Hi Tiger!!!

Ggggrrr this weather is really getting on my nerves! It makes me feel like I have to do cleaning, not good!!! I hope you're feeling better today. Waiting for the ellusive AF again! Crossing my fingers for Wednesday, all systems go then eh??

Wasn't planning to watch the Olympics, I'm not really into sport but seem to have got all caught up in the it!! Can't help myself it's sooooo exciting!! This week I am mostly an expert in synchronised diving, dressage and gymnastics. Woohoo show jumping today!! I imagine if the weather had been better though I may not have been so interested in the TV lol x

Chicken - Fingers crossed for you too, as soon as it all starts happening, it's sooo fast. I was amazed how fast you go from nothing to your transfer is tomorrow!!!! Good luck with it.

Yeah you are right, men are the lucky ones, all they have to do is ask us how we're feeling every few days cos they think it makes us feel better ha ha xxx

Sounds like you've had a tough day. Hopefully going to work took your mind of things but I know it's hard to just switch off.  Have they said why it's not worked? 

hi Tiggerlilley1,

It was all rush with them this morning i felt i was nearly in there way maybe it was just my mood. I asked why it wasnt working the doc said ask yourself what your date of birth is?? im 39 and he said well isnt it obvious. I was a bit annoyed to be honest. They took more bloods upped the dosage said see you friday. As straight and blunt as that. I cried the whole drive to work just fed up at this stage. How has your day been ?

Hi Tiggerlilley1,

I have had a tough day but survived . To be honest im more cross than anything i just felt they were pushing me through this morning and i asked why its not working and the doc said 'think about it ? whats your date of birth ? i said im 39 he said well isnt it obvious 'your age' as blunt as that. This is my first go ive never had this before and i feel so lost to be honest im not making any eggs at all.

I would be angry too, how rude of them to say that to you!!  Doctors can be so insensitive! If it was that simple why didn't they put you on a higher dosage to start with?!Where abouts in the country are you? 

There is still a chance that upping the dosage will work, your not alone in all this.  I'm here if you need to talk

OMG Chicken, I can't believe that!! That's rubbish, loads of people have IVF over that age!! I'd be livid! Don't lose hope, everyone is different, you may need more help with this bit but respond better to the later stages! I'm 37 and have just about everything wrong with me that could be wrong, it didn't work first time but I know it will work in the end. Try to stay positive xxx

TL - Any sign of AF. You getting excited???? Have you started the nesting/window shopping stage??? xx

Hi Chicken

I'm not sure what happens if stims don't work, if I was you I would ring the clinic and ask them, it would put your mind at rest at least.

Not sure if my journey is similar. I took Northisterone to trigger AF as they are few and far between.  I was on Menupur 112.5 injections to stimulate and Ovitrelle 250 trigger shot. I had transfer 2nd July but it didn't work this time. I'm in limbo at moment as need 2 more AF before can try FET. I have 2 frozen.

It's a long and rocky road but hang on in there, it'll be worth it in the end!!!

Alright Georgie76, How are you?

Sorry I didn't reply last night I was out with my sister and my mum.

I've been having cramps since last week and they are gettting stronger and more often but no af yet!!!  I've got until the 8th Aug for something to happen if not I have to go back in for a scan.  I know I should be but no I am not excited.  I know my story isn't a bad one but after the set backs over the last few months I can't say I am feeling positive about this time but I am not feeling totally negative either. (even though writing this I sound really grumpy!!! he he I'm blaming the drugs!!!  ) I'm just focusing on doing one step, getting passed it and doing the next! 

Oh but talking of baby stuff I did see twins in a i Candy double pushchair.  Little babies, one with a blue blanket and one with pink!  How cute!!

Hi Chicken1,  How are you?  I know it's really hard to stay positive, I hope tomorrow goes well and they aren't mean to you like last time. Good luck. x x

Hiya both

Oh dear, we are all down in the dumps today!!! Chins up girlies!!! It WILL be our times soon. If it doesn't work this time, it WILL work!! and by the time it does we'll all be so mentally disturbed by the torture we've been put through our kids will have to look after us lol xx

Chicken1 - Make sure when you go you get all the answers you need. Don't let them fob you off x

TL - In some ways I think it is better to be negative, I find it helps. If you assume it's going to work you can only be dissapointed! Don't worry about no AF, enjoy the sunshine while you can, it's bound to not last long!!! Anyway, one small consellation is, if your AF decides to take it's time, we might end up on 2WW together, at least we can stress out together!! Although if my usual cycle is anything to go by, it'll probs be this time next year before I can try FET lol xx

What you up to this weekend? Anything exciting? x

He he they can wipe our dribble!!!  

So do you just have to wait?  You have no idea when your af will happen?!  No matter what happens with me, I'll be around for your next 2ww  but it would be great if it was at the same time! 

Ermm....this weekend I am going to try and get out in the garden, I've not really done alot to it recently.  I've got my pond but it's not ready to be put in yet so I have 4 weeks or so to do as much as I can!  How about you?

P.s I am feeling happier now and not so doom and gloom!!  

When I spoke to hosp on OTD (19th July) they said I had to wait 6 weeks to get a letter (3th August). Not sure what the letter will say though, they didn't tell me that! They seem to work on a need to know basis!! She said I had to have 3 AF before FET so I'm pretty sure I won't have one before end of August so hopefully they will give me Northisterone again to kick start everything. Hopefully if they do it'll be maybe end of Sept or beginning of October. If they don't give me drugs, you'll probs be celebrating the birth of your grand children while I'm still waiting!!

I'm going to the local animal shelter summer fair on Sunday, not a good idea, I'm a sucker for a fluffy little face and OH doesn't like animals so it's going to be a hard day!! Might just stuff a baby rabbit up my jumper, how long you reckon I could hide it till he noticed???

Yeah get digging! Next month you might not be able to, hopefully the weather will hold out for you. I'm planning on a few drinks if it stays nice, I'm loving getting that Friday feeling again, when you're not working Friday night is just not the same!!
