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

Does it matter when you test - morning/afternoon/night? I didn't ask at the clinic.

Swim... honestly I tested 7 days early and it showed something. But I did both times morning pee.. always best to wake up and do it. But with natural pregnancy I tested at 4 pm and still had visible lines. Are you having any symptoms?

So i broke and tested and it is showing positive. Haven't told DH yet. Worried just in case there is any chance my booster injection thing i did last Wednesday could be giving me a false positive. Hopefully not. Like others though, not counting chickens as last BFP ended in MC so cautiously hopeful.....

Swim 😁😁😁😁😁😁 fingers crossed it’s not!! When I tested early I knew things can be different in 7 days but seeing faint line made me feel little calmer for few days..everything crossed xx

@aliona19 that’s AMAZING!!!! Soooo pleased for you!!! This is the news I was checking my phone all day for then you go and put it right before I do my 3 hour drive back home!! Naughty Russian!! 😁💕❤️🍾honestly I am so pleased that another fellow poster from the start, what 6 months ago (& u were like March, it’s soooooooo far away!) has got the BFP!!! Xxxxx

Then @swimchick1980 you too!! That’s awesome!! If you tested in the evening & it came positive it’s v likely and I am sending all my hopes that’s it keeps coming! If it’s only a couple days then yeah, def right!!! ❤️💕😁

Is there someone else too soon xx

Keeping fingers crossed and trying not to get carried away. Clinic said to test on Saturday so will see what the story is then. Egg collection was Friday 23 Feb and transfer was Wednesday 28 Feb.

My fingers are crossed for you swim

I need advice. I’m having my scan in the morning and reading my book it says not to inject hMg before scan. However I can’t find anything to tell me if cetrotide is hMg. Or am I being really thick 🤷🏼‍♀️ My scan is half 8 and I’m not sure what time the clinic opens for me to ring them and ask!!

@liverpool19 you should always have an emergency number? Or call the hospital and ask for the IVF clinic bleepholder, I had to do this when we messed up on our trigger shot (that might be the same thing?!) and they called me back within 10 mins sorry I didn’t see this before hope you get through.

Or do you not have a medication/journey sheet like I do, I keep having to refer back to that!!

Thanks Minster 😍😍 I know, it’s been such a long wait 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had collection in October 😰 I was gonna post early but had very stressful day at work and had to do overtime, sorry 😅 by the way, Atik doesn’t mind me telling, she is having a boy 💙💙

@liverpool19 if it helps (I don’t know if it does!) I am having cetrotide added in on saturday night & Sunday night and my first follicle growth scan is Monday? So I would say it’s not that one?!

@aliona19 that’s great news about Atik I’m so pleased!! Boys all round so far! Here’s one for you to research then especially if you had a dream about a girl, there’s some research that says day 3 vs day 4 vs day 5 babies are a certain sex, so what days were all of our transfers?? Ours was day 4 compacting! You’d have to find out all the others!! But my friend also said that our other embryo in the freezer already has it’s gender chromosomes so 🤷‍♀️!!

Congratulations @Aliona19 so excited for you! A proper BFP. You deserve it. So pleased.

@swimchick1980 congrats to you too...I know it's a bit early but not that early so I reckon we can be cautiously excited for you!

@Dbear35 so pleased to hear about your scan. Must be a relief to hear the heart beat.

I had written a whole post and it got lost so sorry if I haven't mentioned others.

Love to you all

Xxx

Thanks for the advice! I don’t have any emergency number 🙈 and my drug booklet isn’t helpful. I just got myself into a bit of a flap 😂 so I’ve had the injection this morning and if the nurse shouts she shouts 🤷🏼‍♀️😂. Thanks girls. Xx

Hello all. I’m in my 2 ww and have been told to test on Monday after 2 5 day blastocyst transfers. The wait is awful and it’s driving me mad !

Hi @Liverpool19 sorry I didn't respond. I think you are fine to inject before a scan - bit late for me to say that tho eh!! The only time I was told to stop injecting was before egg collection.

I'm off to the States this morning. Nashville for family party then out into the mountains. Will have WiFi in Nashville so will look forward to landing and seeing how scans and tests have gone x

Good morning ladies!

Yeahhh it is Friday Yippiee!!

It is lovely to see a few positive news on here. So delighted for you @aliona, @atik and DBear.

Also @swimchick1980 it does sound promising for you too!!! Fingers crossed but it sounds like it is all good!! 😘

@Liverpool19 I think you did the right thing, you were supposed to take Cetrotide until the complete end. Sorry I was busy yesterday evening and did not go on the thread. I hope you will get your EC on Monday as you wish!! It is going quick right? You will see EC is really not a big deal at all!! Fingers crossed 🤞 for you this morning sweetie!

@Minster thank you for the dogs pics, they look amazing as always! How are you feeling? When do you think your EC will happen?

@user and @hereweareagain - I hope you are ok sweeties?

@Barcelo18 hello! Yes honey it is quite challenging but you can do this and hoping a BFP for you! Is this your first cycle?

Love to all,
🌟✨💫🌹❤️😘😘

@starlumiereno this isn’t my first cycle. We previously had one on the nhs last year which failed unfortunately. So we decided to go abroad for ivf with an egg donor as I have issues with the quality of my eggs and my husband has a low sperm count. So this cycle is totally different to my last one x

Hi all
How exciting! So glad the BFPs are coming through - even if they are cautious fingers crossed yippee whispers!!!
@Barcelo18 ensure you relax fully as best you can on your 2ww. Take the time for yourself and be positive.

Not sure I've tagged right?! Dunno how....

But 🦋🙌🏼🦋🙌🏼 To all. And TFI Friday x

jane enjoy your holiday!

So I have 15 follicles in one ovary and 13 in the other. I have a womb lining of 10.8 I’m to carry on injecting until Monday. Then go for another scan and hopefully be ready for Wednesday egg collection.

Xx

Woowwwwww @Liverpool19 that's amazing!!!! You will get lots of great eggs sweetie! How are you feeling? Wednesday will come very fast!

XXX

star I’m ok thanks, just feeling really heavy today and feel more cramps than I have the past few days but now I understand why 😂
So far so good. Let’s hope it stays this way! I hope you are doing ok

Xx

@Liverpool19 glad to hear you are good! Of course you can feel something with 28 follicles going! lol lol a few walks this WE for you and then Monday will be here and then EC on Wednesday...not long now!

Yes I am good sweetie. Preparing myself for all of it by taking my time, enjoying my life and looking after myself. It is going well so far and soon my holidays so I am very excited ! Eek!!! It is so nice to see you all progressing .

XXX

@Barcelo18 that's exciting different I hope! Hang in there!! XXX

Hi @barcelo18 welcome! Hold strong girl!!

@liverpool19 that’s awesome well done!!! So good!! No wonder you feel heavy!!

I’m still pumping the drugs! I got back from crufts yesterday and after driving for 3.5 hours my hubby had left me a note as he had gone out saying “med needles drawn up with a present in fridge..” and see pic (who says romance is dead when there’s a G&T and needles for me ready?!!) it’s ALL romance here!!

In other news we had our 20 week scan today, crazy! Our little 🐝is a lazy sod, do happy ‘ snuggly in his nest with my friend that he wouldn’t move for them to get all the necessary measurements check to the point we had to leave, get chocolate, run up & down stairs & let the next lady in & try again! Finally it worked! Checked it’s a boy & he’s ok! Can’t believe it’s actually truly real!

In other other news, this is my puppy Nyx on the right, yesterday at crufts, with another Slovakian Rough Haired pointer on our stand, moose, on the left, where we spent all day saying “yes, they are the same breed, just different coat variations, & ages, Nyx is a smoother grey roan, Moose is a hairier grey!” ALL DAY!!

@minster2012. Thank you im still holding out although have had quite a lot of cramps today. I’m going to hold out until Monday definitely as I’m going home to my mum on Sunday for mother’s day and don’t want to put a downer on her day if it’s negative. What lovely news you’ve had x

minister that’s amazing news 💙
barcelo good luck I hope it all works out for you
