Hi, we are starting a FET this month after a bit of back and forth with the clinic. Start downreg on Fri with ET hopefully first week of July. Wondering if anyone else cycling around the same time? X

Hi All
Lining check before the weekend and all good to go for FET on Friday. Any others similar date?

Ash75454 · 06/07/2020 13:51

Just seen your message. Good luck. Fingers crossed for a positive result

BeHereNowx32 · 06/07/2020 14:00

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip I also had my scan this morning. Good luck for you!

BeHereNowx32 · 06/07/2020 14:08

@BuffyFanForever hope you have had good news from the clinic to go with the home tests

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 06/07/2020 14:27

@BeHereNowx32
Ahh great. How did yours go?

BeHereNowx32 · 06/07/2020 14:29

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip it was all fine, thanks. Straightforward. But I’m already on google looking up when implantation takes place. What you you doing for the rest for the day?

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 06/07/2020 14:48

I’m glad yours went well. Did they give you an embryo photo? I can’t actually believe it’s happened. Feels surreal xx

I’m just having a big cuppa and some lunch.
I need to go to B&Q later but I think I’ll have a nap first! I did a Pilates class this morning and was awake with excited nervous feeling from about half 5! Xx

BeHereNowx32 · 06/07/2020 14:58

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip yes, I got a photo. Did you?
I was so nervous and emotional too. But feeling calm now.
That sounds like a good balance of relaxing and also doing things to take your mind off it all. I’ve sat on the sofa watching Netflix. But might potter about the house now. So tired too.

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 06/07/2020 15:17

Yep I got a photo. Was lovely to be able to show my husband. Sounds like you have a chilled afternoon planned. Magic for humans and Queer Eye are my recent Netflix binges!

Welcome to the next 2ww @BeHereNowx32 and @UncleBrynsfishingtrip - can't say there's a lot to report (by design!) except trying not to spot symptoms and trying to be busy and occupy your mind. Not sure to update on here- a week into pessaries and had a mildly upset system over the weekend but nothing much. Nothing to see and just a few twinges here and there so far.....

Janefx40 · 06/07/2020 16:04

@BuffyFanForever sending you lots of love and hoping the blood tests are good 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip @BeHereNowx32 congrats on your transfers! Glad you are both feeling positive

@Ash75454 good news about your transfer. I think mine will be Wednesday but maybe Thursday

Janefx40 · 06/07/2020 16:06

@SnarkWeek frustrating that plans may be changing and you have to wait longer for your transfer. Sounds like the good news is that you're responding well to stims tho xxx

Lemongrass1 · 06/07/2020 16:10

@Glitterandunicorns @JessB7777 @gemmabissell @thefishthatcouldwish welcome to the group!

@BeHereNowx32 and @UncleBrynsfishingtrip congrats on being PUPO!

@SnarkWeek great news on the follicles but I’m sorry to hear it’s looking like a freeze all. Rubbish when things change when you’d had your hopes up for a fresh.

@Janefx40 hope the tummy pains are better. Not long to go for ET!

@Ash75454 are you transferring this Fri? I have the FET this Fri too. X

Glitterandunicorns · 06/07/2020 18:56

@BuffyFanForever best of luck for the phone call!

@JessB7777 my clinic have said that after your egg collection, you must be accompanied home by someone due to the sedation.

@parkandride I hope your period turns up soon!

@snarkweek I'm sorry things haven't gone quite how you were expecting them to. I hope you're feeling ok about it after you've had time to get used to the idea.

@ash75454 and @lemongrass1 best of luck for your FETs on Friday!

@unclebrynsfishingtrip and @beherenowx32 How exciting! Best of luck!

Ash75454 · 06/07/2020 21:12

@Lemongrass1 yes, this Friday great to have a transfer buddy and @Janefx40 not too far ahead of us it sounds.
Can't believe how quick it feels its come round given all the delays with covid this year

Tarsette · 07/07/2020 07:51

@BuffyFanForever hope you heard good news from your clinic. Keeping everything crossed for you

@BeHereNowx32 and @UncleBrynsfishingtrip congrats on being PUPO! Getting the pic is great isn’t it? I was even shown a little white flash on the screen as the embryo was put in last time. Good luck on the 2WW!

@SnarkWeek sorry to hear about the lining. I have been suffering with thin lining for nearly 5 years now and it is so annoying as no one really knows what causes it or how to thicken it. I had to go through a whole process of trial and error over several cycles (with lots of weird off label experiments like taking Viagra!) I found what worked for me. But in your case, I am sure the lining issue is just due to the meds they gave you for IVF. If you never had this problem before, it is the most likely explanation. A friend of mine had thin lining during her Ivf cycle but it was back to normal by time she got round to FET (1 month later), so I wouldn’t worry about it. And great news about the follicles! Focus on getting lots of great blasts this cycle!

I am 3 days into the stims, going for a scan on Thursday to see if my lining is responding!

thefishthatcouldwish · 07/07/2020 10:48

Good luck everyone having transfers today or in TWW.

I am worrying a bit as I am stressing about my weight. I have lost weight to have IVF. Now I'm stressing as my weiging scales have broken and I am worried that I am over maximum weight. I know if anything im slightly over.

I have medication coming Thursday and consent signing Friday.

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 07/07/2020 11:14

@thefishthatcouldwish

Do not panic! If you have started the process and meds are order etc it means you won’t be weighed again. I only got weighed once right at the very beginning about 2 years ago!!

Just take each day at a time and one little thing you could try each day to keep your mind/body healthy.
Yesterday I tried a clay face mask it was cool and relaxing but took a lot of scrubbing to get off! 🤣 xx

Rovera12 · 07/07/2020 11:36

Hello ladies, good to see new members. I have been quiet for a few days as I am either having severe headaches or I am too tired before and after work.
I have been doing bad with my down reg injections, like failing to take within the time frame every morning. I also forgot to take it on Saturday and was out of the house for over 10 hours.
My Bassline scan is a week from now, hopefully it goes well as planned.

@Tarsette wow on day 3 of stims👍, hope you get positive results for your scans.

@jessB7777 @Glitterandunicorns @thefishthatcouldwish welcome to the amazing group 😁😁.

Congrats on your transfer @uncleBRynsfishingtrip and. @BeHereNowx32.

Congratulations to everyone on their TWW and all the best and positive results for all upcoming scans this week.

@SnarkWeek good to see your follicles are doing well 👍👍.

Rovera12 · 07/07/2020 11:46

@thefishthatcouldwish I don’t think you should worry too much about your weight , I have gone a little over aswell .
On my first cycle I got weighed twice before starting meds and on the morning of egg collection, the nurse was like just on point. I replied saying even if I was over there nothing they can do about it.😁😁
For this cycle I was not weighed at all. Like @UncleBrynsfishingtrip don’t panic at all, you can’t start meds and be asked to stop due to weight gain.
Eat healthy and be happy. Xxx😁

BuffyFanForever · 07/07/2020 11:50

So much luck to everyone who’s just had or about to have their FETs!!
So it was good news and the blood test was positive too. Fingers crossed 😊

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 07/07/2020 11:59

@BuffyFanForever
Congratulations!!!!!!!!! You must be so relieved abs happy as I know you’d been waiting for the clinic to call! Yay!

My clinic gave me a pregnancy test to do and then I have to call them the next day with result (as it’s a weekend). What will happen after that will I have to go in? x

BeHereNowx32 · 07/07/2020 12:01

@BuffyFanForever congrats! So exciting.

I will also have a blood test on the 15/07. Only had transfer yesterday and I am symptom spotting so much!!

How is everyone else feeling after transfer?

UncleBrynsfishingtrip · 07/07/2020 12:06

@BeHereNowx32 I woke up last night with sharp twinges so took some paracetamol but slept well after that. I feel fine today. How are you feeling today?
I’m just getting on like normal as much as I can. If I sitting still my mind just focuses on it so I’m distracting myself!

Planned to see friends and family to make the days whizz by quicker! Xx

Parkandride · 07/07/2020 12:23

Congratulations @BuffyFanForever thats brilliant news, do you have a scan date?

Still no period...
