TTC first baby thread 26

@Annny27 do they have any records of your chemical in May? Like hospital notes?

If it’s just your word I would seriously consider lying. I would be saying that there must be some confusion I thought it might be a chemical but I never had a positive test. I just had a period delayed by a few days so assumed it was a chemical. The hospital/nurse whoever must have wrote it down wrong.

@Annny27 just logged on- that's terrible they are calculating it from your last pregnancy. It should be from when you first started TTC!!!! I wonder if it will help trying to get your local MP on board as part of your appeal too? Or going through PALS?

Really hope you manage to win your appeal, it's terrible to have to fight for this as I recall having to fight every step of the way for our IVF and even part way through our IVF journey too x

@Annny27 going well here thank you 14+6 😀 2 years?? That's bloody unfair considering you've been on this journey for more than that!! I hope your appeal goes in your favour, keep us updated xx

@Annny27 wow 2 years for ivf. Why is it so long?

I am on CD7 of my FET. So I am taking oestrogen tablets. I think this part is worse that the injections for collection. My mood is so low on these tablets and I keep crying and I have a constant headache. I’m going for my first lining scan on Friday. Hopefully my lining is thick enough. Assuming I have no lining issues transfer will be between 9th and 14th december.

Ovulated yesterday so looks like my fet will be starting on 23 November. With a transfer between 8 and 11 December.

@Lozzlepop Im around ovulation at the mo so I expect to start taking the meds 21st November and then egg transfer will be around the first week of December. So I’ve got 2 and a half week before it starts. I’m counting down the days now. The time since egg collection in august has flown by.

@Lozzlepop eek 7 weeks already that's amazing! Feeling sick is a great sign, just eat whatever you fancy to get through. You're 4 weeks behind me 😃 I have my 12 week scan next Friday. Please keep us updated with how it's all going xx

@Kiza 4 weeks already. It flies. Enjoy every second 😊

@XjustagirlX im sure you can't wait to get started on IVF. A Christmas BFP would be lovely 😍

@Annny27 get DTD!

@Kiza thanks so much, woke up feeling super sick so staying positive- I do feel less anxious than I thought I would, DH is a bundle of nerves bless him, got sent home last week due to a Covid case in the office and he was so worried at why I’d come home.
I think she said 12 weeks for me, I have a repeat prescription I need to get so will probably get a bit extra 😂 it’s really annoying as everything is different quantities so need them all at separate times 🙈 4 weeks already, that’s flown in, I bet it’s the best rollercoaster though!

@XjustagirlX oh wow ok mine is not as extensive, probably for the best as there would deffo be something id forget to take. We didn’t really do anything different, started taking folic acid back in June along with the thyroid meds, wasn’t tracking my cycle just being fairly relaxed and enjoying the trying. We decided to do sober October anyway so I didn’t drink at all in the tww and went onto decaf coffee. I told my Dr straight away and had my thyroid medication increased and a blood test, I wasn’t happy when the results came back so they increased the dose again and have another blood test next Friday. Just trying to be super careful, getting exercise, getting a good sleep that sort of thing. Found out you can’t eat sesame seeds last night which was a new one to me! When do you start taking the IVF meds?

@Lozzlepop haha i read it starts with the egg earlier this year. I actually bought one of those weekly pill dispensers. It was the best thing I bought all year.

I’m taking 20 different tablets a day. This is just vitamins before I even start with my ivf meds. I need a bigger one because they don’t all fit in 😆

Can I ask what you did differently with this pregnancy? I’ve tried to look back through the messages but can’t see. We’re you trying naturally?

@Lozzlepop congrats on 7 weeks, it's so hard to try and stay relaxed when we've been through pregnancy loss and I remember trying to stay busy to keep my mind from overworking but I don't think it's ever possible!
Yes I think I was in 800mg until 12 weeks, they tried to stop it earlier but I recall arguing (I think fear kicked in) and so they kept me on it till 12 weeks.
Hope the scan goes well for you. Odin is now 4 weeks old and oh man what an emotional rollercoaster motherhood is- never knew you could feel so many emotions in a 24hour period! 😆

@XjustagirlX yep 800mg sounds like a good high amount. Good luck with it all!

Hey guys ☺️

How are we all? Thanks for all the well wishes ❤️ Really hoping this is the one, got my booking in appointment next week and a reassurance scan the following week so keeping everything crossed! Having a nightmare trying to book things in around work now we’re back in the office but luckily we have a long weekend planned for a wee trip away next week, so looking forward to that!

@whatsthecraic91 I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow, yup all going well due date will be the end of June- just when my contact at work runs out 😂🙈

@Kiza Odin is such a beautiful name 😍 I think I’ve to take the progesterone until 12 weeks and getting bloods to monitor my thyroid- had my dose tripled so hoping this is the last time I have to up it!

@XjustagirlX I am on 800mg of progesterone- I feel like I need one of those plastic dispensers for all the pills I’m currently on 😂

@Annny27 how are you doing after your surgery? Ready to get dtd?

@Annny27 yeah definitely, to see if I need to get pink or keep all the blue we have! I've everything crossed for you that the lap has done the trick 🤞🏼😊

@Lozzlepop how are you getting on?

@Lozzlepop congratulations!

@Annny27 @XjustagirlX my clinic put me on 400 for ovulation induction and said 800 is standard for ivf but maybe it varies by clinic?

@Kiza what is classed as a high dose of progesterone? My clinic is giving me 800mg a day but no idea if it’s high or not

@Lozzlepop congratulations! When are you able to have a scan?

Im starting my FET around 21 November. With transfer expected around the start if december. Not long to wait now.

@Annny27 glad it’s all cleared for you. Are you starting trying straight away now?

Hello everyone can I join? Ttc first baby 😀

@Annny27 oh thank you! That's fabulous news your surgery is done! Hope you are recovering well. Everything crossed this does the trick for you! Do you have to wait a while before trying or can you get started right away?
