tea_lover

Big hugs lisa, have everything crossed that it's just a shy one xx

Hugs to everyone else too...sounds like we need a few.

Are painful boobs normal at this stage?? Haven't even started evil cyclogest yet! Have convinced myself the eggs have escaped.

lisawood78

I will test tomorrow just in case. Am busy planing the next attack on infertility in the mean time :-(
How is everyone else getting on? Good luck to all the stims ladies ATM, there are loads of you! And hoping hard for you WW and Picklekin x

Tea, I started getting sore boobs the day after I started the 2nd injections.


phoned the on call nurse, she said they only phone at the weekend if there is a problem or that if I was needed for et. Must have mis heard yesterday. So looks like et on Monday.

Part_Mouse

Lisa iv'e got everything crossed for tommorow.

Oh Lisa, gutted it's a BFN today. We were all praying this was it for you..fingers crossed it is just shy...it does happen..(Did you use a FRER? In my experience, they are the gold standard, CB Digis still give negs when FRERs are +ve).

So sorry it's not looking good (I've been looking on here every day to see if you had tested..)

Yep FRER won't use anything else.
I know it can happen but I don't think I'm going to he one of those people.
Thank you for checking in on me and caring x

Lisa - so sorry about the negative test huge hugs. May be their might be a change in a couple of days. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Pickle - hope it all works out for you and they give you a proper treatment and answers regarding the current situation.

WW, tea - all the best for EC .Wishing for a good haul of best quality eggs.

Afm - 4dp5dt I feel as if the time is not moving at all. I don't think so I can hold until the test date.

Wonder_Woman

Thanks LA, do you think you will test early? If we manage to get that far I am planning to test out the HCG and then test every day I've got a stash of tests at the ready!

frozenpenguin

So sorry Lisa, lots of hugs to you. I don't know what to say, life's a complete b!tch and you've been through it a lot. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and we're all here for you if you need us. xxx


pink - good luck today with boobcam. RE: time off - we were told definitely take off the day of EC and day after, anything after that you should see how you feel each day. Last time I took off the day of my final scan (Day 10), EC and the day after but I've already told my boss this time round I'll do the same again plus an extra day (possibly two) after EC. I do like the idea of having it all off til they start school though! :rotfl: xx


Great news isla, tea and WW on your follies! Good luck for EC and in the meantime, I'll eat lots of creme eggs for you
Also WW, we were told that it didn't matter if your sniff was after the trigger shot. xx


goodvibes - great news about the eggs and fertilsation, I'm keeping all my bits crossed for you and good luck on Monday! xx


PM - I can't believe how awfully you're being treated. I agree with everyone though, a strongly worded letter to PALS and/or the local MP is definitely needed. That does seem good news that you've finally got some dates though - but personally I don't think that excuses them from the way they've treated you before. xx


Oh pickle - huge hugs to you, it must be so frustrating not knowing anything. Thinking of you and hoping you get some answers tomorrow. xx


love - DR-ing is going okay atm, a few headaches and tiredness but nothing that bad. Baseline scan is on 15th April.

The only thing is I'm still waiting for AF to show up after finishing Provera last Tuesday morning! Last time she showed up within 2 days of stopping Provera and this time round we're up to 4 days and counting. The clinic did say it could take 7-10 days though, think I'll give them a ring anyway next week just in case.

Hugs for the 2WW as well, it's awful, probably the worst part of the whole process! xx


Hugs and creme eggs to everyone xxx
