Thanks for your support everyone 🙂 @crazycatlady1981 I'm starting on 1st day oslf my period after the baseline scan with the Menopur 325 per day. They are monitoring me and then advising from there. 🤞 AF arrives tomorrow!

polejunkie · 05/08/2021 06:12

@MIW01 good luck!!
You too @Sjhigs I hope your scan goes well this morning, thinking of you 🍀

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/08/2021 12:02

@thislittlebird hope you're feeling a bit better about the impending ivf now?

@polejunkie I can only imagine how nerve wracking it is, I know I'll be the same if I ever get another bfp

@Sunbird24 are you a blackadder fan by any chance? 😂 made me lol with the 'stickier than a sticky thing that fell in a glue pot' comment!

@becarefuloutthere so pleased everything is going well

@Motherofkittens28 great that they're monitoring you so well and it's all good, I got no pregnancy symptoms at all with my daughter for quite a while and even then didn't get much

Can't wait for some lovely scan pics from you all!!

@MIW01 what a real nightmare your work has been! Sounds like they've treated you very unfairly. I'm starting to think now because I don't test early maybe o should so I'd know if I get any of those feint positives before af 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Annny27 sorry af is on the way for you again 😞

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah, ok. I just had a migraine for the first time in a while yesterday/today and it reminded me that I could be ill on all the drugs. I hope not. I’m sure someone here said they didn’t get hormonal migraines from the ivf drugs.

Really wish I could have conceived the easy way, really worried my body isn’t going to respond in a good way.

thislittlebird · 05/08/2021 12:49

I remember when my friend got pregnant and it took her about 6 months both times. Her migraines stopped. And I was always looking forward to that, thinking they’d go away when I finally did get pregnant. But I didn’t manage it, and now I might have more that I’m paying lots of money for 😔

Sjhigs · 05/08/2021 16:50

Hi ladies not going to lie to you all I've been avoiding the group had 3 weeks of anxiety hell losing symptoms not feelimg pregnant and basically worried sick about the outcome of my scan. Been trying to distract myself from everything fertility.

Well wasn't that a waste of worry and stress

My advice to you all in this journey is to stay of Google and don't stress about your symptoms coming and going it obviously means nothing 🤦‍♀️

Wonderful news @sjhigs ♥️♥️♥️♥️

@MIW01 it's such a let down isnt it waiting for so long!!!

@thislittlebird yes it's so frustrating with nhs criteria and differences across uk etc

polejunkie · 05/08/2021 18:18

Yes @Sjhigs wonderful news!!! X

Motherofkittens28 · 05/08/2021 18:35

@Sjhigs wonderful news!

Thanks @crazycatlady1981 I just had another test today and hcg is still more than doubling every two days but my progesterone has dropped so I need to start supplementing tonight. The joy of pessaries again! Next test on Saturday and hopefully progesterone will have gone up after two days of supplementing !

Motherofkittens28 · 05/08/2021 18:36

Luckily I still have loads of progesterone stuff from my two failed rounds so at least I'm not paying for it again!

Sunbird24 · 05/08/2021 18:49

👏@Sjhigs hooray, lovely picture!

@Marvellouslymadmum, yes, Blackadder, Monty Python, Two Ronnies…

Annny27 · 05/08/2021 19:43

@motherofkittens28 that's fantastic that you have had it checked and can get the progesterone supplements started!

becarefuloutthere · 05/08/2021 19:44

@Marvellouslymadmum thank you! 😊 How are you?
@Sjhigs wonderful news! I hope you can relax a little more now x
@Motherofkittens28 I'm sure it will! Excited for you ♥️

Sjhigs · 05/08/2021 20:26

Thanks everyone yes the stress levels have definitely went down today maybe sleep past 5 tomo morning 😂

crazycatlady1981 · 05/08/2021 20:27

@Sjhigs that’s amazing!! So happy for you!! Hope you feel a bit more relaxed now! 💕

@polejunkie good luck for your scan tomorrow!! 🤞🏻

@Motherofkittens28 that’s so good that you are having everything checked regularly and being looked after! 💕 Great to hear your hcg still doubling! 😊

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/08/2021 21:28

@thislittlebird I really hope the hormones don't cause you any migraines but at least you know it'll all be for a good cause.

@Sjhigs aww that's great that everything's ok and lovely to see your scan pic

@Motherofkittens28 it's so good you're getting this monitoring, it can take such a difference.

@Sunbird24 yay me too! The two ronnies are just legends, I'm sure I've seen every one of their shows and the individual ones too

@becarefuloutthere I'm ok thanks just plodding along, cd41 14dpo today so af due any day now, second long cycle in a row but my appointment is in two weeks woohooo!

becarefuloutthere · 05/08/2021 22:05

@Marvellouslymadmum ooh two weeks isn't long now. I hope they get all tests and ops sorted for you ASAP! X

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/08/2021 22:19

@becarefuloutthere half of me is really excited it's finally here and the other half is nervous that they'll send me away again!

OP posts:
becarefuloutthere · 06/08/2021 08:26

@Marvellouslymadmum they defo won't, they couldn't! The endo/adeno needs sorting as a minimum anyway. ♥️

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/08/2021 09:40

@becarefuloutthere I do hope so, they say there's nothing that can be done for adeno so I just don't want them to decide it's all that and so nothing can be done 🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
becarefuloutthere · 06/08/2021 10:20

@Marvellouslymadmum I see your concern but you'd hope not as surely they can always do something even it doesn't treat the issue but solves the problem, ie; fertility treatment

polejunkie · 06/08/2021 10:32

Morning all, it was a sticky one - saw the heartbeat and it’s measuring at 7+3. Emotional to say the least x

Motherofkittens28 · 06/08/2021 10:35

Congratulations @polejunkie! That's wonderful news!

Sjhigs · 06/08/2021 11:10

@polejunkie best news ever and remember us so worried about only having one egg ❤️

becarefuloutthere · 06/08/2021 11:38

@polejunkie ah so happy for you!! Have you registered with a midwife yet and got a booking in appointment?
