New March/April IVF thread.

I'm Alice, 34, TTC1 for 3 years 4 months. Currently 4 days into a short ivf protocol with max dose of stims as my AMH ran away last year. Its my only NHS funded cycle and my last chance to have a child that's genetically mine. /fingers crossed/

Oh crikey.....
Thanks guys. Xxx

Pleaseletitbeme · 09/05/2019 10:29

Thanks guys.
Alice, where can I get one of these tests?

Hopingforbabyd · 09/05/2019 10:38

@pleaseletitbeme in that case I would say that is a bfp!! You can get first response from most supermarkets. Are you in the UK? Or maybe a clear blue digi? X

mouse1234567 · 09/05/2019 10:42

@Pleaseletitbeme that looks postive to me but if you can’t get hold of FRER you could get a clear blue pregnant not pregnant one? Any decent pharmacy should sell-boots are good. It must have been implantation bleeding that you had!

Hopingforbabyd · 09/05/2019 10:44

Keep strong @Aliceabsolum you got this!! Hopefully lots of cramps is a good sign for you? Did you cramp after ET? I kept waking up in the night with light period like pains and back ache. The instruments she used made everything a little ouchie and I’m just worrying how my lining is doing as they didn’t tell me how thick it was only on last scan before EC. Do the pessaries stop a period? X

LeanneMFord · 09/05/2019 12:02

My 3 tests! I think I'm paranoid still got 3 days until my blood test 🙈 x

Alice... let’s hope your discomfort is a positive thing.

I’m on my way to boots to ransack the pregnancy tests!

@Pleaseletitbeme congratulations my lovely this is great news!! Parrrtyyyy!
Hope these good vibes continue on in the group :)

Got my first scan tommorow so I'll know if the medication is having any effect, fingers crossed!

@Hopingforbabyd started Fyremadel this morning, OMG that needle is thick!

Day 5 of stims today-feeling Very tired :( :(

mouse1234567 · 10/05/2019 07:21

@leannemford @pleaseletitbeme many congrats -how exciting!

I’m currently in surgical reception waiting for my hysteroscopy -feeling quite sick and nervous now!! This journey goes on and on! On the upside though -it is with my consultant who I really rate and trust and I think I might be first on the list so hopefully will all be over soon!

AliceAbsolum · 10/05/2019 07:33

@mouse1234567 good luck, all worth it to get going again. You're in good hands, remember they do it day in day out x

Good luck Mouse for today.

My next step is a scan on the 31st.

Hope everyone is ok.

AliceAbsolum · 10/05/2019 18:14

Ladies I am going out of my mind! Coped OK so far but lost the plot today. Wednesday seems so far away.
I spent 20min researching private hcg beta blood tests before realising it would pick up the trigger shot Hmm

Twiglet2353 · 10/05/2019 18:43

Girl your restraint is better than mine! I just peed on a stick and then again the next morning and I saw it as if it got darker it was a pos 😉 @AliceAbsolum. But seriously though, I'm sending you strong vibes!

AliceAbsolum · 10/05/2019 19:02

Ahh but I'd be worried if I went for a wee at like 2am vs 4am on how much it would effect the line.... Nuts really.
