IVF Cycle Buddies July/August

[BiscuitBill]

Hi all! I know there's a June/July thread but I've started this one as I'm so far behind everyone else and wanted to find others at the same stage as me!

We're due to start a FET after a failed fresh cycle in march resulted in a CP. We got 5 Frosties which I'm so pleased with and we're putting two frozen ones back this time.

AF came yesterday, so I'm booked in for scratch on 24th of this month and start DR on 22nd.

I joined a thread on my last cycle and it helped me so much as I am very private with all of this. So I'm hoping to find others to share with again 😊

Yeah I'm just tempted to test because I know if my period turns up while I'm at work I'll burst out crying...again!!! Which I sooooo don't want x

That's a hard one leanne. I think it will be a heck of a lot harder getting period now than any other 2ww so you're right it might be best to be prepared. You have to do what's right for you.

Ps I hope you don't need to even think about periods for at least 9 months!!

Hello hello. Still kicking over here, so sleepy but had to stay up to do my trigger - hooray. Longer update tomorrow, not happy with the last couple of days and had to stop myself putting in a complaint 😤😮
Egg collection Friday but no embryo transfer for me this month. Back in the morning 😴😴😴hope youre all feeling well

Ahh Floo dont panic yet, you've still got time for those smaller follicles to grow on the new dose. Sometimes they increase quite rapidly! Stay strong and keep going.

Yes gamblers paracetamol is fine, I took it loads even after ET.

Cho how are you finding the cetrotide, that's the diddly one isn't it!?

Hope you're linings doing well when you go in tomorrow biscuit, they never rally mentioned mine and I never really asked. Wish I had now so I knew what it was.

I caved at 5dp5dt Leanne, but like you I planned to wait until 7dp. Don't be scared though, try to be excited. Also FRER are much better than any other tests (I haven't done the digital ones like chivin suggested yet..I'm scared to see on them...don't now why) so if you haven't stocked up I would get some of them.

Chivin sorry to hear things are not going to plan but it ain't over yet! Although you are on your own we will all be here cheering you on on EC day! Let's hope there's a couple hiding behind that pesky bowel. And I hope your migraine has buggered off, my oh gets them, they are nasty.

Still got a line today, still feels like a cruel trick. I keep thinking what my grandma always says 'Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.'. It's so bloody hard though.

Finally brave enough to post a pic. 8dp is this morning. Oh god I go all shakey when I think about it.

Oh my goodness crying!!! What pretty lines you have there. They are excellent! They are getting much darker. That totally must mean something. So happy for you!

Love your grans saying, I'm pinching it. My grandad used to say 'worry is a prayer you never want answered'. They were wise souls.

Can't stop looking at your pretty lines. 👏🏼

crying that deserves a woohuu!!
leanne you'll know what feels right for you, follow your instinct, test when you're ready!
thirty what's up? Complaint about what? Well done triggering, EC tomorrow!!!

Thanks guys!

Yes sorry thirty I didn't ask, what happened? Are you ok? Good luck though.

Chivin that's great, did it feel exciting putting the trigger in? Is it just another injection?

Sorry you're fuming crying, you should complain. Try and focus all your energy on you just now and deal with them in due course. Hope you feel better today.

Aaaaaahhhh Iv just ordered tests online and they arrive tomo! I'll test on Saturday I think at 7dpt xx

PS my husband will be at work so I'll test, get all my crying out when it's negative then break it to him nicely lol xx

gamblers I'm way off triggering and EC!! That was for thirty (I'll be lucky to get anything) !!

Oh @crying what pretty stripes you have!

@Leanne do whatever you feel is write for your sanity.

For all those triggering, good luck. I felt like doing my trigger injection was a real landmark in my journey.

Oops sorry chivin. I read that as well, done triggering and ec tomorrow! As you had them.

Congrats thirty, what she said! 😂😂😂

Trying to catch up with everything with little time is causing mistakes. Maybe I should take some time off work to keep up with mumsnet? We are all doing so much just now!

Good lord! Apologies for my mix up between 'write' and 'right'. Honestly, I do know the difference. I blame autocorrect on my phone.

Have just spent £70 on a train journey back to London for a blood test. Our consultant told us to go on holiday once we were post transfer as it would be good to relax. Arranged to stay with in-laws for a few days, then the clinic informed us that we'd need to be available for a blood test day 6 post transfer. Cue me leaving DP with his dad for the day and me having a set to with an entitled lady who was in my reserved seat on the train

To top it off, we were supposed to be staying at DP's dads during our stay but DP's dad's, new girlfriend has relegated us to the caravan on the drive, supposedly to give us more privacy. We have no water or electricity in the van

What with all the injections and pill popping, I am literally living the junkie dream! Thankfully I've managed to see the funny side, though there maybe tears before the week's out!

Hope everyone is progressing on all our little journeys and sending to those who are struggling today.

Haha clown I actually noticed but didn't want to be teachery 😂😂 I'm sitting at lunch break just now with on and off cramp and keep checking incase af is starting early 😫😫😫

Thank you for everyone's kind words! Made me cry (for the second time today!). I'm sort of in a more accepting place - I've started trying to pick a daily positive affirmation, and yesterday's was something like 'learn acceptance of what is happening - you were never in control anyway' 😂
I'm being an emotional wreck today though - DVLA wouldn't accept my marriage certificate as enough proof of my name change 😒 so I had to also change it by deed poll which is just completely silly and annoying but not actually something to cry over! Oh the hormones eh!!!
It seems like everyone is on a roller coaster - yay for those who are triggering!

Clown a caravan does not sound as good as a house! We have a campervan that I desperately wanted to go away in, but it has water and electrics!!!

Thirty I hope everything's alright - I've found a good rant can help 😤

Crying 😍😍😍 those lines! Makes me go all funny on the inside - so excited for you!
Also love that saying!

Chivin I hope there's some hiders in there - but it does only take one I know how shit that feels though!

going to check previous page for things I've missed now

Just a quick update on scan. 11 follicles measured, a 10, an 11 and the rest were just a bit behind, around 8/9. Then there were some little ones that she didnt measure. It was day 6 (5.5 really as i didnt start stims til sat evening) so they were happy with that. Told me to just carry on as i have been and rescan on mon. I am dashing back out now so I will catch up on everything later on, but i did spot that pic of those lovely bfps crying, how fantastic!

Oh crying, your pic gave me butterflies 😊 absolutely amazing news, I'm so so happy for you!
Thirty hope you're feeling better today about whatever was going on yesterday!
Well done to all those triggering & good luck with EC.. Who's up next & when? It's like a full time job this thread 😂 so hard to keep up! Hope everyone else is ok x

Home and had time to catch up now.

Whats been going on the past couple of days thirty? If you need to complain definitely do it, but like gamblers said focus on yourself for now and deal with them later, youre more important! Hope youre ok and EC goes well tomorrow.

crying im finding the cetrotide fine, but not sure what you meant by diddly?! I like them as its a pre filled syringe and only 1 amp so not fannying on doing 5 like for stims! Congrats again on those lines they are fab.

clown thats nice of DPs dads gf to shove you in the caravan isnt it, i like that its made out to be for your benefit! I do love caravanning but am loving my home comforts at the moment while im feeling bloated etc. Hope youre doing alright. Bloody annoying when youre given conflicting info and it ends up costing you £ isnt it!

floof still thinking of you . When are they scanning you again? Sorry if youve said and ive missed it. Who doesnt accept a marriage licence as proof of name, its the DVLA not MI5, how silly!

Good luck for scan tomorrow biscuit, hope everythings ready to go for ET next thurs for you.

Hope everyone else is having a good day x

Cho that sounds good! What did you have to do 5 for!? Do you mean 5 injections!?!?
I worked out I'm on day 23 of stims now 😱 grand total of 52 injections so far and counting 😂 so I bloody hope scan tomorrow shows something! Ideally 10-15 follies of appropriate size all with perfect eggs in please and thank you!

Floo fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow. I'm also scanning tomorrow so will be sending big folly prayers up tonight.

Epic ivf fail! Was buying new glasses there, went to pay and realised I was late taking my nasal spray! No shame, I was cursing at myself for forgetting then jut excused my self and took a very big snort of the spray up my beak!

Nooo not 5 injections, thank god! Im on 5 amps for stims so mix 5 powders and 1.5 waters for my stim injections.

Wowzer that is a lot of injections, i bet youre like a pin cushion! Yes tomorrow will be your day floof, lots of lovely big follicles I hope, you deserve it after all the effort youve put in!

Girls I have everything crossed for ur scans tomo 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Big folly dust to u (not sure that's a thing but u get what I mean) 😘🤗
