Also waiting for next cycle to start, think had mittelschmertz this week so hopefully next cycle will start in a couple of weeks, but it could just have been a tummy upset, I have had a fluey bug.

Partner is on nights at the mo and not supposed to leave the base so I haven't seen much of her and won't spend a night with her until next weekend, I miss her.

Ttc2017 · 14/01/2018 11:48

Ah tiny paws fingers crossed you get af soon! I thought I ov over a week ago had all the symptoms but then has positive opk this week so set me back a bit hope time goes quick for you till you'r partner is back to!

Wonky35 · 14/01/2018 22:52

Fingers crossed for tomorrow kwick. I’m really hoping this is the one for you.🍀

Mandy002 · 15/01/2018 06:31

Good luck Kwick will be thinking of you xx

kwick · 15/01/2018 18:58

Thank you ever so much for all the well wishes 😘

All went smoothly- actually probably easiest treatment yet but I guess after 11 my fanjo has got used to it!

Good thing about doing FET is that it is less than 2 weeks of torture. I am all stocked up on FRER!

Feeling very crampy today, I think my period will start in the next couple of days - it's not due until 29th January!

Excited but also terrified! I wasn't expecting this so soon! Might need to bring forward a meeting with my boss!

Ttc2017 · 19/01/2018 14:35

Eeek that's good news tiny paws I'm still waiting for my bloody af to show up! Lol really hoping it hurrys up so can get started have even tried drinking ginger in boiling water (gross) as apparently it can bring it along

pickle162 · 19/01/2018 17:50

Exciting tiny and ttc I remember that urge for af to arrive and then as soon as get the bfp so scared af may arrive. Try not to get too stressed about it and she will arrive soon enough

kwick · 20/01/2018 04:30

Sound advice @pickle162 seems like it is always a waiting game!

OP posts:
pickle162 · 20/01/2018 05:44

My af when I came off the pill was regular as anything as soon as I got near to the treatment it went up the wall because I was so anxious about it coming on a certain day and what would happen if it didn't etc etc- they ended up putting me back on the pill so they could make my body do it at a certain time

Ttc2017 · 21/01/2018 09:45

Ah no its horrible isn't it mine has always been pretty regular but I didn't get a positive opk til late this month but I'm not sure if I actually ovulated as bbt are a bit all over place I don't know how long to wait it out and if I go docs to get something to bring it on that take a while to don't it as don't they give you pills to take for few days and only one you stop them does bleeding start?

Mandy002 · 21/01/2018 09:57

Thanks @pickle162 and @kwick.
My af came on time this month but I totally panicked as last time I was taking buserelin I had no af for 6weeks as the scratch brought it on early. So I thought I had done something wrong. The clinic were amazing though and got back to me straight away. I just really hope I got enough of the meds in me with nasal spray. I sometimes wonder if its all going where it's supposed to go. At least with the injections you know full well it's getting in there!
Hope everyone else is doing well with their cycles 🤞🏻 for many many bfps in 2018!

Wonky35 · 21/01/2018 11:01

Unfortunately the waiting game doesn't finish once you get your bfp! The whole time I seem to be anxiously waiting for the next milestone - 12 week scan, 20 week scan, when you feel baby moving etc! I hope you twot has not been too awful kwick. Fingers crossed for your otd.

Mandy002 · 21/01/2018 11:33

Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience of blasts not surviving the thaw? How likely is this to happen? I feel a bit stupid that I didn't know this was possible and now it's got me super nervous! 😬
