Starting a new thread!

Good luck tomorrow @MrsLouB and @HJF84

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

@HT2101 oh that’s so rubbish they couldn’t freeze. Are you not able to do a fresh transfer? How are you feeling? X

@all how is everyone?

@Dbrook when's your next scan? How you feeling now xx

@HT2101 that's sad to hear is any being transferred back.. ivf is Such an emotional hurdles sending lots to you my lovely xx

I'm bleeding really badly now an Ive called they on call doctor she is lovely an been booked into the early pregnancy clinic again.. I just feel like absolute rubbish atm it's just never ending

I'm sending lots of love to all my strong Ivf lovelies on here.. honestly these last few months you have become like my virtual family ❤️

Next scan is Wednesday @pattaz2711. I’m not bleeding yet so going to ask if we can do a D&C and then test the remains. I’m doing ok, functioning on a superficial level but totally emotionally and physically exhausted.

So sorry to hear you’re bleeding again. What time is your EPU appointment?

@Dbrook they won't see me I've just had a call cause I had a scan on Saturday.. they said there's people needing scans an what will be will be xx

@pattaz2711
Sorry you are having a tough time again

@Dbrook
I'd definitely see if you test the remains - I always wished I'd done that on mine to help give some answers

@pattaz2711 sorry they’ve left you in limbo again. Can they at least scan you next Saturday so they can compare the scans a week apart?

@ivfdreaming having said I wasn’t bleeding yet I just went to the bathroom and saw blood. Hope they won’t tell me to just let it happen naturally instead of doing a d & c.

Hi all - i am okay - just waiting for my 7 week scan and hoping it is good news. Sending lots of love to everybody having a tough time xxx

Morning how is everyone doing? X

Morning ladies,

@BabySweet85 I did have a fresh transfer on Saturday, and now driving myself crazy symptom spotting and convincing myself it hasn’t worked. I haven’t had any implantation bleeding and don’t really feel any different. I’ve heard people say so many times ‘you just know, you have a feeling’ so I’m just worrying.

@HT2101 I haven’t had any implantation bleeding either. I am 5+6 at the moment and have only just recently started to get sore breasts. But in the first week or two after transfer I didn’t feel any differently at all. I also had a car crash after my transfer and still got a BFP after a huge amount of worrying so you never know! Congratulations on your fresh transfer and being PUPO! X

Thanks @BabySweet85, that means a lot xx

@HT2101 I honestly wouldn't worry about no symptoms - it can vary so massively and is no guarantee of success at all as could just be down to the progesterone etc. When is OTD for you?

@Dbrook how are you? Do you still have a scan scheduled for today?

@Everhopeful35 hope you are doing ok.

@pattaz2711 how are you?

@BabySweet85 the wait for the scan is worse than the 2ww I think! I've got my scan on Friday (was originally a different day but got them to change it) when I'll be 7+2 (I think!). I'm so nervous. When is your scan booked for?

@ivfdreaming hope you are doing ok with two on board! When is your next scan?

@elleceedee My scan is the 29th July so I will be 7 weeks exactly. Today I am six weeks. I’m dealing with this wait okay, not thinking about it a huge amount, just anxious it may not be all okay. I’m trying yo block those thoughts out.

@elleceedee

I'm doing good thanks! Down on the South Coast for a holiday this week. All the sea making me sleep all the time! My stomach is also very very noticeable - my 4 year old announced its because there is 2 babies in there 🤦‍♀️ - I really didn't want her knowing in case something went wrong but it's very noticeable now and she's very switched on! I've know idea where she's got twins from though as we've been careful not to talk about it around her

My next scan is a private one next Friday - woke up in panic about the smaller twin as it's sac is much smaller so drinking lots of water as heard that can help

Hi guys.. omg I've literally had enough.. so I go to the early pregnancy clinic
They say the sac yeh is irregular but because they can see a heartbeat it's ok, yes it's measuring behind, but we can go with mmm..

Last week my partner was aloud in this week we had a different nurse an she had a go at me, then she scanned me didn't measure an went yep it's small don't know where this is going.. we don't take measurements but I am concerned that it's small.. but Epu didn't say anything yesteday.. what do I do.. partner has said he doesn't want to go back to the clinic now..

@BabySweet85 fingers crossed for the 29th. hope you can stay relaxed.

@ivfdreaming my stomach is also massive (only had one embryo transferred so v unlikely it is twins) and already having to do the bobble trick with jeans and trousers! I'm 5'11" and usually pretty straight up and down with no boobs so it's very obvious! Your daughter's comment made me laugh! Enjoy the rest of your time away.

@pattaz2711 when did you have the scan at EPU? Was your clinic scan today? Usually EPU will offer a second scan two weeks later to confirm if the embryo is growing as it should, have they done this? I'm confused why your clinic don't measure the embryo? Are they just checking for a heartbeat? Are your clinic going to scan you again? Have you had any more bleeding? Sorry for all the questions! Thinking of you, it's a worrying time.

@elleceedee Epu aren't following up because I'm still under the clinic. An the doctors are all linked. They said they don't take measurements so I don't know how they can see it's grown,
Epu was Saturday, yes bleeding but they noticed a bruise by my pregnancy sac so said that could be causing it, the heartbeat it there has been but she said she's worried cause it's small than it should be, an obvs my sac is irregular but the early pregnancy clinic yesterday said it wasn't as bad. I just feel like shit she was so rude.. she didn't speak to us afterward she ripped the pics off huffing a puffing..

@elleceedee in all honesty I’m not quite sure when OTD is 🙈 Dr who did the ET said test after 10 days, paperwork the nurse gave me said 12 but if I wait the full two weeks it should be Sat 1st Aug. I’ve just ordered some FRER from Amazon so may end up testing early.

@pattaz2711 sorry things are still so up in the air. Fingers crossed you get some answers soon.

@pattaz2711 I'm so sorry you are still waiting for answers. How frustrating for you. Are they going to scan you again or just waiting to see what happens?

@HT2101 how confusing to have two different OTDs! I think 12 days is pretty average so if you are going to wait that seems like it would be the most reliable although speaking as someone who started testing on day 4 I understand if you test early too

They have said to come next week but my partner has said we're not going back there were going to go private, instead especially the way she spoke to us this morning.. I'm just going to drink lots of water to see if that helps I think @ivfdreaming said about it..

Hi ladies, wanted to revert to you all and just let you know that we've lost this cycle. Turns out that it was a chemical pregnancy with the test turning positive day 8 and then negative the day after. I'll see you in a few months again (or maybe not, keeping my fingers crossed for you xx)

Hi everyone. So sorry to hear about the losses but pleased for those who are cracking on. I wish I could comfort you all. I hope all those waiting for results get good news and more sympathetic nurses! I caved today and did a test as I'm 10dp5dt. My symptoms were relaxing, breasts not as sore etc so I was worried. BFN. I know things could always change on my otd but I'm devastated. I've already lost 2 children, one a missed miscarriage that we were told about at our 3 month scan and another at 9 weeks. I feel like I cant cope and I feel like such a failure. All I want is a baby and to give my husband a family. I dont know what to do next. Im sorry to relay bad news, I just needed to get it out there.

@elleceedee had my follow up scan today so it’s been officially confirmed as embryonic demise. Going in for a D&C early next week hopefully.

@BKB27 sorry to hear about your result. Feeling the exact same way at the moment.

@Goramm sorry to hear your news.

@pattaz2711 sorry to hear you’re still going through this. Hope the private clinic are kinder if you go that route.

So sorry to hear that @Dbrook. My heart goes out to you. And to everyone going through this hell. Here's hoping we see kinder and happier times soon x

@Dbrook

So sorry thoughts with you and your partner x
