Evening ladies, sorry for FPs all round, and general crappiness

Did you take it @LookingAtTheStars89???

LookingAtTheStars89 · 03/05/2018 23:21

@WonkyDonk87. Yes! I got myself so worked up I had a panic attack lol!

LexieJean · 04/05/2018 07:31

Oh no @looking don’t panic! I hope you’re feeling a bit calmer this morning? Well done for taking it- I never take medication generally either so the whole idea of ivf somewhat terrifies me (my mum had loads of allergic reactions to almost every drug they gave her after an op) but I’ve told myself my body can handle it. And yours can too. And it might work! 🤞💐

@si1ver how’s EC? Is today the day? May the 4th be with you?

I’ve just had a terrible nights sleep and night sweats. So I guess FP will arrive this weekend. Kinda bummed as really thought invoking the law of sod would help!

FairyAnn · 04/05/2018 08:10

Sorry for all the FPs ladies :( We just have to keep on swimming, I guess..

Bit of advice, I've had my first hospital appointment recently and am booked in for a swab, bloods and a hycosy - all should be done by end of May. Partner has his second SA in June, but I've just received another appointment letter for the gyny clinic at hospital for July.

Is this for a follow up appointment to get the referral to the fertility clinic? I was hoping to just skip that and go right to the clinic once the tests were done.

Si1ver · 04/05/2018 08:11

@LookingAtTheStars89 I'm so sorry you got so stressed about Clomid. Take it before you go to bed and you'll sleep through the worst of the side effects.

@Lexie no it's been put back to Monday. My follicles aren't quite there apparently. I had my first first to the clinic and despite a brisk and very efficient dildocamming I'm really happy with the choice. The staff are all lovely, the clinic is clean and professional.

It means that I get a couple of extra days holiday in as well. My lovely husband is taking me to a posh spa today to cheer me up. The weather is gorgeous and I'm starting to cope with the stims a bit better. My stomach is all brusied though Grin

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/05/2018 09:36

Morning ladies! I am calmer today, I am very hot and surprisingly tires. FP seems heavier than it was yesterday and more....gloopy/stringy so whether it's had an effect on that I'm not sure. The hotness is odd though, kind of like an internal sweating sensation lol.

@Si1ver I feel bad for getting worked up when I know what you are having to do! I said to DH that if we end up doing IVF next year that I had better get used to medication. He helped me calm down though, we sat planning our Disneyland Paris trip for my 30th next year Grin. I hope you enjoy your spa day.

@LexieJean. Yeah my Mum is the same and my Dad had a fit after the anaesthetic for his vasectomy! My mum had to have clomid to get pregnant with my brother. I kept saying to DH last night "I must be allergic to something and I just haven't found it yet" lol. My DH is allergic to peanuts - in an anaphylaxis kind of way Confused He has to carry a pen with him. It really freaks me out!

Miserablemouse · 04/05/2018 10:14

Oh Looking good luck with the Clomid! The side effects do not sound nice at all but hopefully it will get you that elusive BFP and all be worth it.

Silver glad DH is looking after you - nice relaxing few days before EC sounds just perfect. Keep us updated :)

Fairy no advice but I'm sure someone else can help!

Realised I miscounted days so when I thought I was testing stupidly early at 7dpo it was more like 5... Another BFN on a cheapy today at 10ish so counting myself out and off to enjoy wine tasting tonight!

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 12:24

Currently feeling like utter shit and wanted a moan. Thought I'd finally got my BFP yesterday, except it's gone blank today and cramps have come on in full force. Just slightly fed up of it all, now for another 2 month fucking cycle with probably nothing at the end of it

LexieJean · 04/05/2018 12:41

@fairyann we had a follow up at the gyne to discuss all the results and get the referral onto ivf. I’m not sure if you can go straight to the clinic without getting/discussing the results first.

@si1ver glad everything sounds good with your clinic and a few extra days hol sounds ideal. Lovely and relaxing for those eggs!

Not the best weekend to be feeling hot @looking, I hope it’s all ok as you continue the dose.

Oh @aph that sounds rubbish. Treat yourself this weekend 💐

FairyAnn · 04/05/2018 15:33

Makes sense @LexieJean, I'm just getting impatient ;)

Had my triple swab today. Not fun. Was also told that not only are hot baths bad for fertility (knew this already) but also spending too long in them is as well! Even an hour can make a difference apparently.

Kinda sad as I love baths

bridget33 · 04/05/2018 18:45

Sorry to hear that @Aph413 - I had two faint lines in July last year (they were coloured as well so don't think it was an evap line) when we weren't trying. The next day they disappeared. The gp thought it was a chemical pregnancy. It's so fucking annoying isn't it?! I haven't had a sniff of a line since and feel like I've accepted we're going to need extra help ie IVF. Anyways, am going to enjoy the bank holiday with bbq and booze! Have a good one everyone x

Spottyyellowdress · 04/05/2018 18:51

@aph413 I really, really hope it’ll all be fine and given a couple of days, that’ll be a strong pink line.

I’m throughly fed up tonight. My husband won’t accept that there might be anything wrong and just that it takes some people a while and that I’m stressing too much about it. Which is lovely but when the doctor has mentioned the word ‘infertility’ mulitiple times now and thinks it’s tine to start tests, then he needs to accept it and be on my side.

Rang over. Very much on the wine.

Spottyyellowdress · 04/05/2018 18:59

Rant...oh dear 🥂

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/05/2018 20:46

Ugh these tablets make you feel a bit vommy Envy

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/05/2018 20:54

And my nips are on fire!! Shock

WonkyDonk87 · 04/05/2018 21:50

Just read that in Kings of Leon singing Grin

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/05/2018 21:54

@WonkyDonk87. Ha ha! Yeah me too now Grin

LG93 · 04/05/2018 22:15

9dpo and tested this eve... There's a very very faint line for the first time ever! Fingers crossed it's a sticky one!

WonkyDonk87 · 04/05/2018 22:17

Ooh! @LG93 that's very exciting! Grin

Chooklass · 05/05/2018 07:32

Exciting @LG93 ! I'm still resisting urge to test (only dpo 9 ish). Loads of symptoms this month, but also been taking new supplements so trying not to read too much into it!

Chooklass · 05/05/2018 07:34

@Spottyyellowdress my DP is very chilled about it too, despite his poor SA and my pcos and endo!!! It's infuriating sometimes! X

Paranormalbouquet · 05/05/2018 07:40

Congested LG93!!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/05/2018 12:46

Clomid day three is sucking a bit. I have really crampy legs and arms and I'm nauseated with an odd taste in my mouth Sad

LexieJean · 05/05/2018 12:58

Sounds full on @looking are the side effects supposed to lessen as your body gets used to the drug?

Congrats @LG93!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/05/2018 13:19

@LexieJean I'm not sure. As long as it stays like this then it's ok. I'm taking at as a good sign that its doing something lol.

Congratulations@LG93
