Sept IVF/FET

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 😂

I’m glad to hear that @79andnotout I had a panic on there. My heart rate has been rising steadily since starting stims. But shoots up a beat a day last fe days 🤞🤞🤞 hopefully that’s normal to!

79andnotout · 12/09/2020 09:07

@Fightingtobepositive I have a Garmin watch (I don't wear it in bed) but it looks like my rhr went up towards the end of stims by 10 bpm and is still there. Looks like it went by by 20 after the trigger then dropped by ten again.

@UnicornPuff @HavingFaith @poupou thank you, that’s reassuring to know! I think I’m just finding things to get worried about now 😬

@Evey43 haha! That’s brilliant news though 😆 Hope the ECG turns out good too

@JandL2020 hope you get good news at day 3 update

@Rumtopf good luck for trigger today x

@AutumnHoping @poupou hope your lining scans go well next week, it’s hard when you are just taking these meds but have no idea as to what’s going on inside!

@Evey43 😁 yay congratulations.

@JandL2020 hope you have good news today.

@AutumnHoping and @poupou Hope scans go well.

Day two post EC and need to keep busy. All I keep thinking about is these two embryos. Hubby is being very very protective of me! Driving me insane he is. That said he cleaned house and did tea last night so can’t complain too much.

Clinic should be ringing Sunday. They one embryo they froze and two more they were Cultivating until Sunday.

Hope everyone is doing ok today x

Fightingtobepositive · 12/09/2020 09:40

Oh great that’s made me feel better. I may have to take the watch off soon 🙈 lol. Where about a are you in everything? I did quickly glance through messages but there’s so much to keep up with.

KassT · 12/09/2020 09:53

@Evey43 congratulations! So happy for you! Have a great pregnancy 🤰🏻

@JandL2020 hope you get good news from the clinic today.

@thefishthatcouldwish I would be happy if my hubby clean the house and make dinner! Don't remember when was the last time he did that...Fingers crossed for your embryos, hope you get good news on Sun.

Af came last night and the cramps kept me up all night!! Haven't had heavy period like this for a long time....called the clinic to book my first scan on Monday, hope they get back to me early. Exciting!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend x

JandL2020 · 12/09/2020 10:03

So it’s good news. Transfer is planned for Monday arghhh! It feels very real now.

@KassT I’m still waiting for my OH to hoover the floor I’ll still be waiting a long time I’m sure lol

79andnotout · 12/09/2020 10:07

I had a stand off with my partner last night. Every night he waits for me to start cooking then pops up and asks if I need help when it's all underway. I didn't start last night, and it was gone 8pm before he started mooching in the kitchen. He asked me what's for dinner and I said 'I don't know' then put the dog on the lead and left. I came back to some cooked pies from the freezer and a Greek salad :) I think the progesterone might be giving me some rage. I also told him yesterday I was sick of him moaning about how tired he is every day for nearly nine years, and he either needs to go to the doctor for some tests or stop whinging! I dread to think what he would be like if we actually had a baby. I do love him but sometimes I think he just needs a rocket up his arse to kick him into life. There could be something medically wrong and he's justified in feeling tired but I've got bloody hypothyroidism so a genuine reason to be tired and I don't whinge about it! And I'm doing ivf! Stop complaining. Anyway, rant over.

@Fightingtobepositive I'm 6dp2dt. I usually get my period ten days after ovulation so I might test early. I'm thinking Wednesday or Thursday next week. I've ordered some FRERs.

KassT · 12/09/2020 10:37

@79andnotout oh my god, your husband sounded just like mine! Good job on giving him a kick last night! He probably needed that lol
I also had a talk with my hubby 2 days ago, as he is constantly moaning about being tired, busy, his body is in pain blah blah, how would having a kid help improve all this...? I feel like he will be leaving me to do all the work again and I'm not having that!

@JandL2020 😂 good luck with the floor, seriously, what is wrong with them?

poupou · 12/09/2020 10:46

@Evey43 congrats!!!!!

AutumnHoping · 12/09/2020 10:54

Thanks @Lemongrass1, it just doesn’t seem as real to me or something this cycle with tablets only and no injections. Like I’m still waiting for it to actually start!

Haha @thefishthatcouldwish - silver linings and all that! Def good if you can keep busy and your mind off your eggs for every second of the day! Fingers crossed for you!

Eek @JandL2020 only two more sleeps!

@KassT - good to get started!

@79andnotout haha poor hubby 🤣 he’ll be in for a shock when you get your bfp and there’s a baby keeping him up at night 🤣

ivfhope20 · 12/09/2020 11:06

Hi.. I'm starting my third round of iv. First didn't stick second did an ended with a miscarriage.. I'm about to have my third round so throught is start a thread to see if anyone would like to join.. I've now started my period after a long 14 weeks. If anyone would like to jump on with there journeys feel free :) ❤️

pattaz1 · 12/09/2020 11:07

I've finally started my period so hopefully a scan in 11 days to see if I have ovulated an go from there.. I've never been so excited to have a period.. anyone else been like this 🙈

Minster2012 · 12/09/2020 11:33

@Evey43 congratulations! That's fab!

I've been in the background as not much going on for me, I've got my scan for womb lining for on weds 8.30am so fo gets crossed it's ok then transfer next week - did I read there should hopefully be others around 23rd/25th?

I'm a bit sceptical though after 2 lots of IVF and both times it's been put back due to a poor lining so I'm just really hoping weds goes well but really scared too

Good luck fir everyone waiting on news today 🤞🏻& is it @JandL2020 for transfer on Monday?

Rumtopf · 12/09/2020 12:39

@Evey43 congratulations! Wonderful news to check in and see.

@Fightingtobepositive my rhr has shot up too. Normally 64 and today it's 78, wonder what it will go to once I've triggered this evening.

@79andnotout good form! Sometimes you need to stand your ground.

@thefishthatcouldwish good luck for that phone call tomorrow, wishing you good news.

@JandL2020 glad you got a fab update, good luck for transfer on Monday.

I've got to trigger at 10:30 tonight so have set an alarm, god can you imagine forgetting?!

JandL2020 · 12/09/2020 14:31

Thanks everyone. @Minster2012 Monday 🙂 @Rumtopf I don’t think you’ll forget ;) good luck with it.

I’ve been asleep for ages today. Think it’s a mixture of not sleeping well last night and the progesterone - these really are disgusting felt a bit sick today as well.

Xx

LKSF · 12/09/2020 14:41

@Evey43 Oh thats amazing News!!! Congratulations 🥳
Second one this week, giving us all lots of hope and positive vibes 🥰 x

Lemongrass1 · 12/09/2020 14:51

@JandL2020 good luck for Mon! Glad your update today was positive

@thefishthatcouldwish hope you get good news for tomorrow 🤞

@AutumnHoping the FETs take a bit of getting used to as there’s not much going on compared to the stim cycles. You’re lucky you don’t need injections, took my last buserelin today but am swapping to the more painful lubion tomorrow 😩

@HavingFaith I start progesterone tomorrow- eeek!

@ivfhope20 welcome to the group and good luck x

@pattaz1 oh I’m so glad that AF finally showed up! The relief I felt when AF finally showed with downreg was immense!! What’s the next step now? X

I think we are going to imminently run out of space! Shall I set up a new thread soon or would someone else like to do it 😄

HavingFaith · 12/09/2020 15:13

@Minster2012 good to hear from you ☺️ Fingers crossed your lining is thickening nicely! Hoping it’s positive news on Wednesday x

@JandL2020 I’ve been so sleepy today too! I’ve been napping on an off since I woke up. Think it’s the progesterone for me too! Plus there was such a build up of anxiety and suspense to ET that now it’s happened I’ve crashed 🤣

@Lemongrass1 Hope the Lubion injections are kind to you! Always exciting to start the next step of the process!
Oh wow, this thread really took off! More than happy for you to start the next one ☺️ We can all help with the tagging to make sure everyone from here finds the new thread x

@Evey43 congratulations 💜 amazing news x

I had a progress scan this morning and it went well, day 8 of stims, lining 10.2 and follicles coming along nicely, back on Monday for another scan and EC likely to be Wednesday. Had a lovely chilled afternoon at the caravan with my mum and dad and actually managed to put it to the back of my mind for a couple of hours.

Hope everyone has had a nice day x

moneyonmymind · 12/09/2020 18:58

HavingFaith · 12/09/2020 19:12

@moneyonmymind I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you been able to speak to your clinic to see what they say/suggest? Sending you so much love and hugs xx

Also, this thread was getting full so the link to the new one is a couple of comments above yours xx

Minster2012 · 12/09/2020 22:12
