A super group of women supporting each other and sharing their personal journeys and experiences during the IVF processs. All are welcome !

Haha, don't worry, i don't really think it is a sign . At the same moment i woke up from my dream DS came through crying as his dream was that we were going to sell his favourite teddy.

I'm actually not finding it TOO much worse than the usual 2ww and i also feel very thankful that we have the frozen ones.

Just really hope the coming days bring good news for all of us

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on day 6 of injections did anyone feel anything or feel any different when doing the injections? X

Hi All!

So many conversations on here I'm trying to catch up and failing miserably!!

Good luck to all the lovely ladies testing this week and next I hope you are all doing OK on the 2ww ..I went insane and then came out the other side and didn't test until a day later than I should because I liked my PASP bubble (Pregnant And Staying Pregnant).

Good luck for the Baseline scan ponypals

misterback on the drugs I see hey you say only a few eggs but look at the one you've got cooking all about quality right! . The news about your friends registering to egg donor because of your FB post is amazing well done you!

Aliona not long now lovely I wish I had your strength!

So far in my wait from BFP to viability scan I've tested EVERYDAY and yesterday I tested twice as the test line was fainter in the morning.

I still have zero symptoms maybe a bit tired more than usual but then again work is manic !

I am nervous as hell for my V scan tomorrow afternoon but what will be will be right!

Lots of love ladies !

Hi everyone

@Liverpool19 I had periods of feeling a bit buzzy! But overall I was quite slow, a bit breathless. Towards the end I was quite bloated and felt very "full". I wasn't especially emotional until the progesterone kicked in. I didn't realise that I wasn't my normal self really until it was all over and I started dashing about again like I normally do. Made me realise I had been different.

How are you feeling?

@Dbear35 good luck!!! Of course scary but also exciting. Let us know how you get on

@Minster2012 so good you are starting. You only need one as everyone said, but the stims may also help!

Love to everyone else xxx

Best of luck Dbear 😍😍😍 lets see that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Beat!!

@Jane lol why are you ignoring me? 😅 that’s twice I asked how are you doing? Feeling any better? And you keep dodging my question 😁

Awwww *@aliona19 I do think very highly of you I just desperately want it to work for you!! 😁😁 last time I’d did stims for over 2 weeks, this time hopefully it’s 10 days. You are nearly there darling keep going xxx

@dbear35 don’t worry about lines disappearing they do that after 3 weeks, it means nothing!! It doesn’t mean you aren’t pregnant!! Everything crossed for your little bean tomorrow xxxx💕❤️

@liverpool19 I felt bloated last time on the injections & overly emotional, this time o feel bloated today but after 1 day I think that’s from being a 🐷🐷🐽rather than the drugs!!

mrsmidge I’m sorry I can’t add anything but hugs xx

Hi to everyone else and everything crossed for 2ww and big nice juicy follicles!! Xx

jane I’m feeling like I can feel stuff going on inside me 😂 if that makes sense. Like a few cramps on my ovaries but nothing major.
I’m feeling really tired, bloated and heavy.
Good luck dbear
Xx

Ahhh @Aliona19 sorry!!! I'm fine.

Approaching AF as having super quick cycles at the moment - feeling sad as signs appear even tho I know I can't really get pregnant naturally anyway (doesn't stop me symptom spotting for a miracle)

Waiting for NHS to sort out my funding and hoping it comes through in time to catch cycle in April. Work are being good about it.

Oh and started a diet from the It Starts with an Egg book - lots of supplements and have given up refined sugar - 3 days in and feel virtuous and convinced I will suddenly have nice clear skin and my cellulite will disappear - probably the novelty will wear off soon but hope it helps with egg quality.

I'm just watching you all and hoping hoping hoping. I need BFPs to keep me going

Xxxx

Wow everyone sending positive vibes to all. And thanks for my replies. I have heard of the steroids meds as well so I will ask.

Least I am off the meds and pessarie free til next period arrives! (Pessaries are bum or fanny tablets applied direct @swimchick)!
Deffo be glad for that as the pessaries have me tummy ache. I have used front and back.... does any get recommended which one is best?!

Have a lovely day all... x

That’s great stuff @janefx40 well done! You should feel virtuous!!

& @aliona19, my friend only had to use the pessaries until we had the viability scan at 7 weeks not until 3 months pregnant, as they said that her progesterone was taking over at that point so though it seems the exception to the rule you can ask!

Isn’t there someone testing today???

And good luck @dbear35’n

Hi Ladies hope your all well

Ponypals Hope your baseline went well

hope things are getting going for you Jane even though it's sad having af signs . I know what you mean about the hoping for a miracle

Hi @ swimchick Aliona and liverpool Hope the tww and process is going smoothly

mrsmidge can't remember if I Said welcome so will say it now. Welcome!

Good luck for your scan dbear

Hey minster Hope your well. I think it's tomorrow for first test this week Aliona then Friday saturday and monday (me)

I'm not sure I will make it to testing had aching start last night just like af. Hoped it would ease today when i woke up but feels worse. Tmi sorry Wiped and got pinkish tinge on tissue which is how af starts.
Tbh can't help feeling it's all the signs I'm out. Sorry for not giving a more positive update.

@heewegoagain18 that’s not tmi that’s exactly what we are here for, really have everything crossed for you that it’s nothinh, it can be irritation from the pessaries cos they are a bugger so let’s hope it’s that! Sending hugs

Morning everyone.

PonyPals, hope the scan went well yesterday.

Janefx40 hope they sort out your funding soon.

Dbear35, good luck for your scan.

Testing day is coming around soon, good luck tomorrow Aliona19.

herewegoagain18, keeping everything crossed. Pinkish tinge is not out for sure, so don't lose heart.

I'm not sure whether to test a day early as due to teat on Saturday but i go on hols that day, not sure it would be a good idea to be a blubbering mess on the flight etc if it not a positive result. Alternative is i wait until Sunday, not sure what to do. My tummy definitely feels crampy,so preparing myself but obviously still hoping for a BFP 🤞.

Sending positive vibes to everyone and hopefully the coming days will produce some good news.

Hey everyone,
Had my baseline today and the lining is 10.4 and the transfer is happening on Monday!
Still in a bit of a shock. Just hope that our little frosty that has been on ice for the last 3 years will actually defrost properly.
Continuing on pryganova and have started the pesseries today.
2 a day, morning and night. @Aliona19 do you have to lie down for 30 min after inserting?
@herewegoagain18 all is not lost! Good luck and fingers crossed.

Hi guys just to keep you posted I started bleeding a lot this morning so is looking like a definite no - even the clinic has said it looks like bad news. Feeling down in the dumps and just terrified now that this means we will not have our own children. Will take some getting used to I think x

Hey all. Will reply everyone later as very busy at work.
User is am sorry it’s bad news 😕 if it’s confirmed all you can do is take it easy and be kind to yourself. And then when u feel better u can come up with new plan. I know it’s not happening to everyone, but I just want to say, my mums friend, she was trying for baby all her life. The doctors couldn’t do a thing and back then ivf wasn’t available back home. She got pregnant at the age of 42 naturally and had a baby girl. So no matter how hopeless it feels we should not give up xx

PonyPals. My pessiaries 3 times a day and strictly back door 😅 so no need to lay down as it all stays in without problem

user, I'm so sorry it's bad news. Look after yourself and take the time you need before thinking about the future and next steps (easy to say i know). Will be thinking of you .

PonyPals - hoping your lovely wee frozen embryo thaws well and beat of luck for Monday.

user sorry to hear you news. Have a rest and look after yourself xx

@user1497036202 I'm so sorry. It is heart breaking when it doesn't work. All you can do is let yourself grieve, be kind to yourself and rely on friends and us for support.

Sending lots of love your way

Hello ladies!

@user1497036202, if it is what it is I am very sorry it did not work out sweetie. But hang in there, have fun and don't give up ! X

@Liverpool19 welcome to the IVF world! I told you so! You have all the right symptoms that the follicles are growing

@JaneFX40 we will be buddies in April then! The over 40s here we go!!! You are very lucky to get it for free, that's awesome and from the bottom of my heart hope all will be good the next time around. How are you feeling?

@Minster I miss pics of your dogs! Yeah yeah 2 follicles but you will produce other great eggs to create a beautiful family! Youa re a warrior woman !

@Ponypals - exciting! All the best sweetie! Believe it is the ONLY way! X

@Herewegoagain18 I hope you will get a positive outcome sweetie X

@Aliona very soon now, but all will be good

@Dinks&Binks - how are you honey pie? Holidays soon?

@Rose - how are you and when is the wedding? Is it all planned?

@Scottlass - missing your messages. Hope all ok with you X

Love to all and sorry If I forgot somebody!

@Liverpool19 tired, bloated and heavy sounds about right. Your body is doing a lot

@PonyPals well done - good lining growing! Monday transfer sounds great! Nice way to start the week. I took mine back door too as you don't get any mess. But I find crouching when I put them in, helped them to go in easier. And I will admit to buying some surgical gloves (but did sometimes have to put them in without!)

@Aliona19 one more sleep! We will have everything crossed for you

Xxx

Has anyone tried running after their egg transfer? I really want to get out running again but any attempt I've made to run for the train has felt very weird indeed. My transfer was a week ago so maybe i just have to give it a bit more time.....

Hey all

Minster 😃 I know you love me really 😋🙃 so close but still so far away.. as i have seen bfp before and then 6 weeks later it was all over. But nothing I can do, just keeping my fingers crossed. And you, soon EC again. Mine seems so far back I forgot all about it. Hopefully you will get few good eggs and complete your little family ❤️

Jane don’t say it’s impossible, Doctor should not always right and miracles happen. So get ready for new round but don’t give up hope x

Herewegoagain I know it’s poitnless to say not to worry and that loads of girls bleed, so just hang on there and stay positive as much as it’s possible

Swim thank you 🙏🏻😊 I would say test early but you know, me and my demons (yes @Minster? 😅😅)

Star 5 am, remember?!? FaceTiming you from my bathroom 😂😂

❤️❤️to all

Swim don’t be rushing into all this swimming/running. You just had your transfer, let your body deal with the fact you must grow a human inside you 😅 and then maybe slowly (if doctors are ok with that) start running again xx
