Awww bless Atik I am so happy for you! Are you resting at home now?

Well i just got a call and they will scan me on Friday and will probably EG on Monday! Getting sooo clooosseeee ! Was expecying it to be Monday, but I think teh Consuktant looking at the blood test they think Monday will be fine. I guess Monday's scan and blood test will determine the best approach and when Smile, so more stims for me!!!

How is everybody?

RoseWrites · 22/11/2017 16:48

Great news atik

star your results are amazing. Lots of follicles and a good lining. Yay :)

But star I can't believe you have never been drunk or hungover... my life and social life is mainly based on good food and good wine 🙈

Minster how are you feeling? Hopefully you have managed to spend some time outside the bathroom? Hope you feel better soon. And how's your friend? She must be feeling so happy?

dbear I have really enjoyed acupuncture. I'm glad you have too. And I cried the last time I went after embryo transfer. I'm not sure what those pins do but you feel much better afterwards!

I went to my office today and thought I was on the mend, but then felt awful this afternoon so my OH came to pick me up. I'm now tucked up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and a documentary about stalking... not sure when my life became so wild! 😂

It's OTD tomorrow. I have tested everyday and the line gets stronger, but I can't help but feel a bit nervous. But we are also letting ourselves get a bit excited now and think about when we might tell our families... I just want the phone call at midday tomorrow to happen so I know what is happening. Not long to go now- eek!

xx

Starlumiere · 22/11/2017 16:58

Rose I am sorry you are not feeling 100% yet, but the good news is it is for a good cause! Tomorrow at midday will be confirmed what you know already Grin. I don't drink alcohol but OMG I do eat! I lovvvveee my food! Grin

I am very sorry all, I did not make sense at all on my last message. I sounds like I am drunk ha! Obviously what I meant to say is that with what the Consultant said I thought he will go for this Friday, but I guess I looked ta the blood test and believes we can wait a bit and Monday should be fine. On Friday at 9:40am I will know more and if it will need to be before Monday.

I don't like how I am feeling right now, so leaving work to go home. Need a shower and a good meditation Grin

Speak later all!

Dbear35 · 22/11/2017 17:19

star I would say your plan is on point and results are all good too! I had EC after 2 scans but that's because my follys were big (mostly 20's and 12 of them) and they didn't want to leave me to wait. If the hot guys says wait until Monday then OK more stims for you! I hope you don't become too uncomfortable, keep it chilled Smile

rose I really hope that you start to feel better soon, rest up and will be thinking of you tomorrow OTD whoop! I hope all this emotional acupuncture will be worth it and my next try will be a success like you!

atik that blast looks amazing!! it's got a sticky hand out just for your lining Smile now relax and let the OH look after you.

minster glad your feeling better too! Just focus on the BFP you've just had ! Smile

ella welcome again! Hi! feel free to post whatever you want on this feed, everyone is at different stages and we all know what you are going through it's a really tough thing! chin up Smile

I really hope that each on of us ladies on here succeeds with our mum missions I really do ! xx

Scotslass01 · 22/11/2017 20:37

Hi all,

Sorry I've not been on. Missed so much. I've tried to catch up but there's just too much.

I did see @Minster2012 your BFP omg I am supper happy for you hunny that is the most amazing news. After all you have been through you deserve this. I'm absolutely delighted for you.

I hope everyone is doing well.

X

RoseWrites · 23/11/2017 10:06

Good morning all :)

Hi Scotslass :) hope you're doing well?

I have just had my bloods taken at the clinic to test my HCG and beta levels.... OTD is here. I get the results in a few hours. EEK.

When I got there, the nurse took one look at me and said "urgh" at my stomach. She said she thinks I have OHSS and took a ton of bloods to analyse what is happening. You guys called the OHSS quicker than the clinic did! :)

I was up in the night in excruciating pain so hopefully they'll get the OHSS thing sorted, and hopefully my blood test will indicate a nice strong pregnancy... only 3 hours to wait for the phone to ring!

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

Starlumiere · 23/11/2017 10:17

fingers crossed for you sweetie and I am so delighted they will be taking care of this OHSS for you my dear Rose. All the best darling and let us know XXXXX

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 10:38

Good luck Rose ❤️ And “urgh”?!? Is that what the nurse said? I would have kicked her in the leg 😅

How’s everyone?

I am feeling like a human again 😅

Starlumiere · 23/11/2017 10:57

LOL LOL Aliona you are crazy but I laughed so much!!! I would ahve told her "Excuse me ? Are you talking to me? That's not really professional or reassuring!"

Yes you are feeling like a human we can see that !!! lol lol lol

So what are you doing today? X

RoseWrites · 23/11/2017 11:00

Ha! Aliona and star she did say "urgh" in a concerned way :) I think she was a bit surprised that I hadn't been in before... I wish she'd been the one I spoke to on the phone. Oh well, hopefully it will get it sorted soon. Better late than never I guess!

She did make me feel better by saying it shouldn't affect the pregnancy, so hopefully everything is going ok, and our little embryo is nestled in away from the cramps and pain!

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 11:23

RoseWrites “I wish u spoke to her”, well that’s just proves it, even when u get turned down in hospital-have to try again. Bcoz different people treat you differently. Hope they will help u and your little baby is settled there nicely.

Star I am being a housewife today, have to clean up. Have friend coming over tomorow. And tomorrow day time I am determined to start applying for jobs (lol very determined but u never know how I feel)

RoseWrites · 23/11/2017 12:34

it's a confirmed BFP for us :)

Blood test levels are 600. No idea what that means but apparently it's strong. First scan in 2 weeks... yay :)

Thanks to everyone for all your support and encouragement over the past couple of months :) xx

Minster2012 · 23/11/2017 12:56

That’s awesome Rose!! 🌹💐we knew it!! 2 weeks! That’s great, and I hope they properly looked at you for the OHSS, did you get anything? When’s the scan then? Ours is 13th Dec, day after our wedding anniversary!

I’m in hospital today being checked out by my oncology team as I’m still not well...it’s DH’s birthday today...we were meant to be going for a meal tonight. 😞was going to end up being a bit of a double celebration but oh well can celebrate next week just need to check there’s nothing weird going on with my treatment

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 13:28

Great news Rose!!
What a bummer Minster ☹️ I hope it’s just a stupid bug and nothing to do with the treatment u having xx load of love

Dbear35 · 23/11/2017 13:34

Hi Scots how are you and little bean?

Rose amazing news another first timer!! I'm so pleased for you! Smile and how exciting about the scan eakkkk! Lets hope that they sort your OHSS out pronto!

Aliona you make me chuckle ! ....I think you should go for a job as a nail technician given the amazing job you've done on your own! Smile.

minster I hope that this bug is nothing serious, sorry to hear your missing your DH b-day meal...but your be able to celebrate soon! keep us updated.

I am a little sad today I don't know why, so went to the gym for a workout which helped boost the mood a little but cannot stop thinking about not succeeding on my first IVF.

I know I shouldn't be hard on myself but I feel like failure and I keep seeing baby bumps everywhere, like they are following me! I desperately want to focus on the positives and remember we have 6 frosties ...but my next FET seems like a long way off.

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 13:44

Dbear35 Nothing wrong in being down now and again. In fact it helps me to be more positive. Usually I would watch something depressing and have a massive cry and then I feel like life is good again 😄 but gym sounds like an option too 😅
Don’t get yourself down, bcoz next year u will be with the bump and u have an opportunity to have some bubbles this new year. In Russia we do this, when the countdown begins for midnight, u have to within this time to write your wish on tiny bit of paper and burn it (so have lighter ready) chuck the ashes into your bubbles and drink it! It works!! although I never manage to burn it well and chewing on paper at the end 😅

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 13:46

Dbear yeah u right, I love nails and was thinking many times to sign up for some course, But.. i have nooo imagination whatsoever so will be a lousy Nail technician. Let’s leave this job to creative people

Atikakck · 23/11/2017 14:23

A just rang ma clinic to sort out blood test nt they sed 1st December.... It's seems too fast tho?

Aliona19 · 23/11/2017 14:31

Hey Atik how r u feeling? You had 5 day transfer so in 10 days they should be able to detect the righ hormones by blood test. And you had frozen transfer, so probably there is no risk in detecting anything after trigger shot. Maybe that’s why they do it this early 😘

Starlumiere · 23/11/2017 14:49

Yeahhh Rose I am so happy you finally got the confirmation you needed! Fabulous! Now on to the next stage, relaxing and getting ready for Christmas! With, of course, the scan in between Grin such great news, so happy for you Smile. What did they say about the OHSS? How are you feeling?

Dbear sweetie, that’s great! You are sad and what? You are preparing, aren’t you? So if you are, it means you are getting rid of all the nagging gremlins filling your mind with negative thoughts/doubts. This is part of it and if you are going to Acupuncture you have to expect the after effect also, it helps to open your meridians (energy passage) and the new flow can overwhelm us. In my book this is great news, because it means you are letting go/cleansing. Soon enough you will feel lighter Smile and ready for the next cycle, you will see honey pie. Be patient and kind to yourself, the IVF process is very intense as you know so a lot to let go! You are doing really well sweetie. Don’t be worried or afraid of your emotions. They are part of you. Embrace them and they will go a lot faster Smile. You should be proud of yourself!!! Flowers And yes – you have 6 beautiful frosties yeahhhh !!!!! Whatch Love Actually or something, eat popcorn and have a glass of wine Smile.

Minster oh no, shoot! I am very sorry to read you are still poorly and at hospital. I know you are a tough cookie and in no time you will be out of there celebrating your double D!!!! (BTW I am not talking about bra cup sizes).

Aliona lovely to see you are back to the crazy Aliona we know and love Smile. Good luck for the job search! Do you need help?

Atik awwww it is all happening sweetie! Fingers crossed! How are you feeling?

Love to all XXX

WhatWot · 23/11/2017 18:11

Congratulation Rose! Smile

Atikakck · 23/11/2017 18:20

From Morning a feel sickly BT it's to early for any symptoms tho..

Aliona19 · 24/11/2017 12:28

Morning people! What’s happening?
Minster! What happened at the doctors?
Atik you feeling ok?
Star are you having scan today?! Help in job searching? 🤔not sure how you can do that 😅 by kicking my butt off the sofa?
Everyone else?

Minster2012 · 24/11/2017 13:18

Afternoon ladies, still at the hospital for me, trying to get to the “bottom” of the problems so to speak...but been waiting for hours now to see a doctor or have more tests this morning and nothing sometimes it’s so frustrating!

Hope everyone else is good....Aliona off that butt, stop Black Friday sofa shopping & get job hunting!! 😁😁

Debar everyone has down days it’s part of the rollercoaster, sunshine always follows the rain don’t forget! Don’t be hard on yourself xx
