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

PM sorry things are so tough for you. Hope your mum is OK, and scans show something today.

I'm off for probably my last pre EC scan. Fingers crossed the follies have done their job and then it's onto next steps.

TL thanks for the info on your cycle. I think we did the last one around the same time if I remember correctly. In January? Its so hard to know what's right. You naturally want lots of eggs to give you a better chance, but its a balance on keeping healthy too.

Just crossing fingers my eight little fighters do it for me, and DHs contribution works too. DH has been told to drink lots of water the next few days, and six months of vitamins has also hopefully helped. So many (literal) eggs in this basket now. I'm scared of the emotions coming in the next few weeks.

RG - how are you doing?

RG - hope you are doing ok. Just a few more days and then you will know. Hang in there x

T2D - good luck for the scan today, fingers crossed your follies are all the same size and are ready to go! Hugs for forgetting your drugs, what a pain x

Derby - congratulations on being PUPO! When will the lab let you know if you your other little embie has made it to blast?

PM - so, so sorry to hear about your mum. What a stressful time for you. Big big hugs. Let us know how you get on with your scan. x

code - big hugs to you. ICSI is a good thing in that they can do it, but its not a miracle cure and nothing is guaranteed. Are you going with the NHS for your treatment? I know that Glasgow has brought their waiting list down by around 6 months, but not sure about the rest of Scotland. x

cwtw - hugs. Its hard at Christmas, I find it especially hard as it means another milestone with no baby. x

WW - how's it going? Sorry you are not feeling positive. hugs x

Vesper - hugs for painful AF. I find I get a horrendous one every now and again and it floors me. Hope this one passes quickly.

How did it get to Monday, where did the weekend go? Hope everyone has a good week. xx

PM - hope you got some rest last night and that your mum's doing ok today.

T2D - hope the scan goes well. When is trigger shot / EC likely to be? I think 8 sounds like a really good number - enough to work with but not enough to do damage lol. I'm also really hoping that the months of man vitamins will have done some good. Which reminds me, OH needs to do another SA, really need to get that booked in.

I have zero motivation at work today (even less than usual lol). We're going to ikea and then for dinner tonight and I'm over-excited already :rotfl:.

Aw PM, what a pile of pig poo life is throwing at you right now .

Part_Mouse

Tea fs thinks its going to be a long time for a follie im just not sure we have enough time.

I realise now probably isn't the time to be making important decisions but have you considered donor eggs? Apologies if that comes across as insensitive at all. I know several peeps on here have had great success using that route (I'm looking at you fluff )

Sorry to hear that pm. Seems like things are really hard for you now. Is your doctor helping with the emotional toll this is taking on you?

Scan went well. They have found another big follie, and two more small ones. Lining is 10.3mm so I am cooked and ready to go! I think it will be Thursday - just waiting to see the nurse now.

ETA: the scanning nurse said 'perfect, I'll hopefully see you for your pregnancy scan before Christmas'. I nearly cried! These hormones are kicking in...

Hugs pm. How long have you been injecting for now?

T2D.. good luck today. Fingers crossed for 8 little lovelies.

WW...it's ok to have a wobble (and several buns!), it's an emotional business with ups and downs. When's your next scan?

Sew it...I'm not sure when they'll let us know...I kinda got distracted looking at the photo of my embie.

RG....thinking of you x.
