The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Thank you for the replies. I think I'll cancel the massage. At least then I can't blame it if something goes wrong.

I've been in bed all day with really bad headache. And feel so sick and shaky. Tbh I think its probably nerves getting the better of me. I need putting in a bag and shaking as my mother would say!

Hi everyone!

Winky - of course you are welcome here - here's hoping you don't need to stay long this time though and your miracle will be repeated. I guess you just have to stay chilled and give it a few months before you will know whether you have to pursue an assisted route.

It'll be tough for you in the real world - I know how hard it is to have a little one of your own and to therefore be surrounded by a sea of fertile folk and newborns when you are struggling to have another- but hopefully it won't be for long.

Your floors sound great! I have a v shabby cream carpet - everyone thinks I have OCD because I hoover every day at least once, but take it from me, I need to..!

C4B I would cancel too. How many embies have you got defrosting for transfer.?

c4b be prepared to be asked to go in earlier than you are booked in for though. I got the call to say mine had both defrosted well, and would I be able to pop in later that day for the transfer!

For some reason at the time it tickled me & OH who had to rush home from work 30 miles away (by train and bike after blurting out to his manager "I need to go and make a baby!"), it felt like we were flying by the seat of our pants, just about getting there on time and we actually giggled as I hopped on the table. We had decided that we would go through the motions of FET to get to the fresh cycle, as we honestly didn't think it stood a chance...one of those 2 embryos is snoring next door!

Just saw this on the news. Possibly a very small light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Sorry the news on here hasn't been so great.

Goes back to lurking until doctors will agree to treat the hyperprolactinaemia.

(((Hugs winky))) And of course you can hang around. Hopefully it wont be for too long xx

Well my FET is booked for Tuesday. Absolutely dreading the phonecall in the morning to say if they have defrosted ok. Finding it difficult to sleep now so not holding out any hope for sleep Monday night!

And now a question for you lovely people..... I had booked a full body aromatherapy massage for Thursday cos didnt think my transfer was going to be this soon. Would you still go? I was thinking it might be ok as long as they didnt touch my stomach or lower back. But now Im wondering if I just shouldnt bother. Its at my local college, in the trainee salon so dont know if I asked them what they thought if they would even know

I wouldn't go. During my 2ww I had a foot massage - told them I might be pregnant. This was absolutely fine but I definitely wouldn't have a full body aromatherapy massage.

Hi juju we have 2 little embryos to thaw. Absolutely dreading the call. Wish I had a little magic pill like last time! I went straight off to sleep the night before transfer with that!

Winky, we were told I would get a call first thing then to go in for 1.30 if all was well. Could easily get there within half hour anyway if need be

I've got a feeling all I'm going to be seeing tonight is sheep!

Good luck for tomorrow hope your 2 embies thaw and continue to grow. Keep positive. x

Both embies have thawed 100%. Woohoo!

Now we're over that hurdle I can start with the positive thinking :A
