@Crazydoglady123 fantastic news!! I didn't dare hope it would be two in there. I hope you have a healthy and boring pregnancy! What new due date does this give you seeing as it's twins?

@notyetamumbuttrying 8 is flipping amazing! is the next update tomorrow or on Friday for day 3 blast?

PeanutButterBrownies · 02/06/2021 10:48

@notyetamumbuttrying How are you feeling??

I'm not too bad thank you, just plodding along. My periods have become a bit irregular so I've had some more tests done but all still seems to be normal so just very confused! Have an appointment for August to start discussing IVF options if still no joy by then, which seems likely.

One of my best friends went into labour last night and sounds like it was going well! Very exciting!

crazycatlady1981 · 02/06/2021 10:49

OMG!! Such great news all round!! 🥰

@notyetamumbuttrying 8 fertilised is sooo good!! All the baby dust and happy vibes coming your way lovely!! ✨✨😬

@Crazydoglady123 woweeee!! That’s amazing! I’m so so excited for you! 💕

Feeling all the good vibes for starting tomorrow! Yay! 😊 x

polejunkie · 02/06/2021 11:05

With the risk of sounding very boring haha - can anyone give me any advice re down-reg withdrawal bleed? I’d be due on today but been down regging on nafarelin for 7days and I have no idea when to expect a bleed (if at all) I don’t want to be caught out lol

RobinRose · 02/06/2021 11:16

@Crazydoglady123 congratulations!!
@notyetamumbuttrying great news, fingers crossed for you!

I'm going to be taking a break from this thread/mumsnet. We had our results back and things aren't looking too great, IVF has been suggested if dps swimmers don't improve but that isn't something we want to do or can afford to.

I might be back at some point.

Wishing you all the very best, take care x

polejunkie · 02/06/2021 11:20

@RobinRose best wishes to you, I hope you’re ok and the break does you some good x

Marvellouslymadmum · 02/06/2021 11:28

@thislittlebird I think 200mg should be fine as long as it's the super absorbable stuff, how much does your oh take? I've got mine in 100mg every other day until we hear his sa results then I'll change it accordingly. I checked my dm's you're deffo not a nuisance I was just rubbish and didn't come on here at all yesterday

@Crazydoglady123 omg congratulations so so happy for you!! And very jealous lol twins are the dream 😍 so Pleased everything has gone well For you aww it really does look like alien eyes!!

@RobinRose sorry to hear that, take care of each other and hopefully we will see you again x

@notyetamumbuttrying repeating myself from the other thread but so happy for you, 10 collected and 8 fertilised is great news! Everything crossed 🤞🏻 for Sunday

Motherofkittens28 · 02/06/2021 11:30

@Crazydoglady123 wow congratulations! That's great news!
@notyetamumbuttrying great numbers for you, 8 fertilised is a fab amount!

Crazydoglady123 · 02/06/2021 11:38

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you. That's a really good result! Positive vibes your way for good haul of day 5 embryos! That's a long old wait between now and Sunday for you. Have you got things to keep you busy? Weird how out your AMH was too looking back (obv in a good way!)

Thank you @Annny27 even the sonographer said it's so nice this has paid off after how long it's been and all the problems I've had

@polejunkie don't I can't stop crying even now! My oh said today's the first day it felt real for him 💙 Re down regging my bleed was late on buserelin hence why my stims got delayed 6 days.

@PeanutButterBrownies hey lovely, how are you? That's so exciting for your IVF appointment! Thank you

@Juno231 thank you! I'm feeling incredibly lucky for no sickness considering it's twins! 4th Jan which is only 8 days after DS 🙈

Thank you @crazycatlady1981! Exciting you start tomorrow! What meds do you start on?

Thank you @RobinRose. I hope you are your OH are okay and things improve naturally for you lovely

Crazydoglady123 · 02/06/2021 11:39

Thank you @Marvellouslymadmum! Inwardly worrying about what have I signed myself up for 🙈 but I'm a believer in if it wasn't meant to be then it wouldn't have worked.

Thank you @Motherofkittens28. Hope you're okay? How long till your big day now?

polejunkie · 02/06/2021 11:40

@Crazydoglady123 thanks - do I need to make a note of any bleed then for stims purposes? (Sorry I feel like I still don’t know what I’m actually doing 🤣)

I hope you catty on with no sickness 🤞🏼 x

polejunkie · 02/06/2021 11:41

Carry* lol

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 11:45

@Juno231 next update is on day of transfer 😱 they don't want to disturb them so now I have an agonising 4 day wait!!
@PeanutButterBrownies I'm shitting it 😆but ok thanks! I'm glad you have a date booked in. Calms the mind I feel! Ah congrats to your friend!
@crazycatlady1981 thank you 🙏🏾 glad you're feeling the good vibes yourself now!
@polejunkie I still came on normal time, think maybe a day late. Make a note of the date yes, as that'll be your last months period -LMP
@RobinRose thank you 😊
Sorry to hear hun, take care too xx
@Marvellouslymadmum hehe thank you! When's the sa results in by?
@Motherofkittens28 thank you. How are you?
@Crazydoglady123 I know, so odd right! Yeah have work and my sisters to go to on Saturday.

Motherofkittens28 · 02/06/2021 11:52

@Crazydoglady123 45 days to go but I don't think it will feel real until Boris makes his announcement. I'm praying they don't delay the removal of restrictions, I think after the year I've had I deserve something to go right for me!

@notyetamumbuttrying the days are easier when you know you aren't expecting an update but that day of transfer is a killer when you don't know what to expect. I'm ok, just about to have my counselling session

@notyetamumbuttrying so cute that they don't want to disturb your embabies

Crazydoglady123 · 02/06/2021 11:57

@polejunkie just note when day one is of full flow. Is your baseline scan booked or do you have to call on day 1 of your bleed?

@notyetamumbuttrying that's good then. Are you eating your pineapple and drinking your Pom juice?

@Motherofkittens28 after the year you've had you definitely deserve the wedding of your dreams! I really hope they do lift them so you can have a normal wedding. Good luck with your counselling session too ❤️

Marvellouslymadmum · 02/06/2021 11:58

@Crazydoglady123 you'll be fine, it's so exciting you can start looking at twin things now!!

@notyetamumbuttrying horrible that they're not updating you, do you think they would if you called?
I phoned the surgery yesterday and they said my scan results are in but can't give me them as they're not qualified so I have to wait to speak to the doc on Monday! I asked about his sa results but she wouldn't even tell me if they were in!! Said we can ask the doc on Monday and she will talk to us both 🤷🏼‍♀️

polejunkie · 02/06/2021 12:02

@Crazydoglady123 I have all three scans booked in, 16th, 23rd and 25th...? On 16th I assume they’ll show me how to inject as my schedule says that will start on 17th 😬 blond leading the blind in this house, no idea what’s going on haha

Crazydoglady123 · 02/06/2021 12:07

@Juno231 I didn't with my son so I assume I have a good tolerance to HCG.

@Marvellouslymadmum thank you. I'm going to be good until 12 week scan and not look 😬 What a pain the receptionist is being at your doctors!

@polejunkie so 16th will be your baseline scan so you have plenty of time still to have your bleed. The bleed is needed so your uterus lining is nice and thin.

Crazydoglady123 · 02/06/2021 12:09

Meant to say too on the scan my ovaries are still quite big which explains the sharp pains I've been having occasionally in them but apparently it's quite normal and they will settle so just a heads up to all you IVF-ers

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 12:35

@Motherofkittens28 hope it goes well! I could do with mine today to calm the nerves! Have my next one booked in for around otd.
@Juno231 let's hope they're strong cells!! I couldn't cope if I get there and none made it etc. One of the women on my ivf thread had that with her 7 fertilised 🙈
@Crazydoglady123 I'm doing neither of those things! 😳 will do an online shop tonight! What other things do I need to do?
@Marvellouslymadmum they don't want to disturb them so if that's procedure then I'm fine with that. They only update you if you have few I've recently learnt, so I'm happy to leave them!
Oh how frustrating! We're both playing the waiting game then! X

@notyetamumbuttrying Brazil nuts!

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 12:50

@Crazydoglady123 I still have a massive bag of them from ordering via Amazon. I never read the weight and got a kilo or something 😂 will start my 3 a day of them and will put pineapple and pom juice on the online shop!

OP posts:
Marvellouslymadmum · 02/06/2021 12:52

@Crazydoglady123 how very sensible, I don't think I could resist! I know she was very grumpy! I may call again today and ask them to email the results through for us both (he's here if they need to check with him) that way I can get a heads up!
@notyetamumbuttrying ahh that makes sense! Yes lots of waiting unfortunately
