Infertility investigations/IVF in Scotland - thread 2

[Kitekat81]

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

@Kamiros fingers crossed for you 🤞

Fingers crossed @Kamiros! 🤞🤞🤞

Good luck @Kamiros, come on 🥚fertilise 🤞🏻

Thinking of you @Kamiros

@LabradorMum how are you doing?

I think all these hormones right now are stressing me out. I haven't even transferred and I'm panicking everything

Hey @willithappen I’m good thanks. Bless you will have so much going through your head, you’ve already been on some many hormones now more. When is transfer day?

@LabradorMum yeah finding the mental affects from this a lot worse than stims for sure!
Transfer day is Tuesday if any of the four survive the thaw! Will find out on Monday what time hopefully
Any word on another appointment for you?

Morning. Hope everyone is doing ok. Well my one little egg fertilised, still a way to go yet but I'm so pleased this morning.

Fantastic @Kamiros! Fingers crossed it keeps developing nicely over the next few days 🤞🤞🤞

Hi @willithappen, sounds awful all these hormones really do mess with your kind and body ☹️ They will think positive this has been a really hard journey but the finish line is in sight you can do it 👍🏻

In talks with the clinic 😁

@Kamiros so happy for your that’s amazing news, can’t wait to see how next week progresses for you 😁

@Kamiros yesss! Great news! Next update on Monday?

Yeah hormones are crazy 😂 I'm not gonna cope this tww coming up!

So chuffed the egg fertilised @Kamiros! How are you feeling?

Glad things are happening @LabradorMum. Hope you’re doing ok.

Can’t remember if I updated after Thursday? Anyway, cyst had gone and my AFC was 26 so all set for consent appointment on Tuesday, although they said it could then be 3-4 weeks before my nurse appointment. Was ok with that on Thursday but feeling a bit meh now. Likely the usual Sunday blues!

Thank you. I'm now really nervous that it's going to be bad news tomorrow but we've got further than they thought we would so seems like it's worth doing another cycle if that's the case.

Glad your appointment went well @florafoxtrot

@Kamiros good luck for the call today! I'm also waiting for a clinic call, makes you soooo nervous! I remember posting in here in panic waiting for my updates too. Fingers crossed for you' if you are home try for some housework to take your mind off (but keep phone near)

@florafoxtrot this is silly of me to say because I'm exactly the same but the time passes quick in the end. It feels like it's taking forever, but I'm now sat here the day before transfer wondering how I got to this spot so quickly! So nervous. I also had a panic like ahhhh there's so much I wanted to do before being pregnant and if this works that's it!

@willithappen Thanks - I need scraped from the ceiling today. They said it was likely to be the afternoon so at least I'm not completely on edge this morning. Hope yours goes well too.

Good luck for today, thinking of you.

So our embryo has 8 cells and is of good quality. Another positive update.

That's great news @Kamiros !! So happy for you!

Still waiting my call :)

Fab @Kamiros.

Hope you're not waiting too long @willithappen. Thanks for the kind words re. time. I absolutely know what you mean, it does pass really quickly when looking back - just not when looking forward!

Thank you. Hope you're not waiting too long @willithappen.

I hope so too as the sitting waiting for a call is a nightmare haha. I might have to call to chase up as I need to know if I need to take the whole day of or not.

Yeah, enjoy the moment as much as you can with the run up :) do all the things you can't do when pregnant haha

Hello, good to see some old names, although sad you're here too. I was on the older thread this time last year and found it really helpful but went off because it was feeding my obsessive nature too much.

Since then we are in our third year of infertility and have been told we have mfi, although I have a polyp which needs to come out before we start IVF. Polyp is coming out tomorrow under GA after I was sick when they tried with just gas and air.

We went on the EFREC ICSI waiting list in January and have another two appointments ( one telephone with the consultant and one video with the counsellor) in May.

I think our IVF will begin in October or November. I have so many uncertainties and have put on a bit of weight this past year which I need to take off. I'd love to focus on health until the cycle instead of having the hope of a miracle which is dashed every month.

That's great news @Kamiros. Fingers crossed for more good news to come...

I've not posted much of an update because nothing much has been happening - only news is I'm trying proceive max now - not sure it's much different from other supplements but who knows, some people seem to swear by it...

Transfer booked for tomorrow at 11am (providing embryo survives the thaw - could be later if they have to thaw another one)

@willithappen Good luck, I have everything crossed for you. x
