Awww @DKDK123 don't beat yourself up, we all keep it to ourselves when we shouldn't, least you & your sister can talk now 🤗

@Katao that's so frustrating on the progesterone, I'm hoping they can give you some support. So they think you haven't ovulated? Did they give you a number?

@Juno231 I think that's another twatface offence from your doctors right there 😂🤣damn them I HATE things like that. I've just had a flu jab appointment for October though so October doesn't seem so far away to me now 😂

@Hopeful110 oooo I'm really hoping that's a good one...one itchy nipple & hungry hmmmm, good signs???

I'm sorry for keeping you all in suspense, I've been in turmoil and font know if we've done the tight thing but hey ho.

So my bloods showed good level of estrogen, they were happy with that.and my womb was 7.9mm. A lining has to be over 7mm for a frozen transfer to be booked for the following week (so next weds). I've Never Reached 7mm before. My last transfer even after another week went ahead at 6.8mm at this point (well after 2 more weeks!).

So they asked about the bleeding, apparently the estrogen should stop ALL BLEEDING. They have no idea why. I told them 3 days, and explained my last 3 cycles, the nurse went to ask the consultant & she came back & said we could still go ahead if we wanted too. I said yes. Despite not knowing why or being able to say it wouldn't happen next week after transfer. She then asked again "what time did it stop on Saturday" & to go through my last cycles again". I explained again the same info & said so actually it was like 2.5 days bleeding but yes like a period as mine usually last 3 days.

She went out again & spoke to the consultant & this time came back in and said we had to abandon. And wait for another period. Start again with northisterone on day 21 of THAT period then start again with full down regulation like we did last nov/dec which resulted (due to Xmas in the way then lining issues again) of a transfer of feb 7th. Even though she once again commented my lining has never been this thick they said they wanted to manage the full process & not risk bleeding & maybe "wasting one of our 2 last embryos".
I was gutted. I left in tears. I understand but we are geared up now. We aren't ill now. My lining is good. That was 2.30.

I drove back & as I did I debriefed with DH & said "I don't understand why it went from a yes to a no with the same info??" Neither did he, Also we have to hide & not socialise coz of Covid risks, which are getting higher. For what, def another 2 months?

I asked for the consultant nurse to call & explain.

She asked if I was asking if we could continue & I said I guess maybe.
So she said yes in theory but it would not be their advice.

But each time we come up against hurdles, & so much has to align (lining, embryo quality, implantation anyway) & I hate the medication I just dont want to start that again when there's still a chance we thought we would always wonder "what if?"

So we are doing it 😬
So we are going for it.

Wow what a rollercoaster @Minster2012 I'm glad you're going for it! It's what you both want so I can understand why! X

Ahhhh @Minster2012 I'm so pleased you decided to go for it! Like you said, if you didn't go for it you would always be wondering what if?! That such good news about your womb lining & bloods aswel. If I was in your position I'd want to go for it too👏🏼😍 sooooo this time next wk you would of had your transfer done?! Exciting & nervous times ahead for you. You got this girl💪🏼

So I had a weird call with the dr. I explained I needed the referral to go through me and he said as Dh has the issue he should be referred to urology which he is now, but I don't think I got the fertility clinic referral? I was in such a daze I didn't even ask 😩 so I need to call again tomorrow to see what the hell is happening. Drs do rush you off the phone tho, I barely had a chance to ask a question!

@Minster2012 Ahh so glad you are going for it!! Can imagine you telling that story in the future with a happy ending 🥰

Yay @Minster2012 so glad ur going ahead with ur big juicy lining!!

I will be praying that everything works out for you ❤ i would love nothing more than for u ro get ur bfp (prob be more excited about yours than my own 🤣🤣) xxxx

@Juno231 how frustrating for you! Hope October flies in so you don't feel like you're waiting too long.

Thanks for the advice @Chlo2701 if this cycle fails I'll pick your brains on what to try next.

@Hopeful110 I cant see from the photo but they don't photograph well when faint. I could clearly see mine IRL albeit faint but couldn't for the life of me get a decent photo of it showing the way I see it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Katao you were right about me being one of the random ones that dont show with fmu, absolutely stark white this morn with FR, tested tonight and there's definitely a line there! Its still as faint as yesterday's so im not getting my hopes up until I see progression but at least there's more hope that there was this morn when there was absolutely nothing there.
Sorry to hear about your results but also good they can pin point something so know where to start with fixing it. Have they given you any idea how to proceed forward or do you need to wait for an appointment to discuss it?

@Minster2012 I was reading that holding my breath in anticipation! So happy you've decided to try it, I can understand your worries but I think I'd have made the same choice. And a big hooray for blasting the fluffy womb lining 🥳

Awww thank you lovely ladies!! It's so good to get a bit of reassurance 😬🥰

But we feel at peace, we think we are doing the right thing instead of stressing and stopping and going in with a negative attitude in a couple of months we've had a lovely weekend & want to ride that wave!

Thank you so much @Catherinettc & @Ltay2 I know imagine!!

Yes @Chlo2701 I have a progesterone blood test & Covid year on Monday at 9am so that's next hurdle. Then they take our embryo out on weds morning first thing to thaw so we get a call mid morning to check it's survived the thaw, about 80% survive so that's second hurdle 😳😬🙈then we would transfer about midday next weds then you are meant to act "pregnant unless proven otherwise" & test two weeks later 🙄🤗

@notyetamumbuttrying say what???? Bizarre!!

@lucyrp @notyetamumbuttrying @Franklydear thanks girls, nice to have the support x

@Minster2012 0.2 so that sounds pretty shit but honestly I don't really under the numbers and Google is confusing me! Anyone any insight? She didn't say about ovulation but presumably not. Just that my day 3 progesterone was also low and I'm to follow up with the doctor.

Oh wow @minster2012 well done on the lining!!! Well that is all a bit confusing on thier side but I think this is one of tjose times when you have to go with your gut.

@notyetamumbuttrying oh that's a bit of a side step isn't it, hope you get it sorted.

@DKDK123 aw I'm so glad for you!!! Stick to evening testing and really hope you get a proper strong line soon 😉 ya just have to wait until appointment next week. Will be googling like a maniac of course 🤦‍♀️

@Minster2012 omg yes so glad you've gone for it !🥰🥰

@Chlo2701 aw thank you lovely 🥰 I was conscious of posting yesterday when everyone was on a I hate TTC day haha. Attached a pic from today, hoping I'll see a darker line tomorrow 🥰 where are you upto? TWW or FW? X

@Hopeful110 I feel like I can see something but I also have line eyes from staring at them constantly for a week so 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 x

@Katao oh no 😔 do you know if anything can be done to make it higher? X

@Minster2012 eeeek that's so exciting! I think I'd have done the same as you and gone for it, especially with the womb lining where it needs to be. So excited for you 🥰 x

@DKDK123 yay pleased the line is there again tonight!! X

@Katao omg I just remembered I was speaking to an old friend who had a little boy same time as I had DS and we got onto TTC and she said had j been to the doctors when TTC etc as she'd been told she had low progesterone ans got prescribed the cream and 6 weeks later she was pregnant!

@Minster2012 very bizarre right! I'm glad you feel good about your decision. It's definitely right if you both feel so strongly about it! Gosh and it's so soon too, very exciting!
Thank you @Katao I was properly thrown and didn't really realise until after the call and thought about it more. When can you follow up with the dr?
@KateColx some good line progression there!
Ov day and no sex so far, he even knows it's ov day now and still nothing from him. He really winds me up sometimes!!

Lovely lines @KateColx 🥰
@notyetamumbuttrying uh I know how it is, you get all flustered with the info coming at you and dont have time to think it through, especially when they throw something at you you are not expecting. You will get your say tomorrow 😉

Aw @lucyrp 🥰 that is just what I needed to hear right now, a happy ending story 😘 I think I just need to be patient until the appointment. I really like my doctor, she is a problem solver, I'm sure she will sort me out 🤞

Thanks lovely @Katao! I'm glad you have a good dr, I need to find one and only speak to them.
So got my shag in the end! 😄 got some head in there too, was loving life lol!
Night all x

Ha ha ha!! So nice to check in after a long night! I went for a drink with my friend at the pub (doesn't know) so just checked out & also one of our other friends got engaged tonight so all warm n fuzzy thank you so much ladies 🥰😘❤️for your support it's so immense

@Katao I was told my progesterone on day 19 was less than 1 when it should have been over 30 if I'd have ovulated or even at day 19 then over 20. not ideal i'm afraid, but the first step is knowing, remember that. I'm only saying to stop you googling. It's torture. Big hugs, but there is stuff to be done. Remember that.

@Hopeful110 did you do another tonight??

So this is my life now, shoving 3x progesterone pessary bullets up my foof each night then have it leak out each night slowly. Nice!!! Sexy!! NOT!! Ah well!!

Shove it up!! 3 times!! Yay!!! 🙈😂TTC it ain't sexy

@Minster2012 oh god what a run around! You don't know until you try tbh, so I really hope it works out for you!

@notyetamumbuttrying they do rush you, and it's so confusing! It's awful that you feel like you're wasting their time isn't it, I always try to avoid them but just can't anymore.

@KateColx plz keep posting progression pics I love them! X

@Katao I should add she's got her DS who is 4 and she's just given birth to her second which is the pregnancy she was referring to from the progesterone cream, she's mid 30's early 40's! I'm sure the doctor will sort you out!🥰🥰

@Minster2012 TTC is always sexy what you on about 😜

Also for anyone who remembers here is Luna 4 months old 🥰

OMG @lucyrp look at Luna! She's so cute & ready for work!!

She defo did not want to work🤣 @Minster2012

@lucyrp oh lovely Luna ... she is the cutest, can I go visit her?
@Minster2012 sexy ttc the odd way, I think you made the right decision, I got a lovely doctor now and my treatment is a conversation, we make decisions together, but for many is a case, for me is my life, mate

@Minster2012 thanks for that. Yes I did find 30 was the magic number so it's a far cry from that! I think I'll just let it go for a few days. I wasn't hugely surprised but still a bit gutted to get such a tiny number. Your poor foof!

@Minster2012 I've heard about those pessaries 🙈 so you feeling positive this morning? I always find that the next day is the marker for how you truly feel about decisions.
@Newbie0818 yup, I always feel totally bamboozled afterwards, it's not good! What's latest with you?
@lucyrp aww she's so gorge! Hi Luna!!
@Franklydear I really need to find a good dr don't I! Guessing still no period for you today?
