@curliegirlie baby was my first too..it's mad isn't it thinking back. I had to change him first to waken him then start the drip feed and massage under his chin to feed. Thank god for adrenaline 😊

How are you doing lovely? Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 12/05/2023 16:27

Shit, I'm in a huge panic again. Day three call I couldn't join in so had to get relayed info from my ADHD husband who asked none of the correct questions. All the info I have is:

There are eight very good embryos.
There are others that look good.

I don't think we're going to end up with any now 😭 Eight after starting with 21 is awful.

FfoxRedN · 12/05/2023 16:39

@TheBirdintheCave 8 VERY GOOD out of 21 is NOT awful.
A healthy expectation is to have 4-5 transferable at the finish point and your consultants there should have set this expectation with you.
As you have PCOS you will have had many more eggs than most at collection stage so don't let the number drops hit you negatively xxx

@FfoxRedN We really weren't told what to expect at all. I suppose I should have asked. I guess because we're doing freeze all I didn't really think too much about it as I was so depressed.

FfoxRedN · 12/05/2023 17:36

@TheBirdintheCave they should have said, perhaps they did reassure DH and that's not been fed back to you but 8 (plus more good ones) is an amazing number! From one cycle too. Imagine being told at the end of this week when they're ready to freeze that you have 4-5 really good chances of having a baby. You'd be over the moon ☺️ xx

@TheBirdintheCave 8 really good embryos at day 3 sounds brilliant! Plus you've got some in reserves from what it sounds. I know it's really hard but try and stay positive - it sounds like it's all going really really well!!

curliegirlie · 13/05/2023 12:04

@TheBirdintheCave from what everyone else says that all sounds so positive, I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

@MrsJGrealish have you tested since? Did those LH levels drop down again? If that was ovulation (rather than shy pregnancy) we're almost cycle twins, as I'm 1DPO (didn't catch a truly positive OPK, but 0.54's good enough for me). Actually DTD O-day, O-1 and O-2 this time!

MrsJGrealish · 13/05/2023 13:28

@curliegirlie I'll test today and let you know 😊 I'm actually running really low on OPKs but we DTD Tuesday (the mad surge) and Thursday. I was in a mega huff yesterday, was called in to do a half day today and I REALLY didn't want to, DH made a dig about it last night and I went to bed in a strop 😂

But yay if we are cycle buddies 🥰 !!

MrsJGrealish · 13/05/2023 13:48

@curliegirlie 0.27 🙌

TheBirdintheCave · 14/05/2023 09:18

I drank way too much last night at our Eurovision party 😂 Not feeling too bad considering though!

MrsJGrealish · 14/05/2023 12:15

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so hungover I'm jealous🤢 I've to go holiday shopping later and I've just puked up tea. First world problems 🫤

LuckyMoonstone · 14/05/2023 13:15

Haha I would normally have drank all the way through Eurovision as well 😅 it was still entertaining sober but not quite as much if I must admit 😆

MrsJGrealish · 14/05/2023 19:18

Pretty sure I'm losing my mind atm but can anyone else see a line? I didn't really track ovulation and it's not like me to be sick even with the wine.. I know even if there is a pregnancy it's not viable. I don't know. Line eyes everywhere 😭 feel free to tell me to wise up

I can 100% see it in both pics! But it’s hard to tell colour 🤔 I know FRERs always give me bad indents so i would be unsure too if I were you.

bringmearainbow · 14/05/2023 19:20

@MrsJGrealish I can 100% see it 🙊 saying that when I had one or two that were faint like that they were indents 🙄

LuckyMoonstone · 14/05/2023 19:21

Looking again, the line on the second pic is so obvious though, even though it’s faint!

MrsJGrealish · 14/05/2023 19:30

@LuckyMoonstone @bringmearainbow I'm not mad then 🙈 I used 2 frers last week and got zilch I have one left. I'll test again with a cheapie. It's just my OPK picked up again and because I felt sick I tested. Lmp was 13 April. I do know this won't produce a baby. It's just annoying me coz AF is awol

Sorry had to tell someone 😂

bringmearainbow · 14/05/2023 19:42

@MrsJGrealish oooh that is weird 🤔

bringmearainbow · 14/05/2023 19:42

@MrsJGrealish how long ago was that peak lh?

MrsJGrealish · 14/05/2023 19:49

@bringmearainbow Tuesday.🤨

MrsJGrealish · 14/05/2023 19:52

@bringmearainbow makes no sense. I know I need bloods but it might resolve on its own 🙏 I'm not bleeding or in any sort of pain x just mildly uncomfortable

curliegirlie · 15/05/2023 09:12

@MrsJGrealish that is so weird, too early for if that OPK was showing ovulation, but you'd expect more than the squintiest of squinters if it had picked up HCG last week, even if levels have been dropping. I hope it resolves itself either way soon, limbo is horrible.

TheBirdintheCave · 15/05/2023 09:28

@MrsJGrealish That is peculiar 🤔 I can definitely see a line.

MrsJGrealish · 15/05/2023 09:53

@curliegirlie I know I'm so fed up. I feel awful too. But that could be work

MrsJGrealish · 15/05/2023 10:35

If this is peri menopause it isn't fun
