Hi

Couldn't see a thread for May/June - hoping that I'm not on my own for this cycle as its our 2nd cycle and feeling worried that I won't get to transfer.

Would be great to share the ups and downs with others, I'm starting buserelin next Wednesday (27th May).

@ivfgottostaypositive How interesting! Well that means I'll still be in the dark then.

@pattaz2711 No appt time, I just turn up. It's not at my clinic, it's somewhere else. They open at 7am so I was going to try and get there as early as poss, avoid the rush and then head home for the rest of the day.

@Pattaz2711

Yes unfortunately IVF actually increases the risk of ectopics rather than decreasing it - I was a bit naive about that and only found that out afterwards!

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 14:00

@ivfgottostaypositive wow I never new that an they definitely need to tell you I think when you have your consultation..

@HJF84 good luck lovely when do you get results

HT2101 · 18/06/2020 14:28

@ivfgottostaypositive gosh it sounds like you’ve been through it. Fingers crossed you get a happier ending this time.

Try to think positive @Pattaz2711 distract yourself with an afternoon on the sofa.

MrsLouB · 18/06/2020 15:01

@elleceedee thank you lovely x

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 16:21

@MrsLouB how are you been thinking of you

ivfgottostaypositive · 18/06/2020 16:29

Hi everyone so hcg results are in - 8dp5dt (13DPO) = 159

I'm a bit surprised it's not higher given that I got 2-3 weeks on clearblue this morning and usually urine tests can be up 50% lower than blood levels! I'm pretty sure it's not twins at that level but we ll see in 2 weeks! Happy it's over 100 at least! X

MorgenMuffel · 18/06/2020 16:56

@ivfgottostaypositive thats great news!

@HJF84 I'm on 2 x cyclogest pessaries, so could be increased progesterone but I definitely didn't have increased thirst last time round and was on the same meds post transfer. Not long to wait now 🤞🤞🤞

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 17:20

@ivfgottostaypositive congratulations my sweetness that is great news lovely 8days past that's really good well done hun xxxxxx

@elleceedee I've been having period pains all day an it's getting worse.. how are you?

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 17:21

@HT2101 @HJF84 how are you both I've had period pains all day today..
Hoping it's a good sign but last time wasn't

HT2101 · 18/06/2020 17:27

@Pattaz2711 see them as implantation pains not period pains...😉

I’m ok, quite a way behind you ladies as still doing my down reg injections and waiting for AF.

HJF84 · 18/06/2020 17:31

@Pattaz2711 Yes I have that. It's the progesterone. It prepares your uterus for the pregnancy, so it starts to stretch and get into shape - so similar to period pains! I've had it with every cycle - so it's not a pregnancy symptom for us IVF ladies!

@ivfgottobepositive That's great news! Yes probably not twins but it's a positive step for sure.

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 17:31

@HT2101 I down reg 2 years ago after doing my first an failing i couldn't do it again taken me this long..

Still here for you tho my sweet..

MrsLouB · 18/06/2020 18:08

@ivfgottostaypositive that's great news and numbers for the dpt xx

@pattaz2711 sorry youve got cramping but as the ladies said is just things getting ready in there.

I am not so great but i will be in time xx just got to move on now

Pattaz2711 · 18/06/2020 18:21

@MrsLouB aw hun, did you test again or are you going to wait until Saturday.. so sorry I can't do more for you hun xxx

A question lubion injections it says 3 days apart I took mine Wednesday the nurse said I have to take it Friday wouldn't that be 2 days or do the count Wednesday as a day

MrsLouB · 18/06/2020 18:36

@Pattaz2711 no there is no point i know the outcome i will sat as otd but hey ho

I would say thay that is correct i take mine every day but patches every 2 days which i changed on tues and then thursday si if every 3 days i would say its on the 3rd day. Does that make sense?

HJF84 · 18/06/2020 19:31

@Pattaz2711 I take lubion every day, so I can't be of any help - sorry!

@MrsLouB Sending you a big hug xx

Pattaz2711 · 19/06/2020 07:26

@ivfgottostaypositive when did you start
Testing an how come your clinic does it earlier..

I'm starting to Struggle lol.. an I'm only 3dp5dt fs.. lol I thought yep I'd be fine but nope here I go lol x

Everhopeful35 · 19/06/2020 07:45

@Pattaz2711 I'm with you! Really struggling already (I'm also 3dp5dt). When is your OTD? Mine is Saturday 27th. I'm trying not to symptom spot, but it's hard. The problem is, I reckon everything can be put down to my medication and the bloating I still feel from EC. Cyclogest is also not making me feel so well 

@MrsLouB Sending huge hugs xx

Everhopeful35 · 19/06/2020 07:47

Actually, I'm only 2dpo5dt 🤣 Getting ahead of myself!!

Pattaz2711 · 19/06/2020 07:47

@Everhopeful35 they've told me not to test until the 1st July.. I had frozen 5day hatching.. how many did you have put back In?
