@all also, how big were your follies pre collection?

@Freezerbump I was SO nervous beforehand but the sedation was great!! Bit sore after but nothing you can’t handle. Good luck! Xx

[quote Freezerbump]@all Collection confirmed for weds morning 😳
Tell me ladies, is it awful?
Also trigger time well past my bedtime tonight :/ the pressure is intense! [/quote]
It's not awful at all! Worst but was second day bloating for me!

@Freezerbump good luck it's not that bad. All I kept talking about was cheese an ham. An if they see you uncomfortable the give you a little more sedative.. good luck sweetie xxx

@ivftake1 good luck lovely all here to support

@walshh091186 I'm so sorry my darling sending you lots of love xxx

Hope everyone else is ok xxx

Thanks @ivfhope3 xxx

Omg this is the longest evening ever.....
Is time passing more slowly than normal?!
Come on 2314 I need my bed sets alarm in case drops off on sofa cos I'm so rock and roll..*

Did you make it to 11:15 @Freezerbump? Mine was 11:30 and I really struggled!!

@ivftake1 just about! I took it all to bed with me and did it in the end... I'm shattered today!

However I'm relatively warm for the first time in 4 weeks, which is a relief, and the headache doesn't seem quite as bad without the gonal and menapor...

Nearly there.... I'll update you all when I'm off my face after collection tomorrow 😬

Good luck @Freezerbump

How's everyone doing? I think I'm coming down with a cold which is the worst timing ever but never mind I guess.

What time are you going in tomorrow @Freezerbump?

@ivftake1 oh no cold! I had a flu jab on sat and have felt rough for a couple of days.. although feeling ok tonight so hopefully it's passed

I'm in at 1015 for 1115 procedure, am quite apprehensive tonight as I'll find out if there's anything in there and if they're any good.. this is as far as I've got in my head really, I guess I'll truly find out how I feel about the whole thing tomorrow, particularly if I don't get any.. I've been quite chilled about the whole process so far but it's a big day in the process tomorrow, I've been keeping sort of detached up until now to keep any blows as soft as I can..

So we shall see, preparing for my journey to stop tomorrow, hoping that it won't :/

@Roo45 Thankyou!

@all how're you all doing?

Good luck @Freezerbump

Good luck @Freezerbump xx

@ivftake1 how was your transfer? Did you get any Frosties? This TWW is hell!! I’m only on day 4 and it feels like weeks

Thanks ladies, I've been up ages... and currently in the nervous wee cycle!

Hi! Yeah I have one on board (hopefully still) and 8 in the freezer. Xx

I hate the tww. Just cleaned all the floors and have done about 100 loads of washing

@Freezerbump

It's honestly a really relaxing experience (physically). The only bit I hated was waiting for the embryologist to come around afterwards to tell me the numbers. You'll be fine!! Update us afterwards

@Raggity19 I meant to ask if you got some in the freezer?

Wow 8 is amazing!!! Yes we have 1 on board and 3 in the freezer. I just don’t really feel anything yet though, I’m day 4 today and was hoping I’d have some symptoms...

@Raggity19

I don't even bother symptom spotting. I'm on a load of progesterone which mimics pregnancy symptoms anyway so it's pointless!

Are you on prog? Are you waiting out the full 14 days?

Yes on 3 pessaries a day. My bloats gone and my boobs aren’t as sore 🤷‍♀️

I’ve tested the trigger out so I can test early if I want to. I’m trying to wait but I’m already getting itchy to do it. I’m off work for 2 weeks now too so I don’t even have that distraction. My boss sent me home on Monday haha. Are you waiting?

Yeah I think it'll wait. Otherwise if I see a negative I start wondering if implantation was late and whether I'm still in with a chance which I find more tortuous.

I'm on two pessaries, three tablets a day and two lentogest injections a week.

It's going to be a very long wait xx

All done and 5 retrieved :) no idea re quality etc so will find that out tomorrow, so all as good as I could have hoped :)

Well done @Freezerbump how was it?

@ivftake1 all fine didn't feel a thing and was chatting nonsense all through apparently :/

A bit tender but nothing worse than that pre period pain you get now, a couple of paracetamol and I'll be fine.

Wait for a call tomorrow to see what I've got/haven't got but sperm all ok and they're in the dish doing their thing now.. fingers crossed x
