Fertility Appointments and Beyond.... the journey continues

@JeanieJ looks good to me!!

I knew it, I fucking knew it. A casual one line email this morning. 'I have confirmed that is a Frozen Embryo transfer you are having not another fresh cycle.'

Why are they so fucking incompetent? To not have a call back for three weeks, to be completely ignored, to finally getting a call with completely wrong information - and me asking if she's sure, to be told yes that's what the consultant said, to checking my prescription and all of the drugs for stims being there.

To a one line email, 'oops we fucked up again'. I shouldn't have posted- I knew the fuckers were wrong.

@JeanieJ that looks very positive!

Fingers crossed for you.

@magnoliasinbloom wow, amazing strong lines. How exciting. Hoping this will be us in some months time xxx

@JeanieJ yay that looks positive!!! 😊😊 keep us posted on your tests tomorrow.

@Sofasogood1 that’s amazing if you can do another stims cycle! I followed @Gracie2021‘s advice for thickening lining too a couple of weeks ago and started taking high dose vit E (1000 iu from H&B) and having a blanket over my stomach and lower back at home. It seemed to work!

@jeaniej i say again, I dont even get ovulation tests that good! Take an expensive test tomorrow but its looking good! Wooooo! X

@JeanieJ those bloody things never show lines! I agree with the others! Looks good to me!

@Juno231 I'll do one tomorrow if my hcg strips are positive tomorrow.
I've never had a 2nd line before, so I'm really shocked & paranoid it's a dud test or a chemical.
Sorry if that pic upset anyone.

@JeanieJ that's not even a faint line - if you did a frer now I reckon it would be really strong!!

@Gracie2021 Soz, I realized you said @beckyCarlos & I might have similar cycles 🤦🏻‍♀️

@magnoliasinbloom congratulations that's amazing!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@Gracie2021 yeah, I think we'll be lining up at the same time - good to have a cycle buddy.

TW!

So, I'm a bit confused ... I've been waiting for AF to show up this weekend, so I can book in for my pre IVF scan, I thought it would show up on Friday. I got a faint line today, but I don't really believe it, so I'm waiting a few days ... what do people think?
I have been on & off antibiotics this month for root canal treatment, so maybe my cycle is messed up? DH & I only BD once during my window and not with a positive opk, just EWCM.
Not sure what to think, I'm 3 months post lap (endo & internal scarring) & 1 month off IVF.

@magnoliasinbloom wow, I dont even have ovulation tests that look that good! So so pleased for you x x x

@gracie2021 good luck with the trigger!

@sofasogood1 that sounds really complicated, I hope you get some answers tomorrow!

@gracie2021 Wishing you the best of luck for your trigger and collection on Tuesday! Hope you can relax the rest of the day afterwards?

OK so I finally got my call Thursday. I asked about the frozen transfer process (it was supposed to be a fresh but my lining wasn't good enough - I got told immediately after egg collection, so was a bit of a shock).

I asked about the impact of this on my NHS 'one fresh, one frozen' rules, what they'll do to thicken my lining, why hadn't the issue with my lining been spotted earlier?

I didn't speak to a consultant but the nurse did and said I'll be doing another stims cycle, same protocol as before.. Which I thought was impossible given the 'one fresh, one frozen' rule. I questioned this and asked if she was sure. Obviously this would be amazing to try and get some 'better' embryos as the two we have don't have a great chance. She said she'd check with the consultant and call me back the day next (Friday). She didn't of course.

I've checked my hospital account and it has a load of drugs just prescribed, including menopur etc as well as some new stuff I've googled that looks like it's there for the lining.

So my hopes and well and truly up that we get another fresh crack at this and still have the two (not great) embryos in the freezer. I hope they don't call tomorrow and say 'oops yes sorry, we were wrong'?!?!

I start norethisterone on Wednesday I think.

Anyway, has anyone had an issue with their lining - what did you take/do?

@magnoliasinbloom brilliant news! 🎉🎉🎉
@Gracie2021 that came around quick! Fingers crossed. 🤞🤞🤞

@magnoliasinbloom woohoo! Fabulous news!

@Gracie2021 @paintfairy @beckyCarlos @Juno231 thanks so much!! Tested again this morning on a FRER and digital and feeling optimistic. I’ll ring the clinic tomorrow.

@Gracie2021 is your egg collection tomorrow? Wishing you lots of luck! xx

@magnoliasinbloom aah that's such a strong positive! Definitely not trigger at this point! 🎉

@magnoliasinbloom omgggg!!!! That is amazing!!!!

@magnoliasinbloom absolutely not the trigger! Congratulations! 🥳🎉🎉🎉

First time testing at 14 dp IUI. It could be remnants of the trigger so will test over the next few days… but I’ve never had a positive test before and it’s so shocking to see one!

@thislittlebird hopefully it won't really be a three month wait between transfers. Remember age is just a number, and you hopefully not much will have changed within the next year regarding your numbers. Maybe its worth talking to the clinic and asking them what the wait between transfers is?

@Sofasogood1 OMG!! I'm so angry for you!! Its just rude. Please file the complaint, and keep calling them until you get through. Is moving clinics an option?

I had my BMI check for our IVF yesterday, we passed (as expected), so now we are waiting for our appointment letter in the post (which I assume will come in after our funding has been approved).

@Sofasogood1 glad they called, what was the call outcome?

@Gracie2021 how do they fit in two in March? I’m assuming you have a period between collections so I’m trying to get my head round it.

Really positive news on your scan! Fingers crossed one or two of those slow ones catch up since you’ve got a few days left, you never know. Monday or Tuesday for collection is great progress, it’s nice to get that far.

@Gracie2021 that's amazing!! So so thrilled for you, especially given what you went through last month. And I'm sure this would give you confidence going into the next round too? xx

@Sofasogood1 I'm glad they called you back, but not that they put you through unnecessary anguish! I hope you're feeling okay today and do let us know what they said when you've had time to process.

I feel the same, my husband's results have always come back great, and I am the weak link because no matter what PCOS lifestyle measures I follow I barely ever ovulate :(
