Made a new thread because idk if it's the same for use but on the app I have to scroll millions of pages before getting to the most recent comment on the other one with having so many replies? 🤷‍♀️

You both need frequent flyer points. Can I just ask where you got the month parking ticket from. Sorry if you have already said xxx

Nattx · 16/10/2020 11:50

I haven't bothered with the parking pass because the last two times I was there the machine was out of service so didn't need to pay but in the ivf waiting room it does give you the details on a poster. Maybe just give them a quick ring and ask because I think the ivf place stamp the form as proof then you take it else where in the hospital for the actual pass. For bloods today he just waited in the pick up/drop off point 20 minutes free and was literally there 5. I'll probably sort mine out on Monday though if I can be bothered to mess on, lately I just cba with the hassle of anything 🤣 xx

Mw050389 · 16/10/2020 13:20

I asked the nurse for a form they sign it then you take to the desk next to costa, wish it hadn’t been working while I’ve been going 😅 I’d already paid £9 in tickets before I got mine! X

Nattx · 16/10/2020 15:45

Mw050389 · 16/10/2020 17:08

@Nattx fine she said they’re doubling nicely! Have to do 6 amps over the weekend, partner has to do his business on Sunday night and I have blood at 8:15 on Monday and follicle scan at 2pm 🤞🏻 X

Hoping1 · 16/10/2020 19:45

@Mw050389 what has to happen with his business do they do it at the hospital xxxx

Mw050389 · 16/10/2020 19:55

He has to produce the night before the scan to “clean the pipes out” lol and give the sperm time to be a good quality if I have collection Wednesday... on Wednesday morning he’s going to produce at home and transfer to the hospital cos it’s not a very nice environment to have to do that lol gunna ask for a sample pot for him on my scan on Monday x

Racs83 · 16/10/2020 21:01

lol. That's good to know. Hubby and I were wondering. It's not like they can provide any "help" 😂

Mw050389 · 17/10/2020 06:42

Haha oh I know it’s awful, he’s really struggled when he had to produce in the hospital before lol but aslong as you get it there within 40 minutes and keep it warm in a pocket or something you can produce at home before an appointment... I always end up saying something to accidentally put more pressure on him which isn’t great 🙈 last night I mentioned how important it was to do it right there and then in the hospital and he hasn’t thought about that so was like Great! Thanks! 🙈🙈

Hoping1 · 17/10/2020 09:19

Thats really good to know i tell my partner all though he finds it stressful and is a right fanny about everything in life . He doesn't mind doing it as hospital he tried it at home once what a drama it was. We live a bit away from hospital he got struck in traffic and had a meltdown. Least when he at hospital he feel better that they can get it stright away and doesn't stress getting it there bless him. He once said you don't relize what I have to go tho it so hard. We didn't talk for a week after that then when we were at the hospital and they showed him everything I had to do on way home he apologies and said he wished he could help me out as that is way more then he does bless him xxx

Mw050389 · 17/10/2020 12:11

They think they have it hard don’t they... my partner thinks I downplay his part too... But compared to what we have to go thru it’s next too nothing, I try and be understanding though, must be hard to jizz in a cup on demand 😂🙈

Nattx · 17/10/2020 12:48

I've decided to cut my metformin dosage in half for atleast the first week because it was making me feel sick all the time, I didn't take half of it yesterday and feel abit better than I did. It was affecting my appetite and that's not a good thing especially when you need to take it with food and the antibiotics too so I'd of make myself worse if I ended up taking them without food. I fell asleep on the couch yesterday which I rarely ever do 😂 I'm actually counting down the days to stop all this medication and I've only just started xx

Racs83 · 17/10/2020 14:55

Oh these posts have made me chuckle today. Our poor other halves!! What a terrible time for them!!! Lol. Although since I've started the buserelin I've been in a bit of a bad mood so he had to deal with that!!
@Mw050389 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@Hoping1 I don't blame you for not talking for a week lol
@Nattx glad you are feeling a bit better. How come you have to take metformin? Doesn't sound like fun xxx

Hope you're all having a nice weekend so far xxx

Mw050389 · 17/10/2020 15:34

Oh god I need something to affect my appetite I can’t stop eating 🙈 I’ve put so much weight on!
Ya have to laugh don’t ya or yad cry 🤣 x

Hoping1 · 17/10/2020 16:16

I am on metaformin they can be brutal you defo need somthing on stomach to have them. I am on them because the last scan I had with hospital showed I had over 50 folices so was also move to short protocol and told to take them and possible pco I have regular periods with it dont have the syndrome part. My parner nearly died that week I could have killed him for that comment my reply to him was owww d**knead I have had every man and his suitcase up there having a look around and you think you hard done by because you can bang one out in our bedroom on your own. He never said anything again he darnt xxx

Racs83 · 17/10/2020 22:11

@Mw050389 I am trying to be good on the eating front. Managing so far but definitely feel your pain on that front.
@Hoping1 I am not surprised lol. Sounds like he was lucky to get home alive lol 😂

Nattx · 18/10/2020 10:54

I'm on metformin because I have pcos and although it's a drug to treat type 2 diabetes it also helps with the hormonal imbalance of pcos. With having pcos I am slightly higher risk of miscarriage but taking the metformin reduces the risk back down to a woman without pcos so it's definitely worth taking. I was on it for ages beforehand and got used to them but only started taking them again and at first they're awful on your stomach but so far I'm feeling even better today so it must of been the full dosage of metformin too much too soon. I've started taking it on a night too so I sleep through any side effects. @hoping1 how you doing? Xx

Hoping1 · 18/10/2020 11:19
