Thanks everyone. I'm still scared but getting a little bit excited. I'm 14dpiui today.

Hoping That's a good looking line... what day are you? Fingers crossed for you!

Yay hoping!!! Is your beta today??

Good to hear from you kwick

Update from me is that I'm trying to organise an urgent 48h transfer of magic potion; will wait until Wednesday morning (12dpiui) to test with FMU and then have my ivf nurse appointment at 12noon the same day. Beta for IUI is booked for Friday but I guess I should know before then. So potentially a lot happening this week, good or bad - so many logistics!!!

Stork, I've been thinking a lot of your little embies, hope the 4 of them are ok ☺️

pez best of luck with logistics!

Fricking what a morning - currently waiting to be seen at a&e after "popping" my calf muscle when opening door to police after altercation of upstairs neighbours. FML.

hoping very happy for you!

kwick that's terrible. Hope it's nothing too bad. Feel better.

pez very busy week for you. I have to say I thought I would have a bfn too. The only time I thought I actually was pregnant was the one cycle I did get a bfn. Still have fingers crossed that all the I've planning won't be needed!

Yay hoping this looks good so far 🤞🏻now is your time 😀

pez have you tested at all yet? Sounds like you are well prepared to move forward whatever happens but 🤞🏻you don't need it

Oh kwick seriously the things you will do to get out of work you poor thing, hope you've been seen now and nothing too serious!!! Take care x

Stork keeping fingers crossed for you

Pez sounds like a logistical nightmare

I've email the donor bank about whether they've spoken to my clinic about swapping the donors or if need to repay anything, will call my clinic later to discuss further but hoping my email will prompt if they've forgotten 😬

Pea "ivf". Not I've.

I give up. Autocorrect is against me today.

Ah ah I guessed you meant ivf Karen .
So far, I've managed to get the clinic to confirm they have all the consent forms to receive the potion so they're just waiting for ESB to contact them - I'll give them a little nudge now

I haven't tested yet, I'm actually pretty terrified because deep inside I'm obviously hoping I won't need to move onto IVF... tomorrow will be 11dpiui so maybe I'll poas then.

Kwick, ffs, are you ok??

Hoping - that's amazing! That BFP is so strong! You must be chuffed, albeit nervous, like you said... When's your Beta?

Oh Kwick you poor thing it's just one thing after another at the moment isn't it! Hopefully you get sorted really quick and don't have to be in a cast or anything!

Pez sounds like you've got a busy week! I hope testing goes well, and your Beta... You've done well to hold off on testing!!

Pickle let us know what your clinic says!

Yayyyyyyyy (does dance around the room) I don't have to pay anything again to my clinic!! Phew phew phew!!!!

Argh Kwick - sounds like an eventful morning. Hope you're sorted soon. I'm hobbling around too - seem to have pulled a muscle in my backside. Excellent

I should hope not Pickle! Well done for getting it all sorted so quickly.

hoping That looks like a pretty serious positive! Fingers crossed for you!

Kwik & Shoes Get healed soon ladies! Sounds painful!

Well done Pickle thank goodness it wasn't a fight!

Pez crossing everything for you!

Starting to build in clinic consultations... exciting!

Oh no shoes not you too 😔 sorry you have a sore bum!!
Yep so pleased it's sorted, OCD has some perks. Like to get on top of things asap.

Eek Phoenix so exciting about consultation 😊

Hoping that looks good!!

Kwick shhh, that sort of thing doesn't happen in North London . But seriously, wtf? Are you still stuck in A&E? Hope it's not serious.

Shoes are you too big now to be massaged comfortably? Might help!

Karen how are you feeling now?

Pickle good!

Phoenix exciting!

Ok, so yesterday my plan was to go into work today, as we were all assuming transfer would be wednesday.

So got up at 6am, dropped the dog off and travelled the 60miles to Cambridge.... arrived at 8:30, got set up at my desk and the phone goes.... was the FC, 2 of the embryos are doing great for day 3, but the other 2 were much farther behind. So if I wanted to put two back (52% chance of successful live birth, with an 8% chance of twins) then I should do it today. Otherwise leave it till Wednesday and run the risk of only having one or no embryos to put back!

Argh!!!

So I said ok, let's do today, book me in. They said they only had a 12:30 so had to leave everything with my PA to cancel my day, hop in the car, bomb it back to MK (enroute big stone chipped my bloody windscreen), quick shower, then got my dad to drive me to the clinic!

So yeah, I'm currently pregnant (until proven otherwise). No embies in the freezer though, so fingers crossed this results in a storklet/baby bird.

Acupuncture later, but for now a room temperature smoothie (gross) and a hot water bottle on my feet!

kwick altercation? Wowzers! Hope your discomfort eases!

And thanks all for the positive vibes! Xoxo

Stork what a wonderfully exciting/manic day! Come on little embie do your magic!!!!!

Another example of how unpredictable this process is!!! Well done Stork, and now put your feet up and relax! 8% twins eeeek
Sending lots of PMA your way (I seem to have more PMA for others than for myself 😳)

Still waiting for the confirmation that the potion has left Denmark - I'm cutting it rather short this time!!

Yay stork sending lots of positive vibes - ...twins xxxxx

Yay Stork! so exciting! x

Gosh Stork - what a day! Hope you can relax this evening. Sending positive thoughts of implantation to those embryos!

Kwick - let us know how you're doing. Hope calf issue has eased.

Witch - I've never had a massage before. Don't think I'd be able to now. My tummy is somewhat of an obstruction!

Have survived the day and managed to leave work on time for the first time in ages. It might even still be light for my drive home from the station.

Hurray Stork fingers crossed for storklet(s)! So they put the two in that we're doing best?

Shoes massage is amazing for muscular things - for future reference when you can lie down again!!

Great news about not having to pay pickle

shoes how did you do that?

stork blimey and I thought my morning was hectic!! Best of luck!

So my day has been as follows:

• woke up at 6am, decided wanted to sleep more, changed alarm to 7.30
• got settled at desk by 8am, just planning my day when loud banging and screaming started in flat above
• got so bad and violent I rang 999
• then went silent
• then police rang doorbell and on my way down to answer, heard a pop, then agony in left calf
• hopped to door in severe pain, let Police in
• struggled back upstairs to get back into flat
• rang mum in despair
• then rang Dr surgery - they said go to A&E
• rang 111 they said get a cab to A&E - I had a neighbour help me down
• Mum came to A&E, at A&E given crutches, told have ruptured calf muscle
• need to keep off leg for next 48-72 hours, and could be 4-6 weeks to heal totally
• Mum got me some food in, was working away until internet stopped working - no phone line, no broad band

I GIVE UP!!!
