IVF - A supportive group of ladies at various stages of the ivf journey.

[Dbear35]

A super group of women supporting each other and sharing their personal journeys and experiences during the IVF processs. All are welcome !

Atik Oh boo to hurty boobies but it's surely a good sign ! I think Actimel and other yoghurts containing live yeast cultures are fine providing the milk has been pasteurised so to exclude listeria.
The 18th will be here before you know it!

P.S. Message above is for Minster! I forgot to tag you lovely.

Atik Sore boobs don’t go away I’m afraid!! Mine are getting bigger by the day, and that makes them sore :( It is a good sign though!! Yogurt is 100% fine to eat as long as it’s from pasteurised milk i.e. you haven’t milked your own cow and made your own yogurt 😂😂😂 I actually found eating more protein helped with the bloating.

Dbear Glad you had a great time in Brixton!! I have only ever been there once, to visit a friend long time ago. It was in the dark so I have no idea what it is actually like lol. Bad timing for you and NYE!! I know for IVF they said no alcohol after stims started, and essentially treat yourself as if you were pregnant from EC onwards. I guess with FET you don’t need to worry about growing eggs, but maybe the week before start cutting out the usual suspects you’re meant to avoid in pregnancy?? I don’t think diet has any effect, other than that. Things are coming quickly for you too!!

Aw Minster I wish wish wish I was as organised as u r. I still haven’t bought a single present for my OH 😱 in fact I don’t have a clue what to get him.

Dinks It’s so pretty when it’s snowing but it’s chaos.. imagine snowing like this all winter? Then what? No jobs no transport nothing? Shame that u feeling unwell but it will all go away eventually and u can pig out on anything u want 😀

Dbear that’s good u enjoyed your evening.. no food pictures hmmm lol not like u 😅😅 I saw u plannng on meeting with other ladies 😱 how crazy it’s going to be, many many total strangers!!

How’s Star?!? Disappeared! Also who else? Otters? Scots how’s things?

I have not a single pic in a frame at home 😐 I need some inspiration!

dbear my friend took pregnacare & folic acid and when her lining was a bit thin she started to drink pomegranate juice. From 4 weeks before FET she basically stopped drinking but we had always said one or 2 drinks here & there we didn’t think made much difference so if you wanted a couple over Xmas & new year then I personally don’t think it makes a jot of difference! And just eating healthy that’s all. Your Xmas decorations look gorgeous, very classy!

Thanks dinks that makes me feel a bit better about the progesterone, it’s just a big change, and she’s still taking eostrogen too so it will then be cold turkey, which we want, we want the baby to be reliant on her obviously but it’s a big challenging step to go no meds!! You must be so leased to then be over 12 weeks, but again yes more tests to check!

atik your boobs will get bigger & bigger!! Ha! Keep OH away!!

In other news one of my other best friends & bridesmaids had her DS2 on the 7th, gorgeous!! So I get to go see them soon, and DH has just asked me to make a hanper for someone including some baby girl rompers as he’s just had a baby....so he wants me to go buy baby rompers after our 7 week scan. MEAN!!!

Hello everybody!

Woke-up to this beautiful view today, it was fantastic! Had a Christmas lunch with PH's family as his sister will be away for Christmas and we played games back home. Very nice indeed! Yesterday I cooked a little, went for a gentle walk, lunch at a pub and chilled with a couple of films and my love 😍. A relatively stress- free WE. I do feel tired easily, this I have noticed. I am dreading going back to work tomorrow 😬.

Albeit the tiredness I am feeling fine, just want to do nothing apart from reading or watching a film. Tuesday is looming and I feel for fine now, not scared, but I want to know, so not long to wait now.

It was lovely to catch-up with all of your posts.

Dbear when I got to the meditation I wanted to sleep but after felt amazing and awake. I simply love it! Exciting with your journey starting on the 28th!

Atik you make me laugh with your boobies !!! 😂😂😂😂 I hear Kefir is very good for nausea and everything to do with the gut.

Dinks and Rose sorry to hear you are not feeling great still and good luck with the scan tomorrow! It is bound to be amazing!

Aliona did the weather remind you of home?

Minster wowww the scan next Friday how awesome! I can't wait for you to share your magical news with your loved ones.

Lots of love ladies!
😘😘😘

Nice to hear from u Star 😊 puppy enjoyed walk this morning. Did weather remind me of home? Yes coz it was snowing and no coz it’s all wet and dull. Not exactly the same. But hey! Still was great to see snow, was super excited to take dog out.
Tuesday already?! Wow time goes fast! I know what u mean. I couldn’t understand how something soo small, something that not even visible on scan can make you sooo tired. Mental! But it all looks good. Fingers crossed xx

star that looks beautiful! Not long to go for you, sounds like you are having a lovely restful time which is perfect how fab, I love your attitude to life!!

Aliona I’m organised as DH’s birthday is also in end of November so I think of what I’m getting him for both bday and Xmas together, what does OH like? Budget? Let’s help! My DH has got boring stuff he wanted for shooting which he already has so on Xmas day he only has a pair of shoes & boxers to open!

Morning
Minster 😩 mine even more boring. He gets so tired at work that has not energy for hobby. All he does for himself is playing xbox. Got tonnes of games on his bday. He mentioned trainers too, but that’s not fun for xmas gift 😐
-watches?
-I don’t wear them!
-gym stuff
-gave me funny look
😁😂😂 so I am ready to gave up. Put a bow on myself

Aliona Xbox? or Xbox1? LOL LOL This is the industry I work in! LOL LOL

Dress up as his favourite character aliona and give him a set of “treat” cards! I’m doing something like that for DH, naughty scratch cards, having worked out how to make scratch cards which will be part of our baby reveal for family I’m going to make some naughty ones for DH!!

Obviously Star may be able to hook you up!

Star 😅😅 oh my! Maybe I can get you to have “take a baby to work” day organised for him ahahah I bought him Xbox one instead of his Xbox last xmas. And bought few games for bday (he still on his 2nd) so I am out of ideas. Also I am absolute moron in all this 🤔

Aliona do you need ideas for presies or games? I love Misnter scratch card you MIX!!! lol lol

MINX!! lol lol

Star I do need ideas 😩
Minster haha I just asked him who is fav character and he was mumbling things like “I don’t have one”. After arguing for 10 min lol he said Blade lol so I am dressing up as Wesley Snipes this xmas?!? Lol

Ha ha yes dress up like Wesley! So funny!

Does He like Star Wars?

Star duh lol Every time I switch channel and accidentally find Star Wars I have to hurry and switch channel so he doesn’t notice otherwise I will have to watch it for 27484836 times 😅😅
Minster if I do that-u getting a pic

So maybe something to do with Star Wars? I love Star Wars too and so many things around! Just trying to help! X

Star lol I am sharing a bed with a man who sleeps in Star Wars pijamas and have Star Wars sleepers 🤣🤣 when I say I run out of ideas I mean it 😂😘😘

Star Haha this bathrobe is good. But I can see him haunting me each evening wearing that 😳😳

Well the new film is coming out soon. Make is a night he will remember! Including the minxy part! Get ticket from a huge London cinema like the Leicester square one, meal and stay over somewhere? Or go back home and dress up as Princess Lea.

Otherwise if he likes speed/or something else there are some of these experiences vouchers...
