4DPO yet again, are you with me?

[bunnynbear]

Today's 4DPO. This is second TWW after a miscarriage and that was the first time I was pregnant :(

First TWW after the miscarriage was very hard and very emotional for me, i was symptom spotting every little thing. This time around I feel calmer but its still 4DPO and my brain knows its too early for HcG to be there but not sure how I will be from 10DPO onwards.

Who else here is going through the TWW and how are you coping?

@bunnynbear being sleepy, calm - are all good signs!! 🙏

I am now a bit anxious but happy at least one cycle will be over. I am also new to all this, my clinic not very specific on dates. Idea is the collect and if we have 4 embryos for testing (which apparently at my age a big if..... 😟) then we send them, it takes 6w at least! Dunno why so long, maybe waiting list but what I can do. Meanwhile, after 1 normal period we can do another stimulation and egg collection....as veeeeery high chance they won't be good.. Apparently even with good reserve and hormones etc, quality is an issue (so ladies don't wait till 40!). But this all if I react well etc. which is also another unknown 🤞🏻

@bunnynbear hi, how are you doing? Hope for good news 🙏❤️

I am ok, on my stimulation injections, which go ok, very active and positive so far. Pill I was taking before to suppress the hormones were really bad, I was in a deep physical abd mental pain, but now all good

Hope it all goes well for you @TT82 ❤

@ManchesterRoad Thank you!! ❤️

How are you doing this cycle? Any news? 🙏

I’m around 3 DPO. Didn’t time my BD very well at all so very much on the assumption we’re out this month.

@TT82 sounds like a good start. I’m praying you get good news this round.

I on the other hand don’t have good news. It’s been a difficult time, I’ve been in and out of hospital as had complications and they couldn’t locate a sac. It was only this week they confirmed it’s an ectopic pregnancy (at 8 weeks) and I’m hoping I don’t need surgery. It just hurts at the moment.

@ManchesterRoad it only takes once so you still get a chance. Sending baby dust your way too!

@bunnynbear oh I am really out of words to properly support you 😔❤️ cannot even imagine your pain and what you are going through!
Just hope no surgery needed and you recover well and fast xx

i am so sorry to read your update @bunnynbear I hope you recover quickly and that the path is less rocky from here for you ❤️

So sorry to hear that @bunnynbear hope you don’t need surgery and you recover well. Sending lots of love and hugs x

Hi, how's everyone doing? Xx

Hi @TT82 how are you getting on?

I have a faint positive, although it’s very early and I haven’t missed my period yet so we will see.

sending baby dust to all xxx

@ManchesterRoad oooooo I want to say congratulations but I know better we wait after AF and know for sure all good! But faint positive is already a good news xx

@Lemonbell oh so sorry to hear it!!! And 6th 😔 Are they chemicals or mc after 6week? Do dr have the idea why? Age? In my case it is age, mine were chemicals before 6w, and still I wantedto die every time 😭
Lots og hugs and please look after yourself

@ManchesterRoad I had EC on Monday, only know they collected 8 (dr said she expected more so will increase the dose). But I won't be getting any updates till next Thursday!! Then they will tell me how many if at all made it to day 5 and they managed to take sample for PGTA testing... So nothing I can do. I read that my age 1:6 is normal day 5... So I need at least 7! And dr said if 1 can get to day 5 already a good outcome 😳 So looks like it will be cycle after cycle....

@Lemonbell i am so so sorry to hear that!

@TT82 oh gosh it’s the waiting I think that’s the worst. I’m sure you just want to get to Thursday and know what is what. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

@ManchesterRoad thank you! ❤️

Hi all,

sorry for the super late response. We went away for a short break for my birthday and to reset. My hcg levels have dropped and pos tests are negative so it’s a safe assumption that I don’t need surgery. We’ve got conflicting advice/information on when we can start trying again.

thank you all for the support. It’s been very hard this time and my energy levels have plummeted so much. I feel like a shell of myself.

@TT82 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 have you heard back from the dr yet?

@Lemonbell im sorry you’re going through this too. It’s so hard. Take time to yourself. This time round I didn’t go into work for 2-3 weeks which helped me more.

@ManchesterRoad thats good news, 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it’s gotten darker. How are your symptoms?

@Laylattc thank you, how are you getting on?

@bunnynbear hi, glad to hear you are recovering! ❤️ hope they give you a clear green light for trying again..

I got a very pleasant surprise! So all 8 eggs were fertilised and 4 got to day-5 blastocyst. So they sampled all 4 and sent them, I am paying min for 4 and per esch additional. Testing will last 4-6weeks unfortunately, but we will be doing second EC in a month or so. I need statistically min 7 to test... or actually 10!

@TT82 wow that’s great! It’s good little steps to the end goal. After 4-6 weeks, will they be able to do the insemination? It all sounds very exciting. Please keep updating, I really can’t wait to hear good news from you 😊

@bunnynbear thank you!
All these for testing are already 5 days embryos, already fertilised. If any are good we will decide if to proceed to defrosting a good one and transferring for implantation or to continue another cycle of creating embryos.. As even if it is normal genetically there is risk of non-implanting (like normal pregnancy), or damaging during de-frosting etc. Better to have a few, especially at my age.
So more waiting and stress to come 🙈

@bunnynbear i am so sorry to hear you have been having such a tough time. I hope you have had good support from the hospital and your short break has helped you feel a bit better. It is so unfair that these things happen and it just makes no sense does it?

@TT82 so glad to read a positive update - you are definitely one step closer to your baby!!

I am ok, still extremely early days at 5w1d so just trying to mentally prepare for every situation I can think of but hoping so much for a positive outcome.

@bunnynbear i was sorry to read of your ectopic. I joined your thread ages ago! I've just come out of surgery for my ectopic which fortunately was caught early

@ManchesterRoad when is your scan? Hopefully after you see on the screen you can relax a bit 🥰 though worries will stay for many many years, they are just changing 😅

@Letsgotitans oh so sorry to read about your ectopic!! 😔 be gentle to yourself, lots of hugs xx
