Wesstywoo · 06/12/2019 22:08

I'm due a update tomorrow (day 3) but not feeling confident!

Best of luck tomorrow ladies!!! Smile @WorriedButterfly @Pleaseletitbeme

@WorriedButterfly @Pleaseletitbeme good luck tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Wesstywoo 🤞🏻to the good news!

WorriedButterfly · 07/12/2019 08:14

Hope the update is positive @Wesstywoo. X

Good luck @Pleaseletitbeme x

Thank you @Russkispy x

@Viletta - I had to get into the mind set I could leave if I needed to before saying anything - bit drastic but equally not if it meant I was successful. I had a newish manager based in Houston, where they're not that sympathetic to time off. But I called her and just told her and she was so good and really supportive- she's only told me to relax once! The relief afterwards was worth it - go for it, you shouldn't have to use up all your holiday - it's a time you definitely need holiday as holiday! (I wouldn't suggest the sick leave is holiday though - just that you're burnt out and need time out) Good luck! X

Viletta · 07/12/2019 09:28

Thank you ladies! I will let you know how I get on, the conversation is next week. I hope in January when I do FET it's going to be sick leave.. tricky as I'll need to fly to Czech for it. Our company launched a big mental health support system so hopefully this would somehow be applicable to me too. I know that some companies have sick leave for IVF. Maybe I should raise awareness for our company globally heh

Disaster.
It’s slow. Not at blastocyst stage.
Implanted anyway.
Devastated.

Wesstywoo · 07/12/2019 14:23

Disaster over here too - also slow so they've put it back at day 3 and told me to be realistic

So sorry you guys 😕 Its awful only having one. It really is. There are not many words of comfort at this stage. Obviously I hope they stick and all is well, but the wait when you didn't have a blast transfered must be a massive headf*ck.
Sending lots of love your ways xxxz

Sorry it hasn't been as positive as hoped, we really don't need more stress at this time, I feel for you. X

Transfer went ahead for me. Not massively positive due to being ill! Rubbish timing, but they seemed happy to continue. X

Russkispy · 07/12/2019 21:45

@Pleaseletitbeme and @Wesstywoo sorry to hear that but I'm so hoping and praying it will result in a BFP! I'll be crossing everything for you!

@WorriedButterfly and for you too!

AFM, AF finally arrived this morning! Thank god! Flying home/to my clinic next weekend for hysteroscopy and blood tests 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Wesstywoo · 08/12/2019 08:41

Thanks ladies - this is definitely a bit of a low point in this journey and to add to it I have to carry on with the hideous injectable progesterone daily for the next 2 weeks when it's highly unlikely to work!!

Glad all went well @WorriedButterfly, I have everything firmly crossed for you!

@Russkispy glad to hear AF has arrived, the waiting throughout all of this is just the worst!!

Hope everyone is ok xx

Pleaseletitbeme · 08/12/2019 10:30

Hi WW,
I feel exactly the same as you.
Just seems totally pointless.
This was our last go.... well you can’t really describe it as a proper last go....
I’ve ran out of big money for this.
My Dad has said he’ll sell his vintage tractor and we can have the money for one last round.
I’m slowly beginning to think about using donor eggs if the next attempt doesn’t work.
I’m going to try a new clinic too. Although I can’t fault our present one... I’d just like a second opinion.

Thinking of you all xxx

I just can't see how this can be OK. There is a huge amount of bleeding.
18 hours and still waiting for a scan
