TTC for 10 months or more, and now we're moving onto thread 4! Ten plussers welcome!

[MPP81]

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 :)

Hooray for AF sammy!

Banana that's brilliant!! Hope you are feeling alright!

Thanks ladies! Honestly I feel fine, I feel very well in myself. I felt bloody awful on Weds, queasy and achey as hell and so so ready to get the blimmin eggs OUTTA me! But sooo much better now - I'm obvs still bloated, but less so than I was, and much less uncomfortably so. So fingers crossed no sign of hyperstimulation despite a rather sizeable haul.

BTW, the anaesthetist saw the amazing socks from bean and said how cool they were

lucie agree completely with everything that's already been said - although they handled it appallingly, the outcome is great, now you have a chromosomally normal blast (and ha!!! to 'my secret sauce is the only protocol that works everyone else doesn't know what they're doing' Dr Sher!) and that you get a free cycle with genetic testing. The testing will potentially save you the financial and emotional strain of a failed FET, and how wonderful to know you have good goers in the bank

sammy hurrah for AF! So pleased you're able to get going

trixie thinking of you - hope you can plan some nice bank holiday weekend things to keep yourself suitably distracted

Mpp congratu-bloody-lations!

bean ALL the hugs

Hope you all have lovely bank holiday weekends xx

Thanks everyone! Never been so pleased to get AF! Lol.

Star - we're doing fresh which I'm completely terrified about, it's our NHS round. Due to start the pill tomorrow morning until the 16th June then baseline scan booked for 21st June and fx start stabbing from then! EC is pencilled in for 4th July.

Banana - imsi glad you're ok :).
When is your next update call? Xx

I've just taken my first microgynon... It's very strange being back on a birth control pill when all I want is a baby! Xx

mpp is today the day?! Congratulations Mrs!!!

Banana - amazing news!

Trixie hope you are doing ok.

lucie I'm glad the Czech clinic are being kind to you. I went cold all over when I thought about them making mistakes with embryos

Sammy so pleased this cycle has started for you!

Bean - lots of love to you.

Star thanks I'm doing ok, just come off the progrsterone pills. The Czech clinic kept me on them for longer than most and don't taper them off as much so the withdrawal symptoms have been a bit crappy. other than that i think it's all ok.

Happy wedding mpp! 👰💍💐🎂❤️💕🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

Hi Star! I'm holding up ok. Urge to test is getting stronger but equally very very scared. Can't even bring myself to dig out the sticks let alone actually do one!

Trying to keep busy and manage to forget about it at times but then I'll start obsessing. Haven't been sleeping very well so have been feeling tired and have been in a right grump this evening...not long to go now.

Great to hear that all is well with you Boris.

Trixie, good luck for testing tomorrow

MPP, huge congrats! Hope you had an amazing wedding.

Hello! Can I join you please? Ttc almost a year now and symptoms this month driving me crazy!

Me too please. Been lurking for a while and wanted to say hi. Ttc #1, cycle 13. Never so much a sniff of a positive. Slight MFI (some months terrible counts, some months borderline). I'm waiting for a laparoscopy to investigate my tubes (then maybe IVF if we need to) but otherwise tests have been fairly normal. Irregular periods (24-28 days, spotting for 5 days or so before I start). Supplement OD-er. I OPK but don't temp. Husband wants me to relax, can't obviously. Starting to feel hopeless as this month it's our year anniversary ttc. That's one anniversary noone wants to celebrate. Hi everyone!

Glad you feel alright banana! When do you hear next?

Sammy hooray for being able to start the pill (weird saying that!) hope 21st comes round quickly for you!

MPP congratulations and hope you had an amazing day yesterday!!

Trixie good luck for tomorrow!

Welcome Molly and gee - sorry you find yourselves here.

Have you had any tests yet Molly?

Gee same here, never had a bfp and I spot before AF - this cycle was 8 days spotting!! All tests normal so I'm in the unexplained camp. Any idea when you might get your lap? I don't opk but started temping just recently.

AFM the nurses never called me back on Friday I left a vm, hopefully hear back on Tuesday.

Thanks! Hi all! Nothing more than the usual swabs/bloods/ultrasounds...recently changed doctors and she suspects endometriosis so heading back next month after yet another ultrasound to see what happens next.

Ten days until AF is due and already feeling bloated and grumpy...not looking forward to this one!

Thanks Lucie and Maple. I have managed to dig out the frer ready for the morning.
I'm actually tempted to just bury my head in the sand and wait for AF/OTD but don't want to test on a work day or have AF rock up at work. Plus if it is positive I need to organise another intralipid...

Hope the OHSS is staying away Banana.

Welcome to the thread Molly and Geeup.

Hi maple maybe Aug but guessing more likely Sep for lap and dye. No date yet. Depends if anyone cancels on the list I guess. I had an appendectomy a few years ago so they're going to see if any of the scarring is causing a problem and hopefully see if anything else is blocking things up in there. Last scan showed a couple of fibroids but not in my uterus so they said shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully they can check those while they're in too. Unexplained is so infuriating isn't it. Had my parents over today and they were saying they're not doing much socialising these days as all their friends spend all their time with their grandkids and I was feeling v . They didn't mean to make me feel bad at all but sometimes it just slips out doesn't it.
I'm considering not opking for the first time in a year this month and just Dtd every other day to try that. Last month we did it every single day for 2 weeks and it didn't work so not trying that again!! Exhausting!

BFN

Oh Trixie !! :(

I am so sorry for you :( this is so difficult I know :( be kind to yourself xxx

Oh Trixie, I'm so sorry. Xx

Welcome to the newbies - geeup that comment from your parents = ouch! I'm sure they didn't mean to upset you but still for you.

MPP hope you had a fantastic day, enjoy your honeymoon!!!

Waves to everyone, and banana hope you're ok. Xx

Oh Trixie I'm so sorry I really thought this was it this time. It's so so hard. I really can't believe it x

Thanks ladies.

I did too Lucie. Everything went so well, full on immune treatment, perfect blast, acupuncture and still no BFP. Feels so hopeless. I guess maybe it wasn't such a perfect blast or there is something else wrong. We are trying to look on the bright side though, we have our frosties and a funded FET which we shouldn't have to wait long for.

Yes you definitely have lots to be positive about with 9 frosties altogether. Maybe it was just unlucky and you fixed the problem with immunes but got a dud embryo. Hope you can get going again soon and next time will be the one. Do you know what grade your frosties are?

I know that we have one 5BB and three 4ABs from this cycle. I don't know about the ones from last year, they just said they were all good.

They all sound good. It would have been good if you could have done the genetic testing to find a normal one as would have given you a bit more info especially if it failed again.

I know, we might contact our clinic and ask about getting our frosties there tested as it would be good to know how many are normal. I think we are going to transfer 2 for our NHS FET.
