@HT2101 thanks for bringing some rationality to my irrational head. I guess I need to hope that my little embryo is getting comfy. If not, at least i can have one go at the embryo transfer before I have to do the full IVF cycIe again. I'm feeling generally bloated and sore today, trying not to worry as it is probably the progesterone.

How is everyone coping with the heat? It's way too intense for me and my Welsh genes. My little kittens have been hogging the fan all afternoon!

@Georgina125 - please don't focus on the what's and why's now, you've got a little frozen bean ready to transfer and that is amazing. Some people don't get anything and when I've read the stats on my clinic, only 50% of people get any to freeze so that means many only get the one to transfer. My friend retrieved 2 eggs, only one mature, he's now 2!
Me Too date has had 5 eggs retrieved, 3 made it to day 5 and none have stuck. This transfer I've got 2 eggs and hopefully one will stick. Unfortunately IVF is a gamble but big hugs ❤

@ht2101 - I've cracked up a lovely pear, mint and cucumber cider - heaven!!

Cracked*! Ffs

Georgina125 · 25/06/2020 18:07

@Mrbay I have a bad habit of getting way ahead of myself. I try to protect myself from further pain by gathering facts and figures so I am being realistic with my hopes. But sometimes it's necessary to live in the moment.

HT2101 · 25/06/2020 18:25

@georgina125 def live in the moment, you’re in a great position to be in!

@Mrbay you ‘crack’ me up! Enjoy your grown up drink xx

Georgina125 · 25/06/2020 18:29

One of my little kittens is keen to keep me distracted. Thought you might all like a peek at him.

@Georgina125 1 in and 1 frozen is a great outcome. I know it's so difficult, sometimes it feels like imagining the worst case scenario will help "prepare" for a bad outcome but definitely try and stay in the moment and enjoy being PUPO!

@Mrbay enjoy your g and t! We have no gin so I'm on plain t tonight. Not quite as good as the real thing!

Mrbay · 25/06/2020 18:33

@Georgina125 - don't worry, I'm the same, I've already written this transfer off as I don't think the odds are in my favour but at the moment I just take it day by day.

@ht2021 - My dyslexia is going mad tonight!!

Anyone else got really sensitive nipples?? It's too hot for them to have a standing ovation today but boy are they making sure that I don't forget about them!

Georgina125 · 25/06/2020 18:36

@Mrbay Definitely got the soreness! Very sensitive. Please bloating, making me feel hot and bothered.

EffortIsSuccess20 · 25/06/2020 18:39

@HT2101 @takingthistooseriously @Everhopeful35 @Mrbay @Eggling
Thank you so much for today I feel so silly now I'm still I a state of mind.. I think with all this ivf stuff maybe your going to feel like it as it's everything you want. An when things happen before you question everything.. I still on the nervous side as I'm still not at my OTD yet an still have 6 days yet.. I'm so sorry for having a flap and breakdown this morning.. when you guys have enough going on. But thank you..

Well done on your eggs @Mrbay & @BabySweet85

@Eggling good luck hun with your phone call..

@HT2101 how are you??

@ivfgottostaypositive thank you for your advice

Xxxx hope you ladies have had a good day xx

pattaz2711 · 25/06/2020 22:54

Is 2-3 weeks right? That further than I thought x

Dbrook · 26/06/2020 07:53

@Pattaz2711 how many days past transfer are you now?

Eggling · 26/06/2020 07:55

@pattaz2711 i think it measures from expected ovulation date rather than when you had the transfer? How many days post transfer are you now? It might just be that there's plenty of the hormone present which is a good thing!

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 07:55

@Dbrook 9dp5dt today an it was hatching it was a 5 day frozen xx

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 07:56

@Eggling 9dp5dt hatching.. I'm hoping I didn't get past 1-2 weeks last time..

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 07:57

@all morning lovely ladies how are we all this morning???

Good luck to anyone having transfers, Ec , scans, clinic calls ❤️

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 08:05

@Eggling I meant I'mhoping it will stay..

Eggling · 26/06/2020 08:05

@pattaz2711 I think that's good then as that would put you 14 days after "ovulation" so if levels are high it could easily read 2-3 weeks. It's increasing anyway which must be a good thing!

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 08:06

@Eggling thank you hun.. sorry to be such a pain xx am worrier xx

Everhopeful35 · 26/06/2020 09:16

@pattaz2711 I share your worries! It's so hard when you've had miscarriages to ever truly believe that the next one is going to work. If you're nervous, I would definitely go and get the HCG test done. I don't think you need it because your lines are darkening nicely and it's registering on Clear Blue tests, which are less sensitive, but I think the reassurance of knowing what your level is and that it's rising might be good? I'm the kind of person that worries endlessly too and having as much info as possible really helps me. x

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 09:35

@Everhopeful35 thank you.. I worry about everything.. I'm still in 2 minds what to do.. as even if I get passed the 2 week wait it's like what's gonna happen then lol.. what would you do about the bloods.. I'm so sorry to be such a pain etc xx

Everhopeful35 · 26/06/2020 09:54

@pattaz2711 If it were me, I would get the blood test. But that's only because I like as much info as possible. I think the only way to get through this is taking it two by step. Be happy you're pregnant and that things seem to be going in the right direction and then just aim for small goals - first scan etc. I'm not looking any further than Saturday, when I have my next HCG test. Baby steps is the way forward!

Ails826 · 26/06/2020 09:55

Helllo!!!
I have egg collection booked in monday I was terrified and also disappointed or just uneasy i suppose

I have 32 follicles...
And my esterogen is 11,510 and its safe to say i feel awful haha

But theyv said if we get 20 eggs or more Il have to do a frozen transfer after iv had 2 more periods it just seems so so so long away like another a 2 months i could cry

Has anyone had this or how many folicles vs how many eggs did you have? Im praying we get less eggs

Iv also read the more follicles the worse the quality of the eggs which is also amking me really worried :(

pattaz2711 · 26/06/2020 10:02

@Everhopeful35 aw ok so your having the hcg.. if I get one today it won't be back until Monday at the doctors will it? As it's private? OMG why am I getting like this lol.. I'm a nightmare... thank you for the advice an help I really appreciate it... how are you anyways my lovely xxx
