Fertility Appointments and Beyond: Electric Boogaloo

[thislittlebird]

Hit capacity on the old thread, will tag you in!

@tinkerbell098 haha ours is shedding like mad at the minute!

@thislittlebird ooh that looks nice good location too! Museum gardens is really nice on a nice day, and you're right by the Minster and loads of nice pubs and cafes (its a bit odd to say that because York is full of them but still). I was trying to remember the Novotel as an affordable option but a) couldn't remember and b) sounds like its not really anyway 🤣

@beckyCarlos yeah I thought it looked like a good balance of things you want, and not right in the centre for noise. In Inverness and Canterbury we ended up next to/above pubs and…no, thank you, I’m too old for that. I need sleep. Plus they have on site cats waiting for me to love them!

I need to plan the weekend now, I’ve noted your cocktail recommendations. Praying I need mocks and not cocks. 😂

@thislittlebird mocks not cocks 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead. Thats the best thing I've read all day! Coffee Culture is a cute cafe near the Minster, Fossgate is well worth a walk and ends at an entrance to the walls so you're not just wasting a walk around town, the Gatehouse coffee shop at the end is good too 😍

@beckyCarlos holding out for the mocks! 😂

I will jot these things down.

I’m getting more anxious now. I just wish my body would give me a SIGN. Can’t face another BFN :/

Emma Barnett announced she was pregnant today, after six rounds of ivf for her second.

@thislittlebird I saw that too. So many feelings of being pleased for her but always that feeling of just not really getting any closer myself. It's been a bit of a sad day today, as I found out that an old friend was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 😔 I thought jt was bad, but then googled the prognosis and it's really bad. He only found out a week ago....so I just feel a bit heartbroken all around.

So easy to read everything and nothing into the symptoms or absence of them - I found the sore boobs from cyclogest and pals really disconcerting during my last 2ww! Really hoping that you don't need to go private and this is your transfer 🤞🤞 big congratulations on the new job - hopefully the first of a series of good news!!!!

@beckyCarlos hope you're doing ok - and enjoying those cocks before you move to mocks...!

@Tinkerbell098 woot woot! Great that you got 5 eggs and that they fertilised, that's wonderful. Fingers crossed for the next update !!

Oh @99pctpractice I'm so sorry. I hope your friend is as comfortable as they can be. Sending you lots of love and hugs x x x Haha I havent had any cocks today but we went for lunch and I had a LARGE glass of red 😊 not quite what the doctor ordered but it was gooood.

@99pctpractice yeah I totally get that. It’s conflicting. I think she tried to be sensitive which was good. I guess on one hand it gives us hope because it can work, on the other, like you say, you’re still stuck at do not pass GO. And I’m so sorry to hear about your friend, what a horrible day. I had a friend diagnosed in her 50s recently. She’s ok now, but it made me reassess a lot of this. I’m 40 next year, I can’t do this forever. I’m sure it’s a feeling you’re aware of too. Sucks how long it all takes.

I have a feeling I’m out. AF is due Monday, 8dpt as usual, today is 6dpt but it’s literally just hit 7dpt or more like 6.5dpt because it’s after midnight and I now have spotting. Like clockwork, I guess. I went to the loo and there was a small amount of blood tinged cm and now I’m anxious af.

@99pctpractice oh I’m so sorry about your friend. One of our friends who just turned 40 was diagnosed with bowel cancer not too long ago. The best case scenario is 5 years so it’s very upsetting.

@thislittlebird im sorry, really really hope it’s just a tiny bit of spotting and not AF. It’s just really shit to have to go through this over and over again. Lots of love X

@Tinkerbell098 thank you, it’s such a nightmare of a process. I’ve had a small amount of brown spotting again today and feel like it’ll just keep going until it turns into a period. I emailed the clinic and they’re chilled unless I’m getting red blood, but obviously I think it’ll turn into red blood hence the anxiety. Sigh. What a stressful day.

@thislittlebird everything crossed its not the start, the people demans mocks not cocks! (Hopefully that makes you smile a bit) x

@beckyCarlos not only demand but also we all deserve the mocks!

Something else that made me smile today: www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/xmvhmj/awww_she_will_sleep_well_tonight/

Transfer booked for Wednesday! Glad I’ve got a few days to recover from the collection. No chance I could have gone in tomorrow. The bloating is unreal!

@Tinkerbell098 good news! is that a 5dp transfer?

@thislittlebird really hope it's just a bit of spotting - fingers crossed tight for you 🤞🤞🤞 loved that video 🤣🤣

@Tinkerbell098 very exciting that you're booked in for transfer!!

@thislittlebird Yes it is 5 day transfer.

@99pctpractice Yes really hope they’ll last until then!

@99pctpractice thanks! It just feels like a cruel trick your body plays. Brown spotting turns pink by today and then by tomorrow I’m sure it’ll be red. As much as I’m prepared for it I’m still not really.

@tinkerbell098 aw thats fab! Keep us updated! Hope the bloat is easing a bit x
@thislittlebird has your spotting turned or is it still brown? I'm so invested in this 🙈 that video was HILARIOUS. This is the sort of thing that'd happen to me (if I ran haha)

@beckyCarlos I wish I had a flock of sheep falling me!

The spotting was brown this morning, and very light pink last time I went to the loo. AF would be due tomorrow, so this is my big hurdle. Will it be fresh red period time in the morning/tomorrow? What fun this all is

*following me!

@thislittlebird everything crossed it’s not AF!!

So far 8dpt is THE longest day ever. Expecting AF any minute but nothing yet, no more spotting since early this morning. No migraine either.

@thislittlebird really routing for you! Really really hope it's good news. Would you do a test if AF stays away today?

@Tinkerbell098 hmmm not sure. I'm worried if I test I'll jinx it and AF will arrive. Will see how today goes, still plenty of time for her to show up!

@thislittlebird you have the self restraint of a SAINT! X

@beckyCarlos I ONLY HAVE FEAR 😩

I looked back on my old cycles and it seems I DID get past 8dpt before.

April cycle - I got a migraine at 10dpt
July cycle - started spotting 9dpt

So basically I need to swerve a migraine and heavier bleeding over the next two days. Simple as 🫠
