New thread will try and tag everyone if I can

Also if you go to the Examen website they have a list of places who offer the COMET test, that might be useful if you can find one near you.

The IVF cycle has really ramped up my hormonal migraine this month. Not a shock, there’s a much bigger cliff for the hormones to drop off I suppose but ugh I am very tired of this and tired of throwing up. I’m on day 2 (cd4) and hoping this is the last day.

The sounds stupid but when we first started trying one of the things I was looking forward to was 9 months of no migraines (potentially!). Gets me down that I’ve had a lot of them and never managed a pregnancy.

Hope everyone's doing ok? I'm cd1 again here 🙄 finally sorted my prescription out for the 100mg clomid and got the appointment with the facial unit cancelled 😂 I'm seriously considering holding off on the clomid and telling them I've taken it in the hope they'll then do my lap and I can use it after!

@Marvellouslymadmum will they be monitoring you? And is there any chance of the lap soon?

@thislittlebird just blood tests on day21 and I don't think so, I'll have to go on the waiting list however long that is!

@Marvellouslymadmum annoying how long it all takes!

@thislittlebird I hope you're feeling better. I've struggled with horrendous migraines since I was put on Dianette for PCOS. Zomig tablets have changed my life. I hope you're doing OK.

I've been waiting for a month to get my IVF protocol. I guess it'll be April before I start now.

@Somatronic keep bugging them I had to to finalise a date x

@becarefuloutthere how are you? How are you getting on?

@CycleGirl20 hello lovely I'm good thanks. You? I had my baby girl on Saturday! 7lbs7oz and doing really well! Natural labour with a few stitches to boot so I'm recovering well.

Good luck with all your ivf treatments, I hope they go well and you get your bundles of joy soon! Xx

@becarefuloutthere congratulations!! That's such good news. I'm doing well. Had a good scan at 18 weeks last week. No penis to be seen so likely a girl. I'll be so surprised when (s)he arrives, even though I'll have been pregnant for the best part of a year. I think infertility does that to you 😅 Congratulations again 🐣

@becarefuloutthere incredible 💗 congratulations lovely- enjoy the newborn bubble xx

@cyclegirl20 are you keeping the gender a surprise untill birth?

@becarefuloutthere congratulations!! 💕That’s wonderful news! 🎉🎉🎉

I’m at 10dp5dt and started getting a bit of brown spotting today so I thought I’d hold my wee in and test at lunchtime to check as I’m assuming my period is on the way. Got a squinter on a FRER! I think it’s likely to be a chemical as it’s really faint and my period really feels like it’s on the way, but will keep on with progesterone and test again in a few days!

@crazycatlady1981 I see it!!!!! I know usually at 10dp5dt it woul expect to be a bit darker but you could just have a late implanted!

Sending love and hope ❤️ ❤️

@Annny27 thank you! ☺️ Tbh just seeing a positive for the first time ever has given me hope, even if it doesn’t turn into anything more, it’s further than we’ve ever got in nearly 5 years! x

@becarefuloutthere that's so great so pleased for you, think when and if I get there ill not fully believe it and be terrified all the way through!
@crazycatlady1981 my clinic said any spotting etc let them know to check hormone levels, etc might reassure you a bit? X

@Annny27 no, we're keen to know. I just mean, inspire of being 18 weeks pregnant, I'll just be surprised when/(if?) there's actually a baby at the end of this!

@becarefuloutthere many congratulations on your beautiful baby. I hope that you're keeping well xx

@crazycatlady1981 sending you hope that it works out. And yes, it's definitely progress to see a positive for the first time! I nearly got excited at Christmas when I got a positive antigen test because it was the closest I'd been to a positive test

@becarefuloutthere congratulations! Nice to see another member having given birth. Hope you're both doing well! Enjoy these newborn stages..we're 8 weeks in and they grow/change so much!

Hello fellow donkeys, sorry I’m not around much, really glad to see good news from @becarefuloutthere, guess you’re a zebra now!

I’ve got retained products following my ERPC back in Jan so need to find a good time to take my misoprostol, and the genetic testing showed baby was a perfect little boy - think everyone on here and the other bus guessed girl! I’m definitely rubbish at the guessing cos I thought that too, and the previous one was actually a girl and I’d thought it was a boy 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, it’s kind of good news as they’ll now look at trying all sorts of other things to make my body behave for the next two embryos.

Thank you so much for the well wishes and congratulations guys, it means the world! I'm still in shock I have a baby even tho she's here and thriving. Infertility really is the thief of joy so do try and enjoy your pregnancies/baby when it happens. I have to keep reminding myself that she's real and here, although she makes herself known with her cries 😅

@Sunbird24 I like the term zebra 🦓 that's the graduate animal of choice for sure!
You're doing so well and have such a good mindset, I wish you every success for these next two embryos 🤞🏾

@Sunbird24 thinking of you, I've only just had first failed ivf and it's horrible, really hope you get some answers and what you hope for, hope we all do x

@becarefuloutthere congratulations!!!! Lovely news
@crazycatlady1981 fingers firmly crossed the line progresses

@Motherofkittens28 thank you 😊 hope you're keeping well still x

@becarefuloutthere I'm doing ok thanks. 35 weeks today and yesterday was my last day at work. Very looking forward to a few weeks of relaxation before my induction.
