Waves to MOB hope the twins (and your older DC) are doing brilliantly. I had a chuckle at us having everything for the baby - so far we have a co-sleeper cot on order and some random bits and bobs and the "nursery" is still very much a room full random crap spare room at the moment. We're starting our NCT classes this Thursday, so maybe meeting others in the same boat will give us the get up the arse we need to get organised!

xxBuckyxx · 17/11/2009 12:34

PMSL at MOB and Ei wheeling out the 'egg' words...too funny.

I feel so nauseous I may die today (used as barf emoticon).

Caitni hope the flu jab is not too bad.

digitalgirl · 17/11/2009 17:58

Hi ladies,

bucky sorry you're feeling nauseous, is that coz of the injection last night?

MrsH hope DD2's mouth clears up soon. has it affected your BFing?

caitni we had the co-sleeping cot. was brilliant! Although we are now co-sleeping again, while said cot sits empty in DS's bedroom from about 11pm.

MOB and Ei nice to see you!

Back from scan, where I was told most of 'the pregnancy' has now gone but I can expect to bleed for another week. Then my next period might not come around for another 6 weeks (so in DG terms that's 10-11 weeks). There's no reason to suspect my long cycles/insane caffeine addiction/laptop use/sushi intake/tube travel could have caused the MC. I just need to keep taking the folic acid and not dwell on it.

The lady was far too nice to me, which caused me to walk out a bit too abruptly so my watery eyes wouldn't turn into some sort of Eastenders Christmas Day showdown.

Hope everyone else is good.

xxBuckyxx · 17/11/2009 20:58

DG It will get better babe. Let's hope caffeine addiction, laptop use, sushi intake etc etc don't cause bad luck because it will surely be headed my way . As for the FA...I take 5 one day and then none for 3 days cos I forget then 4 then none etc etc...I'm so rubbish after 3.5 years at being enthusiastic and good about anything ttc related.

Are you still working in central london? Text me woman...we need to sort a meeting out. xx

MrsHappy · 17/11/2009 20:59

Just a quickie because my poor yeast-mouthed baby is crying pretty often...

Bucky lots of luck for tomorrow. I hope it all goes smoothly and you get an eggstraordinarily good quality haul!

DG of course nothing you did can have caused the mc. It is just one of those awful things, but you'll be ok next time. The thrush is affecting DD's feeding. She's gone from beginning to develop a nice routine to having very short feeds and wanting them every hour. I was up 7 times last night. But the poor wee thing, her latch is terrible anyway and now her mouth is sore it is even worse. I am getting a bit sore with it too now but I am sure I can put up with it. It's funny though: feeding DD1 was sooooo easy it is strange that I am finding this one so difficult.

xxBuckyxx · 17/11/2009 21:01

I miss PnM too . Come back from China PnM we love you..... xx

PandaEis · 17/11/2009 21:57

hi ladies

just a quickie...

bucky good luck with the collection tommorrow
mrsH poor DD2 have you got anything for her from the gp?? he should be able to give you a statin to get rid of the thrush xxx
DG i hope you are ok xxx

hi to everyone else xx

xx ei xx

MrsHappy · 18/11/2009 15:55

Just looking in to see if Bucky has reported back. Hope it went smoothly.

Ei yes, DD2 is on some sort of medicine. It's not been easy giving it to her (I've ended up putting it on my finger and sweeping it round her mouth) but her tongue is looking less grim now and she is not pulling off so much when she feeds. Glad she's feeling better, but my nips are not feeling great. Still, a few more days and the lurgy should be gone.

Hope everything is ok with you all. When's Picknmix back from her jaunt?

Madoldbird · 18/11/2009 18:10

Just popped in to see if there is any news from Bucky?? DG that must have been such a difficult scan yesterday. Be gentle on yourself.

Waves again to everyone else! (one day i will stay on here long enough to post properly to everyone!)

xxBuckyxx · 18/11/2009 18:40

Hellloooooo

I am alive and have been relieved of 10 eggs . So hopefully lots of activity is occuring in a dish somewhere....

Was not so bad, a bit sore but feeling better already and hopefully the bloating will go now so I can stop feeling like a beached whale.

I have now moved on to worrying about the progesterone pessaries, in that my Xmas party is next week and I don't think acne is going to be a good look .

Ah I'm so shallow.

Thanks for checking in ladies. Love you loads. xx

xxBuckyxx · 18/11/2009 18:41

actually the party is on the 4th so that would be the week after next...more than enough time to grow a pizza face

Madoldbird · 18/11/2009 19:07

YAY!! Eggcellent news Bucky

Nevermind the pizza face, have you decided WHERE to put the pessaries yet?!

PandaEis · 18/11/2009 19:08

oooh!! bucky 10 eggs?? that is amazing i can bet there is a party in a petrie dish somewhere now
xx ei xx

MrsHappy · 18/11/2009 21:00

Woohoo for the 10 eggs - that's great.

Now you should visualise them in a dish somewhere with low lighting and Barry White playing in the background. I love this part of other people's IVF cycles, so eggciting!

And progesterone pessaries sound mildly icky. But the pizza face will be worth it in the end...

Caitni · 18/11/2009 21:24

Woo hoo for 10 eggs! That's bloody brilliant, utterly eggscellent.

Uh huh with the barry white playing while those eggs are getting nice and jiggy with your DH's swimmers - can't wait to hear how many fertilise tomorrow. Eggsciting!!!

On the pessaries, total TMI alert, but I was a front passage gal as just mentally thought of it as inserting a tampon before bed. Total nightmare on the knickers front, though, as the waxy stuff that melts out is urgh. Bring on your naffest pants is my advice

MrsH glad to hear DD2's mouth is slowly clearing - hope your boobs stop hurting soon too.

Waves to everyone else.

Had a bit of a nightmare day today, as baby had been quieter on the movement front and then noticed a (light, brown) bleed at lunchtime. Cue panic stations and a call to midwife who said to go in and get checked if baby didn't move, I felt anxious etc (as haven't had any lovin' in a week so wasn't caused by that). To help things along, I chugged a can of ice cold coke (bad mother or what ),
a tall glass of very cold water and a hot chocolate before topping off with a cake and baba was still not moving. So one visit to the hospital later, it turns out all is well - baby was asleep (twitches in his/her sleep just like his/her dad ) but heartbeat,scan etc fine and no idea what caused the bleed. I'm seeing the midwife for my proper appointment on Friday, so hoping to hear baby's heart again then.

Am now off to doze on the sofa, as feeling relieved all is fine but kind of drained too. And have a busy day tomorrow (between work, pregnancy yoga and our first antenatal class!).

bucky am still grinning from your lovely round number of eggs . Take it easy girlie xxx

xxBuckyxx · 19/11/2009 10:04

9 of the 10 fertilised normally .

So tomorrow they go back in! How come it wasn't this easy INSIDE my body . Now they just have to stick!!

xxBuckyxx · 19/11/2009 10:05

OOh and sorry you had a scare Caitni but glad all was ok . Take it easy today. xx

Madoldbird · 19/11/2009 10:13

That's CRACKING () news Bucky!! I have had this page up on the pc nervously anticipating news! How many are you having put back?

Yes, sorry to hear about the scare caitni - must have been horrible. Do take it easy today. X

Caitni · 19/11/2009 11:11

Well done on your super embies! 90% normal fertilisation rate is excellent - well done eggs and swimmers . You must be so relieved...

Is there no option for a day 3 or even day 5 transfer? Not sure what the protocol is on the NHS, but I have a vague memory of Gillydaffodil having NHS blast transfer at the HH...could be totally wrong on that though! The main advantage is just to see which are the front runners, so it should be fine if the embryologist is happy with a day 2 (and Lottie's pregnant after a day 2 transfer ).

Am so delighted for you - this is such a big hurdle and the embryo transfer is by far the best bit (bar the full bladder you need ).

xxBuckyxx · 19/11/2009 11:12

I can't believe I am going to say this but two are going back in . I'm super scared though, although DP is too excited. I have given him the 25% success statistics to calm him down!

xxBuckyxx · 19/11/2009 11:49

X posted Caitni...nope, no option for later transfer given . What will be will be I suppose.

Caitni · 19/11/2009 12:29

It's lovely your DP is excited! This is such a thrilling bit of the whole process. And two is cool (cos don't forget I transferred two blasts, so had a super high chance of twins, and am pregnant with a singleton).

On the day thing, you could always try calling the embryologist to discuss - the squeaky wheel getting the oil and all that - or you could have a look somewhere like the Lister's pregnancy calculator (www.ivf.org.uk/) and see whether it's worth your while to bother (disclaimer: their calculator is based on their own cycles).

Either way, you can bask in the glow of your clever embryos doing so well

PandaEis · 19/11/2009 16:34

bucky brilliant 9 out of 10 is eggcellent bet you cant wait to get them back in the oven
hi to everyone else

MrsHappy · 20/11/2009 16:30

Wow - 9/10 is FAB. Hope the transfer went ok.
