Final blood screen tomorrow , pick up medication then start down reg on Saturday 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[RhinoCat]

The nhs nurses have been awesome trying to get my cycle sorted over the summer so that I don’t need off school now or in new term 💐🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 this means I can have peace and privacy without 100 colleagues asking where I’ve been and what I’m doing , or worse, assuming I’m pregnant and talking about babies all the time 😆🤯

I’m on down reg for weeks to tie in with having an anaesthetist for egg collection so I’ll just have to roll with it!

Anyone know if Bemfola needs kept in a fridge?

Would I be crazy to go visit my brother in Scotland and risk covid or being isolated for being in contact with someone ?????

Don’t want to regret missing my nieces first birthday but also don’t want to ruin my only nhs turn 🥺🤪

What would you do?

Good luck RhinoCat!!! 🥰🥰🥰 hmmm it’s a hard one with visiting Scotland. Have you had the vaccine? Xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Londongirl84]

I’ve had one vaccine and due second early July 🤪

[Ranchu90]

Bemfola you have to keep it in the fridge, this is what chemist told me and I had ❄️ symbol on the boxes. I am keeping everything crossed for you ❤️🤗

[Purpledoggy]

Bemfola defo in the fridge-also I had to get some extra from the clinic and they retrieved from the fridge as well xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purpledoggy]

Thanks! Nurses didn’t mention

Bringing freezer bag 🤯 glad I mentioned this! Thanks 🙏🏻

[AuroraXen]

I haven't been on Bemfola so can't help there but Wow, SO glad you're starting . And Saturday! 🎉🥰How long do you think you'll be down-regging then? xx

[RhinoCat in reply to AuroraXen]

It’ll be 3 weeks and 5 days, then stims starts on 16th July, predicted egg collection 29th July 🙏🏻💐

[Jonesy84]

So happy things are moving again for you! All the best for this round xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Jonesy84]

Good luck 😉 Go with your instincts for your nieces birthday. This is a big chance for you that you want to do everything to give it your best shot. If you don’t go to your nieces 1st birthday you can always make it up to your niece and her parents and go to Scotland at a later date.

If you were my relative I’d tell you don’t worry about a birthday and focus on what’s best for you for now. There will be plenty of birthdays that you can attend in the future. Your niece will not remember you weren’t there for her 1st birthday. As long as you explain your reasons without going in to too much detail. Covid is a good enough reason to say why you can’t go so don’t feel guilty 😊

So whatever is your gut feeling and you think is the best for you and your chance to have a baby.

This is your big chance 😊🌈🥰💗Wishing you all the best for tomorrow 🙏🏻 Give yourself a pat on the back for getting this far. You have done amazing x

[RhinoCat in reply to Cswanlake36]

Thank you so much lovely 🦢🌊 🥰 Think I needed to hear that. I’ve only ever seen my Wee niece twice in her life and you are right, she won’t know😣 and I guess my brother would understand. It’s just so hard , but if I got isolated fir ten days my work would be cross too 🤪 it is a big chance , I just find it hard putting myself first. Thanks so much 😘💐💐

[Cswanlake36 in reply to RhinoCat]

Just do put yourself first in this case. You’re not doing any harm. Also maybe look at it as you are putting you, your partner and your future child first. So you’re being a great partner and doing your future baby the biggest favour in the world. So you aren’t completely being selfish in this case and you are thinking about others 😊

You will thank your future self and still have your niece to look forward to too 😊💗🥰

[RhinoCat in reply to Cswanlake36]

Agreed 😘💐 thanks so much

[Belangalo]

So happy to hear it's all starting for you!!! 🤞 As for your niece's first bday...if it were me I wouldn't be taking the risk. This NHS round is important and it's happening on a timeframe that suits you best! Take care of your needs first and you can always bring an extra big present at a later date! 😊😉 For me, the regret of a suboptimal cycle or cancelled cycle would be worse than the regret of missing a first birthday that your little niece isn't going to remember. Good luck! Xxxxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Belangalo]

Bingo ! All of these words ☝🏻 you are right ✅ defo wouldn’t want a cancelled cycle after two years …. I’ll speak to my bro after bloods tomo. I know he would understand and he wouldn’t want me coming in fear 😰 Thanks so much 😘💐

[hifer]

Everything crossed for you my lovely. I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be travelling to Scotland at the mo. For my last round we were basically shielding so didn’t really see anyone. Not suggesting you do that as it was in different Covid times and I also hadn’t had any Covid jabs but we just didn’t want to take any risks. This is such a precious time for you. Your niece will not know that you weren’t there and I’m afraid to say that this is the time to be selfish and focus completely on you and what’s right for your IVF journey. You can see family another time. Loads of luck 🤞xx

[RhinoCat in reply to hifer]

Ps I didn’t go over in the end. Felt like the right decision and my brother is coming over to me soon 🎉

[hifer in reply to RhinoCat]

Oh well done for making that tough decision. Hope you felt like it was the right one (sounds like the right one to me 👍) xx

[ttcemmie]

Hope all is going well! Exciting that it's finally happening. Wishing you the best. xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to ttcemmie]

Just in the down reg zone at mo with the yuck nasal sprays. Providing our covid tests are negative, I start stims on the 16th 🤩😳😵‍💫 scared excited all over again 🙄 how are you doing?

[ttcemmie in reply to RhinoCat]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god starting stims on the 16th. Awesome. I'm good thanks. x
