IVF/FET October/November 21 part 2

[paintfairy]

The other thread is full so I'm hoping everyone will find this!

I've read apple juice is great for constipation so I'm having a small glass daily but have read it has to be pasteurised

This has no information if it is or isn't ?! Can someone help?

@strawberrysummer19 I love apple juice so just did some research it looks as though most juices are pasteurised these days unless ther are the raw ones. How dangerous is it if it is unpasteurised? X

@Infertilitywarrior me too! And soo good for you in small quantities obviously
Not sure just read not too eat unpasteurised things and it doesn't say
X

Hey, hope everyone is coping well? Have been abit distant last few days, I do apologise...

Have had a really rough few days. So me and my other half have our own salon, one of the girls have gone down with covid, and 2 others have been off sick. Was meant to be off since Tuesday, but with no staff have been forced to work. To top it off, after transfer Monday we had a UK holiday booked, which we have also had to cancel, and we now have to work Thursday Friday and Saturday. I get this isn't anything major to a lot of you, who are super hero's and work through the whole thing, but running a 10 girl team, with 8 sunbeds, hair and beauty, is pretty damn stressful, and really was trying to avoid it. Plus with our supervisor being off with covid, that has created a whole other meltdown!

Anyway, I have my Double FET Monday.... it's finally only 2 sleeps away :) we have 3 blasts frozen, and I'm now starting to worry about % of them that make it through the thaw. Am I just worrying over nothing? Do you lose many?

After the transfer I will probably be signing out for a couple of days as I will be turning my phone off and concentrating on these embryos growing- hopefully, and I don't want work or anyone contacting me with any drama lol. So want to wish everyone all the very best and sending loads of positive thoughts to each and everyone of you x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 that does sound busy and draining! I think post-transfer it's definitely a good decision to prioritise your peace of mind and tranquility 🙂 You're almost there after waiting so long!

The vast majority of embryos survive the thaw. You do hear the occasional horror story where people lose multiple, but it's rare, and likely to be the case that there were embryo quality issues involved.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 that sounds bloody stressful also alongside all what you are going through to prepare for you FET but how exciting double transfer on Monday it's so close. I have no idea about the thawing of embryos so I'm useless with that advice but I know a fair few people who have had treatment and I've not heard of a single one thats had a problem with the thawing process but obviously that's not facts
Good luck on Monday I'll be thinking of you
Thank you for all of your support I can't thank you enough
Can't wait to hear how everything went when you're ready
Take care xxx

Thank you @Holskey @Infertilitywarrior I'm dreadful for worrying, there always seems something new to worry about with IVF too lol. Hope you are both keeping well, love how supportive everyone is. It really helps in difficult times as most people in the real world don't understand. Have found talking to people more difficult this time, as they know about the fail so just don't know how to talk to me, making me feel even more alone, so these threads make sure a big difference x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 sounds like you have a lot going on when ivf is stressful enough but you're right the worry doesn't end and somehow we find something to worry about. Re thawing, it's very rare and likely due to be because of embryo issues so those embryos would not work out in the womb either. Most clinics only freeze good quality embryos for this reason. You have a good number so there's a good chance at least two will be snuggled up inside you very soon 🤞
My most recent embryo did go down in grading upon thawing but I was assured this is very normal, I'll let you know how it goes when I test this week! Eek.

@Hufflepuff1 how exciting :) are you waiting for OTD? I will be testing Sunday lol, 6dp6dt :) x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I'm testing tomorrow, managed to resist it so far. Was convinced it hasn't worked but since yesterday I've felt nauseous and I've been extra tired so fingers crossed 🤞 it's not the meds or my mind playing tricks on me!

@Hufflepuff1 wow you have done so well, I have zero self control! That sounds very promising, I have my fingers crossed for you :) x

Here it is! Finally done my test on my otd and burst into tears with happiness! I can’t believe it. 💗💗💗 our BFP!!!

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 best of luck for tomorrow!

@makeithappen2022 congratulations!!!! Lovely news to wake up to! Wishing you both a happy and safe journey through

Thank you @BlueSilver23

Amazing news, congratulations @makeithappen2022 :)

@makeithappen2022 congratulations! Lovely lines xx

@makeithappen2022 yay!!!! Congratulations. So exciting.

Today was also my official test day at 14dp5dt (though I got a bfp on 10dp5dt). If you are wondering what happened with this mornings test... so am I!

I followed it perfectly but apparently I somehow did it wrong. I dont have any other tests in the house either. I have just been to 4 shops and none of them have any tests in stock. And everything else is closed. So having some breakfast then going to go try again to find a new test once stuff opens up. Ugh.

@makeithappen2022 congratulations!!! So amazing 💜🎊

@makeithappen2022 yay congratulations was thinking of you this morning 🎉

Thank you so much ladies. I can’t quite believe it! The support of this group is incredible 💗

Gorgeous test @makeithappen2022, congratulations! 🎊

@makeithappen2022 congratulations!! So pleased for you 💕

@AMN3000 that’s sooooo frustrating! Hope you find a new one ASAP and get the result you want

I had a lovely line this morning. I go tomorrow for hcg bloods at 11dp5dt so just hoping for a good number. I have definite nausea now and my sleep has gone weird. I am also having a recurring dream that I’m in Squid game so not having the best nights at the moment

I couldn't resist and tested too and it's a BFP!! In shock!!

Congrats @Hufflepuff1!!

@Hufflepuff1 ahhhh amazing!!! So happy for you! Test day BFP friends!!! 💗💗

@Hufflepuff1 yay congratulations 🥳. So pleased for you 💕
