@veeboo
It’s NHS funded - one full ivf round including transfers of the embryos from that cycle. I wish it was three but there we are. There isn’t much waiting in my area - the longest wait was the gp sorting the referral out and the tests done (6m!) since being referred to the hospital clinic and then to the ivf clinic I’ve been so lucky where I live waiting times are short.

veeboo · 03/07/2019 07:52

@GreyC of course sorry you did say that yesterday when you explained how it works. I get everyones stories mixed up sorry!

Kelly199 · 03/07/2019 10:05

@veeboo it's a lot isn't it? I think I'll see what he says on Saturday and I'll probably go again soon in this cycle and see how it is, but otherwise I won't go as often as that!
Ok thank you. Hoping I come out feeling positive! Xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF great news about your levels!! Your symptoms only started after you found out then really? I'm always curious as I know whatever I may feel during tww probably won't mean anything until after missed af?
Hope you're doing ok. Exciting for you with your scan coming up!!
I'm ok thank you. Yeah have been a little down. Just think because I'm on forth clomid now and nothing so 2 more left and then a wait to be referred again. Trying to stay positive. Hopefully the acupuncture will help! Xxx

@squirrelnutkins1 that sounds good then doesn't it? I'll enquire when I go.
I had heard it's a cancer drug, but loads of people are on it so it must be good to use for fertility? It is horrible though as I feel the same with clomid with me being on the 4th month of it now! Will have to see what the fs says next Thursday! Did they just go through options when you went last time? Sorry I think you've already said but can't remember? Hope you're feeling ok xx

Kelly199 · 03/07/2019 10:06

Hope everyone ok today xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 03/07/2019 19:02

I think I’m out I’ve had cramps today and have just started bleeding really heavy have called the emergency number and told me to up the progesterone to four a day and see if that settles it they will ring me tomorrow as might have to go in and get progesterone injections aswell but my cramps are like proper period pains now so not feeling hopeful! Sad

Kelly199 · 03/07/2019 19:54

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF so sorry to read this!! Hopefully everything will be ok and the progesterone will settle everything.
Take care of yourself and let us know how you are. Fingers crossed the bleeding and cramping stops for you ❤️❤️

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 03/07/2019 19:59

@Kelly199 thankyou ❤️

squirrelnutkins1 · 03/07/2019 20:36

Big hugs @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF really hope the progesterone settles things. We're all here for you ❤️

I'm sorry to hear this @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF, such a scary time. Hope that the increased progesterone will help with the bleeding. When is your scan, this Friday or next? Sending positive thoughts xxx ❤️

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 03/07/2019 21:11

Thanks @squirrelnutkins1 just feel numb! Xx

@venusStarr it’s a week on Friday they won’t scan me before just not sure how I’ll cope with another week on uncertainty but thankyou xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF thinking of you x

veeboo · 04/07/2019 06:48

@finallytakingtheplungewithivf I am sorry you're going through this. I hope the fact they have advised more progesterone means that may resolve whatever is happening. Thinking of you.

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 04/07/2019 07:49

Thankyou @GreyC @veeboo @VenusStarr
It was a long night but it has slowed down still spotting not feeling hopeful though! Waiting for the clinic to call to see what they want me to do hoping the my call soon otherwise I might get in the phone to them! Have phoned in sick can’t think about work today xx

VenusStarr · 04/07/2019 08:03

Hopefully the clinic will be supportive and have a plan @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF. Taking the day off is a good idea. Don't put any pressure on yourself, just do what you need today ❤️ Xx

@squirrelnutkins1 @Kelly199 thankyou jist got back from the clinic now on progesterone injections once a day pessaries 3 a day and the progynova 4 a day! It’s pretty much stopped but am expecting the worse xx

Kelly199 · 04/07/2019 12:20

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF glad they're doing everything they can for you. I know it's hard, but try to be positive as good news bleeding is stopping and hopefully the injections and pessaries will help. I know it's a really stressful time for you. Sending lots of hugs. ❤️ xx

Glad it's starting to ease off @finallytakingtheplungewithivf. Keep us updated. Sending bets wishes.

I had a bfn today at 10dpo and am going to test again tomorrow then wait for AF to arrive right smack in the middle of our holiday. I just popped on to say I'm going to delete the app for the week and chill so I will see you all on the other side!

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 04/07/2019 19:26

@veeboo thankyou! Enjoy your holiday xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 04/07/2019 19:28

Thanks everyone just going to continue on as normal might take a test in a few days see what’s what! Just hoping for a good nights sleep tonight am absolutely exhausted!

Hope everyone else is ok!

@veeboo meant to say sorry you got bfn but your not out yet so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Kelly199 · 04/07/2019 20:49

@veeboo fingers crossed, it's not over yet! No problem! Have a lovely holiday. Hope you get a nice break xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF Hope you'll have a good sleep tonight. Try not to worry, I'm feeling positive for you that what they've done for you will do what's needed! Xx

squirrelnutkins1 · 05/07/2019 14:22

@veeboo have a fab hol!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF how are you today hun? Thinking of you lots xx

How is everyone? There are a few who have gone quiet, hope you're all ok.

I'm finding the exhaustion from the Letrazole crippling. Really didn't feel too well this morning, really tired and headachy. I took my last one yesterday so hopefully the side effects will wear off soon.

Happy Friday to everyone. The sun is still shining! Come on summer, we can do this! x
