@marmite83 congrats congrats congrats 😘😘😘 can’t wait to hear for more BFPs this month!

doomkittycleo · 18/11/2019 12:32

@Marmite83 hi hun, I got my bfp as well. I’m 5 weeks and 2 days today. Got my viability scan next Monday so fingers crossed 🤞.

carleygh · 18/11/2019 12:55

Lots of lovely news @Marmite83 @doomkittycleo sending positive vibes x

Marmite83 · 18/11/2019 13:29

That's fantastic news @doomkittycleo, congratulations!!

seven201 · 18/11/2019 13:45

@Marmite83 I've been wondering how your cycle went but I didn't want to ask just in case! That's such amazing news, congratulations! Everything crossed for you.

Is a natural cycle FET just where you use one of your frozen ones? Another stupid question, 'a cycle' is the egg collection and then using up any good frozen ones you have, right? So two cycles is actually sort of quite a lot of goes (assuming you get enough eggs that fertilise)?

We're going to use the access fertility too and probably the 2 cycle deal. The 2 year unlimited deal is kind of tempting but obvs a lot more expensive and hoping we wouldn't need it.

I don't live in London so can't use ABC but I've got a friend who really likes/rates them.

@doomkittycleo great to hear all is going well with you.

Thank you @seven201, a natural FET is a natural Frozen Embryo Transfer. The transfer is done without using drugs to control my body's natural cycle but for me still involved taking progesterone pessaries and a couple of progesterone injections either side of the transfer date. There was also a possibility I might take a trigger injection but I didn't need to in the end. I've had one fresh cycle and one FET cycle so only one lot of egg collection so far. The two cycle deal with Access Fertility is 2 fresh cycles and as many FETs as you have embryos for. We have 2 more embryos frozen and would then be able to do another fresh cycle if we still don't get our baby. If you got a few embryos from your fresh cycle, a 2 year unlimited package may actually include less than a 2 cycle anyway. Hopefully that makes sense.

Aww congratulations @doomkittycleo and @Marmite83! It's good to hear that life doesn't stop after Clomid Grin

I'm getting a bit bored of this brown non-period now... third day of it and no signs of it changing into anything else! I did get mixed up and today would actually be predicted CD1, rather than yesterday, but I'm now wondering whether it's just a complete coincidence and is some PCOS spotting. Eugh.

Will leave til Wednesday now I think, then do a test and start my next round Thursday!

Chichz · 18/11/2019 16:40

@CharlotteCx any news?! X

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 16:46

@Chichz still no sign of AF! It should deffo be here by tomorrow if I'm not pg as I ovulated on 4th November and I have a 15 day luteal phase, but Iv not started spotting yet. I am a bit crampy down there but don't feel like the usual cramps. X

Chichz · 18/11/2019 16:48

Oooh exciting! When did you say you were going to test? X

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 16:56

@Chichz I'm going to test on Wednesday if I haven't come on but ideally I should deffinatly come on tomorrow. I'm nervous to test though 🙈 x

Chichz · 18/11/2019 17:00

@CharlotteCx I think you have a really good chance - you know when you ovukate and I seem to remember you were insistent on DTD around that time!! Grin

Let us know how you get on. X

Chichz · 18/11/2019 17:00

Ovulated that was meant to be.

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 17:02

@Chichz I didn't know weather I ovulated on the Sunday or the Monday as I had the peak on Sunday and lots of EWCM the Sunday evening - but as I say today has confirmed i ovulated the Monday because I have a 15 day luteal phase. Do u no what I mean?

Yes we'll we dtd the Thursday, Monday and Tuesday. Didn't the Saturday and Sunday as we had a row 🤣🙈
Yes I'll let you know! X x

Chichz · 18/11/2019 17:05

Haha yes, please do! X

seven201 · 18/11/2019 18:09

@Marmite83 thank you for the information
Action. Makes sense and it's reassuring that actually the two cycle deal could be better. I really hope this one is a sticky bean for you x

@CharlotteCx hope you get your bfp!

Goingbacktokansascity · 18/11/2019 18:17

@CharlotteCx great will power, I’ve tested so many times already.

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 18:22

@seven201 thanks so much

@Goingbacktokansascity I think it's more being terrified of seeing the dreaded BFN 🙈 still feeling sicky and super sensitive nipples! Had little cramps here n there earlier but they've gone again. No sign of AF as of yet 🤞🏻

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 18:23

Ladies, am I right in thinking that our luteal phases don't change cycle to cycle?

dragonfly1978 · 18/11/2019 18:44

Anyone else taking norethisterone before Clomid and very moody??!! I have been sobbing one minute then irrationally annoyed the next 😂

Chichz · 18/11/2019 18:53

@dragonfly1978 I took it to bring on a bleed earlier this year. Horrible! I much prefer Provera. X

Goingbacktokansascity · 18/11/2019 18:58

@CharlotteCx I would have said normally yes but my luteal phase was 10 days last month when usually 14 so who knows a

CharlotteCx · 18/11/2019 19:09

@Goingbacktokansascity oh that is strange!

Beth804 · 18/11/2019 20:09

@Marmite83 @doomkittycleo Congratulations!!! Really hope they're sticky beans for you - you deserve it! Think positive! X
