Hi Vicki, I've also heard that the pill is no good during pregnancy. If you go to the pharmacy they will let you know for sure what you can use. Welcome to the TWW!

Hi girls
Vikki: i dont believe you can take thrush treatment while preg! It may sound disgusting but natural yogurt on a tampon or just use your fingers (sorry TMI) works a treat though, it is cold and soothes the itching plus the live bacteria in yogurt help kill off the thrush, also eat lots of yogurt or get those little pre/probiotic drinks. Good luck.
DD: so sorry my luv its such a rough road, you sound so positive though, good on you hopefully next month will be your turn!!
TL: good luck with the big launch today
PG: yeeeehaaa on the transfer hope its a little sticker, 50/50 are pretty good odds i reckon. hope your TWW flies in.
Shel: one folli is all it takes and thats a good size too, good luck tomorrow
SP: Thanks, hope your going good.
peta; Thanks still getting pains, it really not excruiting just uncomfortable, dont you hate that you cant zip your jeans up (or is that just me )

Well as i mentioned im looking for some opinions as i think the FS is going to throw the ball back in my court this afternoon, i now have 5 follicles, 3 are on my left (including the biggest) which is the side with no tube, and i have 2 on the right side which are only about 15mm, do i do the IUI and risk the multiples thing or do i cancel??? It so hard to be lead with your head when your hearts doing all the thinking IYKWIM. I would love your very highly valued opinions as you all know where im coming from. Thanks

Hi All,
Well I'm devastated to say I'm back here in this thread. Got my much awaited BFP last Thursday and I don't need to say how thrilled I was- you all understand. Had some really light bleeding on the weekend and went in on Mon for what I thought would be a BT to reassure me everything was ok. But that wasn't the case. My HCG had dropped very low and I was losing my little one.

After a visit to FS on Tuesday, everything was confirmed and now I am just having blood tests every couple of days to make sure my HCG is going down and when it has reached 3 or under, I know I am out of the danger zone of this being another ectopic pg.

So now I wait..and wait..with a broken heart again. As soon as my HCG is right I'm head on into another cycle. Will be doing HRT again and also prednisone and oestrogen patches. All the big gums are coming out now it seems!! My big concern though is that I only have 2 little embies left and last cycle we had to thaw 4 just to get our 1 little one to implant.

I'm so thankful for the fact that I can get straight back into it. I'd really hate to sit around and think about all this. I know I need time to grieve but for me waiting around would just make me feel like I had no control at all over the situation.

So here I am...in a lot of physical pain today and the pain in my heart is at times overbearing. But I'm doing ok. I have a good support network of people who love and care for me very much and I will get through this. I'm trying to be really positive. I'll know I'll get that BFP again, I just hope it will be really soon.

Sorry for no personals today. I'm going to try and work out where everyone is at and then I'll chat to you all.

Take care everyone
Will chat soon

Hi

Oh bel tha that news is just awful. to you. Rest and take it easy. Easy for me to say but keep your chin up, stay positive and i am sure it will work for you when the time is right.

Viccki for you.I have got everything crossed 50/50 is pretty good odds in this game.

Pookie - the yoghurt idea is a good one try natural first and then go for the chemical.

Scooby - i hear you darling, me personally i dont want three kids two is my limit. But if you feel in your heart that you would be okay with multiples then go for it. Any chance at it working is better then a cancelled cycle.

Bel I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine the emotional pain that you are going through. I also agree with you about getting back into the cycles again as soon as possible. I don't think I could wait.

I'm sending you all the very best wishes and my thoughts are with you, your DH and your little angel.
