Thank you so much @NatW2021 … leaving soon 😬 so nervous! Xx

@Koalie I am sure you are but it will all be worth it 💕 xxx

@Koalie all the best today. It’ll be over soon. Get plenty of rest after and keep drinking lots of fluid. Thinking of you X

@Koalie Good luck! :)

Good luck @Koalie 💗💗💗💗 thinking of you today! xx

@Koalie good luck!! Xx

Thank you all so much you lovely lot! I actually really enjoyed it. No pain (maybe one stab) and now on my way home. 18 retrieved ! X

@Koalie thats a great number!! Well done glad it went so well

@Koalie - amazing!! Glad it went well! Xx

Oh that's fab news @Koalie you must be pleased! Fingers crossed they progress nicely for you! ❤️ for now, make sure you relax and give yourself a huge pat on the back 😘

@Koalie glad it went really well. What a great number! Take it easy the rest of the day X

Amazing @Koalie - big relief x

@summerchild92 I think ovulation can differ slightly between cycles.. it can happen anywhere from 12 to 48hours after the LH surge apparently. I'd imagine with the meds and having had the Hycosy recently your dates could change slightly.

@Koalie amazing collection result. Keep us posted with progress!

So, I'm 10dpo today and (sorry TMI) just wiped and have a fair amount of brown/red blood that appears to be mixed with CM. I do seem to usually spot a little but this amount is what I usually get at the start of my actual period, like immediately reaching for the tampons etc because it's arrived.. but this is way too early. CD23.
I'd usually think implantation bleeding, but at the time of this mystery blood (again TMI) I've just had an IBS flare up... could that have prompted a splurge of bleeding??
I just don't want to get my hopes up every cycle to be disappointed..
Pregnancy tests are negative - which I've only done 3 so far- so very much improved on last cycle!! (Trying to curb the obsession)

@Koalie amazing!

Sorry about the spotting @SaraSS. not sure if IBS would cause it, but since all the muscles down there are quite close it could maybe … “push stuff” down into the vagina too if you’re going a lot. I get it with EWCM for sure. IBS sucks I hope you are feeling better today

@JSS15 thanks. Still.bleeding this morning, dpo 11 CD 24. Tested with FMU and BFN. I suppose if it is an implantation bleed then the tests wouldn't be positive yet anyway.
It feels like the start of AF though which would make my cycle super short. I used to have super short cycles in my 20s, hopefully I'm not going back to that as I believe that would make TTC harder.

@Koalie how are you feeling this morning? Hope not too bad. Are you expecting an update call today? Fingers crossed for a good fertilisation rate🤞

Thank you everyone for your well wishes! 🙂

@Tinkerbell098 i naively thought I’d got away with no pain yesterday until all the medication wore off 😆 was very sore but feeling better today thank you. They don’t usually do calls on a Saturday but I begged them lol so the embryologist said she would call to let me know how many fertilised! 🤞🏼 when is your FET, do you know yet? X

I’ve heard from the clinic. Of the 10 ICSI eggs, 6 have fertilised and of the 8 IVF, all 8 have fertilised! Cautiously optimistic here, as I’m feeling like it’s too good to be true so far. 😬 x

@Koalie excellent! It's a huge step forward.
What happens next then for you? How long do you have to wait now?

@SaraSS we get a call on Monday to let us know how many made it to day 3 x

@Koalie Ooh amazing news! :D How come they did half ICSI and half IVF? 🤔

@TheBirdintheCave because my husband’s sperm sample was better than expected (he has been frantically working on this for some months now so it’s good to know it’s paid off) and because we had so many eggs, they suggested we give both a go to cover all basis, and I’m glad we did, as the IVF group had a better fertilisation rate in the end! X

@Koalie That's really interesting! I had no idea they could do that :)

Amazing news @Koalie !!!! I'm keeping everything crossed that the little fighters make it to day 3. Keep us updated xxxx

@Koalie brilliant news. All moving along nicely now!!!!
