IVF April 2023 - looking for buddies!

[Triselly]

Anyone out there starting/continuing IVF treatment next month (April 2023)?

I’m 36, first time everything, and due to start stims early April. Wondering if there are others who might like a thread to chat/vent?

If you’re out there and in a similar position, let me know!

@CR7 OMG thats AMAZING! So happy for you, you soooo deserve it. Finally got your line after all your hard work! xx

Thank you @Flowerlover010 xx need to now go back to bed as haven't slept at all 🫣

Hoping for some other lovely news from our gang x

Yeeesssssssssssss!

Delighted for you @CR7!

Massive well done for surviving the wait, really how you can enjoy the feeling now.

As a reminder ladies, I'm 42.5 with an amh of about 2. (Possibly less these days) Third transfer after three collections, a mock transfer, a Hysteroscopy and EndemeTRIO testing. If there is a little hope for me then there is for everyone xx

@RunningOnHope thank you xx hopefully some answers for you today also

@CR7 Yessss! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! What amazing news to see when opening up Mumsnet 🥰 And yes, go and get some rest!

I'd call todays a strong positive, with really heavy bleeding now. Looking forward to talking to a nurse later.

@RunningOnHope I just called my clinic as they open at 8. Hopefully answers soon for you x

@RunningOnHope That's a great line! :) I really hope you get some answers soon.

Ahhhh @CR7 you got your positive 😀🥰 so happy for you - you so deserve it after all you've been through! 🥹

@RunningOnHope that is definitely dark. I'm keeping everything crossed for you when you speak to the clinic 💗 xx

@lemons44 thank you for your lovely words! Keeping my fingers crossed for you also x

Clinic confirmed it sounds like a chemical pregnancy - I'm really bloated and in quite a lot of pain today. Got to stick with the pessaries and test again Wednesday or Thursday.

Absolutely fantastic news @CR7 I am so so happy for you!!

@RunningOnHope I'm annoyed on your behalf that they haven't suggested doing bloods to see if your HCG is rising or falling.

Not feeling great today. I'm a bit bloated now and have some backache which is worrying.

Oh @RunningOnHope I'm sorry ☹️ we're all here for you 💗

I'm feeling a bit confused today. I am 4dp3dt and for this morning and yesterday I have had very mild period pains on an off ☹️
I rang the clinic and asked them to check if I should be on more progesterone.
I know it could be either a positive or negative sign. I don't know when my period is due as I was on long protocol so started my down reg on day 21 of last cycle so haven't had a period in about 5 weeks.
Not sure if I've done the right thing by asking the clinic about my dose or if I'm being paranoid. I'm now worrying they might put me on MORE progesterone and this will have bad effects. Is it possible to have too much? So hard to know what to do. Feeling very hormonal and tearful today too.
xx

@lemons44 my clinic said there's no such thing as too much progesterone so let me put your mind at ease with that worry.

Every lady is different. I didn't have a single symptom as you know but other ladies definitely said that they had symptoms and went on to get pregnant.

If you can you need to just take every day at a time and try to keep yourself calm. You won't help your MH if you are worrying about every twinge I promise. Eat well. Surround yourself with positive people. Walk. Watch tv. Good books. Time will move xx

I'm so sorry @RunningOnHope, hopefully today can at least give some more concrete answers and you have your family around you. We're here as well of course if you need to vent ❤️

My bleeding is heavier today so fully expecting a negative later today when the clinic calls. I don't think I've cried so much in my life! At least can be done with the damn progesterone for a while.

@Triselly I'm really sorry ☹️

@cr7 congratulations!! xx I'm so happy for you!

@SarahShorty thank you ♥️

Sending you love @Triselly xx

@Triselly so sorry, thinking of you. Its such a tough journey. Sorry its not what u wanted to hear @RunningOnHope hope the torment is over for you soon

@lemons44 your period would be roughly due 2 weeks after your transfer date. The cramping could be implantation but it would be impossible to know at this stage. x

Thanks everyone. It was a horrible few hours this morning in a lot of pain but it's eased off to mild aches, so I think the worst has passed. What a rollercoaster this has been. Glad you've been with me on it. Will we have a new thread for when we run out, @Triselly?

Really hoping any of you ladies might have any clue about this:

The clinic messaged and said my results wouldn’t be in today, but I could check in the lab and read the results online myself. Nurse message said Hcg level of 5 or over was a positive, under 5 was a negative.

My result is exactly a 5? Still light bleeding and utterly confused
