[MrsS15]

That's great Millie, how exciting!! Not so great on the not sleeping though let us know how you get on!

I've not heard any updates from the hospital about how things are progressing but I'm presuming this is good news? I'm in tomorrow at 12,so hoping its still all good news xx

 

[lisey]

If you haven't heard then thats means you have some good embies in the running. Otherwise they would want you in earlier

Good luck Millie xx

 

[MrsS15]

Thanks lisey that makes me feel better so excited for tomorrow! We're going to have a lovely lunch after transfer xx

 

[lisey]

Yeah they wouldn't risk it. You might even get some frosties
A nice lunch after sounds good, keep the positive thoughts, rest but not too much. Its good to keep blood flow going. Acupuncturist says keep feet and tum warm and have warm foods, nothing too cold (icecream, milkshakes etc). You don't have to follow that lol, just passing on what I was told Best of luck, I have a good feeling for you xx

 

[xMillie]

All looked good so we're starting today
2x 150ml of merional a day, different drug and different dose
Back on Friday to see how things are going!


MrsS, not long for you now
Hope everything goes well xx

 

[MrsS15]

Thanks lisey, that's great advice. I'll definitely try it all! I bought some nice soups to make and hearty dinners, I'll hot water bottle my feet at night too. Got some pineapple and Brazil nuts just cos I'm willing to try anything some Frosties would be fab too!! Thanks again lisey, you've been a big help!

That's great Mille, so excited for you. Fingers crossed this is it for you! And thank you, this time tomorrow I'll hopefully have a little extra on board xx

 

[Syd43]

Great news Millie. I've literally just had my scan, waiting to see the nurse.

 

[Syd43]

Leah, no news is definitely good news. I didn't get any updates after day 2 and still had 3 doing more or less what they should have been by day 5.

You are more than welcome. I am not sure pineapple is recommended as can cause uterine contractions if too much is eaten? I might be remembering it wrong but I know I avoided it in the wait and in the beginning of pregnancy.
I had lots of hearty soups too. Are you going to have one or two transferred? xx

Fab news Millie, good luck with this cycle. Good luck to you too syd xx

 

[xMillie]

Hope everything went well, Syd x

MrsS, I really do hope you have something on board x

I might try take a nap, I don't want this lack of sleep to ruin anything, the last few days I've probably only been getting 5 or 6 hours. I'm sure something keeps waking me up!

Facebook has just reminded me that it's the 5 th anniversary of when I miscarried (mmc at 12.5 weeks)

How awful. What was the reminder? xx

I had a really horrible vivid dream the night the baby died - a dream about slitting open bellies, stealing souls & killing an angel. It was so weird I posted the details of the dream on facebook, saying "I shouldn't be having a dream like this on Easter Sunday".

A few weeks later, I was told baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks 2 days, which was that day.
Earlier that day, my abusive ex had made me walk over 9 km despite me begging him to stop as I was feeling unwell, so I just know it was that day.


Well, the hospital has been in touch today and I have a follow-up consultation lined up with a doctor in a month's time. AF started on Saturday night (about 36 hours after I last took a cyclogest).

 

[tinselcat]

Good luck Millie & Syd!

And also Mrs S, I agree that no news is good news. I've never made it to day 5. With your earlier positive-sounding news I'm really hoping you get some frozen embryos too!

[MrsS15]

Oh I'm not sure then lisey. I just read that pineapple core for the first few days is good for implantation. I could be wrong though so I'll double check! Only getting one transferred

Millie, thank you. I hope so too! I felt the same as you about sleep. I've been doing permanent night shifts and I was getting 4/5 hours sleep. I was sure it would have an effect but couldn't do anything about it. Things have turned out okay for me but if you're getting the opportunity to sleep extra I'd do it!

Tinsel that's so heartbreaking. And what a vile man! How are you feeling about the follow up and your period arriving? Xx

 

[MrsS15]

Just seen your message syd, thank you. And tinsel too! I've been telling my hubby it must mean things are going well otherwise they would have told us. Tomorrow is day 5 so I'm hoping a few of them have done well. Getting 1 to frost too would be a total dream! Xx

 

[xMillie]

First injection done

It might be then. I am not sure. Also, don't put hot water bottle on stomach, too much heat not good. And avoid hot baths. I had showers or warm baths. I sound so bossy lol. Even the hospital told me that, wasn't just the acupuncturist. I am so excited for you xx

 

[MrsS15]

Not bossy at all I appreciate all/any info! I know about no hot baths or hot water bottles - 2 things I love typically. So I'll stick to the hot water bottle on my feet and showers. I love a roasting bath so I know a warm one won't cut it lol! I feel so exited about tomorrow. My hubby keeps saying tomorrow you'll have our little baby on board and he's so sweetly excited. It's making me even more desperate for this to work! Xx

 

[MrsS15]

And well done Millie, that's you on way to your baby xx

Me too. I like a turn your skin red bath. The things I am looking forward to after I have had bubs is a proper full caffeine coffee and a boiling bath!! Xx

 

[MrsS15]

Aw I don't blame you. That'll be such a treat have you picked a name for your girl?
