TTC for ten months, and the rest. Ten plussers welcome.

A friendly and welcoming thread full of lovely women.

That's good news Trixie.
I'm terrified that none of ours will thaw successfully :(. Xx

I'm sure they will Sammy, I think the chances of problems are really low as they only thaw high quality embryos.

I am officially PUPO! My bladder wasn't full enough at first despite really needing the loo so had to wait ten mins and drink more water. Dr said it was a good transfer and had another blood test afterwards to check my progesterone levels.

PUPO!! Hooray! So how long do you have to wait before testing?
My clinic haven't said anything about a full bladder, I wonder if they'll tell me that at my next scan. I'm 3 days in to the pills and no side effects yet, 3rd injection later tonight. Transfer seems so far away at the moment. Xx

Yay congrats on being pupo trixie so exciting!! Not long for you now Sammy.

I started stimms last night. Have my scans booked in for Friday and Monday and then probably off to Czech on the Wednesday. It's funny how we've all managed to time our treatment roughly around the same time.

Just popping in to wish all 3 of you so much luck, have everything crossed for you all xx

Thanks Pikz!

Yes it is strange, especially as I didn't plan to be cycling now, and neither did you! Xx

Everything crossed for you :)

Thank you :)
How are you doing today Trixie? Is it feeling real yet?
What drugs are you on this side of transfer, just cyclogest?

I just watched a video on Facebook that a couple have made about their IVF journey, from being referred to getting OHSS, to the scariest wee she ever had to their bfp! It made me cry, but also I think if it works for us then I'd do something similar so anyone else struggling could know they could talk to me. X

Anyone out there? Xx

Hello, back from a few days away. Was lovely and sunny and managed to keep my mind off things most of the time....I had a call on Tuesday morning to say that my progesterone levels still weren't high enough so had to double the dose of my injections. Had another blood test this morning and my levels have shot up, yay!

I'm 4dp5dt and feeling pretty calm (for now!) I had quite bad cramping in the days after transfer last time and although I have had some cramping this time it has been pretty mild- could just be the affect of the added progesterone though....

I am still taking my prognova Sammy and also cyclogest, prednisolone and clexane as well as injections of lubion for my progesterone.

OTD is Wednesday if I want to go in for a blood test or Friday if I want to test at home. I was planning to take Friday off and test at home (couldn't handle going to work if it's a BFN and if it's a BFP I'll be too excited!) but I only have enough lubion to last me until Wednesday and don't want to fork out for more to last me until Friday if it's a BFN so guess I will take Wednesday off instead and go in for the blood test- eek!

How are things going with your cycles?

Hi Pikz

So is that technically 9dpo?! Eek!
Wednesday is so close, keeping everything crossed for you.
So glad u had a lovely time away.

I'm on day 7 of prognova and injections, going fine so far. I have a scan on Monday and I'm worried they're going to say something is wrong and we can't go ahead. It's only because of what happened last time, it's got me terrified! I'll be ok though, trying to stay distracted. Xx

Thanks Sammy! Technically 11dpo now!! Somehow I have managed to remain fairly calm and have resisted the urge to POAS. Was a little bit tempted today but I tested early last time and then spent the last few days of the 2ww moping...will hold out until Wednesday. I have zero symptoms but guess it is early.

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Sammy, try not to worry, a FET is so much easier.

Lucie, did you have a scan on Friday? Hope your cycle is going well.

I can imagine. I was thinking about it earlier, and I think I am going to be terrified to test, so really don't think I will test early.
Lots and lots of luck to you! X

Hello trixie, lucie and Sammy - I hope it's ok to pop on and say I think of you all often and often wonder how you are getting on. I am keeping everything crossed for you all xxx

Trixie you are so strong! I would have caved.

Have everything crossed for all of you.

Hi Genni!!!! So lovely to hear from you, you must have your baby by now.

I don't know about strong Pikz, I'm scared! Part of me wants to stay in blissful ignorance.

How did you get on today Sammy? Lucie how is your cycle going?

Hi Genni and Pikz!

Genni - course it's ok for you to pop in :)

Trixie - scan was ok, linings at 5.3 and they want it at 7.0 do have another scan Wednesday. If it's right by then transfer will be Tuesday, and if not then they'll increase my estrogen pilks and rescan on Friday, and transfer would be more likely Thursday next week. How are you feeling? Xx

Hi there, wow trixie not long to go now! Praying for good news for you on Wednesday.

How did your scan go today Sammy?

I've had both of my scans now, not great really but we struggled through last time so just hoping we can do it again. There were only 7 follicles, 3 of which are probably too small so we are going ahead hoping to collect 4. I was really hoping to have another cycle like my first and collect 7 or 8 and have them all fertilise again but it's not to be. I'm ok about it though as I went to the scan today thinking we would have to cancel as normally some follicles have disappeared by my second scan but luckily that didn't happen this time. I've got my flight booked to Czech on Thursday and collection is on Friday.

Genni, so lovely to see you, I often think about you as well and have popped my head into the ante natal thread once or twice just to see you are doing ok.

Hi to pikz too thank you for checking in on us and big congrats for your bfp.

Glad it's all going ahead Lucie :), fx all four are fab!
I updated on my scan just below Xx

You got a BFP Pikz, that is amazing news, congratulations!

Ooh, busy week on here! Not too long until you're PUPO too Sammy.

Crossing my fingers for 4 + eggs for you on Friday Lucie.

I'm ok. Starting to feel a little bit anxious about Wednesday. Still no symptoms but then I am so pumped full of progesterone I guess any symptoms would be down to that.

Are you having a blood test trixie or testing at home?

Going in for a blood test. OTD to test at home is Friday and run out of progesterone injections on Wednesday so will have to go in - Eek!

Good luck I really hope this is it for you!

Trixie I have everything crossed

Sammy can't believe only a week to go

Lucie crossing everything for those eggs

Yes I got my bfp on cycle 23, 8 months post all my surgery. Complete surprise. Now 11 weeks so crossing everything for the scan.

And hi Genni! X
