[TheBirdintheCave]

A new thread for our little gang :) Tag anyone I managed to forget!

@MrsJGrealish @happinessandrainbows @calimc83 @pangolin84 @theblueflowers @bringmearainbow @monsteramunch @bunnykins123 @curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone @Indianna2006 @FfoxRedN

@bringmearainbow going back on Thursday, probably then a couple of times next week as well. I would say definitely better to be sure!

I had a dream last night that I kept peeing on clear blues and they were positive 🙈 I'm spending this month manifesting a positive test and a baby at the end of it it's gonna happen 💪🏼

Thoughts and prayers for me today guys 🙏🏻 I've got my toddler home with me today as our childminder is sick and the backup is unresponsive 😭 Toddler plus working is not fun at all 😂

@bringmearainbow Woohoo :) Good work on the positivity there!

@TheBirdintheCave oooh no that's just not fun 🙈 I wish you lots of luck xxx

Awww I hope this this your month!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 xx

Quick question ladies I know I should really know this but my CM is creamy so I know not fertile yet but it's like really wet creamy kind of like if you tried to mix water with lotion 🤔 do you think I might ovulate earlier than end of next week the watery bit is really throwing me 😂

@FfoxRedN thanks lovely ❤️ how you feeling? Xxx

@bringmearainbow Hmm, maybe just keep a close eye on it just in case. Have you started the OPKs yet?

@TheBirdintheCave yes started them last night nothing of interest to report. It is only CD9 today does seem a bit odd 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was going to ramp up to every other day BD on Thurs/Friday but now I don't know 😅 I don't want to get to the end of next week and be tired 😂 crap I wish it was stable very month so I knew

@bringmearainbow Stability is the dream :D I am envious of everyone who ovulates the same day every month 😂

Ah shit. I've just realised that there's another problem with our IVF. Currently the cycle will start around April 28th and our holiday is booked for the 7th - 15th of June. I'm either going to have to miss that cycle or it could end up that the transfer is right before my holiday 🙄 Then I'll have to pretend I'm pregnant whilst we're away (so no drinks! 😭) and then have AF arrive when we're back (as I don't think it's very likely to work first time).

@TheBirdintheCave it's the dream 🙏🏼 oh lovely that's rubbish 😭

@bringmearainbow I feel fine, first bit of queasy stomach this morning after a coffee (decaff) but other than that fine. I've started the progesterone, eurgh. It's so grim, but also grateful that I am taking it if that makes sense.

@TheBirdintheCave oh hun. I wouldn't worry too much about the odd drink if you're away, the dates could slightly become skewed by then and it may be that you get to have the transfer when you're back? xx

@FfoxRedN I've never taken them but I've not heard great things 🙈 I get what you mean though grateful but equally like ffs why do I have to 🙄 signs are progressing that's good have the hosp or clinic said they will scan you early or you'll get bloods? What are they doing for you is what my brain is trying to type out 😂

@FfoxRedN Since it's a fresh transfer it has to be on day five post fertilisation so it could only really be before we leave :/ I'm starting to feel like a second baby isn't meant to be for us as everything keeps getting in the way.

Ah progesterone. Which... entrance... are you using? I used to put mine in the rear door right before bed so I didn't have to deal with any mess.

@FfoxRedN what sort have you got? After my trigger shot I have to use cyclogest 3 times a day. Previous cycles I’ve done it in the back as it’s less messy!!

@TheBirdintheCave oh no that’s so frustrating, could either of them be moved slightly? Could the cycle for ivf be started earlier? Or delayed to after the holiday? Or holiday moved back a few days/week?

@Alexis7890 Nope, unless my April period comes early :(

@TheBirdintheCave i don’t know how they do it for people who have natural periods as I know id be given meds to induce a period and start from there but I don’t have them naturally very often. Would moving the holiday be an option to have the cycle when planned?

@bringmearainbow yes so my gynae (when I tell her) will scan me from 6 weeks. She should pick up her email in the next few days.

@TheBirdintheCave I really hope it works out for you lovely, timings wise I hope they can manipulate the dates for you. Xx

@Alexis7890 cyclogest 2 times a day. I was back dooring it, but those who've been here a while will remember my embarrassing story of 'popping' a little too soon after 😂😂😂. I've also got thrush at the mo due to my antibiotics which is making it all quite unpleasant 🙈, pharmacy trip on my way home. Xx

@Alexis7890 Nah I'm not moving my holiday. It's not worth it for something that won't even work.

It should fit in before the first week of June, just.

Right now I can't even get the clinic to tell me what protocol I'll be on. They just sent me a list of medication and told me to pay for it. I'm trying to work it out based on that. Just miserable at the moment ☹️

@TheBirdintheCave How are your temps now? How many DPO? Here's hoping you won't even need those meds. xx

@MrsJGrealish how are you doing lovely? Has the spotting continued? Xx

@bringmearainbow think I always got like creamy/watery CM first. At beginning of my cycle after period ended it was normal for me. Hopefuly you get an ovulation on time. Nice early one is good less waiting around 😂

@TheBirdintheCave oh bloody hell. Always something isn’t there. But just think you’re so so close to starting IVF.
perhaps enjoy your holiday. And start it after. As I think it can be stressful and just a bit of an emotional toll. Mother Nature sure does like to kick when your down

@MrsJGrealish hope you’re okay lovely 💖

@FfoxRedN Thrush and sticking things up your bum. Oh how bloody glamorous is this all is 😂😂 birth gets worse as well so no hope for us yet lol

Was gonna update tonight. Little bean didn't take. Mad cramps yesterday and bleeding 😢

But DD fell down the stairs at school today and broke her ankle 😩 we have been going from one hospital to another today. The main a@e hospital apparently you need an appointment to see them like wtf I dunno if this is a new thing so they sent us to a different one with a sooner appointment time. So she's home now and resting. The phone call from the school near made my heart stop.

@MrsJGrealish I am so so sorry 😢 sending you loads of love and hugs xx
And your poor DD! I sprained my ankle last year and it was AGONY so I can only imagine how bad a break must hurt 😭
