Pregnant (IVF) Worriers

Hi everyone,

This thread is for all you incessant worriers out there, not necessarily limited to IVF-ers, although I get the feeling the people who have had trouble TTC are more prone to worrying than others!

A few of us graduated from the IVF thread (link below) and are having a go at our own thread to get out of the other IVF-ers hair! So get your roomy jogging bottoms on for some virtual hand holding, mutual symptom spotting and staying sane until the next scan date.

I am back on the horse, it's just difficult dragging DH away from the internet/bed/pub! ;-)

shaz but Fairy's clinic said until 7wks so you're fine to get back on said horse.
And those boobs, don't worry they will come along. My goodness. I think I need to start making money off mine, we'll need it when the twins come along! ;-)

Its obviously a big subject for everyone and seems to be personal preference and symptom/ inclination depending. I'm hoping that a nice quiet week in a cosy cottage will do the trick. Actually today is our anniversary so maybe even before next week

Work is dragging so much. Is it really only 11? How many more snacks can I have to pass the time?

dildals I was talking about huge follies, not babies! :) don't worry I don't have magical xray eyes.

/Mrs I was going to use the back entrance for the pessaries if/when we get round to it. I was musing on the whole thing and said 'well if we do it we'll have to put it in the other hole'. Meaning the PESSARY. Guess what dh thought I meant for hours :)

OK, am just as confused and unsure after this chat!. If dildals was the reason, though, they could just say 'use a condom'... Sorry...

Mrs congrats on the cbd! :)

BTW you don't have to DTD to keep him happy, dildals

Dildals · 05/04/2013 11:16

keep Aaah! I do have a monster follie! 6cms BEAT THAT! ;-)

A condom ... I wouldn't have thought about that ... I don't even know what those look like anymore ... but extremely good point!

Oh yes I do. I don't mean in a submissive wife catering to his every whim, but I feel that the intimacy of regular sex is important in keeping a happy marriage, not just to keep him happy but also to keep me happy! That, and him not cutting his nails in the living room.

OP posts:

keepitgoing · 05/04/2013 11:20

that's bigger than the babies!! I mean seriously, why are the follies still there?!

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 11:45

Here here to that dildals!

Maybe it's time to thank that follie for its perseverance but that part of the show is over now and it should just go home.

Ps I feel differently today. Pregnant somehow . Work is quiet because I did all my work yesterday and I'm actually tempted to look at buggies. Well slings to be more precise. It's amazing what a fuzzy, blurry photocopy of a blob can do to a woman. X

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 11:47

Pps. Keep I bet your DH thought it was Christmas for a while x

keepitgoing · 05/04/2013 11:53

He did. What a wally!

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 12:27

That is so funny! When is your scan again? Is it in a couple of weeks? I can't wait for you to have it. It is very exciting. X

Dildals · 05/04/2013 12:27

haha, oh, I missed keeps comment at first. That's funny.

They emptied the follie at egg collection but they all hang around and fill up with fluid. Joys of IVF. It will go down by itself.

OP posts:

keepitgoing · 05/04/2013 12:38

13 days, at 7+6. I can't wait either, but it still feels ages off.

They barely mentioned mine dildals, but I was like wtf?

fairypangolin · 05/04/2013 12:45

Hi all - I have a TMI question so apols in advance - I am now 12 + 5 and have been noticing an increase in cervical fluid, but just quite liquid and clear or whitish. This morning however I had some egg-white cervical mucus just like I used to get pre-ovulation. Has anyone had this? I had increased fluid when I was pregnant before but not EWCM as far as I can recall. I've consulted Dr Google but can't find a definitive answer. I imagine it is just due to a rise in oestrogen since I also got a lot of it when I was stimming but some of the online info suggests it can be a sign of premature labour. Surely that is not the case when I am onl 12 +5?

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 12:54

Oo same as me Keep I was 7.6 also.

Hhm don't know Fairy im afraid. All my books say increased mucus as a symptom but I couldnt tell cause of the pessaries. Is this in addition to the pessary gunk do you think?

fairypangolin · 05/04/2013 12:58

shazza yes, the pessary leaves white waxy bits, not EWCM. It probably is nothing to worry about but well, when I have something to worry about why miss the opportunity? :-)

PS dildals I am with you on the importance of sex and no public toenail cutting for a happy marriage.

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 14:32

Bored at work I am delving into the dangerous world of mn baby names threads. Oh my, some of those people are scathing. Its like a sport. It is strangely addictive.

Dildals · 05/04/2013 14:36

I just pm'ed you, you can entertain yourself reading that!

I know what you mean though ... why do I read up about turning breech babies?!?

OP posts:

keepitgoing · 05/04/2013 14:56

I read that too :(

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 14:59

I know you start browsing and end up reading random things. I'm going to stop though cause I've moved onto antenatal screening and it's making me worried.

ExpatAl · 05/04/2013 15:55

Stupid browsing on my part too. Was reading up on mmc. I find the names thread strangely fascinating too Shazza. Really must start doing more work.

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 16:06

Oh I've given up on work today. Only 25 mins to go now and it's highly unlikely that either of my male bosses are on MN and will realise that this is me!
Where to begin with the weirdo names that some people suggest.

ExpatAl · 05/04/2013 16:13

Not just the weirdo names but the brutal comments from those that don't like said names!

keepitgoing · 05/04/2013 16:37

I'm going for a bikini wax tomorrow. Copious googling suggests it'd fine. It's fine, isn't it?

Fine but I found it a lot more painful.

Shazzamattazzerly · 05/04/2013 17:13

Oh I know. Is it really necessary to be so mean? But I guess anyone who posts a name is setting themselves up for it. Those who partake seem to really go for it and enjoy it. That's why I say it's like a sport.

I had a wax a few weeks ago Keep. It was abit more tender. Maybe not the time to try a brazilian?

MarianaTrench · 05/04/2013 21:41

I cannot wait to be able to tend to my bikini line again, no chance at the moment.

I had an ante natal appointment today and had hysterics all over the (lovely) midwife. I started crying when she asked how I was and then I just couldn't stop, I was such a snotty, red faced mess. She even got me a cup of tea to calm me down and offered me a daily appointment to check the heart beat. The kinder she was to me the more I sobbed. I am a loon. I obviously needed a good cry though as I felt better but exhausted. I'm quite embarrassed now.
