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

Oh god I dread the pessaries @41trying 🙈🙈oh well! The things we have to do!!

More ETs tomorrow then!! Good luck to @Rovera12 @MissHoney85 & @Feline123 xxx

Feline123 · 17/01/2020 22:03

Thanks all, and best of luck to everyone else with ETs over the weekend! 🤞🏻☘️

Bestofyou1982 · 17/01/2020 22:05

@HJF84 think we will be similar times. I'm due to have frozen embryo transfer Tuesday or Wednesday.
How are you feeling? Have you started the pessaries yet?

Rovera12 · 17/01/2020 22:26

@BambiOnIce80 thank you. I feeling anxious about tomorrow being that I last had day 3 update. Fingers crossed 🤞

Rovera12 · 17/01/2020 22:28

Thank you @Minster2012. Wishing @Feline123 @MissHoney85 success tomorrow.

HJF84 · 17/01/2020 22:34

@Bestofyou1982 You'll be a few days ahead of me, but it'll be nice to know someone is going through the TWW as well - it's such a rollercoaster. Not yet. My day zero will be Sunday, so I start them then. Looking forward to that (not!) - that reminds me, must add panty liners to my Tesco shop.

As it's my third cycle, the clinic has me on steroids and injectable progesterone as well. God only knows what the side effects will be. Anyone know?

Bestofyou1982 · 17/01/2020 22:49

Good luck to all of the ladies with egg transfers this weekend. It's all getting very real now. 🤞

twinkleyes35 · 18/01/2020 02:23

Good luck to everyone who's starting stimms, going for EC or ET.

Just reading everyone's comments make me feel assured that I am not alone in this process and Virtual help is available here Smile.

I may not post as much not used to it yet but appreciate everyone just putting it out as it is and that itself make lot of difference I. Someone like me reading SmileTHANK YOU to you all x

My latest update EC on Monday getting nervaoua but bit relaxed after reading comments who has passed that stage -- thanks for strength x 🙏🏻☺️xx

Lily999 · 18/01/2020 06:40

Good morning! Another exciting day for our group, 3 ETs, then @BambiOnIce80 tomorrow and @twinkleyes35 on Monday wow things are moving forward!
First injection done last night, 150ml Gonal-F, trying to look back in the thread, could you please remind me of your doses? No idea if 150 is high or low... thank you!!
@twinkleyes35 Monday is so close, weekends always go quicker ;)

Chooklass · 18/01/2020 06:48

Well done @Lily999 ! I'm on 150IU follitropin, which is similar (same?) drug. Seems to be standard dose. I'm also on short/ mild IVF. Day 10 stim injections done! Come on follies - GROW!! 😃

Good luck today everyone! Xx

We're always here @twinkleyes35 💖 I think my delicate psyche might have snapped if it wasn't for all the support from all these lovely ladies! Infertility/IVF are very isolating things and this thread feels like a remedy for that.x

@Lily999 I did long protocol and I was on 225IU of gonal-f, so from your dose it sounds like they think you're going to respond really well 😊🤞🏻

Chooklass · 18/01/2020 06:52

@HJF84 I might be TWWing around the same time - EC expected Weds so ET 3 or 5 days after 🤞. I'm dreading the TWW most out of all this process.

OP posts:
MissHoney85 · 18/01/2020 07:32

I'm so nervous about ET this morning! Last had an update on Day 2 so I'm dreading getting there or getting a phonecall and being told they've all stopped developing since then. Crossing everything! Will let you all know how it goes...

LBJ2410 · 18/01/2020 07:39

@MissHoney85 good luck.. PMA 😘

UnicornPuff · 18/01/2020 07:45

Good luck @MissHoney85 @Feline123 and @Rovera12 with ET today. Let us know how it goes.

I have ET scheduled for monday. Had day 2 update yesterday to say all 5 still going but some showing some fragmentation. We dont hear anything else till Monday which I guess is a trial run for the TWW!

FlapJackered · 18/01/2020 07:50

Good luck everyone with ETs today! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@UnicornPuff I think I will be Monday too. Fingers crossed our embryos hold on until then.

So apparently I told the anaesthetist that I loved him after the EC 🙈 I thought he was my husband apparently. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Lily999 · 18/01/2020 08:07

Haha @FlapJackered that made me giggle, so cute! :)
Thanks for the dosage infos, things started to make sense now, @Chooklass cheering for our follicles to grow with everything I've got! :)
Good news please come for the ET girls! And @UnicornPuff try to keep your weekend busy hope you'll find distractions to kill the time.
Also realised it's not 150ml, it would be like sending a cup of Gonal f in there lol, it's 150IU.
Don't feel any different today, but can't wait to get the second dose (I am aware it's crazy, but can't help it...)

HJF84 · 18/01/2020 08:07

@chooklass we'll be turning this thread into a TWW thread by the looks of it 😂

@misshoney85 Good luck!

UnicornPuff · 18/01/2020 08:21

@FlapJackered that's brilliant, bet you made his day!

Lp1202 · 18/01/2020 08:26

Hi everyone, is anyone in the same position as me? I’m having ICSI. Had egg collection 25th October and embryo transfer 30th October. Got positive pregnancy test and then had a MC 22nd November. Hospital decided to go for natural cycle this time with no injections or medication due to me having regular cycles. Had a period on Christmas Day and started ovulation testing, rang on high ovulation day and had frozen embryo transfer on 12th Jan. I’m now on 2ww and feeling cramps. Really anxious and nervous because of the MC - anyone else in the same situation?? Xx

Melissa1983 · 18/01/2020 08:37

Good Morning Ladies

Good luck to everyone with ET today I will be thinking of you.

@Lily999 I started on 375 menopur, dropped to 225 on day 5 and now just 75.

How was the trigger shot (ovitrelle)? Mines tonight and I'm nervous because it's something new

Rovera12 · 18/01/2020 08:44

Good morning everyone, @Lily999 I was on 150iu

Lily999 · 18/01/2020 08:49

Thank you @rovera12 can I ask if you know what you AMH was? Will be thinking of you at 10 today!

Lily999 · 18/01/2020 08:53

Oh, sorry just remembered you we not told about your AMH, only you know your twin's :) fingers crossed for your embies this morning! Flowers

MissHoney85 · 18/01/2020 09:00

So I had one blastocyst, but it didn't have as many cells as it should so not great quality. Also had a morula, which is the stage it should have been at yesterday so even poorer quality. They decided to put both in as neither have a great chance. Feeling surprisingly relaxed about the whole thing. At least I prepared myself for the possibility of having nothing, so having some kind of hope left feels like a bonus. Not holding my breath for a positive result, but this is my first cycle so I guess that would have been very lucky. I'm going to try (!) To stay off Dr Google as much as possible for the next 10 days and just relax a bit knowing that this cycle is done, whatever the outcome. Good luck to all your other ladies having ET today!
