@WorriedButterfly still waiting for AF so I can start the ball rolling. Big sigh

Viletta · 30/11/2019 16:50

@Pleaseletitbeme hope this time it works out despite slow responders and everyone! Good like for ec!

@Russkispy I'm not too bad actually! Not sure if counseling helped but I feel very relaxed and festive! Next FET mid January, I've got my stash of meds and all sorted. So trying not to think about it. My only worry now is trying to lose some weight till then. I'm BMI 28 and was 25 when I started IVF. I've been spoiling myself and got a health coach to work with me till mid January. How are you doing? Have you had more tests done? How are you feeling about Christmas coming?

@Hopingforbabyd glad to hear you are doing well! Wouldn't it be lovely to celebrate Christmas pregnant :))

@AliceAbsolum how are you hun? Hope you are more relaxed now when the scan went so well and enjoying festivities :)

@viletta I'm OK I think! Still scared everyday that I've had a mmc and don't know it... But! I'm trying to stay positive. Just getting through til 13th Dec when we're going for another scan at 9+1. Maybe after that one I'll relax a bit more!

Good to hear everyone’s stories.
Did the trigger shot at 1:30am today.
EC tomorrow afternoon.
I’m trying to be positive but it’s so hard...
Praying for the “3rd time lucky” or a Christmas miracle.

Good luck @Pleaseletitbeme hope it goes well.

I had mine earlier 5 eggs. Better than last time, just hoping they're good ones. X

Pleaseletitbeme · 02/12/2019 13:01

WB thanks.
I hate the waiting bit!
Congratulations on 5! Numbers I can only dream of.
Let’s hope they all fertilise for you over night. Xxx

5 is brilliant really, could get 2 or 3 blasts out of that. Especially with the Dhea. I'm convinced that's what got my 1 egg to blast.

Oh I'm sorry @pleaseletitbeme You're really going through it.
It's not OK that the sedation wasn't enough, not OK at all.
Hope you can rest now and reassess in the morning.
Take lots of care xxx

WorriedButterfly · 02/12/2019 18:38

Keeping fingers crossed for you @Pleaseletitbeme, it's such a rollercoaster, all this waiting and nit knowing! Hope you're recovering this evening with some treats x

Wesstywoo · 02/12/2019 19:20

Fingers crossed for you @Pleaseletitbeme xx

Pleaseletitbeme · 02/12/2019 20:13

Thanks guys.

Russkispy · 03/12/2019 07:54

@Viletta still waiting for AF! So annoying ffs don't think I'll get ERA tests done this cycle because of Christmas and I don't want to delay transfer in January. So I'll get all other tests done. Hopefully that will suffice.

@Pleaseletitbeme crossing everything for you!

Russkispy · 03/12/2019 07:55
