IVF in May/JUNE 2017..cycle buddies!

[toffeepuddin]

Hi

I noticed there's a IVF thread for March/April and now June - but no May.

My egg collection is scheduled week commencing the 15th May. On my next period (due around 3rd April) I have to go down for my bloods.
Anyone else?

Broody and Ash - congratulations!!! Xx A fink dis month it's rly lucky for to many of us! A did mine on De 7th day past transfer nd den on De 9th nd was positive a neva tort a will c two lines.. Even for blood test result ma partner rang cz a was dat scared, he was scared too BT is well was positive, next worry is abt scan hope everything will b okay. Xx

Well done Ash!!! Wow! Amazing :)

broody congratulations! That's great news. And to the others I missed over the last week, sorry.

AFM I kind of knew last week that it hadn't taken, I had a few down days and just knew. It's weird how you know. So the test today just confirmed it for us. Oh well, was a long shot. Now for a plan to try a more actively managed and monitored go.

Best of luck to those still going this round!

ash congratulations! I didn't refresh, so didn't see your post! Fab news!

Thanks ladies. I cant believe it, i did think it had worked since transfer as i half a very sharp pain the day after and twinges, didn't want to get my hopes up! Wohoo

Congratulations Ash! woohoo! I couldn't have waited til Tuesday OTD i would have went mental by then!

Sorry chivin, it is very weird how u know. I think I did the day after transfer.

Sorry to hear chivin. It's disappointing when it doesn't work out. You still have your frosty so fingers crossed x

huge congratulations Broody and ash! Fx for sticky ones.
And chivin, really sorry to hear. Allow yourself a bit of time to be miserable (if that's what you want) - I'm not sure I did last time and it hung over me for a while.

Congratulations broody and ash! Fantastic news.
chivin sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for your frostie when you decide to use that xxx
I'm sooo tired. DD keeps waking in the night with nightmares and I just want to sleep. Tomorrow she's staying with my parents so we can go to a wedding but I think I might come home after the meal and first dance and just sleeeep in blessed peace!

Sorry to hear that too chivin I hope your frostie is the one. And congratulations Ash did you have a 5dt?

Hi Ash75454

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm starting on 8th June.
A massive congratulations to you btw!
I've been trying to catch up with all the posts on here but there are so many. I've joined the June thread.
I hope all is working out for you Toffeepuddin
Good luck everyone. xxxx

Oh chivin thats really sad, take your time to recoup and agree with the rest, you still have your frosty :) its not over yet :)

broody and ash a massive congratulations to you both!! Exciting times lie ahead! Good luck!

I hope the rest of the ladies are doing well :)

Hi all, so sorry I have been AWOL... have been finding my 2ww really tough and been lying low (although it hasn't stopped me obsessively googling everything!).

Welcome to the newbies!

Karen glad you op went ok and you get to start so soon!

I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN lux and chivin please look after yourselves, will be thinking of you.

Ticking did the clinic have you in for a blood test?

Blackberries, atika, broody and ash - congratulations!! So thrilled for you all! Are you all waiting to call the clinic or will you wait till OTD?

AFM, my OTD is 16dp5dt so Thursday. However I caved and tested this morning (11dp5dt) as I didn't want to do the test on a week day... well for the first time in 2.5 years I got my BFP! I did a CB digital and got 2-3 weeks. Shaking and feeling very anxious as next step is to wait till OTD and it's obviously still very early days. Hope you don't me lurking to follow how everyone else gets on xxx

Congratulations maple i am sure you are over the moon!! Keeping my fingers crossed on official test day! Not long now! Would your clinic do blood tests and then scan or just scan?

i decided against asking for blood tests as i would just let it be....even if i did, i felt like i would still obsess about it until the scan. What i did though was do a CB digital test and when i tested last week it said 2-3weeks, and now it says 3+ weeks. So that should be enough to keep me quiet until my scan.

I just found out yesterday that there are NHS hospitals offering 3 full cycles of free ivf treatment..that makes such a massive difference to those who are only given one chance to do so. Thats very unfair.

Thanks ticking and I think you are probably sensible about the blood test. My clinic just does a scan I think, no bloods which might be why the OTD is so long.

I'm off to buy some more tests now!

I think the 3 cycle thing is by your ccg so mine does 1 fresh and 1 frozen whereas in Camden it's 3 fresh 3 frozen. The postcode lottery absolutely shouldn't exist. We all pay national insurance and taxes, it's unfair some are penalised just because of where they live.

maple great news congrats.

Karen I tested 9dp5dt

Had to do another test this morning to make sure yesterday wasn't some fluck! Result still there. ticking that was a good plan with the digital def put your mind at ease. The nervousness doesn't stop when you get a positive had such a bad night sleep last night too.

You wonder how they decide on where the NHS funding goes. I'm in ROI so zero funding over here all self funded but they do cap the drugs cost at €144 a month so that helps a bit.

I'm freaking out.
EC is Monday!
My trigger shot is worrying me - what if the glass vials break, or I have the wrong time, or I spill it all or the syringe breaks??

Lily you'll be fine, take your time, try not to over think it.
maple congrats. My clinic will only do scans too. Hopefully I'll have mine on 3/4weeks time

Lily you are just like me. I worry about everything. But as Broody said you will be fine. Are you having a general anesthetic for the EC? I'm just reading my info pack again now. It's a lot to take in! xx

Hi Jessica
Just sedation - I hope it makes me sleep!
Thanks Broody, I do overthink things far too much! Think I'll leave OH to it :)
Nervous but excited!

Lily I can't get over how much IVF seems to differ from place to place. Are you going private or with the NHS? I'm having a full on general anesthetic when I have my EC in about 5 weeks. xx

Doesn't it just!
I'm with the NHS (I have 2 rounds - v lucky). My clinic does things differently from others - but it's great for these forum as I get lots of info and advice from others!!

Yes I agree - this forum is brilliant. I've been on here a lot over the past few days! I'm with the NHS too and can have up to 2 rounds. Good luck!

Are you on long protocol? Not long till you start :)

its absolutely ridiculous that majority of NHS hospitals don't follow NICE guidelines. and here I was thinking we were awfully lucky to get nhs funding approved. In a sense we are, but in case this round didn't work out, we would be left paying for it out of our own pockets. and ash I hope they relax on the rules for the sake of other hopeful couples out there

question about progesterone: are you guys planning to carry on using it? For now I understand we're on 2 pessaries a day...but if they tell me to stop at 3months I think I will carry on taking it but at a once a day thing up til 6months and then every other day after that. I'm reading so many stories and that yes the placenta should take over by 3months but sometimes we dont produce enough progesterone causing to miscarry. It doesn't hurt the baby to keep taking it either.

welcome to the thread jessica wishing you a fruitful outcome in this journey :)

congrats on EC lily! how time flies! when I did my trigger, as I pulled the syringe out, I felt a spray of liquid on my tummy and worried that I wasted a bit but all worked out in the end.
