Climb abourd donkeys 😂

@Marvellouslymadmum oh no! That sounds awful! Hope you are on the mend now and managed to dtd comfortably!!

@polejunkie I think our clinic was the same, nothing until viability scan! Bloods would be nice just for peace of mind really! When’s your scan date? Not too long I hope!!

I’m feeling generally ok, a little bit deflated like I’ve lost my purpose in life, but now that I’m not being pumped full of hormones, I feel like I can deal with everything with a clearer head! Quite looking forward to trying naturally again now that we’ve had a break from it! 😊

@crazycatlady1981 I'm glad you feel clearer headed, I must admit I feel like I've had enough hormones for a lifetime, like I can't really remember what my normal 'state' is, everything has been so heightened, physically, mentally and emotionally - a little bit of natural trying after the meds may be all you need, enjoy!

Have a scan on 6th Aug, which weirdly is OH's birthday... don't know if that's good or bad at this point, I'm hoping I get some pregnancy symptoms ahead of that... may move it though! Also have midwife appt before that so we shall see, not long to wait really, getting quite good at waiting I think x

@crazycatlady1981 totally get you on the hormones front! Today’s a Lubion day on top of the cyclogest pessaries, and for some reason it stung like a bastard this morning, not just the initial stab but the download as well. I can cry at the drop of a hat which I’m guessing is the progesterone as I’m normally very steady. Glad you’re looking forward to trying again!

@polejunkie fingers crossed for a lovely birthday present for OH!

fingers crossed for those in early pg stages, happy for you!
so i just got a letter for ivf clinic to start paperwork.....thought I'd be happy but actually I'm freaked out, took a cycles break before starting letrozole as just started charge nurse post, hubby had a bit of a relapse of anxiety and I think I might have ovulated so hopefully start letrozole 2 weeks time.

I know probably wont get round to actual treatment until oct/nov but even though we've been trying nearly 2 years, I'm kinda scared and I know that IVF will be last chance for us to have our own child. Never though I'd feel so all over the place.......

Hello @kerrym87 I am with you on feeling a bit freaked out by it all! I'm still hoping that we miraculously conceive this month so we don't have to go through it all! How are you feeling about the Letrozole? I really empathise with feeling like it's your only hope. Though with fiancée's COMET test and my AFC I'm not even sure that we have that much of a chance. I'm calling the clinic tomorrow and hopefully we'll make a start in August

@kerrym87 and @MIW01 I had the same feelings re IVF, it feels very final and like it's the last resort - of course we all hope we won't make as far as the last resort, but it can do wonders, it can be the small helping hand that you need. One you're on the meds it kinds of flies by, full of anxiety and what feels like really long waits don't get me wrong, but it's manageable and you will smash it! It's a roller-coaster for sure, just strap yourselves in x

Hi everyone got my bloods back my result is 2945 clinic says is really high so looks like this little baba has been playing tricks with me 🤦‍♀️ all that worry over nothing thanks everyone for the well wishes I've promised myself im not going to be so psychotic so hard not knowing what to expect with it being my first

@polejunkie could you not get a bloods appointment with your doc xx

Wow @Sjhigs that's great! When I spoke to my midwife she simply said no need to see doc or have bloods unless there's an issue... So I'm trying to roll with that. Do you have your scan dat booked in?

@polejunkie one of the nurses is off on annual leave so they'll contact me next week for a date the following week I'd rather not have a date right now anyway because then I don't stress over it happy enough not knowing x

That's great news @Sjhigs hopefully you can breathe a sigh of relief!

Thanks @polejunkie I'm really glad that it is the final piece of the puzzle fpr some! My friend who's hasmd a 7 year TTC nightmare brought her 3 month old daughter over the other day, took her 3 rounds of IVF to get her but jist being with them brought me so much hope & joy 😁

@MIW01 yes definitely ❤️

Fab news @Sjhigs!

@Sunbird24 Thankyou can't believe it's still there was convinced 🤦‍♀️

I kind of wish I could get a blood test now… wonder if my dr would let me have one next week? 🤔

Good luck @CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker, hope you get a sticky bean and the occasional break from work

How are we all coping with the heat? It's going to hit 27 degrees today 🥵 I'm melting!

Currently 26 here @Tofu35, I’m wfh so have an ice pack wrapped up in a towel on my lap to counter the heat coming off my lsptop!

@sunbird24 that is a genius idea! I had a bag of frozen peas sitting on my neck yesterday, the ultimate glamour!

Hello Super Donkeys! So this weird . . . 2 positive cheapie OPKs measuring LH 2 days in a row for the 1st time since December 2020! The interim advice we received to manage fiancée varicocele is for him to ejaculated as often as he can every 3-12 hours if possible! 🤣 I need to fit him woth a set of duracell batteries! AND wear an ice pack in his pants! He's point blank refused the ice pack . . . He's also supplemented up tonthe eye balls after I read it starts with the egg. So, we are DTD like teenagers! Everyday then twice a day yesterday and today and for however long I have OPKs - call me an optimist but I am fancying our chances! I'm calling the clinic today to hopefully schedule IVF BUT hoping we won't actually need it 😅
