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

@ExpectantTwinMum2022 that's amazing. Did you have 2 embryos transferred? What grade where they? Im so excited for you

@PurpleUnicorn01 I got pain in the ovaries a bit later I think, but it’s probably what it is. Anything that’s worrying you, I’d speak to the clinic/hospital to put your mind at rest.

I didn’t test til day 10 but got a strong positive. Was supposed to test day 11. I wanted to wait it out, that way I had more days believing i was pregnant, just in case it was negative. Silly I know.

Hi @PurpleUnicorn01!
I tested at 7dp5dt (2/05 on the pic) with a frer and got a clear bfp, also tested with amazon cheapies from day 3pt and you can see the line from day 4 (very faint but it's there).
I only have 1 baby and was a 5 day 4AA embryo. X

@Lou8319 @Sungirl11 that's so helpful thank you

@lou8319 i completely understand. I would be the same. Its hard when you don't want to see the negative.

@PurpleUnicorn01 meant to test the 12.04 and we got a strong positive 10.04 if I remember correctly.

@PurpleUnicorn01 we just had one transferred and the grade was a 2BB.

@ExpectantTwinMum2022 that is a true miracle! Any tips for post transfer?

@PurpleUnicorn01 I just rested the day of transfer, and drank lots of water. Then went about my normal day from the next day however went walking instead of to the gym until I got a positive.

Morning all, i had my first scan which was a 7 day, i have 8 follicles on 1 side and 1 on the other. They said they are only at 8mm at the moment but should catch up by day 9. She said they are after quality not quantity. I feel bit nervous now.

@PurpleUnicorn01 I had only 7 before collection and some were medium... I got 6 collected and got 2 blastocysts from there (one my baby, one freezer). I was super devastated when I knew I had so little grown follicles as all my checks were ok and I was supposed to have a lot of eggs... but in the end I was told the same, quality over quantity and they were right as the first one stuck nicely ❤️

Hi @PurpleUnicorn01 - I haven't really been following this thread but I saw your message and just wanted to say not to worry. I know it's a real nerve-wrecking situation but I saw most of the growth around Days 9-11... I think the clinic would change your dose if they thought things were worrying :)

There's a lot of us who are about to start, or are stimming, or have transferred, and it's a lovely group just like this one :)

@Sungirl11 @beachbum85 thank you so much

@PurpleUnicorn01 I wholeheartedly agree with the quality not quantity stance.
I had lots of follicles on one side and not much on the other, but only got 5 eggs out. I was gutted. But two made 5 day grade A blastocysts, one is now 21 weeks along and the other is in the freezer.

@beachbum85 good to hear from you. Hope you're keeping ok.

@PurpleUnicorn01 I remember feeling disappointed too. It will all work out. All of a sudden you'll be taking the cetrotide or similar to stop you ovulating and next thing you know you'll be in for transfer!

@Lou8319 it's mad how close we are. I've got my 20 week scan tomorrow! Do you know what your having? Xx

Thanks @6543336787gesgvjhg! Great to see you all doing so well as well :) half way through already!! good luck for your scan tomorrow
I'm well and starting our second cycle tomorrow, so quite excited and nervous all over again!

@6543336787gesgvjhg we had our 20 weeks scan yesterday (was away until 21 weeks so has to have it a bit late). Took a good half hour as they are checking for so much.
All was good, and we’re having a girl. After everything we’ve been through I honestly didn’t mind either way.
Will you find out?

@Lou8319 how good to hear it's all good and congrats on your little girl 😍😍

@beachbum85 thank you. Take care. X

@Lou8319 massive congratulations on a baby girl. We had an early gender scan at 17 weeks. We're having a boy 👦 we haven't told anyone though so that will be fun confirmation tomorrow and can tell everyone xx

20 week scan went well. I love how much detail they go into to check everything x

@6543336787gesgvjhg that’s great news. even though the sonographer explained everything really clearly, it was still a nightmare trying to work out what we were looking at sometimes!

@Lou8319 same here. It all just looked so random at one point she said that's the cord. It looked like a duck to me lol! Baby was really low down I was surprised. It would explain the "popping" feeling I've felt down there the last few days. You felt anything yet?

She’s been rolling and kicking for about a month now. She’s a right fidget and hasn’t been still in either scan so far.

I think I’ll be running around a lot!

@6543336787gesgvjhg so happy to hear your scan went well too! 😍
A girl and a boy! Can't wait for our gender reveal party and scan just after by the end of August! 🙈🙈
The waits are suuuper long!

@6543336787gesgvjhg Just popping back here to find out how you were getting on! I'm on the July/August thread now, currently in the TWW after an FET after my first cycle ended in miscarriage. I can't believe you're 20 weeks already, we were so close together in our cycles. Congratulations on your baby boy ❤️ wishing you the best for the rest of your pregnancy ❤️
