@charja100 How did it go? :)

We're just waiting for ours now. I'm going to wee one more time exactly 30 mins before and then drink water from then.

@TheBirdintheCave hope it goes well!

Well to be honest it was a bit of a palava. You might not remember but I have scar tissue on my cervix from a cervical cancer removal surgery a few years ago. The scar tissue makes transfers challenging sometimes. It was a bit tricky last time. Today I went in and she couldn't so it. So I had to drink more water and go back in a bit later and try again. Was pretty painful so they had me on gas and air, but they did it!

We did see the little flash when they transferred though this time. It even made my hubby smile. He was so pleased it happened this time.

Pleased to be home feeling a bit traumatised. But glad to be PUPO and have my little frostie on board! Might have a nap feeling shattered

CR7 · 14/07/2023 17:01

@charja100 all the naps please xx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/07/2023 17:06

@charja100 Oh gosh I'm sorry it wasn't a great experience :( Really glad they managed it though and your wee one is safely on board! Well done for being so brave!

Mine was fine. 5AB defrosted well and is now safe inside 🥰

I didn't get to see the screen though, all I could see was the ceiling 😂 Husband saw it though.

Well done both, hope you can put your feet up @TheBirdintheCave, and @charja100 you are an absolute superhero. My transfer was so much more straightforward this time, much less pain which I was so relieved about. I've been doing my best to avoid heavy lifting today, but otherwise having a pretty normal one 😊

@TheBirdintheCave and @RunningOnHope
Go us having them on board. Countdown is on.

Not sure what mine is Care don't really grade. They just said it's good so I'm taking that as a positive. They raved about my first one and look what happened with that. I guess you never really know unless you pgta but I'm being positive!

@TheBirdintheCave I'm glad your hubby got to see. I think it means a lot to them to be there and to see it. Everything crossed for you!

@RunningOnHope I'm so glad your transfer was so much more straightforward this time!

WholeZebra · 14/07/2023 20:37

@charja100 sorry to hear it was so difficult! Glad that you’ve all got those love little embryos onboard! @RunningOnHope @TheBirdintheCave

TheBirdintheCave · 14/07/2023 20:58

I'm panicking about everything we're eating and drinking now 😂 A one off takeaway and glass of San Pellegrino is ok right? On a normal basis I have salads for lunch and home cooked Asian food for dinner.

So scared I'm going to ruin my chances by eating the wrong thing but I guess if that were true I would have been told otherwise by the clinic right? 😅🧐

WholeZebra · 14/07/2023 21:31

@TheBirdintheCave absolutely fine my darling. I was exactly the same the evening after transfer!

How long have you got to go, @WholeZebra?

@TheBirdintheCave you'll be absolutely fine, don't worry! But I know the stress. When DW conceived our DD, and when I got our positive last round, we ate pineapple core to help with implantation. I forgot to get any in this week so I've been superstitiously worrying that it won't work because I haven't eaten the magic pineapple!

@RunningOnHope today! Just waiting for DW to get home! I’m absolutely desperate for a wee and feeling anxious.
