Bus 7 - all aboard the Donkey Cart! Ttc for way longer than we should've been with endo/pcos/ivf all welcome

New thread will try and tag everyone if I can

@CycleGirl20 congrats on your transfer! Can't comment on quality - we weren't even told what ours was... all sounds very promising though, fingers crossed for a quick TWW and a BFP at the end of it x

Thanks @polejunkie. I was really stressed earlier thinking a 1bb sounded crap and they thought the 2bc would go in the bin. But the clinic just called back and said the 2bc has pulled it's socks up and is now a 4bc! It's gone in the freezer and makes a nice back up. I guess this is another one for the donkey cart rollercoaster!! 🎢

@crazycatlady1981 Friday! 13 days seems an excessive wait. 9dp5dt today.
@CycleGirl20 I don't think I give much weight to the grading. I don't really understand what mine was.

@paintfairy that's probably better not to know!

When is test day normally post transfer? They told me 12 days post but they seems ages!

@CycleGirl20 some clinics seem to do 11 days post transfer. No idea why mine is 13 🙄

@CycleGirl20 excellent news! Glad you are officially PUPO! The grading is so confusing! At some clinics a 1 is top quality and others it’s a 5 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think it really matters as both high and low quality ones can still make healthy babies!! 😊 Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@paintfairy yeah the full tww at care is ridiculous!! I tested at 11dpt both times but used a frer and then used clinic test on 13 dpt. Not long now!! 😬🤞🏻

@crazycatlady1981 that's what I was going to do. But DH is in the office Wednesday so will be leaving really early! 🙄

@paintfairy so about 14dpo on "normal" terms then! How do you feel?

@cyclegirl20 incredible fertilisation rate and wonderful transfer news

I ovulated on cd21 this month after the laparoscopy so must have made my cycle delayed! Managed to dtd the day before ovulation and the day after :) and a few days before that but not sure that was in the window

Stitches still hanging on for dear life 4 weeks later 🤣🤣🤣

@Annny27 I'm 15 days post egg collection today. So by my reckoning AF would be due today if it were a normal month. I just don't know if it works like that though. I've had progesterone before and I could still feel everything dropping before now. I can't atm but with all what they do I just have no idea if I would feel a change yet or not. Boobs still hurt and no spotting yet. Rhr is remaining high. So whilst there's no bad signs, I'm not sure I can rely on anything to be good either. 🤣
Basically- I have no effing clue. 🤣🤣🤣

@paintfairy I'm calling your bfp for this week!😍

@becarefuloutthere I don't dare even think that way. If my symptoms were going I'd be prepared, but they aren't. So, if it's a bfn it's going to be gutting. Its all so hard!

@becarefuloutthere what symptoms did you have? Was yours a top quality embryo? I need to know the secrets!! 😅

@becarefuloutthere @paintfairy me too! I'm also voting for test day to be tomorrow 🤣

@Juno231 I would but DH is leaving the house tomorrow at 7.20am and won't be back until about 11pm. If its positive I can't talk to him and if it's negative I'll be sat sobbing a very long time on my own. 🤣

@paintfairy how about saving your wee for an 11pm test 😅. If it's a BFN you can cry yourself to sleep 🙈

@paintfairy it's incredibly hard! I think you'd be safe to test tomorrow btw, perhaps put yourself out of the mystery if you're getting impatient now.
@CycleGirl20 my symptoms were cramping from like day 4 I think. Then in the second week I thought it didn't work, can't even remember why now. It was top quality too which must've helped! 5aa so it was already hatching out. My Frosties are lower quality. AB and BB so I hope they do just as well as we always wanted two 😬 how you getting on hun?
@Juno231 defo test day tomorrow for @paintfairy I agree wholeheartedly 😌 and save your pee in a pot for his return and you can do it at 11pm! If you don't come on tomorrow I'd say that's a pretty good sign all will be good although progesterone does stop af for some...it didn't for you in the past right?

@becarefuloutthere I have cramps already... 🤔 Oh gosh, I'm only 1 day in and I'm starting already

Good luck @paintfairy

The tricky part about testing at 11pm is that if it's positive there's not much you can do to celebrate 😅

@paintfairy With DS, I was on my own when found out I was pregnant as couldn't bear to wait until OH was back from a work trip. I bought an M&S dessert thing in a pot as a sort of celebration/commiseration treat (as needed). Maybe you need a sweet treat? I have a good feeling for you 🤞🏻 x

@feliznavidad2 usually I love sweet stuff! But haven't wanted it for a few weeks. Which is good because I need to stop eating crap.
@Juno231 I'm not sure you'd sleep if it was positive at 11pm? 🤣
@becarefuloutthere the what if is getting harder!

Thinking of you @paintfairy this is the hardest part - knowing when to test, in some ways being in the 'bubble' is rather comforting - wishing you all the luck in the world for whenever you decide to test x

@polejunkie I feel I actually need to know now, because I thought I'd have negative signs by now and I don't. So it's daring me to dream, which is dangerous....... I wish I could have tested today.

@MIW01 sorry to hear you've not been doing too well, I hope things get better for you soon and you have a good Christmas and new year

@kerrym87 I think it's something we should all be told is a good idea when we are younger, freezing eggs and sperm then you know there's always back up plans!
I do think some of the nurses and doctors don't realise what we go through on this journey at all.

@CycleGirl20 seems the way they grade them is very confusing but congratulations on being pupo! 🤞🏻

@paintfairy good luck if you’re testing today! Got everything crossed for you! If you’re testing at 11pm, I think I’ve read that hcg disappears after a few hours from urine so you’re best off using an evening wee rather than keeping fmu as it may not be accurate! xx

@crazycatlady1981 I was going to leave it until 10am as I need to nip out, but I did the wee at 5am. So having read what you just said, I thought I'd best do it now.

Shit.
