I'm so excited for you @NicoleR14 ! I really can't wait for you to finally get some good news !! We are good thank you, our boy is now one year old! The time flies, he's still stuck on the boob and a mummy's boy but I just can't let go of the baby phase with it being the last time, only working one day a week so I get to really enjoy it this time round xx

NicoleR14 · 04/02/2022 12:29

@shelly10111 That's went so quick I can't believe he's 1! It's soo good your getting to enjoy it this time around I completely don't blame you for not letting go of the baby stage you want to keep them that size forever lol were having all the eggs they can fertilize frozen so when we are ready to go again I don't need to go through the same again so fingers crossed they've told me they are thinking they will get around 30 or more eggs on egg retrieval so hopefully we get enough fertilized to freeze lol xx

NicoleR14 · 11/02/2022 10:23

Hi ladies thought I'd give a little update, I've been 1 week on menopur and fymadel got a scan this morning and my follicles are growing really well all 37 of them I couldn't believe it! We are nearly there another scan and bloods on Monday and fingers crossed next week we get our eggs collected ☺️!

Sungirl11 · 12/02/2022 13:06

@NicoleR14 great news!! You are doing really well!
With that many follicles please take care of yourself as OHSS can be hard! Drink loads and lots of rest.
Let us know how EC goes next week! Exciting times 🥰

NicoleR14 · 12/02/2022 21:26

@Sungirl11 thank you Hun I am really taking care of myself as much as I can and drinking plenty I am terrified of OHSS, I'm hoping ec goes well 🤞🏼how are you getting on? Xx

NicoleR14 · 15/02/2022 13:17

Hi ladies just a wee update I get my trigger injection at 8:30pm! My eggs are all ready to go and they are getting removed on Thursday! So excited I honestly can't wait these injections has had me in so much pain one of my ovaries had swollen so bad it put pressure on my bladder and all I've done for 4 days and is pee! I'll give another update on Friday when we get confirmation on how many embryos have been created 😁😁

Sungirl11 · 17/02/2022 13:11

@NicoleR14 hope EC went well and you feel as good as possible!!
Take care of yourself! And fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

Binxy040 · 17/02/2022 13:29

Hi there. This is my first post. I have had 4 faint positive pregnancy tests using FRER and I'm not sure when to be excited. I did a Clear blue digital and that came back as not pregnant. I'm 2 days late on my period.

NicoleR14 · 17/02/2022 18:55

@Sungirl11 EC went great they got 24 eggs and tomorrow they will call with how many fertilized so very exciting times I was sent home with more injections that I need to take for 10 days to help the blood circulation and to prevent clots and after my next normal period we will get one put back in fingers crossed 🤞🏼 we have over a 50% chance of the procedure working if we wait as right now my body isn't doing too great! Thank you for asking Hun ❤️

Sungirl11 · 17/02/2022 19:55

@NicoleR14 that is fab news!! At your age sure you will have lovely eggs and will get amazing embryos!
Were you sent with Clexane? I was given that after birth for 10 days for the same reason!
Now give your body a break as 24 eggs is a lot! And in no time sure you will be giving us great news!!! Time flies ❤️❤️

NicoleR14 · 18/02/2022 14:18

@Sungirl11 I got inhixa injections for clots they are quiet big and extremely sore lol we got an update this morning 21 of my eggs were very mature and they were fertilised only 11 made it and they are growing really well we will get another update on Monday to see how many have made it over the weekend and they will be frozen on Tuesday/Wednesday! Yesterday all the nurses were praising how well my body had done they were in shock they have only had one other lady in the clinic who had 30 eggs and she was 26 so they were a bit surprised at me but I was in so much pain with the trigger injection and they explained because so much was going on inside my body that the pain was normal, I feel fine today bit uncomfortable but nothing serious so recovering well hopefully in a couple of months I'll be on here with my positive test with one of my 11 babies cooking 😂❤️ xx

Sungirl11 · 24/02/2022 10:55

@NicoleR14 how are you? How many embryos developed? X

NicoleR14 · 24/02/2022 11:14

Hi @Sungirl11 I'm doing really good withdraw bleed started yesterday so that's all good signs embryology called yesterday they managed to freeze 6 embryos 4 are grade A one is grade C and the last wee one started already hatching before it was frozen they said it can go either way for that wee one but so far so good we've been told we have a really good chance at a grade A embryo implanting so fingers crossed in the next 7 weeks we get our transfer 🤞🏼 how are you doing how's being a mummy 🥰xx

Sungirl11 · 24/02/2022 11:29

@NicoleR14 that is great news!!
My baby is a grade A, only transferred this one. So odds are on your favour!
I'm ok! Tired.. she is one month already and just wants to be held... so can't do anything and it's also tiring as she is heavy to be carried aaaaaall day. She also won't let us sit.. she wants to be swinged around haha
But we love her to bits! She is so beautiful and happy 🥰

@NicoleR14 @Sungirl11 @dizzy85 @ArjaD

Hi girls! I have just spent the past few days reading through all 4 of your threads and feel like I have now been following all your journeys for the past few years and waiting to get the end to see how it all ended up for you all. I am currently on cycle 3 of ttc our 1st so stumbled across your thread online when doing some searching.

It was so amazing to see how it turned out for Sungirl11 and I have found you on tiktok to have a look through at your journey and so amazing to have that gift from your mum!

Congratulations Dizzy85 and also finding out it is a little girl!

NicoleR14 I am going to keep an eye on this thread (another reason I am posting is to get notifications hopefully of other people posting) so I can see when you finally get your positive from the IVF...it will be very deserved!

ArjaD It must have been a really hard decision to make to decide to stop trying but your wee little boy is so adorable and a great decision to concentrate and all your energy on him! One lucky boy!

Just goes to show never to give up when you really want something!

Smile
NicoleR14 · 24/03/2022 19:50

Hi @Shaker21 welcome to our thread! And good luck with ttc#1 we've all had a hard time with ttc but we've all been going through it together and helping as much as we can but we're getting there 😂, we tried for 2 years before we finally got checked by a fertility clinic in Glasgow and now we are going through our ICSI treatment we have 6 perfect wee embabies and currently waiting until the 11th of April to get out frozen embryo transfer call to arrange getting our baby put back in we are really excited but it does feel like a long 3 and a half years of trying so waiting that little bit longer for the transfer is killing us lol how are you getting on with ttc? If you have any questions feel free to ask I know all of the girls on here are more than happy to help I wouldn't have been able to do this without their help and support 😊❤️

Shaker21 · 24/03/2022 20:13

Thanks @NicoleR14 Smile it must feel amazing to be so close to having the embryo transfer done...I can imagine the tww after that being even worse than any other so will happily try and be a distraction on here if you need! It's amazing how all you girls have been talking for the past few years and being there through it! Out of the 6 embabies do you know how many are able to be transfered? Is it just one? You must be so excited!

I got married November last year so we decided we wanted to start trying straight after so I stopped the pill after honeymoon and had my first proper cycle ovulating beginning of February so currently just starting cycle 3 with no luck yet which is fine as wasn't expecting it to happen that quickly...I have been taking conceive plus and my cycles seem to be at the moment good 28 day cycles...fingers crossed they stay that way. I am a bigger girl so also very anxious that my weight could affect stuff but just waiting to see at the moment and eating healthier. Grin

NicoleR14 · 24/03/2022 21:04

@Shaker21 it does feel amazing to be so close to having what we've wanted, we are having 1 embryo transfer because apparently I am too fertile that's how we've had to have a frozen transfer they are too frightened of a multiple pregnancy because I'm also a bigger girl 🙋🏼‍♀️ I went from 18stone to 14stone in under a year which was needed so I could be the BMI the clinic needed me to be but when I had my scans to check my ovaries I was 17stone and was told everything was very healthy even for my weight lots of people and professionals blame the weight for being the reason it takes so long to conceive but I have met people twice my size and have had multiple babies so I think it's bs in my own way but it varies from person to person, it's brilliant you have a regular 28 cycle mines is between 30-34 days and it is so hard to pin point ovulation unless I use ovulation sticks lol congratulations on getting married! Silly question to ask but how old are you? 😊

Shaker21 · 24/03/2022 21:33

@NicoleR14 yeah I also think it completely depends on individual people when it comes to weight. I also know people who are bigger that have had healthy pregnancies and healthy babies so it is definitely possible 🤞 you have done amazing to lose that amount of weight! It is never easy but when you have a reason to do it then you have to do it! It is nice to hear that you was super fertile when you was bigger and that everything was healthy. I feel like everything is OK but guess you never know. I am also currently doing ovulation tests and temping but haven't noticed too much CM around ovulation time last couple of cycles so trying preseed this month too. I am 30 and my husband is 33. How about you and your OH?

Borolass84 · 06/04/2022 01:47

Sorry I’ve been quiet for a while. Busy with one thing and another then started working night shifts. Had my telephone consultation yesterday. Blood came back on low side so I will be starting a course of clomid next month. Has anyone had success with this medication please?

Borolass84 · 06/04/2022 01:49

Sorry for your loss sungirl x

NicoleR14 · 26/04/2022 21:23

Hi ladies! Just wanted to give a wee update our 6 embabies were frozen on 22/02/22, we had our wee chat with the embryology department on 11/04/22 and they had said on my next day 1 we could go ahead with out transfer! Sooo today I have started day 1 the clinic will give us a wee call within the next few days to set up some appointments and get us ready for our embryo transfer!! I'm so excited I thought I was going to cry when I got my period earlier 😂!

ArjaD · 27/04/2022 08:34

Hi all, so sorry I'm late to the party again, life has been hectic! Nothing new for me baby wise of course, just been focusing on my wee dude who is going to school in August, omg I am dreading it! Look at his wee face!!

@Shaker21 thank you so much for the kind words, we feel the pain every day but at the same time putting all effort into our boy really makes us happy ❤️
I hope you will be lucky soon, my hubby and I were 33 and 36 when we conceived out boy so we were later to the game than you - no worried there!
@NicoleR14 good Lucky my dear! We still need to get that wee coffee but I get that you have other priorities ATM 😜 fingers crossed!
@dizzy85 @Sungirl11 how are you getting on, I hope all is going well for you ❤️

Shaker21 · 28/04/2022 08:22

Morning girls :)

@NicoleR14 I was wondering the other day how you was getting on with your embabies and the transfer! How excited you must be!! Eeeeekkkk!!! You are so so close now. Keep us updated how you get on and when your appointment gets scheduled for!

@ArjaD Thanks...I do feel like our ages are on our side, we still haven't had any luck as of yet, we are currently waiting for our peak ovulation for cycle 4 and currently on cycle day 15 so should be any time now...fingers crossed. It is very hard even this early in to not start thinking why it isn't happening but trying to stay relaxed and positive. 😀Is nice that you are able to concentrate on your little boy and must seem very scary that he is starting school in September!

dizzy85 · 28/04/2022 09:49

Morning everyone,

Sorry I have been reading the thread on and off and meaning to write on here but life has been so hectic, I am finally on maternity leave now and have 5 weeks left until due date!! It still hasn't quite sunk in even after all this time to get here but I can't wait to meet her 💖

@NicoleR14 awww I'm so excited for you I can't wait to see you get your bfp I don't think it's going to be long now ☺️ how are you feeling?

@ArjaD oh wow that's mad your little one is going to school this year bless him..how quick does the time go! All Is going well so far, just getting things organised in the house and trying to get my head in gear for the birth arrrrrgh lol🤪 hope your all good!

@Shaker21 hi 👋 wishing you lots of luck on your baby journey☺️ one tip I can think of is try not to get too overly obsessed with it all, I know that is far easier said than done but I always found that each month I was constantly tracking and testing etc it never happened and the months I was relaxed and just sort of gave up on it all and distracted myself are the times I fell pregnant. Oh and I took pregnacare conception vitamins his and hers which I would recommend 🤞

@Borolass84 wishing you lots of luck too🤞😊 I don't have any experience with taking them tablets, what was it that was low in your blood test? Hopefully the drs are being helpful with you.

@Sungirl11 hope life is going well being a mummy😊

@shelly10111 hope your and your little boy are doing well ☺️
