FM86 that is amazing!!!! I have tears pricking my eyes!!! How many embryos did you have transferred?

Rio - we’ve booked a train down. We decided we needed to go down the day before just in case there’s delays and we miss our appointment. So were heading down Thurs evening and back Friday evening. We’ve booked first class because my husband is worried second class would be too risky with people sitting right behind us. It’s costing a fortune but also seems like a drop in the ocean compared to cost of treatment! My parents will babysit my wee boy. Husband is coming down but not allowed into the hospital.

FM86 that is just so fantastic!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!! I’m thrilled for you!!

Lorz- first class with be worth it. Best for you to be able to sit back and let the train take the strain Hope all goes smoothly for you. I think it’ll be like a ghost town here when you arrive. Nice and quiet and safe for you.

How is everyone feeling about second lockdown in England? I have 7 members of my team coming back to work from furlough tomorrow and now they don’t know if we’ll need to tell them to not work for another month. I know they are all desperate to get back to being part of a team. They’ve been off for so long. Other than that, it’s not going to impact me much - I’ve basically been a hermit for months, but I know it will be very stressful for lots and lots of people.
Hope you’re all well xxxxx

Hi MiaCat

You’re right - I bet it will be eerily quiet. It’s infuriating timing. We have a child free night and day and day in London and literally no where to go! We can’t see family or friends while we are down either!!!! Not to worry. Just got to count our blessings!

Hey ladies

FM, beautiful news it must feel magical seeing 2 tiny heartbeats flicker on screen, I hope you and hubby are able to enjoy this time without too much worry.

Miacat how are you holding up? Managing to stay sane hon x

Goldrush,  I haven't seen anything from you for a bit,  are you doing ok,  did the thaw go OK, sorry if I've missed your update, thinking of you.

Loz, going first class will be so worth it, be sure to stuff your pockets with biscuits and cake so you feel better about the expense lol.  Such a dam shame you will under lock down but a night away will still be a nice break.

We had our weekly scan today, just in time to save my sanity after all my pregnancy symptoms disappeared completely Thursday night and have not come back, I've been convinced it was going to be bad news but bubs is still hanging in, measuring 8+1 which is a couple of days ahead and a strong heartbeat of 158 which is still amazing me after the rocky start.  We're taking it one week at a time. Hugs to all,

Oh that’s good iklefeet. I’m feeling nervous as my symptoms aren’t anything like with my daughter. Not feeling sick at all. Debating paying for a scan at my clinic but only have a week and a half to go till NHS one.

Lorz80 - safe travels down - enjoy first class on the train. Hope you can still have a walk around London. Hope transfer goes well. Fingers crossed xxx

On the train and almost in London! Looking forward to getting there. Weird being away from my 2 year old. Have barely had time to think about tomorrow. Guys have been terrible at communication!! Is there anything I should have brought that I haven’t?! Anything i should do on the day before or after?! I know I need a full bladder!

[iklefeet]

All the best of luck for transfer Lorz,

I don't know what type of suppositories you are on but my previous clinic didn't tell me to pop the morning one on day off transfer through the back door so it didn't interfere with the catheter for transfer.  Also don't forget to drink a bottle of water so your bladder is half full before transfer.
How exciting nearly pupo

Hugs and best wishes,  Ikle xxx

Thanks icklefeet. Interesting about the suppository! I wasn’t told to do that last time so not sure whether I should have done that this time or not. I inserted this morning’s one  as normal before I saw your message! Appointment isn’t til 2pm so maybe the suppository will have dissolved by then. I’ll make sure I have water! It always makes me nervous incase the appointment is delayed.
Thanks again for the info!!
