@Alexis7890 Nope, unless my April period comes early :(

@FfoxRedN what sort have you got? After my trigger shot I have to use cyclogest 3 times a day. Previous cycles I’ve done it in the back as it’s less messy!!

@TheBirdintheCave oh no that’s so frustrating, could either of them be moved slightly? Could the cycle for ivf be started earlier? Or delayed to after the holiday? Or holiday moved back a few days/week?

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 15:13

@FfoxRedN Since it's a fresh transfer it has to be on day five post fertilisation so it could only really be before we leave :/ I'm starting to feel like a second baby isn't meant to be for us as everything keeps getting in the way.

Ah progesterone. Which... entrance... are you using? I used to put mine in the rear door right before bed so I didn't have to deal with any mess.

@FfoxRedN I've never taken them but I've not heard great things 🙈 I get what you mean though grateful but equally like ffs why do I have to 🙄 signs are progressing that's good have the hosp or clinic said they will scan you early or you'll get bloods? What are they doing for you is what my brain is trying to type out 😂

FfoxRedN · 21/03/2023 13:21

@bringmearainbow I feel fine, first bit of queasy stomach this morning after a coffee (decaff) but other than that fine. I've started the progesterone, eurgh. It's so grim, but also grateful that I am taking it if that makes sense.

@TheBirdintheCave oh hun. I wouldn't worry too much about the odd drink if you're away, the dates could slightly become skewed by then and it may be that you get to have the transfer when you're back? xx

bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 12:37

@TheBirdintheCave it's the dream 🙏🏼 oh lovely that's rubbish 😭

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 12:33

Ah shit. I've just realised that there's another problem with our IVF. Currently the cycle will start around April 28th and our holiday is booked for the 7th - 15th of June. I'm either going to have to miss that cycle or it could end up that the transfer is right before my holiday 🙄 Then I'll have to pretend I'm pregnant whilst we're away (so no drinks! 😭) and then have AF arrive when we're back (as I don't think it's very likely to work first time).

@bringmearainbow Stability is the dream :D I am envious of everyone who ovulates the same day every month 😂

bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 11:51

@TheBirdintheCave yes started them last night nothing of interest to report. It is only CD9 today does seem a bit odd 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was going to ramp up to every other day BD on Thurs/Friday but now I don't know 😅 I don't want to get to the end of next week and be tired 😂 crap I wish it was stable very month so I knew

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 11:46

@bringmearainbow Hmm, maybe just keep a close eye on it just in case. Have you started the OPKs yet?

OP posts:
bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 11:39

@FfoxRedN thanks lovely ❤️ how you feeling? Xxx

bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 11:39

Quick question ladies I know I should really know this but my CM is creamy so I know not fertile yet but it's like really wet creamy kind of like if you tried to mix water with lotion 🤔 do you think I might ovulate earlier than end of next week the watery bit is really throwing me 😂

FfoxRedN · 21/03/2023 11:32

bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 07:43

I had a dream last night that I kept peeing on clear blues and they were positive 🙈 I'm spending this month manifesting a positive test and a baby at the end of it it's gonna happen 💪🏼

Awww I hope this this your month!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 xx

bringmearainbow · 21/03/2023 07:53

@TheBirdintheCave oooh no that's just not fun 🙈 I wish you lots of luck xxx

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 07:44

@bringmearainbow Woohoo :) Good work on the positivity there!

Alexis7890 · 20/03/2023 16:19

@bringmearainbow going back on Thursday, probably then a couple of times next week as well. I would say definitely better to be sure!

bringmearainbow · 20/03/2023 15:51

@Alexis7890 ahh I see makes sense. Yes 2 not too bad I would just go for it if it was me. It not like you have 4/5 growing. How often do you go for scans to check growth? True I don't think I will o early but better to be sure

Alexis7890 · 20/03/2023 15:45

@bringmearainbow yeah I am tempted to not reduce the dose and keep going on this one, there are only 2 follicles growing and 2 isn’t too bad, yeah they keep scanning me until either one is big enough to trigger ovulation with a trigger shot or they stop growing and the cycle gets cancelled (again). I won’t naturally ovulate so regardless of the outcome of the cycle, unless a miracle baby, we will get our ivf referral. You might ovulate early so no harm starting the tests!!

bringmearainbow · 20/03/2023 13:35

@Alexis7890 sorry if this is a completely dumb question and I've got this wrong but if this is last go before ivf can you just not bother about reducing the dose if they want you to and see what actually grows? If it's too many then not try this cycle. And if it's a good amount then go for it? I presume they then rescan you before ovulation to see how many have grown?

I'm CD8 today get to start poas later 🙈 honestly it feels like O is so far away and seems a bit silly to start now but if my crazy body decides it's going to have an early ovulation this cycle then suppose I have to 🙄 I've prepped DH told him that he needs to be ready for lots of action this month 🤣

Alexis7890 · 19/03/2023 22:50

@MrsJGrealish really hope it comes to nothing for you!!

@TheBirdintheCave it only takes one and they can live a while!! Everything @FfoxRedN and @bunnykins123 said!!

first monitoring scan tomorrow morning for this cycle, fully expect to see a few follicles growing then they panic about over response reduce the dose and everything stops growing….just telling myself one final go before ivf!

bunnykins123 · 19/03/2023 22:06

@TheBirdintheCave I second everything that @FfoxRedN said. I have also had cross hairs on FF when I know I ovulated on a different day. It's an app and it guesses based on symptoms but actually it can never been 100% correct as everyone's bodies are different. Really hoping this is your month 🤞

calimc83 · 19/03/2023 21:44

@MrsJGrealish ahh shit..wonder if there's anything else u can try instead? x
@TheBirdintheCave Hope u are ok lovely 😘, please don't give up hope yet xx

Indianna2006 · 19/03/2023 20:26

@MrsJGrealish sorry about the spotting. Will be keeping my fingers crossed it’s something of nothing. Hardest thing is just to wait. The waiting is awful.

@TheBirdintheCave Like the others have said. You did what you felt you could. And when the journeys so long. It’s all you can do.

Big hugs to everyone 💐
