November/December IVF/ICSI/FET

[StoneMe]

Hi everyone, just had my first down regulation injection this morning with a scan booked for next Thursday. This will be the transfer of my remaining embryo. I had a little boy last year via ICSI so I know I've been very lucky already.

Anyone else starting now?

@lillyleaf, you will be fine, and u will feel much better once the eggs are out! And more more injections has to be a good thing! xx

Thank you lovely ladies! I'll be getting daily updates with embyo progress photos till the day of ET! Mine is scheduled on Saturday, which will be day 4, morula stage of embryo. I read a lot about it and it all sounds as good as day 5 of being a blastocyst. Praying they all survive and some left to freeze!
It looks like a few of us getting ET done on Saturday! Everything crossed for us!! I'm not sure about anybody's age, but I'm 42. And you?

Trigger is done. How did you all feel the day after EC, I can't decide whether to take it off work or not.

@lillyleaf best to take the next day off as it is a general anaesthetic.

@russkisspy I'm 34, amazing u get daily photos, is this extra to the normal treatment? X

Thank you all for updating what's going on, reading your news is really exciting! Fingers crossed all goes well in the next steps for everyone.
I had a scan today and my lining was thin (which is good). I start on progynova tomorrow and my next scan is next Thursday. The nurse said my donor was in yesterday for her scan and all is well so far.
I can't get my head around the idea that someone out there is going through all of this for us. It makes me so emotional!

@LillyLeaf I feel fine today, no pain although I took the day off as holiday because the clinic told me to take it easy. Mine wasn't general anesthetic though

Hello,I went back to work the day after EC as I was absolutely fine but I had sedation no general anesthetic.However I fell awful since I started the progesterone pessaries,is this normal?I do 2 per day,I feel bloated and I have abdominal pain.

Hi @guio sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I only did my first pessary this morning so I dont know if that is causing it but I would perhaps contact your clinic for advice today (mine told me to call them if I had those symptoms). I hope you feel better soon

Not great news here, only 1 survived after fertilisation and nothing to freeze. This only 1 is dividing in cells and my doctor has good prognosis for it. I can only pray now! Will be discussing plan B after ET. Im just hoping and praying it survives till Saturday transfer!

@Josie789 I asked the nurse at my clinic about the scratch timings and she said this so think I don’t have to worry too much I got myself all wound up yesterday

‘The theory behind a scratch and wash is that the repair process releases growth factors, hormones and chemicals which then makes the new lining that grows more receptive to an implanting embryo.

So, in theory this current lining that you are about to have (your period should be due any day now) is reaping the benefits of the procedure.’

@Russkispy keeping my fingers crossed for your little emby! X

That's good to know thanks @amyK18.

Is any one else feeling really bloated with the progesterone? I have to wear a uniform to work and feel like I am going to burst out of it!

Thank you! Hope @Guio is feeling better!?

@Russkispy hope your embrio will do well x
I had my EC today, I had 19 follicules, so I hope that few will fertilise. I feel quite bloated but not too bad in general.

@Russkispy fingers crossed for your embryo.

@Beetroot01 how many eggs did you get from those follicles? Hopefully you'll get good news tomorrow.

I have my EC tomorrow, pretty nervous but not really about the procedure I'm more nervous about the outcome.

Thank you ladies!
@LillyLeaf good luck for tomorrow!
@Beetroot01 hope you got a good number of eggs from those follies!?

@Beetroot01 19 is amazing but do you mean already eggs?they should have told you after the procedure. Good luck @LillyLeaf*.@Russkispy fingers crossed for your embryo,will you have more updates before Saturday?I will get mine tomorrow and transfer will be Saturday.the pessaries are not very good,I feel worse that with the injections, very bloated.@Wesstywoo* how are you feeling?will you get news tomorrow as well?

Good luck tomorrow @LillyLeaf!

Glad your EC went well @Beetroot01

Got my fingers crossed for your embie @Russkispy and very positive news that the doctor thinks it has a good prognosis

I'm feeling ok at the moment thanks @guio but today is my first day of pessaries. I have to do 3 a day will get an update on my embryos tomorrow, feeling slightly nervous - I hope they are still ok!

Hope everyone else is ok too xx

Good luck @Lillyleaf for your EC.
@Guio hope you will feel better, are you doing your pessaries vaginal or rectal, I asked nurse and she said it doesn't matter.
It was taken 19 follicules they will call today to tell me how things going on.

Hope other ladies are ok x

Good luck for today @lillyleaf.
@russkisspy good news that your embryo looks as though it will have a good prognosis.

@guio I feel the same the pessaries are much worse than the injections xx

Better news today! My little embie is progressing nicely and already ahead of today’s stage! Already divided into 5 cells on day 2. My little fighter! I got a video and picture of it! Got all emotional!

Good news @Russkispy!!!

Great news! @Russkispy

Thank you ladies! Very surreal to watch it!
Hope you get good news today too!! Everything crossed for you!

So pleased for u @russkisspy xx
