13th July transfer

[Unexplainedivfat38]

Is anyone else due for embryo transfer next week? Mine is the 13th. It would be good to connect x

Mine is 24th! It's nice we'll find out close together. My clinic did test for it before we started the cycle so I was always prescribed it from the start. Why did you get tested when you did?

@Cat028 I decided to test due to two historical miscarriages (one in 2006 and one in 2009 from natural but unplanned pregnancy... the 2009 one, I didn't know I was pregnant until I miscarried on a plane and in 2006 at about 11 weeks I discovered growth had stopped around 7 weeks).
I decided I'd check progesterone as it seems to be a common cause of early loss x

@Maybebaby2022 Oh yay! 🤗 I'm so pleased to hear of all the good transfers happening. Also glad to hear the Dr remained dry 😉🤣
Do you think the acupuncture made the difference? Ive always been unsure whether to go down that route 🧐
I'm wishing you all the restraint in the world, to hold off testing until the right day... easier said than done though 😅

They took a hefty 75 eggs from me, it's why it took so long for my ovaries to shrink back down 🥲 I had what looked like an actual baby bump just from the bloating for about a month afterwards 🤢 It has done us a justice for embryos though. and I thankfully never have to go through EC again 😂🙏🏻
Had my progesterone bloods done today and I didn't get a call after to tell me they were low like I did last time 💁🏻‍♀️ so that was a plus that the injections are doing their job! I'm just really trying not to feel much about it tbh, until our embryo is finally snug in there 😂

@Cat028 Ahh, so glad you've got one in the freezer 👏🏻 bet that's a nice relief!
Sorry to hear you're feeling a little crummy though with your sleep and appetite ☹️ Are you using meds or natural? If a meds cycle, I've found the Progynova and progesterone REALLY disturb the heck out of my sleep 😩 and yet, also make me so damn tired that I need to take naps frequently like a toddler 🤣

This is when you need to get the binge-worthy series out 💁🏻‍♀️ I've made the mistake of watching all the good stuff in the lead up to my transfer 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
Are you working at all atm or have you arranged time off for the 2ww?

@JeOrdaannnn good luck with transfer today 🥰

@2021babyhope Thank you!! 🥰💕
I so need it today, I'm an anxious mess 😅 it's terrible but, I'm dreading it 🙈

@JeOrdaannnn got every confidence you'll smash it 🥰 just try to think it's more likely everything will go absolutely fine! You're in good hands 🥰 keeping my fingers crossed for you today!

Wishing you the very best of luck today @JeOrdaannnn I hope it is a completely different experience to your last transfer and everything goes smoothly 🍀🍍✨

OMG 75 eggs must be a record but that's amazing that you will never have to do egg collection again! I'm really in two minds about acupuncture, the session before transfer was probably the best I'd ever had and I felt so relaxed but after was a bit meh. Maybe because my bladder had filled back up again so I couldn't relax who knows.

@Cat028 my clinic is 9dp5dt so my OTD is the 23rd so just a day before you but I plan to test the night before. I'm feeling okay, fortunately work is super busy at the moment so I haven't really had a chance to think about it or worry today. How are you coping with the wait?

@2021babyhope Your confidence done me a justice and it was the smoothest procedure I've had so far 🤗 I was in and out within 6 minutes and now finally with an embryo on board 🤗 👏🏻 It was completely different from the 45 traumatic minutes last time 🥴

@Maybebaby2022 Thank you! 😁 it luckily went super smooth and I'm so relieved 😅 the only issue I had was the full bladder! Very almost peed myself 🤣🙈

It definitely was a record for my clinic on both eggs collected and embryos fertilised! Out of the 75 eggs collected, they fertilised 51 and we got 20 blastocysts from those 🤗 We've been so very lucky on that part, but my body 100% suffered majorly for it though 😅 Once we have our baby, it'll all have been worth it in the end🤞🏻😌

I've just seen we both have our tests on the 23rd too 🤗 Can already tell this next 9 days is going to DRAGG 😅

@JeOrdaannnn yessssss! Aaah I'm so pleased for you 🥰🥰 just a couple of weeks relaxation now! Have you got all your boxsets ready??

@Unexplainedivfat38 I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. It sucks!! I can understand why you tested for it. I also had a miscarriage last year at 9 weeks and I wonder if progesterone had something to do with it. I didn't find out if the baby stopped growing as it was over a bank holiday weekend and by the time they scanned me I was half way through my miscarriage.

@JeOrdaannnn yes! It was a huge relief when they told us about out little frozen embryo. I'm on a medicated cycle. That would explain why I'm so tired then! I was hoping it was a good sign but know meds can make you feel different too. Currently binging Chicago med. I haven't booked time off, I finished for the holidays tomorrow though. So it'll be nice to relax for a bit.

Omg!! No wonder you had to wait so long that's a huge amount of eggs to have collected. Did you suffer from OHSS? I'm so glad the transfer went well. 🥰 We will all have to keep ourselves entertained until test day!!

@MaybeBaby2022 strange how test dates vary from clinic to clinic. That's good you've been able to keep your mind on work. I'm the same at the moment but finish for the holidays tomorrow. I've been glad of the distraction. I know I'll find it harder next week. I'll have to make myself a list! 😂

@JeOrdaannnn I'm so happy to hear your transfer went super smooth, congratulations on being PUPO (or PASP as I prefer) wow you're numbers were amazing I'm assuming you had OHSS? Oh definitely, this process will be 100% worth it when we get to walk out of the hospital with our babies in our arms.

Urgh, I'm already struggling. I had a complete melt down yesterday and somehow managed to convince myself it hadn't worked at 1dp5dt 😅 only God knows how I'm going to make it through this wait.

@Cat028 tbh I'd rather be off work and fill my time with doing things I actually enjoy and find relaxing during the wait. Have you got some things planned? I've always wondered why test dates vary as 9dp5dt is technically 14dpo so surely that should be standard. Do you plan to test early or will you wait for beta?

@2021babyhope Ohh thank you 🤗🥰 I made the mistake of watching all the good stuff in the lead up to the transfer because I get so anxious waiting for it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 So I've now gone down the crime documentary worm hole 😅 Do love me a good serial killer documentary 😂
What have you decided to binge?

@Cat028 I'm really so glad they managed to freeze the one 🥰 I can imagine the relief after being told you've actually got one safe in the freezer 😌🙌🏻

I sincerely hope Chicago Med is a big ol' boxset 🤣 I've binged so much stuff in the last day I'm already running out of new stuff to watch 🤦🏻‍♀️

Although I didn't actually get OHSS thankfully due to taking Buserlin as my trigger instead of Ovitrelle, I did however have almost all the symptoms except for fluid build up 😩 I was violently vomiting for about a week after EC, couldn't keep any food or water down and the bloating was just unreal 😭 I couldn't sleep either because the swelling of my ovaries was so bad that the pain radiated right through to my back 🙄 Honestly just a whole damn month of pure torture after EC 😅 So so glad I never have to do it again!

@Maybebaby2022 Thank you! 🥰 I like that PASP mindset 👏🏻 never heard that abbreviation before and I now prefer it to PUPO 🤣
I've got absolutely everything physically possible crossed, in hopes we'll all get to walk out with our babies sometime next year 🥺🙏🏻

No OHSS thankfully due to the type of trigger use, but I mentioned above to Cat that I truly suffered for it 🥲 I've got Crohn's disease too I can safely say that, I truly have not suffered as badly or as long with a flare from my Crohn's, as I did after EC 🤦🏻‍♀️ TORTURE 😅

I 100% feel your struggle 😅 I've already had a breakdown today because I keep doing minor things, but then panicking I'm doing something I shouldn't be, or that a minor movement will be the cause and my fault if it doesn't work 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not as if IVF isn't stressful enough already, but the waiting game afterwards to even find out it's worked... AHHH🤯😅

@JeOrdaannnn can't beat a good crime doc! I always watch them too quickly 😅 well I've never seen the crown so saving that for a binge!

Finished down reg yesterday so have a 5 day break now and then start Gonal F on Saturday!

I just can't wait for my first scan to make sure everything's doing what it should! So weird to think this time next month we'll be testing!

How's your Tww going? Xx

@2021babyhope Eeeeep! I remember absolutely dreading starting all the injections and being a proper anxious mess about it 😅
But it is at that first scan when you go to see if it's doing it's magic or not, that makes you feel so much better 😌🙌🏻
After my first scan after starting the stims, I cried like a baby 😅 because I was just so pleased that I was even responding!

Sending those multiple and large follicular vibes your way 🍀🤞🏻😬

My 2ww has been proper torture so far... progesterone has made me the actual devil and I'm just like a bomb waiting to go off over anything and everything atm🥲 Me and the OH had a massive argument at 2dp5dt and I was adamant I'd ruined the whole FET with my temper 🤦🏻‍♀️ Smashed a plate and all sorts by "placing" it too violently in the sink... 😅
Be warned 😂

Hi ladies @Cat028 @JeOrdaannnn @Unexplainedivfat38 how's the wait going? Xx

@Maybebaby2022 Hey ☺️
Uhh it's absolute torture 😂 Friday can not come quick enough!
I spent the first few days symptom tracking like a dingus... and now any and all symptoms have stopped 🤦🏻‍♀️
The extra progesterone I'm on this time has also turned me into She-Hulk 😅

How're you doing? X

@JeOrdaannnn 😂😂😂 it's horrible isn't it. What meds are you on? I was originally on 1 Lubion and 2 cyclogest however I had a blood test on Monday and my levels came back lower than transfer so I've been upped to 2 Lubion and 3 cyclogest and all I wanna do from the second I wake up is sleeeeepppppppp! I don't think disappearing symptoms are anything to worry about as they fluctuate so much at this point and throughout pregnancy.

I'm okay, the TWW is sooooooo hard like literally the hardest thing ever. Constantly over analysing everything. In my last two pregnancies and in my fresh cycle I had realllly sore boobs, however this time they are completely fine no pains or aches or anything which has me a bit worried. Honestly friday can't come soon enough!

@Maybebaby2022 I'm on a weird mix of meds this time!
1x Lubion
3x Cyclogest
1x Evorel patch every other day
2x Progynova VAGINALLY 🥴 (weirdest thing I've ever had to do) And then another x2 orally.
I found that progesterone always made my boobs super sore every time I've ever been on it, so I can't even rely on that potentially being a pregnancy symptom ☹️

I'm the same with being super tired too! I slept for 12 hours last night 😂 and still woke up wanting to go back to sleep 🤦🏻‍♀️

I tell you this heat has not made the 2ww any easier, at all! 😩 I regret so much doing a cycle in the middle of summer 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 I know now for in future to ignore June/July/August for potential cycles 😅
How're you doing for keeping distracted?

@Maybebaby2022 Can I ask where or how you're storing your Lubion? 😩
My flat is currently at 30 degrees EVERYWHERE so I know it's exceeded the 25 degree temp limit 😣 The coolest cupboard is still only 29!
Can't find anything anywhere about what happens if it does exceed the temp so I'm still using it but ahh! How on earth do people in hot countries store their meds properly?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@JeOrdaannnn ooo I didn't even know you could take progynova vaginally, I'm on it orally 3 times a day. I'm actually convinced the heat is try to kill me it is wayyyyyy to hot to be dealing with the TWW I desperately want an ice cold drink or something but I've been sticking to warm or room temperature food and drinks. However I gave up on wearing socks a few days ago! I never actually thought about my Lubion in this heat I've just been worried about my cyclogest as it keeps melting so I pop it on the fridge for a couple of mins before use. I hope there's no adverse effect on the Lubion in this heat, I'm going to call my clinic in the morning to ask.

I've just been watching loads of different shows to stay distracted but I don't think anything can take my mind off it. What about you, how are you keeping distracted? Do you think you'll last till beta without testing? I don't think I will

@Maybebaby2022 When they told me to take x2 vaginally, I had to quadruple check that they 100% meant the teeny tiny oral tablets 😂😂😂 It's weirdly difficult getting something that tiny in there...🤣
My cyclogest keep melting too 😩 I just run them under cold water in the packet before I have to use them and it solidifies them just enough to put in. Found that they took too long to melt after being in the fridge, and I'd get up after the 30 minutes and they'd still have some form of shape to them 🤨
If your clinic give you any advice on the Lubion-heat situation, please do let us know what their suggestions are 🙏🏻

Oh Lordy, you've got some real patience in this heat to avoid the cold drinks 🥵 I caved after 2 days with that because it's just absolutely unbearable in my flat, even with the AC on! I hate that the heat hasn't made me commit properly to everything this time 😩
Oh to just be able to sit in an ice bath right now.. 🤤 - what used to be used as a form of torture, sounds like bloody heaven right now 😂
I've been watching Madmen for the millionth time 😂 it's my feel good show and I always love it so it has done me a justice for the 2ww. I've watched 4 seasons since Saturday... 🤣

I specifically refused to let me or the OH buy any pregnancy tests this time, because I knew I'd want to test earlier if there was one in the house 😅 So thankfully I definitely won't be 💪🏻 You don't sound so sure though 😂 If you do cave, I so wish for that big thick line to pop up 🤞🏻🍀🍍

Wishing you the best of luck for today @JeOrdaannnn apologies I didn't actually manage to speak to my clinic yesterday, I felt so low and convinced myself that it hadn't worked I literally couldn't do anything yesterday (including work). However, I'm feeling much better today and I'm hoping we both receive good news 🍀🤞🏽

@Maybebaby2022 Hey!
Don't be silly, it was only if you got a chance to speak to them 🙂 I asked today at the blood test about it anyway and they said that as long as:
• It's in the coolest part of your home
• Doesn't feel hot to the touch
• Doesn't have particles in it
• And kept out of direct sunlight
It should still be fine to use 😊

I'm just waiting on my call now for my results 😣 So anxious about it that I've been asleep since I came home this morning 😅 I couldn't get it off my mind and napping was the only thing I could think to do 🙈
Have you had your results yet? 🤞🏻🍀

Hey @JeOrdaannnn thanks for asking and letting me know about the Lubion!

Urgh still waiting on the call and omg I am sooooooooo anxious my stomach is in knots and I feel sick. I wish we got the results straight away as the wait is not fun! 😅 napping is definitely one way to pass time. I'm working so unable to nap however I did get a bit of shut eye during my lunch hour but I've been soooo unproductive at work both today and yesterday.

I'm hoping we get our calls soon and it's good news 🤞🏽🍀
