Oh Lou great news!! Sending a shed load of sticky baby dust your way!!!! Just stay positive and relax as much as possible and visualise your little emblem getting nice and snug!!!! Xx

 

[CDAbaby]

What a nightmare blueflower, you poor thing!! Sounds like a frustrating time, not what you need at all!!

Good luck Loubalouba xxxx

 

[Dee28]

Bloody hell blueflower what a stress! I hope it falls into place by Friday xx

 

[Poispinner]

Good luck loubalouba. Sending lots of baby dust.

MariaIsabella, my OH is just the same, moaning about having another blood test (number 3!) when im injecting every day!! Really?!

Hope things get sorted for you soon blueflower.

 

[MariaIsabella]

Blueflower - Copenhagen ( just landed ) of all places. With work so sadly no nice and relaxing holiday! I fly to the Nordics all the time

Poispinner - typical isn't it. We love them for trying but OMG they complain about the small things!

 

[Tiptoes]

Aw good luck Lou. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. And blueflower I hope you get things sorted x

 

[MariaIsabella]

Blueflower, just wanted to add I hope they sort the meds out! I feel a little lost as well and I havn't started yet.

Me - "but how much should I inject and how fast should I push the needle in?"

Nurse - "AS I TOLD YOU, 0,5 and please test on an orange before"

This is serious stuff and they just don't care as much since they see it every day

I know it will all be fine for all of us one day, even adoption would make me happy and it gives me some peace. Xx

 

[Blueflower]

Yes they are very blasé about it! But its our lives that are going to be affected by whether this all works or not. Grrr!

So I had my first tracking scan today on day 5 of stimming. Lining I think was 8mm, I've 13 follies on my right ovary of varying sizes, largest nearly 11mm, smallest ones under 6mm but my dodgy left ovary was really hard to find so the nurse couldn't get a very good look at it, she thinks there are at least 5 or 6 good size ones, preying it moves to a better location by Friday when my next scan is, and definitely by next Friday when my EC is predicted, otherwise I'll be off to Cambridge for a GA which I really don't want. Hey ho xx

 

[Blueflower]

That sounds good Dee! Wonderful lady from pharmacy has already ordered my Menopur and says they need the original prescription but I can collect the drugs first. I am going to send her a thank you card!

Nurses have asked me to call them regarding plan & timescales today as I'm having my scans elsewhere. It might all be ok!

 

[lisey]

That's great blueflower, sounds like a nice helpful person xx

Lots of luck Dee xx

 

[Loubalouba]

Phew blueflower! Looking good then Dee! Good luck!

Not a good start to a relaxing tww! My hubby ran over the cat in the drive was a horrendous morning my poor hubby was so upset

I did get a fortune cookie last night in our celebratory Chinese that said my dream is within me!! Xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Oh no is the cat ok?
Wow that is so apt! It literally is within you! Must be a sign!
Got my drugs and nurse has gone through the plan, double phew! Now just awaiting DH's test results!

 

[lisey]

Oh no, that must have been awful
The fortune cookie last night has to be a sign though, I hope so

Blueflower, that's great, you can feel more relaxed now, knowing you have everything sorted.

Myself and OH discussed when to go for treatment again but didn't really come to any conclusions, I said maybe a couple of more months of naturally trying but I don't want to leave moving forward too late so I said no later than the new year. I think that's a bit risky still.
I have been looking into mild IVF, there is natural IVF and modified IVF but mild IVF uses some stims but a low dose and for less days. They aim for 2-7 eggs apparently. Its a lot cheaper and would be happy to have less drugs as I was on the absolute max last time. Mild IVF is kind of an inbetween of IUI and IVF (this was written on one of the websites) Its good for older women or those with high FSH and low AMH (the last two apply to me)
I don't know what to do. I could do proper IVF again but I am concerned that my reserve will be even lower and might not even get to transfer. That would be £8000 down the drain.
I need some opinions, my OH doesn't seem to get the urgency, he is quite laid back about it. He will do whatever I want but he's not great at discussing it with me and making decisions with me. I think he thinks it will happen naturally and it might but we can't leave it so long that there is no reserve left and no chance of any treatment working xx

Do you not get a drugs teach? We were both called in to go through all the medication and how to use it. I had to practice on a dummy skin patch and asked lots of questions. They were really helpful.

 

[Poispinner]

Phew blueflower! Looking good then Dee! Good luck!

How exciting about your fortune cookie. I love things like that! I had one a couple of months ago that said "soon you will be on top of the world!"

So sorry to hear about your cat xx

 

[Babybumpwanted]

Glad things are getting sorted blue flower! Hopefully everything will smooth out and Friday can be a fresh start!!!

Dee that all sounds great!! Good lining and good Eggies!!

Arr Lou not the best start but must have distracted you for a while, hope the cat is ok!!! That fortune cookie is an amazing sign!!

Xx

 

[Blueflower]

Sounds like a good idea Lisey. Men are so laid back, mine had no idea not starting ttc until I was 38 would be an issue because other people have had babies in their 40s. I wonder how late they would leave it if they were the ones who had the babies?!
No we never got shown how to inject. So glad DH was ok just going for it as I had a needle phobia! Ivf has almost cured this but not quite. I still can't look during blood tests but I occasionally look at the injections!

 

[Loubalouba]

Poor little phoebe died almost instantly was just awful, we did not even see her go out and she is normally so aware of cars, never seen my hubby so upset. She hated children so hubby saying maybe this is going to work and phoebe has decided to leave now! She was 14 with kidney disease but awful under such circumstances and hubby blames himself.

I really hope the cookie is a good sign! Felt really positive earlier now having a wobble!

Lisey, surely the mild ivf is worth a shot? How do u normally respond to stimms? If u respond well then lower doses and fewer eggs surely means better quality embryos? Xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Oh no that's so sad. So sorry to hear that.
