@6543336787gesgvjhg wow!! How exciting 😍

@Crazydoglady123 that chart looks reaaaally good!!! Good luck on Monday! 🤞🏻

@The3rdWatermelon 12 is such a good number!! Hope you get lovely embryos 😍 and also hope you are feeling ok!

@beachbum85 thank you!! It's very hard... i am only 6dp5dt and I am already scared it hasn't worked 🙈

We are thinking of testing tomorrow with a frer, 7dp5dt! If it's a BFN maybe because it's too early or didn't work, if it's BFP it would be the best birthday present ever 😍
But i'm excited and scared at the same time. Still have loads until beta on Friday...

Just got the call to say of 12 eggs collected, 10 were mature but only 4 successfully fertilised. I need two of those to have inherited my genetic condition for comparison against those that haven’t. And then I need those that haven’t to survive. I really thought we’d do a bit better than this from 12

Sungirl11 · 01/05/2021 18:56

@The3rdWatermelon i'm so sorry your numbers went down like that 😔
It is very disappointing when you expect a thing and then it doesn't happen. Hope those 4 are strong and you can at least get 1/2 goos blastos. Will keep my fingers crossed!

I'm feeling worse everyday... extremely tired to the point my husband today said.. "you've had better days" because of the status of my face. I also get suddenly very dizzy and have to lay down! Progesterone is giving me a hard time!

Crazydoglady123 · 01/05/2021 21:06

@6543336787gesgvjhg awww that's such a cute scan pic!

Hope your scan goes okay @Bethpalmer20

@The3rdWatermelon it's such a tough game when there's no rhyme no reason to numbers. I have everything crossed these eggs are little fighters and make it.

@Sungirl11 fingers crossed it's all good signs 🤞

Pulled my trigger half hour ago! Getting real now!

Bethpalmer20 · 01/05/2021 21:17

Thanks @crazydoglady123 not looking great for me unfortunately.. I know its still very early (6w3d) however the lady that did my scan said she could see a very tiny looking sac and even tinier looking baby (although she couldn't guarantee it was a baby)... No heartbeat and she say I'm measuring about 5 weeks so quite behind.. Trying to remain positive until my 8 week scan on the 13th as I've got no more pain currently and not experienced any bleeding but I feel this might be the end for us :(

Crazydoglady123 · 01/05/2021 21:27

@Bethpalmer20 I'm so sorry it wasn't more reassuring for you. It's such a crappy journey this. After everything women go through with ivf you'd wish it was more guaranteed. I have everything crossed for you that it will all be fine. I know not ivf related but someone I know started bleeding and had cramps at 7 weeks and went for a scan expecting MC but everything's fine and she's fine so far throughout the rest of her pregnancy. Miracles do happen ❤️

Sungirl11 · 02/05/2021 07:51

Hi girls! And good morning!
Today in Spain (where i'm 1/2 from) it's mothers day (fist year without my mom) and it's also my 33rd birthday. We agreed with my husband to test today 7dp5dt, we know anything can happen but it's such a special day 😍
And.... i'm still in shock
I didn't expect such a dark line. I do believe this is my mothers gift and i'm so happy right now.. best birthday ever.

@Bethpalmer20 sorry to hear about your scan but it you are measuring 5 weeks and small you wouldn't expect to see a heart beat that early. Everything crossed for you for the 13th!

@Sungirl11 congratulations! That is a very strong long for so early on! Has it been two weeks since your trigger shot? Bet you are over the moon xx

Sungirl11 · 02/05/2021 08:49

@6543336787gesgvjhg yes! It has been two weeks! And i tested after my trigger until the tests went completely white, which was before my transfer. So i know the trigger was out of system already. (At least for showing on tests).
I am really happy! Scared at same time as anything can happen! But it's a good start ❤️

PurpleUnicorn01 · 04/05/2021 15:19

Hi, i hope you're well. Did any of you have online consent forms for the nhs ivf? I was told id receive something at some point.

Thank you.

IVFbabyF · 04/05/2021 17:35

Hi @PurpleUnicorn01 we completed all our consent forms online and had lots of videos to watch too! It was really easy and efficient though.

PurpleUnicorn01 · 04/05/2021 18:46

@ivfbabyf thank you. How soon after you're second appointment did you get that information through? Will they just post it me?

6543336787gesgvjhg · 04/05/2021 19:15

@PurpleUnicorn01 we were signed up to an online portal and had a certain time to watch the videos and give consent. That was the first lot you will then have a second lot to complete after confirming a lot of information on what you and your partner agreed too

PurpleUnicorn01 · 04/05/2021 19:23

@6543336787gesgvjhg thank you. Do they just mail it to you after you're funding is approved?

IVFbabyF · 04/05/2021 19:30

We got it through within the same week. It will come through via email so keep an eye out. I've found them to be great, if you have any concerns just give them a call.

PurpleUnicorn01 · 04/05/2021 19:59

Fab thank you. I don't think i gave them my email address. Il give them a call tomorrow.

Sungirl11 · 05/05/2021 07:17

@Crazydoglady123 how are you? How did EC go?

@The3rdWatermelon do you have any updates on your embabies?

How is everyone else?

Xx

The3rdWatermelon · 05/05/2021 08:32

@Sungirl11 no updates yet. I was told I’d hear tomorrow.
Is it a case of no news is good news? Would they call me if they’d all failed already? Or do they put them in a drawer and not look at them for 5 days?

I’m having serious issues with concentration, can’t think of anything else. I’m SO ready to stop injections. I had Inhixa which I have to keep doing until my period as I’m at risk of stroke. It was fine before EC but now I’ve stopped the other drugs it stings like hell!

@The3rdWatermelon with us they said they wouldn't look at them for a few days but gave us the days when they would update us. But it was like 3 days waiting. No news is good news xx

@the3rdwatermelon hopefully no news is good news!
@6543336787gesgvjhg hope your scan goes well.

@PurpleUnicorn01 thank you it's not a scan it's a telephone call booking in that takes an hour. I've googled what to expect but wondered if anyone had had theirs yet xx

Hi All, i wonder if you can help. The dr has suggested 300 units of gandotrophin and a long down regulation. What does that mean in English lol. Is that long protocol then?
