Hi Smile
I started my stims on Wednesday as the beginning of my long protocol for my FET.

I am looking at end of October for my transfer 🤞🏻

I have PCOS and had ISCI for our treatment.
We have 4 blastocysts frozen!

Looking for any cycle buddies that are transferring around the same time 🙏

Congratulations @Holskey ! I hope everything comes back good with your bloods @LemonyT ... I had my PCR yesterday for my transfer on Thursday.. have a sore throat, no temp or cough or loss of any senses.. just a red throat that feels like there is a lump there. I look 2 lateral flows that were both negative but worrying myself that the PCR will come back positive. Really hope not as everything so far has gone to plan- it's been bloody long but has gone to plan. Mine is a FET with a day 5/6 embryo so I think I get to test at 9dpo instead?

Thanks Guys. And congrats @Holskey that’s great news Smile you prob did on another thread! There are so many - I’m sure there are about 5 October threads! But thanks again! @J2020m hope your PCR is negative for your transfer! Strange my clinic didn’t ask for a PCR test before my transfer this time.

Holskey · 26/10/2021 08:31

@J2020m thank you 😊 My clinic didn't ask for any evidence I didn't have covid either, which was a pleasant surprise (who needs an extra thing to worry about?!) Hope your pcr comes back negative.

Azahar8 · 26/10/2021 08:39

@Holskey Congratulations!! Have you had any symptoms since your transfer?

@LemonyT Fingers crossed for your blood results!!

@IVFhadenough Welcome :)

@J2020m I'm sorry you're unwell, when will you have your PCR results? Try not to worry, if you had covid the lateral flow tests would have probably shown that.

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 08:48

@holskey congratulations!! That's great news. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@Azahar8 thank you for the welcome!

Holskey · 26/10/2021 11:46

Thanks @Azahar8 & @IVFhadenough Smile

@Azahar8, yeah I had some very slight nausea 5dp5dt onwards (I didn't get that so soon with my previous successful FET though) and cramping, which I guess is normal either way 🤷‍♀️

Sweet211 · 26/10/2021 17:07

Hey all thanks for the responses and welcome to the newbies I can’t keep up with responses. Still got this cold I’m trying to get rid of before Friday. Can I drive after transfer? It’s just the school runs from next week I have an auto car not manual. I’m going to try and keep my feet up.

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 17:23

Has anyone woke up 1DPT and felt rotten? Had a sore head and feeling exhausted all day. Feeling a bit like I’ve been hit by a bus! I don’t remember this on my previous two rounds!

53rds · 26/10/2021 17:32

@IVFhadenough I had a headache for the first couple of days after transfer, apparently it’s normal with all the hormonal changes. I’m only 5dp5dt though so no idea if it bodes well or not.

LemonyT · 26/10/2021 18:59

I didn’t have any symptoms other than a bit of slight cramping - maybe some brief lightheadedness but only occasionally. Still not really had any symptoms.

But today I got the call and my hcg is 1723!!! I’m so shocked! I’d have been happy with 400 as that’s the highest my hcg has ever been and here I’m only 13dp5dt! We’re over the moon -and wondering if it might be a multiple pregnancy?!

Can’t wait for the scan. I’m a little teeny slightly bit more relaxed now than before, but I know there’s a ways to go yet. Still … can’t believe it!

Holskey · 26/10/2021 19:03

Amazing @LemonyT! I'm so happy for you 💕

LemonyT · 26/10/2021 19:13

Thanks :)

Azahar8 · 26/10/2021 19:38

That's so exciting @LemonyT, wish you all the best :)

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 20:04

@53rds it’s strange. I normally struggle horrifically with the buserelin and I get instant relief as soon as those injections stop. I didn’t do too badly this time round pre-transfer, but today has knocked me off my feet quite a lot.

Odd!! Hopefully just a weird day as I know it’s too early for it to be anything significant.

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 20:05

@LemonyT fantastic numbers 🤩 how exciting! What a huge relief after your beta. I wish my clinic did betas, I do find it so helpful for settling the nerves one way or another.

LemonyT · 26/10/2021 20:41

Thanks gang, I hope there’s a lot more BFPs on this thread! I’ll update with the scan if the threads still going by then! X

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 20:49

@LemonyT ha, yes… stick around as you can rub off some of that good luck charm onto us! 🙈

53rds · 26/10/2021 22:05

@IVFhadenough - do you suffer from migraines? They can be a hormonal thing.

@LemonyT - congratulations, best wishes for a healthy 9 months

Holskey · 26/10/2021 22:29

@53rds when is your OTD and will you test sooner? I just re-read the thread to see if you had answered that already and saw you got 19 blasts! It's great that 10 of those are healthy 😊

53rds · 26/10/2021 22:32

@Holskey my OTD is next Tuesday, I think I’m going to hold out, I’ll drive myself nuts if I get a bunch of different results over different days! Just hoping to keep busy over the next week

IVFhadenough · 26/10/2021 22:33

@53rds they can indeed, and I do. I also have raised intracranial pressure. So I was struggling to decipher if it was my head or my eyes. Blurred lines sometimes!

Azahar8 · 27/10/2021 14:05

@IVFhadenough Hope you are feeling better!

@J2020m Good luck with your transfer tomorrow!

@LemonyT Have you been advised to carry on with Lubion?

I have a lining scan tomorrow and I'm really nervous...

LemonyT · 27/10/2021 16:56

@IVFhadenough yes of course. I will be a lurking lurker as I want to check in on you guys - and support/ congratulate you all :)
@Azahar8 yes. We only had enough for a couple days after the official test day, so was a mad rush to get another prescription as well as go out and grab some more, but luckily Asda had some in stock! If all goes well at the 7week scan it’ll be another mad rush for the next prescription I imagine.

LemonyT · 27/10/2021 16:57

Oh and Good luck with your scan tomorrow! Natural to be nervous.

@J2020m hope your transfer goes well!

LemonyT · 27/10/2021 16:58

@FETOCT2021 hope everything went well for you today
