Fertility Appointments and Beyond: Electric Boogaloo

[thislittlebird]

Hit capacity on the old thread, will tag you in!

Do you see it???? I’m crying a lot and kinda panicking it’s fake news

@thislittlebird I CAN SEE IT!!! That is so great!! And with an evening wee. It’ll be much stronger in the morning 🤞

I'm a lurker on this thread (former username was TheDaydreamBelievers) but just wanted to say congratulations @thislittlebird , I see that line

Thanks ladies @IWillBeWaxingAnOwl @Tinkerbell098

We walked to sainsburys for more tests, I’ll try in the morning and hope it’s less light. I’m calming down a bit now but I lost it there for a while. Not sure how much sleep tonight will bring. I need to catch up with the thread.

@beckyCarlos How old are you now? You’re mid 30s in my head. 30 being old at that time is . Maybe they were onto something lol

@Tinkerbell098 did they tell you your grading? Hatching must be 5 or 6 something? The transfers are SO anticlimactic. And clinical. In my second one they were playing terrible music, that was quite off putting. That embie loves onion, I guess!

@thislittlebird congratulations I see it too!!! Xxx

@thislittlebird OMGG THAT IS A SECOND LINE!!!! get a pink one tomorrow to confirm!!! Bloody hell. I'm crying into my wagamamas!!!!!

@IWillBeWaxingAnOwl love your username, remember you for before, good to see you back x

@JeanieJ thanks, I’m trying to remain pragmatic for now, but we’ve overcome the implantation hurdle today.

@beckyCarlos 😭😂 Wagamamas is uniting us all. I can’t believe it and keep thinking it’ll be over tomorrow. I’ll see how each day goes. Started to spot again tonight including a dot of red blood so obviously I’m now paranoid af. The rollercoaster continues! I went to sainsburys and they only had blue so I have more blue for the morning. FRER has always traumatised me with the blank windows I get without fail lol

@thislittlebird did you pick up any FRERs? Can’t wait for your update tomorrow morning. It’s so exciting! Would the clinic do a blood test to confirm? They didn’t grade it as such. All they said was the big blob in the middle (the part that forms the fetus) is 5 out of 5, then the ICM but that forms the placenta is 2/3. So overall called it top quality.

@Tinkerbell098 I’ll order a couple of FRER from Amazon, they didn’t sell them in the shop. It’s so hard to think anything other than this will suddenly end but I’ll take it one day at a time.

Big blob 😂. Well, it all sounds good. When it your OTD? You had a trigger, right?

@thislittlebird also, a line is a line is a line!! It is THERE. It doesnt matter how dark. Dont believe the hype about dye stealers! So over the moon for you, most definitely not fake news!! Also, am 34 (nearly 35, stopped counting at 32....) x

@thislittlebird i think I was just happy there was a blast so the rest of the information just went out the window. She’s going to ring me again tomorrow to update on the others if they’re freeze worthy or not so I’ll ask then. yes I had the trigger last Wednesday night. I tested this morning and the tests are still picking it up. Not sure when it’ll be out of the system, probably in a couple of days. OTD is next Friday 7th for me. It’s going to be a long week!
Yes enjoy the moment and take it a day at a time, but looking very promising at the moment. So happy for you X

@Tinkerbell098 I can imagine! how many went through to the next stage? Friday is soon! It’ll be here before you know it. 🤞

@beckyCarlos you’re still a spring chicken!!! I do hope it gets darker, let’s see😬. Genuinely can’t believe there’s a fuckjng second line.

@ththislittlebird oh em gee. Popped back to see you got on (can't really deal with me right now). Amazing! Wishing you all of the luck xx

Thanks @Beyondshit, hope you’re ok, I know you’re having a tough time.

So this morning my Clear Blue test is not very dark at all, so that’s a bit concerning that it’s barely darker than last night. I hope I’m not having a chemical. The digital says 1-2 weeks pregnant, which is apparently an accurate reading for what doctors would call 4 weeks with CB.

@thislittlebird definitely get some FRERs. The digital is pretty accurate I’ve heard and if that’s picking it up, it should be real. Don’t worry too much about the line intensity. As Becky said a line is a line!

@Tinkerbell098 i have some arriving today! I’ve read a few threads where it’s sometimes just light lines and it’s turned out ok, seen a few people say FET embryos can be late/slow implanters so hopefully it’s just my 4BB being lazy. I’ve notified the clinic, I have no idea what they do now. It’s taken 3 years to get a line and now I’m unclear what happens.

@thislittlebird for me, they said they’ll arrange a blood test the week after and then book a scan a couple of weeks later. Might be the same for you?

Congrats @thislittlebird - I'm thrilled for you :) Wishing you all the luck xxx

@thislittlebird my clinic were decidedely nonplussed when I called 🤣 I was so excited and they basically couldnt have cared less. The nurse said 'ok, so what are you calling for?' And I said '...well...it says to call? So I am' 🙈 she then said 'ok, so do you want to book a viability scan?' And I'm like '..I guess so???'. Honestly. I wanted a fanfare lol. Keep taking thst progesterone! X

Thanks - I’m not exactly thrilled, more tentative I suppose. The light lines and general ivf anxiety will keep me very un-excited lol.

@Tinkerbell098 I’ve emailed them, not heard back yet but I asked if they do tests

@beckyCarlos mine haven’t replied 😂. They are not bothered. It really is all very strange. On the plus side im going for thai food at lunch, maybe I can entice the embryo to hang around again.

@thislittlebird I had to put a stop to testing because it was driving me insane comparing lines and worrying about them. I think thai at least once a week sounds incredibly sensible, and delicious!

@thislittlebird i could do with some Thai now. Enjoy your lunch ❤️

I now have two job offers and I’m losing my mind lol. Jobs and positive tests are like buses, it seems!

I’m excited for the Thai and I think your test line advice is probably sound @beckyCarlos

Taking internal roles when knowingly pregnant is continuous employment, right? That’s ok? Suddenly occurred to me after the call about the job
