Couldn't see a thread for May so I thought I'd start one!

Anyone else doing their cycle in May? I just got my calendar through and all the injections look extremely Not Fun (this is my first time doing it) 😕

Omg @Nix49816 and @Crazydoglady123 these are some dark unmistakable lines. Congrats! I'm loving seeing the pictures and the lines developing.

I'm sat on the edge of my seat waiting for my clinic to call with a day 3 update. 🤞 I'm doing a freeze all so I need to get used to waiting xx

StrongEagle · 15/05/2021 10:54

@mowglika ahhhh so excited for you and praying the line gets darker and darker xxx

Prayingforabubba · 15/05/2021 10:57

@mowglika congratulations 😍 a beautiful line at only 5dpt. This is definitely a lucky thread 🙏🏼

Nix49816 · 15/05/2021 11:28

@mowglika awww congrats!!!! That's a good solid line! Here's hoping this is your time!!

Georgie87B · 15/05/2021 11:35

Ahh so lovely to see all the BFPs in the thread this morning!! ❤️ Congratulations ladies!!

@StrongEagle good luck with your 2 day update!! 🤞

@Prayingforabubba I'm not feeling too bad after EC thanks for asking 😊 still a bit bloated but I suppose that's to be expected.

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/05/2021 11:51

Congratulations 🥳 so happy to see these bfp's! I really hope it is a lucky thread! I won't get to test until mid June I reckon.

@clolo I hope you're alright hun. DM me if you need to chat xx

DoctorBambino · 15/05/2021 12:24

Wow so many bfps congratulations everyone!!

I'm officially PUPO, hoping the thread hasn't reached its bfp quota!!

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/05/2021 12:55

@DoctorBambino yay to PUPO! Hope it's not reached its quota, I'm not due to transfer until the end of the month!!

StrongEagle · 15/05/2021 13:16

@DoctorBambino amazing news! 🤞🤞🤞

I just had my day 3 phone call and out of my 7 fertilised 5 are developed to the 8 cells she would expect, which is great. 2 are slightly behind with one at 7 cells and one at 6 cells, but she said they could catch up so here hoping!! Xxx

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/05/2021 13:28

@StrongEagle fingers crossed lovely ☺️

Georgie87B · 15/05/2021 13:49

@DoctorBambino YAY!! 🎉🎊 congratulations on being PUPO!!!

@StrongEagle that's a great 3 day update well done you should be really pleased!! Hopefully the cells all keep multiplying nicely for your Monday update 😊🤞Xx

I haven't had any update today which should mean my little embryos are progressing as they should so fingers crossed I also get a good update on Monday!

2mumlife · 15/05/2021 16:32

Tarsette My cycle after unsuccessful fresh transfer was longer, and I think this cycle is going to be longer too (AF would be due about 18th if I'm back to my normal cycle length, but I'm not feeling the PMS right....)

@Crazydoglady123 So exciting! Can the BETA test tell if it's both implanted?

@clolo Best of luck for June!

@mowglika OMG another BFP! Congrats! I hope there is enough baby dust left for later in this thread....Confused

@DoctorBambino Happy waiting!

@StrongEagle What a great day 3 update!

Alexm06 · 15/05/2021 18:25

Congrats to all with the positives!!

I’ve just done my first injection which was scarier then I remember last time but I’ve done it!

Seems like so far this has been a great thread with all the good news!

VenusStarr · 15/05/2021 20:46

I've just done my trigger 🥳 rewarding myself with some chocolate :) looking forward to a day off injections!

Hope everyone is getting on OK ❤️

cakecakecheese · 15/05/2021 21:31

Hi everyone

I had a FET 4th May. OTD was yesterday, had a very faint line. Had an MMC in December so I'm a bit of a nervous wreck at the moment tbh.

Nix49816 · 15/05/2021 22:12

@cakecakecheese congratulations!!! I completely understand your fear and worry. Just try to be positive that this is the first step to everything working out for you. Are you going to be a daily tester too? 😆 When does your clinic give you a scan?

cakecakecheese · 15/05/2021 22:19

Thank you. Not daily but I will test again soon as I need to see a stronger line for my own sanity!

Scan is usually around 6/7 weeks.

Coops0406 · 16/05/2021 07:02

Seeing all the good news and 2 lines on tests is just amazing to see! It's something I've never seen in 24 months of trying and is so wonderful to see them developing for so many of you 😊 it honestly makes me so excited for you all!

@clolo sorry to hear you are delaying things a little but it is better the be as de-stressed as possible, if that's even a thing whilst going through fertility issues. As it happens I am 2 weeks in on norithisterone with another week to go, then a week gap and then start injections for 10 or more days! So it seems like forever away until my EC in nearly the middle of June but it will come round sooner than we think 🤞🏾

Louweeze · 16/05/2021 07:39

Hi mind if I just in? I'm 28 and this is my partners and I's first ICSI cycle as I have a low AMH for my age (6.7) and there is MFI as well. I'm currently on day 2 of stimulation and I'm using 300iu of ovaleap. I know with my AMH levels I'm liking to be a poor responder so I'm hoping I'm on a higher dose of stims to help with that but I don't know what level is "normally" given. How much is everyone else on?

Alexm06 · 16/05/2021 08:12

@Louweeze welcome!! I am also on day 2 of stims! This is my 2nd round and haven’t used ovaleap before as I’ve been on menopur. I am also on a higher dose as I didn’t get any frozen embryos last time.
Hope your first time works!!

HappyThoughts7 · 16/05/2021 08:15

Good morning all,

I’ve been following your posts & am so pleased to read so many positive stories Smile. I’ve been feeling a little nervous about joining the convo but have decided to give it a go.

I’m 34 and me & hubby have been TTC for three years. This is our first round of IVF and we had EC on Fri. Only 4 eggs collected (we knew it wouldn’t be high) but 3 were mature & all 3 fertilised so we’re keeping everything crossed that they’re fighters & at least one makes it to ET on Wed. Xx

VenusStarr · 16/05/2021 08:21

Hi @Louweeze I have low amh (5.9), I was on 225 bemfola and I've got 3 follicles that the clinic seem confident they'll get and around 5 smaller ones. I think I've responded exactly as they thought on that, but don't seem concerned. My collection is tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know.

@Alexm06 🤞 for your stims too.

Anyone else that has triggered, did you get any ewcm? Had a bit last night and I've got mild ovulation pains today, hoping it's normal?! Been awake since 5am 👀 looking forward to that sedation tomorrow!

Flissa7 · 16/05/2021 08:31

Just changed my username from HappyThoughts7 to Flissa7 (felt like I needed a change from when I was originally TTC) x

Flissa7 · 16/05/2021 08:37

@VenusStarr I had a few cramps & twinges after my trigger injection so I think that’s entirely normal. Good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 X

Georgie87B · 16/05/2021 09:06

@VenusStarr woo hoo 🎉 well done for triggering and hope you enjoy your injection free day today! Wishing you the best of luck for Monday too! Enjoy the drugs at EC! 😉Haha!

@Flissa7 welcome!! Your are only 1 day behind me as I had EC on Thursday and transfer Tuesday. Its all pretty nerve wracking at the moment isn't it just hoping for them little embryos to hang on in there. And them numbers are really good based on your AMH! We lost quite a few over the first day had 13 collected, 8 mature and 6 fertilised. So like everyone says it's really is quality over quantity!
Fingers crossed all 3 stay strong for your transfer Wednesday.
How are you feeling after EC??

@Louweeze welcome! I was on GONAL-F 225iu and cetrotide and my AMH was 9.5. Like you we also had MFI so needed to do ICSI.
Hope you and @Alexm06 are finding stims OK keep us all updated 👍

@cakecakecheese congratulations on what sounds like another positive result in this group!! Hopefully you line gets stronger by the day to ease your worry. 🤞
