Morning all - day three update is they are both developing, one 6 cell, one 8 cell but the embryologist used the term ‘boarder-line’ and I will receive a call sat first thing to confirm (or indeed not) a transfer for 10 that day. Not sure what to think, anyone know what this really means?! Anxiety hasn’t gone lol, not sure whether to feel positive that both are still in the running or be worried about the boarder-line status 🤷🏼‍♀️ x

crazycatlady1981 · 01/07/2021 10:35

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker I was also still uncomfortable yesterday (day after EC) and still bloated and tender. Today I’m feeling much better, my bloat has definitely gone down as I can fit into jeans again!! Take it easy for the next day or so and drink tonnes of water!

crazycatlady1981 · 01/07/2021 10:39

@polejunkie no idea what borderline means but it’s good that they are still developing! 🤞🏻Keeping everything crossed for your call on Saturday! 💕 I’m still anxious too! Desperately trying to focus on other things, but it’s impossible to concentrate!!

Juno231 · 01/07/2021 11:06

@polejunkie "Typically, a good, normally growing day 3 embryos will contain between 6 and 10 cells. From studies that we have done in our lab and from other published studies, we know that embryos that contain these numbers of cells are more likely to develop into viable blastocysts than embryos with fewer cells."

So I guess the 6 cell one is borderline but they're still both good!

Sjhigs · 01/07/2021 11:24

@polejunkie that looks positive hang on in there x

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker I just tried a walk there and was pretty uncomfortable every step I took so cut it short so I'm still feeling it x

polejunkie · 01/07/2021 11:25

Thanks ladies, I’m not out yet - the wait continues x

@polejunkie sounds like you're still in the running then! Best of luck 🤞🏾

@clolo I’m nervous for my call sat, seems so long away, this week has felt very long so far! With you’re numbers though I’m sure you’ll have some blasts!

@Sjhigs @crazycatlady1981 @CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker are all of you on pessaries? How are you finding them? My boobs hurt bad!

crazycatlady1981 · 01/07/2021 14:59

@polejunkie yep I’m on crinone which is like a creamy gel. My nipples were really sore before I even started it last night! 😂 my boobs seem quite swollen today but they’re not painful yet! Got that to look forward to in the coming days no doubt!! 🙄

This is such an anxious time ladies you are all doing brilliantly! Wishing you all lots of luck.
I am on so much progesterone (cyclogest and Lubion injections) and yet my boobs don't hurt in the slightest 😂 what is wrong with me?! They didn't hurt last time either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sjhigs · 01/07/2021 15:40

@polejunkie yea I'm on crinone boobs are a bit tender but wouldn't say really sore... Yet 🙈

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker great news about embryos not little eggies anymore 🙌

Annny27 · 01/07/2021 17:31

@@narwhal88 my boobs dont usually get sore untill 7/8dpo even when I was taking cyclogest!

Sjhigs · 01/07/2021 18:14

EC girls is anyone full of wind or is it just a coincidence I can't stop farting 💨💨💨

crazycatlady1981 · 01/07/2021 18:45

@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker amazing news on the embryos!! When’s your next update?

@Sjhigs I’m full of wind every day of the week anyway so I wouldn’t notice the difference! 🤣🤣

Sjhigs · 01/07/2021 18:59

@crazycatlady1981 I can't stop 🙈🙈🙈🙈

I feel so much better today, I went pole, had a few moments 💨 💨 💨 haha!! I’m jealous of the gels, I’m basically sticking wax melts in my fungina, like she’s not been through enough!
Hope the next few days pass quickly and positive news is waiting for everyone x

@polejunkie good luck for tomo

And anyone else can't keep up this week 🍀

thislittlebird · 02/07/2021 21:43

Good luck to everyone tomorrow (?), I’ve also lost track!

Wishing myself luck tomorrow too, it’s day 28 right now, I think I’m late as of tomorrow but not 100% because I didn’t track ovulation this month so I’m just hanging in there waiting for a few days to see what happens. Have a few odd symptoms too so I’m praying AF stays away and the hycosy worked its magic.
