IVF March/April thread 2

@Bethpalmer20 @Donimo @Itsjustme2021 @Itsjustme2021 @Lclarke111 @Orsh @RedFaerieBoots new thread as it wouldn't let me reply

Popping in here again also if that's okay?
Currently doing prep for FET :) scan on 14th to see lining and then decide transfer day then. On 3 x progynova tablets per day right now

@Donimo I know this won't help but two of mine were grade e and the next morning they were grade a so things can change!

@Narwhal88 were only a day behind I didn't realise we were so close. I have no symptoms either. Keep feeling a little snappy like before I am due on but that could just be the progesterone? Maybe?! 🤔 I've got a face of spots too which isn't like me and they are super sore. We are the opposite we are talking like I'm already pregnant and I just know how devastated we will be if it is negative. I just can't imagine seeing the positive lines though as the odd test I've done in the past obviously has been negative so just can't imagine it. I presume the sickness etc usually happens like 6 weeks onwards? I have no idea I suppose everyone is different. I stupidly googled the IVF due date and now that date is just in my mind.

Thanks everyone! Really early days still but we're feeling excited, countdown to the scan now!

@6543336787gesgvjhg yes I did test a day early (9dp5dt for me) and got a clear positive on a first response and came up on a digital too! I did the test the NHS gave me the next day and was a really faint positive so guess the HCG levels are different in each test!

@6543336787gesgvjhg I don't feel due on yet but my period isn't due till Saturday (though not sure if that is accurate now). I get acne anyway but have broken out massively over the last couple of weeks, it is calming down now though. I feel like my body has gotten used to the progesterone now, I have gotten the odd cramp but a lot less bloated than I was. Yeah nausea wouldn't kick in this early anyway. I got really sore boobs after my HCG trigger shot so I keep thinking if I have HCG in my blood then my boobs would start hurting again and they don't atm. I also looked up my IVF due date 🙈

@Narwhal88 my husband thinks I would still be pregnant at Christmas and didn't want to correct him as then he'll know I've been Googling!! Haha.

I have sore boobs at the moment and nipples, don't feel bloated which is good. I tend to get sore boobs every month minus the odd month so nothing new here. Best of luck for you though. ♥️

Thanks for the tag @6543336787gesgvjhg

@Donimo I'm so sorry to hear. Please don't give up hope yet! It could catch up 🤞

@Lclarke111 that doesn't sound fun! Rest up and drink plenty

@TTCbabyH massive congrats 🎉

@Narwhal88 your test date is my birthday ☺️ also my baseline scan that day 😬 really hoping it's good news so I don't have a rubbish day

Hi ladies

So i have one egg to freeze which is a 4BC

anyone else doesnt want sweet stuff i love chocolate but at the moment not a fan of it ?

Congratulations @ttcbabyh so happy for you!

So so sorry @donimo I know it's not the news you hoped for. Stay positive though, anything can happen, hopefully it'll be positive news over the next couple of days!

Well, we officially have one embaby on board, grade 5AA. And two in the freezer! I feel so relieved but I know the worry is going to continue through the dreaded TWW!

@Freya2015 that's good news. I'm the opposite I'm wanting chocolate - maybe because it's Easter but husband is been good and saying not to have it or just small amount as trying to be my healthiest self 🤣

@6543336787gesgvjhg I am in my two week wait I will be testing on the 12th had a day 3 transfer on 1st april

Great news @Bethpalmer20 xxx

@Bethpalmer20 excellent! welcome to the tww :)

@65**@6543336787gesgvjhg and @Narwhal88 I googled the due date as well :/ Not feeling like I'm out yet, although I feel 'too normal' but I almost don't want to know the result in case it's negative too!

@Freya2015 how are you feeling, apart from going off chocolate and sweets?

@Lclarke111 hope your husband had a lovely birthday and you enjoyed that well-deserved cake :) have a good rest!

@beachbum85 thank you, feeling so much better after pain killers

@beachbum85 yes I feel normal too it's strange isn't it.
Apart from just cooked a Sunday dinner (I know it's Monday haha) and it's done me in. All resting up again now. Hubby has moaned at me saying I should of asked for help but he's done enough today and I usually do the Sunday dinner. Hopefully it's a busy week at work and then I can test next Sunday x

Good morning ladies, I hope you're all doing well. Sorry I've been quiet here for the past week, I had to take a mental health break as anxiety took over. But I'm happy to say that from 18 eggs we had one transferred on Saturday and 5 frosties waiting on us so we're so happy with that result.

Is anyone else using Crinone? I was originally prescribed cyclogest but the clinic had run out so I was giving Crinone instead and It doesn't seem to me agreeing with me at all

Congratulations on your bfp @TTCbabyH that is the best news. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months

Oh @Donimo I'm so sorry and I can't imagine how you're feeling. I've got my fingers and toes crossed that you embaby catches up, this process has really showed me that things can change significantly over night and I really hope that's the case for you.

@Lclarke111 congratulations on your egg collection, 27 is a brilliant number and I hope you get lots of top grade embryos to transfer/freeze. I also felt reallllly sore after egg collection and wondered if the pain would ever go away (dramatic, I know!) paracetamol and a hot water bottle were my best friends. I hope you feel better soon!

@Bethpalmer20 congratulations on being PUPO! How did you find transfer? It was super uncomfortable for me with a full bladder and swollen ovaries 

@6543336787gesgvjhg haha I've also googled my due date, and tried to estimate when scans would be etc. The TWW makes me do some crazy things lol

I have to say, coming off the meds and still so bloated and uncomfortable, I can't believe how sore my boobs are and I feel I am having pregnancy symptoms without the pregnancy- shows how high dosage these meds are.

Literally living by my phone today!!

@foreverhopeful17 congratulations, they are some amazing results! I definitely found transfer quite painful, although I think it was more the pushing on the bladder than anything else, the nurse said she could see my bladder was still filling up during the transfer still, I'd do it a million times over if it meant getting our little baby!

I tested yesterday and today as it’s my OTD day and got a negative test so I’m out this month. I’m going to have a few months off before I try again I think but will still be looking in on all your baby joy. I feel so lucky to have my little boy through all this, it’s such a tough journey but I know it can happen as it did on my first attempt. Good luck on all your journeys!

Day 1 results:
27 collected
22 mature
19 feetilised ❤️

@Hazza2021 sorry to hear this Hazza! I can't believe how positive you are with everything. I wish you the best for your next cycle. What an up and down road we are all on! Xxx

@Lclarke111 great news! Will it be a 5 day transfer? I bet you are over the moon!!

@hazza2021 so sorry you didn't get the news you had hoped for, well done for managing to stay so positive. Wishing you the best of luck for the future xx

@lclarke111 amazing news, you must be so happy and I'm sure slightly sore! Take it easy now and fingers crossed for some good quality embryos! Xx

@Hazza2021 I'm so sorry to hear that! I was thinking of you this morning and yesterday morning, and hoping for good news. Glad to see you staying positive (you have a great reason to) - take care of yourself and best of luck when you try again :) x

@ForeverHopeful17 a transfer and 5 frosties is wonderful - so happy for you :) No Crinone here though, I'm on Cyclogest, but what side effects are you suffering from?

@Lclarke111 amazing numbers, you must be so happy! I hope you feel less uncomfortable very soon - for me, the 2nd/3rd days post-EC were the absolute worst and then my body adjusted, so I'm hoping it gets better for you now!

@6543336787gesgvjhg so, so strange! There are days I'm so energetic and totally normal, and others where standing up for 10mins gives me hip pain. I give up trying to figure it out and I'm just counting down to Friday. I think though that the more time passes, the less positive I feel about it all...

@beachbum85 that's exactly how I'm feeling. I was super positive and then this morning lying in bed it felt like I'd come on and a few cramps today. Not as bad as period cramps I keep telling myself but something is there. Positive vibes for us. I've got to wait until 12th but going to try on 11th before back at work. I don't have any proper tests in the house so waiting until nearer the time to make an amazon order to not try and use them early!

That is a very smart move @6543336787gesgvjhg! I ordered a couple of FRERs and they arrived yesterday and I was so anxious for a couple of hours trying to decide whether I should just test straight away or not. My partner talked me out of it, and I'm glad he did - I'd rather have 3 extra days of hope than worry/disappointment.
