@CycleGirl20 the donkey cart will soon be no more! 🤣 Congratulations!

Motherofkittens28 · 24/11/2021 18:44

@CycleGirl20 congratulations!! Amazing news!

crazycatlady1981 · 24/11/2021 19:27

@CycleGirl20 amazing news!!! Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉
So great to have some BFPs in the group this month! 😬

CycleGirl20 · 24/11/2021 19:31

I would love that to happen. One BFP at a time and the donkey cart is no more!

thislittlebird · 24/11/2021 19:54

@CycleGirl20 congratulations! Fingers crossed for you x

There’s a few donkeys still here, never seem to make any progress 😩. Got another bfn today, not a shock, but that’s the three cycles of Letrozole that have been a complete waste of time. Don’t even feel anything anymore, it’s been 25 or 26 months since we started trying. Two cycles to go until we hope to start IVF.

Sunbird24 · 24/11/2021 19:56

Congratulations @CycleGirl20, crossing everything that it sticks for you!

I’ve grown a boil of some sort in my armpit which is no fun. Also, there is a prescription for progesterone on my care portal but I’ve not been invoiced for it, and nothing’s been said about a delivery - anyone know if I can show it to a supermarket pharmacy and buy it there instead, or if I should call up Care tomorrow and ask? Transfer is 1200 on Friday so don’t think it’s enough notice to get it from the usual place that delivers…

CycleGirl20 · 24/11/2021 19:57

@thislittlebird you're quite similar to me in terms of a lot of your numbers. We have similar high AMH I think. You're starting IVF early next year right? I wasn't expecting it to work first time but I also got a few back up frosties so I think you may well be similar

thislittlebird · 24/11/2021 20:26

@Sunbird24 I liked care’s online portal when I was with them briefly. If you haven’t been charged I’m guessing you can you take it elsewhere? They’re pretty fast to invoice, unlike the Lister who send you a paper invoice in the post approximately 4 years after you’ve had anything done 😂

@CycleGirl20 I hope so. Can’t help thinking our ages, his motility and my shitty immune system will throw a massive spanner in the works. I genuinely don’t expect it to work first time for us. I feel like it’ll be a massive slog yet again. Ugh.

CycleGirl20 · 24/11/2021 20:32

@thislittlebird it working first time is obviously nice, but having a good AMH helps you to get more eggs and hopefully gives you a back up or two.

Marvellouslymadmum · 25/11/2021 09:44

@thislittlebird I'm still with you in the cart, cd35 and still no ovulation 🙄

@Sunbird24 I don't know much about non nhs prescriptions but from what others have said Asda is usually quick and reasonably priced if you can get it there

Juno231 · 25/11/2021 09:53

@thislittlebird @Marvellouslymadmum not leaving the cart any time soon either!

@CycleGirl20 congratulations!!! I'm so glad you're adding to the successes of this bus

thislittlebird · 25/11/2021 09:54

@Marvellouslymadmum cycle day 35 while on clomid too?

@CycleGirl20 I hope so. I’ll get three transfer attempts on the nhs if we can produce three embryos 😬

Marvellouslymadmum · 25/11/2021 09:57

@Juno231 we shall be the three donkey amigos lol

@thislittlebird yes cd35 today, still no confirmed ovulation even though 8/9 peaks now and yes on clomid! I don't think it worked this month somehow 😂

OP posts:
Annny27 · 25/11/2021 10:18

Hopefully we all graduate to the non donkey life soon haha!

@cyclegirl20 whens your first scan?

@thislittlebird @Marvellouslymadmum @juno231 we're all here for eachother 🙌🙌

Marvellouslymadmum · 25/11/2021 10:32

@Annny27 four amigos! (I'm sure there's a few more really lol)

OP posts:
CycleGirl20 · 25/11/2021 11:22

@Annny27 I have a blood test tomorrow. A scan at 8 weeks will land over Xmas. I wonder if they'll do a 7 week scan or a 9 week scan or something

becarefuloutthere · 25/11/2021 13:22

@CycleGirl20 congratulations 🥳 I thought it'd work with your cramping symptoms! Thrilled for you 😃
@thislittlebird I'm glad ivf is so close now, hopefully it works for you like it has so many of us 🤞🏾
You'll all get there soon ladies, Ivf is amazing science! I'm forever grateful for it.

Sunbird24 · 25/11/2021 14:33

@Annny27 I’m an amigo too! Only leaving when I either run out of embryos or actually have a baby in my arms…

Marvellouslymadmum · 26/11/2021 08:36

@Sunbird24 we can be the left over donkeys for now 😂

OP posts:
Theawkwardblonde · 26/11/2021 08:42

@CycleGirl20 congratulations! Lovely to see more BFPs

Sunbird24 · 26/11/2021 12:45

My embryo is on board, just having a hot chocolate and a biscuit (and a nosebleed, weirdly) before I set off - Maccies’ fries on the way home…

Motherofkittens28 · 26/11/2021 14:54

@Sunbird24 keeping my fingers crossed that this is the one!

Juno231 · 26/11/2021 15:01

@Sunbird24 excited for you 🤞

@Marvellouslymadmum the leftover donkeys sure sounds like the title of the next bus🥲

I'm still on a really old thread from Feb last year with @paintfairy and another lady but both those bitches got pregnant this month so I'm the last one of the bunch🤣

Marvellouslymadmum · 26/11/2021 15:33

@Sunbird24 everything crossed for you!!

@Juno231 unfortunately it does! ☹️ it's frustrating when it happens for everyone else but still makes you hopeful that it can happen!
