IVF August/September cycle buddies

Starting this thread early!

We've just booked for our second round to start August 2nd with egg collection September 8th.

I was on the Jan/Feb thread earlier this year.

Come join me :)

Don't panic as could be just spotting when have you to test?

@Jennyhunter

Don't panic as could be just spotting when have you to test?

Wednesday is my 14 day home test

@MollyVanDer it could be lots of other things. All fingers crossed it stops soon and the embryo sticks! Xx

@MollyVanDer Sorry to hear this- I get why you'd be worried, but as others have said it could well be nothing. I've read lots that the pessaries can irritate the cervix and cause bleeding after repeated use, and I think a lot of women get some kind of spotting/bleeding in early pregnancy too. Keeping everything crossed for you x

Thank you for your messages @99pctpractice @KatRee

Spotting has stopped so feel better now. Will have to see how the night and tomorrow goes to find out if my period is going to start (due tomorrow).

Hope you've all had decent weekends x

@MollyVanDer really glad your spotting has stopped.
I am feeling nervous about tomorrow. We decided to put two back if we have two, so hoping that will still be possible.

Glad to hear it's stopped @MollyVanDer - hope that's the last of it x

Keeping fingers crossed they are both there waiting for you tomorrow @Gensola . Not long now til you know x

@Gensola all the best for tomorrow x

I have my egg collection tomorrow and I am now starting to get nervous!!
I feel like my ovaries are going to fall out of me soon!

Hope you're ok @mollyvander - I had bleeding the days before i got my first positive test. Not sure why as it was late for implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed for you.

@smarty14 try to get a good night's sleep. All the best for EC tomorrow x

@SerendipitySunshine thanks for sharing. It's hard to cope with the unexpected symptoms and what they mean sometimes. How are you getting on with your journey?

Good luck for tomorrow guys.

I'm just thinking test or not to test in the morning. I had ET Monday of the week just gone and they were day 5s, grade 5AA. The blood test is Wednesday.
I havent felt anything. No implantation bleeding. I have a slight feeling that I would normally associate with coming on a period but I know that is a side effect of lubion.

I have two clear blue test. Not the ones that detect early but the more standard ones that tell you how many weeks pregnant you are.

@MollyVanDer I'm so glad the spotting has stopped and I can understand the panic, but hopefully it won't come back and neither will your period show! I have everything crossed for you xx

@Gensola I'll be thinking of you tomorrow at 12 and hoping that you have 2 to transfer! xx

@smarty14 good luck for EC tomorrow too - it's sooo nerve-wrecking but I hope you find it much easier than you expect xx

@Lotusflower1990000 glad you've started stims and I hope everything is going smoothly :)

@Hansoo I'm afraid I don't know much about testing but I have heard that the digital tests are less sensitive so you might want to wait until you can get hold of an early response one?

Many thanks @Gensola @Hansoo @ngy21 @KatRee and definitely fingers crossed for Tuesday - I know the biggest drop-off is yet to come... @KatRee that's exactly what happened last time, but the clinic seemed more than happy to give us the extra call in the morning, thankfully! I've had a busy day out and will be working tomorrow so hopefully that will keep me focused on other things...

Good luck tomorrow for ET @Gensola !

Good luck tomorrow for EC @smarty14 !

@beachbum85 gift luck for Tues ET!

Congrats @Nerdalert on yesterday's ET and great news about your frosties!

Hope you can both stay sane and hold out for Wed test day @Hansoo and @MollyVanDer ! Who else is testing this week, @KatRee @99pctpractice ? Sorry, I've lost track. This thread is moving so fast! My OTD is Thurs.

Hope all who are stimming are doing well and aren't getting too many side effects! For me, getting lots of rest (taking naps or going to bed early) and staying hydrated seemed to help. And wearing loose clothing!

I didnt test. The ones I had were for missed period

Hey guys! New week and fingers crossed for more positive news.

Good luck @Gensola with your ET, let us know how it goes :)
and @smarty14 good luck to you too, hope you recover quickly from EC.

@beachbum85 only 1 day to go!

@Bluebonnet3 do you think you will test early?!!! and thanks for the advice, i think staying hydrated definitely helps and getting into the habit of going to bed early. Definitely gonna go and get some more loose t shirt dresses, loose clothing is a big thumbs up

Good luck to everyone this week, whether testing, stims or just scans :)

I am hoping this week is last week of stims and no more injections, woop!

@Hansoo are you going to get an early detection test or wait till Wednesday? Fingers crossed for you!

Good luck for today everyone.

I have picked up a couple of early detection tests on amazon for about 6 quid..might do one tomorrow and one Wed

Looks like it's a nothing busy week with EC's, ET's and tests! I wish everyone the best of luck and fingers crossed for some positive news! 🙏

We had 2 5AA blastocysts and 1 grade C so their advise was to transfer just one of the 5AAs and freeze the other two. Grade C is the lowest my clinic freeze, and they said it would be viable.
So I have one 5AA on board and one in the freezer! So much better than last time (ended up with 2 grade C, neither implanted). OTD is 17th Sept

Hope EC goes well @smarty14

I have blood test at clinic Wednesday morning, but I have one FRER in the bathroom so think I'll use it before I head to the clinic. I'm used to seeing negatives on stick tests so think I'll find it a bit easier to get the result that way. I have taken all of Wednesday off work so I have some time to myself to process it.

Wow @Gensola , that's an amazing result- congratulations!

Great news @Gensola
