MINSTER THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! X

In a meeting, really boring, so kept looking at my phone..don't usually do that BUT well on IVF drugs so ICSI what I want! OK??? 😜 Anyway my boss goes "are you expecting an important call?" to which I replied "in actual fact yes I am, can I be excused, I think I have given you all the data needed". He said yes sure and now I am out to send this....

I feel great today, a bit hot but all good.

I keep thinking about you Minster and you friend!!! Sorry to hear your are poorly sweetie 😍😘😘🌟🌟🌟💫✨

OMG !!! YEAHHHH !!! So happy for you Minster!!!!!!

minster yay!! this is epic news!! congratulations !! so so pleased for you!! I even had a little tear too! hope this BFP starts to make you feel better soon ! xx

Dbear thank you sweetie, my next scan is tomorrow at 9:40am so we will see when EC will be then I guess. You know sweetie, I completely understand you want to get on with things, but I believe this time will be about preparing for it . Whatever you want to do, going out, gym, running, Yoga, Cinema, Theatre, eating good food an d drinking good wine, Acupuncture, Reflexology, Meditation, whatever makes you smile. If you do that I promise you, you will feel strong . I know it is easier said than done - but you are starting officially next month so it is not that long now, although the meds and all might be in January - it will all come very quickly . Be happy sweetie pie

Aliona you are a darling . I hope you are feeling better and having a good time with your friend? Soon it will be your time as well sweetie.

Rose have you gone to the clinic yet?

Minster the 21st of November will always be a special day . How are you feeling? You must have all cried of happiness! What now? I am truly utterly happy for you, really

Atik are you feeling better today sweetie?

Thank you all so much! It’s really weird, so much of an anti climax as I’m still throwing up & shivering so totally not how expected a magical pregnancy moment to be 🙈🙈🙈😱

Thank you lovely ladies!

rose how are you?

Minster! That’s being pregnant for you. Maybe you just syncing in with your friend and sharing the feeling ) you pregnant and you being sick. It will go away soon, I am sure it will. Enjoy your happy news, think you have made everyone’s week ❤️

Star I am just about to start my nails 😅 meeting friend after 4. I think I need some of your meds, bcoz I am feeling cold ⛄️

ALiona Yes you are correct Minster has made our week . You are doing your own nails? OMG I am so rubbish at these things! You are a lady of many talent my dear . Yes you can have some of my meds if you wish, I can guarantee you won't be cold honey pie! . I have been wearing skirts since last Thursday and believe I am tad bloated, but no discomfort. Enjoy your time with your friend sweetie!

Starlumiere Lol I don’t even remember when I wore skirts. Each time I go out-I look at my boots and then go “nope” put trainers on and puffy jacket 😂 always freezing, can never feel my hands and feet. dodgy broken Russian 😂

How on earth can you be cold in the UK when you are Russian? Honestly in the winter I can do Moscow easily but St Pete - I am like OMG ! It is almost like my trousers are walking on their own! That's freezing!!!

Do you like Ginger? If you do ginger tea or just a bit of ginger would warm you up sweetie

Just popping in very quickly to say a massive congratulations to Minster, such wonderful news after all that you've been through. I may have shed a little tear of happiness on your behalf, x

Lol Star u answered your own question))) Moscow can get really cold and your greens turn into snowflakes but u still feel ok. St Pet is similar to London, wind, wet, just goes through your bones..I never used to be like this, after thyroid surgery things went crazy and I am always cold.

Hardy 👋🏼👋🏼 Hope you doing well xx

minster want to say a huge congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 SO happy to hear your news and hope you feel better soon!

We had our ‘viability scan’ today and saw a good heartbeat.* Everything measuring as it should be so fingers crossed it continues to grow and develop as it should.*

Hope everyone else is doing ok 👋🏻

Ps not sure what happened with the bold there. Sorry bold fail

Yaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!! Minster that’s amazing!!!!! And throwing up & shivering and hideous headaches has been my experience of pregnancy so far so looks like you’re getting to experience the fun bits 😆😆!!! I’m so so excited for you!!

I was just sat in. meeting room with no signal and was getting really irate with my phone lol. So glad it finished now I’ve read your wonderful news!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congrats minster! very happy for you!

Honestly thank you so much everyone, u have been so amazing & fun to keep me sane!!

I’ll catch up when I feel a little better (seeing doctor this aft) but yes lots of tears were shed, we just hope it sticks obviously, but also it’s testament to say you only need ONE!! We only had 2 embryos & couldn’t believe we now have one more in the freezer...here’s hoping we don’t need it yet.

My friend has gone to get more dioralyte....she’s the best, DH had to go to a meeting grinning from ear to ear!! We have many “hidden pictures on my phone”
OMG!!!!!

Off for a snooze, Love to you all, 💕😍😁

hi dBear, are you planning an FET soon? We are now researching for clinics in the north for our next try. I dont know how much it will cost with drugs, ICSI, etc. We always had to do ICSI so far because it ts the male factor. If anyone has recommendations I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Minster I really hope you feel better soon! You guys must be absolutely over the moon. As everyone has said, you have made our days (weeks!) too! :)

Otters so glad things are progressing well for you :) At what stage do you have the viability scan? is it 6 weeks?

Dbear it's great to hear that you have got a plan :) And book yourself a holiday - you deserve it!

Whatwot I'm not sure if you are planning on a fresh or frozen cycle? I get muddled about what the F actually stands for! We were like you and have had ICSI. I also had the "scratch" beforehand as part of a clinical trial. As it looks like our cycle has worked (fingers crossed that's confirmed on Thursday at OTD!), I will definitely have a scratch in future. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks everyone for asking how I am. I feel SO much better today. I haven't cried yet which is a massive improvement on yesterday!! i am going to see the doctor in 45 minutes. I'm really hoping that I'm over the worst of it as the pain has subsided loads, however my stomach is still massive and it now hurts to breathe in... I shall report back on what the diagnosis is!

I'm still smiling about Minster's news!

Hi Rose, I missed the clinical trial for the scratch, I didnt know until our cycle had started. We will definitely do it next time.

Haha I thought F was fresh! No we have no frozen at all unfoetunately so we have to start again.

what I get really confused about whether the f stands for fresh or frozen... I'm sure the more informed women on here will know!
Are you changing clinics?
And the scratch is totally fine, like longer version of a smear test, but with gas and air to make it a bit more fun!
Our clinic does them if you pay, I think it's about £100. X

Awwww 💫I deserve it no more than anyone else lovelies.

FET is frozen embryo transfer, our clinic...wait for it, this will blow aliona’s mind.... is in Hull. We live East Yorkshire and they are fab, getting us in exactly when we wanted, testing progesterone the day before transfer, (though I’ve since found out a clinic down south needs it to be a lot higher) giving extra shots of progesterone “just in case, just to help it get a good grip if it can”

Very good, I don’t know prices as we were NHS but can find out?
