Sar - unfortunately no good looking arab man waiting to help dig me out. Just my husband! Darn it! I was hoping for the bloke in Sex and the City the one who Sam finds herself with. now that would have been an experience of a life time! ha ha ha ha
I am at Northampton. They have short bread, double chocolate, bourbons, custard creams... need I go on! Defo make a complaint as I am sure the biscuits are necessary to ease your nerves in the waiting rooms.
BRAZIL NUTS - how disappointing! I might start now anyway as its an excuse to eat more. I am such a piggy at the moment. What about a Walnut Whip?? lol
12 follies that is amazing and they are huge. I do not envy you about the HGC I am not looking forward to that one is looks quite big but then I suppose it is the last one hopefully and WILL be worth it! Isn't weird how your eggs can cause you soo much pain even though they are microscopic?
I think that everyone at my clinic is lovely too. They must see soo many people go through the same thing and ups and downs and be hoping for the same outcomes as we are all hoping for too.
Shopgirl - have you got the 2ww off? Put your feet up and don't do anything.
52 minutes til my next needle. I WILL NOT FORGET TODAY!

Great news Sar.....12 eggs thats fab!! Looks like you should be set for EC on thurs, I've everything crossed for you lovely.
Poor F&T.. holiday sounds like a holiday from hell. At least you sound like you have been able go laugh about it. Dont worry too much about the injection, if it's only a one off it shouldn't do any harm and wasn't like you forgot all together!!!! I do the same as Sar, only I have 2 alarms just incase I miss the first. I swear my phone goes off all the time. Alarm in the morning for folic acid, alarm at night for injection and now an alarm for /progesterone which I've started to take today (1 per day for 5 days, then 2, then 3.....so by next week I will be going off every half hour!!!!
Looks like things are moving a bit quicker now for me so treatment probably backend of next week/early week after!! Eeeeekk, really quite excited now! To top it all my interview today went really well, it was a second interview for one of the jobs I was interviewed for a couple if weeks ago...well they've said they want me to join them and have said they will have the offer out next mon/tues......cant believe it all happens at once....nothing for 16 weeks and now i go and get a job!!!!I'm going to try and drag it out as long as I can and tell them I have 2 weeks hols, hopefully to coincide with my 2ww......all a bit cloak and daggers really but not really much I can do. I'm determined to stay chilled so definately not starting a new job whilst I'm in the middle of treatment or even worse in my 2ww......if it's meant to be it will all work out I'm sure!!
Shopgirl, hope you are ok, time really drags in the 2ww.
Oh before I forget, the brazil nuts/pineapple are to help thicken your lining so think you should only take once you start stimming, the down reg should make your lining thin so you may want to lay off the nuts/pineapple as it may have an opposite effect!! I'm not sure if thisis right or not but that's the way I've looked at it....brazil nuts and milk for me at bedtime tonight.
Zanna, hope you are ok?
Love taz

F&T's also meant to say I always get really bad AF like pains whilst down regging, think it's your ovaries shutting down so don't worry too much

Hi girls, sorry for late reply! Lots going on! ET was fine, one embryo on board but the 2nd one wasn't behaving itself & although the plan was to freeze it last minute just before we were about to leave they told us they wanted to keep an eye on it & take it to blastocyst. Unfortunately today the informed me that although it was a blasto it had developed funny cells or something & is no longer viable & we have lost it 
So now we are just down to the one! Hopefully it's getting comfy! Had a bit of a melt down today as I couldn't help but feel upset about it all. I know we are better off finding out now than freezing it & it not making it through the thawing process but it still totally sucks! & I know it only takes one but it just feels so much harder when all our hopes are pinned on this 1!
OTD is the 19th so not too bad really although I'm sure I won't be saying that next week! I'm in work during my 2WW (although been taking it easy!) but things are looking pretty quiet do I might try & take a few days Hol this week & next. After today I feel emotionally drained! Anyway sorry for blabbing on about myself! Glad you are all doing well with scans/stimms/down reg etc! It all sounds really positive!!
Gonna have an early night & try & chill! Will chat again tomorrow when hopefully I can think straight!
Xxxxx |

Arrrhhhh shopgirl, like you say it only takes one.....perhaps try and think about it another way....this little embie survived the process for a reason. I'm a great believer in fate....!!
I only got 2 embryos from 9 eggs last time and both took....I too was really disappointed as we had 7 fertilised eggs but when it came to ET only 2 were good enough so had none to freeze. It was my DH that said they had survived for a reason and that really helped me...hope it helps you too xxx
Zanna...we are all here?

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread. I had IUI on Thursday (first attempt) been told to test myself on the 22nd August. The waiting is killing me. Today I have been feeling sickly (most of the day and still now)
I haven't got a clue if its a real feeling that I'm having or its just my mind playing games with me:o(
22nd can not come soon enough for me |

Hi chestnutgirl, welcome to the thread, of course we dont mind you joining us.... the more the merrier!! The wait until OTD is such a tough time and we all analyse every little twinge which unfortunately seems to make the time go even slower Hope the sickly feeling is a good sign  got everything crossed for you Hun.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Ladiessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I have just taken my HCG jab the last of the bunch and it was so much better than last time as it was all pre mixed for me so no faffing about. I am so relieved all that stabbing is over.
Welcome Chestnutgirl its nice to have another member join us. Your very welcome to plod along with us. Very exciting though that your in 2WW. Lets keep our fingers crossed it works for you. In my last attempt I think I imagined every symptom going. I couldnt wait till the 16th day so I tested 2 days early and got my positive result. I think this time I will try to wait. Probably wont be able to though LOL  Which clinic you with?
Fingers you sound like my type of buddy! LOL I can't believe that you get all those biscuits! How wonderful. You have to laugh when I went to see the nurse yesterday she asked if I had any questions and I said are the lunches still the same because I had a wonderful lunch last time I had EC. LOL. trust me to think of my stomach!!! oh and I also asked for a good looking aneathetist. LOL. From what I remember the one I had last time weren't too bad!
Zhanna - how the devil are you? hows things going?
Shopgirl - hopefully your little one will be snuggling in now all cosy. They do say it only takes one. As with Taz i had 9 eggs and 7 fertilized and they put 2 back and were going to freeze 1 as the others were not of good enough quality but the embyologist saw me after they had put the 2 back in and said she didnt think that the last one would last either so i had to give it up. You just got to keep positive and my mate says eat chocolate so it thinks your a lovely sweet person and it will want to stay LOL.
Taz fabulous news re the job well done you. What will you be doing? You made me smile with all your alarms. I had to set mine twice tonight too so I didnt forget to take that last jab.
Well I have managed today to clean my house from top to bottom what with the mother and father coming tomorrow I thought I had better make an effort!! LOL. I even cleaned all the windows downstairs inside and out!!!! think I must have had a spurt of energy although I now feel exhausted. My ovaries have been giving me some pain today too. I hate this bit because I am worried that the follies might pop before I get to the clinic. LOL. that would be a disaster!!!
Well off to put my feet up now for a bit and watch some Only Fools and Horses I love that and I thought laughter would be a good stress reliever.
Sleep well all. May not get back on now till after EC so have a good couple of days and will try to catch up Friday. |

Morning everyone,
Sar....no more jabbing....yeah!! Are you still on target for Thurs? (know youve said you may not get on until Friday but just in case you do.....good luck!! oh and hope you get a good looking aneathetists/beltin lunch....lol you do make me laugh!!)
Can you believe it, I got asked to go for another job yesterday.......WTF??? I've had 16 weeks of nothing as just as I start treatment they come along like buses!!! The 2nd job is at a much more senior role (which is what I was doing previously), its a tough decision, if treatment works then the one from Monday is ideal, no where near as much pressure/responsibility, but if it doesn't work Iknow I will be bored. However the one yesterday would be perfect if the treatment doesn't work but a nightmare if it does! When I was pregnant last time I miscarried the day after I had to make 5 of my staff redundant and I am convinced that the stress of it all had something to do with the outcome of my last treatment......think I've just answered my own dilemma........don't go for the stressful job even though its a hell of a lot more money!! lol
Shopgirl, hope you are keeping those feet up and only doing gentle exercise (short walks)? I was in my 2ww all over Xmas last year, it was a killer but at least there was a lot going on to keep me amused and plenty naff TV to watch too!! However the weather was really bad so I was terrified of walking anywhere in case I slipped on the snow!
Fingers, you make me laugh too re your biscuits. I had my last treatment at Northampton and the staff there are lovely (the biscuits are lovely there too!!). I'm at a different clinic this time (sorry cant say as don't want to get barred for disclosing too much info as a egg recipient!). Staff are just as lovely but snacking facilities arent!! lol
Zhanna, hope things are ok with you? Im sure you were starting treatment mid August? so not long now for you to wait.
Chestnutgirl, hope you are staying sane during your 2ww? Think you said this was your first time using IUI.....got everything crossed for you. Your nearly half way there now. Are you working or do you have some time off? Its a bit like the devil and the deep blue sea isn't it......work will keep you occupied so time doesn't drag as much, but work is tiring, not relaxing etc.......I don't think it makes a jot of difference TBH, look at all the normal pregnancies where people don't know they are pregnant and work/have all life's stresses going on around them.
Good luck to everyone

Hi ladies,
Just a quick one,
Sar, hope EC went ok yesterday, dying to hear your news! Hoping those little embryos are dividing nicely and that you may be having ET tomorrow if you are not taking to blast? Wishing you all the luck in the world xx
Fingers, think it's your down reg scan today, good luck Hun! I'm sure everything will be ok and that you will start stimming soon xx
Shopgirl, hope you managed to get a day off this week to chill out, you are now already a week in to your 2ww, only one more week to go....whoppie!! Hope you have been keeping positive and taking plenty rest xx
Taz xx |

| Hi everyone, hope you all have had a good week. I've been really busy so haven't had much time to think about things which is good however I did do a test last night mainly out of curiosity which proved negative. Im know its far too early to test so not dishearten just yet, however this time next wee might be a different matter lol |

Hi chestnutgirl,
It's very quiet on here lately? I've been looking out for any new posts from the others but all gone quiet.
Sorry to hear about your negative test but like you say it really is far to early to test so try and stay positive. I was allowed to test early by the clinic last time due to xmas holidays and the need to get a further prescription if the result was positive, anyway the clinic told me that I could rest on day 14 as that is the first date that a'true' response could be achieved. That said I've seen people test a couple of days before OTD and get a bfn to then test on their OTD and get a bfp.....keeping my fingers crossed that you will get a bfp on your OTD...if you can last that long before testing again!!! Lol
Sar, hope you are ok? Presuming ET today or Monday, I'm still thinking about you x
Fingers, hope everything went ok yesterday at your downreg scan and you can start stimming soon xx
Shopgirl, I've seen a couple of posts from you on the other threads...hope you are keeping sane, not long now until your OTD xx
Take care everyone
Taz xx |

Hi Everyone
Sorry I have not been on for a while i have had my egg collection which went very well I got 7 eggs and 5 were mature and 3 fertalized so i was pleased with that. i went back today and had 2 put back 1 was a grade 1 4 cell and the other was a grade 1 2 cell. Mr Sedler did it and it was the first time i met him and he was so lovely. in fact had rather a pleasant morning got chatting to the other ladies and their respective others in teh waiting room and we were having a great laugh. I told them about the forum and I am hoping they might pop on and come and join in our chats as we got on well.
So i am in 2WW now and i feel exhausted. I got told as i am a lady of a slightly higher bmi (which i thought was a lovely way of saying I was fat) that I need to have extra folic acid so i am now on my usual Pregnacare tablet plus 5mg's of folic acid a day!! Fingers crossed it works.
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Chestnut girl keep positive it aint over till its over and your HCG jab will be mucking up any results too early so hold out chuck.
My mum and dad bless them have been there all the way through mum is just cooking my tea as I type which is nice. In fact she has just shouted me that its ready so must go.
Will try to pop on again in a couple of days.
Happy days all.

Hi Sar, great to hear from you. Good to hear about your two little embies, hope they are snuggling in and getting comfy! You mentioned you had 3 eggs that fertilised does that mean you got a frosty too? Lovely to hear that your mum and dad are spoiling you, nothing like being back with m&d even though we get older..lol
I haven't heard anything about doubling up on folic acid...? I too am a lady with a higher (than i would like) bmi so I may ask when I have my scan this week. I was told just to take folic acid on it's own, not pregnacare, which I was previously taking (infact still have boxes of the things in my cupboard....damn three for two offers!!) so I will see what they say to me.
Would be lovely to get a few more cycling ladies on here to give us support, must admit I'm getting a bit nervous about things as time goes on. Found out yesterday that one of my friends brothers cycle was unsuccessful and it threw me a bit, guess I've been positively thinking that it will work again this time but when I heard the news it just brought it all home to me. Anyway that's enough of my whinging!!! Hope you are sat with your feet up and your beloved chocolate (not too much mind!), dont want littlies od'ing on sugar
Fingers, hope you are ok too Hun xx
Chestnut girl hope you are ok and patiently awaiting your OTD....I've got everything crossed for you Hun
Sending lots of sticky baby dust to all
Taz xx |

OMG I just wrote a reply and then lost it all! Damn thing.
Welcome Chestnut - hope you are not feeling too sicky. Don't worry about your test I am sure it was way way too early and all will be good on 22nd. not too long now. 
Taz - Sorry have been absent and hpoe you weren't too lonely. Been really busy and my sister went back into hospital with her infection so its been back and forth to Oxford. Also been trying to get things around the house and garden sorted so I can relax come EC and ET.
good news about the jobs. Have you made your mind up yet about which one to take? I would def go with the least stressful. The green stuff would be very tempting for me (hubby calls me a gold digger sometimes) but I manage 13 staff at present and had a really stressful day and it does make you wonder whether it is all worth it! Today I want to know WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST DO WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO DO!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!! Ok stress over! lol
Any news on your lady yet and when things will happen for you?
Sar - Good looking aneathetist ... ha ha ha. Just a shame that you probably weren't looking your best at that time. My friend at work had an unsuccessful cycle last year and said she remembers going in for EC and seeing a woman who had just been in but who also looked like she had had a labotomy! If that is how you spell it i can't be bothered with spellcheck today. YYEEYYY - 2 embies on board!!!!! I hope you are feeling ok and taking it easy. Can I borrow your parents in my 2ww? When is test day? Did you get a nice looking aneathetist? Is Mr Sedler a dish!??? ha ha ha
shopgirl - how are you? did you manage to get any time off work? not long now til test date I hpoe all is good.
got my down reg scan tomorrow. I am still bleeding a little which is odd for me as i normally only bleed for 3 days but this is my 7th. Will they still do the scan? Is it normal? no ruddy idea!!! |

Sorry Chestnut this is my first time with IVF/ICSI. Why don't you post something on the general forum and see if anyone responds.
Hope you are doing ok? |

Hi ladies,
Nice to hear from you fingers, sorry your sister is poorly, hope it's nothing serious? I'm still waiting to hear about the jobs but like you say think I will go for the least stressful one. I used to manage 25 staff and it used to drive me nuts!
Dont worry about your bleed they will still do the scan. They told me that it didnt matter when I went for mine but I hadn't had my bleed then, anyway it caught up with me the same day as scan! It's probably not unusual to bleed a bit longer, the down reg should make your lining very thin so a good clear out (sorry tmi!!!) before you start stimming is probably ideal.
Hope the scan goes ok xx Im due my lining scan this week (sorry can't be specific due to ED) so hopefully not long now for me to wait until im in my 2ww....bit scary!!!
Sar, hope you are enjoying having your mum and dad run around after you, hope you are not getting too stressed out waiting, know I am dreading it!
Chestnutgirl, hope you are ok? I got my bfp 14 days after ET but I'm not sure if it's different with iui, seem to recall they tell you only to test after 18 days (usually 16 days with IVF). Sorry I know that's probably not the answer you wanted but the best things are worth waiting for xx
Shopgirl, hope you are ok hun? Not long now till your OTD. Got everything crossed for you.
Sorry not a long post but on my phone and it drives me mad!
Lots of baby dust to you all xx |

Hi Everyone
Well 4 days in and I am still in pain got period like cramps and terrible back pain and I am exhausted had to have an afternoon nap yesterday (mind you then when bed time came I couldnt get to sleep) I seem to be waking up every 2 hours!!
Well mum and dad have gone home now so I am sat twiddling my thumbs as they say rest up so I dont really want to do too much but I am bored stiff doing nothing.
Taz I think going for the less stressful job is the better option too.
Fingers sorry to hear about your sister. Honestly I chat on a couple of other forums and there are so many people not well out there. Its a damn shame. Hope that she soon recovers. I cant offfer much advice re the down reg etc as I dont think I did that! I just went for it!! LOL.
Decided I feel like a beached whale sat at this computer I am not comfy at all so wont stay on much longer.
Chestnut girl I too tested on day 14 as I just couldnt wait any longer. I got one of those digi ones that tells you how many weeks you are pregnant and it came up 2-3.
Zhanna and Shopgirl I hope your both ok
Keep smiling everyone we still have a long road to walk |

Hi Ladies
Hope you are all well.
Sar, 4 days in......so only another 10 days to go if you are going to be a naughty girl and test a wee bit early? Im totally dreading the 2ww as know it goes so slow...... last time I was right in the middle of xmas (OTD was 1/1!) and time dragged then even though we were busy with family visits etc so this time I know its going to go even slower with me not being in work....yet (more shortly!).
Hope the period pain cramps/back pain are implantation cramps as your littlies snuggle up and get comfy 
I'm not sleeping well either think its just our minds are running at 100 miles an hour, even when we think we have switched off the whole ivf worries turn up and bite us on the bum!
I've had really bad shoulder/neck pain for a week now, which has meant that ive had trouble trying to get comfortable at night . At first I thought I had slept in a draught but symptoms seem to have got worse so I eventually looked at the instructions on the buserilin and sure enough....there it was 'bone or muscle pain such as shoulder pain or stiffness!!...super! Hoping I've not got too long left on the injections.
Fingers, How did your scan go today? hoping that you are now down regulated so you can start your stimming.... we will probably be in our 2ww together(ish) if things go to plan.
Anyway, my dilemma......I got offered that job today (the less stressful one but in reality a big backward step in terms of career), everything is great and people seem really nice and they offered me exactly what I asked for in terms of money etc so I decided to accept the job and should start middle of sept (should know outcome of treatment by then)...yippee!! I felt quite happy and excited about the new job in a new company only to find out later this afternoon that I had also been requested to a 2nd interview at the other job!!. My heart tells me that I should still go with the less stressful job as if this treatment works it will be perfect....however my head tells me I am silly to take a backward step, putting my life on hold all over again when in a couple of weeks I may be desperately needing a new challenging job to help me get over my disappointment....grrrrrr!! Im in a right pickle! Going to go up and see my Dad tonight and chat through....he's great at giving me sensible advice. When I had to make a decision about donor eggs he was the one who made things really clear (I acutally thought they would be dead against it being catholic) but he just asked whether I thought I would look back in a couple of years and regret not trying with DE rather than going straight down the adoption route....I know he was right and whilst adoption is still our next step I know I would have had regrets if I hadnt tried.
Sorry, waffled on a bit there didnt i!
Chestnutgirl, did you post on the general forum for any advice? Hope you are still trying to be patient, I think you will be 14 days on thursday so perhaps not to long for you to wait?
Love to everone else, hope you are ok?
Taz xx |

Hi all
Taz - I know what you mean about your phone doing your head in. I typed out a reply to your post last night on my phone and then lost it all! Decided to go to sleep instead of write it all out again as was getting too annoyed.
I hope you have spoken to your dad and he has filled you with his wisdom and helped you make your mind up. You do seem to be really in two minds about this because the other day I was sure that you were going to take the less stressful job and stick with that one. What is the difference between the two positions and why would it be a step backwards? I don't think it would hurt going for the second interview at the other place too even if you get offered that job too. Could you not accept both and then just turn up at either office depending on your result (which fingers crossed will be a good one)??
Sar - no fair your parents going home - part timers! I bet you are bored hun but better to rest up and give yourself the best possible chance. Sorry you are not feeling too good. Shame you can't have a nice long soak in the bath to ease that back ache. If you have a PC def time to upgrade and get an ipad or laptop so that you can get comfy whilst chatting.
Sister ok. She got knocked in the belly a few months ago and her ab muscles have become infected as not able to heal properly. Septic and sore and painful. She has a pot belly and is constantly in pain but they keep fobbing her off. Hopefully another course of antibiotics will help her. I hope so!
I know that my 2ww is going to DRAAGGGG. The last 3 weeks that I have been down regging have gone by soo quickly I just know that once I am in the 2ww the time is going to stop just to spite me. plus I am taking the 2 weeks off and husband is adamant that I am not going to be doing anything but i am a huge fidget and am going to struggle. If the candles on the side are wonky i have to move them so it will be agony.
I have had some terrible back pain the last few weeks which I was confused about as my mattress is sooo comfy being memory foam and i have never had problems before. Anyway decided that it must be something to do with the bed and went to John Lewis and got a pillow for ...wait for it..... £70! OMG. Hasn't helped but it is latex and lovely and bouncy. Plus it is quite big and so i now take up most of the bed.
Do you think that the side affects taking the buserelin and other drugs are real or that we all just look at the possible side efffects and then start getting them? i am not sure as i think i have had all of them now ;( not feeling too good at all really
Scan went well. Didn't realise how clinical today was going to be. I actually went downstairs to the hospitally area which was quite scary. Had scrubs and everything. Legs on stirrups is not lady like at all is it! The nurses are going to call me int he next couple of days to tell me when i can start stimming. Still bleeding and pain is well painful but all for a good cause so i am not going to complain too much. just keep telling hubby my legs hurt from the injections and my belly hurts from the bleeding and i get lots of cups of tea and treats so all is good.
ooooh Sex Education show is on now. Don't know why but I love that programme. Maybe its coz I can laugh a people's button mushrooms! ha ha ha ha

Haha fingers...you are soooo funny!...... I need one of those pillows!! Is it one of those maternity pillows you can cuddle??? Im definately having one of those if I get my BFP and get to 12 weeks ....although not told DH yet, don't think he will be too chuffed I already lie diagonal across the bed when I am asleep!!
Yes went to see my Dad, god love Dad's how cool are they??? Always make me rationalise difficult situations and I end up coming away thinking 'why did I get my knickers in a twist in the first place'!!
I think I just went into panic mode when I had accepted the job at the Company which I really like then got the call about the better job (but less favourable Company). I know in my heart of hearts that I can't do the better job and bring up a family and if all fails this time then we will be going down the adoption route and the job I have accepted will be far more sensible. Work/Life balance was soooo wrong before, something which I have learned since being off....so why would I want to go back to that??
The provisional start date on the accepted job is after we will have results from cycle (given myself a week and a half leeway for a wheels off scenario!) so everything slots into place nicely.
I've decided I am not going to go for the other interview, have figured it will only confuse matters and in reality I must follow my heart (and probably now my head), in terms of money its not actually that much different and the new role I can work from home too...which will be an added benefit for sneeky scans if we are successful!!
Sorry to hear about your sister....ouch that sounds v painful!! hope the antibiotics do the trick this time.
I wonder if your back pain is down to buserelin too? I purposely didn't read the leaflet so I wasn't imagining all the side effects, albeit things do seem to have calmed down now I've actually realised that its just a side effect and I am not dying...lol!
The staff at Northampton are so lovely and I remember going downstairs for the legs in stirrups bit..... very different at my current clinic and staff are just as lovely....but no biscuits!!
Anyway, hope you get your call soon and you can start stimming......poor DH he doesnt know whats going to hit him!
Night ladies
