IVF/ICSI May/June 1000 posts plus :)

[Cauliflower82]

Hi peeps :)

I’ll hyperlink this to our old thread so we can continue bitching about crystal82 😂

I can’t believe we’ve almost got to 1000 posts. I didn’t even know that was a thing - thank you @kittykatsmile because I had no idea it would just max out and I can NOT go on without you all. That’s not even an option.

@BellaD85 I was thinking of you all day yesterday 😞I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending you lots of love x

@Welshpugmomma yes I think bloods pick up sooner.

Omg there's a photo from the awards last night taken at such a bad angle (from below the stage) and I look dreadful. Huge chins and everything. I hate it. I've put on so much weight and now I'm worried if I am pregnant how much bigger I will get.

@Ginandtonic31 nooooooo photos from below are NEVER flattering! Don’t give yourself something to worry about - you’ll be absolutely fine.

@AliciaWhiskers - that's great news, I bet that your shoulders are feeling a little lighter today.
Oh my boss was back to being nice today #bipolar!

@BellaD85 - I am so sorry, but your DH sounds like a star. Sorry I am really bad at knowing what to say.

@Ginandtonic31 - its the hormones, they make you have a double chin, I've got a little fluid pouch under my chin, so I doubt you are as big as you think. Good luck for tonight, but I have a feeling you are going to have good news.

I am starting to think that I've f**ked up my stimming shots, it's day-9 today and I have no bloating, no pain, I've had a few twinges where my ovaries are but that is it. Sorry for the TMI but I started to get the overvaluation discharge yesterday so I fear that tomorrow's scan won't be good news.

@BellaD85 I’m so so sorry - it’s such a sad time. It sounds like you and your husband are strong and you’re absolutely going to get through this. Sending you loads of love.

@mrbay there’s nothing worse than someone who can decide to be a cow and then decide to be nice. Worst type of people. Grrrrr

@Ginandtonic31 not only am I a little bigger but I’ve noticed I’m oiler too 😭 oily hair, oily face, spots ☹️. Bloody hormones, eh. I just wanted to pipe up and say that my friend had a positive blood test a few years back when she did ivf but the day she got her positive the manual frer at home still wasn’t showing up so be cautious tonight. I don’t know if that helps or not.

@RRoonilWazlib the sucking up is definitely real 😯

@Zest11 hope you perk up this afternoon. This whole wait just sucks. I kind of like the state of oblivion I’m in at the moment BUT I just desperately, like us all, want it to work. I had a bit of a cry today watching the handmaid’s tale when Serena was talking to her mother about the worst pain in the world.

I hope I haven’t missed anyone.

@Mrbay I had no bloating or pain, just twinges. And the discharge is normal! It's the oestrogen!

I have a therapy session tonight but I don't think I will concentrate!

@cauliflower82 - the drugs have had me oilier both hair and skin. I've started to use Nip & Fab's new range (pink bottle) and it is fab, my skin is starting to look much clearer. I'll feedback soon on the shampoo I've brought (well I did buy 3!) and let you know.
Ref the boos, she is a tricky little fish!

@ginandtonic31 - thank you! I nearly called the nurses to ask but questioned if they would think I was odd - I think they already think that!

Good luck with your session tonight.

If anyone wants a laugh, I am currently dying of shame at the thought of showing the nurse my under carriage tomorrow morning. I rode in the wrong knickers last night and I cannot describe how bad my butt cheeks look. The nurse is going to wonder what I have been doing!

@Ginandtonic31 best of luck with the test. Re concentrated urine -just try your best not to drink much liquid-hard in the heat I know.

@BellaD85 I’m so sorry to hear your news. It’s such a sad, sinking feeling. Take this time for yourself and DH. Drinks in the sun sound a great idea. Since my chemical/miscarriage I have been eating terribly and having some drinks and it feels great. Every cloud hey!

@RRoonilWazlib I'm okay thank you, how are you? How are you keeping your mind off things? Being bloated is a good sign I believe! I'm not feeling anything except the odd, mild twinge which I actually think is my ovaries shrinking back to their normal size as it's the same feeling I had whilst stimming.

@BellaD85 I am so sorry to read your update. It must be such emotional turmoil. I am glad you have had a few drinks and your husband is being incredible!

@Cauliflower82 thank you, yes bit better now. I took your inspiration and got loads of work done today so I feel I have been productive at least! Did you get much done? Will your last two weeks at work be busy or winding down?

@Ginandtonic31 thinking of you tonight and tomorrow!

@Mrbay hope the scan goes well tomorrow. I only noticed some twinges too (and the EWCM) so don’t be too worried that you haven’t had pain or bloating. Is this your first scan this cycle? Made me laugh about wearing the wrong pants for cycling - I’ve done that before when Running and got some very nasty chaffing! Thankfully didn’t have to reveal it to anyone the next day though!

Oh, and was anyone mega hungry post EC? I have eaten SO much today.

Therapy was strange with the hypnosis! But we are going to work on me being happy with myself etc. I ended up being there more than 2 hours!

Test done. It's a BFP. I'm shitting myself.

@ginandtonic31 yayyy congrats :D

Oooooooh @Ginandtonic31! Congratulations!!

@Ginandtonic31 bloody amazing. Well done you xx

@Ginandtonic31 many congrats!!

@Ginandtonic31 I’m so glad I tuned in before bed, yaaaaaaaaay congratulations this is amazing news, I’m so happy for you xx

@AliciaWhiskers I’ve been hungry ever since EC... still am now.

@Zest11 no I didn’t get much done - I’ve not been good. I must change my ways tomorrow. Yeah work will be super chilled once I go back. Are you taking test day off?

@mrbay good luck tomorrow :)

Thanks guys. I'm going to be honest. I'm pooing myself!!

@Ginandtonic31 that is amazing, congratulations!! So happy for you! Please keep us posted.

@Cauliflower82 tbh anything we do now is a bonus before September :) not taking test day off as I feel like it will be better to be busy (and I have an easy day!). I think I will do what @Ginandtonic31 did and test before so I'm prepared. I'd hate a negative phonecall. Are you?

Lol creasing at Love Island and how Curtis said he wants to be the one that makes coffee for everyone in the morning to get them up!!

@zest11 I’m torn, I can’t quite decide what to do. It’s been a tough day emotionally if I’m honest - I hope tonight’s sleep pulls me together.

Night everyone 💤

@Ginandtonic31 excellent news. So very very pleased for you

@BellaD85 oh hun I'm so sorry, that really sucks. So glad you've got your husband there. Big hugs xx

@Cauliflower82 hope you feel better today! Xx

@Cauliflower82 @Ginandtonic31 how are you both feeling today?

When are the next OTDs? Or don't say of course if you don't know how you'll feel about sharing.

Happy Friday lovely ladies x
