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? 🤷‍♀️

Racs83 · 21/10/2020 20:00

I was going to ask that about the milk x

Nattx · 21/10/2020 20:04

I've seen on a Facebook group that it's a old wives tale of drinking 1 pint of full fat milk a day helps your eggs grow so I'm not sure if this is the reason why but 2L of milk a day is alot 😬 xx

Hoping1 · 21/10/2020 20:23

Sorry I missed a word out 2liters of water a day and 1 pint of full fat milk the hospital told me to drink it it really good for the egg somthing to do with the fat in it they said xxxx

Mw050389 · 21/10/2020 20:51

Yea same... it’s killed me lol and I blame that for all the weight I’ve put on! Lol trigger injection in 9 minutes 👏🏻 X

Nattx · 21/10/2020 21:34

Oh they never mentioned anything to me apart from water which I drink alot of anyway but I do have milk throughout the day anyway but ill make sure it's a pint from now on 😂
How did the trigger shot go? I'm excited for you! You said collection is Monday, did you mean Friday? Xx

OP posts:
Mw050389 · 21/10/2020 21:35

Trigger was fine! No different from Fyremadel.. oh god yes Friday 😂🙈 x

Nattx · 21/10/2020 22:02

I'm there on Friday for my bloods and a scan. I do hope everything goes well for you! You'll have to let me know how egg collection goes because that's the one thing I'm anxious about! Have they told you to take anything in? Is this my excuse to buy a new dressing gown? 😂 xx

Hoping1 · 21/10/2020 22:18

@Mw050389 owww not long at all so excited for you when I was in yesterday they said parner waits outside and someone has to be with you for 24hours afterwards. @Nattx i love dressing gowns going to tell other half i have to have one for hospital he already bought me full outfit comfy clothes I told him I needed for ec but I just wanted them so made the hospital bit up. If my period comes this weekend I am in on Monday for baseline scan and bloods if not and I come on Monday then in Wednesday then all go xxxxx

Mw050389 · 22/10/2020 08:13

I cant wait now! Yea he has to wait in a room but can join you when you come round a bit better and they said they hadn’t been letting partners in for transfers... I asked if I needed anything she said no and to just wear comfy clothes for coming home, just says a pair of slippers on the letter you get with all the info on! No deodorant or perfume or false nails, no nail varnish on fingers or toes and no jewellery... so I’m getting washed the night before with some simple soap and shampoo, then nothing in the morning. Same for the other half, then he’s gunna do his sample right before we leave. They give you a time for egg collection and ab arrival time 45 minute before that x

Racs83 · 22/10/2020 12:48

Good luck on your ec @Mw050389 not long now 😆

Just wondering if any of you are planning to take any time off work for ec and when they transfer back. I'm still trying to decide what to do x

Nattx · 22/10/2020 12:55

@Racs83 the nurse said to me I'd need atleast a week of rest after egg collection so to let my work know. When I go on Friday and they confirm I'm definitely in for egg collection on Monday I'm going to ask them to write up a letter to give to my work xx

OP posts:
Racs83 · 22/10/2020 13:01

@Nattx ok thanks. I've been keeping work up to date with everything so far so they shouldn't have a problem. I am working from home at the minute anyway so will see what happens. I'm due to call next week when af starts for next steps so hopefully they go through it all then anyway xx

Mw050389 · 22/10/2020 13:03

I’ve been shattered and uncomfortable so I’ve been working from home yday and today got leave of absence in for tomorrow and Wednesday and put holidays in next week then working from
