@notyetamumbuttrying I was a few days late on buserelin, its very common for it to delay AF so don't worry if you are late!

crazycatlady1981 · 13/05/2021 16:29

@notyetamumbuttrying I spoke to soon! Just emailed the satellite clinic to try and they’re out of the office until next Tuesday afternoon! So much for having a plan in place finally! 🙄 really feel like the satellite clinic are just out to delay us and send me round the bend! Got another weekend of limbo now! 😩

Crazydoglady123 · 13/05/2021 16:35

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying yep now fulfilling me urge to poas daily 😂🙈 I'm so excited for all you lot to have your EC/transfers

@crazycatlady1981 thank you. Amazing news for you! I was on buserelin and ovaleap.

Had my blood test results back today for my progesterone and they want me to do Prontogest injections every three days too now. Only downside is it's infra muscular, in the buttock and the needles are massive and my OH whose petrified of needles needs to do it so wish me luck tonight 😭🙄

crazycatlady1981 · 13/05/2021 17:11

@Crazydoglady123 ooh that sounds scary!! I’m going to make DH do my injections at weekends so that he feels like he’s part of the process!

@notyetamumbuttrying scrap my last message! Finally got a confirmation email from satellite clinic saying we can officially start on my next cycle!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 woohoo! Just need af to show up now and we’re good to go for day 21!! Feel like having a celebratory drink! 🥂 It might be my last one for a while! 😬

notyetamumbuttrying · 13/05/2021 17:20

@Motherofkittens28 ok, good to know. I'm getting lots of pain so I hope it just shows and doesn't drag on n on! How are you today?
@Crazydoglady123 and no one would blame you babe! Do you think you'll tell the other thread today or you waiting until tomorrow? Oh good luck for those injections then 😬 was your progesterone low or high to have needed them?
@crazycatlady1981 yippee 🥳 so pleased for you!! 🥂

OP posts:
Crazydoglady123 · 13/05/2021 17:25

@crazycatlady1981 that's a good idea! Definitely have a celebratory drink tonight!

@notyetamumbuttrying I think I'll wait a few days and at least then I'll know too if it's trigger or true. My blood test from Saturday was 527 and Tuesdays 84 so it's still in normal range but because it's dropped so dramatically they want to boost it

notyetamumbuttrying · 13/05/2021 17:44

@Crazydoglady123 that's fair enough.
Oh I see, it's so interesting the things you find out on this ivf journey! How's Dh taking the bfp news!? X

polejunkie · 13/05/2021 18:52

Yay @crazycatlady1981 - I am currently waiting for cycle day 21 to start - although I don't know anything apart from buseralin nasal spray... I might chase next week as I'm really worried about being forgotten and don't want to delay any more...! Or god forbid have to wait another cycle!!

Sorry @RobinRose AF is a mare...

Things really are moving for some of us in this group, thinking of everyone who is still waiting round for something, it's agonising at times but the days do tick by!

polejunkie · 13/05/2021 18:55

@Crazydoglady123 in the butt, oh man - let us know how that goes, I'm so buzzing for you, super exciting!! Sounds like they are keeping a close eye on you which is great x

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm alright, just tired and stress ramping up at work which I could really do without!

Hayley19835 · 13/05/2021 20:28

Thanks for the tag I'm still popping in and out every so often still waiting for my surgery on my back and still putting TTC and IVF on hold for now. Hope everyone is doing ok xx

Theawkwardblonde · 13/05/2021 21:15

@Crazydoglady123 just seen your pic!! Ahhh exciting! Everything crossed for you 😘

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks for checking in on me. Still very sick today-feel like crap if I'm honest but it'll be all worth it in the end. I'm 8 weeks this Sunday.

Crazydoglady123 · 13/05/2021 22:12

@notyetamumbuttrying he was over the moon bless him. Not so keen when I told him he has to inject me 😂

@polejunkie it was definitely an experience. He was pranging out about the needle and I was pranging out because he was. I ended up laying face down on the sofa and iced it loads first and it was okay. He did good. I forgot to say let go of my skin once the needles in and to leave it in for 10 seconds after injecting fluid and so when he pulled it out some squirted back out. I'll give the clinic a call tomorrow and see what they say but currently laying with a hot water bottle balanced on my bum 😆

Thanks @CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker @Theawkwardblonde

polejunkie · 14/05/2021 06:24

Haha @Crazydoglady123 that made me lol, lots of tips here I must remember 🤣 well done you! You’ve taken it all in your stride x

Crazydoglady123 · 14/05/2021 06:48

Haha yes @polejunkie make sure you don't pinch the skin when injecting and always leave the needle in after 👌

So this mornings test and I did a FRER too

polejunkie · 14/05/2021 06:51

@Crazydoglady123 that is a bloody strong positive!!! How are you feeling? X

RobinRose · 14/05/2021 07:18

@notyetamumbuttrying I am OK thsnk you!

@Crazydoglady123 I am no expert but that is a very strong line for 6dpo...!

Crazydoglady123 · 14/05/2021 07:23

@polejunkie I hope so 😬 I feel fine. My only "symptom" is sore, veiny boobs.

@RobinRose it's technically 11dpo as I'm 6 days post having a 5 day embryo transferred

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2021 07:38

@Motherofkittens28 I know the feeling! TGIF eh!!
@Hayley19835 hope you're not in too much pain 💐
@Theawkwardblonde ahh but yay to 8 weeks being round the corner! 👏🏾 is your 12 week appointment booked in yet?
@Crazydoglady123 aww bless him! Those butt injections don't sound fun tho, I'd be nervous doing them on someone too 😬 yay to such a wonderful line on a test, I think you can start believing it now darling 😍
@RobinRose glad you're ok 👍🏾

crazycatlady1981 · 14/05/2021 08:28

@Crazydoglady123 well done to your OH for doing the injection!! And yay for your BFP!!! 🎉 that’s looking really good and strong! When is your OTD?

@polejunkie I would defo chase them up! If I hadn’t phoned and emailed yesterday, I wouldn’t of heard anything for at least a week, but now my prescription is ready to be sent and we’re all go for this cycle! 😬 what day is your buserelin starting?

I’m loving that we are finally getting some BFPs in our group!! 💕 This year has been so crap for all of us so far, but let’s hope this is a turning point and the start of all of our BFPs! ✨

Motherofkittens28 · 14/05/2021 08:38

@Crazydoglady123 looking good 👍 So wonderful for you if this is it!
Kind of makes you think we should all just have started with fertility tests and IVF and not wasted our time ttc naturally! If I ever have a daughter I'm going to get her a fertility work up when she turns 30!

Annny27 · 14/05/2021 09:13

Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 @crazydoglady123

Just a thought.....it might be that strong at 11dpo because they might have both implanted and its TWINS 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

GlassLily · 14/05/2021 09:26

Hello fellow donkeys 🐎 does anyone have any theories about how long after a positive OPK to have sex? I'm trying to dtd less often this month, so wondering whether do do it immediately after positive OPK (but only 12 hours since we last DTD) or whether to wait for next opportunity which is about 14 hours from now 🤔 don't want to miss my window though!

Juno231 · 14/05/2021 09:28

@Annny27 @Crazydoglady123 omg yes I forgot it was a double deposit!! How exciting Grin - I'm so happy for you crazydoglady!!

FW starting today and managed to BD at like 6am - earliest we've done it in ages I think!
