Anyone starting IVF? Join me (5)

[waitingimpatient]

I don't think anyone has started the new thread yet? Apologies if so and ignore this one if its already been done

I'm hoping by the end of this thread I'll be waiting and impatient for a new arrival fingers crossed

Everything ok waiting?

I'm ok, still have a stomachache/cramps but went to GP as I was worried it may be a UTI but nothing showed up. They sent the sample to the hospital anyway . I just feel very crampy and uncomfy today. I've been trying to rest but today went for a walk just to get some fresh air and it helped the cramps a bit. Hopefully it wasn't the wrong thing to do!

Good news though-the hcg trigger seems to have gone from my system!!! Which means I can test early before OTD. I got a couple of super drug early tests and frer too as they are both meant to be really sensitive

I know how u feel, I'm still cramping too quite a lot. When are u going to do the test?

I think I could probably test earliest sun/mon?

I have no idea, I'm too chicken to do it early even though I want to March upstairs and piss on it RIGHT NOW arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!! Can u tell I'm going a bit crazy now!!

It might show up for you, as you had a 5 day transfer and haven't had a trigger you wouldn't have to worry about a false positive.....and if it's negative it may just be too early

I can't do it

Maybe wait a few days then or till OTD just to make sure you get the right result

I'm a nightmare I think I'm a compulsive tester! I can't wait to start but know it's too early till at least Sunday

If I test now and it's neg even tho I know it could be too early I will be in a foul mood!

Fmu probably better for an early test as well I'd have thought

fmu?? Sorry lol

First morning urine ! Sorry !

Oh ha ha I never know what these letters stand for I don't even know what the bf stands for in front of bfp or bfn lol! I feel old!.....how old are u if I'm allowed to ask?

Hello waiting. I've been watching this thread but found I have no real contribution to make to help ease you through the two week wait... is there anything that can really be said! Glad you have others going through it with you. So I just thought I'd mention I'm still here on the sidelines even though I don't know what I can say to help!

Supporting you in spirit to indecisive. Oh, and BF stands for big fat.

Hi shellster and thank you X

I still can't get names in bold lol I'm useless

Why do these 2 weeks feel like 2 years?!

Good luck to the 2ww ladies!

I had my first tracking scan this morning, Dr said it's looking good however one of my ovaries is "stuck" due to endo (I knew this) and she said it might be difficult to "get to" during EC but there were 5-6 good-looking ones in the other ovary.

I'm really gutted and scared now - so if they DO manage to get 5, who's to say any will fertilise, then go on to even be good enough for transfer??

I feel sick and deflated

Can I also ask, can the trigger cause a false BFP? Is that what you mean, waiting, when you say it's out of your system?

Yes the trigger is a big ole injection of hCG aka the pregnancy hormone that's detected on a pregnancy test. So many women test out the trigger using cheapie HPTs to see when the trigger is out of their system, so they can know if a BFP is a real positive and not just picking up the trigger

Tap - the fact is you have 5 and it does only take 1 to become an embryo and then become your baby. What sort of size are these follicles so far and when do you have your second scan?
My first tracking scan is tomorrow and I sometimes feel that something is whirring down there and have quite a few cramps (who knows if this is a good sign)..... they might find many more follicles than I ve ever seen on a scan but I don't expect to have any more than 5 really (as this is my standard response when I was having scans with no treatment and also when I had cysts on one ovary
They may well be able to grab unseen follicles from the endo side ( I have endo as well)
Where are you having your treatment?
Best of luck and we just need to try and stay positive

I'm not sure re the size...tbh I hate the scans and am focusing so much on not vomiting everything is a bit of a blur .

Anyway I just rang as instructed and nurse has advised I have to reduce my dosage to 225iu (currently 300) and come back on Sunday for another scan.

I'm at the RFC in Belfast

Anyone here go barts hosp?

I think you guys are 11 hours behind me. It's 9am Friday morning so I think you should be sleeping soundly now everhopeful and will wake up to your scan that has FINALLY arrived! Can't wait to hear.

Indecisive, there is a list at the bottom of this page (just below the purple button you click to post a message) that tells you how to put words in bold if you are interested. But don't stress, I'm sure you've got bigger things to think about! What day are you at now? I've lost track.

And what day are you at waiting?

I had a day two transfer Friday so that makes me 6dp2dt doesn't it ? (My maths not great especially with how preoccupied I am)

I had a bad day today, feel like it won't have worked one minute then the next minute thinking maybe it has. Desperate to test but I know it's very early so potentially won't get a true result anyway. My drawer full of tests are calling to me though!
Felt a bit tearful earlier about the possibility of another cycle and the timings of everything if this fails as I know I'd have to have a bleed then wait for proper af then start again, then I would probably not be able to have a fresh transfer so would have to wait another month........ It just seems like so much. I feel overwhelmed already and I don't even know the result of this cycle ! Feels like I'm going a bit mad. Realistically when could I get a positive if it had worked? Sat/sun at earliest? I need to know
