TTC for 18+ months and feeling low!

I'm sorry @LucyLoopyLu that's devastating. When was the transfer day? Do they have a plan of action to do anything differently, if you want to try again?

Thanks @Emz09

It didn't go well on day 5 unfortunately. Low quality embryos and nothing to freeze. They transferred the best 2 but the quality was very poor so we have slim to no chance this time. Day 6 update on the remaining ones was still nothing to freeze. So we went from 8 good embryos on day 3 to a very poor day 5/6.

I'm pretty gutted and so is my husband. Need to think about next steps now.
I've been back at work as well and I just can't be arsed with it, I don't think the progesterone is helping - I was alright yesterday but emotional today.

I feel like my life is on hold and I'm sick of it.

@LucyLoopyLu I hope your transfer went as planned, I have been thinking of you x

Thanks all 💓

@missmoosh no, nothing planned except for work! I'm going to prioritise de stressing, gentle walks and not let anything into my chilled energy forcefield. We'll see how well that goes!

@LucyLoopyLu you've got this! Great update for day 3, they'll keep going till Monday I am sure of it! Will be thinking of you, best wishes xxx

@LucyLoopyLu eeek hope they all continue to grow well! Not long now! Gonna be a long tww for you, have you got anything nice planned?

@Natty2 @missmoosh @Emz09 thanks ladies. Had the day 3 update this morning and all 9 are developing although 1 is a bit slow, but still got 8 at a good grade at the moment. Fingers crossed for blasts on Monday. I'm booked in for transfer Monday morning so just need to keep calm before then.

Hope you're all doing well?

@LucyLoopyLu ahh this is amazing news! Fingers crossed you will be doing a transfer before you know it!

@LucyLoopyLu that is fantastic news! Really pleased and relieved for you. 9 is brilliant, keeping everything crossed for you in the coming days xxx

@missmoosh @Foreverhopeful92 @Emz09 @Natty2
Hi, thanks for the good wishes. EC went well yesterday, they did manage to get to both ovaries in the end so the worry was for nothing.

They managed to get 14 eggs and the update this morning was that 12 were mature and 9 fertilised. They had to do ICSI (due to the sperm being in clumps which I'd never heard of before) which we weren't expecting, although luckily they get you to sign all the consent forms etc in advance just in case. Next update Saturday morning so just hoping and hoping they do well.

@missmoosh - glad your new meds are working and you're feeling and being less sick. Fingers crossed it will continue and you can recover and enjoy your food again!

@LucyLoopyLu sorry to hear about your scan, I hope that everything will go well today. Keep positive. It will be ok 🤍 xxx

Lovely to hear all your updates!!

@missmoosh hope you’re doing better and the meds start working for you! How are you feeling otherwise?

@LucyLoopyLu wishing you all the best for collection! Sorry to hear you were disappointed - I hope they can give you some answers if they are unable to access your other ovary. Thinking of you today!

@Natty2 Congratulations on your latest news! Sounds like a complete turn around from last time - what great results! I hope all goes well in the next stages as you prepare for transfer! But sounds like you have some amazing grade frosties 🥰

@Natty2 oh wow!!! What fantastic news I am so happy for you! So glad this round has worked out so much better! Now just to wait for the OHSS risk to subside! Do let us know when you are heading for transfer ❤️

@LucyLoopyLu I'm sorry that you haven't got the results you hoped for from first scan, hoping they can access the ovary and its just a worst case scenario preparation for you. Hoping collection goes okay for you today, let us know and remember it only takes one ❤️

In relation to my sickness the new meds they have put me on have helped a lot, only been sick once since being on them! But you can't take them until trimester 2, which is why I have had to wait so long and then totally forgot they were an option! On a lot of different meds trying to get all my other levels stable, but as long as little one is getting what they need that's all that matters to me!

@missmoosh so sorry you've been so unwell. It must make you feel absolutely rotten. Hope you're ok.

I'm ok thanks. I was disappointed with my scan yesterday. I only had 5 follicles on each side and my left ovary is in the wrong place and they might not be able to access it. Now worried how many eggs we will get and whether we will end up with any embryos to transfer. We're unexplained so I'm worried about quality anyway, and now worried about quantity as well. Did the trigger last night and EC tomorrow morning so just have to hope for the best. I was a bit upset and worried yesterday but just put it out of my mind today and ready for EC to be over.

@Natty2 that's brilliant news! Hopefully a weight off your mind while you recover and get ready for transfer. Plenty of frosties!

@Natty2 oh my goodness! What amazing news, really chuffed for you. Absolutely brilliant.

Hopefully it won't be too long until you can trasnfer xxx

@Natty2 did you get an update yesterday?
@LucyLoopyLu hope you are still doing well with it all. You also had a scan yesterday? Hope it went well!

@Natty2 thats such an amazing difference from your last collection! I hope the numbers stay up for you! I'm sorry to hear it's another freeze all, I guess safety is best. Hopefully the side effects don't last too long and you start to feel better!

@LucyLoopyLu ahh great news you are already started and the injections aren't as bad as you thought! Really hope you get a good result!

Do keep us updated, am really routing for you both!

I'm doing alright, 22+6 today, but been in hospital twice this week. Both issues caused by hyperemesis! Very scary but just have to remind myself it's all worth it, can feel her kick now so it's a bit easier to deal with it all, didn't think I would still be throwing up at this stage though 🙈 it's nothing compared to what you are both going through. Here is hoping we all get to the finish line in one piece!

@Natty2 15 is great news so far, at least gives you a good number to hopefully progress and freeze. Really hope you feel better soon. What is the medication they've given you? Sounds like you need to put your feet up this weekend.
Third bleed is a while away, but hopefully you will have your lucky embryo banked and the wait will be worth it. Will you do a medicated cycle or do you need to find all that out yet?

Any tips for the EC? Heat pad is a good shout, I don't have one but a hot water bottle will do.

@missmoosh thanks for checking in, yes today is day 5 of stims. The injections haven't been too bad so far and I also had more bloods done at the same time as my baseline scan and that went well too, so I feel a bit less apprehensive. My husband has been brilliant doing the injections for me and being really kind and careful.

I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable today now we've added in the Cetrotide. Tummy very swollen and tender. All my clothes are pressing on it, even my joggers! Next scan is Monday - hoping the follicles will be ready by then!

How are you?
