First icsi

[lisey]

It is odd isn't it, I assumed it was just me with it being more painful there, I avoid it now.
Thanks for clarifying about the needles lol, I was panicking a bit

It is a welcome relief to be off work for a bit, I have been so busy though, lots of appointments to do with my son, long walks with the dogs and housework etc, I am enjoying a little sit down now, although not too enjoyable as I have a buserelin headache...have you suffered with night sweats at all? I am getting them now, its horrible.

Blueflower, I just responded to your journal, sounds awful. Glad you feel a bit better. I am glad they told you not to go back to work. I had 12 vials taken for my miscarriage testing, did make me feel a bit odd I have to say xx

 

[Blueflower]

12! Oh no! They may have been similar tests as these ones are offered after miscarriages too.
You take it easy and don't feel lazy, you deserve a rest!

 

[lisey]

Yeah they probably are similar tests, I felt so odd after, my OH just laughed it off as me being silly but he wasn't in the room and didn't see how much was taken. I am sure I made him buy me something sweet to help afterwards xx

 

[Blueflower]

Make him go with you next time you have a blood test! My OH has offered to come with me for the ones next week, bless him!

 

[lisey]

He was there but not in the room, it was a really small room, he wouldn't of fit in, more like broom cupboard sized room. Next time I might ask them to take 12 vials from him to see how he likes it. He was sweet to me after and made sure I had some sweet treats to perk me up xx

 

[Blueflower]

Definitely! Not sure if I will take him up on his offer, he's v impatient when kept waiting!
I will stop hijacking your thread now Sarah, sorry!

 

[FBTTN8079]

Now girls please do it's a group thread for any friendly face

I can't get over the amount of bloods they took ! Ek x

Lisey I haven't had any night sweats yet but I get the headaches and omg the tiredness have u had any ? I just get so tired x

 

[eclairef]

I'm on to some mixing tonight too as I start on cetrotide. I've been told that this one is worse and will feel like a bee sting and itchy after...just as I was getting used to the gonal-f! My husband is doing an amazing job so far with the injections. Another scan tomorrow to see how things are progressing. Don't know why but I'm feeling really nervous about it.

How is everyone else doing? x

 

[Blueflower]

It is really nerve wracking! You don't want to make a mistake with the expensive drugs or give yourself the wrong dose. But once you've done it, its fine and gets easier. None of us are nurse trained after all!
3 cheers to wonderful husbands!

 

[Browneyed Girl]

Definitely second that - my oh has been fab with the injections which has made the whole thing a lot easier! xx

 

[eclairef]

I'll definitely give 3 cheers, I'd never be able to do them on my own!

 

[FBTTN8079]

Lol defo three cheers, I'm a nurse & can't do them on my own ha ha!!!

Feel better now the first lot are f one xxx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Oh my days am I a cryer today lol !

Works a bit on top of me, we have sickness with our full time scanner so I'm scanning in place but I've got a full workload on top of that and we r only a small team and already over worked and understaffed, I'm now worrying about when I'm off and i know I shouldn't as theres a few people that wouldn't give a damn and now I'm just crying ! Man sorry and breath !!! X

 

[Browneyed Girl]

Aw you really shouldn't be getting stressed out at the moment - you've got to focus on yourself and your treatment. Does your boss know about you're going through ivf? Could you have a word and let them know you're feeling a bit overloaded? Don't worry about taking time off either, the work will still get done - it always does! xxx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Thanks hon, seem to have lost the ability to use "proper" language and slipped into my Essex lol !

My boss has been fab and knows what is going on but I hadn't really voiced any worries until this morning, I don't want to leave them in the lurch but this is just so important too, I just hate putting pressure on anyone but they were so good and said what will be will be, and your right the work will get done either way, and this is so much more important than any work or job.

I've had ny decaff tassimo and a girl swapped with me so I've got a morning to catch up on some bits which is well needed!

How are you feeling today? Have you heard anything yet? X

 

[Browneyed Girl]

Glad you have got a supportive boss, it makes so much difference. My boss has been great but we are mega busy and I feel guilty taking time off especially at short notice but that's the way it works - it's not our choice! You're totally right about other people not caring, I do care but sometimes it is right to put yourself first and this is one of those times so you have nothing to feel bad about xxx

I didn't know you were from Essex, one of my best friends lives down there although I don't get to visit as much as I'd like. I love watching TOWIE, I know Essex people probably hate it but I find it fascinating - I wish my life was a constant cycle of pampering, over the top lavish events and analysis of relationships. Actually scratch that, I'd hate it but I love watching it!

Your so right and I think it means that we care but like you say it's not our choice and its out of our hands with this process that we are all having to go through. Glad your boss is a good boss too, it really does help

Lol yup Essex indeed I am where abouts is your friend? I love TOWIE it is a complete guilty pleasure, it's defo over the top but like you say I'm sure it would be not too bad, nice cars, glamour and no work lol I love reality tv hubby laughs at me I love all the randomness of it all

I'm looking forward to celeb jungle, I love it anyway but Kendra is hilarious and I can't stand gemma Collins so i hope they have a scrap lol that's my plans for collection and transfer week trash reality tv catch up

 

[Browneyed Girl]

She's in Brentwood, I'll be arranging a trip in the new year (cant believe I'm saying that already!). I like I'm a Celeb as well but my oh cant stand anything like that so I don't get to see all the episodes - think I might stand a better chance given what I'm going through this week though haha!

I'm at home now and there's zip all on. I taped Miracle on 34th St the other day so I might get in the festive spirit and put it on now - I'm in the market for a miracle at the moment so it seems quite apt! xxx

 

[FBTTN8079]

Oh that's near me, my treatment is all at the Nuffield in Brentwood, sparkle town lol come down and see the delights

I'm sure you can wangle a few episodes for sure! Lol x

Now that does seem very apt, such a great Christmas film love Christmas, let's cross everything and hope we all get some miracle Christmas gifts this year x

 

[lisey]

I feel all Christmassy after reading your posts
Sarah, I am teary too and just feel a little low. I am tired like you, with awful headaches and of course the night sweats...down regulating hasn't been pleasant so far.
I am looking forward to I'm a celeb too, although I have to cover my eyes for some of the trials lol. We will all be relaxing when there are lots of feel good tv on, lots of corny Christmas films...perfect xx
