Weather warnings... ⚠️

[emu2016]

Well now; did I mention we’d had quite a week? I’d got really hacked off at the weatherman last week for not warning us about bad news coming and now the weather has decided to dump a load of snow... making it impossible for us to get anywhere.

The dumping of snow also brought news of our egg collection which took place yesterday. Our donors eggs were split between two couples. 10 to one and 12 to us. 9/10 fertilised for the other couple and 0/12 fertilised for us! What a shocker! Was not expecting that at all!

So now we have only one route our consultant wants us to take. A fresh cycle. Fresh sperm. Because they aren’t sure if there’s an issue with this batch etc. Mr Emu has been advised to take some drugs and have tonnes more sex. He’s literally just missing rock n roll from his life.

Our new fresh cycle won’t cost us any more money; which is amazing if you ask me... and you might remember that I accidentally booked the wrong flights and had to extend... “what’s £300 more” claimed Yorkshire born Mr Emu... as he told me “things happen for a reason” ... and now we need those extra days! Crazy. It also means I get to lounge in the sun and swim in the sea before transfer. I love the sun. I love the snow.

So screw you Mr Weatherman. We’ll deal with whatever weather you throw at us. My mother in law has had chocolate cake and here’s Mr Emu dragging my sledge through the park this morning! X

Well, I hope you enjoy the sun and the snow and wish you so much luck on the next round. This must be quite a tough day for you x

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

No tougher than others these days! thanks for the luck x

Hi emu2016. No words I'm afraid, but sending HUGE hugs (warm ones) and love as always. Diane

[emu2016 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thanks Diane. Hope you’re well x

[Tugsgirl]

Wow that is a shocker. Wishing you much better luck xx

[emu2016 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Just a bit! Never know what’s coming next eh?!

[E_05]

Gosh that’s so tough for you. Wishing you both lots of luck for the fresh cycle x

[emu2016 in reply to E_05]

Thank you! x

[WeeMrsH]

Extra words of warmth in addition to our exchanged messages...

I love you Emu you are amazing 😍

[emu2016 in reply to WeeMrsH]

Awwww big smiles. Double love back. xx

[-noodles-]

oh that’s such a shitter. wishing you all the very best for your fresh cycle.

forgive the stupid question, but why don’t they split donor eggs after fertilization? surely that’s fairer?

sending positive vibes ✨

p.s ❤️ your posts

[emu2016 in reply to -noodles-]

We’re using our own sperm, so we need the eggs before they can be fertilised. xx

[-noodles- in reply to emu2016]

ohhhh of course 🤪

[RunforLove]

Big hugs to you Emu2016. You really are getting the full ride of the rollercoaster.

[emu2016 in reply to RunforLove]

Feels like Pepsi Max at Blackpool right now! x

[Aleelilook]

Oh god I mean what the hell??? This is literally you can’t make this shit up type scenario. I’m so sorry it’s never easy, wishing you luck and positivity for the next cycle xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Aleelilook]

Thanks Aleelilook. I saw you asking how quick to start again earlier: you do it when you’re ready honey xx

[Aleelilook in reply to emu2016]

Thank you lovely xx

[gattonero]

Oh no ! Sorry to hear fertilization didn’t happen but good to know you still have another chance with a fresh cycle in that clinic and for free! Sending positive thoughts xx

[emu2016 in reply to gattonero]

I’m thinking all the positive thoughts now!

[Hidden]

You write things so well...

I would say never question it but to be honest I would be a hyprocite as can’t take my own advise.

Good luck Hun

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

It’s dead easy to give advice! I’m ace at it! Not so great taking it either! x

[AllWeNeedIsluv]

[Scarlett13]

You're one brave lady xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Scarlett13]

Doesn’t always feel like it! x

[Hidden]

Oh no ☹ I hope your fresh cycle works, your very strong and brave lady.

Love Mr emu pulling the sledge x

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

He didn’t have much choice! Did take him out for lunch after though! x

[Hidden in reply to emu2016]

I don't think even me promising my hubby lunch would get him pulling a sledge 🤣 x

[LauraGU]

That is quite the shocker. But you never know it may be meant to work like this and when you have your BFP you will be glad it went this way. Wishing you lots and lots of luck xxx

[emu2016 in reply to LauraGU]

I’m totally hoping that is the case Laura! x

[LauraGU in reply to emu2016]

My last round I was 3 weeks late (which never happens) and it put back our transfer. I was in such a panic over it but I got my BFP and I'm convinced that it worked out the way it was meant to. I will keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 Xxx

[emu2016 in reply to LauraGU]

Awwwwww! That definitely gives me hope! Thanks xx

[Hidden]

I'm so sorry for you guys. There are no words at all. Keep your chin up and don't let this stop you. Positive thoughts for round two , it's soo difficult ☹️ Massive hugs xxx where's yer snowman xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts. Yes. I know... I must!

Too busy sledging to make a snowman!

How’s that little embryo doing? Day 3 tomorrow? x

[Hidden in reply to emu2016]

It's doing well so far I was sooo nervous this morning, I felt sooo sick. Hoping it survives the night and that it's a strong little fighter. Nothing's ever simple. 😁 On a funny note though I have discovered what love is .... love is when your husband rubs your back whilst you try to take a 💩 coz the meds make you sooo constipated 😂😂😂

I really do feel for you youve been such a massive support on here for everyone. Where about are u? My parents are in aberdeenshire and it's apparently red warning alerts xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

Your husband sounds amazing! Mr Emu would be more likely to tell me to get out because he needed to go! 😂😜😂😜 That is true love. Your hubby deserves a medal!

Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you. You’ll be answering that call so fast tomorrow!

I’m based near Leeds; you? I have friends who are in the red warning zone... they’ve predicted end of the world! x

[Hidden in reply to emu2016]

😂😂 I'm not gonna tell him about the medal his head may expand slightly 🤣 I'm from a place called Ellon just north of Aberdeen but I'm in Spain at the moment. Is it bad I have nooo idea where Leeds is 🤣🤣 my geography has always been shite.

Mum said the snow is horrific all schools are shut and everyone's been told to stay in xxx

[7AVA]

That really sucks but I’m glad the clinic have a plan - rock n roll for you two for the next few months then! Enjoy the snow ⛄️ and look forward to the sun☀️ - sending all the luck your way xxx

[emu2016 in reply to 7AVA]

Thank you. Send luck but ease off on the snow - there’s so much this morning!! x

[Hidden]

Was really sorry to read about this but I am really relieved to see you have a free fresh cycle.

Also, that's an awesome photo. Love your writing.

When will the next fresh cycle be? xx

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

Pending us going through with it (Mr Emu’s mum diagnosed with cancer last week) it’ll be injecting from 4 April and egg collection around 7/8 May. I was astonished how amazing the clinic were in supporting us.

Thanks for loving my writing. I really must sort my blinking blog! x

[Se99]

Oh my gosh I was not expecting to read that 😢 I so hope this new plan is just what you need, and how amazing the extra flights worked out!x

[emu2016 in reply to Se99]

Hey you. I wasn’t expecting the news either! It’s reopened chats about adoption I thought I’d buried forever. Is it bad to say I want my life back??! xx

[Se99 in reply to emu2016]

Not at all, I think this all the time, so tired 😢 hang on in there, you have a plan and you have to give it your all!x

[Cinderella5]

Oh Emu, what an absolute shocker! As if you've both not got enough on your plate with the shitty "weatherman"! Hope you've gotten over your news from yesterday and absolutely delighted that you're being given the opportunity to try again at a freah cycle at no extra cost, that is such a biggie! I think you've got a sixth sense with your planning details....now you can gloat to Mr Emu that in fact you saved him money as you didn't need to cancel and rebook!!😂😂xx

Ps glad to hear mother-in-law has been digging into your chocolate cake....you sound like an awesome daughter-in-law.😗xx

[emu2016 in reply to Cinderella5]

I AM TOTALLY TELLING HIM THIS FACT NOW!!!!! I saved us money! xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to emu2016]

🤣🤣🤣

[Amanda86]

Sorry to hear that Emu, that must have been a shock 🙁 wishing you lots of luck for your fresh cycle xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Amanda86]

Thanks Amanda. We’ll get there. I’m sure x
