I reckon you should try to space them 12 hours apart if you can, my clinic said to try and space it so the gap between was even. But they said not to worry if work etc meant you can’t so if you can’t do 1030am then maybe bring your evening one back a bit?

foodiefil · 10/02/2021 20:34

Thanks @Gensola will do x

kikisparks · 10/02/2021 21:52

I take my progesterone at 7.30am and 7.30pm.

kikisparks · 11/02/2021 08:06

And I come to bed and lie down for half an hour at 7.30pm.

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 09:27

Thanks @kikisparks I took mine this morning at 7.45 and lay down for 45 minutes. Will be able to do the same tonight.

How's everyone doing?

I have very vivid dreams anyway - I usually have a lot on my mind - but even more so atm !

IVFat43 · 11/02/2021 11:26

@foodiefil how are you feeling, have you been getting daily feedback on your embryos, are you still doing transfer tomorrow? All the best 🤞xXx

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 11:33

@IVFat43 transfer is Sunday all being well. No they don't give us daily updates. We get another update tomorrow though. Feel ok. Going to go for a walk. Still off work.
How about you? Do you get daily updates? What do they say? Xxx

IVFat43 · 11/02/2021 11:46

Oh that would drive me mad.. I have to know each day the progress.. but some I know don’t like it, but we opted for a daily call.. you may be able to find out if it’s on your mind.. they go through each stage, how they’re developing, the chances etc

They’re progressing really well, although I don’t have grades like some people on here, they have told me for day 3;

  • 9 grade 1 (8 cell) - excellent
  • 3 grade 2 (8 cell) - excellent
  • 3 grade 3 (6 cell) - still time but we’ll see?
Looks positive to freeze and test 🤞

Enjoy your walk, keep occupied and think about other things if you can, we have a 12 wk puppy so it’s a little easier to keep busy..

Thinking of you and good luck for Sunday xx

Folklore9074 · 11/02/2021 11:53

@foodiefil I'm getting incredibly vivid dreams too! I wondered if it was the progesterone and the vividness started after I began on pessaries.

Hope you are keeping your mind in a good place! I found this app called Mindful IVF and the mediations on there really helped me chill out before and after transfer. Good luck for Sunday.

Feeling a bit bummed out today and I'm getting no symptoms at all and feeling like its probably not worked. Its 3 days in, so perhaps I wouldn't but I just keep over thinking everything. Confused

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 12:12

That's excellent @IVFat43 I know what you mean I would probably like to know what's happening but also it sort of feels like I've got a day off? I will let you know what they say tomorrow. My dream was them ringing me to tell me none of them were viable... great 🥴

@Folklore9074 actually I've started progesterone and the two could be linked. When will you test?
I've been Googling thickening uterine lining quickly. Think I need to move more.

At scan 1 last week it was 9.1 and then on Saturday it was 8.something want it to be as thick as possible so if we get to transfer the little embaby gets good and stuck

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 12:13

Thanks for the app rec too @Folklore9074 I'll download xx

thirteen92 · 11/02/2021 12:15

@MF1981 congrats!!!! How many dp was our otd? My otd is 13dp5dt and it seems like such a long wait! I’m so glad you got your BFP!

Gensola · 11/02/2021 12:18

@thirteen92 when is your OTD? Mine is 15th but am planning to test tomorrow am and then Sunday am as I have a crazy work day on Monday so prefer not to test that day. Hoping against hope to get a BFP tomorrow Grin

thirteen92 · 11/02/2021 12:44

@Gensola my otd is 16th! I’m 8dp5dt today. I’ve only had really faint tests so thinking it’s a chemical 😔

Tarsette · 11/02/2021 12:59

@foodiefil Don’t worry about your lining. It is very unlikely it would have decreased in thickness. But sometimes the uterus contracts, especially during an ultrasound, and the lining can appear thinner. My dr usually waits for a few seconds to measure mine (because every micromillimeter counts for mine) to avoid this.

@thirteen92 it’s still early! Rooting for you and the 3BB posse!

Gensola · 11/02/2021 13:22

@thirteen92 I wouldn’t give up hope, it’s still so early - definitely time for those positives to get nice and strong. I’ve seen a lot of photos online of progression of tests from 6dp5dt to OTD and the difference is usually very clear!

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 13:26

Thanks @Tarsette that's reassuring x

MF1981 · 11/02/2021 14:00

@thirteen92 my otd was 13 days after transfer but I know some people’s are sooner than that. I’m glad I waited as I wanted it to be definitive either way which it absolutely was - very strong test line which was darker than the control line. Tested again this morning on a clear blue and it said 3 weeks+ so we’re now wondering if both embryos stuck

Folklore9074 · 11/02/2021 14:32

@foodiefil my OTD is the 19th which feels like forever away!

foodiefil · 11/02/2021 15:14

@Folklore9074 I hope it goes smoothly and quickly ❤️

thirteen92 · 11/02/2021 15:38

@Gensola thank you 🤞🏻 I’m just desperate for a dark line!

@MF1981 oh wow imagine that!

Just trying to be positive for everyone!

Gensola · 11/02/2021 16:01

@thirteen92 was your transfer a frostie? And day 5?
Is this your day 6 post transfer?

thirteen92 · 11/02/2021 16:08

@Gensola it was a fresh 5dt. I’m 8dp5dt today! Just done a cheapie test with 25m sensitivity and it was faint. Held wee for an hour!

Gensola · 11/02/2021 16:12

I’ve done a couple of searches on Instagram and seen lots of test sticks from day 8-16 and most are faint at day 8, really wouldn’t worry 🙏🏻❤️ The difference between day 8 and 16 is quite stark @thirteen92

thirteen92 · 11/02/2021 16:15

@Gensola I really hope so 🤞🏻 All I’ve seen are people with dark lines really early!
