@MF1981 yes this is amazing!!! I'm so happy for you!! How do you feel? Xxxx

MF1981 · 10/02/2021 08:38

Thank you. @foodiefil I feel a bit in shock to be honest. The line came up almost straight away and is super strong!

kikisparks · 10/02/2021 08:59

@MF1981 congratulations!!!

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 09:00

So amazing! @MF1981

@MF1981 - big congrats! Flowers

IVFat43 · 10/02/2021 09:50

@MF1981 huge congratulations, so happy for you! I bet you’re over the moon 😃😃xx

IVFat43 · 10/02/2021 09:59

I can’t believe it, just received today’s update and all 15 have progressed and all top quality grade 1 or 2.. so looking really promising 😃

Day 2 and so far cell stage;

2 - 2 cell stage
12 - 4 cell stage
1 - 5 cell stage

Only the best will get to blastocyst stage Saturday but looking good 😅

Back at clinic this afternoon to be assessed for OHSS, but feeling much better 😌

jonrik · 10/02/2021 10:15

Oh I'm so happy for you @MF1981, how lovely! You must be absolutely elated right now!

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 10:19

That's amazing @IVFat43 this is going brilliantly for you! Is your transfer Saturday?

Clinic have rang. My 14 became 11 mature eggs and 6 of those have fertilised.

IVFat43 · 10/02/2021 10:31

@foodiefil thank you, I was told to expect much much lower results so proof age is not always against you.. I’m 43 in 2wks and so happy with the results. I bet you are too aren’t you, great results for us both!
Because of my age, we’re having PGT-A so they’ll be frozen and tested with implantation either March or even April 😒 but hopefully I’ll have some frozen for a 2nd round if necessary 🤞

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 10:40

Ahh ok! I hope so too. It will come round quickly.

I don't know about my results I don't know if they're good or not and tbh I got quite upset. Didn't expect such a drop off 😔

kikisparks · 10/02/2021 11:29

@IVFat43 that’s great!

@foodiefil sorry to hear you’re disappointed, 6 fertilised eggs is still really good though, you could still easily end up with a few great blastocysts, fingers crossed for you.

I’ve been having lots of cramps today, I can only presume it’s the progesterone as I started that a few days ago and it’s maybe causing some side effects now.

Folklore9074 · 10/02/2021 11:33

I've been away for a while but on Monday finally had my first FET. It was a 4AA and my lining was good. Whole thing went pretty smoothly I'd say. Test day is the 19th. Already driving myself a bit cray-cray googling mad things and swinging between being positive and then then next moment feeling like its not worked already. Any tips for staying sane very much appreciated!

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 11:52

Great news about your FET @Folklore9074

Gensola · 10/02/2021 12:04

@foodiefil I had a really stark drop off too, and I was also upset but remember it only takes 1! And hopefully all your 6 will keep going and that is loads xx

MF1981 · 10/02/2021 12:04

That’s brilliant @IVFat43!

Sorry you’re disappointed @foodiefil but they are still good numbers

kikisparks · 10/02/2021 12:16

@Folklore9074 glad your FET went well! Good luck! No real advice on not going crazy in TWW, I couldn’t stop googling last time. Keeping busy is the only one I can think of, as far as you can in these times!

IVFat43 · 10/02/2021 13:12

@foodiefil please don’t be upset, I certainly wouldn’t, I think there still great results especially considering everything you said before EC.. and like someone said above, you only need 1 xx

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 14:39

Thanks everyone. I know it's stupid I just got a shock at the drop off. And knowing there will be a further drop off.
Will see what they say on Friday when we find out how they're doing x

Folklore9074 · 10/02/2021 15:00

@foodiefil - as other have said it only takes one, I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 15:04

@Folklore9074 thank you 💞

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 18:17

When do people do their progesterone? I did one this morning at 8 - wondering when to do the evening one x

Gensola · 10/02/2021 18:21

@foodiefil I take 3 a day - 7am, 3pm and 10pm (all approx), and I lie down after each one for 15-30 mins.

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 18:26

Thanks @Gensola I'm two a day, morning and evening and wondering if it would be too late to do it before bed so I'm lying down.

Can I do one at 8am and the other at 10.30?
