Sept IVF/FET Part 2

[Lemongrass1]

For more chat!

Thanks all! I’m ready for this pain to stop! I’ve not taken pain killers or anything since I started trying for a baby so while the clinic keep telling me I should, I feel like it’s a bad idea to start introducing random chemicals for the first time in years!

@Minster2012 oh my goodness wow 😮 that’s inspirational.

@Minster2012 Wow, you've been through so much already. What a strong person!

Does anyone have any tips for getting follicles growing and maturing. I'm on stims day 11 and just need these bad boys to grow!!
My bloating seems to have disappeared which is weird but my boobs (esp my nipples) are so sensitive!

Aww thanks ladies but not true!

@WeavingWandering would you not even take paracetamol? I'm allll about the medication 😂 don't really do painkillers mind you, but for my IVF I had the drugs nurse consultant looking up my 15 different tablets to see if they are pregnancy safe 😂😳I'm a walking pharmacy

I'm pretty sure the pain I felt today means I've done too much and I'm really pissed off, DH gone from 7am to 6.30pm today leaving me with hyperactive DS & 2 hyperactive dogs has meant I've had to lift, inadvertently twist, jog and all sorts. Pretty annoyed he couldn't even find it within himself to come back from work early to help out. Humph.

Feeling pretty on edge today. I’m convinced something going to go wrong.

I’m having a dull ache in my left leg. It travels down my leg. Has it a couple of days ago. Have made myself believe that it’s sinister.
I know I’m being irrational

In fairness - I probably could- but I feel like having not had any in so long, I’d probably end up a drooling mess just opening the package!

My partner’s stuck overseas due to COVID lack of flights - really wish he’d told work to stuff off so he’d still be here with me!

Sorry to hear you’re out (possibly!) as well- will you be back for another round? I’ve found the best thing for me is to start planning the next !

@WeavingWandering I understand not wanting to risk taking a drug that would be potentially harmful in pregnancy but short term use of paracetamol has been shown to be safe and when necessary stronger pain relief is deemed safe (discussed with your doctor). If you are in this much pain deny yourself pain relief is not going to help you or your potential pregnancy.

@Minster2012 I hope it is not you having overdone it. Could it be implantation? I have had all sorts of weird and wonderful pains! I think the progesterone has a lot to answer for.

@thefishthatcouldwish pain travelling down your leg sounds like nerve pain. Have you got a history of sciatica? Its under 2 weeks till your scan! And if you are really worried you can call your clinic just for a rational opinion!

I have lost all rationale! I seem to get more and more anxious that I am no longer pregnant and just haven't realised yet so have taken to taking pregnancy tests to reassure myself. I dont know how I am going to last another 2 weeks for the viability scan. Or thats wrong, I do with multiple pregnancy tests 🤦‍♀️

Ha ha ha it's all horrible isn't it??!! The waiting is horrible at every stage @UnicornPuff I would be the same. I can only hope it's implantation but one day after transfer (or literally 24 hours) surely that's super early??

@WeavingWandering you have to do what you feel is right, if you don't want to take anything then that's fine but honestly a paracetamol won't hurt you or a potential baby and cramping CAN be a good sign so please don't count yourself out for no reason, it could also be bloat from progesterone. When was your transfer? Bloody Covid has a lot to answer for 🙄😫so sorry you don't have DH with you but sending hugs xx

@thefishthatcouldwish pain in your leg can also be an early kind of restless leg so not bad news and can often be helped by a glass of tonic water at night

@Minster2012 can your DH be around a bit more to help out over the weekend and let you chill out a little?

I’m actually feeling very calm tonight which is welcomed, been out for a big walk with the dog and now having an early night. The dog is looking at me as if to say “excuse me, it’s not your bed time yet” haha but all this overthinking during the day is tiring me out.

Ahhhh I'm ahead of you @JenniferRo28, DS at nursery tomorrow & im at work and I've arranged for DS to visit best friend & family (who carried him, his "oddparents") for sat afternoon & night. So though usually DH been going into work on Saturday mornings, he's not this weekend, he's in charge of getting up/taking to & picking up from nursery tomorrow and all sorting on Saturday morning. I just hope it's not too late 😫

I have a DDOG like yours! The other even more hyper! This one in charge and more chilled!

@Minster2012 sounds like an excellent plan you’ve got there, oddparents haha that made me giggle it’s really cute. Well I hope you enjoy your chilled weekend and put your feet up.

Gorgeous doggies, mine has been a great snuggle buddy the last couple of weeks, he always seems to know when I’m down in the dumps.

It’s definitely burning rather than bloating but wouldn’t say no to a miracle... Albeit the test says no miracles this time!

Just got to keep hoping for the next time ...

Best of luck to everyone still going !

Omg @Minster2012 forgive me. I’m officially losing the plot 🤦🏻‍♀️ What a story... you are an inspiration and should be so so proud of yourself. What a journey. I wish you so so much luck 🤞

I’ve been up all night I just couldn’t settle and decided I had to put myself out my misery, 11dp5dt and it’s a BFP here ❤️ I can’t stop shaking x

@JenniferRo28 🥰❤️🎉congratulations!! That's great!!!! Awesome news to wake up to! Seeee, we said don't count yourself out!!

@JenniferRo28 congratulations!! 🎉🎉 amazing morning news!

That’s fab news @JenniferRo28!! Massive congrats to you! And a weekend of excitement now 😊

Congratulations @JenniferRo28 🎉🥳🎉

@JenniferRo28 congrats!!!

Thanks all for the reassurances!

I’m not sure it’s sciatica have had that before but could well be muscular. I’ll try the tonic water though.

@JenniferRo28 wow congratulations to you! Enjoy the weekend. Welcome to the next wait!!!

@JenniferRo28 congrats!!!!!

@JenniferRo28 Ahhh Congratulations, so exciting 🥰 xx

@JenniferRo28 Congratulations! That's wonderful.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

I had another follicle scan this morning. Growing slowly but steadily - will see what the clinic say this afternoon when bloods are back too.

@unknownscot slow and steady wins the race don't worry, you don't want them being too big or too small so sounds good xx

Thanks everyone, still in shock. Sitting here at work thinking did that actually happen? Haha

@Fightingtobepositive how are you feeling today?

and @Minster2012 are you feeling a bit better today?
