Sept IVF/FET

[Lemongrass1]

I can’t see a Sept cycle up yet so thought I’d start one. Currently TTC #2. Our March FET was postponed due to Covid and we had a FET in July which sadly resulted in a BFN last week. Had our follow up last night and to our surprise we can try again straight away so signing consents next week and starting down reg in 2.5 weeks. Told the cycle went perfectly and must have been an embryo issue so we aren’t changing protocol but going for double embryo transfer this time. Anyone else looking to cycle/ transfer in Sept? Or am I a bit early/ keen 😂

@J1984 ! Best of luck with the fertilisation! Its a very stressful point and fingers crossed you will get both fertilised.
Just a quick guestion to all of you? Is it just me or maybe s anyone else starts crying without a reason and with everything? I know its the hormones but come on i am walking and crying now i am at work that is very busy and demanding and stressful with people trying to dominate as i am more senior and they dont like it and i never cried before and the last few days i seem tk not be able to leave the toilets i dont want anyone to see me!

@thefishthatcouldwish oh no how stressful! Fingers crossed for you xxx

@thefishthatcouldwish oh that's an added stress that you didn't need! I hope the rest of the day goes smoother for you!

@poupou yes I cry a lot! I think it's totally normal with what we're going through. It can be the smallest thing on tv and I'll cry! One thing I go by is not to stress about being stressed, I try to wear a mask and show that I'm strong, but I also accept that it's okay to cry and let everything out. Are you able to work from home?

@thefishthatcouldwish good luck! Hope the journey is smooth from here!

@poupou yes! Last night I was just sat there sobbing for no apparent reason! I can only put it down to the hormones as I didn’t think I was feeling stressed or overly anxious (maybe I was still feeling sorry for myself after the blood thinner injection haha!)

@thefishthatcouldwish sorry for the extra stress from the detour! Best of luck with today!
@ivfjourney5 thanksss i thought i was going mental! No i can not work from
Home unfortunately but i had a good cry went to boots got a consiler (hahaha) as i left my usual one at home (had a blood test at 8:00) and went back to work like nothing happend! Sometimes you only need a good cry!

Hey guys! So just had my egg collection. I cried when I was in there was all a bit scary seeing like 8 people all in scrubs and masks. They then starting sedated me. At first I didn’t think it was working as I felt a bit out of it but not much which freaked me out next thing I know I’m waking up in the recovery room to little mix soo really was no need to stress. They managed to get 9 eggs not sure if that’s good or not so yeah just waiting for the phone call tomorrow to see how they are doing.

Hope all goes well for scans and ECs today!

So the news wasn't the best. 1 egg degraded. The other Egg fertilised but it's saying 1PN - whereas a normal embryo would have 2PN. We spoke with our coordinator and she said they would monitor tonight and ring tomorrow but they did say it might not be possible to go to implantation stage. The wife seemed ok but after a while she had a good cry which I think is best. Not looking hopeful but maybe you never know - a miracle will happen but expecting the worse 😭

@Alexm06 aww yeah it is scary especially if you’re not used to that environment. It’s a surreal experience for sure. I had 4 which didn’t fertilise - the embryologist said it’s completely normal for that to happen so don’t be disappointed if that number halves tomorrow. Rest up and take care today xx

@HavingFaith morning 😊. I’m working today so distracted but feeling sick at the thought of doing a test. My period came last time so I pretty much knew the it was going to be BFN. I’m not sure how I’m going to take the test on Saturday (OTD) without throwing up! How are you?

@JenniferRo28 good to hear you’re feeling better, work can be tricky and yours sounds especially so. You’re doing the right thing by taking care you and try to ignore the idiots!

@J1984 I am sorry to hear that, I am hoping for the best for you though as well.

@Alexm06 9 eggs is a good number. It’s expected that they won’t all get to say 5, ours halved in number, but starting with 9 gives you some good odds. Good luck tomorrow

Xxx

@Alexm06 congrats! I’d be happy with that number!
@J1984 I’m so sorry to hear. Praying for you!
@JandL2020 I’m following you closely as your very similar to my cycle (though your lucky your going in on Monday!) I hope I have a turnout that resolves in EC!
@poupou don’t worry about the emotions! I believe covid has changed work personalities Completely and people can be narky due to insecurities!

Today I’m feeling much different - almost like I have a full bladder but don’t. Maybe the high dose worked but it’s been only one day! Fingers crossed for tomorrow I really want to save this cycle!!! XX

@poupou I cry ALL the time. Over all sorts of ridiculous things. Not even starting progesterone until tomorrow so god knows how I'll be then!

@thefishthatcouldwish good luck for transfer!

@JandL2020 great news about fresh transfer!

@Alexm06 that sounds exactly like my egg collection, I thought the sedation wasn't working then next thing I know was waking up! 9 is a great number, hope you're relaxing now 😊

@J1984 sorry it's not the best news, keeping fingers crossed for you.

Hope everyone else is getting on ok xx

@thefishthatcouldwish hope the ET went smoothly and the embryos stick.

@Alexm06 9 is a great number, well done!!Hope you have an excellent fertilisation rate.

@J1984 I've my fingers crossed for your embryo and hope it's good news tomorrow.

@poupou hope you feel better after the cry, don't work too hard.

@ivfjourney5 thank you! I never wanted my af to arrive so much lol was told it takes 4-5 days?

Hope everyone is having a good day x

@ChicaXS are you on the short protocol? What meds are you on? Hope the scan goes better tomorrow xx

Lining hasn't grown, I've been cancelled 😭
I wish you all well xx

@Alexm06 glad all went well! 9 is a great number ☺️ Hope you’re having a nice chilled afternoon.

@J1984 sorry you didn’t get a more positive update. I’m praying for your embryo xx

@Evey43 I can only imagine how anxious you must be feeling. You’ll have all of us here willing you on on Saturday morning for that positive test!
I’m good today, I have that same heavy feeling in my lower stomach that I had last week so hoping that means my lining is getting thick lol! I just honestly can’t believe ET is tomorrow, feels like I’ve been waiting for so long but now it’s here I’m a bag of nerves!

@ivfjourney5 oh, I’m so, so sorry. I really hoped you'd have a different outcome. There’s nothing I can say to make this less shit. But i hope you have lots of love around you xxx

@ivfjourney5 that sucks I’m sorry! Next month hopefully!
@JandL2020 I’m on short protocol on GONAL F and cetrotide- GONAL was originally 225 but increased to 300 last night. High number of follicles but their just not growing! My AMH is 21, FSH is 7.8.

@ivfjourney5 oh no I’m so sorry . What’s the next step for you? Hugs xx

@ChicaXS thank you so much! And i really hope it all goes well tmr! Its so stressful and we are supposed to be super calm! I have no idea how.

@Eggling ! Thank youuu! I am just on oestrogen now and buseralin so just hoping for proper lining next week and will take it a day at the time i assume!
@KassT ! Thank you! The cry was indeed very helpful!
@ivfjourney5 i am so so sorry honestly i feel you completely. Isnt there a possibility to continue for a bit longer? I hope you are ok sweetie. So sorry again. Sending a virtual hug.

@ivfjourney5 so sorry to hear that big hugs.
@ChicaXS I was similar I had lots of little ones not growing. Hopefully the greater dose and a few more days you will be ready to trigger. I think the trigger really does help to mature the eggs as well so they’ll be looking for a few that are reasonably sized ready then others may catch up. Fingers crossed for you what day of stims are you on? Xx

Thanks all. It's hard but I was kind of expecting it. Already got an appointment with the consultant on Monday to talk about the next try 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I'm sorry @ivfjourney5 - that's really disappointing but sounds like you're in the right head space to move on. Good luck next month.

@ivfjourney5 so sorry to hear the news, that sucks! Wishing you all the success for your next round. hugs x

I'm not sure about the right head space at the moment, I think it's more out of desperation 😩 I might get stuck at the first hurdle if they need a new consent form as my husband can't sign anything for another 2 months 😭

Does anyone have any good news from today that I can raise a glass to tonight?

@ivfjourney5 I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully Monday is a positive chat with your consultant.
I hope this weekend can bring you some time to reflect and be okay. It's such a tough journey.

My positive from today was that I wasn't an angry, frustrated mess. Quite the opposite actually.
