Dec/ Jan IVF support #2

[Chooklass]

First thread is filling up fast so I thought I'd get a new one ready so we can keep on supporting each other through this crazy journey! Will post a link in old thread 😊xx

From what I understood @Lily999 the quality is less to do with odd/ even numbers and more to do with consistency/ evenness of cell size? At my ET the embryologist said we had 4 with 7 cells, one high quality (nice and even) and three less even so less good quality.

Thank you @Chooklass that's very helpful!

I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow @Lily999 @Stace999 @rainbow178 💖

Thank you @BambiOnIce80 and huge congratulations for your BFP!! You deserve it, couldn't be happier for you!

Great news @rainbow178 that’s so good! I hope you are relaxing in advance of tomorrow, as well as @Lily999 & @Stace999 how are you relaxing for your last day prior to transfer 🤔
Do you guys get progesterone tests the day before transfers btw?

@FlapJackered no 4am wake up due to progesterone yet but only 2 nights so far on it & night one I had 1am excruciating wake up pain where I was perched on edge of bed & walking around trying to stretch out & toddler woke for a whinge at 3.40am anyway though we don’t have to go into him now it still wakes me & night two slightly less pain but still woke me to stretch out & then DH woke me snoring at 5.05 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️When it was my morning for a toddler free lie in!

I was thinking about the supplements I've been taking so far and wondered if anyone's changing the vitamins they're taking?
I've stopped with the dhea and evening primrose oil but have continued with proceive vitamins and folic acid.

I stopped Co Q10 after EC but have been continuing with conception mulit-vit with folic acid @Dia12

Like @Chooklass I've stopped the CoQ10 but continued taking 25ug of vit D3, 1000mg omega 3 fish oil and upped my folic acid to 5mg (just because I read on the NHS website that you should take that much if you have a family history of neural tube defects and my mum had mild spina bifida).x

@Minster2012 I am not really doing anything different to normal. Took the dog for a long hilly walk, cooked a roast and now just chilling in front of the TV.
Pretty sure we don't get a progesterone test I'm on pessaries 3 x per day so not to worried.
@Dia12 I'm on folic acid and a prenatal vitamin so will just continue with those. Was on proxeed but have stopped taking those for now.

@Stace999 awww sounds lovely and the perfect way to spend your day/evening!

Wishing you guys @rainbow178, @Lily999 & @stace999 the best of luck tomorrow for a great transfer 🥰

Good luck with the transfers ladies! See you over on TWW thread later! 🍀xx

Morning! We are going to leave the house at 10. So it's 1,5hours to get to the clinic and I was thinking would they call if we didn't have any surviving embryos to transfer? It would be awful to find it out there and also make the 3hour trip for no reason would be awful :(

@lily999 yes you would imagine so, definitely they’d tell you xx

Thanks, I'd hope they check them in the morning and not just when we actually arrive..

I'm in at 4pm so a long time to wait but hoping to go out for lunch as a nice little treat and got my Acupunture at 1.30 to relax me.

Good luck all!!

Happy ET day ladies! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 Remember to binge watch lots of comedies once you've got your embies on board - research shows that serotonin helps implantation! 😄 Seems to have worked for me too 😉

Thank you @BambiOnIce80, what did you watch? I was gonna give Stranger a shot, but then it might not be the best choice :D
We are on our way, can't wait to find out whether we have an embie to take on board!

I find Iliza Shlesinger absolutely hilarious @Lily999 and her stuff is on Netflix, so if you haven't come across her before then I would start working my way through those in chronological order and see if she's your cup of tea 🍵 😉

Oh, and my clinic said that they'd ring us on the morning of ET if all of our embies had failed so that we wouldn't have a wasted trip 👍 No news is good news 😁

@Lily999 eeek massive good luck. My clinic said they would call if there were any issues so I'm sure yours would have been checked this morning.
We are leaving at 11.30ish it's about 1hr 15 to the clinic in at 1pm just trying to focus on doing some work at home this morning.
I've booked meetings tomorrow so will be back out and about hoping that will be OK just want to carry on as normal.

@Stace999, @rainbow178 & @Lily999 (and others @BambiOnIce80) for the recommendation front, having just been unwell I was recommended The marvellous Mrs Maisel on amazon prime, it might be on Netflix now but it started on prime & ive watched the first episode & pretty funny looking so far so I’m keeping that til after ET on Friday for my ET chuckles! It seems to be aimed at women!

Oh and I got the 3.40am awake progesterone fun last night 😫yay

Good luck with the transfers! @Stace999 @Lily999 @rainbow178 ! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🤞🤞🤞
I am with @BambiOnIce80 about the comedies, I watched Michael Macintyre back-to-back and keep warm!

@Minster2012 progesterone insomnia is a joy isn't it! I was 2.30am this morning. I feel like a zombie. 😴

@FlapJackered it certainly prepares you if you do get BFP that’s for sure how cruel 🙈😂

@Minster2012 @FlapJackered that is so weird- I have been waking up in the middle of the night feel wide awake and wasn't sure why- is it the progesterone!? Bonkers!
