Infertility investigations/IVF in Scotland - thread 2

[Kitekat81]

A thread for those who are undergoing infertility investigations / IVF in Scotland 🙂

Fingers crossed for Friday lovely!

Lining scan for me tomorrow 😬 this progynova has sent me WILD emotion wise tbh and I'm contemplating every life decision 🙈

Thank you.

Fingers crossed for your scan @willithappen

I've just been in for another scan and they've grown quite a bit so I think Im now going in Thursday, just waiting on consultant to confirm. Looks like I'm only going to get 2 or 3 but it's a world better than where I was Friday.

@Kamiros hope you hear soon 🤞 Remember the ever popular phrase, it only takes one.

@willithappen That sounds hard, anything you want to talk about? Good luck for tomorrow 🤞

Hope all continues to go well @Kamiros. Glad those follicles are on the up!

Hope lining scan goes well tomorrow @willithappen. Argh on the wild emotions! I don't think Covid helps that either tbf!

Thursday scan for me to check on this cyst

Thanks @pixelflower and @florafoxtrot It's going to be Friday they've confirmed.

Thanks ladies
I was just having a bit of an anxiety moment about life and what happens if this works and wondering if I was doing the right stuff and with everything changing - is it the right time etc
I'm feeling a lot better and more positive today. I did read the progynova has side affects of depression and anxiety and yesterday it was VERY bad on that front

I didn't talk to my partner but I think he noticed as he text me today just saying not to worry/fret/regret about the past and just focus on now and the future :)

Had my lining scan this morning, all okay, think I was measuring at 7.6 and ovaries settled down. There was one larger folicile but it wasn't large where it would stop.

Home with my pessaries ready to start tomorrow morning - dreading this though as you don't get an applicator and now I'm worried about how I'm getting them up there lol
Transfer booked in for Tuesday. Clinic will call on Monday with a time

@willithappen Glad it went ok, everything crossed for Tuesday.

I'm booked in for 12:30 Friday, much later than I thought which means trigger at 1am. Just as well I'm not working this week. Not that it matters, just happy to be going.

@Kamiros oh wow 1am trigger!

Will be thinking of you Friday! Let us know how you get on :)

Thank you. I know, its way past my bed time but I'm going to need to stay up, I'm frightened I wouldn't wake up with the alarm if not.

@Kamiros wow, 1am. Exciting though 😃

@willithappen Glad everything went ok today. I was thinking about them not giving applicators the other day. Not to be TMI but thought what would I have done if I had short fingers? 🤦🤷🏼

@Kamiros make sure you get a good rest thought!

@pixelflower have you been managing okay? I'm a bit nervous tbh, I don't even use tampons because I'm not a fan of going in there 🙈
I have a thrush box that hasn't been used and there is an applicator in that and wondering if I could get away with trying that

@Kamiros hope you got your trigger done ok and got a good night's sleep after.

@willithappen How did you get on? I mostly got on ok, a couple of times a felt it shift and gave it a wee push back. Understandable being nervous, especially if you don't usually use anything like tampons. I started using a menstrual cup a while back so between that and checking my cervix (🤦) I've got reasonably comfortable in there.

@pixelflower I found an applicator and used that for today 🙈 didn't even attempt the finger but I didn't want it to be a huge panic and I was mid working. Might try with fingers for the one tonight

Glad you got the first one done. The things we have to go through 🤦

@pixelflower. Yes seemed to go ok, took ages to get to sleep though so I'm a bit tired today - hoping that means I sleep well tonight.

@Kamiros fingers crossed you get a good night's sleep tonight 🤞

@Kamiros good luck today 🤞🍀💕

Good luck! Thinking of you.

Sending lots of luck for today @Kamiros xx

Thank you. I've been up since 5am, partly so I could eat- didn't think I'd last until 1. I'm ridiculously nervous but think it might be the waiting around this morning.

@Kamiros I could have bitten off a chunk of my husband when he opened a breakfast bar in the car park 😂 That McDonald's after tasted amazing though, as did the ginger biscuit I got before I left the clinic 🤣

@pixelflower I can't wait for my McDonald's.

@Kamiros good luck! Thinking of you!

McDonald's is soooo good after! McDonald's and lucozade sport for after. I also ate a lot of sweet and salted popcorn after haha. Even though I was high risk for OHSS I didn't get a single symptom so potentially it was all the lucozade and salt!

That's me out and had my McDonald's- it was so good. It went ok but unfortunately we only got one egg, the other follicle was empty. I have everything crossed it fertilises tonight.
