Trying for a baby (12+ M/not straightforward)

nottslass_2

Had an update from the embriologist - all 6 of the fertilised eggs are now embryos,5 are doing what they should be and one is slightly behind.
ET is Monday at 11.30 and all being well we should have a big fat juicy Blasto to transfer (fingers crossed)

As there's a few of us on the IVF roller coaster I think maybe its time to revive "The Dance",with a new (hopefully more successful) version.

For those of you who haven't a clue what I'm talking about, let me explain:

Wayyy back at the beginning of the thread we had a ritual which had to be performed at the time of ET or IUI.

Its really important that its followed exactly........................

• Stand naked - yep even if you're at Tescos checkouts.
• holding a phallic object,put your right arm in the air - anything that resembles a phallic object will do( a full cucumber works quite well)
• Turn to the left and circle 3 times chanting "the eggs are good,the sperm is fine,must get pregnant this time"
• Next circle three times to the right singing "a boy or a girl,I don't really care,but a BFN would be soooooooo unfair"

If anybody wishes to add anything extra please feel free,but remember,it won't work unless its performed naked and at the exact time of transfer .

Nottslass & Toniq, all the best for Monday for the pair of you!!


I don't usually have alot to report but today was a bad one for me. As you all know I NEVER symptom spot but I somehow allowed myself to get it into my head I have had implantation spotting
I started spotting 8 days ago which normally happens a day or 2 before AF arrives but never as early as 8 days before. So I got it into my head that it could have been implantation. I roughly worked out dates based on average cycle length and the spotting started at about the right time for implantation.
The spotting kept on coming but wasn't every wipe. Then I got into my head that because it kept on coming that maybe I was having another mc, just way earlier than the other 2.

This morning hubby popped out and I got a text from my Mum to say a friend we used to work with, his GF is expecting.
Usually I am absolutely fine with hearing about other people expecting but I got really cross about it!
Then hubby came home and I got cross again because he had been into town (I had assumed he was just going to local Tesco) and didn't take me with him.....he bought me flowers too to cheer me up (had a small op thursday to remove a cyst from the side of my forehead and it hurts a bit )

Anyway, then later on AF comes on full pelt!!
So I am down because I let myself symptom spot then AF showed up but also a little relieved that its not a mc.
I'm not late at all, AF was a day earlier than usual. I'm just so cross with myself that I let myself even think about symptom spotting.

I said to hubby today that I should have had the damn hysterectomy when I had the chance....would have saved myself this every month.

Sorry to ramble, feels good to let it out

Oh Shelley your post could have been mine! Did you see my post on the other forum last night? My spotting started yesterday cd10 and AF not due until tuesday. I'm still fighting with not trying to still think it's implantation bleeding but I know in my heart it's AF early! It's made me even more cross because although my ov date has been different every month my lp has been consistent and now that ov seems normal lp is all cocked up!

Hi becs.

Its awful isn't it. Everytime I get anything remotely like a pg symptom I explain it away very well to myself but this month that didn't happen. I have no idea why.

I'm sorry your LP has messed up, mine too is usually consistent (well it was when I was using monitor )
I have decided that as well as marking AF on calendar I am also going to mark when spotting/dbs starts every month aswell. Hopefully then won't have another month like this one!

Hi Shelly,
Yep I know exactly what you mean, I try my hardest to ignore the 2ww and just get on with things but this month was so different. I think it was just because my LP was the only thing I could rely on I really couldn't believe that AF would be so early! Now it's here though I do feel a bit better and onwards and upwards to next month! One of the other forums I was reading someone posted on there how cruel it is that early pregnancy symptoms are so similar to AF, why does it taunt us in this way! Oh well month 27 here we come! I'm hoping LP this month was just a blip and was shortened because egg quality wasn't good! Must look for the positive in the negative! Hope you're feeling a bit brighter now Shelly.
Good Luck Nottslass and Toniq for tomorrow.

I am much better this morning thanks Becs. Hubby had been out testing the brakes on the car (he replaced pads this morning while I was still in bed) and when he got back he asked if I was still grumpy and should he go out again :rotfl:
