Hi everyone
I hope the weekend has been relaxing and restful for all. We've been getting ready for my IL's-to-be arrival next week leading up to the wedding - back to wedding preparations today (hopefully).
dusty 3 strong embies!!! WOW!!This great feeling that we all have for you is proving itself at the moment, isn't it!? That's your mother-instinct kicking, hun, wanting to get those embies back inside you! Thinking of you lots
Kell I figure you're probably off for EPU already this morning (hoping!), but just sending you lots and lots of good wishes that you're well and EPU goes well. 'Been thinking of you lots on the weekend. We're all thinking of you. BG's post last night was awesome and expresses it all wonderfully xo
Missy How are you doing? Weekend go ok for you, hun?
BW I understand your predicament for finding the best time and best options for a cycle and the stresses that are going on in your life - I chose to start mine the same day we got our fertility results, instead of waiting for next year as we are only here for a few more months into the new year before moving to the UK. As a result of that choice, it looks like my cycle is potentially going to (the way it looks atm) run not just towards my wedding, but interfere with my ILs arrival from the UK and our planned holiday to Tassie with them before the wedding. Although I wasn't informed correctly to begin with, I did make a choice where I knew it would be close to big events in my life. But it's all about balancing life's commitments, isn't it? And we don't regret the decisions we make, as we think about them long and hard and weigh things up. And it's all about balance. The further I get into this cycle, the more I realise what a big balancing act IVF is. Everything hinges on one thing or another in the cycle, and then that affects and alters everything else in your life. It's a big balancing act. Eeeek. I'm venting/blahing again - sorry. I just wanted to say I, (and I reckon everyone else!)understands the stress of balancing a cycle in your life. I hope that you have the support you need to help you through the stress of that. I know that you have it here
Melsta Thanks for sticking up for me late last week about the clinic staff and feeling like an idiot with them. Each time you ring them you speak to different nurse and it's a bit like pot luck... you never know the personality/mood of the nurse you are going to speak to beforehand. I will say that when I called about AF, the nurse I got was helpful and polite. They generally are. It's just when you're feeling hypersensitive about things, you don't need another person who's meant to offer you support to have a go/make you feel stupid. Thanks heaps, hun. I hope you're doing well at the moment.
Mon, BW, Mel1977, blackduckies, slyder and everyone else whom I might of missed, thank you all for your advice about AF after the pill and your experiences with it. It really, *really* put my mind at rest over the weekend.
But.... no AF yet. Today is day 7 since the pill and day 16 on synarel. I'm at home in pj's today, back to bed soon. A lot of difficulty sleeping last night - terrible AF cramps overnight and this morning and I feel like I'm in the middle of a bad AF right now physically, but not even a sign of it. Every night since last Thursday when cramping starting (progressively stronger each day), I've been thinking "maybe it will start overnight" - maybe it actually won't! Down-reg scan tomorrow morning - just trying to wait and see what FS says tomorrow - will ask lots of questions. The advice that everyone gave me here has helped a great deal (especially about AF)Also trying (lots of trying atm) not to get too stressed that it looks like this cycle is going to push into plans leading to the wedding (as mentioned above) if injections are delayed. Excuse the venting and the length of this post. Trying not to make a big deal out of this delayed AF and it's a bit of struggle, with the PMS symptoms
Think positive, Miss C!
Hugs to all, hoping for and looking forward to more good news in the thread!
