@Alexm06 the decision was taken out of my hands today to test (in a panic and feeling sick) I would have happily waited until Friday although I probably would have taken a cheeky one tomorrow on my day off x

Alexm06 · 23/09/2020 20:58

@JandL2020 yeah I wasn’t planning to my friend got into my head and then I mentioned to my partner and he agreed so just did it. All happened in the space of like an hour Haha

AutumnHoping · 23/09/2020 21:46

Thanks @poupou. Will just have to sit around all morning waiting on a call from the embryologist to see if thaw went ok and what time to go in. Fingers crossed we be good to go x

thefishthatcouldwish · 24/09/2020 05:28

@Alexm06 looks positive to me. I echo get pink dye one.

Thanks for the kind wishes. Been up half the night thinking having nightmares about breaking the pregnancy tests.

Well took a test just now and it was positive. Feel very happy but overwhelmed. DH is sooo soo happy. He is ringing the clinic with news today to book in a scan.

Now on to the next wait.

UnicornPuff · 24/09/2020 08:43

@thefishthatcouldwish that's amazing news! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. I hope your viability scan is not too far away! Mine seems to be taking too long! It almost feels worse than the 2WW!!

AutumnHoping · 24/09/2020 13:00

Thanks @Rumtopf and @Fightingtobepositive.
Transfer done. Went fine. No partners allowed so went myself. My first egg didn’t thaw out properly - had too many fragments. Thawed another which had some fragmentation but below 50% so was good to transfer. But down about that but trying not to think too much. Went much quicker than my fresh transfer. OTD is 6th October x

poupou · 24/09/2020 13:05

@AutumnHoping ! Sorry about the first egg but well done for a successful transfer! Now the tww!!!!

AutumnHoping · 24/09/2020 13:08

Thanks @poupou thank goodness I had more in freezer! Ha I know. Obv I feel fine about it now but prob my Monday I’ll be like aggghhhhh

poupou · 24/09/2020 13:19

Try to relax for today and have a very very lazy day! You have done everything that you could and now just try to have positive vibes!

Fightingtobepositive · 24/09/2020 13:19

@AutumnHoping great news on the transfer. Well done 💜 my order is the 3rd so not much difference.

Is anyone else getting spots from the progesterone?

poupou · 24/09/2020 13:21

@AutumnHoping did they say anything regarding the fragmentation of the embryos? Is there a specific reason if you dont mind me asking?

AutumnHoping · 24/09/2020 13:48

Thanks girls. Em no @poupou just said it could happen. I think the grading is different depending on clinic as some of the descriptions I’ve heard here are diff to mine but my best was say an A+. That one just seemed to fragment a lot. No apparent reason obv just didn’t survive the thaw. The second they did say that when they looked back at the videos of when it was fresh - it was fragmented then so the thawing actually didn’t do it. But (now I might have this wrong) but almost like they were dead cells just waiting to drop off anyway? I’m so bad I don’t really listen to the commentary just was waiting to hear at Transfer was at least going ahead. You’ll note my terminology is crap haha - ‘looked back at the videos’ lol

Gonna chill now for a few hours and watch tv - then back to norm tomo. Have diff bits and pieces over the wait which will hopefully help it go in quick and works busy so I’m hoping that helps

poupou · 24/09/2020 14:32

@AutumnHoping ! Thanks and dont even worry about the terminology! I got exactly what you are saying and also completely understand that you just wanted to get the transfer done!
Rest and enjoy today! You deserve it! And i hope this tww will go fast for you

Rumtopf · 24/09/2020 14:48

@AutumnHoping so glad you had more than one in storage and have one on board now. Great news!

@Fightingtobepositive not spotty but greasy hair instead, normally wash it every 2 or 3 days and now having to do it every day.

thefishthatcouldwish · 24/09/2020 14:58

@AutumnHoping fingers crossed for you. Hope theTWW is kind to you.

LKSF · 24/09/2020 15:39

@AutumnHoping wahoo glad the transfer is done 🤞🏼 Sending baby dust x

JenniferRo28 · 24/09/2020 16:53

@Fightingtobepositive yip I’ve had to up my skincare regime to combat the spots haha and trying to drink plenty water.
