WANTED- cycle buddies who are ttc#1 and planning a FET in April/May

[RoseBud2016]

I'm in need of some buddies!

A long story short is that I have been ttc#1 for 19 months now. I have severe PCOS and don't ov or cycle naturally.
Last year I was told that DH and I would only have a chance of conceiving through IVF, after numerous other fertility treatments failed.

In February this year we had our first ISCI IVF cycle at Reprofit in the Czech Republic (DH has 2 DDs so we are not eligible for treatment on the NHS) We got 12 eggs, 8 fertilised and 6 made it to blasts! We had one transferred and fell pregnant! But at 4+4 blood tests confirmed that the pregnancy wasn't viable and at 5 weeks we had a very early mc (I hate the phrase CP as I think it trivialises it)

The last few weeks have been such a struggle physically and mentally but we are keen to try again so are planning another trip to Reprofit to be reunited with one of our Frosties!

Scared and excited in equal measures and would love some buddies to share in this new and unknown part of the 'journey' with. X

Not long to go and I think you will get a good picture as well. Do you feel that there is going to be a real life baby at the end of all this?

Not yet vixx! I'm a few scans away from that I think.

Right now it just still feels like a neverending round of medical interactions and drugs. Which it is!

Vixx So happy for you! Not long before you can see your baby again X

Stealth my lovely, you know as well as I do that discussing antenatal care isn't going to make a blind any difference to the scan on Monday. Easier said than done but try to remember there really is no such thing as "tempting fate". You and your body are doing great xxx

Grumpel how's it going?

AFM- bloating has properly kicked in today! DH got home from work and the first thing he said was "God look at your stomach"- thanks for that! As flattering as ever

*blind bit of

I understand totally Stealth!

Rose the bloating is a good sign I would say.

Rose and Grumpel another day has gone. Hope it isn't dragging too much! Hope you are both feeling good x

Yay Vixx, so pleased you saw the hb! Also excellent news that you get another scan soon, hope you now have a sense of reassurance (for a few days, anyway!)

Good luck for Monday, stealth! Keep the faith. If all is well when will you get the Harmony results back- and are you finding out the sex? Blows my mind that you can do that so early.

Sympathy to your snotty self, rose.
I also have DH's cold. Hope you had a relaxing day yesterday.

We are DH is spending the whole weekend packing up the flat. Nothing exciting going on at all! Refusing to think about symptoms from now on (hmm) and instead will be concentrating on work and moving - hopefully the time will pass swiftly. Test day is also moving day so it will either be horrendous yet busily distracting or happy yet horrendously busy. Saying that, will no doubt poas well before Friday!

Happy weekend to all x

I know rose, but you know how it is!

Have just had an exhausting morning chasing my prescription of lubion around London. Still not sorted - I only have enough to last til Monday. Stress. Ho hum.

grumpel am keeping everything crossed for you. Not too much longer to wait!

rose symptoms sound good. When do you think you'll test?

Grumpel that does not sound like a fun weekend at all! I hope it's all going ok so far and you are taking it as easy as you can do?!
How are you feeling in yourself so far?

Stealth Honestly, DH and I are discussing POAS tomorrow or Monday (5 or 6dp5dt) I wanted to wait until 8dp5dt really but I've been really bloated and have been experiencing little waves of nausea yesterday and today. I was reading back and noticed that you had the same thing at the same time; so I'm thinking I'm best to start testing early and let myself down a little more gently. (Maybe it's all in my head.... or down to the meds).

Like you I had a blast transferred that was almost fully hatched by the time it was transferred so I just want to see if anything is actually going on down there. Am I mad?

Hope you sort the meds out soon- that does sound like a lot of extra stress that is definitely not needed at this stage

Ooh good luck if you're testing this morning rose! I don't think you're mad. It early but you might be able to see something. Clearly I cracked myself so can't dispense any sage advice to wait!!

Stealth So I did POAS...... Only a crappy IC mind you...... But there is a very faint second line there! DH saw it straight away too.

I knew I felt "different" so the second line just confirms that I'm not entirely crazy. Now I just want to make sure it gets darker in the coming days, as it never got really dark for us last time.

I'm very cautious but obviously pleased to see its there!

Did you sort out your meds yesterday in the end or have you got to wait until Monday?

Oh wow Rose
Congratulations!

HURRAH!!! As you say, cautiously optimistic but that is fantastic news. Will keep everything crossed that the line gets darker. What wonderful news.

I got enough to cover me for Saturday and Sunday and have to go back on Monday . So annoying, will have to cancel meetings and shlep around town again. Neverending!

What time is your scan tomorrow?

9am vixx. Luckily! My nausea has abated today for the first time in 7 weeks so am now worried. Can't win!

Ok 9 am is good so least you can get up and get straight there without more worrying.
You have been having nausea on and off? I will still that you are going to be fine but I know it won't help. I hope you are sick today

Nope I've felt queasy the whole time since bfp. (Which has been really horrid!) Vomiting has been on and off. Maybe the nausea will come back later! Not long to wait, we'll see tomorrow I suppose.

Woo hoo! Amazing news rose! So pleased for you, and to have that little bit of reassurance too is fab. Fingers crossed that the line gets darker. Will you test again tomorrow? You still feeling a bit off?

I feel totally normal (other than snotty) - trying to tell myself that I felt totally normal until 6dp5dt last time though too, and then only a bit periody, with implantation cramping the night of 7dpt. So there's still time, and mine wasn't yet hatching upon transfer etc etc... but have got the right fear, especially about being the statistical unlucky one on the thread!

Annoying about your drug-chasing, stealth, not conducive to a relaxing weekend at all, especially with pre-scan anxiety as well! Good luck for tomorrow morning, will be thinking of you.

Hi Vixx!

I am a ridiculous, ridiculous human.
I've also just poas. Essentially because I hate being left out! Middle of the day wee, 4dpt. But a bit of a squinter on a frer... I also did take it and then ignore it for 20 mins while wrapping up some glasses. So not getting excited really. But feel a bit better!

grumpel \/

A squinter is a squinter - that's a BFP!

Oooooh fingers crossed for both of you - I hope those lines keep getting darker over the next few days. How wonderfully exciting!!

Stealth is right. A line is a line! Woo congratulations this has been a great day.
Praying those lines get darker tomorrow!

Thanks all- I'm just really wanting to see line progression in the coming days in order to believe it. I know it doesn't guarantee the same won't happen as last time but it will make me feel more optimist.

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Stealth and then with getting hold of your meds without too much more stress. How long does it take to get the harmony results back? Is it instantaneous? I'm clueless about this stuff!

Grumpel Congratulations to you too my lovely! A line at 4dp5dt in the afternoon with diluted wee sounds very promising!

I'll be testing daily with ICs until they run out, and have 3 FRERs which I want to try and do every other day in the coming week until OTD. How about you? X

Thanks rose. Like you (like all of us!) am feeling extremely cautious but at least it's helpful in knowing just how much actual moving I can and should do this week Sorry DH.

The FRERs are BOGOF at Boots at the mo so I have three left from this week's splurge... Plus some of Superdrug's finest. Will aim to test eod but in reality will prob be all the time daily.

Good luck with holding out for eod testing both of you. Please report back in the AM
