@Minster2012 apparently didn't learn from the last time and is once again letting me loose behind the wheel whilst she enjoys her well earned rest! You can follow her on Instagram (Minstermusings) where lots of passengers and ex-passengers have their own TTC or normal accounts too (just be careful not to out anyone on their non-TTC accounts!)

We have had over 100 BFPs on this thread since @Minster2012 took over including 2 on the last thread so we need to keep our lucky run going, no slacking ladies!

Anything goes and NOTHING is TMI on this bus! Whether you're doing it the old fashioned way or with some help from science, we're all waiting for those 2 pink lines and are here to support each other and try to stay (somewhat) sane along the way

Great news @Somatronic! Sorry about the pain though. So are they putting DH's 'boys' into your egg right now and then letting them hang over the bank holiday weekend before implantation?

THIS IS SO EXCITING!

Rest up. As @Sunbird24 says, Mcdonalds or all the chocolate easter eggs to celebrate the removal of your non chocolate eggs.

Somatronic · 14/04/2022 20:21

@pennysays I guess so! They'll call me tomorrow to let me know how many fertilised and then they'll call every second day after that to update me on the survivors. It's mad when you think about it!

I'm feeling very detached from the process at the moment and hoping to stay that way. It's the hope that kills ya.

Minster2012 · 15/04/2022 07:40

@Somatronic I found the waiting for the calls on the fertilisation and growing the worst so if you can feel detached that's fab. I'm routing for you guys so much 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@pennysays it's really exciting stuff, amazing what they can do

Minster2012 · 15/04/2022 07:40

Lying on a beach @Sunbird24 how did that go for you?!

Franklydear · 15/04/2022 08:50

@Somatronic fantastic! And even better that you can be calm about it

Not much to report here, just chilling at home with the brothers, so far they have ensure that I have a car available, this one until Monday, only that in Spain, everything closes for bank holidays, everything, bars, pubs, restaurants even, everything

Somatronic · 15/04/2022 10:24

Thanks for all the support women! Got the call there. 5 of the 9 fertilised so I'm happy enough with that. I just hope most of them survive the weekend!

Easter in Spain must be fabulous @franklydear I love the processions and all the bells and whistles you guys do.

Sunbird24 · 15/04/2022 14:02

That’s a good result @Somatronic, hope they all grow nicely for you!

@Minster2012 it’s a visualisation that can make a difference with a headache but apparently not when someone’s got a big needle up your foof and into your ovary… 🤭

I’m 4 days into my first AF since the last MC, it’s still ridiculously heavy but no cramps at least.

Franklydear · 15/04/2022 14:21

@Somatronic I haven’t been for Easter for ages, normally come for Xmas instead, I’ve forgotten how much is in your face everywhere, it is pretty, unfortunately the amount of time my mum expect us to be in church is a bit much, we are mostly watching from the side, not going to the night processions

Minster2012 · 15/04/2022 16:06

@Somatronic that's really great come on embryos grow grow!

@Sunbird24 yeah I find it difficult to focus on other stuff in that scenario! First AF though that's progress 🤞🏻

@Franklydear oh gosh yes I'd forgotten they were all very religious your family

Franklydear · 15/04/2022 16:19

@Minster2012 ds is going to get a reputation, all my brothers and cousins keep taking him out for a breather, due to his ‘unruly behaviour’, it’s a fab excuse to miss half the service😂🤨

pennysays · 16/04/2022 08:25

I was here in spirit for the egg news @Somatronic. Found myself logging on to mumsnet in the b&q carpark to check on your eggs. It’s Easter so I have high hopes. You don’t have to though because as you say, the hope will kill you.

@Sunbird24 sorry to hear you’ve suffering. How long was this cycle?

Sending you extra special super powers @Franklydear for dealing with family with patience

Sunbird24 · 16/04/2022 09:26

@pennysays I had to have another ERPC on 15 Mar as they’d missed a bit in January 🤦‍♀️ AF turned up exactly 28 days later though, so I guess I take that as a cycle?

Franklydear · 16/04/2022 19:22

@pennysays thank you, just about dealing ok with it, repeating the mantra, I am only here two weeks, I don’t need to fix this, brothers telling me to leave it alone too

Sunbird24 · 16/04/2022 20:18

How much longer have you got left @Franklydear? Hope it goes smoothly for you!

Franklydear · 16/04/2022 20:33

@Sunbird24 we’ve been a week and another left, it’s not too bad, just the illogical ways they do some things and don’t let you help, and the constant why don’t you moved back in with us, and relocate in the process, from both sets of parents

pennysays · 17/04/2022 11:49

Sounds tricky @Franklydear. I’ve been reading about setting boundaries recently too. Leaving this here for anyone who might find it helpful

www.gottman.com/blog/how-i-stopped-trying-to-control-my-partner-and-took-responsibility-for-my-own-happiness/

How are those eggs coming along @Somatronic?

Franklydear · 17/04/2022 12:11

@pennysays we are very experienced at not getting into conversations we don’t like, ie disapproving of what other family members do, but it is handy being in two houses half hour away, so we can escape to the other if it gets a bit hot, it’s all very nice until familiarity sets in, and then the interrogation about what you are doing with your lives/this is what I want you to do starts, time to move

Somatronic · 17/04/2022 12:29

@pennysays I'm due an update this evening. I'm worried they'll tell me there are none surviving but trying not to think about it! The thoughts of going through another round is horrific!

Somatronic · 17/04/2022 15:07

All 5 embryos are still with us and they're of very good quality. I'm so pleased and relieved 😀

Sunbird24 · 17/04/2022 16:07

Congratulations @Somatronic, Easter did turn out to be a good weekend for eggs after all!

pennysays · 17/04/2022 17:04

Whoooop!! Awesome @Somatronic . Roll on Tuesday!

polkadotpixie · 17/04/2022 19:40

@Somatronic that's amazing news! Grow little embryos! 🤞🤞🤞

@Somatronic fantastic !!
Just checking in, after afternoon at the brother in laws, in other news, my knitting Instagram reached 200 followers

Minster2012 · 18/04/2022 09:50

@Somatronic come on Easter 🥚 eggs that's so good I'm made you for you! So transfer tomorrow?? When do you find out for sure? 🎉🥰🤞🏻

Somatronic · 18/04/2022 20:51

Thanks @polkadotpixie @Franklydear @Minster2012 @pennysays @Sunbird24 Hopefully a few of them will survive til tomorrow!

Transfer is tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone here have experience with progesterone pessaries? Is constant exhaustion normal? I fell asleep for hours this afternoon after a long walk. I think that work will be difficult in the next few weeks.
