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

Runnerduck

Derby congratulations :T:T:T:T:T thats great news xx






well i have 2 embies on board but yesterday was pretty awful, got up did my chickens and ducks and had a shower to go to the clinic, then put the cyclogest in the back so as not to get in the way with the transfer, within 15 mins i was rolling around the floor in agony sweating feeling sick ect. awful, embryoligist rang then and said embies were fine try and come down, so i took paracetamol and a sick bucket and had an awfully painful hour and a half journey, They could see how bad i looked so i had a lie down and started to feel a bit better, the consultant said that occasionally cyclogest causes your bowel to go into spasm and thats what had happened well by noon i was feeling a bit more human so went in for the transfer, two were good, so we have had them in, one did not make it and he is going to ring us tomorrow to see if the other is good enough to freeze, so i was shattered last night and not feeling fantastic today, so just taking it easy and resting, i will never put cyclogest in the back door again !!!

Congrats runnerduck. Fingers crossed.

You are PUPO now! Is this your first IVF cycle?

Would be lovely to get 2 of us out of this thread this month.

(note to self: I may be curious about what cyclogest is, but I feel it is not safe for work googling!)

Derby - Congratulations!! That is brilliant news.

Tea - Hurray for handing in your notice. Best thing I ever did

Zippy - How are you holding up? An XMAS day BFP sounds lovely

Runner - Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for your 2 embies.

T2D - Will be thinkin of you tomorrow and I love your PMA. Your consultant sounds super confident too which is always reassuring.

AFM..... Just got another really positive OPK but I am sure I am 2dpo. I did one last night and although there were 2 lines, it was a negative test. Feeling very confused and worried now. I started progesterone cream yesterday as my temp had shot up and my EWCM had disappeared and instead I'm just...sticky.
Temp is still high this morning but now I'm doubting myself

no round 5 of ivf, 3 fresh 2 frozen, it's a hormone pesserie to prepare for embryo transfer, which can apparantly be used either way

Hi Lily,

I'm also a bit strange this cycle. I took soy for a few days (until the smear debacle started with a vengeance) so I guess there must be some impacts. I'm sure I ov'd sometime in the last few days, and stopped ewcm on Sat and Sunday. But now I am getting tiny cramps again, so I have no idea what is going on. I actually went to check if I was randomly bleeding as it felt so strange. But, no, just (tmi) lots of ewcm etc.

It's too early to be ss'ing (only CD 16) but maybe the soy has just moved around my ov day. I do think another BD is an idea - although I know chances are super low this month, and it's probably not medically advised. Will do anyway, as then we are on a 1 month forced break!

Cyclogest is just progesterone. I had to take it for 16 weeks at the b eginning of my pregnancy and utterly hated it. It made me seriously constipated. But congrats Runner, you're PUPO I hope!

And big congrats Derby.

Things still good with me. I am now at the same gestation I was when DS was born (three months prem!) so that feels a bit emotional. Though this time I am feeling well and strong, I'm pleased to report.

Counting the days til maternity leave. People are !!!!! on the Tube and don't give you seats often enough. Really hating the commute. Even my baby on board badge and very visible bump don't seem to make horrid people shift! Anyway, 38.5 working days left til I leave!

Hope everyone's well.

I know what you mean about Soy. Some cycles it changed things for me (not in a good way!) and others it did nothing!

I wouldn't normally be so bothered about ov being wrong, but as I am taking progesterone this cycle it's quite important I know whats happening! Stupid bl00dy body

Congratulations Derby! hope you have a wonderfully easy pregnancy and birth forgive me, i've had my head up my butt for a while and can't remember, was this a natural cycle?

Runnerduck congratulations on being PUPO, hope you can tell us in two weeks time that you're just P! lol

Tea lover congratulations on handing in your notice! hope your boss gets all her karma very soon

Lily i'm sorry there's confusion for you, personally i'd go off the bodily signals but have a few more BD just in case


DH is getting really worried about his test results, can't wait for the appointment tomorrow to be over. helpfully, hope is making me think this is a good cycle (chart looks all triphasic) so i'm conflicted in worrying he's not got swimmers and being convinced one of them has done the trick lol x x

Runnerduck - congrats on being PUPO - keeping everything crossed that this is the cycle for you. Cylogest is horrible stuff!

Debry - hugh congrats - that is wonderful news. so happy for you. Do keep us updated on how you are getting on as love hearing from graduates.

Sarah - good to hear from you and pleased that all is still going well.

Tealover - congrats on handing in notice

TeamLowe - hoe your OH's results tomorrow are fine and nothing to worry about

Time2Deal - good luck for tomorrow. The cells I had removed were apparently the most serious kind but the surgeon removed them all and whilst my 6 monthly and then yearly smears sometimes showed changes they were then only minor and whilst I had a few coloscopy's to check the cells I didn't need any more treatment and thank god the last two smears have all been ok. The surgeon told me that he had removed a large amount of cells from the cervix and I know that when I have smears now it is clearly evident to the nurse where the cells were taken from but I was told that it would not affect my fertility and that if I did get pregnant they would look to consider putting a stitch in my cervix to give it more strength during the pregancy but that was all.

Primmer -did you have loop or cone?
