@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF its not over yet everything crossed for you❤ @VenusStarr sorry your feeling down i get the lack of compassion thing 100% im really disappointed in the way my sister has treated me through all of this its just get on with it type of attitude very sad @BambiOnIce80 losing sanity a bit day by day too lol im laughin cause if i dnt i ll cry ive been invited to a baby shower just after my tww i dnt want to go i just want to b left alone atm but i feel like i cant get out of it. I feel like everyone will b lookin at me which i know is totally insane sorry for the10 posts in a row lol but my fone keeps postin too early and i need a mega rant!

BambiOnIce80 · 09/10/2019 17:22

Rant away @2fingers22018! 😤😉 Definitely better out than in 🙂 I'm quite lucky in that my group of friends haven't embraced the whole baby shower phenomenon, so at least haven't had to run that gauntlet 😏 And excellent news on the trigger shot of EC tomorrow! 🤩 I'll be giving my nurse specialist hell whilst you're getting your EC done! 😄 My doc told me that I'd need the day of and after EC off, although just because of the anaesthetic I think rather than being in pain (at least I hope so!). Keeping everything crossed for a good haul of eggs for you 🤞🏻 🍀 🤞🏻 🍀

2fingers22018 · 09/10/2019 17:26

@BambiOnIce80 thanks it better look like an easter haul by the time theyr done! Gd luck with ur appt 2morro hun x🍀

2fingers22018 · 09/10/2019 17:28

Ps i HATE baby showers👶🚿

GreyC · 09/10/2019 17:32

I hate baby showers too!! And we do them all the time at work.

cherryblossomgin · 09/10/2019 17:33

Can I join in, I have been on daily menopur injections for 6 weeks and hopefully Friday will be the day I get a trigger shot to release the egg. We are doing timed intercourse.

I know its unlikely that it will work first time but I have a small amount of hope. Last week was really tough as the scans hurt alot and I was so miserable because nothing was happening.

GreyC · 09/10/2019 17:42

I test r on Monday guys. Having odd pains all this week. The progesterone has given me lots of side effects so I’m not sure either way.
Sorry to here @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF - you do here of people who didn’t get results untill the day or a positive hcg!

VenusStarr · 09/10/2019 19:33

Welcome @cherryblossomgin, that's a lot of injections! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Lots happening this week. Good luck for egg collection @2fingers22018! Feels like that's come round quickly (probably not for you)
Hope all goes well at your appointment tomorrow @BambiOnIce80, that's good news they can do half and half 😊

I'm so tired today, forced myself to go swimming, took over an hour to get there, was very tempted to just keep driving home. Just resting on the sofa with a little glass of wine. Hope everyone is OK xx

CloudSway · 09/10/2019 21:52

@venusstarr think you should upgrade your glass of wine... sounds like a hard day for both of you. I'm sorry you aren't getting the compassion you should be getting from your family... It is a big deal and you are completely justified in your feelings, you are also entitled to have days where you feel good and I hope you have a lot more of those coming up but in the meantime we are all with you!xx ps thanks for the heads up on joker, might skip for now...!

@2fingers22018 come ooooonnnn big eggy collection! This bit will soon be over, hang in there! Oh and I also hate a baby shower, even though I've only been to one and dodged every other one I've been asked to lol

2fingers22018 · 09/10/2019 22:16

@GreyC and @CloudsSway glad im not the only 1 cheers for the support girls! @VenusStarr i feel like ive had it a lot easier than sum ppl with it being short protocol injecting for months must be hell! Its the rushing to and from hospts back n forth to work not to mention all the extra hormones. Im honestly soo grateful ive only been injecting for bout a fortnight.

2fingers22018 · 09/10/2019 22:19

Welcome! @cherryblossomgin so are you doing ivf? Im confused with the timed intercourse or am i being dense lol

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 10/10/2019 06:21

@2fingers22018 good luck today chick! You will do great! And it isn’t down there that hurts just a bit off when weeing it’s just inside really but I went back to work the next day it was a bit uncomfortable and bloated but fine xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 10/10/2019 06:22

Still a bfn for me blood test is tomorrow! Dh has really taken it hard don’t know what to do with him! Xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 10/10/2019 06:23

Sorry I will catch up on everyone else later and comment! Xx

VenusStarr · 10/10/2019 11:17

I'm really sorry @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF xx

2fingers22018 · 10/10/2019 11:37

VenusStarr · 10/10/2019 13:11

18 eggs sounds great @2fingers22018 🤞 for a good number fertilised, so they call you tomorrow? Hope you're not too sore today.

Hope everyone is OK xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 10/10/2019 14:18

Well I got 15 so yes that is a good number! Do you have PCOS? Sorry can’t remember who has what! Hope your feeling ok? Xx

2fingers22018 · 10/10/2019 16:28

@VenusStarr im surprisingly gd thanks just tiny bit cramping ive just stayed in bed watchin netflix lol they fone 2morro how are you feeling today? @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF no PCOS thankfully i just hope some fertilise! I hope u and ur OH are k its soo hard to go through all this and not get what u want but theres still hope u could get ur BFP 🍀 @BambiOnIce80 hope ur appt went well❤

CloudSway · 10/10/2019 17:24

@finallytakingtheplungewithivf how is OH this evening? Any better? Is he with you at the blood test tomorrow, and do you get the results right away? How are you feeling? x

@2fingers22018 18 sounds like a brilliant haul to me, well done!! On reddit they call the next bit the hunger games, the strongest ones get through so everything crossed and may the odds be ever in your favour!👍

@cherryblossongin hi there, welcome. Sorry about the painful scans, what type were they? Fx for tomorrow's jab - excuse my ignorance, what does the menopur do? 6 weeks is a long time to inject, well done you!

@venusstarr how are you doing today? Any quality pool time, or did you take a break today?

@squirrelnutkins1 haven't heard from you in a while, hope you are alright and the break is doing you good xx

CloudSway · 10/10/2019 17:27

@bambionice80 tell all, how did your meeting go?! Secretly hoping you used the phrase "slutty eggs" somewhere in the discussion... 😉🥚 Did you get a lot of questions answered, and we're they happy with your plan or has it changed at all? Xx

2fingers22018 · 10/10/2019 17:44

@CloudsSway thanks..i kept thinkin bout that today when they said theyl fone me n tel me if any fertilise i kept thinking better not be hard boiled 😂 i was thinking battle royale vibes there can only be one winner hehe did u get ur bloods sorted i know you said u were rushing bout and got there in time but did the clinic sort out ur meds? X

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 10/10/2019 18:57

@2fingers22018 glad your doing ok! Thanks but I think at this stage I should at least have a squintier!

@CloudSway not sure yet he is still at work! No he not and no we will get the results at some point tomorrow afternoon! I’m ok getting a bit emotional! This was the last one we can do for 18 months so it’s a big kick in the gut! We may do another egg collection next year and freeze them! I don’t know know we haven’t talked about it yet!

Hope everyone else is ok xx
