Wow, I got busy!

ttc, how are you doing? Thanks for good wishes about follicles. Got a 16mm one yesterday, finally, so that's good.

ginger - when I find out how to relax I'll let you know! It is a rollercoaster.

I'm also pondering the success rates/finances question. I suspect if this try or the next one don't work out, we might do IVF egg sharing next. Or we might just leave it a bit!

Wahooo LRD 16mm!!!!! Are they going to wait for it to be a bit bigger or have they booked you for iui? So excited for you :)

They've booked me for IUI tomorrow. And thanks!

Are you doing ok? It's weird waiting around, isn't it?

Ooh how exciting:) best of luck.

Yeh I'm ok, it's like the tww all over again,over analysing every symptom and wondering whether it's the start. Feel about 150 my joints really hurt including my hands so just want her here now....but will equally miss feeling her in my tummy,never feel alone when having a little pickle wiggling around :)

Hi all been a bit quiet on this recently be suffering terribly with hyperemesis!

Tiny congratulations on your bfp!

Good luck for tomorrow lrd hope you get your bfp this time round!

Pickle I'm sure you can't wait for your baby girl to arrive now!

Good luck to everyone else ttc and hello to all the new members!

Dances into thread

We have a new match

Dances out of thread to try and get DS to go to sleep and briefly wonder why we're starting again

Ooh! Oh, button, that is wonderful! Hope it all goes swiftly and smoothly.

pickle - ha, yes, I remember! I think DP spent about six weeks saying hopefully 'maybe tonight I will go into labour ... I feel as if it's coming on ...'.

smith - oh, yuck! I am sorry. And thanks for the good wishes.

@Smithguy86 sorry about the hypermeresis - I had this too, went on medication which made it slightly more survivable

@ButtonMooooon fab news!! Really happy for you

I am so excited, relieved and cautiously optimistic!! I got all hormonal tonight, we think our dog hasn't got long left and I was sat on the floor with him thinking about how best to tell DS and then I started thinking if we are successful the new DC won't ever meet him

DH arrived home to a blubbering wreck

Oh, no! I hope you got a big hug from your DH. This whole process is so emotional, and it does all spill over into everything else, I think.

But I hope very much that things are all starting on an upwards curve for you.

@LRD hope everything goes swimmingly! Terrible pun I know. Fingers crossed for you though and really hope this is your time.

Thanks very much. We'll see!

Hope this cycle goes well GingerSnapp. In terms of relaxation trying to keep busy/distracted helps, I also do a little bit of mindfulness meditation which calms me down.

Good luck LRD, hope all went well today! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks Smith! Sorry to hear you're so poorly. I feel queasy quite a lot of the time, however whenever it lets up for a bit I worry something's not right with the pregnancy so I cannot win!

So happy you've got another match Button! Hopefully your clinic will be on the ball this time and you won't have to wait too long for treatment!

Well time is crawling, not quite as bad as the TWW but close! I'm 6 weeks today and cannot wait for my early scan. I just want to see that there's actually a live embryo in there!

Hope today went well lrd! X

@tiny - yes meditation is a very good thing. Using the headspace app at the moment which does actually have some pregnancy/health related practice as well. Congratulations on your BFP!! Is your first scan at 6/7?

@lrd - Hope the IUI went well, and best of luck in the tww.

Seems like there is lots of good news all round. We're a couple of days into stimulation meds again, and DP is feeling nauseous and headachey. Trying to remember if this happened before... We're trying to keep generally on the down low, and feel like we haven't spent much time with friends and family (who don't know we are having treatment), which is hard. What does everyone do about telling people? I guess after a while it becomes impossible to keep everything a secret, but then you don't want to have lots of people you need to tell if it doesn't work out. Tricky.

How is everyone getting on? Pickle any sign of your Lil one making an appearance?

Lrd how your tww going hope it going fast!

Ginger no idea about relaxing lol I just try my best not to think about it not to watch any baby programs not read about them and try to focus on an other thing each week or month last month was fitness and food though I have to admit I have slaked off now and due to start Treatment again in next week or so! Just prayingfor a good baseline scan!

Any one going through a iui this cycle? X

Hey ttc well she is due today but there is no sign 😔 really want her to arrive now

Aw no bet time is dragging now guess it time to try pineapple currys walk up hills n all the other old wives tales that are meant to help 🙈 will they induce you if you go over a certain amount of days x

Haha yes I have eaten a whole pineapple in the last 24hours 😂 don't like curry's unfortunately. Went to local shopping centre this morning to try and walk a bit more but she is obviously too comfy in there!
I've got check up with midwife tomorrow afternoon and will be booked in provisionally for 2 sweeps Monday and Wednesday of next week if she hasn't arrived. Not sure how long after that I would be induced but really not happy to go that far over. Don't know if anything would allow me to be induced sooner. Suppose depends on whether any concerns tomorrow like heart beat or measuring too big. So over the whole waiting thing now just want to meet the mini pickle x

@pickle162 Do you drive? A friend of mine said the only way she got her very overdue first out was by driving over lots of speed bumps.

Hehe yes I drive, I'll have to find a road with speed bumps 😂

Hey pickle how did your check up go? I'm trying so hard to think of anything but babies but now that time of month is creeping up again I can't help but stress about scans and meds and the dreaded waiting game to see if I even make it far enough to get to iui this time x

Ah it's so hard to think of anything else. Fingers crossed the next cycle goes to plan

Mini pickle is fine but living up to her name. Have got 2 sweeps booked for next week if she hasn't arrived 🙄 I cried...lots. It's like a different version of the twot-looking for signs and symptoms that aren't generally there.

Scan today at 7+0, baby too small and heartbeat not confirmed. Got to go back in a week for another scan but feeling heartbroken, I don’t think it’s going to be good news. It’s a lot too small.

Oh Tiny, I’m sorry the scan didn’t go as planned and that there is more waiting ahead. Will keep positive thoughts for you. Make sure you treat yourself kindly and take care. Xx
