IVF SEP/OCT Part 2- Get your Stretchy Leggings here ladies!

[Minster2012]

IVF buddies September /October continued, heading into November & wearing VERY comfy stretchy leggings & trousers (perfect for Xmas too!!)

Yippieee Harry!!! So happy for you!!! Are you going to have a blood test or a scan , as the lovely suggested? 🌟💫✨❤️

where

Harry that’s fab, I don’t really know how it’s worked out weeks wise and we haven’t really asked as we don’t want to tempt fate, all our clinic has said so far is that they do a scan 3 weeks after the 2ww BFP which is around 6 or 7 weeks (do not really very precise to us at that stage of talking!) I thought when you do the BFP you are 4 weeks?

Can you use this & count backwards?

atik that’s rubbish about feeling ill, what about hot water & lemon if you are worried about tea? Or do hot water in a bowl then put ur head over with a tea towel so the vapours go up your sinus’?

Aliona I knew you would!! Ha! I love my Chelsea joules boots have to be in shoes constantly atm to take little rascal outside!!

Morning everyone!

I am back in the office today after WFH and I feel so strange, it's like the whole 8 wks treatment hasn't happened and feel so normal. Did anyone else feel like this?

I mean I know it's only 2 days since transfer so perhaps I shouldn't feel anything but then that worries me as I thought I would have some cramping sensation (this is what your supposed to feel with implantation right?).

This waiting sucks!

dinks Yes we found out yesterday that were lucky enough to have 6 for the freezer which is amazing DH said last night he will get the mini bus ordered now! .

atilk Hope you feel better soon, honey and lemon tea im on that today as have a bit of a sore throat, try to keep warm and look after yourself.

harry exciting news yay!!

Love it Dbear!! 🚌🚌
It must feel very strange carrying on as normal, especially if ppl don’t know, but that’s the best thing, keep busy! I’m going to be a nightmare, I don’t have a day job, Aliona will be the same if still not working!! I’m going to start Christmas crafting! And obviously gindog & I will be making mulled wine & training!

I have joked to my friend from the afternoon of transfer I will be whatsapping her going “are you pregnant with our child yet?” She said it’s not even funny i’ll be getting twinges & I don’t know wethee to tell you or not! Plus she has told ppl she’s doing the surrogacy (because she lives an hour away our friend circles don’t clash) so she’ll get those questions off loads of other ppl too 🙈🙈

Minster2012 I am actually quite happy to be off work. Coz at work I have to lift things and run around constantly on my feet. I d be very nervous working and thinking I may do some damage. But I probably won’t last being off till 2 ww 😄

Atik sorry u feeling like 💩. How about taking some meds if lemon and honey doesn’t help. Surely you can take something?

minster Lol your right keeping yourself busy is the best thing ! IAs much as I can't stand work sometimes there are the benefits that it keeps me busy ! A few people know but only my boss and two close friends.

Ohhh xmas crafting I love it! I really want to make a xmas reef for the door this year (all the ones I've seen are to showy). I just want a simple pine, pin cones and dried orange / cinnamon with maybe a bit of tartan ribbon (i'm such a traditionalist). And Mulled Wine LOVE this!! although hopefully I wont be able to drink it this year .

We are starting on my built in wardrobe (it sounds grand but it's no sex in the city) I can step into it with one pace lol! But it will be enough for me I can't wait get it painted and have some rails for my clothes no folding for me!! yay!

Can only imagine lol I think I would be the same and would expect daily news feeds from her :) your have to set up a what's app chat baby watch ! lol

Ave got chest syrup nd otrivine nose spray a just hope day it's not guns do nuffin abt the estradiol wich a taking.. cz first time wen a gone for fet nd we was keep building lining a was ill nd a did drink lempsip nd take syrup etc nd den ma lining was poor...

Atikakck And you think it was poor bcoz of medicine you been taking? Talk to your doctor, there must be something available that doesn’t affect treatment. Bcoz when I was starting ivf and needed Dentist and was asking if it’s gonna interfere with ivf he said I was stupid 😂

Hello all :)

Yay harry great news 😃

dbear glad you're feeling ok. And it's great you have 6 in the freezer!

minster I love Christmas crafting! I love making wreaths and stockings. This year I'm going to do some bunting with the bags and bags of Christmas fabric I have in the loft. I've also got my sloe gin brewing but hopefully won't have much this year...

I've just had my scan. The consultant said my "lining is spectacular" which made us laugh 😂 there are now 16 follicles growing away so it's a trigger shot on Saturday, and egg collection at 9.15am on monday. It's all happening now! 😃 x

Harry that’s awesome!!! Yay!!!! Def get that scan, I’m sure the EPU can help you out, ours only accepts self referral from 6 weeks but you shouldn’t be too far off that?

Atik So sorry you are feeling rotten :( You poor thing, it sounds grim. Lemsip is just paracetamol and a decongestant, so you could try taking paracetamol on it’s own? That is def safe for IVF and pregnancy as they are always telling us to take it!!

Minster Gindog is sooooo cute!! Esp with the hot chocolate!! What are you going to craft for Christmas?? I made my friend’s new baby a christmas stocking last year, it was so much fun!!

Dbear Great news about the frosties!!! That’s amazing!! Your wreath idea sounds lovely, I’ve never made one but sounds fun!!

Aliona It sounds like a blessing in disguise that you have left that place... maybe it is all fate!!

Ooooh Rose get you with your spectacular lining What a funny turn of phrase!!! Great news though :)

atik I hope you feel better soon, it’s awful when you feel terrible

rose that’s so great!! What a spectacular lining!! Ha, fab, so are you having a fresh transfer? If so, you’ll be going for a transfer around the end of next week then? And in the wait with us!

And dbear the problem with baby WhatsApp as a few ladies on here and other threads have already shown, a lot of twinges, boob soreness and “pregnancy symptoms” could mean nothing so though she’s had 2 successful pregnancies where she says “she knew she was pregnant” she already says her boobs are killing her & so she doesn’t want to symptom spot & I don’t want to put her in that position. BUT OF COURSE I DO WANT TO KNOW EVERY TWINGE!! cos I wish I were feeling it. Tough one. jealous of your built in wardrobe!!

Oh and sloe gin you say....
We’ve just got a few litres left from last year...
And a few litres brewing from a couple of weeks ago!! (I just stirred it, on the left!)

Oh and dinks I’m crafting bunting out of dried slices of apples, oranges and satsuma which I dried on low in the oven and I’m going to string them on jute with rags of fabric and pine cones hang them on the beams.

And make a wreath and plant up some narcissus & “force them to grow straight” or try!! To make centre pieces for Christmas Day. And a wreath maybe.

Anything to stop me going mad in 2ww!!

And gindog has “sit”
She’s learning fetch too which is VERY important for a gindog when there’s THAT much sloe gin (let alone normal gin) in the house!! 🤣😁

Atik I am sorry you are unwell but glad taking good care of yourself

Rose wow this is great sweetie! Monday it is then!! Is your bag ready? Do you feel serene about the EC?

Harry this is great! Keep us posted! How are you feeling?

Dbear 6 frosties is totally amazing bless you! Your DH is right to get the bus ready!

Minster you seem to be a DIY master! You are very creative and hands on

lol ladies you all seem to be diy goddesses 😅 as I have some free time now I keep looking at one of the wardrobes where you hang clothes, but I d rather have shelves there. Should be dead easy, but it doesn’t go further than “looking at it” 🤔🙈

Thx ladies xx atm still on lempsip, chest cough syrup, otrivine spray nose nd honey lemon tea a hope it's not guna affect ma lining etc next app a hv on wendsday.. Sum1 sed dats it's gd to drink pomegranate juice, eat pineapple wid the core wich is inside nd Brazil nuts so a got dat, nd same time taking pregnacare vitamin d nd obviously estradiol.. Last times a took first 3 a day then they put me up to 6 or 8 a day will c if they do De same nw..

Thanks all :)

Yep, egg collection on Monday and then (hopefully) transfer next Saturday.

Our clinic won't make any plans until after colevtion as there other hurdles until egg transfer... So i feel really pleased, but it also feels like we have a long way to go still... But I have to say it's nice to know that there are follicles there, and that there are only 4 more injections to go!

But all being well minster we will be in the 2ww with you 😃

rose so exciting well done you on the specatular lining! 👏🏻👏🏻 Fingers crossed all goes well for EC next wk and I remember that feeling of the last injection pure bliss!

Even better you have minster to be in the 2 WW with 😊

Night everyone have a fab wkend!

Good news got good line progression and pregnant 1-2 on a digi so feeling reassured and relieved for now. It's going to be a long worrying journey ahead but for now everything looks good!

harry glad your second test looks good!! What did your midwife say? I've booked an appointment with my GP for Monday as don't know what else to do in the meantime

dinks how are you doing? What are your injections for and how long do you need to continue it? So cute that you've nicknamed it pickle!

minster Nige is a great nickname! Everyone ok for transfer next week? You're such a talented person. Your Christmas crafting sounds amazing.

aliona how does it feel to be a lady of leisure?

atik sounds really rough. Are you feeling better ? I don't know how true it is about drinking pomegranate juice, eating pineapple core, Brazil nuts, avocado. You can find so much stuff on line and there really isn't much evidence for anything. I have to say I had pomegranate juice and lots of beetroot as it's supposed to help with lining and implantation.

dbear I know what you mean about feeling strange going back to work. It's like stepping back into a whole new world and no one is the wiser except you! Hope you get through the 2WW. Well done on 6 frosties!

rose eek it's all happening now! Good luck for EC. Great to hear you have spectacular lining!

Have a good weekend all xx
