Hi all. We're a group of first timers who've been plugging away on the conception boards for some time. The support here is amazing so if you're in a similar boat please jump onboard.

Time to hand hold through treatments and support each other through to becoming the mums we deserve to be 💪🏼🌸🙏🏼

Scan went well. Saw lovely chatty doctor who praised me for how quickly I got my kit off 😂 not sure how much a good thing this is hahaha. Scan fine uterus lining nice and thick ovaries where they should be.

Nurse showed me injections. I was like a retard asking her to slow down and show me again repeatedly. I take my last dose of Progynova tonight then should bleed over weekend. Start stims Monday with Bemfola then add in Cetrotide Friday. Scan again on 27th!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk

planegazer · 16/11/2017 14:36

Yay jam 😘 fabulous!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

OverinaFlash · 16/11/2017 15:25

Oh Jam that''s fab news! So excited for you!

Chlo22 · 16/11/2017 17:28

Brilliant jam, so pleased it's all happening for you! Glad the scan went well. Sounds like you're feeling good now that everything is getting started? Must be nice to actually crack on with it all.

Those journals are lovely plane, I LOVE a bit of stationary!

kwick · 16/11/2017 18:52

struggle screw the nurse!!! 🤬
When I was stimming I tried to have at least a pint a day 😬
Ah yes the delights of fanjo pessaries - I know them well 😩

jamon oh so Progynova stops AF? I have to carry on taking it after FET.
I am flying on Sunday from Luton... need to start thinking about packing.

kwick · 16/11/2017 19:03

Sorry I disappeared like that - suddenly realised I had not emailed the FC this morning as I was supposed to do!!!
Angry with myself barely touches on what I feel right now!!! 🤬

jamon 😂 were you well fast?

So excited for you!!!!

plane I ADORE stationery!!! Will check out the journals in a mo!!!

Jamon · 16/11/2017 19:46

Lovely diaries plane!

Thanks flash xx

Chlo I do feel better feeling like it’s moving on. Bit scared of getting my hopes up but at least it’s a change from Groundhog Day of TTC

Kwick yes I think it holds it off but some people breakthrough bleed. My lining is very thick so I think I would probably bleed soon too. Last ones tonight for me. What were you meant to email them about? Think you need to start telling us your to do list and we can prompt you 😙

Jamon · 16/11/2017 19:47

Oh and clothes off - yes I was quick - but partly because I had left my coat in the loo 🙄 and because wearing dress and tights so only had to whip them and knickers off! She was very impressed 😌😌😌😌

Great news jam - so exciting!

And kwick! Transfer is coming round so quickly! I’ll up my milk intake from today! Thanks for the tip.

Pyjamas81 · 16/11/2017 22:16

Your cake sounds delicious mouse!

What the hell is the fanjo cream for struggle - that’s a new one for me!

Great news jam! You’ll be well on your way very soon!!

Love the diaries plane 😁

Can’t believe your transfer is so soon kwick!

Good day for me today - haven’t heard back about second interview (I know they were interviewing others this week so not expecting anything yet) but had a good chat about a potential secondment to a different part of our firm with someone today. All these chats have shown me it’s definitely time for a change - whether it’s a secondment or leaving the firm completely. I need to get out of that soulless, life sapping team. It’s like my work laptop is a dementor - sucking all joy and hope out of me as soon as I open it.

kwick · 17/11/2017 08:15

That works for me jamon!!!
So my today’s to dos are:
-Dye my roots this evening

  • Pick out a book to take with me
  • choose clothes for trip
  • put washing on
  • find passport
  • decide what returning from recent shopping & pack up to go

struggle the reason it is so good is because milk is high in protein and calcium & is liquid. Blue is important so you have the fat to keep the calcium.

I actually feel a bit of fraud - apart from some scans and bloods I have not done much....

kwick · 17/11/2017 15:52

Where did you all go? Sad
Anyhoo just to let you know that I cannot take my laptop with me - IT will be reimaging it with Windows 10 whilst I am out! Simples!!! Wink

struggleisreal · 17/11/2017 20:55

Hope you’re all ready to go kwick.
Does this mean no Mumsnet while you’re away? Or just no working?

The fanjo cream is just an antibiotic one - I think you’re supposed to have it the days leading up to egg collection to stop any infections.

Second scan tomorrow - feeling a bit anxious and just hoping there has been some progress and we’ll have more of an idea when egg collection will be.

Kwick! Sending lots of good luck your way!!!!! 🤞🤞🤞

Struggle do let us know how your scan goes!! 🤞🤞🤞

Sorry ladies, had a lovely day out for DHs birthday today that I forgot my Friday positives!!! AND I’ve had 🍕 pizza!!!!

Soooooooo

🌸 I have a long weekend!!! Off today and Monday! Yay!!

🌸 over the last 2 nights while I made the cake I watched an entire season of RuPauls drag race. It’s funny!!!!! 😂😇🎂

🌸 I’m 7DPO and despite a bit of ovary area pains today I’m feeling good. Think I may have a cyst though as my left side is giving me jip. Temps are still rising. 🤞

Also, cake pic attached. Excuse the messy approach 😂😇

struggle best of luck for the scan 🤞🏼
No MN????? WHAT? No Siree!!! I usually use my phone for MN (unless be naughty whilst at work). Grin

Um so lemony the only item I ticked off my list was to dye my roots... Ibgit caught up buying a new thing for my flat...

See current and purchased pictures below Grin FFS STILL cannot load photos to this thread (but I can to others!!!) 🤬🤬🤬🤬

mouse the cake looks amazeballs!!! Looking forward to my slice!!! Grin

Chlo22 · 18/11/2017 10:09

kwick good luck this weekend! Is this a new clinic? I hate using MN on my phone, I can't ever remember what I wanted to reply to!

struggle good luck with the scan today, hope you get some progress and good news.

mouse that cake looks soooo good.

So I was hoping we'd have started the whole process by now but AF still hasn't shown up, did a test this morning and negative so just hanging about. Trying not to stress but now we've decided to go ahead, it's the one month I really don't want to be running the AF gauntlet.

Jamon · 18/11/2017 14:00

Safe travels and good luck getting PUPO kwick!! Passport ready please??

Hope the scan went well struggle 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Cake looks delicious mouse!!

Ah chlo how annoying why does AF torture us? Hope it comes soon.

Turns out progynova does not stop AF - I came on yesterday with a vengeance Angry thankgod for my new mooncup I love it

kwick · 18/11/2017 14:02

chlo do you have the app? I use that and can scroll through and keep my responses on track - I generally prefer to online.

I did my previous treatments (IUIs and IVFs) with CRGH. I switched to IVI after my second MC - I am having main treatment with IVI Spain and pre & post with IVI UK. Really like the way they have handled things thus far.

chlo put some white knickers on 😬

Kathrino · 18/11/2017 15:39

Just popping in to say good luck kwick! I’ve been reading along all the updates and hoping for lots of good news over the next few weeks. We’re gearing up to start in Jan - DH has got very enthusiastic about it suddenly but at the moment we’re just focusing on trying to get as healthy as possible (before we totally overindulge at Christmas...)

Lots of love to you all!

KerryLeanne84 · 18/11/2017 16:07

Exciting Jam! Glad everything looks okay with your lining etc.

Mouse is that carrot cake? My fave, it looks incredible!

Kwick good luck for the trip!

Chlo sorry your body is trolling you! Hope your period comes soon so you can get on with things

I've decided I'm putting my Christmas decs up this weekend - I need Christmas earlier this year!

JeNeBaguetteRien · 18/11/2017 17:39

Wow, lots been happening.
Suerte Kwick. Deffo look for your passport above all else!

Great news on the interview PJs. Even if it's just helped crystallise your thoughts on work.
You'll have to start looking for a floral frock for collecting your OBE from the palace.

Kerry sorry you have a wait to re-start treatment. I'm also having to wait longer than expected, it's pants.

Mouse please send me some cake if Kwick doesn't eat it all.

Jam glad things seem to be going well. Kudos on the fun shagging, I'm sure DH paid less attention to the frumpy bra than you did!

Chlo hope AF hurries up if she is coming.

Hope scan went well Struggle.

I can't scroll any further back without losing my post.

Have just opened a bottle of 🍷 and going to share with DH. He's still hopeful that I'll get pregnant before IVF... I wish he were right.
I'm pretty fed up of the whole thing really, lots of plans we had pencilled in for January / February now on hold as I don't know when scans will be. I wouldn't mind much! if I thought it would work but something special and time specific that DH wanted to do is now out the window and I feel bad for him.
I also wanted to book some flights to visit family but sod's law it would clash.

I had 4 days of mid cycle spotting. Never had that before, no idea what's going on or if it will mean a delayed AF.

I am determined to write some positives:
As above, have got my wine!
Found out I'm going to London for work in December, I love it so much, very envious of lots of you living there. Think I'll have to do some shopping.
I got some lovely new bed covers.
I had a really delicious dinner out last night, proper Italian food.

Hope everyone's weekend is going well.

kwick · 18/11/2017 18:54

Oh thank you @Kathrino !!!

You go girl kerry!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

jene I found both my British and Spanish passports!!! Result!
Sorry to hear that you have had to cancel stuff - it feels at times that I have put my life on hold for 2 years... but most of the time I can still do stuff

I had a fairly productive day (especially if you included watching about 5 episodes of EastEnders 😂) and managed to get all the papers together that I need to submit my tax return 😬 . I am as packed as I can be... getting excited!!!

KerryLeanne84 · 18/11/2017 19:06

Hugs JeNeBaguetteRien! It does suck. Where did you get your nice bed sheets from?

Safe travels Kwick!
