Ooh you're quick - I was just about to start a thread!

ValidUser · 21/05/2019 20:17

@PaintingOwls I'm a speedy woman!

My stats: 29, cycle (about) 12.
Recent salpingectomy, remaining tube functioning. On injectable ovarian stimulation to get an egg from the good side and if I'm not pregnant in 3 cycles, it's IVF time!

1990shopefulftm · 21/05/2019 20:28

My stats: 24, day 1 of cycle 2.
Ordered some very cheap early sensitive pregnancy tests for this cycle today because i m not sure i'll stay patient enough to wait till when i did this cycle.

@ValidUser
Fingers crossed the injectables work for you, that can't be pleasant having to inject yourself.

MrsEG · 21/05/2019 20:35

Thanks for tagging me :)

My stats are too depressing to write down haha! Currently just looking forward to seeing all you lovely ladies getting your BFPs 🤞🏻

ValidUser · 21/05/2019 20:35

@1990shopefulftm it's ok. I'm a doctor so I know my way around a needle. And it's fun to pretend I'm shooting up. 😂

Thanks @ValidUser
Well do I start at cycle 1 again or where I left off?!

ValidUser · 21/05/2019 20:38

@MrsH497 totally up to you. It's a tough one. X

Thanks for new thread @ValidUser! Can't believe we went through the last thread in just over 10 days!

My stats:
28, CD4 of cycle 7. MC in March

@purplefig made some Massaman curry with jasmine rice - really enjoyed it!
Makes sense that you've accepted it for this cycle! No disappointment but a lovely surprise if it does happen.

@Lozzlepop ahh how lovely! I love coming home from work and finding dinner ready on the table - I love DH's cooking!
Ooh I need to start doing that for our holiday. Find some safari chic 😂 I have a problem with overpacking though..

@Validuser I think you've a brilliant positive attitude to needles then.

@PaintingOwls I found i had horrendous caffeine withdrawal for about a week but after that it gets easier. I'm still having normal tea at work so colleagues don't suspect anything and one cup somedays can't be that harmful.

@LokiCat it doesn’t happen often as we commute in together but he was working from home today so was a nice surprise when I got in 👌🏻 Just pack lots of thin items 😂

Ooh new thread!! Exciting :)

Evening all - just back from the gym and feel seriously sleepy!

@PaintingOwls - so sorry for prompting the caffeine withdrawal (and associated symptoms!) I promise you’ll feel great for it soon!

@LokiCat - Massaman curry is AMAZING!! So jealous, and thank you for your lovely message on the last thread. I can’t wait for Potter, and everything crossed it’ll be a magical weekend for other reasons!

Having a chilled out cycle this time as DH is currently away killing his sperm with obscene amounts of booze and my tsh is too high again so not looking likely this month.

Crossfitgirl · 21/05/2019 21:57

@validuser I'm good thanks, I've just had a right good essay rant on the pg thread about being told to cancel my crossfit membership at an NHS physio appointment because gentle yoga is the only thing I should be thinking about doing in my condition 😱 haha. What cycle are you on of the critical 3 before you go down the ivf route? Sending my love to your good tube 😊

orangeloo · 21/05/2019 22:01

Thanks for new thread @ValidUser can't believe how quick that went.

TTC #1

Planning to dtd tonight just incase and I'm flagging and seriously tired but I know if I don't give it all we've got I'll regret it.

ValidUser · 21/05/2019 22:05

@Crossfitgirl cycle 1 of the hormones. They're actually not bad at all.

(And the mind really does boggle. A fit mother is better equipped to push out a baby!)

Thanks for the new thread @ValidUser

I'm 31
Cycle 5

Either day 3 or 4 dpo. Night shift messes with checking temp!

So glad to be off night shifts, and no more for a month woop! Boobs felt a bit tender in bed this morning but I know this is far far too early for symptoms 😂😂. Also had an absolutely enormous amount of creamy CM today - not sure what that's all about! Got my annual appraisal coming up so trying to distract myself with that!

Anyone testing this week?

KatBeCool · 21/05/2019 22:54

@ValidUser thank you for the new thread! Is gonal the only thing you'll be doing, and the trigger shot? Or is there something post-ovulation? Like progesterone?
