Hi everyone,
Rio - I totally know what you mean about feeling knackered by the end of the day! I don't think these meds help - especially the DR & progesterone, plus all the extra hormones you must now have surging through you.
Ikle - oh yes the crazy gang! I'm definitely a certified member here!! I'm definitely loosing the plot now.
Every time I feel a twinge I wonder "is it implantation" or "could it be my period about to start"?!! "or is it just the meds"?!! I'm seriously going to have lost the plot by OTD! I'm a stay at home mum now (long story!) & I'm sure having time at home not distracted by work is in some ways making this harder!
FM86 - ooh good luck for transfer tomorrow! Rio had some great advice on drinking - the worst they'll do if you haven't drunken enough is just get you to sit down and drink a bit more. To be that's always been preferable to having an accident!
The other bit of advice I'd give is to use some deep breathing - it really does help as it's like natural pain relief! I've found each transfer to be different - there was one round in particular that was quite painful, so now I try and relax and do deep breathing & focus on why I'm doing it. My recent transfer wasn't at all painful & I don't know if he used lots of lube or was just really skilled but I even told my hubby afterwards how easy it was! So good luck & I'm sure you'll be fine hun.
Goldrush - welcome to the group! I love your name too.
You are brave trying again - it's such a tough process & with this being my 6th round I know what a rollercoaster it can be.
I also had a delay in the start of my treatment - I had to have a few tests done & then lockdown happened just after we'd had our nurse planning appointment & I was in the shielding group so couldn't go anywhere for a long time.
Then I had a cyst at the start of DR, but luckily there wasn't much of a delay as I was given an Ovitrelle shot to collapse it which worked. I guess it is all just part of the colourful tapestry of this fertility journey!
Ducky - what was your official news? Was it as you'd expected? I do hope so & have everything crossed for you!
Pritamin - welcome!
Bobbinhead - I hate this bit so much!! It's like torture!! It's funny how you forget quite quickly after each round how bad the waiting is, but then this bit brings back lots of memories. My main one is of when I got AF whilst wrapping xmas presents when OTD was xmas day.
And I remember the knicker watching like it was yesterday!
Hope everyone else is doing ok on this journey.
Love,
Daffodil Xx
