[kkheartsbaby]

Thanks hun...

Got a pineapple cut up ready in the fridge waiting for dpo

 

[FBTTN8079]

lol good work, I've been munching on pineapple and brazil nuts this week x

 

[KeepItCrossed]

What have I missed - what's with the pineapple and Brazil nuts?

Shame I don't like either! x

 

[kkheartsbaby]

Its the MAB diet

Pineapple especially the core helps implantation so have it 1-5dpo but not after that. There's stuff online about it for a scientific explanation

Nuts is added protein? For egg growth? X

 

[KeepItCrossed]

Oh ok. I've practically been OD'ing in protein. Not heard that about pineapple, will have to give it a go.

Thank you!

Had my final scan today. We have 3 or 4 follicles around 18-20mm which should be the required size by Friday and about 12 more over 14mm which might be big enough by then but might not. She said she didn’t want to leave it till Monday so we’re booked in for Friday unless they call this afternoon. She said that they can grow some more once they are extracted anyway. I feel a bit concerned that Friday is too early and Monday is too late, but 4 should be plenty. I had hoped that they would be bigger but maybe they will be late developers! I was being really positive and willing them to grow and feel a bit despondent so need to get back to my positive mental attitude!

How was EC kk?

 

[kkheartsbaby]

What times your trigger blueflower... I know wouldn't it be so much better if they did wkend surgery! Thank you for asking... other than having cannula inserted in both my wrists then my arm everything else im told was great, i zonked out I dont hear anything for couple days so will let you all know the outcome when im out of the woods and PUPO! X

 

[Blueflower]

8.30 tonight then all the normal injections later!
Couldn't they get the cannula in? Poor you. How many eggs did they get? Yes it is nice to have a daytime sleep! Do you feel sore?
Remember to visualize those eggs fertilizing!

 

[Browneyed Girl]

Brazil nuts contains selenium which is supposed to help implantation as well so worth eating through the 2ww.

Exciting that you're at trigger Blueflower, that seems to have come round really quick! Good luck for collection.

Will be keeping an eye on you ladies and hoping for lots of bfps xxx

 

[kkheartsbaby]

No im not sore, huge appetite been for pub meal and still not stopped eating. Like the book says ive achieved 100% success in collection... all I'll say at the mo as now need 100% success in fertilisation and 100% success in implantation and yes I'll keep on visualising!

Hope you're nice and relaxed ready for trigger!!

My leg fell down during the procedure and the student then had to hold it in place so I am told haha. Yes I was passing out when the cannula wasnt in place til they tried my arm.. my luck! X

 

[kkheartsbaby]

Are you ready blueflower for your wonderful eggs to be collected lots of luck for the early start that you get strong ones & plentiful xx

 

[Blueflower]

Thank you! You sound coy about numbers kk, must be loads! Will you hear about fertilisation tomorrow?
Yes it has come around quickly! Feeling full but not too uncomfortable. Went for an evening walk and there was a huge full moon. Will try to get an early night ready for tomorrow! Quite excited!

 

[kkheartsbaby]

No I dont like writing it in black and white then seeing the numbers dropping... pessimistic I know I am trying to take in the programme written in the book though!

Ah youve had very successful collections... you'll do great! X

 

[Blueflower]

Oh that makes sense. It is upsetting seeing them diminishing but I suppose you only need one so the others are just extra and their purpose is to give us lots of chances. Good luck!

 

[skeando]

Good luck today blueflower

 

[louielly]

Good like today Blueflower! X

 

[Blueflower]

It all went well! Got 13 eggs which is perfect. Had my usual blood pressure issues and also felt sick so they gave me extra meds. Felt much better after a sugary drink so the anaesthetist told me to mention its more blood sugar than blood pressure if I have another op! Had to test my blood on that thing for diabetics! Had extra fluids and oxygen too!

Doc said there was fluid around the ovaries so a slight risk of OHSS so they had to bring the portable scanner in! All looked fine though. Its strange how its different every time.

Relaxing at home now, bit sore but relieved its over! Now visualizing our super sperm fertilizing my premium eggs to make top grade embryos with perfect chromosomes!
