I thought I'd start a new thread as the other one is full. Sorry if I've missed anyone out.

@KatBeCool - good luck for tomorrow!! All my fingers crossed this is your cycle xx
Scan went fine, she couldn't see much happening on there bar a few teeny cysts on the left ovary, but waiting for results back soon. 8dpo due Wednesday, did some fertility-boosting yoga positions today, although not sure when's best in the cycle to do this for maximum effect!

More bad news for me... The one giant follicle may or may not have ovulated, it was inconclusive. It didn't rupture, but it is smaller just by 2 mm, the edge is jagged, and has a white ring around it, plus there is liquid behind uterus, all that indicates possible ovulation. Other follicles got larger than before but exhibited no signs of ovulation. So I need a miracle.

Wow, I'm not well-versed in the science of follicles at all, but I have every finger and toe crossed for you!!

@starkid yeah I didn't think there could be such thing as "maybe ovulated". But the specialist pointed out all those things I mentioned and said "If you ask for my honest opinion, I think you ovulated".
I did some internet digging, it's also not entirely uncommon to ovulate twice, which is how they explain getting pregnant while on birth control, or having fraternal twins that are days apart in development in the womb. That is a bit beyond my comprehension as I thought progesterone prevented ovulation.

Haven't seen you all in ages. I got busy and sad after our ivf cycle was cancelled due to Covid. I'm sorry for losing touch.

Just got a BFP after 2 early blastocysts were transferred on Saturday.

I love you all!

@ValidUser that's great! Congratulations! I'm on my journey to start ivf soon as well. I could use a bfp...

@ValidUser - wow congratulations!! :D :D That's such great news

I'm up to the NHS eligibility check part of the IVF journey, but they said there's a backlog even for those appointments so who knows how long the queue will be for my first consultation at the clinic, next year?!

Thanks @starkid and @KatBeCool. The waiting is a bitch!

@ValidUser congratulations! 🎉 that is fantastic news!! X

@flapjackered how are you doing? x

@ValidUser I am good thanks! You must be over the moon! It is so lovely seeing more bfps on this thread x

As I've spent 2 years spamming the place with squinters:

(Squinters real and imagined, might I add)

@ValidUser yayyy I am so chuffed for you :D

Sorry everyone dont actually post on this thread just lurk (am also ttc first baby 1 year on though!) but I was on another thread with validuser so had to post my congrats when I saw her news :D

@Annny27 you used only have 2 n letters? I remember you!

Yes! Dont know why i added the extra n 🙈 @ValidUser

Delighted for you anyway! Gives us long dinosaurs the hope that we need :D

@ValidUser come to the thread and tell the others as I told them you had your bfp and they want to know the details :D

@ValidUser that's one visible line! One thing I learned although it was just a chemical pregnancy for me, you don't need to squint at the results, it's obvious.

I'm just sitting here waiting, need to make sure that the gynecologist will actually do all the tests that the Mexico clinic requires (and there's a lot). If all goes to plan, in 1.5 months (or so) I'll be at the beach hotel jamming needles in my stomach.

@katbecool - your doing the IVF in Mexico? Oh cool!
@ValidUser - yeah those lines couldn't be clearer, another congrats to you :D

I haven't managed to get a postive opk this cycle, so hopefully I did ovulate and dtd at the right times annoying as now I have no clue when to expect AF, urgh

@starkid and @KatBeCool I just got a 2-3 weeks on a digital at exactly 14 days after egg collection! Pleased.

@ValidUser, how many embryos did they put in? Normally digital tests are a bit behind, so you either got super hcg or... more than one baby.

@starkid yep. If I'm going to spend two weeks abroad, while still working, there's better be a beach! I had to get a mammogram today (one of the requirements for the ivf clinic), my poor boobs, it hurts more after than it did during all the squishing.

@KatBeCool 2. Wasn't sure they'd be able to freeze either, so I asked them to pop em both in!

@ValidUser Aha! Telling you... there's likely more than one growing.

@KatBeCool my husband is convinced of it too! I didn't know digitals were a bit behind, that's interesting.
