Bus 6 of the Donkey club! Ttc for forever helpful supportive ladies for endo/ivf/mfi etc

Climb abourd donkeys 😂

@polejunkie thank you! 😊
@crazycatlady1981 yes I am. But I've no clue on the grade system which isn't helpful. 🙄🤣

@paintfairy no one would blame you for caving at 12dp5dt, that's a very long wait! My otd was 11dp and testing at 9dp still gave me a definite positive. Just use an early one which I'm sure you will. I'm glad you have another for freezing, nice to know there's another shot should this one be unsuccessful. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome 🤞🏾

@becarefuloutthere yeah I think a frer only slightly early would be ok. Then I've got theirs for test day.

How easy did people take it after transfer? I feel I've maybe done too much. Not physically, I feel fine. But I can't just sit doing nothing and I have the horses, so zero lifting isn't exactly possible? I'll make sure not to do anything beyond the basics but I can't do nothing?

@paintfairy that's what I did re tests.
Re taking it easy, I didn't really. Just got on with my everyday life but I have an office job so no heavy lifting anyway. I didn't drink etc and ate pineapple and Brazil nuts the first week. I think what you said about not going beyond the basics is enough. It's hard not to stress but remember you can't influence anything now so just do what gives you peace of mind.

@becarefuloutthere yeah I wasn't drinking throughout stims either. But I'm not much of a drinker. And I've been on decaf tea etc. I'm just rubbish at doing nothing, if I feel OK. 🤣 I only have an office job also, so work is fine. If I felt different then I suppose it would be in my mind to be more careful, but I'm guessing most people never feel anything? And I'm still struggling with being bloated. 😫

@thislittlebird I got a surprise call from my consultant on Friday saying she'd had a letter from my gp reccimening a lap but as I've started the clomid she would like me to finish that first then we will review because she doesn't think I need it because I'd been pregnant before 🤦🏼‍♀️ I said it was a long time ago I was pregnant and as long as we can review after clomid I'm happy to carry on for now.

@paintfairy that's great news congratulations on being pupo 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 crossed for you that it's a sticky bean, one in the freezer is still good

Hi and welcome back @CycleGirl20 good luck for ec

@Sunbird24 hope you're doing ok? And your telephone consultation went well

@Marvellouslymadmum they didn’t call for my 11.30 appointment until 11.59 by which point I had to join a work call, but have lest a voicemail to say they’ll try again. So annoying!

@paintfairy I was told you can go about your normal day, but don’t take up any new strenuous exercise routines or anything!

Just called me back, planning to try again this month, with 1 embryo. Got to call them when I get to about day 9 - hurry up AF!!

@Sunbird24 ah exciting stuff! Typical that they rang half an hour late though, can't say I'm surprised 😬

AF appeared today instead of tomorrow. I'm a bit annoyed with her as tomorrow would have been better from an IVF schedule pov. As it stands I'm now predicted to have CD1 on 1st Jan which would be a Saturday on a bank holiday weekend, so I'd have to wait until the following cycle. I've feel like I've waited more than long enough!

Oh and @thislittlebird just join the other thread whenever you feel like it, I totally get the jinx fear

@paintfairy I had cramping a few days in but everyone is different. The meds can impact all sorts as well so try and put any "symptoms" down to them to protect your brain from getting carried away!
@Marvellouslymadmum great news you're being taken seriously now! It's a step forward isn't it.
@Sunbird24 I'm glad you can go again! Exciting times ahead 💗
@Juno231 that's annoying! Full flow I guess so you can't make out like cd1 would actually be tomorrow?

@becarefuloutthere I've actually got some weird things going on today but I can't really tell you what it is. 🤣 Can't decide if it's digestive or not. But then some feel in my groin.
And yes you are right- because you feel all sorts on meds so it's really hard to tell. The progesterone is never a delight either.
@Sunbird24 yay for something happening! Hopefully AF hurries along.

@paintfairy feeling something no matter how weird it is, is better than nothing I reckon. Have you got a lot planned this week and next for distraction?

@becarefuloutthere yeah. Hopefully I can keep my mind off it. I think it'll be next week that I struggle! As it gets closer.....

@paintfairy I'm afraid to say you're right! I was completely fine the first week and then the closer it got to being a reality I completely freaked and thought it hadn't happened. It's such a bloody rollercoaster of emotions! But with support on these forums and IRL you get through it. 🫂

@paintfairy have you decided if you'll test before OTD? If so, when?

@Juno231 some clinics have OTD 2 days before I've been given. 🙄 So I might cave and do that. Which would be next Wednesday. And the result should be accurate. However, when I had the iui and tested i was so scared of it failing, I actually didn't want to test and did leave it until OTD. Even then I didn't want to do it. So I'll see how I feel. I don't want to do it too early and get an ambiguous result though.
The clinic give you a cheap rubbish test (interesting?) But I've ordered frer and also some CB digital so I can see the words and weeks, should a miracle happen. I think it helps to have more than 1, just in case. And if I don't need the CB I'll give them to someone who wants them, rather than them being a complete waste of money. I toyed with whether to bother but decided that I'd rather have them and not need them, than the other way around.

My stomach is definitely not happy today. Dunno if it's the progesterone? I did feel bloated and constipated a bit, and have for ages on and off. Today I feel the opposite, like things are unhappy. I was pleased to go to the toilet mind finally. I'm starving too. 🤣

@paintfairy I see! I have no idea how I'll feel about testing tbh. My current idea is for OH to just know the OTD and me perhaps testing the day before so in case it's a BFP I could still surprise him with it? I've got crap for it collecting dust in a drawer for nigh on two years so I'd better use it! I honestly think my CB weeks test has expired now so I'd best get a new one lol.

@Juno231 yeah I used to have one but it expired long ago! 🤣 I thought for this it would only be fair to test when he knew. I don't think I would be able to keep anything to myself on this occasion!

@Sunbird24 oh that's good news hopefully this will be the sticky one!

@Juno231 how annoying! That af never does what we need her to do!

@becarefuloutthere yes it definitely is I just hope surgery doesn't get dismissed if the clomid doesn't work!

I'm going to set up a new thread in a minute as we are getting toward the end of this one and I don't want to miss it and we all get lost lol

Bus 7 - all aboard the Donkey Cart! Ttc for way longer than we should've been with endo/pcos/ivf ... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4396557-bus-7-all-aboard-the-donkey-cart-ttc-for-way-longer-than-we-should-ve-been-with-endo-pcos-ivf-all-welcome

I did hope the donkey cart would feature 😂

@Juno231 🤣 forever on the bloody donkey cart. I suppose it could be worse, we could be walking.......

@Marvellouslymadmum jump up and down and stamp your feet if they dare try and dismiss you! You'd have even more reason if clomid doesn't work.
Ooh new thread time, loads of room left on this one though. I'll try find some funny memes to fill it 😜

@paintfairy why did that conjure up an image of Jesus for me 😂
