I am definitely on this spectrum, my OH will agree with that

Enjoy your walk Sarah, its lovely taking them our for the first time xx

 

[FBTTN8079]

How is everyone?
How did your trigger go Lisey? All ok? X

 

[lisey]

Yeah the trigger was fine, I was worried as had to do it in my leg whereas all others have been in stomach, wasn't painful though. So nervous that I will ovulate before collection though, getting myself in a tizz.
How are you feeling? Are you still off work at the mo? xx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Ah glad it was ok Hon that's good, don't worry that's normal I felt exactly the same but as hubby said to me they time it so they know so it should all be just right, still hard not to be worried though hey ! X

Its terrible lol I'm still off I'm taking today & tomorrow as they r the heavy clinics and yesterday I started doing more and my good old ma & pa are taking me out for the day today, no idea where just told wrap up warm love em x

Do you think we started off weird or LTTTC sent us doolally?!
Yes the ovitrelle is perfectly timed for collection but it seems too long before!

 

[FBTTN8079]

Ha ha blueflower my hubby would probably say I've always been weird lol! I defo think LTTTC has also sent us alll doolally he he x

I hope you have a lovely day with your parents, hopefully it will take your mind off of symptom spotting, even though I am sure its near on impossible. I just know I will be the same, worried about cramps and then worried if I don't feel anything, want sore boobs but then remember than I get them all the time anyway!! xx

Oh I am sure I started off weird but I think ltttc has made me more so, I asked my OH to wish my eggs good luck today as I was going in for collection (and he did, lol, just to humour me ) xx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Thanks Hon we went to duxford, hubby told them I wanted to go so we had a gentle stroll round it was great, I've been a bit emotional today it's so hard not watching or listening to anything and everything so back tomorrow to work which will be a good distraction x x

 

[Browneyed Girl]

Hi hun how are you doing keeping the crazy away? Has time ever gone this slooow?! xxx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Omg it's sooooo hard isn't it and sooooo slow I didn't know it would be so hard! I'm looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow!

Your scan is next Thursday isn't it?
How are you feeling? Any different x

 

[lisey]

Sounds like a lovely day, apart from being emotional of course, hopefully work will help xx

 

[Dee28]

Time must be going in slow motion! I hope work is a distraction to see you through the next week and a half :-0 xx

I'm ok thanks - a few stretching pains and some nausea but nothing major. I'm tired but it doesn't help that I'm going to the loo a couple of times in the night and then setting my alarm for 5.30 so I can lie down for an hour with the progesterone pessary in before I have to get up for work! How are you finding the pessaries?

My tests have been getting darker so I probably won't do another one until next weekend now. I'm hoping that this is all good and my scan next Thursday will bring good news.

I wasn't prepared for how hard the 2ww is - I hadn't given it much thought to be honest! I think going back to work does break it up a bit. I am totally wishing this week away! xxx

Good glad your ok, you must be knackered, must feel very surreal?
I keep getting up to pee in the middle of the night so annoying lol
Pessaries are ok, I went back door for the day or so after collection but I prefer the other, they didn't tell me to lie down after using mine? Although the nighttime one I do before bed anyways?

Glad your tests are progressing it's so hard not to worry I bet! I have everything crossed for you x

It's madness the tww isn't it! If it was a normal month ttc we would just be going about our day but knowing that we've been through the process and transfer has happened and having to be careful for two weeks and not even knowing if anythinhs worked it's so hard x

 

[FBTTN8079]

Just randomly if I am 4dp4dt how would that work dpo or implantation wise ? Just interested lol x

 

[Blueflower]

Egg collection counts as ovulation day and implantation can occur 6 days after collection or the day after a 5 day transfer.
I had to lie down to stop the pessaries falling out so switched to back door so I could get on! They don't leak out that way either.

 

[Browneyed Girl]

It's weird how you're aware of all the stages you wouldn't normally know about - ovulation, the exact day of fertilisation etc. it is mentally very tough as you just want to know if it's worked. I found as I got closer to OTD that I wanted to test less though!

It does feel strange that I'm pregnant, I wasn't expecting to be that lucky! Trying to focus on little milestones. The hospital told us to sit or lie down for 15-20 mins after putting the pessary in but I like to give it at least an hour to make sure the progesterone is absorbed. I find the fat it's held in melts very quickly and runs out so I get paranoid about not leaving it in long enough. Are you on cyclogest? xx

 

[Browneyed Girl]

4dp4dt is the equivalent of 8 dpo, you just add the numbers together x
