My OTD is 4th june @2mumlife X

Alexm06 · 02/06/2021 19:25

@strawberrysummer19 well hopefully the egg transferred will be the only one you need!

@jolly86 yeah I was on short protocol. Yeah I have to I think it's really just luck most of the time. This was also my last funded cycle so I will have to pay if it doesn't work. Same to you hopefully the one transferred will be the one!

2mumlife · 02/06/2021 20:17

@jolly86 Fingers crossed for you for the 4th!

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 22:01

@TinyPaws thank you! Good to hear about your embryos. Was there a reason you didn't transfer fresh?
@C1aire85 congratulations 🎉 must be a nice feeling! Will you find out tomorrow about the ones still being monitored?
@strawberrysummer19 is that your amh that is 5.6? Mine is 5.4 and I'm 35! Got that a month before I turned 35 too 😬 no one suggested I take anything for it tho. I wonder if it because my afc was higher (12 at the time).
My menopur dose was 300 whilst stimming.
@2mumlife good luck for the morning and afterwards sounds like fun! Enjoy 😊

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 22:02

@jolly86 good luck for Friday!! 🍀

C1aire85 · 02/06/2021 23:05

Thanks guys :) Yes hopefully will get a call tomorrow so we know how the others are doing. It's only been a few hours and I'm already anxious...these next 10 days are going to go so slowly 🤯

strawberrysummer19 · 03/06/2021 08:07

@notyetamumbuttrying yes that was my AMH. Thing is if my dose is lowered then maybe I won't respond? That's my fear.
I did think 450 was very high x

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 08:10

@C1aire85 I bet! Hopefully they call in the morning.

All of us must have gone through EC now and have embryos on board or waiting to transfer. I'm trying to remember back to the list of thread 1. Pretty sure I was last with a few others.

Can't remember who was saying about the prolonged pain after EC but I've woken up today in terrible pain! Only took painkillers on Tuesday and was fine yesterday and didn't take any. Now I've just boshed 2 co-codomol Confused

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 08:10

@strawberrysummer19 when will you get chat to the consultant again?

strawberrysummer19 · 03/06/2021 08:17

@notyetamumbuttrying yes we get a consultation after finding out the result, so assume if it's negative we get to book a chat so least that's something. Not that he can answer why they didn't take but maybe give us some closure possibly as I feel it's doing my head in when we had such a good fertilisation rate.

It was me that had an absolute hell time after EC
I felt sick, nausea and had bad tummy for 24 hours. I felt so ill. My stomach was rock hard and I felt so drained. The clinic said I may not be able to transfer when I called for advice but by day 3 the nasty symptoms had gone and only really until day 5 did the uncomfortable feeling go away x

Louweeze · 03/06/2021 08:19

Hi @TinyPaws sorry I've been a bit MIA recently. Yes I had a 3AB transferring on Monday afternoon! And got a 3BA to freeze so I was really happy happy that! Just feeling really anxious about whether it was worked now this wait is the worst!!

How is everyone else that has had tranfers recently? Any symptoms?

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 08:29

@strawberrysummer19 ok, good that you get the chat then. I hope they can provide closure!
Ah I thought it was, but wanted to be sure before I asked you. I'm glad it passed. It's weird cos I was fine yesterday but today I was writhing around in bed and haven't started my day yet. Will be late to turning my laptop on now but I really don't care 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Louweeze do you think you'll early test or wait until otd?

@clolo do you get to start down regs soon?

strawberrysummer19 · 03/06/2021 08:33

@ I hope so, we shall see.
I hope you feel better soon
Make sure you are resting and I drank lots of coconut water and some lucozade sport as it's got electrolytes in it which I read can help xx

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 08:36

Thank you @strawberrysummer19 will get Dh to get me both at lunch today. X

strawberrysummer19 · 03/06/2021 08:44

@notyetamumbuttrying also plenty of fluids so I did just water as I normally drink weak squash and also milk which helps
I felt better within a day and a half so I thought that was pretty good x

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 09:27

@strawberrysummer19 thank you 🙏🏾

Louweeze · 03/06/2021 09:50

@notyetamumbuttrying the temptation is real 🤣 I just ordered 2 frers on amazon so I think it's highly unlikely I'll make it to otd on 12th! I know they say to wait but I'm defo in the 'I'd rather just know' camp. I'm in Bournemouth with DP this weekend and would like to test on the Sunday then if its a positive I'll have actually been somewhere when I found out. But I'll only be 5dp5dt at that point and I think that's too early to get a reliable result. Defo don't want to pick up the hcg from the injection and think I'm pregnant when I'm not! Are you feeling any better now you've had some co-codamol?

C1aire85 · 03/06/2021 10:28

@notyetamumbuttrying I second strawberrysummer with the coconut water ... I felt much better the day after drinking that. Hope you start to pick up soon :)
@Louweeze I'm with you on knowing I'm going to cave. Just done something soooo ridiculous ... I only transferred yesterday but I just tested!!! Wanted to see if the hcg from trigger would be detected so if I test early, which I just know I will, and it's positive I can rule out trigger shot hcg. I'm slowly losing the plot aren't I 😂

@Louweeze Congrats on 1 to freeze!

@notyetamumbuttrying Lining was 7.12, which seems to be on the lower end of ok from what I've heard. But will see what clinic say when they call later with the action plan.

StrongEagle · 03/06/2021 10:47

@C1aire85 defo not losing the plot! That would be me. But also I have read this quite a few times, where people keep testing so they see the trigger shot leave their system x I am getting an FET transfer on Monday and I know I will be testing so early even though I would prefer to wait I have zero self control 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 11:14

@Louweeze I don't think I could wait the full two weeks either! Your plan for Sunday sounds sensible I think.
I am thanks, trying to drink lots of water now. Dh is going out at lunch for the coconut water.
@C1aire85 thank you! Did the test come out positive? I know ppl test out the trigger so it's not that stupid! ♥️
@clolo ah ok, that's good then! Glad all is on track. I'm ok waiting for now, I think I'll feel incredibly twitchy on Saturday tho 😬
@2mumlife good luck for that call! 🤞🏾

C1aire85 · 03/06/2021 11:56

@notyetamumbuttrying ... it was negative! Was expecting it to be positive - trigger was exactly a week ago today but hoping it is now out my system. Hope you are resting up and looking after yourself today X

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/06/2021 13:16

@C1aire85 popped out to coop for lunch and other than that I've brought my laptop to the sofa rather than the kitchen table, so at least I'm comfier here. Sounds like it's out the system then, and now the wait to test for real 😧 🤞🏾

2mumlife · 03/06/2021 15:29

@notyetamumbuttrying They've not called yet but my drug diary has been updated to show starting progesterone on Sunday, so I think transfer is either next Friday or Saturday (I'm not entirely sure exactly how many days I'm on progesterone before the transfer). Good news is, I'm on annual leave all next week, so looks like I luckily wont need to do a 4+hour round trip during break away, and will be will rested and hopefully super zen before embaby comes onboard Grin
