Hey guys! What a morning we had, totally not we expected (i should know , the way im responding drugs...so blooming slow!) looks like we're staying in prague extra next few days. Ec isnt till next mon and doc is hoping to have 5 day transfer which is next friday.
The flights already booked for going home on fri! Lol doc was willing to do transfer for us on thurs instead so that we can go home but we were like no we'll cancel our flight and get it changed. Wanted to give this best chance, couldnt care less If we lose £200 flight...this is important so we'll be staying here for two weeks! And we're able to stay the hotel we're staying...phew!
Need to call in c&a and buy some more pair of knickers didnt bring enuff! Im little worried about folic acid and thyroid tablet as only got enough till next fri.. thinking of taking them every other day to even it out...just hope its gonna be alright!
Got scan done this morning, its 14-15mm, 11 follicles at the mo and extra two days to inject....God im very slow responding these drugs, wonder why im not developing as fast I wished

I hope to speak to someone about extras as havent mention it to doc yet.
Hi bunny, yeh the building is way out of prague, deffo need to get taxi. Im sure theres buses to get to but we havent a clue how to get there lol. Clinic was busy this morning, quite handful of woman coming in are heavily pregnant waiting to be seen to...so its a good sign! Do you know when is yr et?
Hope, have safe flight home and take it easy....ive found this information for 2ww, tho its for peeps who have immune issue but ignore comments anyway.....thought it might be useful to u and to us

21.9.1 Any do’s and don’ts during the 2ww
• Don’t exercise too much – your ovaries may be swollen after IVF and can twist causing damage if you try to do more than your body is very used to.
• Do drink plenty of water and ensure sufficient protein intake to help prevent OHSS and reduce constipation.
• Try to avoid baths, swimming pools, Jacuzzis etc – they can cause overheating/dehydration which is unhelpful for your embryos and there is a small risk of infection – stick to a warm (not hot) shower.
• Do try and avoid anyone you know is ill with anything contagious like colds or flu– especially someone with chickenpox (unless you have checked that are immune with a blood test) – you may be slightly immunosuppressed due to steroids or Humira, and if not, you don’t want to catch anything that will then cause your NKa and TNFa to rise.
• Do try to eat sensibly – to provide protein, avoid saturated fats that may increase TNFa and to reduce the constipation that comes with taking progesterone.
• Do try to rest more than usual – ‘normal’ ladies do get pregnant without resting during their 2ww but ‘immune Tx’ ladies need all the help they can get to keep their immune system calm and quiet.
• Do avoid caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, cola, red bull, iron bru, energy drinks etc). Studies suggest four cups of coffee don’t raise the miscarriage risk in ‘normal’ ladies, but I think ladies with immune issues need all the help they can get, particularly as they may suffer from impaired blood flow to the uterine lining which caffeine will exacerbate. I wouldn’t drink more than two cups of (green) tea. (I would avoid decaff tea as the processing to get the caffeine out leaves traces of chemicals – decaff coffee is safer.) In addition, risk of blood clots rises significantly during pregnancy and drinks like red bull in particular have been shown to also raise clotting risk, so I think they are too dangerous to drink during pregnancy.
• Personally, I would avoid artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame, acesulfame-K, sodium cyclamate and saccharine) because some practitioners say that they are unhelpful for fertility so I’d rather not take the risk. Research into their safety is very contradictory, with many studies saying that they are safe, but a few others saying that they are not safe, for example linking consumption of aspartame to risk of premature birth and there is strong evidence that sodium cyclamate affects the urinary tract and saccharine crosses the placenta. Sucralose and sugar alcohols like malitol or xylitol may be safer options but it still seems to me that you should try to keep intake of these low.
• Personally, I would keep sugary foods to a minimum to avoid swings in blood sugar level and only drink fruit juices which are diluted with plenty of water.
• Personally, there are chemicals that I avoid in shampoos etc e.g., methyl and ethylparaben and pthalates because some sources say that they reduce fertility. I also decided not to dye my hair (bleaching, light colours and highlights are safer), because dark coloured dyes (no matter what claims they make about having no peroxide or ammonia or whatever) contain chemicals which can be absorbed all the way through your body into your bladder – and that is just too close to baby for me to feel that it’s a good idea. I try to avoid BPA (a feminising hormone that is in plastics and the lining of food tins – but its very hard to do so because its hard to find out which cans are BPA free - but my understanding is that most food tins contain BPA. I also gave up tuna fish because its mercury content is more variable than say, mackerel.
• I have been asked before for suggestions about what to do with darker moustaches that seem to appear in pregnancy (particularly around the end of the first trimester). Personally I would stick to facial bleach and use it cautiously i.e., put some bleach on and if it starts to feel warm, wash it off with cold water then wait until your skin is completely calm again before having another go and repeating as necessary – on the basis that I want my whole body as calm as possible.
• Where there are avoidable things that you are allergic to e.g., a friend’s cat, you may want to try and minimise exposure especially during stimms, 2ww and early pregnancy - purely on the grounds of keeping your levels of inflammation as low as possible. If you normally take antihistamines to deal with an allergy, you should speak to your consultant about whether they are safe to continue to take when you may get/be pregnant.
• Some ladies choose to eat brazil nuts (see Selenium under Supplements, above) in the two week wait. Other ladies choose to drink pineapple juice, but I’m not convinced about that one.
