This is a continuation from IVF at Guy's & St. Thomas' & general process/timeline discussion

@Welshpea all crossed for you ❤️

@Welshpea best of luck hun! I was fine afterwards. Didn't work the day of but worked the next day, only from home and didn't do much as it does take it out of you a bit! Let us know how you get on xx

Big week here! Crossing my fingers

Thinking of you today @welshpea
And @Etonmess20 for your phone to ring
And @morganablue @EmJay19 for your tests!

Hi @Vparisi hope you had a lovely weekend! Thank you btw, I'm going to be contacting them tomorrow afternoon if I haven't heard although I really hope I don't have to & they just ring like they said they would. Feel like August is looking unlikely as I'd need to start the week after next but we'll see when they call 🤷🏼‍♀️

@morganablue @EmJay19 best of luck today 🙏🏼 everything crossed for you!

@Welshpea hope all goes well today for you, sending positive vibes!!

Thanks ladies !!

Thanks @Etonmess20 , I definitely think you should email or call today for sure. We need to be August cycle buddies!

So DP has been super sick for 5 days and has just tested positive for covid but I am testing negative (multiple times) which is weird. I guess good thing this happened a couple weeks before but definitely a shock and just shows how careful you need to be this close to treatment.

Girls i could actually cry!
In recovery now- they got 16!! I am so happy !
I honestly believe it's because of all of you and your positive vibes you sent me ! 😭💕

@Vparisi so I've just emailed as a "follow up" which I feel is the softly approach seeing as they haven't technically broken what they told me last week (yet!) I've just basically asked when I can expect to receive contact to schedule treatment.
Ohhhh I really do hope we can be august cycle buddies 😭🙏🏼 just want it booked in now, I'm sick of waiting!

That's awful about your DP, it may be that you're incubating it currently & may begin to be positive in the next couple of days perhaps. Guess, as you say, at least you have plenty of time before your treatment! Hope he's feeling better soon & hope you don't get poorly x

@Welshpea mpg that's absolutely amazing, so so pleased for you 😍

*omg

@Vparisi ah poor hubs, hope he feels better soon! Great that you haven't got it too! What a relief 😮‍💨
@Welshpea amazing number! Glad you're ok and can't wait for tomorrow's update!
@Etonmess20 well done with the follow up, hope they get moving their butts into gear for you!!

@Welshpea amazing! Now take it very easy, I found heat pads made my life so much better after EC.

@EmJay19 how are u doing? I wanted to test today but clear blu was defective and other test was unreadable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ both test I had form ages before.It must be destiny I test on Wednesday which is my OTD (11dp5dt)

@Vparisi hoping your OH can recover soon!

@Etonmess20 fingers crossed for follow up!

Generally, last few days of TWW have been the worst possible. Today is 9dp5dt and feels like hell.

Sending good vibes to all of you ❤️

@morganablue best of luck for testing! Have you been feeling sick or is it more of a nerves thing?

@morganablue I dunno what’s going on. I was hopeful yesterday but less so today. I really do have my fingers crossed for you!!

First thing yesterday (two days earlier than I was told to) I did one test from the ACU. There was the tiniest blue smudge if you worked really hard to see it… So I did one from the coop. Same, soooo faint pink line, more smudge than line. The I did a clear blue and got a ‘Pregnant’.

This morning (one day off test day) I did another coop one. Same faint line as yesterday, I was really hoping it would be darker. Just done one from Superdrug and no line at all 😭 😭😭

I’m saving the other ACU one for tomorrow and the other coop one. The thing is, I’m worried there’s trace of hormone from implantation but have already miscarried. I’m not reading too much into the clear blue because I feel like it’s more realistic to be able to see how dark the line is.

🤞 for an actual line tomorrow 😭🤣😭🤣

DH doesn’t know what to think cause I told him categorically I was pregnant about 4 months ago even though no treatment and about 6 negative tests 🤣 (obviously I wasn’t)

This is TORTURE

@Welshpea well bloody done!!!
Such a good result. Keep us updated

That’s the coop one from today

And the bastard Superdrug one

And the ACU one from yesterday

@EmJay19 aw mate, I am with you 100%. It's torture. I only have the two ACU at home, so just bought a clear blue (the 3 in 1) so I can go fully mental tomorrow or Wednesday.
I wish they were doing Beta in this country, which is the blood test, as least you don't have to interpret these bloody devil assticks! 🙈

@becarefuloutthere honestly, I am not feeling anything aside form nervous and anxious. 😂

It's like I hoped for so long to see a double line in my life, that now that I even saw that embryo "landing" on ET, i cannot even think at having a negative on wed. But obviously I am mentally preparing for that too. Wondering, if that's the case, how long would they leave it until doing a FET with our only frozen embryo. (Cost wise, I already checked is 1,400)

@Welshpea thats a great figure! Congrats 🥳 fings crossed for yhe fertilization 🤞 are you planned for fresh or frozen transfer?

@EmJay19 ah! Try to stay positive, perhaps is just early yet? Hope tomorrow you will have a thick line!

@morganablue good luck to you on Wed too!

@EmJay19 you need to use the same brand each day so that you can see the progression easier. I'd go with FRER they're the most reliable for early testing. Good luck!
@morganablue I hear ya, they're the two overriding feelings during this time for sure!
@HereToLearnAndShare how's things with you?

@becarefuloutthere all good here. Thank you. i am actually on a holiday. As soon as they called us to say we will be starting in Aug, we bought tickets for a summer holiday. Decided to get some rest before starting the jurney 🙂 Hope you are feeling well? I assume there is no sickness and discomfort any more.

Woohoo @Welshpea that’s amazing! Sending lots of fertilised thoughts for tomorrow ✨

@EmJay19 I can definitely see the line in the first one, keeping everything tossed for you!

I know I’m going to be a nightmare in TWW!
I just wanted to ask you all what progesterone you’ve been given? When I was at my appointment Friday the nurse asked which brand I had and said is it cyclogest, that’s the best one. When I get home I realised I’ve got utrogestan which is 200mg a day less than cyclogest. I already have low progesterone and regular spotting and wonder if I can request cyclogest although probably too late now I’ve started on the utrogestan.

*crossed 🙈

@GJW2018 I am on 400mg x 2 (so 800mg) of Cyclogest. Mine is a fresh cycle, not sure if that changes anything?
