What IVF dose and how many eggs did you get?

Progressing nicely...

@SH998 happy to hear youre all booked for your transfer. So your lining clearly was thick enough? I found it quite intense my FET couple months ago, I had just one embryo from that cycle and it was a day 3 8 cell grade 1. So all or nothing at the time.

Thank you. I'm definitely pregnant. I only have 2 first response tests left so will use one tomorrow morning and then on my test day the clinic gave on Friday I think 11dp5dt. I would say 2dp5dt to 4dp5dt I could feel cramping, I was like a hunchback, that I know was when implantation happened so I was like hmmm could be. Then day 6dp5dt I say that the line even though faint was darker than the test 2 days ago and I was like "oh I think I'm pregnant" then yesterday the test was darker and I was like "I'm so pregnant".

So now it's all about just watching the lines getting darker as it's so early. I read that with chemical pregnancies the lack of pregnancy symptoms is a sign and I'm having shooting pain in my breasts so trying to be positive. This new clinic I'm with don't do blood tests where I go in so it just realise on me testing.

Progressing...

Morning, so I did a first response test this morning 6dp5dt and the line was there, darker than the test I took before. So it's looking good. I just hope the line keeps getting darker.

Afternoon all, on 5 days past my 5 day transfer I tested on a cheapie pregnancy test that detects 10miu. There's a very faint pink line. It could be the trigger shot still in my system after 12 days. We will see.

Meant to test on the 25th.

@SH998 fingers crossed your lining is thick enough. If it isn't on the first scan it will very likely be on the second. My first scan I was 7, the clinic wanted 8, few days later I was 10. I saw on YouTube different clinics have different requirements.

This is my 6th tww and everytime I have symptoms I guess looking for it but I don't believe I've had cramps this early or for this long. Ive never had a blastocyst transfered in me just did IUIs and a 3day embryo 8 cells. Some women test 4dp5dt. It's kind of early. I had a trigger shot on the 7th might be still in my system. With FET you won't have a trigger shot so that's a bonus. No needles.

@SH998 hope you are well and everyone else in the thread.

Today is 4 days past my 5 day blastocyst and I'm having sharp cramps. Its been happening since 2 days past. It could be implantation cramps but then I was thinking it could be to do with the vaginal pessaries emitting progesterone but I've had a read and the only side effects is vaginal irritation. So fingers crossed it is implantation.

Thanks @hopefulivfer . When I work it out I've done 10 weeks worth of the tww in the space of a year from 4 IUIs and 1 3 day ivf. The first time I was all delicate and careful, analysing every symptom and now its so different. 😊 I read its a 50% chance of pregnancy this time which is the highest I've encountered.

Another update

I had my fresh 5 day embryo transfer today. The embryologist said its a 4BB. I read that means expanded blastocyst and good. Two embryos were frozen today, the other 3 they will culture until tomorrow so see how they are. So now for the 11 day wait.

Hope everyone is good.

@SH998 I'm sure you will be fine on the hormones. For me I was fine up until my period was delayed by several days then it was like my body was off chemically causing all this tension and build up, foggy, flustered it was only until my period started that I could feel myself turning back to normal. Wonder if the menopause is like that for some. Would have been nice if the clinic gave me some of the symptoms prior. 2mg 3 times a day of Estradiol. I'm on vaginal pessaries for the fresh transfer only.

I will freeze my remaining embryos if they are OK. For many reasons like if i don't get pregnant, I do possibly something happens, also I don't have kids, I'm 39 single, I want only one but I don't know how I will feel having a baby I might want more.

@ChChange I would definitely ask the question about a higher dose. I was on 150iu last time 4 embryos only 1 good embryo from it that didnt implant so in the follow up i said i want a higher dose, he said that would result in more eggs, this time i got double the embryos 8, 6 all good grades. Plus all were bigger sooner resulting in a collection 2 days earlier. The nurse overseeing it said my embryos had taken much better to the higher dose. Of course there may be reasons why they don't want you to increase the dose everyone being different but they should explain it.

Just an update. The embryologist called this morning about the 6 embryos, 5 are grade 1 and 1 is grade 2. After my last experience where I had 4 embryos with every grade you can imagine, only 1 being grade 1 its a pleasant surprise. 5 day embryo transfer is 2pm Monday.

Hope everyone is doing well.

@ChChange 12 eggs in the past is good. You could say the consultant can you go on an higher dose. I was on 225iu this time and there were 15 eggs but 8 retrieved. Cycle before I was on 150 gonal f and got less I asked the question and he changed it. If you start off high they're meant decrease your dosage if they think it's not progressing as it should from the scans.

Thanks. Last I had one day 3 perfect looking embryo transfered this time they won't freeze on day 3 so it's all down to day 5.
