Thank you all, scan was fine. Ovaries were quiet and lining down to 2.3mm and still shredding... I could see it moving on my scan! The nurse wrote it down as 23mm to begin with. I told her that would have been an actual miracle for me!
Start suprecur tonight and menopur from tomorrow. I forgot about making up the menopur... It makes me feel like a pharmacist! Lol.

Banana - you'll have to report back on the instructions so we can all try it! Sounds very interesting though... And we've discussed castor oil packs before I seem to remember! Lol. Keeping everything crossed for a heavy AF for you. Is there some kind of AF dance? Like a rain dance but for individual people only?

MPP - everyone raves about the Czech clinic so I'm sure you'll be fine. You have all of us to ask questions to as well!

And by this I meant the massage.

Hi everyone,

Great to have you back MPP definitely worth going along to the NHS appointment. Exciting that you are planning your Czech cycle.

Aw, thanks ladies, you are all lovely. My pregnant friend knows all about our struggles, she was really hoping that this cycle would work for us.

I can't believe the difference in your PGS over the 2 cycles Banana, thank goodness you did it. Our Dr. at our follow up suggested PGS if we use up our 4 frosties from last cycle and still no BFP. I really thought we wouldn't have to do another fresh cycle (and FX we don't) but mentally preparing to go through another with PGS in the new year. I really hope AF arrives for you. I will join Sammy in an AF dance.

Also interested to hear how your massage goes!

Star, I think after a lot of deliberating we are going to go ahead with the scratch. I had a consultation with an immune specialist in January and cheekily e-mailed the clinic regarding the scratch and immunes and they came back saying most women at their clinic have the scratch with/without immune issues. I had a quick look at their success rates and they are pretty good.

Welcome to the thread Bellini

Hi Ispalts, hope your appointment goes well this week.

Glad AF arrived and the scan went well Sammy. Really hope everything goes smoothly for you this cycle.

Good luck for your scan next week Itsme.

Doing my best to keep busy before my next cycle Maple so hopefully time will go fast, and there is stuff happening (scratch, nurses appointment, delivery of meds) so it feels like progress is being made. Not long until your appointment now.

Brenna it definitely sounds like you needed a nap on Sunday after all of that. Brilliant that you helped raise that money ooh, where are you off to on holiday? DH and I decided to scrap our plans for a hol before our next cycle but have two long weekends away visiting family in Scotland and then Wales to look forward to.

Hope you're having a lovely holiday Lucie!

We are taking our first babies ashes to the family plot in Italy. Visiting all the relatives and having a couple of days in Rome and hopefully a day on the beach, then we are off to Romania for a friend's wedding. Fun all round.

Sorry Brenna I remember you saying about taking your babies ashes to the family plot now family time and a wedding sounds lovely.

Star I completely forgot to say good luck for testing and I hope AF stays well away. The last few days are so hard, definitely good to look at it as a three course treatment.

Don't apologise - I can't remember writing it . I have the memory of a goldfish.

Sorry in advance for me me me but feel like crying. Just got baby bombed by my friend - her wife is pregnant can't even bring myself to congratulate her but my whatsapp is going crazy.

hugs Maple. It is so hard. Hopefully some time soon you will be sending them similar news.

Maple, mute the group right now. If you can manage a quick congrats, do it then have a cry if you need and a nice big . It's so hard and unfair, but it will pass. So sorry

Glad the scan went well Sammy and best of luck for the next cycle.

Banana, fingers crossed for a good solid period.

Hey trixie, thinking of you. Well done on coming to a decision on the scratch. Might as well try it hey.

13dpo here and going a bit crazy. Symptomless and expecting period tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks both - honestly being on here is a lifesaver. Managed a congratulations but she had written how it worked first time and they had no conception issues etc. Eugh.

I have one friend who has been totally amazing. I told my mum and sister and how down I felt and they told me to "be good and congratulate them". I know it must be hard for them as they haven't been through it to really understand but can't help feeling hurt by their comments sometimes.

Sammy that's annoying you have to pay £60 again! But I guess better than not having it at all. So weird you could see the lining moving!! Glad it was ok otherwise.

Banana joking in with the AF dance for you!
Hope the Hycosy is ok and is all clear - I didn't find it bad at all.

Hoping AF stays away for you star!

Thanks Trixie! Hope time flies for you so you can get started too.

Brenna - that's a lovely idea. Your baby will always be with family.

Maple - sorry for the baby bomb, well done on the congratulations. It's so hard. I never really mean the congratulations now.
I assume that it was iui or home insemenation as its a same sex couple?
That's exactly how I feel re Accupuncture, I've got to see it through now otherwise the hundreds that I've already spent was for nothing. Xx

First injection done! Xx

Sammy I presume so but tbh I can't bear to ask what they did. I'm sure I'll find out some time though...

Yay to stabbing!

Yes, I expect they'll over share!

So my day has started with femoral artery massage, keeping my feet warm, pomegranate juice, selenium, folic acid and liquid iron! Doing everything I can to build up a good lining!

Eek Sammy I should be just behind you! At least we will be in tww together-ish!

I'm really struggling with all the unknowns regarding dates etc. I really just want to book things in and know when they are happening!!!

Have to go back for stimms injection training today (which I think is silly..) so hopefully will have my scan booked in for Saturday maybe.. I'll make a strong case for it!

Well done Sammy, throw everything at it!

Period turned up this morning right on cue. So starting Clomid round 2 tomorrow. Really hope I can be more chilled this time round. Im getting so sick of this.

Best of luck Sammy and Itsme

I popped in to see if there was any news, I'm so sorry Star it sucks good that you can get going again straight away. I've been looking at my last cycle with full immunes as a kind of practice run and although I still feel very sad that it didn't work it helps a little bit.

I really struggled with the not knowing re dates too Itsme I had dates for scans after my baseline I think but the first time my egg collection got brought forward from the Monday to the Friday and last time it got pushed back a day. It's hard but I remember reading somewhere that it's good to have a 'go with the flow' attitude so I tried my best (not always successfully!) to adopt that.

Sorry about the baby bomb Maple why do people have to announce that it worked first time?!

Good work Sammy!

Sorry Star.

Sorry Star :(

Good luck with all the preparations/stabbing Sammy and Itsme

Maple I feel your pain, I just got baby bombed on my university homepage - is nowhere safe?! One of my lecturers from last year (who was planning her wedding so presumably a honeymoon baby). Not at all completely bitter...!

Kill me now. Baby bombed at work - what the fuck!

P.S incase anyone thinks I was being self obsessed I saw stars news on another thread - star I wasn't ignoring you on this thread but just to say sorry again X

Hi ladies, just checking in. Nothing doing for me. Really thought this might have been the month as we'd been away on holds and had time for lots of BDing. AF was a few days late but turned up all the same - I didn't even do a test as I was scared to see another 'not pregnant'.

This is the last month before we try IVF. Would reeeeally like it to happen so here goes. CD3.

Itsme - the unknowns are hard. My DH doesn't get it. He got home yesterday and said 'so when will egg collection be?' I had to explain that having had my baseline scan made no difference to the fact that I can't be sure how I'll respond to stims!
How did your training go? Yay for a 2ww buddy!

Sorry for AF star, doesn't get any easier does it? And sorry for the baby bomb maple.

Mrsnucky - I'm not sure we've met? I hate when AF teases you like that. Fx for an ironidiff this month.

Thank you everyone for the stabbing well wishes! First stims stab tonight so two needles this time - YAY! Actually bit worried about mixing the no pour - it still shocks me that I'm responsible for this myself! Xx

Scan on Tuesday, and the mixing of the menopur is also very scary now!

Balled my eyes out when she talked about 'test date' and she seemed confused when I said that whenever I test, I get a period, so I'd rather not test at all!
