Morning Girls!

Day-3 update - both embryos are of equal quality and top grade at this moment in time and I'm booked for a day-5 transfer - I cannot believe that I am so lucky to have them both in the running.

@EffortIsSuccess20 - ah, I've raised it again with my consultant just in case but I think as I am going forward to my 4th transfer they want to do this one and then if unsuccessful remove the fibroid. We'll see. Have you had your day-3 update yet?

@Eggling - we need pictures!! Well that is if you are comfortable to post. How did your day-3 update go?

@Pattaz2711 - hope you are ok, I noticed that you've been a bit quiet yesterday.

@ivfgottostaypositive - I'm staying away with buying more tests until I get a hint on a cheaper. Regarding trigger testing, how long did it take for yours to completely go?

@Pattaz2711 - cross post! If having the bloods will put your mind at rest, then I would do it as its a very small costs in the scheme of things.

@Mrbay morning lovely... I'm ok I'm just getting emotional yesteday was so bloody hot I didn't know what to do with myself.. lol.. when do you find out yours?
I have to go up to the circle for the bloods. I would have on today but is it 48hours after or 24.. as it would take me to Saturday otherwise. What would you do? I know it might put my mind at risk then it's like what if it isn't.. my aniexty is so bad I haven't slept all night..
I was quiet yesteday as all I do when I come on here is panic an moan lol.. I don't want to get on the ladies nerves.. xx

@Mrbay p.s is it today you find out your embryos? Xx

@Mrbay sorry I've just read your post.. that's such great news for you I'm so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️🤣

@Pattaz2711 - oh that's good to know, I didn't even think about The Circle! I'm not sure I thought it doubles every 48-hrs but I could be wrong, The Circle will be able to advise. If it gives you peace of mind I would do it.

Yep, both embryos are currently top grade, so transferring on Sunday if they continue to do their thing! I'll then take the next week off so I can enjoy the weather and not have a laptop on my stomach each day.

@pattaz2711

Still getting 2-3 weeks on clearblue digital but inside the test strips look much darker so I'm hopeful tomorrow I'll get 3+. Last year my ectopic baby which had a heartbeat I got 3+ on 17dp5dt so I'd like to be earlier on this one to put my mind at rest

I think if you are anxious I'd book the blood test £35 is a good price - it's £50 here. There were a couple of days where my lines didn't look any darker but is ripped used first response after 7dp5dt and moved on to clearblue

@Mrbay

I had a visible BFP 2dp5dt which was definitely the trigger and by 3dp5dt in the morning was pretty much gone. So I knew when I got a BFP on 4dp5dt and the kind was darker that it was definitely not the trigger

I took x2 ovitrelle so total of 5,000 hcg so if you only did one then it would be out of your system sooner

(General rule of thumb is that it halves every 24 hours after the trigger)

@Mrbay ignore that's laughing face it was supposed to be a heart.. omg what is wrong with me today

*stopped

Fantastic news @Mrbay! Good luck to everyone else getting news today.

I had an interesting night last night. I left a message with the clinic to say I was having bad bloating and fullness, and also mentioned that I’d taken a positive home pregnancy test. They called back at around 5 and told me to err on the side of caution and go to A&E!! Not what I was expecting. So I spent last night getting checked out, they couldn’t scan me as the EPU was closed but took bloods and urine samples. They think it’s a mild case of OHSS if anything, or just my IBS flaring up due to the hormones. On the positive side the urine sample showed I was pregnant so that’s a relief.

@ivfgottostaypositive fingers crossed for you 3+ have you got you scan booked yet I think I read you did.. bless you I bet your anxious to.. I've got everything crossed for you... ok so move on to the clear blue ones after 7dp5dt? I've ordered 2 of the digital ones they was on eBay for £8.07 so though sod it..
yeh the bloods are £35 each.. would you do one? I know your clinic does anyways mine doesn't.. oh I don't know what to do.. I'm sorry I keep asking you I feel a right pain in the arse.. I've only got you lot to panic to lol xxx

@pattaz2711

Don't worry at all! Panic away! I hate it when people say don't test/or don't panic! Theyve most likely never experienced infertility or miscarriages. The blood test is useful to see where you are at BUT it doesn't guarantee that everything is going to continue to be fine - you'd need to have a couple of blood tests for that? I can't afford multiple blood tests which is why just monitoring with clearblue digitals x

@ivfgottostaypositive I'm sat I tears this morning maybe just my hormones.. maybe I'll go an get a clear blue one an see.. I had bloods last time an it was only £25 with isn't as much as £35.. I think once you've had miscarriages etc you panic even more na you don't get your hopes up even when you do have the positive.. I've had 3 miscarriages 4 chemical pregnancies.. lI get to the 1-2 weeks and that it.. even if we do get to the 2WW we then still have to get past to the scan an then the 12 weeks.. my head is going into over drive today.. I'm so sorry to be like this xx

@Dbrook sorry to hear you had to go to a&e hope your feeling better.. but also a massive congratulations on your BFP that great news xxx

Great news @Mrbay, are you going to put them both back in?

@Pattaz2711 don’t apologise for moaning! This is such a stressful process, you need to know you’re not on your own. When is your OTD? Or has that passed?

Oh god yes there's nothing worse than people saying "don't worry!" or "don't panic!" because IVF is the most stressful thing anyway and then when you factor in miscarriages etc I just feel super anxious the whole time! It is genuinely a miracle I haven't spontaneously combusted through worry during the past few years! Ultimately at this stage nothing will give you 100% reassurance but I think if you can afford 2x blood tests or regular digital tests then it's definitely worth it. Virtual hug to you @Pattaz2711

I feel extremely nauseous this morning - I'm only 3dp5dt so this sicky feeling is just my super high levels of progesterone from cyclogest, right?

Update. From my 8 eggs, 5 were mature and 4 fertilised via ICSI. I am happy with my fertilisation rate. No more news, I’m just booked in for. 5 day transfer on Monday.

@Mrbay congratulations on your top notch embryos.

@Pattaz2711 - thats ok, I figured it was a finger slip!

@ivfgottostaypositive - ah! My trigger tests are so faint, like barely a line so perhaps will be totally gone before transfer. I'll test again on Sunday AM to be sure.
Fingers crossed for a 3+ in the next few days.

@Dbrook - sorry you had to spend the night in A&E but that's really great news that you had a positive test as they aren't very sensitive normally.

@HT2101 - just the one for me, not sure I'd cope with two babies - that's if I got that far! If both get to day-5 the other can wait in the freezer!

@elleceedee - yep, I expect it is cyclogest - so bloody annoying that it does that.

@HT2101 @elleceedee my OTD is next Wednesday shall I put the test on here? I've got myself in a state today.. thank you. I just don't want to come on an think I'm just talking about myself.. an getting on everyone's nerves.. As @ivfgottostaypositive said even the booods can't confirm it I like to as your opinions as I know you'd give me your answers. I'm just finding this as very hard an emotional I can't sleep.. oh an as for peeing well every hour I'm on the loo.,

@elleceedee that's what I had on 3dp really sicky.. hope your ok.. and thank you..

I'm so sorry to be like this xx

@elleceedee i started cyclogest last night. Felt like such a strange thing to do and was paranoid they weren’t in far enough 🙈

just remember to wear a panty liner with cyclogest as it can stain your knickers!
If you are anything like me, every pair counts at the moments as I have a pup who LOVES them!! After my washing today, I am going to count how many pairs I have as I think I need yet another pants purchase!

@Pattaz2711 - no you crack on, I'd rather you put lots on here, than be at home worrying and have no one to speak too.
If you want too, pop your test on here. Are you taking pictures of each one you do? I wouldn't get hung up on the line colour.

@babysweet85 - are you getting a day3 update today?

@Pattaz2711 don’t apologise for your feelings. We are your support group and are here to help you sort through your feelings x

@Mrbay @BabySweet85 thank you so much.. Iam tracking evryday.. it's prob just me being me. I got this far last time think that's what I'm worrying for.. an hubby is driving me mad he's actually really annoying lol.. I can't stand to be near him atm 😂🤣..

As for cyclogest yes it leave stains everywhere lol.. which isn't nice I keep thinking right I'll put a pad in an then I forget an it's to late..

I think when you see the test your be like what you worrying for.. why am I worrying.. why am I crying lol.. I feel so stupid xx
