Hi all, popping back again (very sporadic as trying to focus on other stuff but it's not working.) Just reading through all your updates.
It seems everyone is at different stages of heartbreak, tentative maybe happiness which could be pulled away at any moment, or waiting, so much waiting.
Good luck to @IVFGotThis05 for Monday, and for those of you trying not to go mad in the tww @MrsC2018 and @TheSnufflet and @strawberrysummer19
It sounds like you had a hell of an experience Snufflet, I hope one (or both) of the embryos stick, so hard. The not getting at your ovary sounds horrible. My clinic does Conscious Sedation so not sure if that's different.
@VenusStarr- ah how I hope it's not a blighted ovum (I hate that term so much, it makes me think of old bibles and potato famines and pulpits and scary things) - I wish they could come up with kinder language to use, for what it a horrible possible situation. But they might still be OK. I loved your update. There is hope, but my God it's difficult.
@SunshineAndScience I'm sorry, there is so much heartbreak and so little justice in this process.
My update is that I have finally started to bleed, right on the day my natural period would have been due, so not sure if the Buserelin has actually done anything, but the lovely nurse I spoke to today seemed upbeat and said it's doing its job, which I guess is good? I started it on cycle day two and now day two of the next cycle (although they say it's not a period) day 28 of Buserelin.
Going for Scan on Tuesday at 7am. They love their morning appointments, but at least it means I can walk there through the park, and also not be late for work. If the lining is thin enough I can start stims on Tuesday with a possible retrieval on 26th, so later that I thought when it was first postponed. I'm really really hoping it works, so so hard. But I know it might not, and we may be looking at a cancelled cycle and starting again next year.
At least I can have wine if it's cancelled, which I will cry into.
