TTC for 18+ months and feeling low!

@Natty2 hey! How are you? I was literally thinking about posting on here!

I had my frozen transfer yesterday. I was very emotional yesterday, they called me on the morning to say my progesterone wasn't as high as they would like it but hoping this doesn't affect the chances. So yeah that sent me into a negative downward spiral!

However transfer was actually a lovely experience and made me feel positive and happy again. The only thing is I feel so normal and can't feel anything going on. I know you shouldn't symptom spot but you see so many women experiencing cramps like in the first 24 hours and I can't feel a single thing!

Hope your all ok x

Ahh congratulations @Emz09 really hope all goes well for you!

glad to hear the pregnancies are going well! Not long now! @LucyLoopyLu
how you both finding pregnancy @Natty2 @LucyLoopyLu

Can’t believe I have a 3 month old now 😂😂 currently asleep on my chest for her morning nap (yes a nap at 8.30 lol it’s been a night)!

@Emz09 oooh exciting, good luck!! Let us know how you get on.

I'm 31 weeks on Weds, got my first growth scan next week so hopefully everything will look ok 🤞

@Natty2 glad to hear you're doing ok

@Natty2 thank you! 12 days of tablets then a scan, it says transfer around day 17-21 I believe xx

@Natty2 omg 23 weeks! How quickly has that gone? Hope you're feeling good!

Medicated, just started oestrogen tablets today! X

Morning everyone! How is everybody doing?

Just thought I would update you all, I've started my frozen embryo transfer protocol today!!! Ahhhh!

@Emz09 this is fantastic news ❤️ so pleased for you

@missmoosh thank you 🙏 I actually don't know yet, I'm too happy at the moment u haven't given it a thought. Embryologist said the nurse team will contact me but usually it's a withdrawal bleed and then a period. X

@Emz09 that is amazing news!! Do let us know when you do the FET, how long will you have to wait?

@Natty2 I was absolutely dreading the updated, purely because were unexplained and so far everything has almost gone too well. From our 19 fertilised I was really preparing for a huge drop off but I cannot believe I get to share that 15 made it to day 5 and have been frozen! We are extremely grateful and happy that we get 15 changes on our one round. I know this isn't always the case for everyone 🤍🥹

@Emz09 amazing news! Crossing my fingers you have lots to choose from!

@LucyLoopyLu i had to go to the GP and get prescribed stuff for mine, mine thrombosed and it was the worst pain! I still have a skin tag type thing left from that one! But 2 kiwis (skin on ones) helped me avoid the constipation alongside lactulose from GP. End of pregnancy is basically a game of avoid the constipation 😂

I survived egg collection, I must say I really didn't/don't enjoy the after effects of the sedation. I'm not good when drunk so this made me feel dreadful but all done.

Freeze all cycle, but I'm kind of glad just based on how I feel now! Injections for 7 days to lower oestrogen to hopefully keep OHSS. I had around 36 follicles stimulated in the end so they switch my trigger shot to not be HCG. They collected 24 eggs so now I just pray for the next coming days that some make it to being froze 🤍🫶🏻.

Thanks all for your well wishes and I hope you are all well. Xxx

@missmoosh it's so nice to hear you're doing well.
Thanks for the tip, I'm not sure what else I can do to get rid of the piles - or pile, as it's just one I think. I got it when I was in the thick of OHSS constipation and it keeps flaring back up. Can't seem to get it to heal completely even though I'm not constipated at all any more. I'm going to check if there's anything else I can do with the midwife next week but let me know if you have any ideas! I don't want it to get worse.

@Emz09 hope your EC went ahead and went brilliantly today 💞

@Natty2 yes doing better, she’s starting to find a rough routine for herself! Though I disrupted it today and she was a right grump about it 😂😂 hope everything continues to go well for you and ahh shame about the anterior placenta delaying feeling baby, but you will be able to soon I’m sure ❤️

@LucyLoopyLu not long now for you! Recommend getting on top of the piles asap, I still have one nearly 8 weeks postpartum after another round of prescribed stuff for them and it’s very annoying! But all your symptoms sound totally normal, can confirm newborn sleep deprivation is still better for me at least than the shit sleep I got in the third trimester haha

@Emz09 hope collection went well!

@Natty2 hi, yes I'm 25 weeks now. Everything going ok so far (fingers crossed). Midwife appointment next week, then holiday, then gestational diabetes test. Not looking forward to that!

I'm mainly suffering with piles, indigestion, heartburn etc now. And trouble sleeping / feeling exhausted. I think these are all "normal" though so hopefully everything will still be ok for flying next week.

Still bought absolutely 0 for the baby so we really need to crack on in October.

How are you? How many weeks are you now? X

@Emz09 sounds like it's all going well! Let us know how you get on. Egg collection will be all over before you know it! X

@missmoosh @LucyLoopyLu @Natty2

The app didn't tell me you all responded!
Thanks all for your replies 🤍

So glad everything is going well with your pregnancy @Natty2 and a baby boy! How wonderful and exciting! It's crazy what people say, I've noticed it even now. My manager at work when I said I was worried about second jab stinging, I had the response you wait till you're pregnant....honestly.

So first to cetrotide bled and bruised but all good now and I don't feel the jab, hubby has mastered it! Had my first monitoring scan today and lining is 12.3 which I thought sounded too thick haha and then have 30 follicles responding but some of them are below 10 so I don't think they'll catch up. Around 6 atm in right and 6 on left that are all about 12. So another scan Wednesday and they think egg collection this Friday....13th! Haha xx
