Emerald - how scary for you hun, so glad that all is well with bub and hoping he/she settles down nicely soon and doesn’t give you any more scares
Chrissy - had to have a little laugh reading about you and your water intake. I would make this wee joke at work, that if anyone was looking for me and couldn’t find me, I’d be in the loo!!! Having said that, I did try and build up to the 3L before we started cycling, otherwise I wouldn’t had a hope!
MelTTC - I was the same in the 2ww. The first week, I was absolutely fine but 2nd week was an absolute write-off. I did end up doing a test right before my BT was due, simply because we live in a rural area so were going to have to drive to get the BT and I really didn’t want to be wandering around the shops and get bad news that I wasn’t prepared for. However, I have absolutely everything crossed that the only news you will get will be good news
M2B - so sorry about your chem pg hun, so so close L. Good luck for your FET, I’’m counting down the days before AF arrives so we can get going on ours
JBM - woohoo for IVF/ICSI 2 being so close!! Hoping time flies by for you
Murraycod - heehee, I too own all of the Twilight books!!! Vampire fiction is normally something I absolutely hate but there’s just something about Twilight that’s got me hooked!! That sucks that your FET was cancelled, FX you have better luck next time
Lairdoz - huge huge hugs to you hun. Take care of yourself and give your DH a big boot up the backside cos I think he needs it.
Juniper - I think my DH would tell everyone that during a cycle, I have my moments but on the whole am not too bad. However, right now, when we are not doing anything but waiting, I am horrible. I am the world’s biggest b!tch by day then I cry at night. Poor guy, I don’t think he knows what to do with me atm. Doesn’t help that AF is due any day (YAY) but because I’m trying to shake a few kg, have been denying myself of chocolate. Not a good plan, for a chick with raging PMS not to eat chocolate!!!!
Loops - hey there hun!! Just wondering why it takes so long for your BT results to come through. Honestly, I do these tests ALL the time cos of where I work and they take 1hr, 2hrs tops. Even if they aren’t marked urgent, results should still be through within the day. Did you put your big girl panties on and get stroppy at all with your clinic with all the crap they are putting you through? Hoping you get a bit further with your FS on Wed. And that those headaches are nothing at all.
Renee - hope your body comes to the party and o’s really soon. I was actually gob smacked when I o-ed only a day or two later than normal this cycle. I think my progesterone is really really low this month though and that’s the only difference I’ve noticed post stim cycle. Were you given the choice of a natural or medicated FET cycle? I assumed I would have to go natural as my cycles are fairly regular. I didn’t want to go natural as I stupidly get really stressed when I think I should be about to O ( to the extent, it has delayed it in the past). So you can imagine my surprise and relief when I received my pack full of E2 tablets. I think transfer will be about three weeks after I start pill popping, prob sometime this week.
A huge huge welcome to all the new girls in here, may your stays be short and sweer
Me - its been a bit of a rough week this week. My sister started ttc a month ago. She has a history of anorexia/bulimia yet that still didn’t stop her BFP happening first pop. Happy for her but still . . . Big heaving sigh for us. To make matters worse, she had her antenatal bloods sent to my work confidentially cos she didn’t want me to find out through work but some bright spark at work got confused by it and came to me. Bingo, no longer a secret. We are planning a big trip for later on this year so will focus on that rather that my own self pity!!
