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?

@Stoneme wait until Monday to test.
I do have a question - is the clinic call you on your embrio update or you call to clinic to find out what is happening?

Russkispy · 07/12/2018 09:27

@Beetroot01 , my clinic calls me with the daily update.

LillyLeaf · 07/12/2018 11:05

I still haven't heard anything from the clinic about if any fertilised, I'm going mad. Luckily I'm at home frantically cleaning the flat as a distraction, it's not working and I've checked my phone a million times.

LillyLeaf · 07/12/2018 12:05

I got the call... 6 fertilised. I'm pleased with that, I think.

Guio · 07/12/2018 12:25

Hello they don't call me daily,last time was yesterday but my transfer will be tomorrow and I will find out what is going before that, I guess.This is so bloody stressful.I don't have many plans for the 2 ww so not sure how I am going to deal!

Russkispy · 07/12/2018 13:15

Thank you lovely ladies! Got another picture of it and it's divided in 8.3. Tomorrow will have another update in the morning and ET is lunch time! Good luck for all of us tomorrow! And coming 2ww! Acupuncture is booked on Monday and reflexology on Wednesday Smile bloody needed it!

Wesstywoo · 07/12/2018 13:28

Hi everyone. Please may I join in although I had IUI rather than IVF. In my area we can only have one IVF funded and I was and am not ready for that to fail and me sent on my way so I thought we could try IUI first. How is everyone doing?

AmyK18 · 07/12/2018 21:44

Hi @Zest11 of course welcome to the group! What’s your situ, how long been trying fertility diagnosis etc? When was your IUI treatment, how did it go? X

Guio · 08/12/2018 07:10

@Wesstywoo @Russkispy good luck for today!,sorry if I miss anyone else.I managed to sleep but I am very nervous right now,the 2 ww are going to be a torture.

jemimafuddleduck · 08/12/2018 07:15

@Guio Good luck for today!

Russkispy · 08/12/2018 07:23

Just got my last update and the little trooper is still developing/dividing nicely. What a relief! ET in a couple of hours! Surreal!
Good luck to you too Xmas Smile

AmyK18 · 08/12/2018 07:37

Good luck @Ruskisspy sounds like you’ve got a really good shot with this one! X

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2018 07:55

Thanks everyone! Good luck to @guio and @Russkispytoo! Glad to hear your embie is still doing well @Russkispy

I am nervous to hear whether the embryos are still ok and also worried because I usually have short cycles (can be as short as 22 days). Tomorrow will be day 22 and I've had cramping throughout the night so I'm hoping the pessaries can hold AF off long enough for implantation

LillyLeaf · 08/12/2018 08:49

Good luck with transfers today. I must say I'm finding the waiting the hardest bit so far. We won't have an update today but will find out tomorrow morning if it will be a 3day transfer on Sunday, I'm really hoping they can make it to day 5. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Josie789 · 08/12/2018 09:08

Good luck for all the transfers today! Have everything crossed for u all xx

Guio · 08/12/2018 09:09

@Wesstywoo I didn't know that the period could come earlier!my cycles are short as well.I am not inflated anymore and my breasts are not big either.I hope the pessaries are working.

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2018 09:17

@Guio I am not sure whether it can - I will ask them today! The leaflet does say cramping can be a side effect so I hope it is that

Josie789 · 08/12/2018 10:02

@wesstywoo the cramping can be still from EC or even just all the progesterone. It's so hard to tell what is what cause there are so many different twinges and cramps that u feel after EC especially with some many hormones going on.

I have just had to phone my clinc, I am so bloated, they have told me its ohss, its so uncomfortable, when I had the ET they said I was at risk but I just wanted to go ahead any way. Xx

CautiousOptimist · 08/12/2018 10:48

Sorry to hear you have OHSS Josie789. I’m sure your clinic are keeping an eye on you but watch your symptoms as it can get worse very quickly. Go to hospital if you need to. Hope you feel better soon.
