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?

Got my last update earlier this morning and my little trooper was still developing and progressing nicely. And now my little trooper is on board the mama train! Got very emotional watching it happening and even got a little snap of my tiny bean. Been given loads of things to take and test day in 10 days.
Good luck to you ladies! Hope it works out for us all!

Hi all - I haven't put a post up since i joined this group, been a bit of a lurker! But just to update you, I had my final scan today and I have 5 decent size follicles, so I'm having EC on Monday.

I have PCOS but had a split reaction to the drugs. Instead of having lots of similar size follicules, one ovary had lots that are too small. The other had some that are too big now but luckily there were a few in between!

@Russkispy glad everything went well!I got a little pic of the embryo and I got emotional as well.Test day will be next Monday so 9 days for me 😓.I didn't expect it that early!

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2018 14:09

Glad all went well @guio and @Russkispy! I got 2 blasts so one transferred and one frostie - never did I expect a frostie! OTD 21st

Sorry to hear about OHSS @josie789 take care of yourself

Welcome @rosea19!

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2018 14:17

@guio ps I asked about the cramps I had last night and they said it's side effects from the pessaries

Russkispy · 08/12/2018 14:20

@Guio mine is also next Monday. It's 10 days post transfer since my doctor counts today as day 1. She told me to do HCG bloods but I'll do a FRER first and then take it from there

Guio · 08/12/2018 14:26

@Russkispy I guess every clinic is different with test date? some is 2 weeks after transfer, is that your case @Wesstywoo? This is going to be the longest wait ever!I feel exhausted I just want to sleep.

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2018 14:27

@guio yes it's going to be a very long 2 weeks

Russkispy · 08/12/2018 14:36

Most importantly not to cave in earlier than OTD Grin

LillyLeaf · 09/12/2018 09:04

I'll be transferring on Tuesday (day 5). 5 embryos dividing well. I was so nervous waiting for that call this morning, what am I going to be like in the 2ww!?

Welldone on the transfers yesterday, how are you all feeling this morning?

Josie789 · 09/12/2018 09:14

Hi all, been lovely hearing such positive news!
I have to say the 2ww has been the most difficult for me, and we have only had to wait 10 days!
Is every one else having to wait 2 weeks?

Guio · 09/12/2018 09:52

@Josie789 10 days as well for me,test day will be next Monday.I guess you have to be very nervous,is it tomorrow?very brave of not testing earlier.it is going to be an absolutely nightmare.i try to keep busy but my mind is over the place and I am all the time googling implantation failure causes.

Josie789 · 09/12/2018 10:02

@guio I'm so nervous but it's my boyfriend that has stopped me testing early. I'm glad though because I think it would be hard to have a negative test early on when you are not sure if it is the correct result or not.
I have been go ogling every symptom I have had although I know that alot of the symptoms are due to the progesterone!
Where are u from guio are u flying to England for treatment?

Guio · 09/12/2018 10:39

@Josie789 I am from Spain but have been living in UK for a while.I guess it is too early for symptoms for me as it is only 1 dpt.The only thing is a tingling sensation on the vagina which I normally get before my period comes...fingers crossed for you tomorrow.is it your first?

Josie789 · 09/12/2018 10:44

@guio yea would be much too soon to know for u plus could be a symptom of the transfer?
This is our second try the first go I bled on the 6th day after transfer and sadly we had no embryos to freeze. Things are more positive this time as we have 7 frozen too!
Im absolutely dreading tomorrow! Xx

Guio · 09/12/2018 10:53

@Josie789 oh sorry to hear about the first but good news you have 7 in the freezer so you can use them later.did the clinic tell you the reason for failure?I didn't know that the period could come so early 😐.

Josie789 · 09/12/2018 10:55

No I did ask my consultant but he wasn't sure, I had a bit of a reaction to the pessaries so I wondered if it was that? I guess we will never know....

Bobby1979 · 09/12/2018 17:41

I had day three transfer on 1st December. Caved in on Friday and got a faint positive, since then have done a couple more and they’ve been negative. Guessing the trigger injection caused the positive on Friday. Anyone else at the same stage as me? I feel like I want to do more tests but will drive myself crazy!

Guio · 09/12/2018 18:03

@Bobby1979 when is you otd?I hope you get the positive again.

Bobby1979 · 09/12/2018 18:50

Thank you 😊 it is Friday 14th

LillyLeaf · 09/12/2018 20:01

How many days past transfer is everyone's OTD? If mine is 14 days (I don't know yet, I need to ask the clinic) that will be Christmas day for me!

StoneMe · 09/12/2018 21:57

Mine is 10 days (tomorrow!) Pretty sure it will be a negative though but holding on to that little bit of hope!

LillyLeaf · 09/12/2018 22:27

@StoneMe fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Wesstywoo · 09/12/2018 22:38

@LillyLeaf mine is 2 weeks - going to be hard not to do it early, especially with @Guio and @Russkispy doing theirs on day 10!

Got everything crossed for you tomorrow @StoneMe! xx

Beetroot01 · 10/12/2018 06:47
