Congratulations @Koalie that's amazing news, keeping everything crossed for you.

Amazing news @Koalie congratulations!!

@Koalie lovely news - keeping everything crossed for you! X

@Koalie sending you a cautious congrats and a big hug 💗💗 keep us updated with how you're feeling

@Carla2601 you know I will be on pretty much the same IVF meds as you? Did any of yours need to be kept in the fridge?! I'm panicking as mine are due to arrive soon and I wasn't told about storage!

THANK YOU EVERYONE 🥰

@lemons44 … my drugs came with an info leaflet that told you which need to go in the fridge. Don’t worry, I expect they will make it clear when they drop them off xx

Thanks @Koalie they have just arrived and one bag says 'keep refrigerated' and the other doesn't - phew!
Feel so anxious now. Start on Monday and all of a sudden feel so overwhelmed!! 😅

@lemons44 I'm sure it will all go smoothly :D

Thanks @TheBirdintheCave 😘 how are you doing?

@lemons44 It all seems so daunting at first but the injections really are quick and easy to get the hang of! So excited for you 🤭 x

@lemons44 none of mine did but I remember this fear too! Think it’s a control thing. So pleased you’re finally able to get going and will be thinking about you

@lemons44 I'm ok, just depressed dealing with the endless waiting. Still 13 or so days before ovulation. I'm just so fed up with it all 😢

@Carla2601 @Koalie did you get a bit of redness around the injection site? Just done my first one and it's a bit red around where we injected. Feel full of anxiety about horror stories like allergic reactions!

Huge congratulations @Koalie !! And so exciting that you’ve started @lemons44 !!

Well my laparscopically guided hysteroscopy was going to be on April 13th and then last week - I got covid (have to test for work). So now it’s been cancelled and I just feel devastated but a bit numb. Hoping to reschedule for May 11th 🤞🏽

how’s everyone else doing?xx

@lemons44 im really sorry I can’t remember but I do remember sometimes they didn’t feel the same and I’d panic I’d put it in wrong….I feel like it’s completely normal to have a massive amount of anxiety and worry! Hope it’s just some redness from the jab and that you’re feeling ok?

@lemons44 completely normal! You’ll probably find that you react differently to all of them - don’t let it worry you ☺️ x

@Netflixnchilli sorry to hear your surgery has been pushed back! That must be so frustrating x

Thank you ladies. Honestly I'm such a worrier. Last night after my jab I kept looking at my tongue in the mirror to check it wasn't swollen and I wasn't having an allergic a reaction 🤣🤣 you guys may have to excuse my hysteria throughout this journey 😅 I also stocked up on snacks because I had this panic that I'm starting IVF so OBVIOUSLY I must have a million snacks accessible at all times.

Ahh sorry it's been postponed @Netflixnchilli I hope the wait goes quickly for you.

@Koalie I hope you're doing well xx

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a good Easter break X

@lemons44 how are you getting on with stims? have they given you a date yet for EC?

@Koalie how are you doing lovely? When is your first scan?

@Carla2601 @FlyOnTheWall89 @BritInNZ hope you are all getting on well with your little ones ❤

Heey @Tinkerbell098 how are you doing?

All good here! I am on long protocol so I'm currently on day 10 of down regulation injections. Have another 8 days of down reg to go and then I start stims. Provisional egg collection date is May 3rd 😬

How is everyone else doing?

xx

Hi @Tinkerbell098 😊 thanks for checking in! Our first clinic scan is on 26/04, I’ll be 7+3. I’ve been to the EPAU today because I’m having left sided pain 🥺 I think/hope it’s digestion related because it does seem to subside if I have a good few farts 😂 just waiting for blood test results to see where my hcg is at and whether anything would be visible yet on ultrasound.

How are things going for you? Must be feeling pretty real by now 🤭

@lemons44 How are you finding the down reg? Xx

@lemons44 Seems I'll only be five days behind you! I didn't clock you were doing down reg 😂 I'll be on short protocol.

@Tinkerbell098 thank you! Not going to lie this has been the hardest thing I've ever done. We got into a rhythm and now he has decided he doesn't want to sleep in his bassinet. I'm at wits end and my google history shows it 😂

@BritInNZ For us a dummy worked when we were trapped in the same situation.

@Tinkerbell098 were good thank you! 4 months have flown by and she’s a total dream boat. Waiting for this 4 month regression but atm we’re really lucky with her sleep and she’s smiling and giggling. Just dreading going back to work in 2 months and having to leave her.

how are you feeling? X

@Carla2601 It bypassed our son so don't be concerned if it doesn't happen at all ;)
