IVF January/February 2021? continued

[hopefully21]

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

@Tarsette great news about your lining. Best of luck!

@Prinnyshelly congrats!
@jonrik hope the 2ww isn't too torturous! Best of luck!

@IVFat43 I can't remember if I already said I had a scratch twice..1 successful round I'll failed. I didn't have one for another failed cycle. So without knows. The failed round was a good quality pgs normal embryo.

So who knows.

@cher1981, I asked my embryologist and nurse after transfer and both said bath is total fine but it can't be too hot or too long. "Embryos don't like it too warm" she said. Also asked re hot water bottle as I struggle with digestion thanks to progesterone and they said no to that on the tummy but ok on the back.
Advice seems to differ clinic to clinic from what I can tell, which is a bit weird!

@jonrik ooh that’s helpful thank you. I might treat myself to a tepid bath tomorrow 😂

@cher1981 my clinic advised not to have a bath or go swimming until test day, but I don't know the reasoning (temperature or something to do with being under water)

@Gardenlady543Best of luck for your transfer this afternoon

Really worried today as DH has a sore throat and headache and I have muscle aches, don’t think it’s covid as those aren’t symptoms (and fairly sure we already had covid before tests were available) but really don’t want to come down with something before transfer 😢 we’ve been very much abiding by the rules and both WFH but have obviously had to do food shopping and DH had to go to the doctors to be tested for a possible UTI last week.

DH also got ill with cold symptoms before my last transfer, although I was fine that time, such bad timing!

Really hope it comes to nothing and that I feel fine by transfer day 🤞

@Birdladybird @unknownscot I am so sorry, I had a BFN for 2nd attempt. Take care of yourself x

@kikisparks Fingers crossed it is something mild and passes quickly for you both.

I’ve just had my Day 6 stims scan. They could only find 2 follicles (which I expected as my AMH is 2) however, one is 18mm and the other 11mm so I’m waiting for the Doctor to decide whether to cancel or continue. Not really sure whether to feel pleased there’s at least one decent sized one or disappointed!

@hopefully21 that’s fab news! So happy for you 😊 I got feedback from clinic, they said they think it’s my age and maybe better with donated eggs. Not sure about that yet. They also said I have adenomyosis showing but apparently there is little evidence with regards to fertility.

Morning all, I have got a lump come up where I dud my buserelin injection this morning, has anyone else ever had something like this?

@Motherofkittens28 yes I had that a few times - like a little raised burn or insect bite or nettle sting

Thanks for the good luck vibes, my consultant just called me on her day off to tell me the progesterone result, she said it’s 46.6, she said its debatable what level is acceptable as some specialists accept 30 and 40 but she goes with 50 so advised that I increase up from 1xlubion in the morning and 1xcyclogest at night to 1xlubion and 2xcyclogest. This blood test was taken first thing before my lubion dose so that suggests my night time regime isn’t high enough.

I’m using the cyclogest anally, can I put 2 in at the same time at night? My other option is to put one in at lunchtime.

hey ladies, my hcg has dropped so now it's a negative confirmed. I felt a bit sad at first but now I am relieved that at least I know... my ivf cicle gave me 2 b grade blastocysts - one is the one that failed and one frozen. We will give it a try next month again.

Really sorry @esfran85 sending hugs

Really sorry to hear this @esfran85

I have my transfer tomorrow and feeling nervous. Not sure how the 2WW will be endured!! Also worried my embryo won’t survive the thaw. Does the worry never end?!

@MF1981 how are you doing? Did you find the transfer painful? I’m a bit worried about that too as EC was horrendous and I was so sick after it for days.

So sorry @esfran85

So sorry @esfran85, fingers crossed for the frozen one!
Thanks @mf1981, glad it's not just me!

@Whitestripes007 sounds like we’re on a similar journey together. I’ve had my scan 2 today, day 7 stims. Although you have 2 you may be ok, I’d look on the positive side, you still have time yet for them to grow.

I’ve had a really positive scan; 31 follicles but that includes all the small ones, so currently 5 large, 3 medium that could push through.. my lining is 9.6 which indicates that should be ok when it comes to transfer, but as I suffer with PCOS I am apprehensive regards the quality..
Scan 3 is Friday and EC booked for Monday..

I’ve decided along with PGT to opt for both scratch and glue.. anything to help ey🤞

@Tarsette such great news on your lining. Where there's fat endometrium there's hope. Fingers crossed you get a sticky embryo

@esfran85 so sorry about your news. Take the time to digest it, it’s important to do that before you move on.

@cher1981 I was told no baths because of the heat and no swimming because of the risk for infection!

@Gensola no the worrying never stops unfortunately! Even if we egg pregnant, we will spend the first 3 months worrying about miscarriage, etc. Now that I have my lining sorted, I have moved on to worrying about my embryos’ grading and whether they will survive the thaw! Don’t worry about the transfer being painful, it is a much smaller procedure than EC. It only lasts a few minutes and not painful at all.

@Gardenlady543 Hope your transfer went well!

@indub thanks! Yes I’m really happy I get to at least transfer, it would have been my third cancelled cycle otherwise!

@cher1981 I was told 48 hours on water immersion as they've instrumented the cervical canal; no overheating any which way until established preg or fail. Hot baths, sauna, vigorous exercise all raise the core temp. Tepid bath all good
