@Theawkwardblonde oof that sounds super rough! I really hope the nausea stops for you soon.

@MIW01 @crazycatlady1981 thank you for the luck ladies - I needed it. The call was so pointless in the end, the doctor was over an hour late and then just gave me a laparoscopy/current status update. Then went on to say how next steps is IVF but it's super invasive and they only consider it once it's been 2 years. She then asked me when that is for me! Next month you potato! "Oh". "Maybe I should get the referral going for the funding assessment". So that's what she's doing - but she told me it takes up to a month to get the paperwork and then it's an 18 week pathway to IVF but she reckons it could be longer due to covid.

SO LONG.

OH wants us to consider going private in the meantime unless I do get that job offer I'm expecting this week. If I do then the timings kinda work relatively well.

MIW01 · 17/06/2021 13:55

@crazycatlady1981 Oh gosh! I really hope the IVF treatment doesn't send me psycho! My fiancée has enough to deal with already! 🤣

@Sjhigs yeah I don't think letting it take over your life is at all Healthy! I think it's better to do what you can, minimise stress as much as possible and enjoy life as much as possible - I should follow my own advice 🤣

Sorry to hear you're feeling so sick with it @Theawkwardblonde I hope it gets better for you in these coming weeks. Weight loss does not sound good

crazycatlady1981 · 17/06/2021 14:11

@Juno231 😫 I hate those pointless phone calls! So irritating when they just repeat what you already know! What a nightmare! Our ivf took about 3 months from our first nhs appointment to actual start point, so it may not be as long as they say. Im sure they try to put us off by saying it will take forever!

Sjhigs · 17/06/2021 15:44

OK so guess who's joining stims club tonight 🙈🙈🙈

This just got very real what meds is everyone on I'm 2 injections at night gonal f and luveris

polejunkie · 17/06/2021 15:55

@Sjhigs wooooo! I’m ovaleap 375 (think it’s actually gonal-f though...?) I’m gunna do my about 9pm, buzzing! How you feeling? Have you been injecting so far? Stims club a go go!!

polejunkie · 17/06/2021 15:57

*similar to gonal-f that should say!

Sjhigs · 17/06/2021 16:43

@polejunkie im on 225 and have to take luveris for lh this is my first injection want me to do them at exact same time every night between 6and 8 so think il stick with the 8 incase they make me sick 🙈 least it's closer to bed time if they do x

polejunkie · 17/06/2021 16:54

@Sjhigs sounds like a plan, I’m going for 9pm for that same reason, although my nurse did tell me the timing doesn’t have to be exact (unlike my nasal spray!) good luck x

Theawkwardblonde · 17/06/2021 17:15

@crazycatlady1981 @becarefuloutthere @Juno231 @MIW01 thanks so much for the well wishes.
I'm not complaining mind, as it'll be all worth it in the end 😂😂

crazycatlady1981 · 17/06/2021 17:23

@Sjhigs yay! That’s great news! 🎉💉
I’m on ovaleap 300 for now and then switch to menopur 300 on Monday!

@polejunkie am I supposed to be doing ovaleap in the evening?? 🤔 no one actually told me a time, just that it had to be after my scans (which are all at 8am/9am) so I’m doing it with my buserelin at about 9.45am!

polejunkie · 17/06/2021 17:24

@crazycatlady1981 my understanding is the time doesn’t matter chick so don’t worry x

crazycatlady1981 · 17/06/2021 17:31

@polejunkie phew! 😅 good luck with your first injections both of you @Sjhigs get those ice cubes at the ready! 😬

Narwhal88 · 17/06/2021 17:36

@becarefuloutthere @Crazydoglady123 at the moment I think my OTD is 12th July 😂 I hope it is a good omen!

FET is a weird process as I don't feel like I'm doing anything as I'm not injecting, just taking some tablets. I guess it will feel like more is happening once I start progesterone. First lining check is Monday. Had my first Brazil nut last night 😂 it was ok actually, I'm not generally a nut fan unless it's Nutella 🤪 Sick of Pom juice already!

Crazydoglady123 · 17/06/2021 17:46

@becarefuloutthere I never even knew that it was so normal to feel it in the evenings more 😅 See the POAS demon comes out to play 🤣🤣🤣

@Sjhigs congrats! Eat lots of protein and drink lots of water

Thank you @polejunkie. I'm sure he'll change his mind in a few years 🤣

@Theawkwardblonde hyperemesis is meant to be horrible! Have they given you anything? Baby will be fine. I think I'm doing really well to not have considering how high my HCG levels must be right now. I'm adamant at least one is a girl but I keep having this intuition of two girls 🙄

@Juno231 stay positive. Hear people say all the time they're told it'll take months and doesn't. @becarefuloutthere yours was, wasn't it?

@Narwhal88 woohoo to the 12th! Do you have any side effects off your tablets?

@Narwhal88 oh it defo is!! 😉 well done on the Brazil nut! Dry muthafuckas aren't they 😂 I love Nutella too! I had one bottle of Pom juice and drank it around transfer and that was that.
@Crazydoglady123 agreed, very weird to call it morning sickness when you feel sick in the evenings! Hehe after these two digital's that's it tho, no more 🙅🏾‍♀️
Yeah they said it'd be months and it was like one month 😆 @Juno231
@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker yay for stims! How'd you find the needle? I hated my stims needle, was on menopur. Much preferred doing the buserelin.

Sjhigs · 17/06/2021 20:09

First stims done 2 injections until Monday then 3 from then on no ice actually didn't feel a thing 🙈 tough as old boots 😂

MIW01 · 17/06/2021 23:09

Good stuff @CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker @Narwhal88 hopefully it all pays off in the end! Hope you hear soon @Juno231

polejunkie · 18/06/2021 07:51

Morning all - hope everyone is ok? I successfully stimmed, quite surprised how well it went, feel fine too just a little bit restless in the night but think that is because of the heat more that anything! Let’s see what this next week brings.

Anyone got any tips for stimmers? Drink lots, I see pom juice and Brazil nuts are recommended, anything else? I’m still taking coq10 and folic acid etc - come on little eggs 🥰 this is it now, do your thing! Hehe x

Sjhigs · 18/06/2021 08:49

@polejunkie is this all in my head I feel bloated already if I'm right I wouldn't like to see me in a weeks time 😂 I feel grand too but same restless sleep think I was scared I might never wake up again 😂

@polejunkie @Sjhigs well done ladies!!
Another thing to eat is pineapple core, but a whole one, chop it up but eat the core as well. Good luck 🤞🏾

Thankyou ladies going to do some housework here before I start work trying to keep busy busy x

Juno231 · 18/06/2021 09:15

@Crazydoglady123 @becarefuloutthere thank you ladies - I did feel very disappointed yesterday but conflicted at the same time in case I do get that job! Let's see what happens with that and take it from there.
