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.

@AliciaWhiskers no I think it's just a bad cold, timed very badly. I've a snotty nose I can't breathe through and the cough is just barking and annoying and means I've no voice. I'm obviously just a wimp 😂

Definitely try the clinic for a prescription. Most say 12 weeks for cyclogest and the oestrogen.

@Ginandtonic31 not a wimp at all! Horrible when you feel rough and can't really take anything. Hope you feel better soon.

Is everyone here on cycylogest for 12 weeks?

@AliciaWhiskers well you should be on cyclogest until either OTD or 12 weeks, yes.

I did say I needed it for IVF, yes, just said I'd run out and they were fine. It's super convenient too as they just send the prescription to your nearest pharmacist and they then text you when it's ready to pick up (if memory serves).

My prescription still hasn't arrived in spite of being posted last Wednesday. My clinic can be fairly rubbish on certain things. I keep sending them emails saying 'you seem to have managed to add additional stress to something that is already inherently fairly stressful.' Aggressive Keith....

@Zest11 I’m so sorry - I’m hoping that it’s just too soon to test for you. Remember my friend who got a positive on otd with a blood test but frer was still saying no!

@KittyKatSmile what other kind of stuff can Keith get?

@Mrbay how did you scan go this afternoon? Work was good - it was nice to get back and I get on with my work people incredibly well. Lots of laughter too which has been super nice.

@aliciawhiskers yay 😁 you have one on board.

@AliciaWhiskers I stop cyclogest on Thursday, positive or not, my clinic says.

@Cauliflower82 is Thursday your OTD?

@Aliciawhiskers it is, yeah. I’m feeling okay so far. I’m not testing early. In all honesty, since getting back to work today, I’ve not thought about it a great deal. It’s when I home that it consumes my pretty little head 😂

@Cauliflower82 gosh, sorry for the bum steer Glad you've had a good day lovely x

@mouse1234567 awww thank you for your kind words

@Cauliflower82 glad you had a good day backmat work. I happy to be back too and it does make us stop thinking about things!

@Mrbay and @RRoonilWazlib thank you for your optimism but I am definitely out

So early this evening/late afternoon I started getting cramps as if I was going to get my period. And low and behold it is coming. What the actual F I didn't expect it to come until I stopped taking the vag gel! I think my 6th sense must have kicked in to tell me to test otherwise I'd have got a massive unwelcome suprise. At least this way I don't have to wait around for it and move on.

Hopefully you girls don't mind me kicking around on here for a while longer, you're all great!

@Cauliflower82 - glad to hear work went well and is a pleasant distraction from the 2ww.

Scan wasn't text book, my left ovary was no where to be found and it looks like only one follicle potentially contains an egg.
Will be going for EC on Wednesday so let's see what they find! Feeling pretty chilled about it and I am looking forward to being drug free as I have got fake baby brain.

@Mrbay they couldn't find my lefty at one of my scans either! But then it turned up alive and well. I blame it on a fed up sonographer! the consultant carrying out the EC will be much more careful in looking for it! Enjoy drug free day. Is it trigger tonight?

@zest11 - they had a fair old root around up there, even got shown my active bowl (aka gas!)
Yep, just done my trigger shot and now I'm tucked up in bed - I am so tired so I'm looking forward to a drug free day tomorrow

@Mrbay got everything crossed for you for Wednesday. Enjoy your injection free day tomorrow :)

@Cauliflower82 Professor Tim is covering antihistamines on BFN today!!

How are you feeling today @Zest11 ? Xx

Hope everyone else in the 2ww is getting on too xx

@RRoonilWazlib how are you doing with your 2ww? When’s your OTD?

Hi @RRoonilWazlib I am okay thank you. I actually find it easier to have confirmation rather than uncertainty. How are you? When are you going to test or have you already? Good luck!! Xx

I’m sorry I haven’t read through the other posts just yet, but, in a state of panic at work, I’ve locked myself in the toilet. I can feel AF cramping. I’m 7dp5dt now so much too gone for implantation cramping. I’m bloated massively and I just feel negative. Very negative.

@Cauliflower82 sending big hugs your way. Try not to read too much into the cramping, remember that it's possible to get cramping pains when everything is stretching and growing too. Does anyone at work know you're having IVF that you could go and talk to now?

Noooo @Cauliflower82 thinking of you. I really hope this isn't the case :(

@Cauliflower82 try not to panic too much. The cruelty of this process is that so many symptoms can be either of AF or of pregnancy. You're not out until you're out. Hang on in there Pip xx

@Cauliflower82 don't panic! I was getting cramping at 7 days and have every day ever since. Like period cramps. I still got the positive on day 8,9,10 and 11. Haven't tested since Sunday now. I was worried as didn't feel any when I planting and I remember saying to my DH it's too late for implantation. But I think things are growing and happening down there aren't they. When will you test?

Thank you everyone.
Unfortunately I’m just feeling way out of my depth - I don’t know how to handle such deep levels of sadness.

@Ginandtonic31 thank you - hopefully I’m like you, I pray I am. I’m not testing until otd on Thursday by a blood test.

@KittyKatSmile thank you - I hope Pip is nicely implanted 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@zest11 I’m sorry, I’m just reading through and looking at your last couple of posts. Such shitty shitty times.

@aliciawhiskers they do but all I got from them was ‘it might not be that’ back to work kind of thing.

@Mrbay enjoy injection free day.

@AliciaWhiskers my OTD is Friday, same as @Zest11.

I have tested early and had a positive but am now peeing every morning hoping that the line is getting darker and not fainting! Been using frers and used a digi this morning and got a postive.

Sending all my love to everyone in the 2ww, it's so hard, much harder than I thought it would be!

@Cauliflower82 try not to worry. My clinic warned me about having cramping etc. Xxxx
