Coggy's Catch Up........

803 replies

coggy · 12/01/2007 19:38

It seems FOREVER ago that I was properly on MN and obssessively ttc!
Only 2 1/2 months ago but alot has happened in that time I expect (no.....sadly no bfp from me yet!!!)
I guess that Debbsy has had her Bibsy and maybe Peachy too......BooBoo next month.....lots of other BFPs??????
Natty, MrsMc and Trace have kept me with some of the news on here.

Here's a quick catch-up with me and what is happening.....
I am CD25 of a usual 26/27 day cycle with all the classic AF signs.....cramps, tiredness, wind etc. etc. (It's nice to be back!! )
I am starting IUI this next cycle so I am only a couple of days away from that and VERY excited and VERY nervous about jabbing myself too!
I figured as well as catching up with my old ttc buddies I could also moan and groan merrily away about it all on this thread and (hopefully) get a little bit of (much needed) sympathy at the same time!!!

I am SUCH a wimp really!!!!
Roll on CD1......

Well....slightly disappointing because my follicles are not big enough yet to do the IUI this week.
I've got to go back for another scan on Thursday and a re-think.....possibly IUI on Monday.

Things are going in the right direction.....just a little slower than expected!
I would actually have been surprised if I was ready today as I usually don't ov until around CD18 and it's only CD9 today....but I was hoping that the drugs may have bought things forward.....

.....carrying on with the old twice daily jabs.....and no-one laughed at my stomach today which was nice of them!

Roll on Thursday morning...
...continue to watch this space!!!!!!

coggy, well thats good news that they are growing though....could have gone the other way and you could have over stimulated, or they could not have responded at all, this way they seem to be working with your natural body cycle which must be a good thing.....does that make you feel better?

i know, you know all this but you were geared up to do it this week huh

i found when i was taking the injections that if i got a pinch of skin and injected into it and let the injection out and then release the skin, it didnt hurt so much, everyones different though but give it a try

your doing really really well

I've been thinking about what you wrote all afternoon Bubbly......you are SO right.
I would have been gutted if I had over-stimulated and not been able to carry on.

Thank you again for making me feel better about it....I think I only saw the hassle of it all yesterday.

Booboobedoo · 22/02/2007 12:53

So you've got a another appointment today coggy?

I'm still really excited for you: you must be on permanent tenterhooks atm.

What you're doing is so positive. And I'm glad bubbly's coming to give you the benefit of her wisdom after all her experience. MN can be so great, can't it?

Looking forward to hearing what they had to say today, and hope you're not feeling too frustrated,

Less than 2 weeks to go now BooBoo......you'll have to cross your legs and wait to hear how my IUI has gone cos I think I will be testing around your due date!
IUI is going ahead on Monday and I am VERY excited!

2 decent follicles of 14.5mm and 13mm so I have to have the releasing jab on Saturday night and go in for the procedure on Monday..........whooohooooo!!! I can't believe that it's all finally happening!

Booboobedoo · 22/02/2007 19:33

Don't worry - I'm bound to go past my due date. It runs in the family . I shall be around to check up on you.

I'm so excited for you! Hooray for your unfeasibly large follicles!

Hope you have a lovely weekend. x

Thanks BooBoo.......I feel really sad for Natty.
After all the hassle of tests/ clomid etc. etc.

Hopefully I will have some good news before you pop!

pussycatmomma · 22/02/2007 21:50

hiya coggy..glad to hear all is going full steam ahead for you! I have posted on nattys thread.....bless her, hope she is ok.
I am sorry to hijack, but I think your thread is the only place I could share info about my sister - you lot are the only ones who know full story....
she tested today after her 5th lot of ivf treatment........bfn im sad to say.
She is gutted (understandably) . What is making it even worse this time is that my mum is particularly upset, more so than ever before, and there is nothing I can say to be a comfort to either one of them.
It is just so very hard to fathom out or to be able to reason with in your mind, when there doesnt seem to be any reason for it not to work.
Sorry to crash with sad news on a happy thread, just needed to let people know xx x

Booboobedoo · 22/02/2007 21:53

So sorry about your sister PCM. It must be so hard. I watched those Doctor Robert Winston progs about it and it gave such an insight.

bubbly1973 · 23/02/2007 08:51

coggy, you must be sooooo excited now!!

im glad i am of some help, not trying to put a downer on things but make the most of this week cos once insemination takes place the next two weeks will go ever so slowly so beaware, i think with all the injections scans appointments etc etc all of a sudden theres nothing going on for the next two weeks

in saying that though those two weeks will also be a mixture of excitement anxiety hope fear and daydreams....but hopefully it will be mostly excitement with a positive mind that this could be it

good luck and i will be thinking of you on monday

Debbsyandson · 23/02/2007 09:43

Juicylucytoo · 23/02/2007 09:59

Yeah, very excited about Monday Coggy. Everything crossed for you, would cross my legs, but can't manage that anymore

I forgot to ask about you sister yesterday PCM but came on this morning to find out her news......I'm sorry it wasn't a bfp for her again.
I guess she has to grieve each time at the loss of what could have been.....I know that for some months after my ds...the bfn or AF was like losing him a bit more again each time as I was so sure I would fall pg quickly again after.

I wouldn't worry too much about your Mum and sister being so sad.....I think they do need to go through that in order to accept it and then move on to the next step...whatever that may be.
I do feel horribly disappointed for them though...and you.
It must be really hard not being able to fully talk about your ttc without being aware of what your sister's going through as well.
Lots of (((((hugs)))) for you my friend.

DH is sick.
Will he be able to perform?!!
Will I catch it and be too ill for Monday????

Why is there always something to worry about???!!!!

OP posts:
bubbly1973 · 24/02/2007 09:10

how sick is sick, from my experience men are never too sick to perform

try not to worry about it, he will do it, dont forget he has seen you take these injections for the past couple of weeks and i doubt very much he would take this lieing down, he may not have told you but i suspect he has thought that he will do it even if it kills him! (not literally!)

and if your sick your sick, your eggs are fine, and i am guessing that even if you were on your death bed you would make it down there and do the insemination

i have heard of loads of people who have been ill like had colds, diarhoerra (sp?) on antibiotics etc etc and got pregnant

and remember, no point worrying about yesterday its gone, no point worrying about tomorrow, it hasnt happened, so enjoy today! then say the same thing tomorrow...its your mantra from now till testing day!

pussycatmomma · 24/02/2007 09:59

Coggy sweetie, i just wanted to say good luck for monday.........Will be thinkin of you , keeping everything crossed, and also keeping you in my prayers....
Go Coggy! Go Coggy! Go Coggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right of course Bubbly!
I would drag myself off my death bed to make it there on Monday!!!!

It'll be a walk in the park with all that cheerleading led by PCM!!!!!

Nasty, painful hcg jab at 9pm tonight....getting a nurse-friend to do it for me cos I am scared of the pain!!!
Then.......only two more days til Monday!
