July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

[Issy42]

Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

Certainly sounds odd Bubble - it's normal for women to have the occassional anovulatory cycle and maybe the stress of the tests has got to you. Hope that's not the case though and it's just a faulty thermometer or something.

Girl - love the idea of pee changing colour. Good luck for Tuesday.

Irish - Sorry AF got you . Try and focus on Korea to take your mind off things. Enjot the rugby.

Thanks Bubble, Girl and Irish. Am terrified of none of them making it to tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend.

I now have two blastocysts on board and a 60% chance of being pg this month, so a long way to go but at least things are in my favour.

Issy im so glad that things are going well. I am keeping everything crossed that you get your bfp this month

hope your all ok and enjoying the lovely weather.

Thanks Bubble - the clinic e-mailed me a picture of them. It's in my photo gallery but only visible to my mumsnet mates (I've suddenly become all protective of them and didn't want just anyone to be able to see them). I've tried to add most of you to that list but not sure if it's fussy about capitals, so let me know if you want a look and can't see them. So weird, as I've looked at pics of blastocysts on the internet before but so different when it's your own on a big screen in theatre.

o wow.. im gonna have a peek and see if it lets me.

Nope it didnt let me

I'm sure I typed your name correctly but I'll check. I just looked at your profile to see how you see someone's photos and noticed the link is at the bottom of the page. Lovely pics of your ds's - look like butter wouldn't melt.

Aww thanks [proud mummy emotion]

they are lovely boys but can be a real handful

I will have another go at looking at your pics.

I defo spelt your name correctly so the mumsnet mates thing can't be working. Tried making it public but still didn't get a link, so have temporarily put it on my front page.

Omg! arent they amazing!! Isnt it wonderful that you get to see them. What is the next part of your treatment? how long do you have to wait before you can test? I really hope they stick

(the link to your pics has come up now)

Thanks Bubble - I was transfixed by them in theatre. Now it's just a case of taking the progesterone and waiting. I do have a scan for the research project in about a week though and one of the girls said the sonographer thought she was pg at hers. My official test date is 15th May, but I may wait an extra day as a girl in my office is going on maternity leave that day and could be hard for me if I've tested that morning.

If the link's up now I thnk I'll put it back to friends only.

oh Issy that's just wonderful news . You hold onto them now, that's an order . Sending all the sticky bean thoughts I can muster .

I don't seem to be able to open your photos there's no 'Issy's photos' link on your profile page .

Thanks Blue. I'll put it back on my front page then.

Back on now

OMG - fantastic picture Issy!! I can so understand why you feel protective towards them already .

Thanks Blue. Just praying they make it.

You'll be in my prayers at church tomorrow (I've found myself going every week since I got my BFP, its giving me much comfort) and every Sunday hence.

Thank-you Blue - that's really sweet of you.

Issy good luck for the next few weeks. I hope you can tell sooner rather than later and they become beautiful sticky lil beans

Thanks Bubble - guess we're on the 2ww together.

PS: Managed to get the link working by uploading a picture of tulips! Guess it only appears when you have a non-restricted photo on, so taken the pic off my profile page now.

Issy Ive got 1 wk til af now!! we can hold hands while we wait. I really dont think ive ovd this month. so really i am just waiting for af to show up on time and not go awol for months on end again

Well Issy, I've never seen a blastocyst before but yours sure look cute! Just taken a peek at your piccies - wishing you all the very best of luck and that this month is your month. Can't imagine how you must be feeling, but my thoughts are with you. Bit gutted you aren't called Issy, though. Ha ha ha! Only joking. Guess what - my real name isn't Sunnydale either! Ha ha ha, that wasn't even funny. Sorry, have had a glass of wine. Hope everyone else is well this bank holiday, and that lots of BD'ing has been had by all, other than those on the 2ww.

Thanks Sunny - I'd rather be called Issy too, but unfortunately my mother just gave me a very common, boring name . Your post made me giggle - it reads as though you'd been enjoying a little drink .

Bubble - I've ov'd without a positive OPK before too, so don't lose hope. I think my AF would be due around two weeks after EC, so next Monday, but the progesterone pessaries might keep it away. Oh yes, I left that little delight out of my dummy's guide to IVF (tmi warning). You have to use them every 12 hours from two days after egg collection until 12 weeks pg and can either use them vaginally or up the bum. If the former you have to lie still for 20 minutes, but the latter you can carry on as normal. The joys of IVF. Also going to be fun in the middle of my boss's dinner party next Monday !

Blimey issy i wont ask which you do !!! I am keeling everything crossed that your beans are sticky.

I hope your right about the ov thing... not only did i not get a + opk but no thermal shift.
i did read that if you dont get solid blocks of sleep then its not accurate. (which i dont as ds2 still sleeps with us and is a complete fidget!!).
so today would be 7dpo (if the sonographer was right) and i had a really low temp? does that mean af will come early?

how is everyone?

been very quiet in here..

HF how are you? how was the holiday?

Blue did you have a nice bank holiday?

Sif where are you???

so Issy - is it the former or the latter? .

I have some news , had a 6+3 scan this morning and there was a bean with a heartbeat . I saw my doctor last Wed and basically broke down in front of him. Think the stress of 2 mc in 8 months just hit me and I was convinced I was on my way to third due to brown discharge last week. He gave me a good telling off (in a kind way) about being positive and relaxing and the midwife did the same this morning when I started saying "well, yes there's a heartbeat today, but it could be gone tomorrow" . I so need to chill the feck out and just try and think I'll get my 'take home' baby in December.

Sunny - that wine sounds lovely

bubble good luck on 1 ww!

Bank holiday shmank holiday, its been pouring with rain and blowing a gale here all day - harrumph!
