IVF Cycle Buddies July/August

[BiscuitBill]

I saw that we were nearly hitting 1k posts 😱 so thought I'd make a new one before we got cut off!
Hope everyone finds us!!!!

Biscuit I just stopped cyclogest last night thank god I absolutely hated it, gave me a dodgy tummy and was just yuck!!
I'm shitting myself in the waiting room at the clinic to get my pregnancy bloods done...do not know how I'm going to get through the day!
Good luck gamblers for ur EC xxx

Wow chiv just read urs, sooo jealous!! My best friend stays there and I'm hoping to go at Easter time xxx

leanne good luck, when do they tell you? I can't believe you didn't poas, now that's will power!!

Hi everyone

Sorry not been on here yet been living in s little sad bubble of my own the last couple of days. So Af has not shown a full appearance yet maybe just spotting but my tummy feels like it's on it's way. My breasts no longer feel as sore so I feel it's all over.

@leanne have you had any tests yet? Fingers crossed for you.

@gamblers good luck today.

@floofles. Thanks you for worrying about me. I eventually made it. Hope your doing ok?

@melbourneClown how are you getting on? Have the still moved your test date or are you testing Friday still?

@Lola84 Nope! The clinic is adamant that 16 days after transfer is the day to test , so I'm just hanging on - every little gripe, twinge, nauseous feeling I think "oh that could be a good sign... or it could be a sign that it's all ending". I honestly don't know. I think it's good that AF hadn't made full entrance for you yet. I think there still may be hope. Are you still on schedule to test on Friday?

@thegamblersmrs good luck with EC today. Everything crossed that they swoop in and collect a good clutch of eggs.
@Leanne1185 I'm thinking of you and almost have a wibbly- wobbly feeling in my tummy for you. We'll be here whatever happens today. Fingers, eyes and legs crossed for you.

What a great idea chivin. Go take some time for you. Sounds like a good excuse to shop :)

Been having some problems here the last two days when trying to have a wee, I get an instant pain that comes on as soon as I start to go but then disappears straight away. Like flicking a switch type shock. I swear it felt like my ovary flipped this morning. Or however I imagine that to feel.

Totally feverish in the night too. Not sure what to do.

How are you doing Leanne. Any news?

@MelbourneClown. Sounds like things are going good for you. Friday will be 15 days after my transfer and still got to test then but my clinic just gave me s test to do at home no bloods for me.

It's such a rollercoaster of emotions for everyone. It's exciting but so worrying. This 2 ww has by far been the worst for me.

@thirtyplusone. Have you phoned your clinic for advice? The night fever could just be all the hormones I felt like that too but maybe best speaking to the clinic just to double check.

Sorry you still have to wait till Friday Lola. Feels like a long time for you when you don't know what's happening.

I'll call the clinic this morning :(

With all your news I don't want to wait for my transfer now :( having my job interview yesterday I left feeling all like, I don't want new job, I want a family right now!!

@thirtyplusone. I'm sure everything will be fine for you it's always best just getting reassurance from the people that know. I felt stupid phoning my clinic but they said it's best as you get the reassurance you need. It's such an unsettling time for you and a new job too fingers crossed for you for that also. Don't let me put you off it's an exciting time and everyone is different it's just I have no patience 🙈

Good luck gamblers!

Bill I don't know which progesterone I'm going to take, but I'm sure I read that brown goop is a common side effect - I remember because I thought that sounded completely grim and the kind of thing that will make me panic!!!

Chivin that sounds like a perfect way to relax after the bad news of yesterday, I hope you get a good chance to process and calm
Plus vitamin d helps everything, especially when in the form of sunshine!

Lola I'm glad af hasn't made a full show, everything I have is crossed for you!

Thirty I'll be waiting for a transfer with you! (Well after you, but closeish) I have completely accepted the wait for now because honestly I just need to recover from how I feel now - I went on a dog walk this morning and 20mins in realised I'd over stretched myself. At the beginning of the summer I could run 10k 😭
Plus I need to get September under my belt I think or I'll have a nightmare of a year ahead of me!
How does the new job affect things? Will you still get mat leave etc? When does it start? Will it be a god distraction?

Out and waiting to go home what a weird experience!

Leanne so proud of your will power. I've everything crossed for you!

Hoping we are going out for brekkie somewhere!

Will catch up with the rest later.

Still no news girls it won't be till the afternoon x

Gamblers congrats on EC, how many did you get??
Lola the fact AF hasn't shown up yet is great news! I have read so many people who get AF like symptoms and spotting but still go on to get a BFP! Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 Friday isn't far away!
Leanne I literally speed read trying to get to the top to see if you'd posted any news! I'm on the edge of my seat!! Exciting times.. Everything crossed for our 4th BFP is it??
Thirty sorry you're feeling crappy, have you rang the clinic yet? I remember getting a pain when weeing but that was before EC when my ovaries were still massive.
The pessaries really aren't very glamorous are they 😖 I'm also on estradiol to help thicken my lining so I'm sure that comes with some side effects as well

Bill, there as 17 follicles. They hoped for
8 eggs but got 11 so fingers crossed. Phone call at 12 tomorrow to tell me how they are doing.

Pessaries to start tomorrow, cyclogest. They've said to lie down for 30mins after each one. No idea how that's going to go down at the wedding but I'll give it a bash!

Leanne I can't wait for your news. Don't the clinic realise there's lots of hormonal women waiting on this info 😂

Lola here's hoping the no show is a good sign.

Thirty I'd phone the clinic just incase its infection.

OH Away to get rolls for bacon rolls. Diet starts tomorrow. I promise!

Still pretty sure it's a negative! I'm seriously struggling at work still on knicker watch so hiding in my office 😫😫

Gamblers that's great! Waiting for the phone calls is so nerve wracking!
On Thursday I have to wait for them to call me & let me know what time to come in and how the thawing has gone & I just know I'm going to be a nervous wreck!
Leanne you've done so well not to test yourself! Stay positive! Did they give you any indication of a specific time??? I can't take the waiting much longer! If I'm feeling like this god knows how you're feeling lol 🙈😂

Aw leanne I really hope when you get your results you go home and enjoy poas and seeing them result!

Still not heard I'm actually demented and just want put out my misery now!! It's usually around 3pm they call so finishing at half2 to run and hide under my duvet 😂

Leanne are you waiting for blood results?
I'd need to poas!!! Or are you not able to?
Sorry, I wish I had a better memory!
Have you heard now?
My fingers are crossed!

I can't bring myself to pee test as Iv had a false positive before and really didn't want that emotional turmoil! Still waiting, going to phone at 4 if Iv not heard by then! Watching cbb with a cuppa trying not to freak out! Want put out my misery so badly x

Leanne you are so strong!

I'm watching 'something borrowed, something new' it's the epitome of trash tv but it is hitting the spot.

I feel like I've got a terrible hangover from the sedation, think I'd rather they have me a bottle of wine. At least I'd have enjoyed that.

Leanne just sat down for food whilst out shopping and 1st thing I did before even taking a bite was check to see if any update!!! Arghhhh I can't take it any more 😂

Come on Clinic!! I can't imagine how you feel. I keep refreshing the page.

...whilst watching Catastrophe. Has anyone seen it? It's way too close to home! so much eye rolling from me.

The one with the Irish girl?

We are all on tenterhooks today!

I take it there's no restrictions re body temp/blood pressure etc between ec and et? I really want to go for a massage. I've not had one whilst cooking my eggs and know I can't have one afterwards.
