The New IVF/IUI Thread - 5BFPs!

[Tinkerbell3]

Tinslecat, Great news for WC on Thursday I did my trigger shot in my stomach and had been doing all my stims ones there too. Don't worry if you don't feel like its many follicles, remember quality over quantity. I had 14 and didn't get my bfp or anything to freeze so having a good number means nothing.

AF has arrived so I start Gonal F tomorrow, can't believe we're starting Ivf again and in less than 2 weeks ill hopefully be having egg collection, feeling extremely nervous but more keeping my mind off thinking about it 24/7 this time

Ooooo great news for Lou, I do miss her on here.

Tinsel....all sounds quite promising, and timing perfect for life outside IVF Good luck in those interviews!!

Update from me.....im really hot sleeping in the evening and having vivid dreams! I've had a headache today, and felt like I was getting a sore throat...but both have passed. I also had an overwhelming urge to ......poo today too, but I think that might have something to do with the progesterone pessaries I am using....in the rectum xxx

 

[gemmainthesun]

It might be cos I had the exact same especially the vivid dreams x

 

[Chazabell]

Ohhh girls, I hate the 2ww. How have I done it for over 3 years?

I've been trying to take it easy at work since IUI no heavy lifting. But its hard work, they have put me on light duties but I keep forgetting. I am used to heavy lifting as I work in a supermarket that is hands on, so i'm not straining myself. Then I came home and cracked out the lawn mower :shy: I'm not doing any harm am I??

Ive had a bit of a belly ache today that soon passed, and I think my head is imagining twinges etc. its 8 more sleeps till testing......i'm going mad!!

I just hope I make to next Wed. Last IUI with progesterone I came on 4 days early xxx

 

[gemmainthesun]

Rooting for you Chaz, hopefully we can be bump buddies soon xxxx

 

[Chazabell]

When do you test? Week today? I'm a week tomorrow,

I already know I'll DEFO will wait till then to test. OH will go mad if I test early, and I think ill know anyway. I have plenty keeping me busy to take my mind off it. Like....googling! lol xxx

 

[tinselcat]

Good luck chaza! It's probably all fine, but try to take it easy if you can!!

I had my last injection today - hooray. But I STILL managed to mess it up and cut myself on the glass thingy that they keep the pregnyl solution in when I snapped its head off. What the heck!! Couldn't they make these things a bit more user-friendly??

Anyway. It's done, and I now get a drug free day tomorrow.

Also, tomorrow I'm interviewing with 3 companies and maybe a 4th one in the evening, so I have plenty to take my mind off things!! Eep!! Can't wait for Friday when this is all over!!!!!!!

 

[Chazabell]

Ha ha Tinsel, you should start a 'What not to do thread' Good luck at your interviews, 4....mad woman. I was petrified at a group interview lol. What position are you going for?

I feel another headache coming on today, I usually get them when im stressed or run down. But if i'm honest, I feel on top of the world. I'm possibly cooking a bean in my belly, i'm earning money from my hobby, and I do a job I enjoy. And at the end of the day I get to cuddle up to the man of my dreams. So.....im hoping its either A. Progesterone & hormone cocktail causing it. Or B. An early symptom lol. I also had an urgency for the loo today, and again I think that's the progesterone supositry I have, and where it goes is just making them soft.


Its a week today since I had IUI 1x 19/20mm follicle, and 10 million swimmers xxx

 

[JJ Mum]

good luck tomorow Tinsel, hope your drug free day was nice

Tinkerbell- yayyyyy my ivf partner is off again for more ivf - really hoping this is the one this time, and so much less pressure this time round hun, you can relax more, I think it really will help. you must be on a short programe starting gonal F when af arrives? may be more suited to you and your body..

Chaz and Gemma, all the best for testing incase im not back in here till then XX

 

[gemmainthesun]

I'm out jj mum, major af this morning and neg hpt x

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Thanks JJ, really hoping this is finally our time and I can join you in the pregnancy section. Yep doing short protocol this time and have first scan on Friday to check I'm ready to start to the other injections alongside gonal f. Hoping for a nice amount if eggs again but let's just hope they can grow nicely after day 3 this time around.

 

[tinselcat]

Just come round from egg collection.

They got 7 eggs. I burst into tears when i heard that. Just got to hope that the quality is good

 

[ScotchEgg]

Tinsel that's still great. That's exactly what I got in my successful cycle. It was scary after getting twice as many the time before but it's plenty, it really is good luck hon

 

[ScotchEgg]

Good luck Tinks

 

[Chazabell]

Don't stress Tinsel, you only need 1.

No go put your feet up and send positive vibes to you 7...magnificent 7 eggs xxx

 

[gemmainthesun]

7 is enough tinselcat, the quality should be good aswell as not loads. Saying a little prayer for you x

 

[Clairabella]

Tinselcat 7 is great I hope you are feeling ok. Fx for the next couple of days x

 

[tinselcat]

Hi ladies

Thanks for your messages, and Scotch, hearing your experience really helped!

After the op I was in quite a bit of pain, and even after a couple of hours couldn't stand up without feeling dizzy and sick.

Eventually they took my BP and it was 101/52 so put me on a drip which helped a lot.
I'm also now on a course of antibiotics as they are worried about infection.

So still loads of medicines to take! Urgh!

For reference, I am supposed to put in the progesterone pessaries every 12 hours.

And chaza I manage computer programmers for a living. I can't imagine having a group interview, sounds really hard, like The Apprentice or something! I've been shut in a room with just a computer before for several hours - much easier than your experience I'd say!!

 

[gemmainthesun]

Did you have a general? I only had valium and then she injected some anasthetic inside me and I honestly didnt feel anything and meant I could carry on as normal afterwards.
So think its finally hit me ladies, been feeling really down all day, and trying to put it to the back of my mind and then this morning I saw a pic of my new cousin Bethan, the one who was born through IVF, and I commented on how beautiful she was and my auntie (not the one who's had the ivf another one) commented and put 'It will be you next Gemma' I have no idea if she knows we are having ivf or not but that just really got to me and I burst into tears and now just feel proper sad and shit and angry and annoyed! I knew that strange PMA daze couldnt last lol x

 

[Chazabell]

Awww hugs to Gemma and Tinsel whilst your feeling rubbish

Im not feeling too smart either, headache and bit of belly ache and a few farts....hope its not the beginning of AF starting to rumble xxx
