But like I said I emptied my diary to make sure I can completely relax and practice my the many therapies I trained for. OH just called me to ask what the verdict was, as he had to leave early this morning to help a friend and he got so excited bless him. Yes you are correct, the 13th is very soon. How is your Acupuncture going? How are you feeling with it all?

atik congrats on your BFP!!!!! Soooo exciting!!! How are you feeling? How many did you transfer ?

star great news about the fertilization.* Fingers crossed for your transfer.* Will there be a choice of how many or just one? Welcome to the pessary hell - I think it's actually worse than the injections!!

minster sigmoidoscopy does not sound fun! Hope it goes ok.** How are you and how's the pregnancy progressing? Any scan dates coming up?

rose I'm glad to hear that you are better.**

Hi to everyone else.* Sorry I haven't been able to keep up. Hope you're all ok.*

I'm doing ok.* Will be seeing midwife in a few weeks time and have a scan mid dec.* Feels like a long time to wait but everything seems ok so far so just have to keep the faith! I'll be 8weeks tomorrow yay!

otters we transferred one, cudnt more cz of ma age X BT all the tym feeling like a doing summa wrong nd dat again a will miscarriage..

Otters thank you honey. 8 weeks tomorrow, wowww time flies! Tell me about these pessaries, I never it'd I am about to pass wind or you know right? 😬😱 I am the opposite of Atik, because of my age they recommend to transfer 2 and I am very happy with that. We will see what they say on Thursday 🌟💫✨😁.

Atik if I could I would eat for you, as it is one of my favourite pastime, but I can't. You need to eat sweetie! 😘

Am all the time bloated a fink cz of dis pessaries... But if a cud atleast fart wud b nice but a cnt even do dat

Star “u know the people” sounds terrifying 😂 will I have to give this people my soul after?!?
As for pessaries I am kind of looking forward this “wind” part 😂 payback for my other half 😂 I swear men born with unlimited supply of it. Anyway I am yet to discover the fun of sticking it up my 🍑
Haven’t done anything for xmas. Have no one to buy gifts for. OH maybe. Bcoz don’t have passport can’t travel home so not spending any money. Don’t have any anyway 😅 so all for a reason
So u going to put possibly 2 embryo?!? I would say “omg twins” but then u and your energy will probably easy handle even triplets 😅
Oh and embryo glue, I have been reading about it for past 2 weeks.. so many mixed opinions..personally I wouldn’t bother.

Atik don’t worry if u not hungry, baby will take all that needed from u atm. And I do understand your fear..I misscarried once and now that’s all I am thinking about.. that’s it will be happening again and again. Can’t help it. But we have to just hope for the best 😘

Otters very exciting! How r u feeling?

aliona haha yeah they did born wid it lol mine OH saying dat he keeping me warm loll but a can't give him bk cz even tho am bloated nuffin comes out lol
Ma doctor told me to take two b4 bed but sumtyms a go bed at 9 sumtyms at 10 sumtyms at 12 so isit don't matter? Or am a doing it wrong

Aliona I understand your past experience is haunting you, but can't you see somebody to help on this before you start? Surely since you are on NHS they have Counsellors for that no? I highly recommend this sweetie, it is important you heal this as much as possible. 😘.

Atik I have no issue with the passing wind business!!! 😜 This is so no elegant!!! 😂😂😂😜😂

atik congratulations on the BFP amazing news and give us ladies who haven' been lucky first time round some hope! Keep relaxed and chilled and try to eat even if its soups ....I recommend prune juice I promise it helps!! I got mine from Tescos.

star What were you doing up at 5.44am !!!

Not long now until you find out when ET day is eakkkk! Have you had an update today? Gosh 2 that's amazing I asked my clinic if I could have 2 but they said not on your 2nd go.

Embryo glue - I haven' t read up on but on my first ET I asked what the solution was that they had around my embryo and they said embryo glue so not sure if it's standard in my clinic.

otters mid December will be here before you know it!

minster The dogs are just too cute I want one so bad!! Is that a navy blue kitchen I spy, god my DH is desperate for a navy blue kitchen they do look lovely and we are currently looking for builders to quote for an extension and kitchen but I keep telling him we can't have navy as our place is too small!

Starlumiere I have mentioned it before, Star, I was waiting for this help for 7-9 month now. Been told September but we nearly reached December. I also spend so much time knocking on their “door” that I can’t be bothered anymore. Just have to suck it up and deal with it. How r you feeling on your day 2?!

Dbear I wake up fro my practice , quire early I know ! No update today and yes 2 indeed. They said to me they recommend 2 because of my age so I am down with it!

The Embryo glue is comprised in my package so we will have it but wanted to know everybody's feeling about it. I know I will find out tomorrow at around 8:30am. Very exciting!

Aliona flipping heck that's not good at all!! I wish I could help....Well I am not sure if it is because of the Pessaries or not, but I am feeling pretty crap today! Like PMsing! Heavy/confused head, a bit bloated and in a rather sh*tty mood, if I may say so myself...I feel like meh, a big MEH.... How are you feeling?

😅 Star, must be one of this days. I am feeling meh big time. Just one of those days when u questioning everything.. am I doing the right thing? My OH pissing me off for past 3 days 🔫🔫🔫 dryer and boiler broke and I have no hot water today 😤😤 puppy go into bin and left paw print all over the flat (flour from yesterday’s cooking) argh!!
Don’t know why feeling this way. Maybe winter blues

Just saw on instagram a girl lives not far from me, speaks Russian, had quadruplets 😅😅😅😅 looking at pics, just crazy how they managing this

A fink am dat bloated, dat wen this air going under ma stomach it's hurt lyk a period pain nd den a getting worried

Hi lovely ladies,

I’m so sorry I’ve been absent, I’ve had a tough few days. I started feeling really dizzy on Monday night, and yesterday I started cramping and bleeding, like a proper period. I called the EPU and they brought me in today. I’ve seen the baby and it’s fine, but they can’t find any reason for the bleeding. At the minute it’s a “threatened miscarriage” and there is no treatment except time; it will stay, or it will go. I just have to rest, and pray.

I’ve missed everyone’s news, but will try and catch up later. I’m just home from the hospital and need a sleep. xxx ❤️❤️❤️

dinks aww darling!!!!!! u stay in bed... In Poland wen a woman is in situation like dat they take her to hospital for sum tym she laying in bed only were she can go is toilet nd bk to bed nd they just watching her... Don't know y they not doing dis here!!! U just lay down nd don't do nuffin.... Xxxxx lots of love xxx

Oh gosh Dinks this sounds dreadful sweetie! Like Atik don't do anything AT ALL!!! Just rest and watch lovely films and eat well. We will pray for you too sweetie pie, bless you 😘😘😘

dinksandbinks 😰 god u must be terrified.. I would be. I agree with Atik, hate the way they deal with pregnancy and possible miscarriage here.. 🙏🏻 For you and your little one ❤️❤️

Thank you my lovelies. I feel so weird... it was amazing to see our little pickle, but I am so terrified that it could all be taken away, and for no reason except bad luck :(

Atik I read about your BFP!!! I am so happy for you, though you are a little naughty testing early ;) ;) Did you tell your clinic? Btw I was at Jimmy’s today, where you had your transfer. I was wondering where you would have gone for it! This is what I was occupying myself with in the waiting room... Also wondering if Minster was there too! Minster I hope you are ok, and feeling better.

Star It is so exciting about your embryos!! I hope the stars are aligned for you... it certainly seems that way so far. Though I think you are mad for going back to work, you must love your job ;) Btw on embryoglue, I looked at the stats and it didn’t seem beneficial enough for us to pay for it - if it is included, I would go for it!

Aliona What a day you have had too... no hot water??? How are you staying warm? Do you have electric heaters? And puppy is so naughty... I’m sorry you are feeling meh. I get winter depression so I know how hard it is when it is so cold, and dark, and wet... this is not a nice country to be in winter. Plus your passport still not here 😢I know it is meant to be terrible for your skin, but in some winters I have used sunbeds once a month to remind myself of warmth. I did find it helped, but I don’t think a GP would ever recommend it 😲

I am feeling a bit better, I have had some toast and peppermint tea, and am watching a nerdy programme about archaeology. Cramping has calmed down and it’s just brown spitting now. I hope it stays like this, or better still, goes away. Nurse said if I stop bleeding, there is a 95% chance I will keep the baby. If the bleeding continues, then it is more like 50%.

I have a desk job so at least there will be no strenuous work effort tomorrow and Friday, then the weekend will be spent lounging around with movies. I will try and borrow Polish wisdom and do as little as possible!

I am so grateful for your thoughts and prayers, I honestly would lose my mind if I didn’t have you ladies to talk to ❤️❤️❤️

Argh spitting = spotting. Stupid autocorrect

Aww Dinks I really pray for u. Horrible feeling. Not only fighting so hard to get positive result, but also have to worry sick and can’t enjoy the pregnancy.. so unfair!! Well good news that it’s slowing down. At the end of the day there r 1000s of women that bleed during pregnancy xx big hugs xx
Watch some celebrity 😅 I don’t think Warren Fox showering enough under waterfall 🙈🙊
And I know what U mean when u was wondering if minster was there or Atik. Every time I go out-keep thinking if there is any of u around 😂 so weird. This girl Elisabeth with bad hyper stimulation, she is on the other thread now. She posted her Instagram name. Very pretty girl, I was imagining her different 😅 just proves I suck at this guessing game 🙈

Oh no, @dinksandbinks I’m so sorry to say I know how you are feeling at this exact moment, as we are feeling the same...

I haven’t been on the thread today as had my sigmoidoscopy which ended up being changed to LGI but last night we have had the same as you...I wasn’t going to mention it until we have heard if it it ok but u have given me hope...my friend & I were whatapping last night at 9.30pm & all of a sudden she said she went to the loo & was bleeding.

She has started bleeding, mainly spotting & cramps. It’s just over 5 weeks.

We’ve got a scan at early pregnancy assessment unit tomorrow morning at her local unit & we hope it’s the same as dinks, that it looks ok, measures ok for time but they say it’s not hugely unusual to get bleeding at this stage especially for FET but of course it could lead to miscarry.

We were all numb last night & today & DH was a mess today & I was too at the procedure it’s all too much at once but this is most important to us. God hope it’s ok.

So pleased you got to see bean dinks, IVF is a roller coaster & a big worry but our clinic have said bleeding is not unusual due to the irritation from pessaries & meds is not what a normal pregnancy would involve... so worry may continue but we are strong 🤞👍🏻

Love & hugs to all
