Hello IVF fiends
Potatoes oh fuck, I’m so so angry at the world on your behalf. I really hope everything gets sorted medically or that they get you in pronto. And as for the acupuncturist, fucking hell. It’s beyond a joke. Ugh. So sorry you’re having to deal with layers of shit upon shit
Bip hope you are having ALL the Old Fashioneds
icy please please please write a column. Your way with words is too good just for us lot to enjoy. I absolutely pissed myself laughing at your response to that absolute fucknut of a poster.
Vixx so glad you’re finally getting going. I didn’t get any headaches while down regging for my aborted attempt at a long protocol cycle for fresh. Drink lots of water! I did get even more grumpy than usual. My diplomacy filter went out the window so basically I was like how I was when I reacted to that mumof2 poster, except in real life. Only got one bollocking from work for my short temper, which was quite good going considering
sammy hope you’re being kind to yourself. It’s shit.
karla good luck with the meds. I had mine for my second cycle delivered to work, in a massive cool box that looked like it was expensive wine because it said ‘fragile’ and had wine glasses on the side. Sadly, at £2k for a few syringes, I worked out that my Gonal-F was drop for drop more expensive than some of the fanciest vintage champagne at £233/ml or thereabouts
grumpel Hoping there’s less mouse juice, I think four puddings is definitely mandated in such situations.
Laura hurrah for the magnificent six. I shan’t do the ‘it only takes one’ line, but it, er, does really only take one. My consultant said he’s had women with 18 eggs and no embryos, and women with one follicle, one egg, one embryo and one baby. And you have 6 potential people!
Waves to everyone else
AFM well, I think it’s fair to say I went off on one at that total moron mumof2, think she was safely dispatched. Diplomacy filter set to zero
I wrote a suitably polite but shitty email to my consultant’s secretary about sending us the autopsy report of our dead baby, suggesting perhaps they might like to send such reports in a separate envelope with a warning that couples might find the contents distressing.
And asking that when the genetics report is done please don’t send us the results in the post, can we get them in person at our follow up consult in 3 weeks time. The report will tell us whether it was a baby boy or girl, and if it was my body that killed the foetus and not due to chromosomal abnormalities, I don’t really want that through the post either
After worrying about having no bleeding post ERPC, finally kicked in on Sat which at least means it feels like my body is trying to un-pregnant itself
Got my BBT thermometer out of the drawer which was fucking depressing. Will probably start to piss on sticks at some point, because otherwise I won’t know if I’ve ovulated, and if so when so I know when to expect a period, for the purposes of planning our next cycle
Whether that’s FET or fresh with PGS I’m going back and forwards about twice a day
Difference is £10k but possibly avoiding BFN or miscarriage again. Argh.
Can barely believe some people have some sex and get a baby 9 months later
