[Starlumiere]

Here is the next thread lovelies!

becky I’m sorry I can’t help you but I have my fingers crossed that these are good twinges and it’s just settling in 🙏🏼 Xx

Brown is very very good sign!!!! I really want a prosecco but nope not allowed xxx

We can do this becky 💪🏼 Xx

@Becky, are you doing natural cycle? If not (that is, if you had stims and/or downregulation) your regular period date doesn't matter one bit. The cycle is reset by the jabs.

@liverpool, glad it's slowed down and looking old.

@I'm still a bit crampy but defo milder than yesterday, fingers crossed this one turns into a baby xxx

@wombats glad your feeling a bit better hunni. I had Suprecur and Menopur and now I'm on progesterone. But I have read a lot about how it's the oestrogen that stops your period and from what I'm aware I'm not on that and never have been. Not sure if that's more of an American thing? None of it was explained in great detail, sorry if I'm being dumb 😆 xxx

Hey Becky114 I am on progesterone and progynova.. I think progynova is the Oestrogen

I’m back on bright red/pink bleeding. It’s not got any heavier. Just feel like I have a light ache in the bottom of my stomach 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is it like period pain? Do you usually get period pain? Xxx

No not period pain becky just an ache 😂 yes I have awful period pain where’s I am doubled over and want to vomit. This is getting lighter with a brown streak but it’s more pink than red. Honestly I’m going mad 😂 how are you feeling? Xx

@Liverpool19 yes I like you get awful pain. I have moments of positivity and negativity, just don't know what to expect. I hate not being in control and not knowing. Xxx

That’s the worst for me too. We will be ok 💪🏼 Xx

Liverpool, becky and wombats, I'm keeping everything crossed for you all.

Pony, hope you're doing OK

Everything crossed for all of you ladies, god its horrible, honestly, if we were all druggie teenage wasters we’s All be pregnant years ago...wait...jabs every day....syringes on tap...maybe we’re not that different???

Anyway! Try not to knicker watch too much (@liverpool19) you!!!! And fingers crossed for you all 💕🙈it’s truly awful this waiting game xx

@Liverpool19 @wombats how are you both feeling today xxx

Haha I’ll try not to minister
becky I’m ok, looks like it’s gone to brown now 😂. What about you? Xx

Yeah fine this end, nothing to report really, boobs are sensitive but it's been like this since hcg trigger, and occasional lower abdominal ache which feels more like the beginning of my period. I'm getting super breathless though which is weird xxx

Oh my god me too!! I walked up the stairs last night and was the same 😳 mental xx

Hi @swimchick1980 lovely to hear that all is going well.
I'm doing okay. Can't help but keep researching and researching.

Has anyone here opted in for Embryoscope?

Thanks Pony. I'm mot really sure what embryoscope is, so I'm guessing I didn't do it. Hope the research helps and you can decide on the next steps when the time is right with your clinic. It's good to know that it has worked before for you so hopefully can again. I really am keeping everything crossed for you, and everyone else too.

Hi pony I’ve just been reading about that I didn’t have it done. I suppose if it doesn’t cause any harm to the eggs I can’t see why it wouldn’t be worth a try? Have you heard of the scratch? I was put into the computer in my clinic to see if it was a yes or no to have and it was a no but that was something I was really considering xx

Thanks @swimchick1980
I really hope that it will work this time around.
For this FET we went with a different clinic (closer to home and much much cheaper) and I am kind of regretting it as I don't know if everything was done professionally.
Especially during the transfer the embryologist was showing us the emby and was playing around with it trying to dislodge a piece of fluff (?) stuck to it.
That did not fill me with hope!
So we are going back to the same FS that gave us our DS... let's hope it works!

@Liverpool19 I have been researching the scratch as well but what do you mean... you were put in the computer and they said no???

pony as this is my first cycle my clinc where only doing the scratch randomly for first timers they picked so many each week to be randomised for it.
So they put all my details into the computer and it came back that I wouldn’t be having it. They wanted to compare first timers, who had it and who didn’t to see it they got pregnant or not. Xx

@Liverpool19 I was randomised for that trial to, but like you computer said no which I was gutted about, I am thinking of having it done next time though if this one doesn't work xxx

What's an embyoscopy xxx

I’m going to have it done becky deffo. Xx
