October/November IVF

[Langpants]

Hi ladies!

Round 2 down regulation has just started. Embryo transfer should be 1/2 November. Going for 2 embryos this time.

Anyone else just starting a round? x

Oh and welcome @runchunkrun

@runchunkrun Welcome and good luck!

@orangefolly How many days post transfer are you now? How many left to go until you test?

I called the clinic today ahead of my provisional transfer to confirm there was something to transfer - they didn't have the full details but they confirmed that I can proceed with single blastocyst transfer this afternoon and that they are freezing a second blastocyst (the lady on the phone thought this one is a 5BB but couldn't be sure without looking at my notes, which are in the lab). So, not amazing quality but considering we had 4 fertilise I'm bloody delighted! Very proud of Hubble and Bubble!

Thanks for the warm welcome from you all. I'm back at work today and it's help focus my mind so much better. Although obvs not completely 😂

The tww is definitely the hardest part of the whole process. Trying to stay positive but the doubt won't leave me alone. Roll on Saturday 🤞🏼

I'm now 6dp6dt and test day is on Thursday... if I can hold out....

@tinypaws 5BB is good! The one I got pregnant from before was 3BB and the one I have on board now is 4BB - my consultant said they don't see much difference in outcomes from A and B. Is your transfer today?

@orangefolly Thanks for the reassurance!

Transfer went smoothly today. Of the 4 day 2 embryos, 3 became blastocysts but one was not good enough to freeze. There was little to choose between the 2 best embryos, so I have one 5BB- on board and another of the same grade frozen. The only thing was, while we were having the transfer the song on the radio was Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean - a bit inappropriate given that we have used donor sperm!

Rooting for you tinypaws.

I'm 10dp3dt why is my otd so far away 😱although I don't think I'm ready for my hope to come to an end yet so I'm waiting patiently.

AF arrived this morning. I can't stop crying. I had to mumble some excuse and run out of work. The clinic said to test again once the bleeding stops - as if there's still any hope! TBH I've been waiting for this to happen ever since I got a BFP, just don't think I'm meant to be pregnant.

@BlueSarah I'm so so so sorry. Really horrible news. I hope your little bean is somehow hanging in there. I hope you're taking really good care of yourself (and being taken care of) - are you getting signed off work?

Hi again @BlueSarah I'm sorry I didn't read your full message before posting. People can bleed all the way through pregnancy, hope this brings you some comfort. Take care xxxx

Aw @TinyPaws just relax and take it easy for a few days. I've got everything crossed for you xxx

Oops sorry raged the wrong name. (I'm brand new at this. Sorry xx @BlueSarah

Oh no @BlueSarah how awful, you poor thing. I hope it's implantation bleeding, but also understand that sometimes if you know, you know. Take care of yourself. Sending lots of love

Thinking of you, @BlueSarah - I so hope it's just random bleeding x

@BlueSarah I'm so sorry, what a shitty thing to happen. I believe you're meant to be pregnant, I believe we all are.

I have a confession to make: I cracked and tested a day early. Got up really early and just couldn't resist the tempation. And it's a BFP!!!!

I am acutely aware there are lots of things that can go wrong, especially after last time, but I'm cautiously excited, relieved, really bloody pleased

@orangefolly Congratulations!!

Fantastic news @orangefolly! congrats x

@orangefolly that's fab news. Congratulations

So sorry bluesarah, its so shitty. I had this on our first transfer and it was so disappointing. Take care of yourself and cry all you need to. It's a cruel world sometimes.

Spotting today and it's really freaking me out Can't stop thinking about my previous miscarriage. I know I need to calm down and just wait...

How are you doing @bluesarah?

@orangefolly try and rest and relax. This could be a good sign. Try not to panic 🍀🤞🏼

@orangefolly how are you doing?

Hanging in there thanks. Did another test today and still positive / slightly darker, but still spotting a little.

How are you getting on @runchunkrun? You must be nearly at test day? Any symptoms?
