Welcome @Happidayz like others have said may be worth seeing Gp and get a blood test but maybe af is just going to be a little late

Me neither.

So my question for the panel tonight is.....
Tomorrow I have my last pregnyl injection (yay) as this takes sooooo long to get out of my system I am considering doing it before work at like 7.15am.... my one on the 3rd day I did at 9pm because I wasn't home before then.
When I spoke with the nurses this morning I said can I do it at anytime and they said yes as long as it's that day.
Do any of you see a problem with me doing morning instead of pm
Cos that's another 12 hours that it'll be out my system for test day
I don't want to test on the 2nd only to find out that my body takes that little bit longer to metabolise it??? Thoughts please :)

Bear1980 · 22/05/2017 18:53

Hey pickle how are you doing? I think if the nurse said anytime then it should be fine. I took my shot in the am on Sunday before I headed out for the day.

pickle162 · 22/05/2017 18:57

Ah that makes me feel better bear that you did yours early in the day, thanks.
It can take 10days to get out my system which is cutting it fine. I don't want to get a positive on Friday only to find out on Saturday it's actually a negative.
When is your test day again?
How are you coming with the twot?

Bear1980 · 22/05/2017 19:28

My test is a week today, doing ok trying hard not to symptom spot. Everything I have read shows that there are no real symptoms this early anyway. I do better during the day when I am at work. What about you?

pickle162 · 22/05/2017 19:49

Mine is 2nd June, yeh during day is generally fine because I'm very distracted with work (as should be) but evenings I tend to go a bit insane
I booked to see the clinic counsellors for June, thought it would be worthwhile whether this works or not.the clinic thinks I'm insane anyway I have a horrid habit of crying whenever I speak to them.i hate it!

Bear1980 · 22/05/2017 20:06

Yeah I have counsellor on 31st, I figure either way it will be worthwhile. Not heard from phoenix in a while, how is your TWW so far? What is your test date?

pickle162 · 22/05/2017 20:17

Ah that's good, mine is 10th June which will be about 2/52 after test day so if it's a negative at least it'll give me someone to chat to before next cycle

PhoenixMama · 22/05/2017 20:55

I'm here. Struggling lol. I feel awful. So full of cold, burning sinuses, tired, out of breath, painfully bloated round the middle. Back pain on top of it & and can't really take anything. Partially tempted to go have a blood test just so I know if I can get drugged up lol. Feeling pretty sorry for myself Blush

LRDtheFeministDragon · 22/05/2017 20:59

Oh, that sounds rotten. Sad

Can you go for loads of fluids and sleep? I think I'd be half tempted by the blood test, I admit.

PhoenixMama · 22/05/2017 21:10

I just looked up the blood test & it only works the day before a urine test so I'm still screwed lol.

Calz81 · 22/05/2017 21:22

Hello all. I've been away for a little while. I'm very out of touch of what's been happening. Hope your all well x

Calz81 · 22/05/2017 21:32

Calz81 · 22/05/2017 22:05

It's a hard journey but so worth it. keeping everything crossed for you.
Thanks, I'm trying to remain positive but not getting to ahead of myself. Ive had heartbreak once, I hope this is a happier ending xx
I'm also going back to work in 2 weeks after 8 months off. Going to be interesting 🙄

Munrowalker · 22/05/2017 22:15

Can u remind me how many iuis you had in the end? If you don't mind x

Calz81 · 22/05/2017 22:25

Thanks @munro.

I had 6 in total, 5 natural, 1 stimulated. 3rd is when I fell pregnant before. It would seem 3 is my number! Lol xx

Munrowalker · 22/05/2017 22:42

3 is the magic number
Fingers crossed for a sticky one
