Jenny Marie - how are you doing?

Hope your ok Jacq XX

 

[Jennymarie]

Hi JJ I'm driving myself mad with every little symptom. Although I've been having bad cramps and pain in my right ovary so I'm almost expecting AF to arrive. Just trying to keep busy.

Hope you're ok Jacq, be good to hear how you're doing.

the dreaded 2ww sends us all mad doesn't it.. cramps are a great sign for preg too tho...so don't count yourself out, when is testing day again...? how long have you got to wait...

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Oh, I'm so gutted for Lou thinking of you, if you're reading xxx

 

[Jennymarie]

Testing day is thurs, but I'm working so we thinking of testing on 1st. It's only two days early so hoping that will be ok. Least I have all day to mope about if its negative. I have heard stories of false positives due to the ovitrelle but I don't know if there is a risk of this if done 12 days after transfer. I'm thinking it will be quite symbolic to do it on 1st. New year and a new start for us whatever the result. As we are unable to fund an ICSI ourselves (esp with amount of drugs I had to take!) if unsuccessful next year will be about taking a year out before thinking of our next steps.

 

[Jacq23]

I'm ok thanks ladies, I can now talk about it without bursting into tears. CD 11 already so I guess it's back to plan A and DTD every other day. I've thought about going to my GP and asking for Metformin and also more Clomid as at least that made me ovulate which means we're 50% of the way there! DH has been on multivitamins a while now and eating lots of Brazil nuts.

Good luck Jennymarie xx

 

[Alwaystrying]

Welcome back Jaq, no one can blame you for taking a little time out, I do hope you had a brilliant Chrimbo and got spoilt loads

DTD sounds like a good thing, let's face it can't be a bad thing to do what ever th reason lol

My AF is due tomorrow, I have the normal 3 day headache that comes with it so know it's going to come bang on time. I really hope 2013 will be our year, don't think I could face another childless year, my best mate got married 3 months after me she is going to start trying next year, I just know I will be congratulating her before she can me

 

[slimmingmeg]

It's officially January tomorrow which means I can visit the doctors!

Good luck to all this month xx

 

[Jennymarie]

Hi Jacq, glad to hear you're looking forward to next steps. Really hope it all works out for you.

Had a bit of an emotional meltdown, the nearer I get to test date the more scared I am. I know it's my last chance at having our own baby and I just don't know how I will cope with a negative.

Does anyone know if it will be ok testing two days early? I can't face doing it before work. And does it have to be first thing in the morning. My hubby works nights and I would rather do it when he wakes up.

Hi. Wishing u the best of luck with getting ur bfp. Fertility clinic told me they would not take any result before the morning of day 14 . Said due to cyclogest and people testing early and getting different results they wouldn't confirm it either way unless I did the test with fmu on day 14.
But I can see why u wouldn want to test and go to work as this is what I did and I was a wreck. Hoping urs is a bfp though x

 

[Jennymarie]

Thanks GreekGirl, how are you doing now? Are you trying again?

I think I will test tomorrow and then again to confirm on thurs. This is def the worst part. I have no problems with the injections or scans, even the EC but this wait is killing me!

 

[Jacq23]

Jennymarie this is definitely the worst bit and I went from one extreme to another though was more in the camp of it was going to be negative. I think somehow I just knew deep down. A bit like my little boy, just somehow knew he was going to be a he even though I genuinely had no idea.

Apologies in advance but I do need to unleash a bit of anger at my mother-in-law. She said to DH she was so sorry to hear it didn't work and then when we saw them last weekend I said how gutted I was and her response was 'well at least you've got Bailey'. Now don't get me wrong my son really is the centre of my universe and I couldn't love him more and he has pulled me through all this. But mother-in-law just cannot understand how it feels to want another and not he able to for love nor money. She easily had her three kids and seems happy that each of them has produced one grandchild. But she knows how much we do not want an only child and really just want one more to complete our family and provide a sibling for our little man. And here is the part that really pisses me off: they have a big mortgage-free house, two houses in France, a brand new Mercedes 4x4 and an Aston Martin on the driveway along with a Smart car and a classic Mercedes not being used. Er so no cash to spare to help us then?!!! Grrrrrr!! Ok rant over, we'll get there somehow and screw them when we do. Humph!!

 

[greekgirl84]

I have 2 frozen embryos which I am putting back next month. So looking forward to starting the next step although apprehensive as I feel this is our last chance. I really have got my fingers crossed for u x

JennyMarie - just wanted to wish you luck in the morning, I think mostly it would show by two days before, but you will always have the thursday official test incase ifs bad news and something changes , eg shy bfp.. It is good to test on 1st , like you say feels a good day to do it.. and def not one to do on a work day...

Greekgirl - yayyy for FET of your two blastos... Are you going natural or medicated? have you started taking drugs yet ready if medicated?

Jacq - Hello, glad your more past the initial horrible stage, and looking forward where you can, sounds like clomid would be a good step if you know that worked , will give you every chance.. As for MIL, vent away, she probably can't fully understand the emotional journey you have just been through, and said the wrong thing to make you feel better, but that comment was soo not the right one... Your wish is to have a sibling for your son, that wish still stands, Hard to understand why she hasn't offered you both help, if I was a parent and my child had issues like this, I'd get an extra job to pay for it for them... maybee thats just because Iv'e been through it too, but I think not.. New year for you lady.... hang in there....you just never know when your luck will turn..

Slimmingmeg - Yayyy for January - and your off...

Hello Tinker - how are you doing, when do you start....?
