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? 🤷‍♀️

3 days time if all goes well tomorrow 🤞🏻 I’m knackered today! And nearly bit the other half’s head off earlier. Been in bed the last hour and a half, fell asleep for a bit after listening to a “mindful ivf” app X

@Mw050389 I'm glad! I'm seeming to feel the menopur ones more and more, I'm not sure if it's because of injecting in the same area every other day but I had a right go at him just telling him to hurry up and stick it in cos it felt like he was taking ages, bless him 😂
I'm hoping my EC is Friday xx

Can I just ask what vitamins their partners are taking if any? He's got no issues fertility wise and all of this samples have been completely fine but not sure whether to start him on some this week before EC. I'm currently taking the Seven Seas - Try for a baby which the clinic advised me to take but didn't recommend anything for him to take x

Yea just don’t have time for farting around lol.. I’ve been dead bloated on them. I made him start taking a multivitamin last week just to make sure.. not harm is there 🤷🏼‍♀️ X

@Hoping1 ec is due 9th November. I'm on long protocol so not sure if my timeline will be slightly different x
@Nattx my hubby is taking the wellman conception ones. His are a little on the slow side so will hopefully help a bit x

My parner been on proxceed for months at £60 a pop for a months worth. He is low on sprem count and they the wrong shape and bit slow. The hospital recommended it and said takes 3 months for sprem to renew hopefully he been on this long we might not need isci but ok if we do least he has some. I am angry all the time and that without hormones God help my partner lol.feels like every happing quick for you all cant believe you all near ec already mine the 16th of November xxx

Racs83 · 18/10/2020 22:39

@Hoping1 you're only a week after me so not too long. Do you start your injections this week? Xx

Hoping1 · 18/10/2020 22:44

Think I start next Monday on period xxx

Nattx · 18/10/2020 22:49

We were both Pregnacare/Wellman but I hated taking them they're huge and the after taste is minging 🤢 I'll grab him some multivitamins after my blood appointment tomorrow, thank you!
@Hoping1 surely if you're on short protocol and starting injecting the 26th your egg collection would be before then? I started my injections last Wednesday and my egg collection is possibly Friday 23rd at the earliest or Tuesday 27th at the latest 🤷‍♀️ hopefully you find out more on Tuesday xx

Hoping1 · 18/10/2020 23:05

Mw050389 · 19/10/2020 10:24

Ohh I got excited thinking we’d smiled at each other hahaha x

Nattx · 19/10/2020 16:55

What's the update from your bloods @Mw050389? I'm 3 amps tonight, start fyremadel tomorrow morning, back to 2 amps tomorrow night then bloods again on Wednesday. I don't get a scan until Friday though, it says on my form I get one Wednesday but the woman said no just bloods 🤷‍♀️ so with that egg collection won't be until next Monday or Wednesday xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 19/10/2020 18:02

Hey bloods keep coming back fine, scan I had 3 follicles at the right size and 4 just on the cusp so they wanted me to keep going with stims for a few more days... so my egg collection is gunna be Friday x

Nattx · 19/10/2020 19:56

@Mw050389 how many scans have you had since starting stims? X

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 19/10/2020 20:13

One baseline scan on day 3 and then one today... will have another on Wednesday just to make sure x

Nattx · 19/10/2020 20:44

I had mine on day 4 which was last Wednesday but won't get another until Friday but on my sheet of dates it says I should have one Wednesday and when I asked what time my scan would be she was like oh it's just bloods. Confused! Might give them a ring tomorrow and make sure, because when I got the sheet last Tuesday she was pointing out when I'd have just bloods and when I'd have bloods and scans and Wednesday was one of those days cos she's highlighted them 🤷‍♀️ xx

Last night was the worst! I had a bad tummy for around 2 hours just before I had to do my injection, I had to run the loo just as I was about to change the needle which led me to accidentally squirt a bit of the solution into the mixer lid (luckily managed to save the snoring of it) I didn’t dare take my antibiotic and still had a full pint of milk to drink at 9pm 🙈 I am drained today to say the least! Forgot to mention yday my lining was a bit think too so another reason for waiting till friday, gunna start drinking pomegranate juice today see if the old wives take really works lol.. also thinking bout asking my manager if I can start working from home from tomorrow as I feel like yesterday really stressed me out and that’s not what i need right now! X

Mw050389 · 20/10/2020 07:56

*Majority not snorting
*And lining was thin lol

Nattx · 20/10/2020 10:48

Oh bloody hell! On my first menopur I mixed it and there was a tiny bit left in the amp that I couldn't get out but it hasn't made a difference I don't think cos they've said my numbers are doing well so maybe try not to stress too much about it and just give them a quick call to let them know? You weren't wrong about the fyremadel mind! He said it's tougher to get in but it didn't hurt at all but my stomach is now itchy and red 😬 xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 20/10/2020 11:50

It was the tiniest bit that was missing like hardly worth noting about just the full experience stressed me out lol... deffos working from Home from tomorrow Just to relax! Stingy little bitch ain’t she! Mine comes up like a nettle rash lol x

Hoping1 · 20/10/2020 14:31
