Hi girlies, just thought I wuld start a new thread as the other one was a bit long. Had baseline scan yesterday, everything is OK, doctor said I should be able to start injections then nurse cam in and said clinic was really busy this week and that I wouldn't be able to start injections until 13 November. I'm relieved everything is OK but a bit miffed that I've got to wait another week. Also I will now have to buy another Suprecur spray as they have delayed the treatmenth which seems a bit unfair to me. Well thats my moan over with for today, going Xmas shopping today to try and take my mind off everything. Lots of love and best wishes to everyone, heres hoping we all get our own special Xmas present in the weeks to come. Love Julie xx

Hi All Well I'm off to the clinic now for my IUI I have approx 4 follies so looking good. I'm going away for the weekend to relax and try not to think about things. Anyway Lisa sounds like your doing really well all positive signs!. Lorraine hope your doing OK any more bleeding?? Traci that's excellent fingers crossed for monday I have a really good feeling about this. Jules keep positive 1 week isn't really a lot in the grand scheme of things. Must dash big hugs to all Aly xx

Hi guys Have just stupidly posted on the OCB7 so lisa and gem and Bel - message for you on there!! Jules - this happened to me on my first cycle but I kicked up stink and they fitted me in. Are you going privately? if so, it's not acceptable that they can't fit you in. they will just have to extend their hours a bit. after all look how much you're paying them for this cycle!! plus get them to pay for the Suprecor - it's their fault (can you tell I used to be a lawyer?!!). go get em girl!! aly- best of luck for your IUI and have a relaxing weekend. beckym xx

Hi Girls That first injection home alone last night was a nightmare. First got myself in a state panicing I had not got all air bubbles out, then could not remember setting for injection gun and finally convinced myself that I had spilt some and not all of drug went in my leg. am I just over reacting or is it normal to be like this when you inject yourself for the first time. Becky - Thanks for putting my mind at rest and it is first attempt at IVF, 33 years old. Drinking plenty of water..........not so keen on the milk idea but will hold my nose when I drink it. Hope you are still feeling positive and chilling out. Alypraying - Hope everything goes ok at clinic today. Jules - Sorry to hear you were unable to get started with injections until 13 November.............I know our you feel after my visit to hospital on tuesday. Pleased to hear everything else is OK though. Dolly - Have been thinking of you, how did EC go................hope everything is OK. Gem - Try to stay positive, won't be to long now. I have no idea what your going through as this is only my first attempt but I am thinking of you and keeping everything crossed. LisaP - Glad to hear your feeling better. Vicki - Great news on your eggies, good luck for your ET tomorrow. Thanks for your advice, I will try and not think to much into the increase of drugs. Ambar - Best be careful honey, only day 3, you will be bald by the weekend.Snap.......I have sent DH to Debenhams today. We saw Angela on one of our first visits, I felt comfortable with her, shes really nice. Taken your advice, having a piece of steak for my dinner, lots of protein. Anyway leave your hair alone............will be thinking of you. Lorraine - I am thinking of you. LisaC - How are you, hope evrythings OK. Traci - Great news, good luck for your EC. Lots of luck to everyone Love Hayley

Hello Not feeling too positive today, tummy is definitely feeling 'funny' - not too sure what it is, could be the dreaded af on it's way. It is due tomorrow and I'm not testing until Monday. To make matters worse I went back to work today, probably before I was feeling better and it was c**p!! came home early and will work from home tomorrow, I really don't need to be stressed at the moment! Lorraine and Lou - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow ALy - hope your iui went well, 4 follicles is excellent my clinic would only do iui up to 3! Frances - how are up bearing up? Gemma what about you? can't believe how slow 2 weeks can drag! are you doing a hpt or going to the clinic? I'm doing a hpt and because I do my pessaries at 7am and 7pm I'll have to do it at 7 (so early) to catch the 'first wee' of the day! I'm not going to buy the test until SUnday afternoon to resist temptation. Hope you are all feeling well - lots of PMA much love Lisa x

Hi everone, realy going around the twist waiting....3 more days, i'm sure i'ii be nuts by then. in really funny mood last 2 days, really stressed, swinging from being positive to negative. 2 nights ago had convinced myself AF was arriving but thank god not. still have the same crampy senations that i have had since ET. oh yes and sore boobs & the odd sharp short pain in my lower tummy. not really too sure what i'm looking for as i haven't been pregnant before...anyone else feel the same? sending lots of ++++ to you Lisa for tomorrow & keeping everything crossed for all the 2WWs. XXX Frances

Frances j · Post by **Frances j** » Thu Nov 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Hi Lorraine & LoopyLou good luck with your tests. I'm sure all of us waiting have got carried away with every twinge, I know I have. I thought my period was coming yesterday as I had a dull ache but it turned out that I have either got a bug or eaten something dodgy as have been living in the bathroom ever since and feel really queasy. As for symptons its not so much my chest thats sore as my nipples are really tender, charming eh? Oh and my hair really thinned during the treatment not so any other than me would notice but its stopped falling out over the last day or so. I have my test on Wednesday, just keeping those positive thoughts going for myself and everyone else. Wendy

Lorraine and loupy - good luck!! vicki- good luck for et tomorrow. hope u r ok as haven't heard from you today at all. frances - I am feeling very crampy (bit like trapped wind?) too plus occasional short sharp pain, but had put it down to very mild ohss in my case due to nr of follies. still, had moderate ohss last time but didn't get the cramps, just lots of pain and absolutely enormous stomach. beckym xxx

Hi Girls Clinic phoned today I'm booked in for ET tomorrow at 11.30. Clinic did not say anything about my embies and I was too scared to ask I just figured it there was a problem they would have told me. Jules - I think that is really bad and you should definitely kick up a fuss, the least the clinic can do is pay for your extra drugs. Aly – Hope everything went well for you today. Hayley – I always worried about the injection even though my DH was doing my I kept nagging him about getting rid of bubbles make sure he measure the right amount. Dolly – Hope you are OK? Lorraine & Lou – good luck for tomorrow I will be thinking of you. 2ww be strong and positive ++++++. All being well I will be joining you tomorrow. Best wishes to you all Love Vicki XXX [Edited by vickib on 06-Nov-03 11:54]

Hey all, Becky, thanks for your message on the OCB7 thread (is easy to do isn't it!!!), my constipation started well and truly within the 2ww, I had had ohss with my previous failes IVF cycle, and then waited a couple of months prior to the FET, I had the constipation both times, and then a positive result, so this could well be a good sign. Traci, completely agree with the retail therapy idea, dh and I have been on a number of therapeutic missions of late, my visa is relly looking a tad frazzled! Good luck for tomorrow Vicki, lots and lots of PMA to you. Love to all Belinda

Lisa Ch · Post by **Lisa Ch** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 5:52 pm

Hi all Vicki how did e/t go? hope it went okay, did you manage to see the embies??? Lisa P - do work know you are going through treatment? are they okay with giving you time etc? TRaci whats the update? Loupylou I am going to read your other message and reply to you on that. Hayley don't know where you are injecting but I always did mine myself and found it easier and less painful in the tummy. Hope your second one was easier. Like some of you, sore boobs are the only thing i can feel thats slightly different, but just the same as when af is a week away anyway. Take care all PMA and love Lisa xx
