Started new thread as precariously close to 1000 @KatBeCool @starkid @MotherOfShihTzus

Oh @KatBeCool I'm so sorry to read that. I really hope the cyst has gone down/disappeared tomorrow. I hope you get to do another transfer as soon as you're able to - will you continue to use donor eggs? I don't know how you are, are you looking after yourself? You've been through so much, I'm glad that you're still going and I really really hope for you that you get there. It may be a longer journey but it will be so worth it for you. Keeping everything crossed ❤️

@starkid congratulations! Lovely names - glad they're both doing well ❤️ how lovely you can already see a difference with them both!

@KatBeCool so sorry to hear that. It's been such a struggle. Just take each day as it comes and one day it will be that day when it is all worth it. ❤️

@starkid congratulations! That's fantastic news! I am so glad they are doing well.

@cupcakesandglitter how are you?

I had an op yesterday to remove a big cyst on my tube so feeling a bit bruised and tired today. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks earlier in the year then found this cyst so not the greatest year so far! Going back to try for another ivf cycle soon now the cyst is gone. 🤞

@FlapJackered I'm okay thanks, how're you doing? Sorry to hear about the cyst but fingers crossed for your next IVF cycle x

@cupcakesandglitter
I'm doing OK. Not thrilled, you know, considering everything, but I'm not a quitter so no point to get upset quite yet. I'll continue with donor embryos, I have four of them of excellent quality. Three of them were tested, two are euploid, one is a mosaic, highly recommended for transfer. So are you trying for a second?

@FlapJackered sorry to hear about your MC, hope you're doing well now. How soon after this surgery can you do the transfer?

So my cyst got back down to 8.9mm from almost 11mm, but is more round now. I got a diphereline depot injection to basically keep it from growing and will hopefully start the transfer cycle in about two weeks.

@KatBeCool that's great you have some good embryos in the freezer and exciting to be starting the cycle soon. Will keep fingers crossed for you!

The clinic say I can start a cycle next month if I feel up to it, I only have 2 embryos in the freezer though and one good one so I am wondering whether to wait a month just to let my body recover fully - so hard to hold off though when the clinic have given the ok. 😬

@KatBeCool I can't imagine how difficult it must be, but you're doing well and I'm so glad you're not quitting. That's great news about the embryos - sorry I'm not sure what the euploid/mosaic are, are they to do with the quality? Great that they're recommended though. Do they just transfer one at a time? Glad the cyst has gone down - just a couple of weeks to go then!!

@FlapJackered oh that's tough. Would you feel better to just wait an extra month or are you not sure which you'd rather do?

Hi both - How are you getting on?

@cupcakesandglitter ,hi. Well... I am pregnant! 22 weeks now. I still can't believe it. It took 5 years! How have you been?

@KatBeCool massive massive massive congratulations!!! I am so super happy for you. How are you?! How's the pregnancy going? 22 weeks!!! Are you finding out what you're having or keeping it a surprised? I'm over the moon for you. Amazing news! I'm well thank you

@cupcakesandglitter we're having a girl! It wasn't really a surprise since we pgt tested. 10-15 weeks were a bit rough, I was nauseated a lot. But since then it's been very easy and uneventful. I can feel her kick straight into my bladder, doesn't exactly feel good.

Are you thinking of having more kids?

@KatBeCool oh how wonderful. You'll be meeting your daughter in a few months! Oh yes the bladder kicks aren't the most comfortable 😂 I remember feeling like a foot was going to come out!! I've actually had another baby, a little boy. He's now almost 11 months! Had another three miscarriages before he came along, then a rough pregnancy. But he's here. Very tired but very grateful!

Hi! Sadly not doing great, no luck for me and two failed FETs since the MC last year so it's back to egg collection etc again for me now!
So sorry to hear about the MCs but congratulations on your little boy! That's great news.

@cupcakesandglitter congratulations on your little boy! It's crazy how much time has passed since we all met.

@FlapJackered you're doing better than you think you are. You already have your next steps figured out and not just sitting there and sulking. Perseverence pays off.

Thanks @KatBeCool 🤞🤞🤞

@KatBeCool thank you! It's flown hasn't it. Life before even thinking about TTC seems like a distant memory!

@FlapJackered thank you - I'm so sorry you're not doing great. I agree with Kat though it's great you've got a plan, I really really hope you get your BFP soon x

Hey both, how are you getting on? X

@cupcakesandglitter I'm on the finish line, almost 36 weeks. She's turned head down but managed to get her neck into the umbilical cord twice, so there's gonna be lots of ultrasounds. I agreed to csection though regardless. Dr thinks I'm not going to have enough hormonal support for birth activity, plus I have anxiety-related sinus tachycardia. I could have still pushed for natural if she untangles, but I'm getting tired of conditions. So now I'm just hoping nothing will start on its own before it's scheduled.

How have you been?

Hey! Just finished a full cycle and got a bfp today! Early days but such a relief not to see another negative test!
How are you?

@KatBeCool wishing you a safe smooth delivery - not long until she's here now. Both of mine were born with cord wrapped around their neck - no issues, apparently can be quite common. Glad they've picked it up and are monitoring you both. Have you got a date booked in for a section? You've done so well, you're so so close now!!

@FlapJackered huge congratulations!! How are you feeling? I'm okay Thankyou, just plodding along!

@cupcakesandglitter no date yet. I want it to be a June baby but officially my due date is July 8. The Dr is reluctant to go a whole week early, so the next couple of ultrasounds will show if I can have her in June. I'll settle for the 30th 😂.

@cupcakesandglitter feeling fine thanks apart from massively anxious and v tired. Just wish I could fast forward through the first trimester!

@KatBeCool so exciting! You'll be meeting her so soon!

@KatBeCool 😂 that'll be lovely. You might be meeting her this month!! Please keep us updated? Keeping everything crossed for you x

@FlapJackered understandable, I really hope it flies by quickly for you. Will you have any early scans?

@cupcakesandglitter yes just because of the miscarriage I think I may go scan crazy! I will get the clinic scan at 7 weeks then will probably get another one at 9/10 weeks.

omg I got a notification for this thread after a really long time. I just wanted to say a massive congratulations to you all! xx

It must have been an old notification for the thread before & I saw the link into this one. So happy for you @FlapJackered @KatBeCool @cupcakesandglitter.
