Hi all. Checking in the say hello. So pleased to hear about your good numbers @Russkispy. And @WorriedButterfly great news you are at 16 weeks. I will still very nervous around then but calmed a lot after 20 week scan and once I started feeling movement ago it then.

All going well with me -26 weeks on Sunday been pretty lucky with symptoms and still feeling pretty nimble! Bit stressed about this Coronavirus now tho!

@Hopingforbabyd wow -nearly starting maternity leave -how exciting! Not long to go now!

Hopingforbabyd · 06/03/2020 17:51

@Russkispy excellent news! Come on little embie! 2020 is our year ladies 🙌🏻

@mouse1234567 aw mouse!! Hello! Glad to hear all is well your end. It's still all a bit worrying isn't it, try not to worry too much about the Coronavirus I know that's easy to say but the rates are so incredibly low and sadly it's one of those things like most bugs and diseases we just can't avoid. Mat leave starts tomorrow I do feel quite emosh about it all as it's just like....ohhh my this is actually real now. Do you know when you're planning to finish? X

WorriedButterfly · 06/03/2020 19:47

Keep going @Russkispy!

@mouse1234567 - glad things are progressing well for you, I suspect the next few weeks will flash by!

mouse1234567 · 06/03/2020 20:37

@WorriedButterfly thanks-yes In one way time seems to be flying and in others not!

@Hopingforbabyd exciting re maternity leave -know what you mean about being surreal. I can imagine. I filled in my maternity form yesterday and it felt so surreal. I think I’m going to push on as late as poss to save as much cash as I can-end of may/beg of June-due date 14th-but let’s see how it works out! I’m a year 2 teacher and my main thing is getting the SATS done in May and then I’m free as a bird! Yes you are right -no point worrying really re corona-panic a bit being in a school -but we just have to carry on don’t we!

Wesstywoo · 07/03/2020 16:53

@Russkispy great numbers! I have absolutely everything crossed for you xxx

So please all is going well for you ladies! @hopingforbabyd @worriedbutterfly @mouse1234567 @Viletta xx

Meds all ordered and I'm ready to go once AF shows, it's going to be a long road with 3 cycles of natural modified but I think this is my best option.

Hope all the other lovely ladies from the TMI thread are doing ok xx

Hopingforbabyd · 09/03/2020 09:30

@mouse1234567 good for you gal! I've taken 2 weeks holiday then Mat leave officially kicks in 25th March, I'm glad I have gone now though as I think baby has started to drop and I'm really struggling still with my back (since 14weeks) and some of the downward feelings are....well 😳🙈 I feel like he's about to fall out lol. Very exciting though and how exciting filling your maternity documents in! I'm thinking of making a little grad forum so we can discuss things on there if you fancy joining?

@Wesstywoo so exciting!! Do you know when AF pending?

WorriedButterfly · 09/03/2020 11:39

Will be right behind you @Wesstywoo hopefully AF won't take too long. Keep us updated 😊

I'd be up for a grad forum @Hopingforbabyd - I have really missed the support from this thread, you were all so helpful and encouraging. Doesn't sound like you're be waiting long! Enjoy the next few weeks! X

Hopingforbabyd · 09/03/2020 18:00

Hi ladies I have made this group and tagged you in it. I will always support this group but I feel bump chat is always kinda and more sensitive on a grad thread 😊 xx

WorriedButterfly · 09/03/2020 18:19

Hi @Hopingforbabyd - thank you!

I also wanted to say I am not going anywhere and will always be behind you all, as I said earlier you were a huge support to me and I am keeping everything crossed and positive for you all. Always here on TMI! X

Wesstywoo · 09/03/2020 19:37

Thank you ladies, will keep you posted 😘

Hopingforbabyd · 09/03/2020 19:54

@WorriedButterfly totally agree love our little TMI forum and it'll always stay so close to my heart x

AliceAbsolum · 11/03/2020 20:03

I'm reading along when I can. 3 months yesterday. Who knows what will happen with travelling for FET with this epidemic. Just really glad we decided not to go ASAP as I don't think we would be able to do it.

Good to hear from you @AliceAbsolum, hope you are ok lovely xx

WorriedButterfly · 18/03/2020 23:25

How are you ladies doing? @Wesstywoo have you started? X

Wesstywoo · 19/03/2020 09:57

Hi @WorriedButterfly thanks for checking in - I had my baseline earlier in the week (which is actually a few days later than in a conventional cycle) and there was already a follicle ready to go (on the ovary that never responded to conventional IVF!). I was meant to be doing very low dose stims first but they told me to trigger and they collected it yesterday so this one has been 100% natural. Just waiting to hear whether it fertilised and if it has they will freeze on day 3 so I can do it again next month (depending on them being open of course!). How are you doing? Xx

Hopingforbabyd · 19/03/2020 19:29

Hey ladies! Just checking in to make sure you're all okay and hoping this bloody virus isn't affecting your cycles x

Wesstywoo · 20/03/2020 09:34

@Hopingforbabyd so far all ok for me and I am thankful, sadly there are a lot of people on this year's March/April thread having their cycles cancelled Sad How are you doing? Xx

Hopingforbabyd · 20/03/2020 12:06

@Wesstywoo I know 😔 it's so sad but I know it's because they're being so safe for everyone and their little embies. Frustrating though. I'm okay, I'm incredibly nervous and it has just been confirmed in my town so I feel even more anxious now. Just a bit of a shit time isn't it xx

Wesstywoo · 20/03/2020 12:20

@Hopingforbabyd yes it's absolutely crazy. Keep safe, not long to go now! xx

Hopingforbabyd · 20/03/2020 19:58

@Wesstywoo thanks lovely & you take care too xx❤️

Russkispy · 23/03/2020 07:50

How's everyone doing/feeling? @Wesstywoo @Hopingforbabyd @WorriedButterfly @AliceAbsolum @

AliceAbsolum · 23/03/2020 07:58

Ivf is so far down my priorities right now. They're saying social distancing for a year so who knows when we will be able to go back for FET.
How're you doing?

Wesstywoo · 23/03/2020 08:11

Hi @russkispy unfortunately cycle hasn't gone well - egg was collected and fertilised but was still only 2 cells on day 3 Sad how are you doing?

WorriedButterfly · 23/03/2020 08:22

@Wesstywoo sorry to hear that, are they going to carry on for a few days to see if there are changes? X

@Russkispy - I'm ok thanks keeping my head down in these uncertain times! How are you doing? X
