TTC first baby thread 26

@Annny27 hey lovely I've just seen your new year message 😆 eek that's so exciting & not far away! 2022 is gonna be your year 😍🤞🏼xx

@XjustagirlX that’s good, glad it’s not long. yeah but not this cycle the next one, 26th of Jan, but right now I think my body is going to be too early and miss the slot. I’m taking progesterone to delay a period that would be due today roughly, two short cycles in a row would shift forward my start dates about 10 days and there’s only a 4 day window :/

I think I’m going to have to ask them for norethisterone for next month.

@thislittlebird yeah I will start taking estrogen and patches just after Christmas with ET expected the second week of January.

When do you start? Do you start on CD1?

@XjustagirlX so do you have to start taking meds over Christmas? Hopefully it works out ok this time.

I got an email from my clinic saying ivf hoping to go ahead as planned at present, which is good.

Well my fet was cancelled and I had a follow up call with the consultant who actually told me I could start on my next period instead of waiting until end of January.

However because of the Christmas closures I was going to miss the cycle anyway.

But I requested noristerine (sp?) to delay my period by a week. So I will stop taking that on Boxing Day and then when my period arrives a few days later I can start a new cycle.

The estrogen tablets E2 that I was on get converted into E1. For the new cycle I am using patches which give me E1 directly.

Hope you’re ok @XjustagirlX

@Lozzlepop things are great thanks 16+3. We found out today we are having a girl! So will have one of each, can't believe how lucky I am xx

@whatsthecraic91 thank you so much 🥰 feel so blessed to get to 12 weeks! How are things with you? Xx

@Lozzlepop oh I am so happy for you 🥺 this is amazing!! I see a little girl I think! I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Please keep us updated xxx

@Annny27 Thanks So Much ❤️ Aw thanks lovely- I have reported and reposted! It was out with the normal ranges for TTC but within normal ranges for normal life so it’s classed as sub clinical hyperthyroidism so I take Levothyroxine for it

Evening all,

Hope everyone is well, just wanted to check in and I really hope this doesn’t upset anyone. I just wanted you all to know that we had our 12 week scan today and everything looks perfect.

I truly hope you all get to see those longed for lines on that test soon. lt took us almost 3 years, 5 pregnancies, 4 lots of heartache, a year of testing, an unsuccessful IVF referral and pushing to get listened to by Drs to get my thyroid tested! Sending you all baby dust!

@thislittlebird I will find out tomorrow if it is being cancelled or going ahead. If it is cancelled the actual transfer will be mid February so a 2 month wait from now. It’s because I would need to have a full cycle in between treatments.

@XjustagirlX so it’s officially in January now? That’s such a long wait, very frustrating.

Yeah they said mine is allowed in for egg collection but it really sucks. They should be allowed to come in for more than that, with a covid test or something.

@thislittlebird they said ravise I’m already on a really high dose then it’s just gone too late in the cycle snd they said too much estrogen is bad. No idea why.

It’s so upsetting that partners can’t attend. My husband was only allowed in when he had bloods taken and on the day of egg collection.

@XjustagirlX did they say why they won't give them to you? It sounds really frustrating. Fingers firmly crossed for Friday, but the potential Christmas delay is super frustrating. I'm confirmed to start treatment the last week of January but it should have been a month earlier.

My husband isn't allowed into the meds teach, which I thought was a bit odd. They said they might show it to him separately :/
I do understand the covid stuff but it all feels really harsh, it's such a stressful process from conception to birth and beyond and I would really like him there as much as possible. He has to come in on the day 2 scan because we need to redo some bloods because it's been over 3 months, but he's not allowed into anything with me.

@thislittlebird my lining was 5.5mm on CD11 then today on CD15 it is still 5.5mm. I’ve just had a call to say they won’t give me estrogen patches so they will do another scan on Friday and if it’s not at least 6.5mm then it will be cancelled. I’m so upset. I would then have to wait until my period starts end of January to start another FET. So a 2 month wait until I’m at the same point now.

@XjustagirlX oh no, don’t think the worst, it’s your anxious brain kicking in. How long have they been monitoring your lining for? What cycle day is it/how long will they give it? Will they try it with 5.5mm? I know they want 7mm but if it’s not growing and you have embryos spare from what I recall.

@Annny27 I’ve just got back from my lining scan. It’s just not growing. It hasn’t grown at all since last Friday. It is only 5.5mm. I’m on the highest dose of tablets. I’m waiting for a call today to see if they will add in patches.

I’m thinking it will get cancelled now as they shut over Christmas. Also my mind is going to the worst outcome…my thin lining is the reason I keep miscarrying and I will need a surrogate who will then run off with the baby because she is legally the mother.
