We ran out of space. come and chat here instead

@clolo mine didn't come with wipes either and I didn't buy my own, lived to tell the tale!

@clolo Some of mine have come with wipes in the past, so I used the extras from them some of the time

@2mumlife ahhh that's amazing news!! So happy for you we've got such a lot of BFPs in this thread!

@clolo I never bothered with alcohol wipes - I did ask my clinic about them but they said they don't prescribe them. I haven't dropped dead from not using them!

I am completely miserable at the moment. I'm going to be stimming for at least 17 days as my follicle growth is incredibly slow - I suspect that the pill for 5 weeks and buserelin for 6 weeks has put my ovaries into a fucking coma I'm just praying that my scan on Monday shows I've made enough progress to finally take the trigger shot

@TheSnufflet I know it feels like a nuisance, but your eggs will probably appreciate not being supercharged into growth, you might get more really good quality eggs this way. Good luck for scan on Monday!

How many days post transfer is OTD if you're doing a urine pregnancy test?

@2mumlife it's about 12/13 days - I had my embryo transfer on the 2nd of June and OTD was 15th June

@Nervouslywaiting Thanks lovely. Do you know what level of sensitivity of test they want to see a positive on at that stage?

@2mumlife not sure to be honest but the clinic provided me with a test - this is how dark mine was - I did 2 because I couldn't believe it

@Nervouslywaiting That's helpful thank you! Yours are loads darker than mine. I know I'm earlier but still super faint so don't know... I guess really nothing I can do until bloods tomorrow. I really hope my clinic will do repeats if my HCG is as low as my urine tests would suggest

@2mumlife when's your OTD?

@Nervouslywaiting Today 10dp5dt. Clear blue digital said not pregnant, and whilst I think I see the faintest faint line on a clear blue dye test I might just be kidding myself. I don't think it's looking good for blood HCG this morning

@TheSnufflet Sorry for the late reply. Pergoveris is just a stims drug. I'm on a pretty basic protocol apparently
I too am at Bourn Hall, Cambs same as @Georgie87B they are really great and yes they do work Saturdays. According to my schedule my transfer is predicted for a Saturday if that helps. Fingers crossed your new dose is working for you

@2mumlife - fingers crossed for you honey! ❣️

@Nervouslywaiting Thanks. I feel at a bit of a loose end even just waiting for it to be time to leave.

@2mumlife sorry it was a v faint line today, hopefully the blood test gives you the answers either way, best of luck!

Hello all.

Just a little update from me after our slightly shocking natural pregnancy in the middle of IVF.

We had our scan today and saw a lovely strong heartbeat....and then we saw a second lovely strong heartbeat!!! It's twins! they think its non-identical! and they are about 7w and 4days! So i was about 3 weeks when we started the IVF treatment! haha

Absolutely bonkers! We are in total shock

@Bells3032 OMG!!! TWINS!!! congratulations!!!, 🎉🎉🎉🎉 sounds like you are exactly the same as me as I am also 7weeks and 4 days today 😊 got my scan tomorrow. How are you feeling??

@Bells3032 What a totally nuts rollercoaster for you! Congrats! I'm guessing various stims have meant your cycles between ECs have resulted in more mature eggs in your natural cycles for your tiny miracles!

@2mumlife we have a lot of twins in the family so we had suspected my low AMH was to do with me releasing 2 eggs a month anyway. still have no idea how we got 2 sperm that were strong enough to do this though

@Georgie87Bnks. good luck with your scan

@Bells3032 Huge congratulations! What a shock that must have been but totally wonderful news too. ❤️

@Bells3032 OMG congrats!! 🎊🎊🎉🎉 that's brilliant news!!
I've had to 2 embryos transferred so waiting to see what shows up on my scan!

@Bells3032 omg 😱 that's incredible!! What an amazing shock for you both!
@Nervouslywaiting when's your scan? Best of luck!

@becarefuloutthere it's not till the 6th of July - am soo nervous. I got pregnant naturally back in April but had an early miscarriage at week 5 - that's where I am Now so finding it hard to show my excitement in case things don't work out. Trying to remain positive!!

@Nervouslywaiting Its horrible reaching milestones where things went wrong in the past . Fingers crossed things are different for you this time
