Hi,

Is anyone else having or had a transfer this week? I need people to talk to during the TWW! x

Sorry to be stupid but I’m new to the lingo - I’m guessing PT stands for post transfer but what does dp stand for?

Ivfgottahope · 26/03/2021 13:37

Ignore my last message - I figured it out 😊

Goldilocks2528 · 26/03/2021 13:46

Oh @paitentlywaiting that is AMAZING NEWS!!!!!! Flipping brilliant, so pleased for you!!

Well my update this morning was great, but I am having to keep reminding myself it is only day 2, a lot can still go wrong either now or after transfer.

Hi @beachbum85
The embryologist said both eggs had divided into 4 cells in a good amount of time and were doing really well. Her actual words were "It couldn't be going any better at this stage". She is going to call me about 8am tomorrow, and they will then decide whether to transfer tomorrow or leave them to culture until Monday... eek.

Keep imagining them in their little petri dishes. Sorry if that's weird Grin!

Hi @beachbum85, I have had that too. It feels like really painful trapped wind. Not nice at all, really quite painful.

paitentlywaiting · 26/03/2021 14:10

Thank you all. It's still early early days but a line is a line.. Atleast I know my uterus is capable of conceiving which is the first step!

Goldilocks2528 · 26/03/2021 14:22

Absolutely @paitentlywaiting !

Is anybody taking Ubiquinol? I am still taking 400mg a day, and am not sure when to stop. Some clinics say day before egg collection, others say when you get a positive test. My clinic didn't tell me to take it, I just took it upon myself based on the fact I have DOR. It Starts With The Egg seems to say that it can help with lining and it's ok to take until a positive test. I just wondered what everyone else thought?

Ivfgottahope · 26/03/2021 14:49

@Goldilocks2528 I’m still taking 400mg a day.... I’m going to continue up until test day x

Goldilocks2528 · 26/03/2021 16:18

Thanks @Ivfgottahope, I shall do the same Smile

Ivfgottahope · 26/03/2021 16:34

What’s the earliest can we realistically test? Mines a FET so I think the risk of false positives is reduced compared to fresh. Also, do you count the day of transfer as one of the days? Mine was in the morning... impatience is kicking in now!

paitentlywaiting · 26/03/2021 16:46

@Ivfgottahope the following day is day 1... I think when you take an hcg trigger shot there is a risk for false positive otherwise not. Some people start on day 4, others say day 7 is a safe day. I tested on day 6 and my line was pretty strong so I reckon I might have seen on day 4 but def day 5. My transfer was at 8:30 am though

Ivfgottahope · 26/03/2021 16:48

Ahhhh ok, I’m only on day 3 then 😩

How are you feeling? You must be elated!

IloveHaroldBishop · 26/03/2021 16:50

@Ivfgottahope
You can test anytime but in previous FET I tested at 9 days after transfer it was negative.
My clinic tests 13 days past transfer so this time I’m just going to wait for that as I got my hopes up big time previously and added lots of emotions.
But I do understand how hard it is too wait so testing might reassure or at least confirm yes/no.
But remember a BFN can be a BFP a day or two later so no one is officially out until the proper test day!

@Ivfgottahope I feel great thanks. This is the first time Iv been pregnant so I hope these next few weeks go smoothly. I'm not sure what to expect or what I should feel

paitentlywaiting · 26/03/2021 18:21

@IloveHaroldBishop agreed! I was soo nervous today to test as I knew I was a little early. I wanted to hold out Atleast till tomorrow. My clinic tests 9 days after the transfer normally

Rachae · 26/03/2021 19:47

Hey everyone! Im (hopefully) transferring this Sunday. Had my day 3 update today and out of 11 fertilised eggs, 4 are good quality and 6 are 'average'.

It's my second round of IVF and last round was similar numbers at this stage and we just ended up with 1 early blasto on transfer day.

Hoping for a better outcome this time! Xx

Goldilocks2528 · 27/03/2021 14:34

Can’t believe I am going to ask this, but I literally have no dignity anymore Blush Blush

We haven’t had sex since a few days before egg collection. Does anybody know when it’s safe to have it, in either the front or the back door? The Cyclogest worry me. Don’t want him sprouting boobs, and don’t want to mess anything up by not waiting either. Sorry Blush

Ivfgottahope · 27/03/2021 14:55

@Goldilocks2528 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve respect for you! My sex drive dissipated long ago and I’m currently as asexual as a block of concrete! For that reason I’ve zero advice i can give 🤣

Goldilocks2528 · 27/03/2021 15:05

Hi @Ivfgottahope Smile Thank you for your reply though. I’ve googled and found nothing, so thought I’d just in case!
Just told OH I posted that question, he is dying of embarrassment Grin

Rachae · 27/03/2021 15:40

@Goldilocks2528 😂😂
I'm sure it won't be a prob but, like @Ivfgottahope I've also abstained for quite some time! I've found the hormones have just completely switched me off!

paitentlywaiting · 27/03/2021 18:09

@Goldilocks2528 my doctor told me to wait till I hear the heartbeat... although I'm sure the back door is fine after a few days after the transfer. The reason he said to abstain was because it makes the uterus contract

Rachae · 27/03/2021 18:12

Anyone else's transfer day tomorrow? It's agonising! I'm so worried about waking up and clock watching until my transfer time.. As they said if they don't call then its good news and it goes ahead.

IloveHaroldBishop · 27/03/2021 18:15

@Rachae good luck for tomorrow!!
Remember to change your clocks forward tonight.

I had my transfer on Thursday and the steroids I’m on are making me feel rubbish today.

Hi @Rachae and @paitentlywaiting, thank you x

@Rachae good luck for tomorrow. How exciting. I was so dreading collection, but am so looking forward to transfer. Fingers crossed mine will be Monday, if they survive the weekend.

Rachae · 27/03/2021 18:41

Thanks @IloveHaroldBishop Smile thanks @Goldilocks2528! How was your EC? Have you had any updates yet x

paitentlywaiting · 27/03/2021 18:42

@Rachae good luck!

Goldilocks2528 · 28/03/2021 08:09

Happy Transfer Day @Rachae! Hope it all goes well, sure it will.

EC was nowhere near as awful as i thought it would be. I’d definitely be able to go through it again if I had to, but let’s hope I don’t!

@IloveHaroldBishop Hope you are feeling a bit better today?
