right or too early to ov?

beanhunter · 19/05/2016 08:14

Its me I don't know enough except that follies grow 2mm per day. It's so hard not to hope isn't it? Will you test?

The cycle before I had to go on the pill before starting IVF I had a 42 day cycle. I wasted a lot of money on pregnancy tests!

Itsme247 · 19/05/2016 08:15

I literally get my IVF meds delivered TOMORROW.

If I buy a test I should wait til tomorrow morning right? first morning wee and all that

beanhunter · 19/05/2016 08:16

If your past you due on date any wee should be fine. But hold it for a few hours first.

Itsme247 · 19/05/2016 08:19

I'll do a test today at work.

I can then get on with it if it's negative, and I won't sit at home bawling my eyes out.

I'm wfh tomorrow anyway so can wallow in self pity then.

Brenna24 · 19/05/2016 08:26

Don't drink much then your wee will be more concentrated.

Itsme247 · 19/05/2016 08:30

Thanks for being there right now, I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have this thread.

I'll let you know when I know.

I do feel like I'm going to come on any second so I am trying to be realistic but now I'm full on down the 'could this be it' river.

BorisIsBack · 19/05/2016 08:32

Itsme, good luck for later. Everything crossed for you that you have a last minute miracle. My cycle pre ivf was a head messing 14 days. I hope yours is a much happier head mess! I think the symptoms you describe coukd as easily be pre AF as implantation.

Brenna24 · 19/05/2016 08:33

Everything crossed for you here.

Everything crossed itsme x

Thanks everyone, the results weren't available last night they said they would me this morning but i couldn't take the waiting anymore so I ring them. The woman who I normally speak to and who tells me what to do next isn't available until this afternoon so I wouldn't have heard anything this morning. I asked to be told the results anyway and I think it's fairly good news. On my last test before I had the injection the levels had gone up to 285 and now yesterday they were 236. I think I read somewhere that they look for at least a 15% decrease on the first reading but that it takes the injection a few days to start working so my levels could have gone up a bit above 285 before they started dropping so they have gone down a good 20%. I would have thought they would be happy with that for now and probably go back again in a weeks time for more bloods. The other nurse will call me this afternoon to confirm what to do.

Itsme, keeping everything crossed for your test! Will be checking back to see how you got on.

Brenna24 · 19/05/2016 10:53

That sounds promising Lucie. I am very relieved for you.

Any news Itsme?

This morning DDog did his first proper poo since Saturday. This is as exciting as my life gets. I still can't get him to take his tablets though. He has had none since Sunday. I don't know how to get him to stop spitting out everything that might have them in.

beanhunter · 19/05/2016 11:57

Fingers crossed itsme

Glad levels have gone down lucie xx

maplebaby · 19/05/2016 12:02

Phew to the levels going down Lucie and hope they continue to do so!

Brenna* glad ddog managed a normal poop! What tablets is he on??
