Ivf March/April?

[bunhead34]

Hello,
Is anyone starting Ivf in March/April?
It would be nice to have some buddies.

I'm going for pre bloods and scans mid March, and expect to have egg retrieval around.

It's my first round, have been ttc for over a year and a half - unexplained infertility 🤷🏼‍♀️

@41trying- feeling good thanks. The suppositories are awfully messy though, and making boobs and nipples enormous! Otherwise doing well. How about you?

Glasd to hear, when is your OTD @Elouera

@41trying- OTD? Is that preg test day? Ironically its April Fools Day

Ahh yes hun, not too long to go then

@Lianne32 goodluck for tomorrow!
Do you know if you are getting to transfer or are you freezing?

Ladies, how did EC go today, or am I a day a head?

@41trying it's tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

@bunhead34 thanks Hun and no it’s a freeze all for me unfortunately
But it’s for the best atm xx

Good luck then@bunhead34

Good luck @bunhead34
Is it going to be freeze all for you also or are they still allowing you the option ?

Morning all, just got back from transfer, all good with good quality embryo in, so now the dreaded TWW starts
@bunhead34 and @Lianne32 how did you get on today?

Hi, can I jump in on this thread? I am in the middle of the 2WW after having a transfer on March 23rd. I have a daughter from a first IVF 3 years ago and am now trying for no 2. I had a failed cycle in July, a failed FET in August and have just had another FET. My issue is thin lining, so I got stims (Gonal F) before the transfer to get my body to produce more estrogen (I’m not good at absorbing the synthetic version). Anyway, look forward to following your IVF journeys on here!

I got 14 eggs but soMe looked dark not sure what to think or feel atm - sperm thawed fine!

In a lot of pain - how is everyone else xx

I got 8 eggs, a little bit disappointed, but trying not to be - i know it only takes one!

Feeling okay, just a tiny bit crampy

@bunhead34
8 is a good number. Don't be disappointed. You've done well to get this far. Best wishes x

Welcome @Tarsette, my fingers are crossed for you, what date is your test,
Congratulations @Buhead34 and @Lianne32, great numbers.
Hopefully @Lianne32, some with be mature, I know I had one cycle with dark and they weren't.
As everyone says it does only take one. I only had one and it's back in, so I have to keep faith now.
Are you both having to freeze?

Feel really down today been working since we were told about IVF being cancelled. Got few weeks off from today and dreading it my mind was busy now it not. Doesn't help that I come on today either. Just feel like everything that could have gone wrong has for us so far. Just don't know what to do or think anymore. Xxx

Evening @Hoping1, sorry to hear your feeling down, we are still hear to chat when you feel up to it.

Embryologist called so out of the 14, 9 fertilised normally, 1 abnormal and the rest were immature hence the dark comment xxx

That's great news @Lianne32, I hope your feeling ok

Thanks Hun, I am ok just anticipating day 3 check now how are you xx

I've had an update too - 7 out of my 8 have fertilised, so feeling relieved and hoping for a good update Monday.
Then they aim to freeze on weds.

Feeling a bit sore but not too bad.

How is everyone?

That's great news @bunhead34, fingers crossed now for a good update Monday.
I'm glad your feeling ok.
I had a few cramps yesterday and a little less today, so all good here

@41trying my test is on April 1st so not long to go now but this 2WW is crawling by so slowly... I feel absolutely no symptoms (except for the crazy bloating linked to the progesterone) but I also didn’t feel anything when I got pregnant with my daughter so trying to stay hopeful. What about you? When do you test?

So sorry for all the ladies on here that had cycles cancelled. I can’t even start to imagine how crap that must feel once you have started injections & all. I had a cancelled cycle last July (because my lining didn’t grow enough) and it was really maddening...

Wow not long then @Tarsette, mine is 10th April as only had transfer yesterday.
Problem is with lockdown we cant keep as busy as normal.
I hate pessaries nothing worse, I would rather inject
