Anyone just starting a cycle or about to?

I've just got the dates through for my first FET to TTC#2. My first LO is 18 months and was made with the help of ICSI and IVF. I start down regulating in a few weeks.

I've already gone through various emotions and I know there are a lot more to come! Anxiety and indecision wondering how I will cope with a second child if we're that lucky and the possible age gap. Sadness that my clinic told me I had to wean DD1 from the breast. Guilt at thinking about another and no longer 100% about her. (Especially if I weaned her and it doesn't work). Stupid thoughts that led me to test without telling DH when my second postpartum period (after weaning) didn't show on time (only spotting, false hope that it was implantation bleed. It's nearly impossible for us to conceive naturally though. AF came this weekend so here I am). Scared that it won't work. The stats are lower for FET and we only have 2 frosties.

The first injection will be at the end of a family holiday. I probably won't be drinking but don't really want to tell them why not yet. Despite all this I am excited too!

Anyone want to join me as cycle buddies?Smile

Yay Kez, that will fly by now!

ellesbellesxxx · 11/10/2016 21:09

Goodthings rest up and everything x for the call tomorrow xx

HelloMist · 11/10/2016 22:58

Sorry I've been a bit quiet. Am doing OK. It feels like there is still a lot that could go wrong so I'm counting down until my early scan in a few weeks. Had sort of forgotten that the waiting and worrying isn't over after a bfp! Am excited though of course and feel very lucky. Smile I hope there will be more good news on this thread!

Good luck Goodthings! Great to hear they collected so many eggs in the end. Hope it's more good news tomorrow.

Welcome, Finding. The 2ww really plays tricks with your mind :( I think it may have been too early to test.

Glad things are happening for you Tata! Hope you are feeling OK on the clomid and good luck with this cycle x

Hope you're OK Elles (nearly there!) and Fcuk.

Mist, I can absolutely see that the waiting and worrying never stops!!!!!!!! Have you got your scan booked in? X

tatatetelle · 12/10/2016 10:12

Goodthings 13 that's amazing!! That gives you so many more chances!! Keeping everything crossed for some good news today xx

Thanks all for the nice comments, I still had some hot/cold sweats last night because of the clomid I think but not as bad as the night before so I'm just focusing on work and stuff to not count the days til scan next week. And on early nights Wink

Goodthingscome2those · 12/10/2016 12:25

Morning!

Tata, I hope you have a better night tonight.

Mist, I can only imagine that the worrying is never going to stop till you've got that beautiful bubba in your arms.

Elle's, how are you coping with the cyclogest (if that's what you're using)? I've only done two and it's really not pleasant Sad, I'm sure you know what I mean!

So just had THE call, out of the 13, 6 fertilised and I'm back in for ET on Friday unless they call me early Friday morning and decide to do it Sunday. What does everyone make of 3 day transfers? Elle's I think this is what you had? Xxx

ellesbellesxxx · 12/10/2016 13:14

That's amazing news Goodthings! Well done!!!!!! I know people who have got pregnant from 3 day transfers!!!! Ours was 5 day but finding feet you were 3 day weren't you?
Haha I am on utragestan and I hear you!!!!! Xxx

findingmyfeet12 · 12/10/2016 13:28

Goodthings, wow 6 fertilising is amazing.

I had a 3 day transfer. We weren't given any other option by our hospital.

Tata, I had clomid for three months and found it pretty unpleasant. Sorry for tmi but the worst side effect for me was the dryness down there.

tatatetelle · 12/10/2016 14:44

Haha thanks Findingmyfeet, I'll be mindful of this side effect!!

Goodthings I hope everything keeps as positively until Friday! xx

ellesbellesxxx · 12/10/2016 16:27

Tata sorry only just saw your messages.. The hot sweats are the worst! Possibly the most unromantic thing in the world for fun times after!!! Count down indeed!!!!!!!! Xx

Fcukthetww · 12/10/2016 18:04

Oh Tata I completely sympathise. Also watch out for the random tears...having been described as having a swinging brick for a heart by friends usually I found myself weeping because a man in the film I was watching had a kind voice. My hubby found it best to creep round me as if I was some kind of rabid animal which irritated me even more-poor man.

Hope everyone else is doing well? Xx

tatatetelle · 13/10/2016 11:19

Thank you sweeties, the nights haven't improved unfortunately but only 2 more to go and I'm done for this cycle. I can't imagine the side effects if I took it in the morning!! Confused

Elles, Fcuk how are you guys feeling??

How's everyone doing? I can't wait for the weekend - this cold makes me want to stay in bed all day!!! xx

Goodthingscome2those · 13/10/2016 15:56

Elle's - will be thinking of you tomorrow and keeping everything crossed for BFP! Smile xx

ellesbellesxxx · 13/10/2016 16:43

Hehe thanks! Fingers x today is your day too!!! Let us know? Xx

ellesbellesxxx · 13/10/2016 16:44

Ah thanks! Hope tomorrow is a fab day for both of us!!!! Let us know how you get on? Xx

Goodthingscome2those · 13/10/2016 16:59

Thanks Elles, will do xx

HelloMist · 13/10/2016 21:30

Good luck both of you for tomorrow!

Morning ladies (a very early one!)

So I just did my test and.... It was positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eek!!!!

Goodthings thinking of you today lovely xxx

Goodthingscome2those · 14/10/2016 06:21

OMG, I am so happy for you!!!! Congratulations hon, how exciting, you must be feeling ecstatic. Massive well done and congratulations again Smile xxx

ellesbellesxxx · 14/10/2016 06:36

Ahh thank you my fellow early riser!!!! I am hoping today is your day too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do feel excited but obviously v anxious. Still... Never ever had those 2 lines before so yay! Xxx

Goodthingscome2those · 14/10/2016 06:43

Ha ha, so what's the next steps for you? Stay positive and you never know there could be a little extra surprise in there for you (you had two transferred didn't you) Wink xxx

ellesbellesxxx · 14/10/2016 06:52

Haha here's hoping ;) have to ring the clinic today and they will order more progesterone! I am impatiently waiting for the time my mum sets her alarm for... Although I would expect she won't mind it being early for this! Hehe! What time is your transfer? Xx

Goodthingscome2those · 14/10/2016 06:58

Oh how exciting, bless your mum too!

Transfer is booked for 10:30, feeling so nervous as only 3 day.

So did you have any symptoms/feelings? Xxx

ellesbellesxxx · 14/10/2016 07:12

I actually thought I was going to be sick yesterday stood next to coffee machine at work... Although that might be because I dislike it and I was excited to find a symptom 😂😂 will be thinking of you... Three day transfers are still good, they are just utilising the uterine environment as the best place for embies xx

tatatetelle · 14/10/2016 07:36

Congratulations Elles!!!!! Grin I am VERY hapoy for you, that's so great!!!! What are you doing with DH to celebrate today? xxx

Goodthings I'll be thinking of you this morning, I hope everything goes well xx

Happy Friday indeed!!
