@babyvibes @Melmodz
In the two clinics I ve had ICSI they also had a little different amount of waiting days.
In my current one they say to test on the 9th day for 5 day ET, and 11th day for 3 day ET.

Melmodz · 23/05/2021 10:57

@Babyvibes yeah 5dt 👍🏼 Did you? x

Melmodz · 23/05/2021 10:58

@TheDutchess3 whereas my clinic have said day 11 and day 13 after 5dt! x

TheDutchess3 · 23/05/2021 11:12

@Melmodz
Actually, I ve just checked the paper from the first clinic and it says "On the 16th day after the ova retrieval" which makes it the same 11th days after 5dt!

Babyvibes · 23/05/2021 11:21

My egg retrieval was on 14th so when test on 28th it makes it 14 days from then. I'm just going to hang on until then for testing as I don't want to be disappointed if I test too early

@Babyvibes you have more willpower than me when it comes to testing then! 👍🏼 I’ve bought a few cheapies to use all week 🙈 x

TheDutchess3 · 23/05/2021 11:42

No, there is still difference for me in the clinics.
First time I had to test on the 16th day after the retrieval, which made it 11th day after 5dt.
Second time the instructions say to test on the 11th day after 3dt (or 9 after 5dt) which equals 14th day after the retrieval. Makes 2 days difference between the clinics.

Babyvibes · 23/05/2021 11:44

Believe me I'm struggling today and will for the rest of the week. But it's my partner keeping me going and he wants to be there for the test and knows how stressed I got last time from it. I was bfp last time from gonal f injections but not until 11dp we mc just before our first scan.

Thank you so much. I don't think I'll believe it until I see it in words, but going to wait a few days until I take a digital!
@Babyvibes I'm 4dp5dt

@DoctorBambino I'm going to order some more frer today, so won't test again until they arrive probably on Tuesday!xx

Babyvibes · 23/05/2021 13:29

Ow wow well that's great your getting a line showing now

Curious as to what hormone regimes you are all on? I’m taking oestradiol 3 times daily, and have progesterone injections twice daily. Last time it was only once a day for oestradiol and progesterone pessaries x

Ejolie · 23/05/2021 14:45

feeling very impatient, so strange, I also had a very vivid dream of a positive self test last night. Partner is really encouraging me to wait till tomorrow (OTD) but its really hard.

Babyvibes · 23/05/2021 14:51

I'm on 2x a day of progesterone pessaries

OP posts:
Melmodz · 23/05/2021 15:36

@Babyvibes I wonder if it’s either changed at my clinic or it’s my age that’s made them use injections over pessaries…. (I’m 36 this time)

coffeewithmilk · 23/05/2021 15:51

I'm on fematab 3 times a day and then I'm on progesterone pessaries, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. They're not very pleasant but I'm used to them now!

Melmodz · 23/05/2021 16:35

@coffeewithmilk yeah I remember the delights of pessaries. Panty liners all the way 😂

Melmodz · 23/05/2021 17:49

If I was going to test again tonight (seeing as it’s been mentioned it can give a darker result at night time, and I’m clearly impatient) then roughly what time would you suggest testing and holding for how long please? xx

unCliche · 23/05/2021 19:14

@coffeewithmilk I remember you from a past thread we were both on. Just saw this and wanted to wish you congratulations! I'm so pleased it's finally happened for you 💕 I'll also be starting IVF soon so hopefully I'll have good news of my own. Have a great pregnancy! I look forward to checking in and hearing of your progress!

coffeewithmilk · 23/05/2021 20:39

Thank you so much @unCliche
I'm being cautiously optimistic at the moment and will test again in a few days. Let's hope this is it! 🤞🏻
All the best for your IVF journey. I'm here if you have any questions 💜 xx

Babyvibes · 23/05/2021 20:40

I know the qe2 only do injections but cfl only do pessaries but im unsure of the other meds sorry.
When I tested later at night I did it around 8pm
