IVF January/February 2021? continued

[hopefully21]

I just set this up as we reached the limit in the other one.

@esfran85 I’m sorry I missed your post when I updated. It’s horrible being in limbo isn’t it. I have been bleeding since 10dp3dt but it’s stopped now. I’m taking progesterone too. I wish I just knew either way!!

@cher1981 I’m 5dp5dt and pretty much nothing going on either 🤷‍♀️

@esfran85 I really want to know the answer to this too as I’ve heard conflicting things

@Birdladybird totally :( - tomorrow I have my next blood test and will update you here. I keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hello girls! PLEASEEEEEE can someone help me! Sorry to butt in! Hope your all OK on your journeys and babydust to you all I pray for all you ladys!

But I've written on another thread and no one replys im wracking my brains! I am 7 days past 5dt 8 if you include the transfer day! I've tested out my trigger shot i had that 14 days ago they say it comes out your system within 10-14 days. Anyway I will upload some pictures for you guys please let me know if this could be a positive or still the trigger.

Top test is 2 days ago in morning
Second test in yesterday morning
3rd test is yesterday evening
4th test is this morning. Isit me or this morning one looks like its come back and abit darker? What do u guys think! Been trying over 2 years and first ivf cycle with a 5day blastocyst fresh transfer xx

Ohhh @Prinnyshelly that looks positive to me!!!

@Prinnyshelly looks good to me! When you tested out your trigger did the test go completely negative?

Back from my scan and my lining is 9.8mm- big relief! Embryologist should call tomorrow or Thursday to give me a date for transfer.

@esfran85 I’ve heard of people being brought back for repeat tests, it’s because in a pregnancy there should be a doubling increase pattern in hcg, so with borderline results they’ll look at the trend. They say progesterone is supposed to hold off a period but as someone who started bleeding at 8dp5dt in my fresh cycle, it didn’t stop the bleeding for me, that could indicate my progesterone dose wasn’t high enough though.

@Prinnyshelly the most recent one looks darker to me, the highest level of hcg should be first urination of the day though. So I’d do a repeat first thing tomorrow if I were you 🤞

Fingers crossed for you @Birdladybird glad the bleeding has stopped!

@MF1981 from the November IVF thread it seemed to be those without any symptoms that ended up with the BFP, and with a double transfer you have a good chance. I’m going to hope for nothing this time, since I got excited with spotting and then was devastated last time.

I’m due my transfer tomorrow at 3pm and will find out my progesterone level after, so no time to change the dose, I hope it comes back ok.

Thanks great @kikisparks

@jonrik eeeeek I hope so!!! @kikisparks yes the blank white one was stark white that was in the evening though! But the trigger shouldn't come back if anything should become even fainter but the most recent was today in the morning which seems darker then the top one from 2 days ago.. @Gardenlady543 yes I will test again tomorrow abit scared haha have any of you tested triggers before ? Xx

Can I ask, has everyone avoided having a bath during the 2ww? I'm normally a bath every night person and am missing it hugely! (and my daily latte, wah)

oooh and @Prinnyshelly It looks like good news to me :)

@cher1981 I have a layzspa that I find so so relaxing and my clinic said I absolutely could not use it in the fresh cycle, so I drained in then, used it inbetween and now I’ve drained it again for my frozen cycle. It will be filled back up if this cycle is unsuccessful but I personally wouldn’t risk it during the cycle.

@cher1981 aww thanks babe! Im such a poas ADDICT! bet the chemists love me with the amount I buy 😭.. and also I still have baths and have done since transfer but not really hot baths x

@cher1981 I've completely avoided bath but have coffee every other day, trying to cut down but feel soooo spleepy😩
@Prinnyshelly I'd say no doubt the line is stronger. Fingers crossed it keeps getting stonger.
I had another FRER ( yeah I know- too much) this afternoon and it's defo stronger than this morning. I'm still in disbelief and know so many things could go wrong... but hope that luck is on our side this time!

@Doremifasol yeah I Will test again! I was testing with frers but I know there super sensitive they pick up like 6.3ml of hcg so I went over to the strips which are 25ml so I thought less sensitive I would get a a clear result which shows in the photos! Bloody hard isn't it this whole 2ww worst part

Thank you @Gardenlady543 good luck for your transfer tomorrow! When do they thaw the embryo, do they just let you know it has thawed when you go in for transfer?

@Birdladybird @esfran85 that sounds so confusing, hope you both get answers soon.

@kikisparks yeah I got an email to say they thaw later on in the day and don’t put them in the incubator for a few hours anymore and that they won’t be calling me to update unless there is a problem. I have 8 frosties and as far as I’m aware they can thaw another if needed, so hopefully things should be ok. I really hope it works this time. What day do you think your transfer will be?

@Gardenlady543 ah that makes sense. I’m hoping to ask the embryologist when they call about whether they’ll thaw another if my first one doesn’t survive the thaw (I have 3) as it’s my next big worry, I’m always worrying about something!

I’m really not sure when transfer will be, I’m hoping in about a week? Next week is quiet for me at work so that would be good as I want to take the day off. I thought it was a bit odd that it’s the embryologist who’ll give me the transfer date, I wouldn’t have thought they’d have any role in scheduling patients but what do I know!

@kikisparks best of luck with your transfer. Lining sounds great!

@MF1981 hang in there! The 2 ww is tough going.

@Gardenlady543 best of luck with your transfer!!

@Birdladybird and @esfran85 hope you both get positive news soon!
