I almost put this in arts and crafts, seeing as how we talk about crochet as much as we talk about babies!

Sorry about the scare maybe, but so glad everything’s ok with the 2 little ones! It’s such a horrible time isn’t it - all the worrying. I must say my epu were absolutely amazing when I was there last month. I’ve never in my life been treated so sensitively.

Hope af turns up for you soon imps! How old is J now? The time goes so quickly!

So I left a message with the gp at 8:30am and apparently someone will call me back Hmm

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2018 21:50

Thanks lovely Dancer I'm so sorry you ended up in the EPU. It's a tough place to be. I'm so pleased they treated you so well Flowers did the GP come back in the end?

DancerOnIce · 13/02/2018 21:38

Still no word from the gp! Not really surprised. I’ll try calling again tomorrow. Hope you’re doing well and the spotting has stopped now

Imps9 · 17/02/2018 12:47

How is the spotting Maybe?

Did you get anywhere with the GP, Dancer?

J is nearly 16 months. Nice not to have had AF for so long, but I could do with getting her back. J is a big fan of the boobb still though, so it might be a while longer yet.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 17/02/2018 20:00

Hope you managed to speak to someone Dancer

Imps, no way is J 16 months Shock A was an absolute boob monster too. Though sods law had it that my periods came back bang on 8 weeks.

Spotting has disappeared for now. It likes to lull me into a false sense of security. But now I can't poo Blush

DancerOnIce · 18/02/2018 03:19

Wow nearly 16 months imps! That’s crazy!

F also liked the boob, but AF returned very quickly unfortunately. She’s actually back now after my mmc, so we can get on with ttc next month. Although it’s really heavy and I’m flooding with no warning which is a pain. Oh well, fingers crossed for next month!

Great news about the spotting maybe!

Apparently I should hear from the gp next week, as the one I need to speak to has been on holiday

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 18/02/2018 14:13

Yo Imps!! I was about to come in and say my AF came back at 8 months despite having a boob monster but Maybe wins at 8 weeks Shock hope she's back soon though so you can get to smacking that rat! Can't believe BB is 16 months, time flies

Dancer am I right in thinking you were a woodland creature before?! Hope you aren't waiting to long to speak to the doctor

Maybe fab news re spotting. The blasted bum bullets always make me constipated Blush when's the next scan?

I'm on day 9 of buserelin and feel crappy. It's awful stuff, I'm so tired and grumpy. Just wishing the next few weeks away

DancerOnIce · 21/02/2018 15:08

Hope you’re feeling better soon cups Flowers

So I phoned the gp AGAIN today. The receptionist said the gp wants a telephone appointment with me - which she can do in 3 weeks time - and on her notes it says it’s too early for testing. Great.

Hope everyone else is doing well

NoMaybeAboutIt · 21/02/2018 15:36

Oh Dancer what a pain in the arse!! Maybe look into clinics now, if you wanted to speed the process up a little?

I'm sorry you're having a rough time Cups*. Buserilin is shitty. You just have no control over how you're feeling. Are you looking after yourself?

Scan is next wednesday. I feel so very anxious about it all, keep worrying I will lose one/both of them. But the good news Is, I'm pooing again Grin

I've also got a massive bump already, I'm only 9+3 Blush

DancerOnIce · 21/02/2018 17:17

Ooh good news about the pooing Grin Waiting for scans is horrible... it’s such an anxious time. Make sure you come back and give us scan news on Wednesday. Also, we’re going to need bump updates!

DancerOnIce · 27/02/2018 18:19

Let us know how you get on tomorrow Maybe! Hope everyone else is doing well

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 27/02/2018 20:20

Brooking for great scan results tomorrow Maybe SmileSmileSmileSmile

I'm ok, on day 2 of prognova and hoping for transfer on day 17 so on the home stretch now.

We have lots of snow here, driving is not fun!

DancerOnIce · 27/02/2018 22:27

Best of luck cups! So only a couple of weeks to go? The worst thing for me about ttc is all the waiting. Time seems to stand still!
Careful in the snow! We had hardly any as usual!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/02/2018 19:39

Thanks Dancer, yep about 2 weeks to go. I know what you mean, the waiting is the pits. Have you thought anymore about your next steps?

Maybe how are you lovely? I really hope the scan went ok x

DancerOnIce · 01/03/2018 18:43

I’m not really sure what to do next. I wish there was some kind of magic medicine or something! It’s so difficult to think about travelling to a fertility clinic for appointments on top of childcare and work

How are you feeling?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/03/2018 22:01

Evening everyone! How are you all doing?

What plan of action did you decide on Dancer?

How's the DR going Cups? When do you start the oestrogen?

Imps how are you? Any sign of AF returning?

Somehow I'm 12 weeks on sunday. A couple of trips now to the epu because of spotting, but all is well in there. 12 week scan is next Thursday. Hoping I may allow myself to relax a little then.....

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/03/2018 06:58

Maybe! So glad all is ok at the minute. Was just checking in for any news from you Smile

Dancer I won't lie it's not easy juggling the appointments etc with a toddler Confused

Ive been on the oestrogen for nearly 2 weeks. Transfer is Wednesday so am back on the dreaded bum bullets.

We are at Center Parcs this weekend and my monkey has been up since 5am, I'm desperately trying to keep him quiet but it's not happening!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 10/03/2018 07:45

Oh wow Cups, I can't believe it's time already! How are you feeling about it? Centre parks sounds fun! 5am, not so much Wink

I don't think they do quiet, I've tried finding a volume switch, but to no avail Grin

DancerOnIce · 10/03/2018 20:35

Ooh I love centre parcs! 5am not so much. F was awake at 5:30am today too. She’s worn out now though so hopefully I’ll get a lay in for mother’s day (7am I’d consider a lay in!)

Maybe I’m so happy to hear all is going well! Can’t believe you’re 12weeks already! Let us know how the scan goes on Thursday.

Nothing’s changed with me. Still ttc and in the 2ww. I have the telephone appointment with the gp on Thursday, so once she tells me I can’t have fertility tests yet (🙄) I’ll look at my options

NoMaybeAboutIt · 13/03/2018 22:02

Cups wishing you all the luck in the world for transfer tomorrow. Will be thinking of you xxx

Hope all goes well for Thursday's appointment Dancer

DancerOnIce · 14/03/2018 19:30

Good luck for tomorrow Maybe and Cups!!

My appointment with the GP was actually today. Don’t know why I said Thursday! As expected she said there was no real point in fertility testing, but offered to send DH for a test on his swimmers so he said he’d do that. So that was this morning, and then tonight...

DancerOnIce · 14/03/2018 19:33

I don’t know what to think really. I’ll do another in the morning with FMU

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 14/03/2018 19:48

Wow Dancer!!!! That most definitely looks like a BFP to me Shock what made you test? Eeek! Looking forward to tomorrow's pee stick update Smile

Maybe brooking for excellent scan news tomorrow for you. Hope all is going ok x

Yeah transfer was this afternoon, it was painful. The doc says he struggled to get past my c section scar which is weird as it was fine at transfer in November. Anyway after a lot of faffing my lovely embryo was put back. It defrosted fine and I've still got 3 in the freezer. Now I'm PUPO and here starts the dreaded 2 week wait.....

DancerOnIce · 14/03/2018 19:54

Oh wow so exciting Cups!! I have EVERYTHING crossed for you! You deserve this so much. Sorry to hear it was painful - I hope you’re not in too much discomfort now.

AF was due tomorrow so thought I’d test tonight, it would be negative, and I could put it all out of my head for another month. I’m not sure what to think now. I still feel very much like AF is on the way. I’m scared to get my hopes up
