@XjustagirlX my ccg only allows three transfers but they might allow more than one in each transfer, unlikely we’ll have that many though. Think I have to wait until April now because it’ll be my cycle after this next one, so late April all being well. Feels like ages.

@Annny27 we need to agree to ignore each other lol

XjustagirlX · 16/02/2022 22:35

@thislittlebird i started to develop ohss. It’s upsetting but it’s best to wait until your body is better. Can you go again next cycle? Does your CCG not let you transfer all frozen embryos and class that as one cycle?

They will put an embryo in 5 days after ovulation. I think it’s something to do with the hormones released after ovulation. Or maybe if I ovulate then my body will think I’m not pregnant but then an ET happens and it confuses it. I dunno really.

@xjustagirlx so they will transfer the embryo 5 or so days after natural ovulation

@thislittlebird haha I never know whether to respond to news on both or just one thread as otherwise ita just repeating myself haha 🤣 but i really think is fabulous that they are freezing them as FETs are more successful!

P.s just did a digital test and got the 2-3 weeks mark at 12dpo

@XjustagirlX is there a reason they need to do it before you ovulate naturally? Just wondering, maybe I’m being dim.

We didn’t do the transfer in the end. I’ve had breathing difficulties since Saturday, and I’m sure it’s a touch of ohss which will only get worse if the transfer works. Doctor said best to play it safe and do it when I’m feeling better. We have three good quality blasts frozen now, and another two a day behind which we’ll get an update on tomorrow. Really hoping they catch up but if it’s three then that’s great too. Three is also how many transfers we have funded on the nhs.

I’ve congratulated Annny elsewhere!

XjustagirlX · 16/02/2022 18:16

@Annny27 yeah I go in on day 9 to check my lining snd every second day until it’s thick enough but it has to get thick enough before i ovulate naturally. I usually ovulate on day 17 but I have ovulated on day 11.

Annny27 · 16/02/2022 17:55

@xjustagirlx yep just natural conception (4 months after my laproscopy so perhaps that has helped!)

Do you get monitored like a medicated fet?

XjustagirlX · 16/02/2022 17:38

@Annny27 congratulations. Is this a natural TTC cycle?

@thislittlebird how did it go today?

Annny27 · 16/02/2022 08:53

@lozzlepop 22 weeks oh my goodness how incredible!!!! So deserved 💗

@whatsthecraic91 yep I was quite pleased with the line. It wasn't that dark initially but has darkened when dried. But still a good line initially :)

How is your 2nd pregnancy differing from first?

@xjustagirlx so do they monitor you for when you ovulate and then do the transfer 5 or so days after that?

OP posts:
thislittlebird · 14/02/2022 17:43

@Annny27 we must stop bumping into each other like this 😂

@XjustagirlX so the plan is natural cycle and see what happens lining wise?

It’s ok. I’m going in for a transfer on Wednesday all being well. We got 15 eggs, 13 were viable, 9 fertilised and hoping some blasts remain when we go in Wednesday. Right now I have a possible chest infection so I’m a little worried about having to take antibiotics for that right at transfer because I know it’ll end up killing my good bacteria too.

XjustagirlX · 14/02/2022 16:41

I started my period yesterday so am currently on a natural cycle. I go for a scan on Monday. They haven’t said why I’m not responding to the estrogen but I know some people just don’t respond.

@thislittlebird how is it going?

Annny27 · 14/02/2022 15:50

This thread always disappears for me!

@xjustagirlx sorry about your 2nd cancelled cycle :( I hope the natural cycle works better for you!!

@whatsthecraic91 can't believe you are nearly on 2nd maternity leave. That's incredible :D

@lozzlepop how far along are you now?

@thislittlebird I keep up with you on th either thread :D

thislittlebird · 03/02/2022 22:19

@XjustagirlX hey, this dropped off my list. Sorry to hear it got worse, that’s frustrating but hopefully the natural FET will work better. Did they give you any explanation why they think it got worse with those patches? What cycle day is it now?

I’m day 7 of stims right now, going for a scan tomorrow to see what’s happening.

Lozzlepop · 03/02/2022 17:39

Hey girls 👋🏻

I’ve not had any notifications apart for one for the last message! How is everyone?

@Annny27 have you had anything back yet after your appeal?

@XjustagirlX so sorry to hear that :( have they given and indication as to why your lining isn’t getting that thick with the medication? Fingers crossed for this cycle and that you can get your transfer done 😊

@whatsthecraic91 how are you getting on lovely?

Hi so I did a second ivf FET cycle. This time I was on patches as my lining didn’t get thick enough with just tablets. Well my lining was worse with the patches. It didn’t get over 3.9mm.

It got cancelled again. I’m able to start on my next cycle but we will be doing a natural cycle. So no drugs at all.

I will go in on CD9 and see how my lining is naturally. Then if it’s thick enough then we will finically fo the ET.

Have you listened to the podcast big fat négative? I have just found it and it’s really nice to hear other women going through it. They also speak to expects each episode.

whatsthecraic91 · 21/01/2022 16:59

@Annny27 yes thank you! So hard to believe he is 1 already 😅 he's at nursery now I'm back at work and he's having such a good time 🤩 I'm 22+3 now, I finish work again in 7 weeks time I can't wait 😂

Oh it will be 🤞🏼🤩 keep us updated xxx

Annny27 · 21/01/2022 10:06

Hello @whatsthecraic91 :D did your little boy have a nice first birthday? How far along are you now?
