How upsetting. Will his fancy dress costume be free then? And will he go to the party without any beer?

Hahaha, exactly!

It was that argument and tonight's that has made me question if he actually wants children at all. If he does, then why isn't he in it wholeheartedly? As that is the only way he will have children with me.

 

[phonixgirl]

I could really do with not being upset tonight. I can't sleep after arguments and I have my scratch at 7:30am... if he will still take me!

 

[MariaIsabella]

Im so sorry you feel like this! Have you explained how you feel to him? Sometimes when i get upset i get really sensitive and start crying etc which makes eveything worse. I do think you need to have a serious talk about this and how you have been feeling lately about his behaviour. Like Blueflower said, he wants to go to parties which you do not want to go to . Instead you can treat yourself to some treatments!!

 

[Blueflower]

He is being very unreasonable but remember that you are very vulnerable at the moment so less resilient. He is probably worried too and that's why he's being immature.
Have a nice bath or some chocolate or something. Have you got some codeine for tomorrow?

 

[MariaIsabella]

Ladies, what painkillers, if any, do you use for ET?

Little scared

 

[Laura07]

Good luck this morning Phonixgirl, I hope you're feeling better now you have slept on it we have similar arguments oh thinks acupuncture is a waste of money but he spends what he likes so sod him!! If you have real doubts about everything plan to go somewhere together with a decent car journey and talk things through there is no escape in the car and will have to talk!!

 

[Laura07]

If et is the similar to iui nothing Hun I didn't even feel it x

 

[MelC2011]

Good Luck today phonixgirl.
Hope everything goes ok.

I have another tracking scan this morning.
Not sure what to expect from this first one since starting the drugs.

How are you feeling today Maria?

Blueflower - was it af that started? (I'm a little behind)

 

[MariaIsabella]

Good luck today Mel and Phonixgirl!!

Thanks Laura, ET will probably be ok but would be interesting to hear if any of you took any pain killers?

xx

 

[MariaIsabella]

Actually feeling very bloated and uncomfortable today. Is it normal 2 days after EC? Looks like I am pregnant!

 

[phonixgirl]

Thanks for all your support ladies. You are amazing.

So, I went to the centre at 7:30am. It doesn't open until 8 so it was strange being there without even any reception staff! The doctor who did my scratch was the 'other' consultant - an expert in PCOS - and she was lovely. I took a tablet with paracetamol and codeine in beforehand (thanks Blueflower and Dee!) in preparation for the pain. It went in smoothly and then she said, "This is going to hurt". I looked at DH and winced - it did hurt a little. She said I had a high pain threshold as she's had ladies on that table screaming like they were giving birth before!!! Hahahaaaa.

She also said my cervix and everything 'down there' looked good, which is unusual for me seeing as I have been referred by a gynaecologist for a colposcopy because she saw something (and I'm always bleeding).

The whole thing took less than five minutes which I was quite surprised about. It seems she was also surprised as she told me it usually takes 10 to 15 minutes and this means the egg transfer should go smoothly.

As she is so lovely, she wanted to make sure we were doing everything possible to boost our chances. She asked if I was taking a vitamin D supplement (I am), and then asked if I was having acupuncture. I explained we had an argument about that last night and she said it helps, and she knows two good acupuncturists - then named mine. DH then said he was wrong about it! So I will be having it and all is good.

I then went into work far too early but was surprisingly awake. I haven't had any pain since. Xxx

 

[Blueflower]

Yes it was AF, about 3 days earlier than expected!
I had bloating before transfer too Maria, its the ovaries filling up with fluid and also the oestrogen.
No need for any painkillers for embryo transfer unless you are normally in agony getting through the cervix.
Glad today went well Phoenixgirl, those ladies that screamed obviously didn't take codeine! I was in tears when I just took paracetamol! I felt sleepy on the way home from my scratch last week and nearly missed my stop on the train! Did it catch up with you later?! Haha about the acupuncture!! Hopefully he'll believe you now an expert has told him!! Vitamin D? Will see if there is any in my Pregnacare and get some if not!

 

[phonixgirl]

I think it should be in Pregnacare but I have always thought vitamin D is amazing stuff. I have a deficiency anyway due to epilepsy drugs so am on a prescribed supplement (but I think my multivitamin has it in as well).

I felt fine until about ten minutes ago until I started feeling really sleepy - but that is probably just because I got up early. I'm sure the drugs will have worn off by now!

I need to have a blood test before AF so I hope it doesn't arrive stupidly early!

Xxx

 

[Blueflower]

I checked and it does so I should be ok. I just felt relaxed after the codeine but driving back from the station felt a bit too relaxed and car veered a little bit, whoops! Yeah my early AF could have been from the scratch or because my eggs were removed so there was no point hanging around!!

 

[Niknak82]

Morning all. Game over for me I think. 10dp5dt and I had a small bit of spotting a few nights ago. Woke up this morning and I have pink discharge when I wipe just like start of my period. Also did a first response and not even a hint of a line. Devastated xx

 

[Laura07]

Oh nik nak I'm really sorry, I hope your able to take some time for yourself now Hun, it all looked so positive sending hugs xxxx take care of yourself xxxx

 

[MariaIsabella]

I am so sorry!!! Dont know what to say since its such a hard time for you perhaps it should come up on a test now but do you want to do a blood test to be sure?

Once you are ready and have given this some time you will see it is not hopeless since it sometimes take many times for ivf to work... Not that it matters now though .

Sending lots of hugs xx

 

[MariaIsabella]

Had a call today. 7 embryos still going strong day 3 so will be a day 5 transfer now. I hope there will be a few left by then!! All 7 were graded 1 and 2 which is the best I think so happy with that.

 

[MelC2011]

So sorry NikNak.
I'm devastated for you honey.

Sending lots of love and hugs your way xx
