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!!!!

You poor thing. You can't even relax when you feel like that. Can you have wine?🍷

Yay- you're still here!
Gamblers are you waiting on et on Sunday? How are the little ones doing?

Oh thirty that doesn't sound nice! Is it always so bad?

I'm quietly going crazy. OTD is Sunday and I've become weirdly superstitious about having to use the clinic test on Sunday (even though I've been testing all along). Disaster this morning! Flooded the pg test (no glasses on) and it came up blank! Took me a minute to work out that I had done! Another one a bit later was fine. Roll on Sunday and 7 week scan (crossing legs and fingers and hoping I get that far and it's fine).

Yep duck I go for transfer on Sunday. No idea how they are doing the last I heard was on Wednesday! No news is good news?

Good luck on Sunday! Keep us posted obviously he he x

No news definitely good news for the embies!

@Whatamuddleduck My OTD is Sunday as well 😮😳🤞

I haven't POAS so I've no idea what the result will be. See you in the other side!

Melbourne I'm most impressed! How have you not poas! I'm know for my total lack of patience mind. I'm staying at my dads this weekend. As DP can't see me I'm seriously tempted by a 1 min past midnight test!

Screw the big fight, I'm staying up to watch this duck!

Yay- bfp on the clinics (not very nice to use) hpt this morning! Going for a sticky bean.

Gamblers I home transfer goes swimmingly today and that you have a little one making its self comfy within hours.

Melbourne good luck with your test!

That would be 'hoping' for a sticky bean.

Duck! I want to know exactly what you did and didn't do to get your BFP!
Such wonderful news! Xxx

YES Duck!! Great news!! Congratulations! Yes the hospital HPTs are rubbish, get yourself a nice FRER or Clear blue digi, makes it a bit more real

Aw thanks guys. I've been testing since day 3 and line has been gradually getting darker. It's a relief to have got to OTD! I'm really anxious about cp/mc so I'll keep testing as it reassures me.

Gamblers I wish there was something special I did, but no it really isn't up to us I don't think! How was transfer?

Crying- how are you doing. Has the bfp sunk in? Date for 1st scan?

Transfer went well so now just to wait. Only 10 days so I already feel I've achieved something ha ha

Yay gamblers! I'm glad it went well. Will you hold out for 10days or are you a poas addict like me?

I'm normally a poas 2/3 days before but I just don't know. I'm terrified of doing anything that will hurt this wee soul and I'm terrified of getting a negative.
One day down, only 9 to go!

Hi, I'm leanne and I'm a whatsapp addict 😂 Sorry ladies!!!duck that's amazing news 🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulations xx

Hi there!
I haven't completely abandoned the thread, just been in hospital with ohss since EC on Friday!
Collected 25 eggs, 12 fertilised, 1 was ok but low grade yesterday so I think we've lost the bunch!
I've put on 15lbs in a day too
Hoping to feel better soon!!!

Hi ladies, so much to catch up on. Have you all gone over to WhatsApp as there's not been much action on here!
floofles oh god, are you ok? That is the most important thing. What happened? What happened to the other 11 that fertilised? Did they icsi the eggs? Are you out of hospital now? I hope you're ok xx
duck whoop whoop , amazeballs!
melbourne how did you get on? Did I miss it?
gamblers great news about ET, how did the rest fair? Have you got any Frosties?
thirty I've lost where you're up to 😬

Congratulations for the other BFP's over the last few days, I can't go back a page and not lose what I've already written! Ah technology! And sorry if I've missed anyone, it's hard catching up!

Thanks for thinking of me @chivintassle. I got a BFN. It's going to take a while to come to terms with another failure and decide how best to use our last frozen embryo.
Unless the clinic gives us good reason (and hope) to get straight back in to another cycle, I think we'll have a while off from the IVF. Ideally I'd be a bit lighter weight wise next time and I may invest in some long term complementary therapy, to try and calm me down and improve my chances next time.

Sorry to hear that melbourne how many tries have you had? Worth going for more to freeze, so it takes the pressure off abit? Where are you based? Are there any other clinics that might suggest something different? Xx

Melbourne I'm so sorry, that's really tough. A break if it feels right to you sounds like a good idea.

Oh floofles! I hope they are taking really good care of you. Sounds scary but I hope you are on the mend.

Hi all sorry I have been in Devon and had zero signal or internet 😩 I've been lost!
I am now 4 days past frozen 5 day transfer & getting af cramps sporadically, which I didn't have last time so I'm hoping that's a good sign 🙏🏼
Great news on the official BFP duck ☺️ what's the plan from here?
Thirty I found my first af after my failed cycle was horrendous, very heavy and very painful! Hope oh is taking care of you x x

Just read the last thread back to news everyone's symptoms after ET.
@Nowwhyareyoucrying I've got horrible period cramps and feel sick and bloated day2/3 really hoping it shifts like yours did. If this was a normal month I would be prepping for af starting today from the way I've felt through the night.
Cannot shift this anxiety.

For days post transfer, do you count the day of transfer?

Yes gamblers the bloating and uncomfortable feeling took about about 7 days to go (so basically the main part of the two week wait). I am a serial tester though and got my bfp 5dp5dt (actually got a faint line the day before on a cheapie but didn't really think anything of it - thought it might be trigger). I had twinges and the low achey pulling feeling like before af a lot through the whole two weeks, still have it now on and off so honestly DONT PANIC!

And I think I count the following day (post transfer) as 1dp transfer. So if 5 day transfer was on a Monday the Tuesday would be 1dp5dt.

That's good to know crying.. I've also been getting af like cramps & twinges which I didn't have last time with my bfn - So hopefully they're good signs 🤞🏼
