@Twiglet2353 congratulations on your baby boy! Hope you're both doing well. I'll always remember being cycle buddies and hope we will be again in the future! Keep us posted how you get on. Lots of love to you momma! 💙 x

Twiglet2353 · 25/11/2019 14:39

Thank you so much all of you. He is really rather cute, but I'm biased of course 🙂. Exhausted and now heading home to get some sleep (hopefully 🤞).

Will keep popping by to see how you're all getting on. Best wishes xxx

Great to see everyone’s progress. My next scan is Friday.
I’m very uncomfortable. Felt quite poorly sat night/sun morning... but that’s passed.
Hope you are all
Feeling ok. Xxx

Hopingforbabyd · 25/11/2019 23:34

@Pleaseletitbeme hoping you are feeling better now and that your scan goes okay x

@Russkispy day 7 of stims, had zero side effects! Scan on Friday. How are you doing?

Russkispy · 27/11/2019 10:27

@Wesstywoo hope the scan goes well! 🤞🏻
I'm ok, waiting for AF to arrive and go so I can fly home/to my clinic for various tests. Never waiting 😤😤😤

WorriedButterfly · 27/11/2019 13:51

Day 7 I had another scan earlier, 1x13 1x14 1x10 2x9 1x8 1x7. Pleased I've got some (I only had 1 last cycle). But worried things have slowed down, the largest two were 12 on Monday. Trying to stay positive and hoping some can catch up. Thanks for checking in. Feel very heady, mildly sick on and off. x

AliceAbsolum · 27/11/2019 14:06

6 is excellent! How long are you going to stim for now?

WorriedButterfly · 27/11/2019 14:15

7! ;) the best I've ever had. Next scan is on Friday, will hopefully trigger Saturday with EC on Monday, I'm just worried they've slowed down, have you heard of that happening- I seemed to start well. The clinic didn't seem worried. How are you doing - hanging in there? X

Hopingforbabyd · 27/11/2019 17:18

Excellent or should I say eggcellent @WorriedButterfly I too slowed down on my last cycle and was frustrated they hadn't done much but by the time it came to trigger I was surprised, I'm hoping this is the same for you too! Lots and lots of water to help that heavy head! X

@Russkispy I'm doing okay thank you, 19 weeks today...time is flying I want it to slow down a little bit more. Im extremely tired at the minute (apparently baby has a bit of a growth spurt around this time) but I'm getting off my butt and going to my second pregnancy yoga tonight. Hopefully it'll be a bit kinder on my body this time...I found I am not flexible in the slightest and have tension in areas I didn't know existed 😂🙈 x

Wesstywoo · 27/11/2019 17:25

@WorriedButterfly 7! That's great, hopefully they will catch up - Saturday is a long way off yet. Seems like the extra drugs are working for you. Can you feel anything going on in there? I'm worried that I literally feel normal so I'm concerned that I'm not responding at all!

WorriedButterfly · 27/11/2019 18:28

@Wesstywoo I've felt a few twinges, been bloated and a bit sicky. But don't feel much today. Just trying to keep my head focused as I have an overwhelming feeling that it's going wrong! You've gone a long time with no scans, well done. Something will be happening, try not to worry! Roll on Friday! X

Russkispy · 27/11/2019 23:14

@WorriedButterfly fingers crossed for Friday.
@Hopingforbabyd sorry you're feeling tired but glad all is going well and you enjoyed the yoga tonight

Pleaseletitbeme · 29/11/2019 14:39

Hi guys,
I’m gutted. Just had my first follicle scan.
Left ovary hasn’t responded at all. (It’s always been the responder).
Right ovary has 3.
Not good.
Booked Monday for egg collection.
This is our last chance and I’m gutted. Beyond gutted.

Wesstywoo · 29/11/2019 17:13

@Pleaseletitbeme sorry to hear this. I've only got 3 as well. Good luck with EC on Monday xx

WorriedButterfly · 29/11/2019 17:31

Hang in there @Pleaseletitbeme, sending positive vibes, good luck for Monday. x

Pleaseletitbeme · 29/11/2019 17:51

Thanks guys.
I feel so flat.
When is your EC?

Wesstywoo · 29/11/2019 17:56

@Pleaseletitbeme it was meant to be Wednesday but it depends how things are when they scan again on Monday

Pleaseletitbeme · 29/11/2019 17:58

WW- that was what was supposed to happen to me. Now I’m worried things won’t be good as it’s 3 days early.

WorriedButterfly · 29/11/2019 19:59

@Pleaseletitbeme mine is Monday morning- I'm still going with menopur tonight and another shot in the morning, then trigger tomorrow. X

Hopingforbabyd · 29/11/2019 20:31

@WorriedButterfly @Pleaseletitbeme sending lots of positivity to you ladies x

AliceAbsolum · 30/11/2019 01:18

Thinking of you all. Its tough tough tough. @pleaseletitbeme I'd feel the same as you, the last go is high stakes. But hopefully you will get some great eggs. My 1 turned into a blast so it's possible. Are you taking Dhea?
