Thanks for the well wishes for my ET. Just hope it thaws ok and the 2ww can begin!

@elleceedee yes!!! Congrats. Natural to be terrified but try to let yourself enjoy it, such lovely news. X

@Pattaz2711 How you feeling this morning? Are you still testing daily or gonna wait until the 15th?

@HT2101 I've brought some more clear blue.. honestly I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.. 😂🙈.. I'm ok still getting period pains.. I'm going for bloods this morning then visual scan on the 15th I don't think it's sunk In yet I think that's the problem.. an reading stuff etc... how are you my lovely xxx

@elleceedee ohh oy goodness im so excited for you!!!!! 💕💕 yesss!!!

Yep so we got 19 eggs and 15 fertilised welll she said 14 and they are watching one so wel see

Another update tomorrow so im nervous about it

And the nurses call me everyday to check if I have the over stimulated and theyre scaring me she keeps telling me day 5 / 6 are the worst and thars when I might have vomiting and have to go to ED.. and im like omg

I mean i feel bloated my stomach is literslly the size if a football and my boobs hurt i feel a bit sick sometimes but when I eat i feel bettrr so shes scaring me i fel like im sat here waiting to feel worse or suddenly go downhill :(

@Ails826 that's an amazing fertilisation rate! Brilliant, what a bumper crop! Hopefully you'll get quite a few to blastocyst! Just keep an eye on your symptoms but I think some bloating is normal (I looked about 6 months pregnant on stims!) plus sore boobs etc, ring them if you're worried though.

@Pattaz2711 good luck for bloods today, let us know the update.

Thanks for the congratulations ladies, I know there's a long way to go but after the past few days of feeling disappointed that it hadnt worked I want to really enjoy this excitement.

@elleceedee great news! Delighted for you.

@HT2101 sorry it will be a freeze all but at least it gives your body time to recover.

@Ails826 that is a great number of eggs and fertilisation rate!

@Pattaz2711 my scan is also on 15 July. Good luck with the blood test today.

@dbrook thank you, i need to learn to be positive im a nervous wreck !

This group is so supportive 💕💕

Congratulations @Ails826 - I bet you are over the moon!

@elleceedee - congratulations!!

Hope everyone else is all ok?

Congratulations @elleceedee amazing news!!

That's a great number fertilised @Ails826

I had my call with the clinic to plan my FET yesterday. Going to need to wait for my withdrawal bleed then the consultant us going to let me know when to start on norithisterone - I've had it not work properly before so they're having a think about timing. Hopefully we'll be transferring in August 🤞🤞 I've posted in the new August ivf thread but it's not really hot going yet. I think I might end up having my birthday during the TWW so will have to stock up on soft drinks which could pass for alcohol or family will definitely suspect something and I don't want to discuss it with them until / if we get to 12 weeks.

Hope the rest of you are having good days!

@Eggling Yes I have said the same I dont want to tell anyone until 12 weeks.
Thats going to be hard you said it was a big birthday!
Exciting for August I think I will be joining you then too. They said I have to have this period and then start the period after that which hopefully is mid august xxx

@elleceedee Congratulations!! So thrilled for you that the lines are darkening. It always feels like there's a long way to go but make sure you celebrate each hurdle overcome. This is great news.

@Ails826 Well done on such a high number of fertilised eggs, that's fab. Good luck for the calls - it's a nerve wracking time but you have a good number to play with. Sorry to hear you also have OHSS. I've started feeling just a tad better in the last 24 hours although my stomach is still like a beach ball too! Eat loads, drink loads (including Lucozade sports drinks - I swear they have really helped me) and rest up. It's nasty, but the nurses at my clinic say it should pass in a couple of weeks. Probably much shorter for you as you don't have the HCG aggravating it.

Quick update from me. Went for another blood test today and my level is now at 704 (it was 508 yesterday, 359 the day before). Clinic are now happy I have a steady rise, so I don't have to go back for another blood test until Friday now. My natural killer cells are quite high though (the normal range is apparently between 2 and 12 and I'm scoring 19). So I've had an IVIG drip this afternoon to help my immune system. xx

That’s great @Everhopeful35! Sounds like your clinic are keeping a very close eye on you.

@Dbrook Probably too close! All this monitoring is making me a nervous wreck. I still don't feel like my numbers are leaping up massively, so I can't shake the worry, but I guess only time will tell.

@Everhopeful35 I think the worry would be there anyway, I am terrified the pregnancy has stopped progressing and I don’t know it yet. I had a missed miscarriage last time. Basically holding my breath until the scan in a couple of weeks.

@Dbrook Sending you a big virtual hug. I feel exactly the same. I've also had a missed miscarriage and it's so horrible. You think it's all going fine and then you get the rug pulled from under you. What date is your scan? At what stage of pregnancy will you be then? My clinic say they'll probably do it around six weeks, which is in just over a week.

@Everhopeful35 Sending you a hug too. My scan is two weeks from today so I’ll be 7 weeks then. I’m jealous yours is in a week. My husband keeps saying I should assume I’m still pregnant until it’s confirmed otherwise but I feel like it’s the other way around.

@HT2101 @elleceedee I've had my bloods back there 2084 on Monday they was 946.4

@Dbrook starting to panic I won’t get anything to freeze!

@Everhopeful35 great that things are progressing and your clinic is on the ball with things. I did think of you yesterday when I was sat sobbing at my clinic after they said no to immune therapy, I managed to hiccup out saying I knew other clinics were so why not this one... do they test your NK Cells every time you go in for a scan?

@Everhopeful35 glad it's all doubling for you. An your clinic seems to be helping you loads which is amazing.. how many days past again are you? Xx

@HT2101 when do you find out how many will be frozen? Thinking of you.. I know a lot of clinics are freezing now an not doing fresh cycles.. sorry yours is it's another long wait for you lots of love hun xxxx

@Pattaz2711 sounds like you’re cooking along nicely! Hopefully you’re not as worried now...
As for me, Don’t think my EC will be for another 2 weeks so will have to see how that goes before I can think about any getting frozen.

Wow! lots to catch up on!

@Everhopeful35 - that's good news - are they testing you for NK cells each time? they should really on the ball.

@ht2101 - sorry I think I missed your update regarding EC, how many did you get? i didn't manage to have the 2nd embryo frozen this time so I know how it feels.

@Pattaz2711 - I wonder if it is twins but at least it going up nicely :)

my cramps have managed to disappear - not sure that;s good or bad - I'm now wondering when would be a good time to test, I know I said I'd try to wait until OTD but I kinda want to know sooner if I am our or in.

Sorry I've been a little absent lately, been struggling a little with anxiety so have given mumsnet a bit of a break as seeing all the sad posts about losses hasn't been helping.

Loads to catch up on, and congrats to all those who are PUPO, have had greats numbers of eggs collected and fertilised, and fx for you that things keep progressing.

@elleceedee congrats! Such a lucky thread x

@HT2101 I thought I missed your ec so you haven't had EC yet? Your be just fine hun.. I'm sure :).. this group is bringing lots of positives.. thinking of you xx

@Mrbay twins 😮 lol.. glad the cramping is going hun., an you know I'm impatient for testing so prob not the best to comment.. I think I've spend about £80 on test this 2 weeks.. an bloods aswell 😂😂.. fs what is wrong with me 😂😂

@Mrbay no need for apologies, you haven’t missed my EC, I’m just screwing myself up over it as last time I didn’t manage to get any embryos for ET.
How you doing? Managing to cope without the Gin and baths? When is your OTD?

Thanks @Pattaz2711 trying to stay positive! Imagine after all your worrying you did get twins 🤣

@MorgenMuffel glad to see you back. Sorry you’ve been having a tough time. X

@HT2101 aw don't worry yourself we're all here when you go to the next step.. so sorry I thought I missed your EC.. I felt bad...
oh god imagine.. 🤣🙈.. we'll find out in 2 weeks xx
