Fertility Appointments and Beyond.... the journey continues

Thanks for setting up the new thread! @Gracie2021

@thislittlebird you're having a freeze all aren't you? If so I don't think you'll be prescribed progesterone straight away as you won't need that until just before your transfer, after you've been on estrogen and your lining is thick enough for FET. My clinic will only give me exactly what I need to the day, for only a few weeks at a time. It's super annoying as having to keep travelling back and forth but maybe yours will be different. And yeah I am on cyclogest, i think that's the main form of progesterone pessaries so hopfully that's what you'll get. Make sure you enquire about lubion injections too, for extra progesterone support.

@PurpleUnicorn01 Ah I'm so sorry to read that. That must have been and probably still is really really hard. I hope you can get started again soon. Do I remember correctly you had quite a few frozen embryos?

@paintfairy ahh good luck for the scan tomorrow! Bet you cant wait. How have you managed to get through the wait between positive test and scan? My scan isn't for another 3 weeks and I'm still testing most days. Have you had any 'symptoms'?

@paintfairy it worked for me. Id go for it. Its do relaxing too x

Ok, I've just been back and caught up with what I missed.
@dogmam - congratulations! 🥳 That's great news.

There was a lot of talk about acupuncture too. I have been going (much to my bank balance's dismay). I started before my ivf and I've been going throughout, at her guidance. Does it work? No bloody idea. But I don't dare stop now. My lady is a fertility specialist and actually used to be an ivf nurse. No one IRL knew about our ivf, so I found it really useful to have someone else to talk to, in addition to the acupuncture side of it. It won't hurt though, even if it doesn't work. But I definitely wouldn't pay if I felt it was the wrong person.

Thank you all. Im hoping im thr new year.

Its so nice to hear from you all. I know we've been on previous threads together. I hope you are well and congrats to those expecting and good luck to the heros still trying x

@Gracie2021 thanks for the add. I keep falling off this thread and failing to keep up!
I hope everyone is OK?
@PurpleUnicorn01 I'm really sorry to read your update. That must have been devastating. I hope your FET goes well. 🤞💐
I'm waiting for my first scan next week, when I'll be 8 weeks.

@Gracie2021 Thanks for the add

@PurpleUnicorn01 oh, i'm so sorry to hear that, it must have been really difficult for you xx I will have everything crossed for your next FET xxx

@Gracie2021 thanks for the add 🙂

@PurpleUnicorn01 really sorry about your loss, you poor thing 😔 thinking of you Xx

@thislittlebird - I'm just gonna wait for my funding appointment and see what they say. I'm really confused as to how endo & internal scarring can not impact fertility 🤷🏻

@Kay00 yeah, it is interesting about the scarring ... I was 8 when I got the appendicitis & was actually initially misdiagnosed because my appendix was in the wrong place & it confused my doc ... ended up in A&E when it had swelled to the size of an adult man's fist & the infection had spread across my abdominal area ... so all the internal scarring is from that ... had no idea it would follow me into my adult years 🤷🏻

@jeaniej just read your update at the end of the last thread. Frustrating that they don’t consider that any sort of explanation. Unexplained in my CCG is three years, which is nuts, especially since a lot of women are over 35 when they are going through this stuff.

Thanks for tagging me in @gracie2021 :)

@purpleunicorn01 I'm so sorry to hear your news x

@Gracie2021 thanks for the new thread!

@PurpleUnicorn01 that’s really shit, I’m sorry to hear the news. Fingers crossed for your next FET.

@PurpleUnicorn01 oh that's so shit, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine :( when do you think the FET will take place?

Hi all, thank you for the add @Gracie2021
I sadly had a miscarriage my 7 and 8 week scan was fine then 12 week we had no heartbeat. Was heartbreaking.

We are trying to move forward now. Starting FET process next week, so 2 weeks of the down regs.

How are you all?

@Gracie2021 thank you for setting this up for us! I'm taking my seat on the bus :)
