You aren't wrong there wonky! When mini pickle doesn't move for like 3 seconds I get worried. I actually think the worrying gets worse. I'm 29weeks tomorrow but so unbelievably scared something will happen so am on constant countdown till next Midwife appointment. Next scan isn't until 12th March which is just a lifetime away

Keeping everything crossed for lots of bfps

Smithguy86 · 21/01/2018 18:25

Hi all,
We have our consent appointment on Tuesday it’s been 2 long months since when book it! I’m just hoping that olthet will start our treatment on my next cycle as I don’t think I can wait any longer!

kwick · 22/01/2018 07:59

I hear you @Mandy002 the nasal spray was not my fav med - hard to know if you have taken enough.

@Wonky35 yep it is a waiting game. And if I am lucky and get a BFP this time I know I will be very anxious until after the viability scan and probably even 12 weeks. But by going with donor eggs I have given myself the best chance possible to avoid another MC.

Good luck x

Smithguy86 · 24/01/2018 22:35

Good luck quick and tiny paws! We had our consent appointment yesterday I’m due to ovulate next week but have to wait on the results of my rubella test coming back before we can start!
Hoping they come back by Saturday otherwise they won’t allow us to start on Monday!!

Ttc2017 · 24/01/2018 23:17

Gutted still no af rang clinic and they said to start taking norethistone to bring on bleeding as it's been so long now and no sign of my body doing it :( just fed up as by time have taken the stupid pills and waited for bleed it will be over two months since last period and I had it all planned in my head for this month :( plus the pills are meant to be horrible side effects especially mood swings which is no fun for my poor family tried parsley tea hot baths hot compress everything and no luck so looks like mother nature has won at the moment

pickle162 · 25/01/2018 01:14

Awe ttc that sucks 😔 I was on norethisterone before my 2nd cycle & apart from being a bit grouchy no other side effects at all so try not to panic. This journey really is a bitch and before you jump on the ttc train you think ah I'll be fine I'll go with the flow and then you start and it consumes every second of you day and nothing goes to plan (especially when you try and plan) but just keep on fighting, you will get there sweetie. just keep venting to us as we ALL well and truly get it & will be here to support along the way x

kwick · 25/01/2018 07:50

@LRDtheFeministDragon how are you my lovely? And thank you!!

Thank you also to all you lovely ladies! I feel very supported.

@TinyPaws exciting times!!!!

@Smithguy86 how frustrating! Any chance you will get the results before OV?

@Ttc2017 what a fucker. I do not recall having any major side effects with Norethisterone.
What Pickle said.

Bear1980 · 25/01/2018 10:47

Aww ttc nothing ever goes smooth. I had norethisterone for my first ivf cycle and I didn't have many side effects. I was very tired and sore boobs but that was about it. Hopefully you will be the same

Ttc2017 · 25/01/2018 12:58

Ah thank you guys feel like all I'm doing is moaning at the moment! Did you feel the norithserone affecting weather you were successful that cycle I'm just worried it might mess up my chances x

Smithguy86 · 25/01/2018 13:38

Hi Kwick
The fertility nurse is hopeful they will be back by sat but I’m not sure! Hopefully has I really don’t want to wait another month. The most frustrating thing is that we waited 2 months for our consent appointment if we had of been told we need this test I would have had it done before the appointment!

pickle162 · 25/01/2018 15:23

I got pregnant on my norethisterone cycle 😊

LRDtheFeministDragon · 25/01/2018 21:44

I'm really good, thanks, kwick! Still waiting around here, but we've an appointment on the 1st, so not long now before they tell us whether we can start trying or not!

smith - oh, the waiting is the worst! I get so fed up with the 'what if ...' thoughts when you realise you're behindhand.

Smithguy86 · 26/01/2018 12:19

Just got the call to say my results are back and we are good to start on Monday! Feeling excited but nervous at the same time, just hoping that we having missed my ovulation 🤞🏻

Ttc2017 · 26/01/2018 19:29

Gd luck Smith is it iui you starting mon or ivf?

I finally got af today before starting norithserone! :) never been so happy to bleed before haha rang clinic and got baseline scan on mon which will be cd4 because they don't scan over weekends that won't affect my treatment will it sure I'm over worrying lol but thinking you meant to start injections on day 2/3? But then again my last two cycles have been long so maybe that will affect when I can have the iui anyway! X

pickle162 · 26/01/2018 19:38

Wahooo @Smithguy86 fab news

Yay @Ttc2017 that's brill! No don't panic Baseline scan can be done day 2-5 and then depending on regime of injections they may start that day or the day after

So excited for you both :)

TinyPaws · 26/01/2018 19:55

Good news Ttc2017! I'm starting injections tomorrow (assuming scan etc is all ok) so only 2 days ahead of you!
