Was also checking in to see if you got your results Mandy! Fingers, arms and legs crossed for tomorrow!

Bear1980 · 30/07/2018 19:10

Fingers crossed for tomorrow mandy I also just checked in to see if you had your results. I hope they don't leave you hanging too ling

Mandy002 · 31/07/2018 11:10

Hi guys got a result back 490 hcg unverified (as it was fast tracked) as yet but the nurse said once it's been verified if it does go down it will only be a tiny bit! Let you know later what they say but phew! 😅

Smithguy86 · 31/07/2018 12:53

That's brilliant news @Mandy002 congratulations!!

Bear1980 · 31/07/2018 13:28

Thats amazing mandy hopefully puts your mind at ease a bit now. Is that you done with blood tests or do you have another one?

Mandy002 · 31/07/2018 15:08

Yes feel much better now. Blood tests done but been told to book an early scan on August 10th. Actual results are back to ... hcg =490 and progesterone = 126.2 dosage of progesterone hasn't changed so the baby is kicking out it's own supply to make that number go up like that so that makes me feel even better. Thanks for the support guys and for being there x

Bear1980 · 31/07/2018 15:10

Great news mandy and 10th August not too far away Smile

PaisleyBE · 31/07/2018 15:24

Fab news, Mandy !! I'm so happy about your good results. Smile Have you been testing also at home in the meantime?

Geluksvogel · 31/07/2018 17:38

That’s great news Mandy!!! So happy for you. Smile It’s completely irrational but it feels amazing starting my own journey on a positive from someone else!

TinyPaws · 31/07/2018 18:20

Fab news Mandy, really happy for you. Must be such a relief!

I'm plodding on trying to save money and plan IVF. Clinic not ringing back again! Feeling really low about the loss of our little bean, I hate not being pregnant.

Great news @Mandy002! Hopefully the next few months go wonderfully smoothly.

I can't wait to start my journey - feels like I'm killing time waiting but at least I've been offered a job (salary is beyond crappy so IUI will be funded by a raid on my pitiful savings and begging for birthday and Christmas money at every opportunity). 😬

pickle162 · 01/08/2018 22:57

Congratulations @Mandy002 that's fab news! Hopefully a nice sticky bean :)

@SallyA1 I used care- I had medicated iui (albeit a year ago) and was about £835 for iui- around £200 (if I remember rightly) for meds and I got donor sperm from a different place which made it more expensive but I think if got from care was around £750 so looking at around £1800-2000 ish a try.
My amh was 9 so imagine protocol would be around the same although different clinics may still have different protocols

Good luck everyone, I'm so behind but think of you all often, especially my little pal @Bear1980 xx

Hey @pickle162 it's nice that you still check in occasionally 😄. I'm still plodding along, hopefully have FET soon but body taking it's time this month so may need to wait a while longer. Hope little picklet is doing well, she must be getting big now? X

pickle162 · 02/08/2018 17:22

Mini pickle is good, she is rolling now (including rolling off the sofa and ended up in a&e 🙈 15weeks & a day old-it goes soooooo quick.. this time last year almost to the day I got my positive pregnancy test 💕

Hope the fet goes well bear 🐻 x

Thank you all. Good luck with your transfer @Bear1980 .@pickle162 she's adorable! Hope everyone is ok. Congratulations on job @AnotherGin .
Quick question. I just had some jelly like discharge and quite worried it's a bad sign. Has anyone had this before? Is it normal?

ButtonMooooon · 03/08/2018 21:51

Oh my Pickle 😍

Thanks it seems to have petered off for the most part. The clinic emailed and said to take another vial of lubion at night and also said it can be quite normal.

Mandy002 · 04/08/2018 17:45

No such luck back with a large clot and red bleeding. I think I'm out 😭

TinyPaws · 04/08/2018 19:04

Oh Mandy, I'm so sorry.

Keeping everything crossed that your little bean is somehow hanging in there.

Massive hugs to you.

Bear1980 · 05/08/2018 09:03

Aww mandy thats heartbreaking. I'm keeping everything crossed that everything is ok. Take care of yourself x
