IVF Cycle Buddies July/August

[BiscuitBill]

I saw that we were nearly hitting 1k posts 😱 so thought I'd make a new one before we got cut off!
Hope everyone finds us!!!!

Well that took me bloody ages 😂 had to reset my password to log in on safari and then couldn't figure out how to pm! I think I've done it 😑

See you's on the dark side tomorrow!

I've given into the fact something is wrong. Constant dull pain on the right side for 24 hours now and pain when going to the toilet. Grumble.

I really don't want to go all the way across town in rush hour and sit in another waiting room 😞🙁 not sure what it could be.

Got an appointment post rush hour. Phew. Is anyone having anything done/collected/frozen/transfered today?

Thirty hope you get some answers.

I'm waiting for my fertilisation call today! All being well et Friday or Sunday. I'm in no mans land just now!

Oooh! 🐣🐣🐣 good luck. My clinic called around 9am with mine last week.

Right! Think I've PM-ed you @Floofles.

@Thegamblers very best of luck with the fertilisation update this morning. Hopefully, your embryos have been busy doing what they're supposed to be doing.

@thirty Do let us know how you get on with your appointment today. Hopefully it is just tummy gripes or your body getting a bit grumpy with all the disruption.

Oooo thirty I do hope it's nothing bad!!! Keep us updated!!!
I have hopefully my last scan today! And potentially need to make a time lapse imagery decision - has anyone else down or not done this?

I've no idea what one of those is! 🤔

It monitors the fertilised eggs more closely, to better decide if they're worth freezing or not...

I guess it's not that common a thing if no-one knows what it is! So I might go for not.

Although I might also chicken out of trying to save money and throw everything at it!!!

Just waiting for the dr to discuss scan but I have mild ohss and ENORMOUS OVARIES. The damn things are even bigger.

I assumed they shrunk back to size after collection. Oh no. No no no.

Floo I've Pmd my number for the WhatsApp group
My clinic offers the embryoscope. I asked about it and my very matter of fact (but fantastic) consultant said it's not really worth the money. It doesn't really change the outcome. So that was that and we didn't bother.

How are you feeling today Thirty? I think the whole process just messes with our bodies, they don't know if they're coming or going...

Gamblers have you had the call yet? Hope your embies are doing well in their little dish.

I had my beta this morning and just got the results in....confirmed BFP I didn't know what to do with myself and just sat on the stairs for 20minutes. I'm a bit annoyed though because although our parents know we've had +ve HPT, my DP has just told his parents on a WhatsApp 'family' group that I'm not in. I sent a short message asking if I was not in 'the family'. I'm carrying the blooming child!! Happily obviously. Sorry I'm SUPER emotional at the moment, I just want to share in what is 'our' news. I never normally get the hump, tell me to stop moaning.

Sorry cross post thirty.

Mild OHSS sounds rubbish, as do your poor massive ovaries, hope they settle down. Let us know your plan of action...

Excellent news re the BFP! You guys are coming up trumps with your BFP!

6 of mine have fertilised so et on Sunday!

Yyyaaaaayyyyyyyy BFP!!!
also yaaaaay for et!
Not so yay for massive ovaries... I'm on track for EC on Friday and mine are touching now, so I dread to think what they'll do after the trigger and with a bit of inflammation from the collection!

On the upside I'm pretty chunky and obviously my lack of tone has let them expand without too much pain so far (just nausea and this stupid cough!)

Fingers crossed they go down soooooon!

Crying I feel like I already knew you had a BFP 🤔 I'm either totally psychic or you tested before your OTD 🙈

Yay crying!
Yay gamblers!
And yay floofles- those slow grown eggs have got there!

Day 11 post 5 day transfer and I've had to change to Superdrug cheepy tests as i ran out of frers. It's still positive (woohoo!) but i can't compare it to see if its darker. OTD on Sunday. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

Just sat in the waiting room waiting for my EC 😬 dying to pee! Think I over did it with the water 🙈

Biscuit- I guess it's all done and you are recovering nicely. Fingers crossed for a good amount of lovely eggs!

Oh muddle that's so exciting!
Fingers very much crossed for a sticky bean!!!!! Annoying you can't compare, but it still being positive shows that the hormones are definitely there!!!!

Has everyone left for what's app?

Still checking the app for those that are still here!
How you getting on duck?

No whatsapping for me 😬 Drives me bonkers 🤣 How did your collection go bill?

Floof and anyone not doing transfer straight away. New cycle started and I've not got out of bed for 2 days. End of the world pain 😩 DP off tending to hot water bottles at 2am this morning! Get the drugs, magazines and snacks in now!

Crikey thirty, that sounds grim!

Remind me where you are thirty? Have you started stims again?

No stims for me this month. Need to take this whole cycle off then start again on cycle 2 which will be about another 32 days time for me.

I do laugh when they say oh come on for a scan on day 1. Are you kidding? I'll be hauled up in bed!
