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!!)

atik if it’s just water then you are coming to the end of it, keep hydrated by drinking half a glass of water per half an hour, it helps to keep it in your system rather than drinking loads all at once. Unless you have something called dioralyte which is a very ‘safe’ diorrhea relief sachet which replaces the minerals you lose. Alternatively get your OH to go get some Lucozade lite. Not the fizzy sport one, the lite one. It has isotonics in it which you lose when dehydrated & is v good when run down, have lose bowels or very good for a hang over as well. I’m meant to drink one per day due to my treatment I get dehydrated & my system doesn’t absorb minerals as well so it replaces the isotonics without loads of calories. Good stuff for anyone to drink (sod your coconut water, sorry star!

So yeah we’re testing tomorrow morning then, no the nurse said to us when we asked on transfer day if it had to be first wee of day & she said if it’s OTD or later then then the result will be accurate anytime up to mid afternoon as we asked about my friend “keeping her first wee in a pot!” And she said don’t do that, if it’s second wee that’s fine, drink a drink on way over & it will be the result it is by that stage. Another reason why we left it to OTD or later as we are 1.5 hours away from each other!! 🤣🤣😁we didn’t want her to be FaceTiming from a service station!!!

To say we are nervous doesn’t even cut it. Gindog is watching me down nervously sipping wine as we speak!!

No doubt OH will still manage to sleep tonight though! 🙄

Oh my gosh Minster you could know tomorrow!!! How do you feel? Eeeeek!!!

Rose Go down there, your GP can’t do much, you need a scan to check the size of your ovaries and the amount of fluid that’s there. Tell them you insist or you’ll complain to HFEA.

Atik Could you call your clinic to see what remedies you’re allowed to take? It does sound pretty unpleasant :(

Aliona poor you with the period from hell. Double bad news of having to wait and having more periods in the meantime. I must admit one of the attractions of pregnancy for me is no periods. I hope you’re ok? Chocolate, cake and wine? You should get your nails done as a treat!! Get someone else to make the effort if you feel crappy. Hope you feel better soon!!!

Ha rose I love the idea of a bunch of angry hormonal French, Russian, Yorkshire, London, Polish MNers all laughing in a clinic at once! Raucous!! 😁🤣

Minster it is so exciting! But I appreciate it must also be completely nerve wracking... I am keeping everything crossed xx

Thanks Dinks for the nudge! I will go and say I'll complain to the HFEA! First no tea, and now no appointment. Dreadful service! :) But on a more serious note, I do think if I'd spoken to a different nurse I might have been seen today, the nurse I spoke to today could not be bothered to pretend that she wasn't desperate to have her lunch and go home...

xx

Dinks I have been saying “I want some wine” for past hour and didn’t get anywhere 🙁 he doesn’t love me today that much 😆 don’t like getting my nails done outside as I Hate the feeling of them being filed, just brrr. His days you can do shellac at home. But right now I just want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Minster this is really exciting! We ll be updating this thread tomorrow every 5 min 😆 You should go live! 🙃

Rose sweetie, next time send me the number and call on your behalf and then you'll see if you don't get an appointment 😬😬😬 bless you, I had a tea and Oh had biscuits as well this morning 😘

Aliona aw sweetie , is it that bad? Can't you take anything for it!

Thanks everyone, DH took me to M&S and we bought the naughtiest treats there. I still feel sad but yes we will try again, just maybe not that soon. I haven't given up just yet, I need to think that to keep me going. I wish you all the best of luck in your journey

WhatWot 👏🏼 That’s the spirit. Rest and enjoy holidays that coming and you will know when u r ready for next step. ❤️

Star just a bit over the top.. but it’s first day so maybe get better tomorow. I don’t usually take pills for pain. It’s bed time soon, will be ok, thanks ❤️

So pleased you got some treats @whatwot lots of 💕& hugs from us all

And aliona it’s horrible to hear our little fiery Russian feeling bad, sending lots of puppy love (here’s one from today of puppy playing with another dog I look after on a monday, a jackapoo called Trevor who she met for the first time today!) and yes I will of course update MN as a matter of urgency even if it’s bad news, but it won’t be til mid morning (you can all have a Lie in!) your nails will be pretty soon when you feel better xx

rose even if you feel better I still think you should go to the clinic, you paid for it, don’t let that nurse and her lunch break put you off!! Don’t make excuses for her...my friend would be cursing her lack of compassion!!

Lol Minster, Trevor looks like he is getting strangled 😱 my nails r half way there, I took it all out and ready on the table 😅 if I had wine I could have done it now but no one is looking after me. Meant to be seeing my friend tomorow after abt 3 years. She let me down big time before..don’t know why I am doing this, guess we all deserve second chance.
Only good news for you tomorow! ❤️❤️

It’s a friendly hug Aliona, a friendly hug, Trevor lived to be picked up by his owner! In fact, it’s the only time I’ve ever seen Trevor quiet after playing with her she wore him out!! As did my other dog! Sorry you have no wine...I don’t either now, my glass is somehow empty???? Go on do your nails!! Everyone does deserve a second chance, the years might melt away you never know! 😁

What a tease u r Minster 😤 every time I look at your pic I want to cry 😅 feels like you live in a palace. So much space. I live in a box compared to you 😅📦📦📦📦

Aliona if you moved up north you could live in a palace!!! My brother lives in London & his place is worth way more than mine & yet mine has much more space so it’s all relative!!

Minster want to one day, not ready now, but very tempted. Might become your neighbour 😈 no escape for you, have to babysit puppy and possibly a baby🙃

Minster I just wanted to send a message to say GOOD LUCK! I'll be thinking of you all morning. I hope you managed to get some sleep :) xx

Everything crossed for you 😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😘😘😘

See Minster, told ya we will be watching this thread like hawks this morning 😅 good luck to you!!

Minster I have everything crossed for you today!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you everyone, to add to the tension (& horribleness) I have joined the ill brigade, having a night of throwing up, sweat pouring & diorhea too & not stopped so much that I now cannot walk for cramping muscles as no minerals in them. Unfortunately every once in a while, if I’m stressed my treatment has this effect.

And my friend is stuck in really bad traffic, OH going spare trying to help me (keeps saying “u do look really pale”) & swapping sick bowls & giving me dioralyte & saying “she’s really adding to the tension isn’t she!”

He’s now walking dog, puppy finished trying to destroy nice furniture & now cuddling me...

To be continued...

Hold on tight Minster ❤️❤️ Let’s hope all this sickness-that’s the last bad news for you and from now on-only positive, happy things going your way ❤️

What a morning Minster! I really hope you feel better soon xx

I'll be thinking of you all morning... FINGERS CROSSED xx

minster I have everything crossed for you (I set a reminder on my phone to message on here) ...keep us updated! and I hope this illness is just from the nerves and once you have your BFP all will be calm.

Rose sorry to hear your suffering recently and hope that it improves, keep on at the clinic..congrats on your BFP tho! amazing news, was it your first time?

Star slow and steady wins the race your follys are doing a grand job...not long to wait now!

whatwot sorry about your result take some time out to heal and grieve , look after yourself, treat yourself and focus on the positives. I'm just getting over my BFN a few weeks ago..finding meditation is helping and planning my FET.

Aliona sorry to hear your also suffering hopefully after you've had your nails done and seen your friend things will be brighter.

I've have my FET plan and have first meeting on 19th Dec ...like Aliona I wont start treatment until day 21 of my Jan AF ...seems like such a long way off!! I need a holiday!

dinks hope your all good and things are progressing well

much love to all! xx

So yeah, on the best morning of our lives so far I still feel shit!! 😁😁🤣🙈😍💕🌟
