@notyetamumbuttrying how are you feeling now? I got ill about 12 hours after my jab but my oh wasn't until about 36 hours

@Motherofkittens28 that's great news about your follicles and egg collection for Thursday (apart from your oh meeting) hope it all goes well!

@Annny27 definitely! Lol at hoping they all get their bfp

@sausageface I have all the numbers from my gp if you need me to check. Fsh should be between 3.5-12.5 Lh 2.4-12.6 oestrogen 114-332 in fp (day 2/3) so I'd have a chat with them and see what they say as your Lh seems low and oestriadol slightly high. Your progesterone would be low for day 21 but if you had it done on day 25 or 27 then it won't be accurate for mid Lp anyway so they may do that one again. It's funny actually as Lh is usually double or triple fsh if you pcos and yours is lower so not sure what that means!

polejunkie · 18/05/2021 17:06

Question for those who have down regged... did you ‘try’ ahead of day 21 meds? I’m in FW and don’t know whether I try like normal or if I don’t try ahead of IVF cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

notyetamumbuttrying · 18/05/2021 17:31

@polejunkie we still tried! We were told it was ok. I just tested early so that i could stop injecting. Bfn so carried on injecting and got my period as normal!

@Marvellouslymadmum we're both still fine, although my throats a bit sore. I wonder if it is a side effect, time will tell if I feel worse!

OK girls so it seems my life wants to throw a spanner in the works 🙈

To start taking the pill first day of my period
What do I get today after over 2 and a half years

A super squinter 🙈

I've been bleeding on and off today when I pee and wipe nothing worth talking about on pad had cramps earlier which I never ever get with time of the month

Rang docs and want me I to monitor hcg level in blood heart scared it's an early miscarriage do you think it could be an implantation bleed? I'm about 12/13 dpo I usually have 28day cycles but I've ovulate late this month and I'm on cycle day 31 now

Thoughts anyone? Tucked up in bed already as I've been ordered to rest 🤦‍♀️
Head just won't stop x

Sjhigs · 18/05/2021 18:38

*to start taking pill 1st day of period to start ivf process

polejunkie · 18/05/2021 18:57

Oh @Sjhigs what a curve ball!! Test again with FMU and see where you’re at - it’s not uncommon at all for early bleeding, so if you have a line then you have a line! Put up a pic if you like and test again tomorrow, it is crazy how nothing happens and then bam! These things are sent to try us x

Sjhigs · 18/05/2021 19:04

@polejunkiethis is my test from earlier I knew something wasn't right when I started getting cramps I never get them
This is just a test from my clearblue fertility monitor x

crazycatlady1981 · 18/05/2021 19:23

@polejunkie I think it depends on your clinic, we were told not to have unprotected sex while on buserelin so we’re not trying this month. Best to ask them and see what they say.

@Sjhigs it does look like something there! I would defo test again with fmu! Fingers crossed you’ve got a miracle BFP before ivf starts! 🤞🏻

polejunkie · 18/05/2021 19:27

Thanks @crazycatlady1981 my clinic haven’t told me anything - I’m still waiting to hear from them 😫

@Sjhigs deffo a line on there, cramps can be implantation - try not to stress and keep testing 🤞🏼

Sjhigs · 18/05/2021 19:28

@crazycatlady1981 the bleeding is dying off so only lasted for around 3/4 hours in bed trying to keep my feet warm with a thermometer hanging out my mouth I'm still not convinced we'll see what the next week brings xx

Sjhigs · 18/05/2021 19:34

@polejunkie thanks just milking it at the minute having my husband bring me everything I need up the stairs may aswell get some enjoyment out of it 😂 tomo morning seems so long away 🙈🙈🙈 x

Morning all, trigger shot done last night and feeling a bit off colour today, at least this part is nearly over! I've told work im going to be off tomorrow and Friday and found out the person they brought in to help me and cover when I was off has just been signed off work for two weeks! Could you even make it up! I'm trying not to stress but we have client deadlines end of next week and it really is terrible timing.

@Sjhigs hope this is it for you!

Sjhigs · 19/05/2021 08:35

Bad bleeding throughout the night girls negative this morning it is what it is have the docs this morning to check for hcg in blood test is in the bin not annoying myself anymore about it x

polejunkie · 19/05/2021 08:47

Sorry @Sjhigs Mother Nature is a bitch 💐

@Motherofkittens28 suck you’re feeling rough but you are on the home straight now - try as much as poss to push work to the back of your mind x

Sjhigs · 19/05/2021 08:55

@polejunkie you learn to become thick skinned after all these years we've our ivf starting now anyway would be worse if we hadn't that x

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/05/2021 09:05

@Motherofkittens28 yay for trigger! Sorry you feel off colour. Oh it's hard not to worry about work but they'll have to sort it hun.
@Sjhigs so sorry to hear ❤️ when's ivf starting? I'm in the midst of mine at mo.

Sjhigs · 19/05/2021 09:08

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/05/2021 09:12
