Donor Conception General Chatter # 9

Hi Everyone

Well how is everyone going? On the countdown till christmas? Not long to go now!! I love christmas!! Still got lots of shopping to do but that's cool!!

Blizz - I hope your head is feeling better! Hope you had a nice early night.. :)

Gargy - I love your new avie!! So cool having a christmas theme!!

Tarkine - How are you going? Hope the pregnancy is going well!

Well AFM I am feeling all the side effects of pregnyl! I am soooo tired too... as soon as I get home from work I want to sleep! Just cruising along in the TWW... told DH I am not going to get my hopes up this time around, still going to think positive and all that but just taking each day as it comes and certainly not reading into any symptoms!! Would be an awesome christmas present though to get a BFP! :pray: :pray: :pray:

Joy - A BFP would be the best xmas present ever!! I hope you get one!

Things are fine here - getting bigger all the time.

Yay! I am finally a Belly Belly Member!!! :)

I am glad I am not having to be a single mum to twins with DH away though I really would go insane!!!

---

Yes, Blizz, that would be quite a difficult situation. But I guess it would keep you busy! :)

However for most people, although times get tough, they manage to battle through. I know this from my mother's situation - she had 5 children, and although she loved us dearly there were times she would have happily traded us to the pixies!

My mum also Gargy. :)

I would have just gone with the flow as I do with all things in my life if I had been told I was having twins

---

Yes Tarkine, change what you can and make the best of what you can't. Good way to do things. :)

Hi SD!

Glad you got the full membership - numbers must be higher than I first thought!

My mum also Gargy.

I think everyone's Mum has felt like that at least once! :D

Hi Gargy, What are you doing up so late??? :)

Hi all, sounds like everyone is cruising along quite well. Thought I'd just give you an update - had a scan yesterday and all looks as it should, so starting puregon injections tomorrow. Tad nervous - does it hurt very much?? Things feel like they're moving really quickly now with a follicle scan already booked for the 9th.

Have a great day!

Good Luck Lieve.

sorry Leive haven't been around much, not meaning to ignore you.
the injections are fine, small pain for a whole lotta gain!!!
good luck my sweets.

Lieve, the only time my injections hurt was when DH was giving them to me, and he had the shakes (so the needled moved)...If you don't push in to hard, just be gentle you'll be fine. They use tiny diabetic needles and the smaller the needle the less you notice it :)

Good luck hun!

Hi to everyone else :)

Hi Lieve

I didn't have any problems with the injections... only the Pregnyl injection which hurts!! It stings more than anything... I had my last one yesterday!!

We have our final blood test on Wednesday... not really feeling any different. Have been having some mild cramping & been getting indigestion the last few days. I really hope we get some good news... not sure how I will take the news if it is a negative... trying not to think like that though! Gets hard the last few days of the TWW.. you just want to know one way or the other! Anyway we are hoping hoping hoping we get a BFP!! :pray: :pray: Will let you all know the results on Wed.

Hey everyone,

Very busy (as everyone is) this time of year.

Just came in to give huge kisses and hugs and I'll catch up with you when I have more time.

Take care

Joy - just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best for tomorrow..

FYI..I hope there won't be a next time..but I discovered with the Pregnyl (yes i know it hurts like mad)..the slower you inject, you tend to avoid the stinging with this one..you have to go realllllllly slowly...

Hope you're all well..

Hi All

Well we had our final blood test today..... and guess what???? A :bfp: I cant believe it!! DH and I are both in shock but we are so excited too!! It's only early days so have to have a blood test once a week for the next 3 weeks and then week 7 have an ultrasound!!! I was crying when the nurse told us the news... I still cant believe it's happened!!

:dance::dance:

Woo hoo Joy!!! THat is wonderful news :happyforyou:

I hope the next 3 weeks fly and you enjoy this fabulous news.
xx

Yay Joy!!!!! Fantastic news:clap: Enjoy this feeling - makes it all worth it in the end, eh?

Well, I'm on day 8 of puregon, have another scan tomorrow to see how everything looks, as Tuesday's scan showed 14 follies but all only at 8-9mm, so I'm praying they've grown over the past few days. I'm now up to a 133.3 dosage - FS is playing it cautious. I feel there's a little race against the clock though, as MIVF closes over xmas, and their last EPUs will be on the 20th...so I need to get my eggies mature by then. C'mon :pray:

yay:dance::happyforyou::hooray: Joy, what a christmas present that is great news, hope the next three weeks fly by

Lieve, fingers crossed all falls in to place before the christmas break:goodluck:

as for me totally flat out preparing for the arrival of the jolly man in red...heres a scary thought......I am the jolly man in red:o!!!!!
will be in for a catch up soon not enough hours in the day at this time of year
