IVF - Feb/March - continued

[Mrbay]

Hi All

Thought I'd better start us a new thread as we are so close 999 messages!

@blessing12 - that's utterly fantastic news!!!
@Seaswimmingdeservesasunnyday - it is so hard but I'm personally trying to stay in the moment with this cycle, my previous ones I had already written them off at stims and started to research endlessly to see how to improve the next one. Just keep talking to us and your DP, yours friends etc it really helps

@2mumlife - you are still in this cycle, so that is all that matters at the moment. If you don't get a BFP with your AFC they should be able to improve results next time - big hugs

@ThePurpleFairy - I hate the waiting too, 2-weeks isn't enough time when you are holiday but waiting for something to start, time goes as slowly as it did at school!

@richmondlady1981 - here you go! Hopefully you have movement today!

@willithappen

@Nix49816 - congrats on being PUPO!!! OMG 4 in the freezer, I'd be over the moon with that!!! Great grades too

@Rachae - I've also found holding the pinch and injecting slowly stops the burn/itch. How are you feeling on the buserelin?

I hope I've gotten everyone who has been active in the past few days.

Lovely idea

Hi everyone 👋🏻

@Mrbay thanks for the new thread

@Nix49816 congratulations on being PUPO, when is OTD? Sorry you had such an awful ET, it sounds like a nightmare.

Sorry I’ve been quiet and missed quite a lot but noticed your last comment, if it’s okay can I continue with this forum. I’m still waiting on PGT-A results and at a stop for the moment, hopefully things will progress soon 🤞

Good Morning Ladies,

Thank you @Mrbay

Good luck for those booked in tomorrow for ET, im in at 1pm its going to be a nervous wait in the morning.
Those PUPO will you wait the whole 2weeks till you do a pregnancy test?
Iv stocked up on tests already 🙈 I know ridiculous, but nothing worse than deciding to test and not having a few tests to monitor the line with.

@IVFat43 - sorry just reread my last sentence and it sounded pretty excluding, I just meant I'm too lazy to scroll through pages and pages. We love having you here ❤

@blessing12 - I've tested early on previous cycles but at the moment, I'm planning on holding out to OTD or at least the morning before

Thanks for the tag lovely!

Quick question for anyone who has ended up being a freeze all this cycle - how soon after egg collection are you expected to bleed/have a period?
I'm sure I was told 4 days by clinic but not sure now. Today would be day 4 anyway

Anyones ovaries still abit tender from EC?

Thanks @Mrbay
Appreciate all the tips! Well the first 2 weeks were great in the way that I was injecting at night so I had the best sleeps! But the injections hurt like hell (until ice and pinch!) Last night was the broken sleep stint which I remember started at exactly the same time last time... So here we go! 1 week until stims.

I'm starting to get a bit nervous for it all as last time I got 20 eggs and only 1 early blasto to transfer. It was a bit of a shock, so I'm nervous to see if the same thing happens again, but hopeful it might be a different result.

How is the 2WW? How is it for everyone? I think I caved last time at 5 days and test with a first response! Xx

@Blessing12 good luck for ET tomorrow! Not sure if you've been through it before but I found it an absolute breeze last time. A lighter touch than a smear and nothing to worry about xx

Thanks for setting up the new thread @Mrbay
I triggered last night, freaked out when more than one drop came out the top of the needle for the priming test but all done and ready for egg collection tomorrow morning.
Good luck to all those having procedures tomorrow!

@Mrbay thanks for the tag ☺️ at least the weather seems to be picking up. We went for a 3.5 mile walk yesterday and I was exhausted when I got back 😴

@willithappen I was told within 2 weeks and was getting worried, it came on the dot 2 weeks after egg collection. I think I may have had mild OHSS I don’t know if this affected things.

@Blessing12 good luck for your ET! I have bought one 2 pack of First Response and I have another one coming in a couple of weeks (used Amazon subscribe and save to get some money off). I’m not sure how many tests I need, I’ve never done this before! I would like to think I would wait but I’m such an impatient person I know I’ll probably cave.

Question to everyone, do you take the test by yourself or do you sit together with your OH? I’m not sure what the ‘done thing’ is and I can’t decide whether doing it together is the best way or whether to be alone to process either way.

@IVFat43 definitely stay on this thread, I am also too lazy to go through pages and pages once I’ve missed them (I mainly get intimidated by how much there is and how many people to try and keep in my mind). I did PGT-M back in October, got my results in December and due for first FET in a couple of weeks. Finding the patience for all the waiting is so hard!

No worries @Mrbay.. far too many to tag but thank you for opening a new thread, great to keep in the loop 😃

@willithappen I was 9 days after EC and so heavy I had to use both tampax and heavy pad.. so not me.. 😩

Thanks @ThePurpleFairy
Wow that is a long wait..
We’ll probably be around the same time for EC all being well I get the results I need..but now thinking expectations may be out of kilter..

Thanks ladies.
I wonder why my clinic reckon it will be four days after 🤷🏻‍♀️
I guess I just want it to come sooner anyway because sooner this one comes, sooner next one comes and I can start FET prep.
Here was me hoping the last period I had before starting this was going to be my last period until a baby

I'm another one that is booked in for ET tomorrow. Feeling v apprehensive as I only had 3 fertilise. I'll know before 10am if any are still going, I really hope they are. Think it's going to be a sleepless night tonight!

Morning all,
As usual so much activity, its great. Thanks for setting up the new thread @Mrbay
Ive missed so many updates but I see lots of positive numbers so good news all around. Happy w/e all x

@ThePurpleFairy I POAS in the bathroom then we turn it face down, time the 3 mins and then look at it together. It's become a ritual of ours, but however you decide to do it is up to you - don't worry about the done thing

Hi @Rachae I did have a cycle 5yrs ago that was successful, but cant really remember much.
Thank you.

@thePurpleFairy this is my thing, im so inpatient and iv seen so many ladies test from 5dpt onwards to see if the line is getting stronger etc, iv gone abit made i have x2 Double first response and x2 multi clear blue digital.
I thinks that more than enough, but i know what I'm like, I become obsessed with testing.
I'll probably do my tests on my own, and if I get the bfp then ill show him, because I know he will talk me out of testing.

Transfer is all done - 1 transferred, 2 in the freezer and last 3 are being cultured until tomorrow to see what they do as they are early blasts 🤞
The one transferred and 2 in the freezer are top quality, I am so happy!!

@Blessing12 your a POAS addict like me - I try to keep the extent of my testing a secret or my other half would go mad, he’s begged me not to test early every round but I can’t help myself! It’s turned me slightly psychotic in the past so I’m going to TRY and hold out till at least day 7 but I have zero willpower! I’m hoping this time I’ll have two lines to share with him rather than crying on my own in the bathroom at 5am.
Frozen transfer booked in for Thursday of our remaining two embryos - official test day will be Mothering Sunday! Oh the irony!
Congratulations to everyone PUPO - sending you all my positive vibes and baby dust. Good luck to those who also have transfers this week - looks like lots of us going mad in the TWW together.
Sending lots of love to all those who haven’t received the news they desperately needed this week xxx

@Mrbay thats wonderful news! Congratulations! I didn't think most clinics operated on a Sunday.

Congrats on being PUPO @Mrbay and the ones in the freezer - that's great news. Thanks for setting up the new thread too

@MrTumbleTumble I can test on 10th March. Not sure about the early testing, I always do it every month when we've been TTC (mainly so I can have a weekend beer guilt free 😂) but I'm so used to expecting a negative I think I want to cling on to the hope it might be positive until I know it's a certain result one way or another.

@Mrbay that's amazing news, you must be so happy! Relax time now and let the embryo settle in!

I got a call this morning and 1 more of my little cultures clawed its way up to a 5CC so we've got 5 in the freezer now! None as good quality as the little fella I'm looking after right now but it feel a bit better knowing we have some more goes if this one doesn't work out.
