For Becky

Wake up sleepy head..I hope that you are now feeling a little bit happier and have a nice smile and rosey cheecks by the time that you read this. We must keep missing each other when online - such a shame that you can't chat (mind you I am on here enough as it is!! dh would start to hate me) I am still calling him dh because he cooked me a yummy meal, offered me a chocolate and also said that he is going to take me to Nandos in Blue Water tomorrow when we go shopping!) I hope that your h is now dh and that you have made friends and holding hands again.. As for the randy thing..the feeling has gone as quickly as it cameand now a nice bubble bath, my bood and bed is a must! You should read Ben Elton's inconceivable it is fantastic and so funny..you can really relate to all of the feelings..just can't put the book down now as she is doing the IVF injections and having the hot flushes. Brilliant news that you have got all of the follicles to the right size (wierd to think that they are all in your belly growing like little plants) Don't be scared of the ops and things just think of lots of nice things. I think if you got through the stim injections then you can do it all- They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO painful and I think that I am brave. Make sure that dh doesn't change the sperm anymore as I think you have to make sure that they are at least 3 days old at the time of the egg collection. You will have to tell me how to do the HCG injection as my clinc hasn't told me that bit yet - surely it can't be worse then the stims. Not long till we get the pleasure of the pessaries - really not looking forward to those (that is the bit that I am most scared about really) Before you know it we will be on the 2ww....only you will know a week before me if we have been given luck by the luck fairy. night night becky B

Hello luvvy ! thanks for your upbeat reply... Did you have a good shopping day today? It's throwing it down in Manchester, I hope you've had better weather. It's been all go today, up early to got to hospital for another blood test/scan, then to work for last minute panicky preparations/e-mails as I'm off next week, then bingo with mother (and we won £100), then home, website visiting and now I'm off to Sainsburys to stock up on goodies for my week indoors next week. I'm just about friends with the other half (he's still not DH) as far as I'm concerned. Are your stims getting any less painful? Are you a "wizard" at the mixing yet? I've got not injections today apart from HCG at 10.30pm which means our romantic anniversary dinner is going to get cut short as we'll have to get back from the restaurant for then (damn, I'll have to start speaking to him if we're going to have a nice meal...). Then no injections tomorrow, no blood test, no scan - yyyiiiipppppppeeeeee. Hubs is preserving his sperm and having no alcohol tonight or tomorrow. When is your next scan? I want to know how things are progressing for you! My follies have really grown since yesterday. I now have about 10 of 17mm and over, one was 22mm (massive!). Still feeling uncomfortable and I'll have to go out tonight in a kaftan as I have nothing that fits me round the waist anymore. Don't know when I'll get chance to log on again. E/c is now confirmed for Monday, reporting to hospital at 8am. I'm having a general anaesthetic - are you going to or will you be sedated? So many questions. Thanks for being around for me so far, it's really helped. Good luck and if I'm not around for a couple of days, don't worry. I'll be back... Take care love Bibby

Nothing more to tell you at the moment for me..day 4 of stims and I am constantly weeing..and have a sore lower back but feel normal so I hope that it is working..Wednesday seems ages away before my scan.. Catch up soon Love Becky B

hi Bibby...didnt want our little thread to disappear into outer space down the black hole..so thought I would save it and bring it back to the top (although I know that you are now in the land of WAITING to hear if the embies have fertilized....GOOD LUCK....thinking of you .. Love Becky B

bibby · Post by **bibby** » Tue Nov 05, 2002 11:22 am

thanks mate! I didn't want to post before I knew how many (if any of my eggs had fertilised). Good news - they got 11 eggs yesterday and 5 have fertilised!! I go back tomorrow at 10.30 to have 2 put back in and they will tell me how they are looking (good/bad/ugly) etc and if any are worth freezing. E/c wasn't as bad as I thought although I admit I did have a general anaesthetic so I was out of it. Recovering well now though and almost all pains have gone. How are you doing - still weeing? I bet you can't wait for your scan on Wednesday. Make sure you post and tell me how you're getting on and I'll update you re e/t. Won't be long until it's your turn - exciting! Keep in touch. lots of love Bibby

That is fantastic news ...brilliant..have you now started those dreaded pesseries? I am now off work until after et ..so have had a nice day today with my Nanna - learning to paint and knit and drink lots of tea and eat lots of cookies... I am still weeing abit but not as much..feel very bruised around my middle now (but not a normal type of bruise..feels more tender and rather like a pulled muscle) Day 7 now of stims and getting a lot of stabbing pains.. So I bet you are so excited about tommorrow.. Please post again today if you get a chance otherwise we will compare notes tomorrow at some point.. Fingers crossed for you..make sure you are sending good luck vibes to me around 8.00 as thats when I am bing scanned. What grades are the embies that fertilised? Make sure that you get a photo of them fromt he clinic before they go back in.. Lots of special thoughts. Love Becky B

I thought you might have "checked up" on me so I logged on again. I'll update you properly tomorrow re grades of embies, they haven't told me that yet. As for you, I will be thinking of you at 8.00 and keeping my fingers crossed for lots of follicles. I'm sending you good luck vibes..... Take care and post as soon as you can after your scan. lots of love Bibby

Hi Bibby Feel like shit ...just had the scan and 2 follicles on right on none on left...bummer! They have now increased me onto 6 powders and changed my drugs to another make.. Have another scan on Friday and they will then tell me if they are going to stop the cycle..as it looks like we aren't getting anywhere. Good luck ..will post later..too sad now! Love Becky B

I hope that et went well for you - I was thinking of you whilst having yet another blood test taken..did you have 2 put back in hte end? Any good ones for freezing? So now on the 2ww...you can join me for a couple of days for the cwtf..cant wait till friday wait... I will be back on later on after the DVD and before 'faking it' is on at 9.00 so get posting girl I want to know all about it! Trying to keep positive and smile but finding it really hard! Can't wait to mix the 6 powders..perhaps I ought to start doing them now!! (scarky) Love becky B

Hi Becky Just logged on to see how your scan went - I am really sorry it wasn't good news - but don't worry, the new drugs will hopefully work and you'll be back on track on Friday. Take care and best of luck Love T

Becky I'm glad you've picked yourself up a bit. I couldn't post again last night as I promised as DH banned me! He's going a bit over the top with the take it easy thing but he's gone to work now so I thought I'd post as soon as I could so you didn't think I'd forgotten you. My e/t went Ok thanks for asking. We had 2 4 cell embryos put back in, the embryologist said they were "good"! We've had 2 frozen and the other one was lagging behind a bit so I don't know if it will be frozen or not. My test is on the 22nd but I'm telling everyone who knows it on the 25th. So if it's -ve I get the weekend to pull myself together. Fingers crossed for your scan on Friday. I'll be thinking of you matey. If I can get past hubby patrol later tonight, I'll post again to see if you are around. Take care. love Bibby

Hello..a little bit closer now for T day for you and a little bit closer till..cwtf for me (can't wait til friday!) went onto 6 powders last night and have certainly felt loads more twitches and popping rip like feelings all of today..no hot sweats either which is a good sign.. I have been rubbing all of my good luck charms and crossing anything that will cross for tomorrow..the wait tho' is horrid.. How exciting about you - great idea about giving you a few days grace if things don't work out so you don't also get bombarded with questions...'Any news?' 'so???' 'congratulations!' ..I will do the same if I get that far. It is great that you have also got 2 frozen so if you do need to cycle again it will be alot less stressful for you and less expensive. I am feeling very flat still - hopeful..positive but also prepared for them to cancel the cycle too!..I haven't cried ..but have almost..still don't really know what I am dealing with yet... I will post when I get back from the clinic tomorrow and update you... Think of my at 1.15 having my scan ( they have made it earlier incase they need to order more drugs from the clinic which shts at 2.00 Take care and enjoy being bossed around... Love Becky B

Becky Once again, couldn't escape hubby patrol last night but he's promised to ease off a bit as he's doing my head in! GOOD LUCK, for today, I'll definitely be thinking of you. Post as soon as you can. Thanks for your good wishes too. I'm having crampy like pains which I think from other posts is everything trying to return to its normal size (ovaries, etc). I've decided not to test until it's done at the hospital as I'll just drive myself mad. A long way still to go but it is made easier by being able to talk about it. Anyway, today is about you! Once again, good luck. Take care lots of love Bibby
