Keeping each other company (thread 2)

I’m so excited and anxious all rolled into one. The relief today was welcomed after an anxious wait. Feeling the waves of nausea a little but very grateful. Thank you 😘 so glad you’re doing well I can’t believe how fast time is flying for you xx

😘

Got everything crossed for you @FlyOnTheWall89

so excited for you @Ladylou17 it’s a nervous wait but I’m sure your symptoms will kick in soon x

That reassuring @Mama500 thank you 😘
@FlyOnTheWall89 good things are coming your way I know it xx

Would love to feel huge rn. Enjoy it guys x

@Ladylou17 mine was exactly the same at 5.5 then repeat in 2 weeks.

@Cruz86 feeling huge too!!!!

Thank you @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Cruz86 all was good thank god they saw pregnancy and a yolk sac repeat in a week. Hopefully all is well. What was your repeat like @Cruz86 ?
was hoping for a fetal pole but I know it’s early xx

That’s really exciting @FlyOnTheWall89
Good luck today @Ladylou17

Great new that all is okay @Ladylou17 - hope your scan is exciting to see today!

Ye, tbh I really hoped this extra time with the borderline in one parameter on my OH might have meant we succeeded without help but not yet. It's great to have something in place and have a date to focus on. Just have to hope we get a good amount of eggs and a high fertilisation rate. 🤞🏻 - the whole journey has sucked so IVF can't be any worse tbh and I just want it done now x

@FlyOnTheWall89 oh that’s great news. Bet you feel relieved you have a date set.
im 5+1 today feeling ok, have a scan on Monday which I’m so nervous about hoping all is ok especially after last year. Hope you’re ok?xx

Hi guys - just an update.. IVF begins beginning of August! 2 more natural tries. Feeling so relieved to have that in place now! Hope you're all okay - any news? X

@Mama500 wow time has flown hasn’t it! Thanks @Janey3090 😘 I’m going to try and chill out a little now.
oh @FlyOnTheWall89 thats not long at all how exciting! Please keep me updated how you’re getting on good things are definitely coming your way I know it x

Looks great @Ladylou17!!! I dropped my car keys in bird poo today so I'm convinced I need some luck this month 🤣. IVF nurse Appointment is next week so not long to wait now! X

Congratulations @Ladylou17 , so happy for you. Those lines look great!! x

How exciting!!

Progression looks amazing @Ladylou17

Try to relax and enjoy being pregnant. Easier said than done!!!

I’m good thanks, halfway now!! Feeling slightly better luckily xx

Thank you @Mama500 im still in shock and happy/scared all at the same time. I’m 11dpo today, you think progression is ok?
how are you doing?xx

WOW @Ladylou17 SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!

Massive congratulations!!!!

How many DPO now and how long did it take it in the end?

Hope everyone else is doing well.

cant wait to see your bfp @FlyOnTheWall89 in so sorry your journey is a long one

xx

@FlyOnTheWall89 no they didn’t but they said prior to starting long protocol they recommended to have for 12 weeks as sometimes can be quantity over quality and can help spontaneous pregnancies xx thinking about it I had my first two acupuncture sessions this month I’m not sure if that’s helped xx

@Ladylou17 did they think egg quality was a factor in your not getting pregnant? It's really interesting because I've not seen this mentioned much on the forum but having read into it, it sounds great. I sleep very well although only 6-6.5 a night. Don't think I'll take it but fab that it maybe contributed to your success. Hope all continues okay 🤞🏻 xx

Thank you @FlyOnTheWall89 I did- I’ve been taking melatonin 5mg every night for 2 months now advised by the clinic which improves egg quality. There’s quite a bit of research on it which is all positive. I also ate no processed foods (which was hard!) but I’m sure it’s something to do with it xx

Huge congratulations @Ladylou17 - did you do anything differently? Classic Qu I know. No they've not said anything about melatonin...? What is it?

@Cruz86 so the process is as follows for long protocol:
From CD21 1-2 weeks of injections which will be followed by a bleed, at which point you begin FSH injections to stimulate follicle growth. Every few days I'll be scanned to see how it's all going. At some point within a 2 week period, they'll say yep it's time for the trigger shot. Then 36 hours later, I'll go in for egg collection. They'll add the sperm to the eggs and then we will get a few calls in the following days to tell us how many have fertilised and then what quality our embryos are. Depending on the situation, they'll either transfer them on day 3 or 5, or freeze them for transfer a bit later. Short protocol works with your normal cycle I think so it's less injections, less side affects and quicker...

Thank you @Lucyasc @Cruz86 im in shock after so long I can’t believe it. Feeling quite queasy and headaches but I’m so happy fingers crossed all is well. How are you?xx

@Ladylou17 congratulations! Really happy for you! X
