Great hearing everyone's ivf stories I'm following along quietly as I don't have much to input but still here cheering you all on!

@clolo that's brilliant that you have 21 fertilised, here's hoping for them all hanging in there!

@polejunkie it only takes one 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@crazycatlady1981 keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow

@Sjhigs hope you got some sleep 🤞🏻 for your update tomorrow

@Narwhal88 glad et went ok, your test day is my mums birthday! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@yutes, congrats! Been at work so only just caught up. How many cycles of letrozole did you have befire it worked, I have got 2.5mg to start next cycle but we also have some MFI too.
Fingers crossed all those waiting for eggs to fertilise/bed in x

@Yutes can't remember if I congratulated you or not yet so congratulations!! 🎉 hope you're feeling ok

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker It’s your turn next!! 🥚🥚🥚 How are you feeling? Good luck tomorrow!! x

@becarefuloutthere I can safely say that sickness kicked in massively for me at 6 weeks 😂 nearly 15 now and it's showing no signs of easing!

@Theawkwardblonde eek!!! Tbh if it does come now it'll help me believe that this is real. Can't believe how far along you are now! Does the anxiety ease after the 12 wk scan?

@becarefuloutthere neither can I. Seems so weird after trying for so long.
I think my anxiety has gotten worse! I don't know how I'll make it up the 20 week scan as I'm already chewed now! My bump is starting to show though so that's a reassuring sign that things are progressing.

@Marvellouslymadmum Thankyou the wait is brutal 💕

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker good luck today with EC!

And to @crazycatlady1981and @Sjhigs I hope you receive positive phone calls today x

Good luck with ECs and embryo updates today everyone!

@Marvellouslymadmum I'm just rooting for people too atm. Can't TTC now for the rest of the year I reckon but I've been on here so long I don't want to take an MN break!

Fingers crossed for everyone moving along the process today!
I had an LH peak yesterday so going for ET on Monday with 2 Frosties. Should get a time today but hoping it lines up nicely to get fries on the way home!

Just got the call, 4 out of 5 fertilised!!! 😍 I can’t believe it, so relieved! 😅 transfer is on Sunday but we won’t hear anything until we get to our appointment unless something bad happens, so no news is good news! 🤞🏻DH isn’t allowed in though! ☹️

@Sunbird24 that’s great news!! 😊 Will be keeping everything crossed for you!!

Good morning ladies
I've still 2 troopers fertilised I was screaming my head off and then broke down into tears I was praying for 1 this morning so I couldn't have asked for better so emosh this day 🙈

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker good luck for today

@crazycatlady1981 absolutely brilliant 🙌 how good of an outcome was that my transfer Sunday too let's hope the wee skitters hang on in there 🥚🥚🥚 xx

@clolo they said they would call fri/sat again to arrange my appointment time so I take it they'll give me another then and just hope I don't hear from them before then xx

@Sjhigs @crazycatlady1981 aaaah amazing news you two!! So eggcited for you all!

@Sjhigs I can only imagine! Amazing that your two are holding in there

@Juno231 ahh that sucks! I like checking in on everyone and seeing how they're doing.

@Sunbird24 ooh good luck for Monday!

@crazycatlady1981 yay excellent news so pleased for you

Amazing news @sjhigs @crazycatlady1981 :D

Fantastic @Sjhigs @crazycatlady1981

Would love to see some bump pics @Theawkwardblonde when ready if you fancy!

@crazycatlady1981 and @Sjhigs really glad you both got good news! Fingers crossed for continued development x

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker that’s fab, shame about the sample, my OH was the same, so odd! Hope it doesn’t have anything to do with the covid vaccine 😬 positive vibes for successful icsi x

@Theawkwardblonde I don't think the anxiety goes until the baby comes out! Nice that you're showing. I'm bloated as hell so look like I'm showing too 😂
@clolo @Sjhigs such wonderful news ladies, so pleased for you both!
@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker glad all went well with you as well, icsi does wonders for MF! Good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏾

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker sorry to hear about hubby sperm result. I honestly think it's so inconsistent and just depends on what's going on that month! Fingers crossed for tomorrow

We had out initial consultation with the Fertility clinic today! My fiancée got his COMET test results back and unfortunately they are outside the range for anything being successful. He's got an ultrasound booked for the 11th to see whether he has a varicocele but the consultant at the clinic told us they don't look at those results anyway and I had my AFC done and had 5+2 which is within range but not great so I'll be getting a higher dose of drugs and she urged us not to delay the treatment! We are expecting to start the protocol in August. I hope we have more information about fiancée's varicocele situation but I am not pleased that his COMET results won't be considered. It seems to me like they could be potentially wasting all of our time if they insist on using sperm that are not good! His overall score was 30% & range is up to 24%

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker amazing news! 13 is great! 💕 Fingers crossed the icsi goes well! 🤞🏻 Does that mean you’ll be able to have a fresh transfer rather than having to wait for fet? Or are you still at risk of overstimulation?
