@Gensola that's a great result, everything crossed that they keep developing well for you.

@Nerdalert pleased for you. Everything crossed for your frostie!

99pctpractice · 04/09/2021 12:59

@nerdalert great news! Congratulations on the transfer and all fingers crossed!!

@gensola sounds like everything is moving in the right direction - good luck for Monday!!

@hansoo and @katree no symptoms here either. Hope you’re both doing ok - @hansoo I have been having very weird dreams too. But before starting ivf I had a dream that I was pregnant and I definitely (unfortunately!) wasn’t, so I am putting less symbolic importance in them even if they can be freakishly realistic. @MollyVanDer if I get a cold sore now it will be the first time I have ever considered it a positive !! But fingers crossed it is a good sign for you! V impressed that you are leaving it so long to test, you have nerves!!!

MollyVanDer · 04/09/2021 13:48

@99pctpractice - I know first time I'm ever happy to have a cold sore in the hope it means something.

My DW works in A&E and she's on shift until late Tuesday so we also wanted to take the test when neither of us were needing to work that day. If it's negative then we will likely both be on a downer and if it's positive then a chance to dream of what may come next...

Hope you're holding up ok

SerendipitySunshine · 04/09/2021 16:57

If it helps @KatRee and @Hansoo I was googling "7dp5dt no symptoms" like mad a couple of weeks ago. Then I had some bleeding (I don't think it's implantation as it was day 8/9pt) and on day 10 I started to get a thin positive line, which I tested with a clearblue and said 2-3 weeks pregnant. That was only a week ago, so it's still early days, but I had no symptoms at all.

beachbum85 · 04/09/2021 17:08

@Nerdalert congrats on being PUPO!! enjoy your meal out tonight and good luck with the frostie update tomorrow xx

@Gensola that's great, I'm so pleased for you!! I hope they keep going strong till Monday xx

@2mumsandason very glad to hear your scan went well! good luck with your first stims tonight :)

@Goldilocks2528 did you manage OK at the service station??

@Jennyhunter @Hansoo @KatRee @MollyVanDer @99pctpractice sending you lots of strength and patience as well as @Bluebonnet3 and @itsmschanandlerbong - hope you're doing OK

@Hansoo I'm so sorry to hear you've been having such a bad time with the lubion - it sounds terrible :( good to hear this cream is helping you though and also great that you get a blood test on Wed

ngy21 · 04/09/2021 17:49

@Gensola that's great news your embryos are looking good! Good luck for Monday!

@2mumsandason yay! good luck with your first injection of stims. Are you doing them in the evenings?

@Nerdalert good luck with your transfer!!!

@Hansoo best of luck to you Flowers

ngy21 · 04/09/2021 18:22

@Nerdalert congratulations on PUPO! (Didn't see the messaged before I posted my last one 😅)

Lotusflower1990000 · 04/09/2021 21:19

Hi everyone just catching up! I am very behind so many people have had transfers or are very close! It is so exciting I started my stims yesterday I have my scan on the 10th to check when I can trigger and hopefully transfer on the 15th! Baby dust to everyone! Xxx

ngy21 · 04/09/2021 22:31

@Lotusflower1990000 we are very close! I started stims on the 1st and having my scans booked for Weds 8th and Fri 10th, with hopes of trigger on Sat 11th and EC on the 13th!Grin

2mumsandason · 05/09/2021 07:29

Thank you @KatRee, @beachbum85 and @ngy21. First stims injection went ok last night - just feel really pleased to have moved on to the next stage!

@Lotusflower1990000 I started my stims yesterday and have my progress scans booked for 10th, 13th and 15th with the hope of EC on 17th so around the same time too 😊.

@Goldilocks2528 how did your first stims injection go in the service station?!

beachbum85 · 05/09/2021 10:22

@2mumsandason great that it all went smoothly :) I think things will feel like they're speeding up quite a bit now!

Our Day 3 update went well today and we still have 6 embryos in the game: 4 are good quality and 2 are average. So ET will be Tuesday morning, hoping that at least one will be doing well by then 🤞🏼 🤞🏼
The embryologist will call us first thing on Day 5 so that we can get an update on the phone together, and I don't have to get the news once I'm already in there for transfer without my partner, like last time - such a relief! And if they are similar development/quality as last time, we may be able to transfer 2... Feeling incredibly nervous already and it's still Sunday...

Nerdalert · 05/09/2021 10:33

@beachbum85

Thats amazing news!! Congrats!! So happy for you! Got a good feeling about this one 😁 🍍

We just got the call, we have 2 Frosties!!

Feeling very positive today, anyone want some extra umph, come see me I've got lots to share. Have a great Sunday ladies xxx

2mumsandason · 05/09/2021 10:35

Thanks @beachbum85! That's great news for your day 3 update! Tuesday will come around before you know it 😊 Exciting times ahead!

SerendipitySunshine · 05/09/2021 10:38

Congratulations @beachbum85 - brilliant news.

beachbum85 · 05/09/2021 10:43

Thank you very much @Nerdalert @2mumsandason @SerendipitySunshine! Walking around with a big smile on my face :)

@Nerdalert - I hope your feeling is right :) 🤞🏼
Huge congratulations on your 2 Frosties - that's amazing news - and thanks for sharing your positive vibes! Have a great Sunday you too xx

Gensola · 05/09/2021 10:47

@beachbum85 congratulations on your embryos! Great news. I know what you mean about feeling nervous. I can’t settle to anything! Grin praying we have one at least tomorrow at 12 but if we have 2 we will have them both back.
@Nerdalert fantastic news on your Frosties!

KatRee · 05/09/2021 10:50

@Gensola That's great news- sounds like they are very healthy- 🤞they will all make it

Congratulations on the transfer @Nerdalert - hope you get the second blast too

Thanks @99pctpractice! Still massively overthinking everything- finding it hard to wait and see! Finger crossed for all of us in tww!

It does sound like no symptoms is pretty common, even when it's been a success @SerendipitySunshine. Have your address any symptoms now that you are a week past test day?

Great your on to stims now @Lotusflower1990000 - hope this bit goes smoothly for you and passes quickly

Glad first stims injections went well for you @2mumsandason, hope yours did too @Goldilocks2528

Glad you got a positive day 3 update @beachbum85- 🤞for Tuesday, but sounds very promising. Good that they will call you in the morning. I had my ET at 12:30 and had no morning update, so I no idea until I got there whether it was actually going ahead or not, which was really stressful. Hope you've got stuff to keep you occupied and relaxed during the wait until then xx

KatRee · 05/09/2021 10:52

Just seen your latest update @Nerdalert - brilliant news!

SerendipitySunshine · 05/09/2021 11:12

Not much at all @KatRee - I'm tired and have some slight cramps but very little, and it could be down to the lubion/cyclogest. I still test each day as I can't quite believe it.

ngy21 · 05/09/2021 11:17

@2mumsandason glad your injections well well :) excited for you to be on next stage!

@beachbum85 such great news on your embryos! hope the other 2 will catch up but your numbers are great. Good luck for your transfer on Tuesday!

@Nerdalert congrats on your 2 frosties!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Jennyhunter · 05/09/2021 11:31

Day 5 of transfer this wait is brutal got lot of cramping and sore back, hope everyone is doing well enjoy the rest of the weekend

Hansoo · 05/09/2021 11:44

Congratulations everyone.

MollyVanDer · 05/09/2021 12:29

Having a little panic right now. Excuse the details....I'm d11p5dt and I've a small amount of bleeding. My period is due tomorrow. I've not had any bleeding post embryo transfer so this has set me into a spin 😨

Gensola · 05/09/2021 12:33

@MollyVanDer don’t panic - it could be late implantation bleeding or a little bit of irritation from pessaries if you’re using them? If it keeps on going I’d call your clinic for reassurance. My friend who has just given birth to her DS from IVF also had a haematoma which was like a small bruise in her uterus and that caused bleeding but didn’t harm her baby at all, it was just a scare for her. Hope you feel ok I know how worrying it must be Flowers

MollyVanDer · 05/09/2021 12:37

Thanks you @Gensola my DW is in work today so home alone, appreciate your message. Googling day 11 spotting like mad right now
