@Yutes wishing you luck - when will you know? Waiting is the absolute worst!!

@Motherofkittens28 that's exactly the attitude, as difficult as it is, you can't do anything to help what's going on in the clinic right now, I really hope you get good news!

@crazycatlady1981 I hope they don't go back on what they say, I really will have the wind taken out of me if we don't get started this cycle, even if we do it's probably July before ET, that seems like a lifetime away as it is - if we even get that far, so many hurdles between now and then as we all know!

polejunkie · 21/05/2021 12:12

@crazycatlady1981 got my schedule through! I'm on Nafarelin nasal spray 800mcg, then Ovaleap 375iu, then Ovitrelle. The drug company will be in touch soon for delivery, injections will start 17 June and got my 3 scan dates too - feeling better now!

crazycatlady1981 · 21/05/2021 12:16

@polejunkie woohoo! 🎉 That’s a relief! It’s so good when that schedule finally comes through!! 😬

Motherofkittens28 · 21/05/2021 12:57

I've had the call and it's not good news. One egg didn't survive the icsi process and the other hasn't fertilised. Game over

Yutes · 21/05/2021 13:10

So So sorry @Motherofkittens28

polejunkie · 21/05/2021 13:15

@Motherofkittens28 I'm really sorry, absolutely devastating - is your DP home? Please be kind to yourself, this process is grueling x

Marvellouslymadmum · 21/05/2021 13:24

@polejunkie that's great news about your schedule, I bet that's a big relief!

@Motherofkittens28 oh I'm so so sorry, sitting here on the bus in tears for you 😢 will you try again do you think or go straight to your frozen eggs? I do hope your partner is there now for lots of hugs and comfort, this isn't the end of the road just a pothole in the road 💞

Motherofkittens28 · 21/05/2021 13:26

Thanks @Yutes, @polejunkie, @Marvellouslymadmum. No, I'm on my own OH I'd at work. Just lying in my bed crying my eyes out

Motherofkittens28 · 21/05/2021 13:27

@Marvellouslymadmum straight to frozen eggs now, but not until after the wedding. I wish I had the wedding to look forward to to get me through but what with covid it all feels too up in the air to get excited.

Annny27 · 21/05/2021 13:34

I am so sorry @motherofkittens28 that's devastating xxxx

I am so glad you froze those eggs years ago and will be hoping and praying that they work for you ❤❤

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/05/2021 13:54

@Motherofkittens28 I'm truly devastated for you, I'm so so sorry! But I'm also so thankful that you have frozen eggs ready to go when the time is right. Try not to think too far ahead right now and take each day as it comes ❤️❤️ I know that's easier said than done of course x

@Motherofkittens28 I am so sorry, I have no words 😔 It is shit, so so shit!! I hope you are ok (ok as can be), please look after yourself! We are all here for you if you need us x

crazycatlady1981 · 21/05/2021 14:42

Oh that is devastating @Motherofkittens28 I’m so so sorry. I wish we could all be with you right now to give you a massive hug 💕There’s still plenty of hope with your frozen eggs. Take some time out and look after yourself x

kerrym87 · 21/05/2021 14:53

@Motherofkittens28 I'm so sorry. Can they defrost an egg or two this cycle? X

Theawkwardblonde · 21/05/2021 14:58

@Motherofkittens28 sorry to read this. Hope you're okay. Look after yourself this weekend. Hoping you can use some of your frozen eggs.

Motherofkittens28 · 21/05/2021 15:01

@kerrym87 no, there wouldn't be enough time, plus frozen embryo transfers are often more successful as you don't have so many drugs in your system, using my eggs would be similar to a frozen embryo transfer so I'd rather do that. Plus I don't think I have faith in this clinic now and had already decided to go elsewhere next time

Crazydoglady123 · 21/05/2021 15:05

@Motherofkittens28 I'm absolutely devastated for you! This is so unfair after everything you've been through already 💔 Look after yourself first and foremost. We're all here for you

Motherofkittens28 · 21/05/2021 21:32

Thank you for all the kind words ladies, I really appreciate it. I've just filled out our patient registration form for the new clinic in London which has really good success rates. Apparently its a four week wait for an initial consultation so I'm just going to try and forget about it all until that comes around. I've spent the whole day in bed feeling sorry for myself and have broken my diet with pizza and ice cream! Back on the wagon tomorrow and hitting the gym hard before my first dress fitting in 3 weeks!

Crazydoglady123 · 21/05/2021 22:38

@Motherofkittens28 don't beat yourself up about comfort food, you deserve it! Fingers crossed these guys can do a better job for you 🤞 Try and focus on your wedding now. It's such a big day in your life to enjoy ❤️ And we all can't wait to see your dress 😍

Marvellouslymadmum · 21/05/2021 23:01

@Motherofkittens28 so sorry I didn't reply earlier I got off the bus and picked my car up and had to drive 😞 I do hope you're feeling better now, glad you had pizza and ice cream and focusing on the gym and wedding will definitely give you something to do! I definitely can't wait to see your dress 😍

polejunkie · 22/05/2021 06:10

@Motherofkittens28 it’s a new day today - I hope you managed some rest? Great plan you have, sounds like your focused on the right things. Enjoy the lead up to your wedding - it’s a big day and you deserve all the happiness 💐

So sorry to hear the devastating news @Motherofkittens28 there really are no words. I wish you all the best with the new clinic and the frozen eggs and the wedding of course! Hoping to see some photos of beautiful hair and dress when the time comes Smile

@Annny27 I've also been thinking this about the Endo & Lap - I joined the group @notyetamumbuttrying recommended and it appears that plenty of women still get pregnant despite Endo and as far as I'm aware I've never been pregnant as I've never had a BFP! So even if they do go in and find Endo next week I really don't know how much of a difference it would make if any. Though something I have noticed is I always get a massive temp dip 7dpo so I wonder if the eggs are fertilising but not implanting as my progesterone levels aren't high enough (less than 30) to sustain a pregnancy but wouldn't I still get a BFP if that were the case?

Motherofkittens28 · 22/05/2021 15:00

@MIW01 the clinic I am moving to do a full cycle of monitoring before starting treatment so they can check hormone levels throughout to identify any problems. I'm wishing I had gone there to start with as I think the monitoring is so important and my crappy clinic doesn't monitor you at all over and above scans

Marvellouslymadmum · 22/05/2021 15:40

@MIW01 I don't think you would get a bfp if the pregnancy doesn't implant, may be worth talking to your gp about progesterone and see what they say?

@Motherofkittens28 that's sounds great about the new clinic! Hope you're feeling better today
