Congratulations @Missgoldilocks!!! : ) Beautiful news. X

OMG!!!! @Missgoldilocks huge congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you 🥳💗 that's such a strong line too!! You've given me the hope I needed to carry onto month 16 xx

Aw congrats @Missgoldilocks this is great news!

I had my egg collection on Thursday and out of 22 eggs, 11 were mature and 9 have fertilised which is great news. I’m not doing so well with the post-op symptoms so might not get to do a transfer but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it in a couple of days time.

Good luck with the move @Positivity2019! I can understand how you felt with your best friend. Be kind to yourself - it’s ok to feel sad. It’s good that you’re now trying to talk to your friend about it though and allow her to be excited x

Hi all, hope you’re all doing fine. I’ve had a wee glance over the thread and seems everyone is plodding on.
I am periodically thinking of you all and have checked in past to see if there is any nice news.
The move is taking up so much time which is a great distraction. We get the keys tomorrow so this is the final straight now. I had a devastating set back to my positive attitude last week. One of my very best friends told us she is expecting her second baby and after I came off the phone to her I cried so hard. I ended up with a migraine and was off work for two days. I am so happy for her but just unbelievably gutted for my partner and I. When we started trying she was still pregnant with her first child. Smacked me right in the face. Plus I know she isn’t making such a big deal about this time or talking about it so much because she knows how I am feeling so I feel guilty for that. I just keep talking with her about it as much as possible, I am truly happy for her and it is an exciting time for sure. Thankfully, as I said, the move is a good distraction.
Anyway, this quick checking in message has become a novel. Take care everyone. ❤️

@jx0x0 definitely not as bad as expected!

@Wearenotyourkind I know it’s been a nightmare! Yes I heard back after ringing them again 3 and 4 days later! Hopefully starting next week or the week after as they don’t have any letrozole in stock! How are you?

@jx0x0 honestly I felt like such a pain ringing all the time!! But as you say nobody realises how even a month makes you feel awful when you’re going through this you just want answers and for it to be sorted! Thank you! They don’t have any letrazole in stock so they’ve said for me to ring back next week and try to get booked in if they Have any in stock! How are you?

Hey everyone,

I'm good thanks @Wearenotyourkind. 6 weeks today according to my app. We have our viability scan at the clinic next Thursday so fingers tightly crossed for that. I am glad to hear you're getting your progesterone monitored. I hope the gynae will give you some answers. I am still taking progesterone pessaries and will do until 12 weeks. My biggest tip, if you get given them, is put them up the 'back door' not the front door. I have tried both ways and back door is 100% less messy! ; ) Also glad to hear you're still going with the counseling, I hope, bit by bit , you have more good days than bad.

@hwotsit How are you? Are you feeling less anxious? I hope you have your referral sorted now. Hopefully you'll feel more in control once you have a plan in place for your fertility tests and answers about your period pains. Sending you lots of love.

@ACMJ Ugh, admin errors that slow down treatment are the most ANNOYING things. I guess people don't realise how important time is to someone who is on a fertility journey!!! Makes my blood boil! I hope you get everything moving soon.

@Positivity2019 I hope all is well with your move. Such a good distraction. We are trying to put our flat on the market at the moment. I am so bad at life admin so it's all quite daunting. Exciting times for you. Keep us updated.

@MF1981So good that you have started your injections. And chocolate afterwards sounds like the perfect reward. Once you're in the swing of it you'll be fine - aren't they a lot less painful than you'd expect them to be?

@Missgoldilocks Good luck with your Laparoscopy. I know what you mean by wanting to find something wrong. It's a weird feeling. If there is something the matter then they can fix it. Modern medicine is so amazing. I feel like I have learn't so much during my slightly frantic googling sessions and grilling doctors, ha!

Lots of love to everyone.

Thanks @Wearenotyourkind! He’s been so good at doing them and I get a piece of chocolate afterwards so I’m happy!

Gosh @ACMJ that does all sound like a right ball ache! So frustrating that things may be delayed for you if you decided on NHS route. Great that it sounds like you have the option to go private though. Really hope you get things moving soon! Did you hear back from the clinic yet?

Glad the injections are going well so far @MF1981! Excellent work by your OH!

CD25/7DPO here - the waiting game continues...

Yes AF was 2 days late so started injections last night. I was so nervous about it but my fiancé did it for me and he was brilliant! He’s definitely chief injection giver from now on!

@Wearenotyourkind thank you so much! I hope you all are as well.

It’s all been a bit of a polava this end! My local fertility clinic had transferred all of their nhs patients back to the main hospital without telling anyone! The hospital apparently didn’t even know and aren’t ready for it meaning the treatment we were going to be getting (letrazole) in 3 weeks would be delayed by 4/5 months!!!

We decided to go private but having trouble sorting out that as well as the clinic keep saying they will ring me back and never do. The receptionists know my name now just waiting to hear today but guarantee another day with nothing

Hope you're doing okay too @ACMJ

Hey everyone

How are you doing @jx0x0?

Has AF arrived yet @MF1981? If so, hope the injections are going okay!

I can totally see why you'd be excited about have the laparoscopy @Missgoldilocks. Any investigations feels like a step forward for us at this stage as we've all been waiting so long and it's hard not to lose hope. Was this your NHS fertility appt or private?

How are you doing @Positivity2019? Probably busy sorting things for the house move! Hope it's all going well.

CD24 here and 6DPO, I think. Have been feeling a bit odd, but can't imagine it's pregnancy-related. I had day 21 Progesterone bloods again this cycle - at CD16 and CD20 - results for day 20 came back as 18.7, so better than last cycle, but still not high enough. I've got another call booked with the GP for next week, so hoping she'll get advice from gynae consultant. Still continuing with the counselling and acupuncture. Some days are better than others, which I'm sure is the case for most of us.

Sending love to you all xx

How is everyone?

So glad that things are moving forward for you @Missgoldilocks. The first few days have been fine - I’m a bit gassy from the tablets but nothing major. Just waiting for AF now and then I can get on with the injections. Just hoping and praying that my clinic doesn’t get a covid outbreak and is able to stay open.

I took my first progynova tablets last night so my ivf cycle has officially started. I really don’t know what’s coming over the next few weeks but I’m ready for it. I think!

Aw great news!!!

@jx0x0 huge congratulations!!! What amazing news. Good news is long overdue on this thread. ❤️

@jx0x0 OMG OMG OMG!!!! Congratulations! Absolutely thrilled for you 💗
