A bunch of April IVF ladies onto another round. Graduates and waiters we like hearing from you too.

[Wesstywoo]

@Viletta I'm so sorry xx

[AliceAbsolum]

@Viletta How horrible. Reprofit is not doing a good job with us. Take time to rest and accept. When will you go for your frostie?

[Viletta]

@AliceAbsolum I think it's just down to luck. I'll go again as soon as possible. I think general recommendation is to skip one bleed?

[Viletta]

It'll be end of October then..

[Pleaseletitbeme]

OTD for me too.
Positive barely visible on the clear blue.
Looks like this very very very early pregnancy is stopping too.
Viletta... so sorry.... xxx

[AliceAbsolum]

@Viletta Yes, sames, Oct, I'm doing another fresh donor cycle so it might be different.

@Pleaseletitbeme Was it FMU? Really hope it's just an anomaly and it continues strong.

Wow we are really not having a good start to this thread :(

[Hopingforbabyd]

@Viletta I'm so sorry to hear this 😔 sending hugs ❤️

[Viletta]

@Pleaseletitbeme I'm sorry to hear this, it's so nerve-racking! I hope it sticks despite confusing lines!

[Pleaseletitbeme]

I’ve got period type pains.
So looks like this one is on its way out.

[Hopingforbabyd]

Oh @Pleaseletitbeme really hoping things don't go this way 😔 x

[Pleaseletitbeme]

I’m so disappointed. After having a strong first response test.
I’ve got period pains but no bleeding yet.... feels like that will start any minute.

[AliceAbsolum]

I really don't know. FRERs are more sensitive. I guess all you can do is FRER tomorrow and compare? Or same day blood test on Monday? What did clinic say?
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. It's not fair.

[Pleaseletitbeme]

Hi Alice. I’m So weary. Clinic closed on a weekend.
So I’m being sensible and will retest Monday.

[Hopingforbabyd]

@Pleaseletitbeme urgh! I hate those clear blue ones! I've had lines like that when there was just no way I could've been pregnant. Definitely agree with Alice and stick with FRER or clear blue digital for accurate. Still holding out hope for you x

[AliceAbsolum]

Woke up at 5am really sad and angry. @Viletta how're you doing?
@Pleaseletitbeme really hope you get strong lines today x
@Hopingforbabyd how long til your OTD? X

[Hopingforbabyd]

@AliceAbsolum you take it easy lovely it's such a hard time but you're allowed to feel all the feels. I've woken up feeling so sad 😞 I've been really hot and sweaty the last few days it's so frustrating as I'll burn up when I least expect it and it's not even that warm 😄 I didn't sleep well last night and this morning I had really noticeable AF like cramps. My OTD isn't until a week tomorrow, I'm just stressing it's failed already and I won't get to OTD again. Period should be due on Wednesday. I feel out already and extremely discouraged. Urgh! I hate the TWW. Sorry to be such a negative nancy this morning lol x

[Pleaseletitbeme]

Guys.
It’s like a fucking rollercoaster this.
So I tested again this morning.

[AliceAbsolum]

That's a good line! You're definitely pregnant xx

[Viletta]

@Pleaseletitbeme very good lines there! How are you feeling? Try to stay positive, with all the unknowns right now all seems to be going really well!

@AliceAbsolum I'm researching into new stuff that's on trial (like natural IVF with no medication when your body naturally produces just one egg, and putting the embryo into the tubes so it travels down to time endometrium receptivity window better). I will ask tomorrow to have another online consultation with my doctor in Reprofit, I want to know if they think I might have endometrium receptivity issues. Also want less medicated FET next time, my endometrium is always thick. Also will do PGD testing next time. Overall getting ready for what comes next. Emotionally this is the third failed attempt for us and each time it's easier for us to cope.

How are you doing? Do you feel you're ready for the next cycle? Hopefully next time you'll have something to freeze too. Do you have any nice activity planned for now that can be a distraction? I'm blessed to have a group of friends similar age and none of them yet trying for children, it's a good distraction going out and chatting about something other than ttc. I'm also enjoying films and books about surviving in the wild, looking at strong people overcoming difficult circumstances.

[Hopingforbabyd]

@Pleaseletitbeme that looks absolutely perfect to me 😍😍😍 xx

[Russkispy]

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. I've "met" some of you before from previous threads when I was having IVF and got BFN and then was successful and ended up with a missed miscarriage in May. We then decided for donor egg and should have started process in July when we got a surprising BFP, first natural conception! But after a rollercoaster with it, I sadly started miscarrying on Friday and just back from EPU which confirmed that I passed the sac etc then. I'm 43 and now we're definitely going for a donor egg route. And it looks like it might happen in October as it will be a frozen cycle as we will test at least 1 embryo for genetic abnormalities. My own embryo had a trisomy in 18. And doc recommended I do PGS in DE cycle too.
@Pleaseletitbeme what a rollercoaster for you! But tentative congratulations!
@AliceAbsolum and @Viletta sorry about BFN! Think we might be cycle buddies for October and @AliceAbsolum will go for another DE cycle?!
After the crap journey so far, I'm not quitting yet till I get my super special rainbow in my arms. Baby dust to us all x

[Viletta]

@Russkispy I do remember you from the previous thread. What a roller coaster journey! Hopefully a good dna embryo will implant no problem next time and grow to be a beautiful baby! Hope October will be our time! I will check with the clinic if we can start as soon as right now after af comes.. I wonder if that would be fine.

[Russkispy]

@Viletta thank you! Is your clinic in Brno? Hopefully we will be cycle buddies in October too if your clinic tells you No in September
How's everyone else doing!?

[Viletta]

Yes, Reprofit in Brno. Are you there too?

[Hopingforbabyd]

Hi @Russkispy yes I remember you! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, this is incredibly sad and I can't imagine how you must be feeling. It's lovely to hear you have a plan moving forward and I really do wish you all the best for October! Definitely enjoy all the wine all the caffeine and finding yourself in between because you really deserve it! Sending so much love x
