@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed for tomorrow. It's good you can get a transfer on a Sunday! I didn't know clinics did that.

AF came earlier so I'm out this month. I've managed to get a scan booked in at a private doctor so I can keep taking the letrozole I got from another fertility clinic which I'm not with anymore from tomorrow with the aim to pull my ovulation forward. I ovulate on day Cd17 then I keep getting positive tests on 11dpo, then my period comes the same day or next. I'm also going to speak to my GP about it as it's the 3rd time it's happened and I've only tested about 6 cycles.

@thislittlebird glad you got a bit of sleep in. It sucks when AF turns up. It gets me every time. I don't know how anyone does it without being upset!

Crazydoglady123 · 05/06/2021 18:20

@Narwhal88 you're back 😍 I've been wondering how you are so much and been so worried! Thank you. A couple of IVF friends whose cycles were close to my dates had some really heartbreaking stuff happen to them and it's really upset me but also makes me realise how grateful and lucky we are. And yep don't knock a lower grade embryo! That's amazing news you've started your FET! End of the month will be here in no time! Have you clinic changed anything this time for you? I totally understand how much it must have affected you. After transfer you feel so attached to those litter embryos. I had to keep telling myself the average person it takes three cycles but I knew if it hadn't worked how crushed I'd have felt. We're all here for you as much or as little as you need and will be rooting for you the whole way through this ❤️

@CycleGirl20 sorry you're tests are being super confusing!

crazycatlady1981 · 05/06/2021 18:26

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m doing ok! I’ve mastered the buserelin injections now so I can happily do them on my own! Good luck for your transfer tomorrow! Will be thinking of you and sending lots of baby dust!

@thislittlebird @CycleGirl20 sorry that af has arrived for you both! ☹️

@Narwhal88 lovely to hear from you and totally understand the need for a break from here! Wishing you lots of luck with your FET! Keep us updated if you feel happy to! I’ll be having my EC around a similar time to your transfer if all goes well, but I’m taking it one step at a time and trying not to get excited yet.

CycleGirl20 · 05/06/2021 18:29

It sounds like a few of you have transfers in the next few months. Fingers and toes crossed for you all! Who'd have thought TTC would be so difficult & totally draining 😅😩

CycleGirl20 · 05/06/2021 18:53

Weeks, not months 😅. I didn't sleep very well because I was trying to hold my wee in to poas and now I can't type!

Narwhal88 · 05/06/2021 21:00

@Crazydoglady123 thank you so much, it's lovely knowing people are rooting for me. I'm really pleased for you, it's nice hearing good news and that IVF can work! Feels like those 2 lines are impossible to get sometimes, so much can go wrong I often wonder how on earth these fertile donkeys can just decide to have a baby and boom there it is! When are you due? Must be around feb?

@crazycatlady1981 I didn't realise you had started IVF, I hope it's going well so far? I take it you are down regging at the moment? Let's hope end of June brings us good things!

Crazydoglady123 · 05/06/2021 21:12

@Narwhal88 I really hope this time you get the illusive two lines! After so long of chasing them it still doesn't feel real to me and the worry doesn't go away. As it's twins I'm actually due on the 4th Jan...8 days after my DS 10th birthday (Dec/Jan is going to be a very expensive month for us 😬) It's also really scary knowing it's only like 7 months to go 😱
Did you have your progesterone levels checked on ET last time? I'm not sure how much of a difference it made but I pushed to have mine checked and it dropped a lot so I was given progesterone injections too. Also, we used embryo glue. Not sure if either of those contributed to it working but I definitely think everyone having IVF should get their progesterone levels checked

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/06/2021 23:19

@Theawkwardblonde glad everything is going well for you, not long until your scan 🤞🏻 everything is perfect for you

@thislittlebird that b6 sounds awfully confusing! Hope you're feeling a bit better now I hate af and always have a sulk when she shows up even when I expect her too!

@Narwhal88 good luck with the fet and great that you've been referred about the endo too, my gynae appt is august 23rd so I'm just waiting for that one now!

@notyetamumbuttrying wishing you so much luck for tomorrow! Everything crossed for lots of healthy eggies!

I think I finally ovulated!! 🤞🏻 I got a dye stealer positive opk yesterday - highest strip I've ever had! Temp went up a little today and they're almost into normal range now so as long as they keep going up abs staying above the cover line I'm finally in the tww on cd28 🤦🏼‍♀️ we even managed to dtd again yesterday too so hoping it's all covered

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/06/2021 23:59

@Narwhal88 hey nice to see you back! Glad the break helped 😊
I'm glad you have dates for your FET and laparoscopy. Wishing you all the luck in the world!!
@CycleGirl20 I was surprised too considering it's nhs, but it's 7 days a week! Sorry you're out but great you have a scan booked in! Good idea to speak to the gp about the cps!
@crazycatlady1981 good stuff! I didn't mind them at all. Struggled with the menopur at times tho. Aww thank you 😊
@Marvellouslymadmum thank you ☺️ and yay to confirmed ovulation and being covered! 👏🏾 🙏🏾

Amazing news about the dye stealer @Marvellouslymadmum! Everything crossed for you!

Good luck today @notyetamumbuttrying!

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/06/2021 10:11

@notyetamumbuttrying @Crazydoglady123 looks like it was false start no 3 😫 temp went down again today instead of up cd30 today and still totally confused!

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/06/2021 10:15

@Crazydoglady123 thank you 😊
@Marvellouslymadmum omg how irritating!! Sorry mate.

Annny27 · 06/06/2021 10:26

Best of luck @notyetamumbuttrying ❤❤❤

@narwhal88 lovely to hear from you! I can understand your cautiousness and not wanting to get excited about the Frozen cycle. Although I have heard some women get better results with frozen because their bodies are rested :)

No date for my lap yet! Will be a few months more waiting I reckon!

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/06/2021 10:29

@notyetamumbuttrying part of me just wants to write this month off, part of me thinks carry on tracking it will happen eventually but we are majorly struggling on the dtd front now because oh is in pain so I think even if I do now ovulate we will probably miss it! Adding the chart from one of my apps Incase anyone can make sense of it, this app thinks I've ov'd ages ago but I don't believe it, another one says two days ago the rest all think af is late 😂

What time is et today? Are you excited yet??

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/06/2021 13:21

@notyetamumbuttrying oh amazing! 🤞🏻 everything crossed for this one sticking for you! Do you have to pay to keep them in the freezer or is that all part of the nhs too? I'm just being nosey really as I'm not entitled to nhs help anyway lol

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/06/2021 13:23

@Annny27 I know, can't believe it! 17th June is test day.
@Marvellouslymadmum thank you 😊 no, all covered by the nhs for up to two years I believe.
