And me 😊 notyetamumbuttrying 35 ttc no1 for 20 months. Ivf started in May. Long protocol.

@crazycatlady1981 good luck for tomorrow! The first scan starts to speed everything up!
I don't reckon you'll have to test before EC but can understand you not wanting to catch anything!
@polejunkie I got headaches from day 5 onwards with down regging and was emotional at times so defo normal. Ah thank you, I feel like I should just wait until Thursday now. I'll have an unequivocal answer then! No being told I might be too early etc. We'll see what I'm like tomorrow, I keep changing my mind 🤪

@notyetamumbuttrying I get that - if you test early and it’s positive you will still have that doubt so maybe wait if you can? You’ll also potentially not believe it if it’s negative as it’s technically ‘too soon’ 🤷‍♂️ I mean ultimately you will get an accurate answer very soon but buy Thursday you won’t question the result. Hang in there whatever you decide x

@polejunkie you're exactly right! It's the questioning of the result that I don't want and I won't be able to do that on Thursday. And also I'm off on Friday so it'll only be one day of work to get through. I'll tell Dh after the game is done, get his view on it as well.

@polejunkie I didn’t feel like it was doing anything to start with, but I’ve been quite tired over the last few days and definitely more emotional than usual so I think the meds have kicked in now! Fingers crossed for our scans this week!! 🤞🏻

@Sjhigs did you manage to get your meds sorted out and are you starting this week?

Hey @crazycatlady1981 they're being delivered Wednesday have my baseline that day so could be starting Wednesday night 🙈 trying to keep busy and put all to the back of my head just in from a big Sunday lunch and my last bottle of vino 😂 it was emotional 🙈🙈😂😂 xx

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker I bet you'll get a fair few eggs if you're at risk of ohss. I obviously hope this doesn't happen and you just manage a big haul with a lot of fertilisation! It's such a big week this week, lots happening on the 17th, I hope all positive for everyone! 🤞🏾♥️

Come on us donkeys!! 🐗 🤣

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker I think it's the same for guys. Eek I really hope it's worked, I'm so scared to find out!! Ah yes, must remember to check that out! I've had a twix today so never far from some chocolate me 😝
Wow that's amazing mate! I still have my two cups of tea a day but rarely coffee, had a decaf the other day when out and it was alright! Quitting booze must've been tough with restrictions easing and this glorious weather!! Well done 👏🏾

@crazycatlady1981 letrozole stimulates ovulation x

Am I the only one that finds this title offensive and bizarre . Infertile donkey??

Wishing everyone luck regardless. Back to the gardening section I go...

@notyetamumbuttrying I didn't end up calling Friday as we had a surprise sofa (mil got a new one so asked if we wanted her very expensive less than a year old one!) so we have been re-arranging and furniture moving all weekend lol I have to just wait for my gynae appointment in august now to see what they say about the adeno and if they'll give me a lap for the endo 🤞🏻

@Annny27 my af wasn't effected by the vaccine, well not the first jab the second it may have delayed ovulation but I can't definitely put it down to the vax

@kerrym87 that's great that you know what's going on and have a plan now! 🤞🏻 the letrazole works for you. Congrats on the job too!

@crazycatlady1981 good luck for your baseline scan today

@notsogreenthumb it's not offensive if it's a self titled title haha - we clearly dont find it offensive as we are infertile donkeys and trying to find a slice of humour in our shit and depressing journey 😜😜😜😜😜 wishing you the best if you are ttc 🙌🏻

@marvellouslymadmum period hasnt been any heavier but it was delayed (ovulation) so perhaps body is too busy producing antibodies that it doesnt have energy for ovulation haha!

@notyetamumbuttrying how are you feeling symptom wise?

@Annny27 yes maybe that's it! Looks like I finally ovulated cd33/34 (fourth attempt) as my temps have actually gone up now 🎉

@Marvellouslymadmum ooh what a touch! 👍🏾
I got the text for jab no2, don't wanna book it until I know if I'm preggars or not and then won't get it in the first trimester.
@Annny27 well put! I was going to say the same to our new gardening friend but I won't now that you have. I feel like I'm gonna come on tbh but that's kinda how I've felt all week. You can't really symptom spot on progesterone as it's all the same! So I was gonna test tomorrow but I'm literally so scared of the bubble ending that I might actually wait until otd. I think I'll likely come in tomorrow if it hasn't worked so may just wait and see if that comes and if not, maybe do it Wednesday instead 😬
How are you today?

@Marvellouslymadmum yay to ovulation!! Did you manage a steady flow of dtd still?

@notyetamumbuttrying I know we were very pleased! The second jab is usually booked for two months after the first anyway so if you wait until you've tested you can then book for further down the line. Yes we managed to dtd every other day up to the last peaks then on both peak days, just had a rest the last few days since lol

Just had my scan! She said it was a perfect baseline scan, good thin lining, no fibroids or anything sinister and about 10/11 follicles so pretty much same as last afc in December! 😊 just got to speak to nurse this afternoon and then I think it will be full steam ahead with stims on Wednesday! 🤞🏻

@notyetamumbuttrying keeping everything crossed for you! I have no idea how I’m going to cope if/when I get to the tww!! Yes good plan to wait for jab until you know for sure!

@Marvellouslymadmum yay for ovulation finally!

@kerrym87 ah I see! Fingers crossed for those cycles and that hopefully you won’t even need ivf! 🤞🏻

@Sjhigs excellent! Good to have that last supper!!🍷 😊 good luck for your scan on wednesday!

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah will wait, text only came through this morning.
Well bloody done you two 👏🏾 good going! Well deserved rest 😅

@crazycatlady1981 yay to good baseline! Similar number follicles to me too. Starting stims was the best bit for me as it really felt real then 😀
Aw thank you, it's bloody nerve wracking I tell ya! This tww and the call when they tell you how many fertilised and how many made viable embryos are the worst bits 😬
You'll cope fine I'm sure of it, you start to feel what will be will be, which makes it easier ♥️

@crazycatlady1981 that's great news! Woohoo to full steam ahead!

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm not sure we've even dtd that much in a month before 😂

@crazycatlady1981 amazing news!! Full speed ahead now hopefully!

@notyetamumbuttrying hang in there on the test front you’re doing amazing! Stay in your bubble as long as poss - thinking of you 😊

@Notsogreenthumb maybe this just isn’t the group for you, we’re all ttc and a little light hearted banter helps us keep smiles on our faces - good luck finding your people and best of luck on your ttc journey

@notyetamumbuttrying @polejunkie @Marvellouslymadmum thanks ladies! 💕 it’s good to have a positive start to this super exciting week!

@Marvellouslymadmum it does sound a lot 😂 we've obviously slowed right down since ivf, twice since we started I think 🤭
@polejunkie thank you honey, I do like my bubble! Feeling quite periody today tho 😩
@crazycatlady1981 you're so right! Let's hope you've paved the way for this week! 🤞🏾

@crazycatlady1981 you feeling ok about stims? Am I right in thinking you've been doing injections already? I've been on nasal spray for down regging so I'm a little nervous about injections, although excited to potentially start that part of the journey! I'm going to be on 375 ovaleap, it's all in the fridge waiting for me!

Has anyone else been on ovaleap? Can it be out of the fridge at all - as in when your pen is loaded can you take it out with you if you're going to be out at injection time, or is the timing not that important? I will obv ask at my scan but wondered if anyone else on here had been on it... x
