@Pattaz2711 sorry you feel so rubbish, just keep thinking of that BFP you got earlier and take it easy on yourself xx

elleceedee · 22/06/2020 21:26

Thanks lovely @Pattaz2711 it was a frozen embryo transfer today of a 4BC embryo. Did you get a BFP on day 3 - if so that's amazing!

@Pattaz2711 I'm also 5dp5dt. We can hold each other's hands (virtually!) through this! Well done on your BFP! I'm not brave enough to test. Think I might do it the day before my OTD on Saturday though... don't want to break down at the clinic if it's bad news. They have asked me to come in for blood test and then wait around for result 😬

Hey everyone.

Can I join this thread?

I've just started my first IVF cycle and its my second day of stims.

I've read through the thread it seems like a really strong support network :)

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 21:36

@elleceedee aww how exciting for you.. it's horrible going in on your own isn't it.. I just chatted the whole bloody time 😂.. such a lady legs in the air talking about god knows what 😂🙈... on day 3 was a very faint line then today I got that one.. yesteday was faint to.. I've taken some cheaply test today aswell every time I pee an on those it's like the faintest line..

@Everhopeful35 I wasn't going to but my clinic doesn't do blood test an at the start I was like nope I'm strong I can do this then I think sitting at home bored I was like oh let's get the tests out, then seen a little line so then I had to keep testing.. but I did this last time an like I said it changed. I even got 1-2 weeks on the clear blue.. that was a week before it changed before the otd. But now least I can see that something did happen if you know what I mean..

This little one was hatching on the day of transfer. So I was reading cause we're on day 5 past 5dt were actually 10 days in..

@HT2101 thank you.. I don't know if I'm actually coming down with something.. or it is this or could be medication.. xxx

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 21:38

@Everhopeful35 I'll be there 💯 every step with you my lovely.. ❤️❤️

BabySweet85 · 22/06/2020 21:49

@Zamzam21 welcome. Of course you can join. Yesterday was D11 of stims and tonight is my trigger. How are you getting in with the injections?

Mrbay · 22/06/2020 22:00

@Pattaz2711 - I think we are at the same clinic! Are you at Care in Peasdown?

@MorgenMuffel & @elleceedee - thank you!

@elleceedee - enjoy being PUPO! I've only managed to drag the DH in once and he found it really odd!

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 22:01

@Mrbay yes we are my lovely.. are you must be in the same area as me then how funny.. an nice at the same time is your consultant dr Walker?

Mrbay · 22/06/2020 22:02

Sorry can't help much with post transfer symptoms as mine haven't ended well but from what I've read cramps and tiredness is pretty normal in the early weeks.

@Zamzam21 - welcome! How are you finding the stimms? I found my 11 days flew by!

Mrbay · 22/06/2020 22:06

@Pattaz2711 - yep! I don't like the trip to the clinic as we take the back road from Norton to Peasdown, it's like taking your life in your hands! Once when we went on the bike, DH ducked and I got smacked on helmet by a branch!
I've seen both Dr. Walker and Dr. Coates. I just love the nursing team there, they are just fab and so lovely! I don't think my fav nurse has gone back yet.
But how weird you are literally around the corner from me!

ivfgottostaypositive · 22/06/2020 22:07

@everhopeful35

Light headedness was pretty much the only symptom I had before my BFP!! 🤞🤞🤞

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 22:09

@Mrbay oh no lol yeh sod that I drive 😂.. who's your favourite nurse? I know that freaky as I wouldn't expect us near each other

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 22:10

@Everhopeful35 sorry I've tagged you in three now.. I need a wee every 2 mins an also my boobs are very sore

Mrbay · 22/06/2020 22:12

@Pattaz2711 - I don't normally mind the bike but I didn't forgive him for not giving me a tap to advise me!!
The very softly spoken one with blonde hair.

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 22:12

Good luck to everyone doing triggers this evening... you are all incredible ladies ❤️❤️

Pattaz2711 · 22/06/2020 22:13

@Mrbay men 😂your post makes me laugh.. oh Debbie is she so lovely. She has been back I've spoke to her a few times.. she's very mummzy..

Zamzam21 · 22/06/2020 22:43

@Mrbay and @BabySweet85 thanks so much for the lovely welcome!

My hubby is doing the injections for me. I was petrified but the first one went ok yesterday. Today I bled a little afterwards I'm not sure why. I'm drinking tons of litres of water to help though. The bathroom is kt new best friend!

How are you guys finding stims?

Eggling · 23/06/2020 05:30

Hi @Zamzam21 and welcome!

I was nervous when I started stims too. DH is a scientist so used to working with needles etc so he did mine. Honestly they were all fine. I got quite used to the routine of it and found it weirdly calming to be finally able to do something towards trying to conceive.

Pattaz2711 · 23/06/2020 07:25

Good luck today @Mrbay @BabySweet85 @elleceedee

I think I've missed a few out..

So good luck to everybody today..

Welcome to the group @Zamzam21 I joined later in this group an these ladies are the strongest I know.. this is such a strong support network.. especially as we're all a different stages.. I don't know what I'd do with out these beautiful lot..
hope your feeling well

Xx

Zamzam21 · 23/06/2020 08:41

Thanks @Eggling and @Pattaz2711

Its so nice to find a support group! I think.I under estimated how lonely, emotional and overwhelming this would all be!

I have my first scan tommorow so hoping its good news with the follicles! Congrats to everyone whose already had a BFP, wishing you a H and H nine months! Those who are still on IVF journeys, seriously you guys are so strong and amazing women.

Btw, I am on the slimmer side and I'm finding the injections quite painful. Did yo7 guys put them straight in at 90 or at a slight angle 45?

Dbrook · 23/06/2020 08:41

Morning all. Decided to test yesterday at 9dp3dt and got a BFP! Obviously terrified it will be short lived but so happy. Have my official clinic blood test on Friday.

Pattaz2711 · 23/06/2020 08:43

@Dbrook congratulations 🥳 I've been testing since day 3 😂😂.. I'm a nightmare. I had to convince hubby last night to let me take one as I felt bad..
an the. Out they all came.. my clinic doesn't do bloods. How you feeling! Xxx

Zamzam21 · 23/06/2020 08:45

Congratulations @Dbrook! Amazing news!

Pattaz2711 · 23/06/2020 08:45

@Dbrook that's what I keep thinking it might be short lived an hubby said yesteday I'm getting to excited thing is I'm actually not cause of what happened.what will be ei be I think I've already got myself in a negative anyways.. I'm so happy for you good luck for Friday xx
