Anyone due to ivf in January!!

[Aly82]

Hello! I just booked all my appointments for January and my meds should arrive on Friday.i was wondering if there is someone else that will have ivf in January so we can share our experiences? Thank you!!

Thanks ladies, I was blubbering through 50 shades at the cinema earlier as she gets pregnant, hopefully things only get better!!!!

@Hoping2018, I really hope you aren’t out too, fingers crossed for a late implanter and perhaps if you try another drug or dose for stimms it might improve your quality (but hopefully that won’t matter soon)

@Beherenow31 those sound like positive signs, did you have them before? Have you done anything different on this attempt? I’m considering looking into immune testing

@Fabuloustumbleweed, do you mind me asking what your clinic is? Mine has lower success rates with FET although I might switch!

Good luck to everyone else I have everything crossed you all 😘 xx

Hi @Summerloving17 , have you had your OTD now? I'm so sorry - at least you don't have to stim again and have FET. It will be a stats game for you and your time will come!

Another BFN for me this morning. I had mild OHSS from the stims post EC and no sign of any symptoms at all - unfortunately I feel fine (except usual pre period progesterone symptoms of craving chocolate!) Fairly certain I'm out. Had a complete melt down this morning but think I needed it. Attempting to psych myself for fresh round number 2!

Anyone know how quickly you can go again for a fresh cycle?

Sorry @hoping and @summer I cried for about a week. Then picked my self up to try again, and again! My period came really quickly after stopping the progesterone.

I was really hungry last time too. So, I know it’s the hormones. I had cramps all the way through both 2ww, and a tiny bit of bleeding. I just knew they hadn’t worked. Been ok so far, but have some back ache tonight. 😞

Hope you’re all ok. This is the hardest part of the process! X

@BeHereNow31 thanks - yes lots of cramps and also some night sweats?

Hope your 2ww speeds by- will you test early? X

I won’t test early. I’ve been tempted before, and they were negative anyway. So, will just put it off as long as possible 😓 it will be a blood test at the hospital.

When was your official test date? Xx

Yes same, I’ve had awful cramps, night sweats and backache from the progesterone. I kind of wish I hadn’t tested early now as I lost hope early, guess testing won’t change the result in the end though!

Hopefully this is your 3rd time lucky @Beherenow31

Hi Ladies,

I am new here.
It is so nice to find a group of us going through the same / similar process. I am sorry in advance for jumping in here just to moan... but (as I'm sure many of you are) I am putting in a brave face and don't really want to get pitty or worry too much anyone around me. I kind of feel: I'm already having a difficult time, why make it difficult for anyone else?

So here I go. (Again, sorry!)

Just had my Embryo transfer this past Thursday so currently in my 2ww. I'm feeling super guilty for not feeling as anxious as I thought I would be because I am too focused on the physical discomfort, that I don't think I have realised I "finished" my treatment.

The progynova and cyclogest have my boobs terribly tender. Can't even put a bra on. My cramps go on ALL day non stop and every night I have to inject Clexane, which even tho some ladies have found it ok, I have found as the worst of all injections I've had by far!! Sooooo painful I feel I have been punched in my (very bloated) belly and have to lie down for like 15 mins afterwards.

Anyways, sorry again, but if you can't moan here then where??
So grateful for this platform but most of all for such an amazing community of women supporting each other.

All the best to all of you wherever you are in your process and fingers crossed for this thread to one day become the successful ivf stories thread. Xx

Hi all just thought I would just touch base with you lovely lot even though I wasn't successful in my ivf journey you lot helped me through it I still got three eggs left but can't use them at mo as financially can't afford to so we are going through adoption process now never give up one day one day or other we will be mummies just have to think positive thoughts hope this has helped some of you newbies on here I will check on you all soon again just thought I just give some loving support to you all xx

I'm so sorry hoping and Summer. Any news?

@BeHereNow13 I'm sorry to hear about your other embryo. My 2ww has been as expected - too much googling and symptom spotting! Overall I haven't felt that much. Bloating that comes and goes (I'm worried when it's gone), vivid dreams, the odd twinge. Time has maybe gone slightly quicker than I thought although I'm still very impatient. I kept busy with craft projects and Netflix series and that definitely helped when my mind needed occupying. I am nearly there.

Good luck for the future coolchick.

Welcome AliceRi sorry you are in discomfort. Is this FET after already doing a fresh cycle? Good luck for your 2ww.

Thanks! HelloMist! It is FET but my 1st cycle. Did the genetic tests on the embryos so couldn't do fresh x

@Hellomist no good news lol! Stopped cyclogest yesterday and period started today. Thankfully all my bloating and cramps went as soon as I stopped the progesterone so in that respect I’m feeling a bit better and just want to focus on my plan of attack for my FET now!

Still keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you all Xx

Sorry to hear @summerloving17 but glad to know you feel better straight after stopping.
Good luck on your FET! Fingers Crossed! X

Hi Summer, I'm with the Aberdeen Fertility Centre. We didn't choose it for any of their results, it was purely because it's the nearest one to us and that's where we got referred to through the GP automatically.

Hi Alice, welcome to the board. Wish you all the best with your 2WW. I know how bad it can get with the bloating. I'm counting down the days till the cyclogest torture comes to an end.

Nothing new here. Just waiting for my scan next week. Hoping that everything is still okay.

Thanks tumbleweed, I’m in London so have decided to book an appointment at CRGH and one with the top consultant where I’m at now (Guys) and then will decide what to do after that based on whether I’m overreacting or not! I just am so fed up of feeling like a failure!!!
I’m excited for your scan!!!

Welcome Alice, best of luck to you 😘

@Bereherenow31 massive hugs from me!

Have you got Netflix? Maybe watch something funny like Master of None?

Hows everyone else doing? @Hellomist @Hoping2018 @Floofen @sjhXx

@summerloving17 thank you! Having a hard day today. Just feeling emotional/worrying. I will look out for that on Netflix!

Hope you’re doing ok. I’m glad you have a next step to look forward to x

Had et today, a 5ab and 5 more in the freezer that were good quality apparently so just a waiting game now.

Good news babydust!

The wait until scan is hard, Tumbleweed. Best of luck.

Mine has failed. Got BFN this morning, day before proper test date but there was a bit of dried blood so I suspected it would be. AF has come during the day. It hasn't properly hit me yet, think I need a good cry at some point soon. I'm very lucky to have my IVF toddler for hugs and laughs today. We kept busy so I wasn't able to overthink. Haven't spoken to hubby much yet but we think the frozen cycle after this will be our last go. :(

Sorry to hear that hellomist :(

Sorry about that hellomist give yourself time to grieve before starting again.
I’m not doing great today. Emotional and worrying 😓😓 every ache I feel makes me panic!

Good luck for your 2ww @babydust

Hey guys.
Sad news. AF came today, the clinic said it was a sign the treatment has failed. I haven't done a pregnancy test as I'm only 9 days into the 2WW.
Its not sinking in at all, same as you @hellomist. I'd started to convince myself I was pregnant, so it's so sad that it's not worked.

Hi all, @HelloMist @Floofen can I join your club? Heaviest period of my life started today. 9dp5dt. I knew it hadn't worked though.

I have nothing frozen which is gutting. Anyone know how soon you can start a fresh cycle again?

My sister has her 12 week scan tomorrow too which really hammers my infertility Home (though very happy for her as she's had two miscarriages and been through quite th ordeal as well)

Thinking of you all xx

Oh @hoping2018 I'm so sorry, I feel your pain. Yeah there's 3 of us now.
So sorry about your sis, my best friend is having her first this Friday (planned c section) and my other friend has a baby shower on Saturday. Lol. What timing.

I have nothing frozen either. Planning to take time off, come back next year maybe. I had no idea how intense ivf would be!

@Floofen yeah classically all my best friends are pregnant. No one was when I started trying but now I'm one of the few without. Unfortunately I have premature ovarian failure at the grand old age of 31 so time is not on my side and so it's go again ASAP.

This group has really helped though so I'll be staying on here and I'm sure see some of you around xx

Oh ladies I’m so sorry you’re out too and yes this period is just horrendous to make things even worse!!! Been in agony most of the day and passing huge clots (TMI!)

I’ll be going again ASAP too xx

Same here again @hoping2018! I'm 31 with tons of preggers pals, and have PCOS so can relate.

Are you on the NHS? We funded this round so we didn't have to wait, so it'll be a while before we can afford round 2. Was this your first cycle?
