[HereToLearnAndShare]

This is a continuation from the thread "IVF at Guy's & St. Thomas' & general process/timeline discussion" /part 2

@HereToLearnAndShare it's 7 weeks pregnancy, so when I called them the day I done the test they booked me in for 3 weeks later which they said will put me at 7 weeks pregnant.

Sunday not long to go, how you coping xx

@Sarah2328 good luck today, everything crossed for you x

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me commenting here

I'm also pregnant after IVF at guys. I hit 12 weeks today and and my dating scan is at 13 weeks :)

I just wanted to ask those of you who are pregnant (congratulations!) how coming of the progesterone and oestrogen was? I am supposed to be coming off today (FET so on till 12 weeks, I think fresh is only 8?). I am petrified to come off. Did you guys wean or come off all together and were there any changes after doing so

Best of luck to everyone still on the wait ❤️

@Na1995 congratulations! You're a little behind me as I'm 12+6 today! I had a fresh transfer so wasn't on oestrogen but I was told to stop my progesterone pessaries at 8 weeks. I wasn't sure whether I felt worried about it & wanted to tail off gradually but I didn't in the end & just stopped. I had got a little attached to them though, I think purely from a habit perspective as I've been absolutely fine since then

@Etonmess20

Thank you! Aww our due days must be days apart!!

That is very reassuring to know that you’ve been perfectly fine. Definitely I think it’s become a habit for me too, I also had the irrational panic that it’s the meds that have been keeping me pregnant which I know is not true

I think I will have faith on my body and not take it tonight. Thanks for your reply :)

@Na1995 I think it's only natural to feel like that but Guys would absolutely not be stopping your meds if they weren't convinced you'd be perfectly fine. Maybe try missing tonight & see how you feel! Good luck x

Hi ladies,
I know spotting is normal bu I think my period is coming 😭 does any one have the Guys ACU mobile number for emergencies. I believed they sent it with some of the emails but I can't find it now.. I wanted to check with them if increasing the meds dose could stop it or there is no point of trying... They don't answer the phone at the clinic

@HereToLearnAndShare here you go lovely, let us know how you get on. Try not to panic xx

@Sarah2328 been thinking about you this afternoon, hope everything went well x

@HereToLearnAndShare I'm praying for you it's not your period coming, thinking of you 😘

@Etonmess20 thanks lovely, scan went really well, everything appears to be how it should be, got to see the baby's heartbeat 😍. I'm currently 7 weeks and 2 days. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 it continues.

They have discharged me from guys hospital today and told me to register with my GP. I thought I would have my 12 week scan with them? Xx

@Sarah2328 so happy to hear that!! Bet you feel like a weight has been lifted.
My GP said to register directly with the hospital so I'd check your chosen hospitals website as you can quite often self refer & they just contact you direct to arrange appointments

@Etonmess20 Thank you much for sharing the number! You are a life-saver 😘 Spoke with the doctor, he reasured me it's absolutely normal. He said increased the dose wouldn't make any change. I still feel nervous about it, but this phone call helped not to freak out completely.

@Sarah2328 I am super happy for you and the little one 💞
I also thought it's until the 12 week with Guys, but perhaps it's not a rule 🤷‍♀️

@Etonmess20 for sure it feels like light has been lifted, now into the next lot off worries to get to the 12 week mark. The stress just continues 🤣

I'm moving into my new home in January which will be Medway so do you think I should still register here and then transfer across when I move?

I'm going to guess my next appointment would be the 12 week scan right?

@HereToLearnAndShare thank you, really means a lot. I'm glad you spoke with guys to get some reassurance, I have everything crossed for you 😘

@HereToLearnAndShare luckily I've kept all the paperwork in it's own folder so I knew exactly where it would be! Glad the doctor reassured you too! Has the spotting & cramping calmed down today?

@Vparisi hope you're ok, sending love. Not much longer now xx

@Sarah2328 you should have a booking appointment at around 9ish weeks, maybe register with the hospital you'll use when you move if it would be doable to attend a couple of appointments there in the meantime

@Etonmess20 thanks for the info, I have self referred to my local hospital for now snd once i move I will get it all transferred over.

@HereToLearnAndShare thinking of you 😘

@Vparisi how you feeling, not long to go now 🤞🏻

Xx

@Sarah2328 @Etonmess20 Thank you so much ladies. I had some spotting this morning too, but now it's seems much less. After the panic yestarday I decided to do a test this morning and it was negative 😔 Still have some hopes tho. 🙏

@Vparisi good luck tomorrow 🤞💞

@HereToLearnAndShare 😔😔 sorry to here this, I pray 🙏🏼🙏🏼 you get a positive. Thinking of you x

Thank you so much for thinking of me @Sarah2328 @Etonmess20 @HereToLearnAndShare

I am in absolute shock right now. Have been testing every day and all BFNs with a BFN this morning. Just finished work and...

@Vparisi OMG sooo happy for you that is defiantly a positive line. Congratulations 😍 xx

@Vparisi OH MY GOD you don't have to squint for that!!! Have you got another test for the morning?

@HereToLearnAndShare definitely don't lose hope yet!!!

Thank you both!!!! @Etonmess20 @Sarah2328 I am honestly in total shock particularly because I wasn't getting even the faintest line this morning!!! Yes and will let you know what it says in morning. Can't believe it!! Thank you xxxx

@Vparisi yes keep us updated, soo soo happy for you, 🤞🏻 xx

@Vparisi I can imagine you are shocked!! Definitely let us know what it says in the morning. Me & DP are so so thrilled for you both ❤️

@Vparisi Aaaa 🥳🥳🥳 that's amazing! I am super happy for you!!! Imagine you are both over the moon now!

It's a proof that testing early could give false results! @canoechick
