Anne- well done on jabbing. I am so cranky with your GF. If she did not want to do it she should of just said so. Being on the IVF train can se so emotional as it is without having friends adding to that. I think that has probaly added to your emotions ths week. But at least you now know you can jab ( even if you dont want to) Focus on the strengh of that. As that is what is important right now.
Kar- I have been way to busy this last week to read. ( Or do anything actully) I am still only half way though the book. Would not sujest to buy it at all right now. But if you want you can certainly have my copy once I finish reading it.
Sush- Good to see you pop in. We have missed you too.
Tam- How is things going? When is ET? How exciting! babydust babydust
Keen - I hope you are resting up and looking after yourself.
Leis- When do you head down south? Will you be stopping a freinds on the way home again? What day next week do you go in?
SuziQ- Hope you are resting that foot as much as you can. Hard now you are back at work. I just hope you are not overdoing it.
Chele- how are you doing honey?
Marg- You are allowed to get excited. It is exciting knowing that once you start a cycle that your dreams have a great chance of being fullfilled. And to be honest I dont think that if you got your hopes up or not that the fall ( if that is to be the fate) is any easier. But dont think about that as I am sure you are going to get that BFP!!!!
And to anyone I have forgotten to mention I do hope you are all having a great day!
Ann - sorry to hear you are having $hitty day but it will be because you are bottoming out on the Lucrin. I've found that when my estrogen levels drop the following two things happen.
One is that the rose coloured glasses I usually wear come off and I start seeing things in people that I haven't seen before. It is often quite insightful. The stark truth about what a person is really like can be revealed! It's almost like the getting of wisdom.
The second is that I overreact to things and start feeling like people are picking on me or that I am some kind of bad luck magnet. The parking ticket machine/computer/kitchen appliance will be broken, I'll get overcharged for something, the service will be lousy or the shop assistant rude and incompetent, the thing I have made a special trip somewhere to buy will be sold out... and I will be absolutely convinced its all aimed personally and directly at me... need I go on... you get the picture.
So when something really does happen that would usually cause a reaction, it hurts.
You will feel less $hitty in a few days when you start stimming. Do you know when yet?
ETA: I've been wracking my brains all day to try and come up with an analogy for the fear of jabbing. The closest I can come up with is standing on the side of the pool and knowing that it is going to be really cold for that instant you hit the water. Once you're in it's fine.
Ann, I agree with everyone else. That GF is not nice at all! And also maybe those rose coloured glasses are off & you are seeing the real her.
I don't do syringe needles myself, I've told DH that I don't want to get used to them. I think that's also because the Pregnyls hurt.
Sue, I hope 104 days is enough for your foot to get better!
Leis, seems so close now for your op, do you have some good, enjoyable plans for the week leading up to it, perhaps spoil yourself, or does that come after....
Marg, hope the phone appointment goes well. And off you go........ yah for starting.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Supposed to be a quickie, I'm sooooo busy with work, and trapsing across the countryside.
My PGD went well, my odds were good. out of the 6 embies, 2 were normal so I've had 1 put back this morning & 1 in the freezer.
Of the abnormal ones, there was no consistency in the abnormalities so it doesn't mean a 'health problem' occuring IYKWIM.
Interesting thing was that even though there were only 2 normal, 6 of them went to blast. So if I hadn't done the PGD, I would've been freezing abnormal embies, just waiting for the heartache later.
So it's a couple of weeks til testing for me so it's taking 1 day at a time.
Still lots for me to take in. I'm glad I did the testing, though maybe my credit card doesn't think so, lol
Hi girls
Leis - you out of the land of nod yet - how did it all go?
Tam, great to see you and yes, being distracted is the only cure for the 2ww - not long til beta?
Some of you may have seen my separate thread looking for gyno info for my 28 year old niece (been trying for 2 years uh oh...). Thanks Vicki for your response.
I have another question. I know there are a lot of pre-pg supplements out there: Elevit, Fefol, Blackmores PG Multi, Blackmores PG and BF Formula and Fabfoil (?) I may have some of those names wrong.
Can any of you ladies share your experiences with any of these? I took Elevit for my last stim cycle and it gave me cramps and *TMI* the dark olive green poop did nothing for me either - must have been the iron.
Anything else you can advise (apart from CM and temps - I've got a handle on that) to help would be appreciated. I'm so out of touch with the early days TTC stuff. Although it doesn't feel like early days for her, obviously. Doesn't help that her brother's wife has popped out two bubs in 2 years.
Anyway, hope you're all well and taking good care of yourselves.
Cheers
Sue
