Of course you can join. I had to restart the thread as Lou left and I wanted to keep the statuses more up to date. But a big warm welcome! Where are you going for treatment? How come you're going abroad if you don't mind me asking?

I made myself chuckle last night - LTTTC I suppose you've got to try and laugh at it sometimes!
I went to the supermarket a few days ago, needed toilet paper, so bought what was on offer: Christmas themed toilet paper.
All fine, except last night when I wiped I thought 'OMG AF!' but it just turned out to be the red bauble pattern on the toilet paper!
Note to self: Don't buy toilet paper with anything red on it!

Thanks, shame about Lou but I do hope she gets a happy outcome
I am probably going for egg donation in Spain, I have a very low AMH and 1 blocked tube (not much going for me) I have been activiely trying since 2009 but not been using contraception for 5 years now, I know I had an early MC in August but after all these years of trying I don't want to chance it.
Egg donation in the UK is a 2 year waiting list and the egg donors can request contact so staying clear from that
When is testing day Jaq??? Read this thread from the start, keeping everything crossed for you x

Oh Meg that is funny!
Always trying it is a start just to have a plan and just feel like you're doing something isn't it? I find being in TTC limbo is the worst thing. Lots of luck with it all.
Official testing date for me is Wednesday 19th though I keep swinging from really wanting to POAS to being too scared to. I'm 11 days past egg collection today but still have no tests in the house. I started feeling very mildly nauseous last night (as in so mildly I thought I probably imagined it) but have also been feeling a bit queasy all day today just like you want to keep taking deep breaths, you know? I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I worry it may just be the progesterone pessaries. Does anyone know if nausea is a side effect? Also one of the kids in my class was sick yesterday so I was thinking maybe it was that. I'm also very exhausted from a long stressful week and I guess it could be a bit of that mixed in too.

Hello ladies, just checking back in on you -
JennyMarie, hope your eggs grow a little more by next scan, I guess your body just wants to let the four eggs go each time, and conserve the others, must be very frustrating for you after having the increased stim dosage this time and feeling more affected by them too. Maybee the dose has helped them be more mature higher qual than last time, and can get you to the transfer day. I so have everything crossed for you for a 2ww this time. Don't try to look to the future right now, I know yourll need something to hang onto and focus on, but take a day at a time while your in the mix of it, while hormones all over the place.. X
Jacq - It's so hard not to read everything into any symptom isn't it. And even if you do , they could all actually be proper symtoms anyway, and yourll spend time trying to talk the symptoms away just incase, proper rollercoaster.. Hang off testing, nothing more soul destroying, head down than a bfn so close to the end line, when you then spend days convinced it's over to save your hopes being dashed again, hang on a few more days, I mean you have to wait for period to not arrive anyway..... and you will know well before xmas to get your head round whichever result. - Good luck to you X
Slimming Meg - Oh you made me laugh then, xmas loo roll....
And Always trying, welcome to the thread - good luck for your ivf next year, sounds like a little more planning , but actually spains not too far , I can imagine you on a regular weekly flight via easyjet now, do you know how many trips you would have to make. (I'm based in berks too by the way, and an honorary menber of this thread as I have had IVF this year
)

Hey jaq, not long now! Try not to symptom spot, at this stage the only reason for sickness/nausea wouldn't be pregnancy related. HCG needs to be in the thousands. If a kid was sick could it be the dreaded norovirus? Take care of yourself and wasah your hands lots.

Bit embarrassed as I caved as soon as I got home with the tests! Did FRER and looks negative though gave it to DH and didn't tell him exactly where I thought I could see the faintest shadow of something and he reckoned he could see something too in certain lights. I made myself almost blind looking and feel no better off than I did before the test. Not writing myself off yet though. Sorry ladies this 2WW is doing my head in!

Hi ladies
I thought I would give you a quick update on Loub!
I have been in touch with her and she went back for transfer on Friday to find she had a 6 and 8 cell embryo with good fragmentation.
I know you will all be pleased to hear that great news
I told her that I would update you all.
Love Gizzy xxx

Still early Jaq, so keepi g everything crossed for you
JJ - thanx for the welcome. I have been thinking for sometime about Egg donation and everyone said I would be mad nit to try with my own eggs first, I know I should but when you get to 35 and just over 5 years of trying I want to give myself the best chance, and having a low poor quality egg count does not give me much hope. I went to the fertility show and sat through a talk on it, Spain is one of the most successful and popular places to go. There was a lady from one of the Spanish cluncs there doing the talk.
It seems so straight forward, too much in fact, I only have to have 1 trip to Spain and that's ir EC and transfer, 9 day window approx, in the mean time scans, test, meds etc are all through my consultant here in the Uk
How are you JJ, you had your op? Sorry I don't come on here that much and may of missed the update but how do you know it if was successful, simple case of Yay I'm pregnant or dd you have any follow up appointments?

No too scared OTD is tomorrow and been winding myself up reading about chemical pregnancies etc. no symptoms apart from exhaustion but that's more than likely the 15 week school term, stress of a new job etc! Not sure I want to test tomorrow though as I don't think I'll be able to handle going to work if it's not good news x
