New thread created from previous

Thanks everyone. Although I am sad, I feel kind of relieved just knowing this has come to and end now. I knew the chances of a baby were minuscule and the waiting was torture. Good luck with all your cycles and pregnancies!

@xreadytoglow thank you appreciate it

@bluehawaii29 - I’m not entirely sure to be honest, I didn’t realise it was so unusual until I’d read about it on here. I think they just felt it was a very low chance of success (had quite immature eggs which is ironic as somebody who has always been very mature for their age!).

@EasterBunny7 really sorry to hear that this cycle was cancelled after all your efforts since January, I hope the new changes improve the lining faster in the next cycle and that it comes around quick xx stay in touch x

@Mochii aww You tried your best and gave it everything and I’m sorry to hear they said the sac was empty, I hope you are ok and your little one is giving you lots of love xx she will have a sibling one day soon I’m sure

@Frenchiepupmama wow that’s amazing news. So glad you can take a sigh of relief now and enjoy the next weeks/ months. I’m sure the antenatal team will take good care of you from herein xx

@Mochii oh no that's awful news, I'm so sorry. You've been on such a rollercoaster.

@Frenchiepupmama congratulations!!

@EasterBunny7 that's so annoying, I'm so sorry. Not only do we physically prepare, but I find the mental preparation equally as exhausting. If it's any consolation that happened to me for my first baby. I started on 3rd January in 2020 and the buserelin actually stimulated my ovaries, the nurses didn't believe me that something was wrong, they just kept saying just wait for your period. Then it never came. They scanned me and I had 12 follicles each side. They cancelled immediately. I had to wait six weeks and then start again. But that transfer is now my first so hang in there.

@PaxRomana I think they normally do say first cycle is more like a trial. Wishing you the best for the upcoming one and hope the egg quality can improve with the new changes xx

I’ve had that rash return with vengeance this evening. I know I shouldn’t be googling it but came across progesterone hypersensitivity rash. Anyone heard of this? Also some articles talking about such a thing as implantation rash but I just hope it’s not my body reacting to the embryos. It’s like a blotchy reddish urticaria type rash. Was on my chest and arms and side of breast/ slightly on tummy. Called my clinic and they said to continue on the progesterone but might need antihistamine. I wasn’t keen on taking it so put E45 cream instead. Soothed it a bit for now but it’s a bit worrying

Hi All, I've been away taking a break before my review meeting next week.

@Mochii I can't imagine what you're feeling 💔 all I can say is take some time and grieve, have a good cry it really helped me when I did. Sending love ❤

@Frenchiepupmama You bring hope to all of us, have a healthy pregnancy ❤💐

@Bluehawaii29 thank you. I have grown connected to this group, and I am keen to hear how it goes for all of you. I don't know whether I'll fall into the March cycle again but I hope people don't mind if I stuck around?

@IE00

Such a blessing you have your first through successful ivf

Wishing you success again.

Do you mind if I ask you why it took 6 weeks to restart?

@EasterBunny7 of course it’s lovely to hear from you too and we have formed a group here. It’s nice to have all your support

@EasterBunny7 my ovaries were huuuge. They needed two weeks to calm down and I took anti-blood clotting injections. Then I went on the pill for three weeks, after the withdrawal bleed I started my cycle. So maybe it was five weeks. It might not be like that for you since yours was the opposite reaction. Fingers crossed!

@Mochii I'm so sorry to hear your news. I can understand the small sense of relief. I hope you have the time to process the grief and come back fighting if that's what you want.

@PaxRomana and @ty1982 sorry to hear your news.

@Frenchiepupmama congratulations. What stage are you? 7.2 weeks? Brilliant to be discharged into the "normal" pregnancy sphere. One small step at a time!

@Bluehawaii29 I didn't have any symptoms 3dpt. Like others, I had lots of period-like pains from about day 7. Got a positive on FRER on day 8 confirmed by the bloods on day 10. 14 days is a long time to wait for OTD! Sending patients, calm and baby dust!

Thank you everyone for your kinds words. Honestly this group has helped me right from the start, from the unknown,the process, the fears and the worries (and the worries I continue to have) like @easterbunny7 had mentioned, I also would like to keep in the chat to see how everyone is getting on. Wishing everyone all the very best on their journeys✨

@W1ngingit heyy thanks for letting me know. I haven’t had any period pain so far, just a bit of gurgling noises in the tummy/ dull ache and hot at night similar to pre AF. Not sure what that means

@Bluehawaii29 Oh, you've reminded me. I got night sweats. Terrible night sweats from about 10 dpt. I don't normally get them before AF, so that might be a good sign.

@W1ngingit hey it wasn’t white night sweats this time. Just feeling very warm and thirsty waking up with dry mouth through the night. I had night sweats on my failed cycle so this morning I woke up feeling quite upset and ended up crying after feeling the bad memories of last cycle coming back. I booked next Friday off now as I am saying to myself that’s the day I’ll test and not give myself pressure of testing earlier. I kind of wanted to do it next weds but my OH is going to the office next tues and weds and don’t think I can do it without him 😔

*quite not white

I'm starting to get anxious for test day tomorrow! For the first time.. I'm getting the feeling of not wanting to test! Where as last time that's all I did! Now I just don't want to see that negative test !

Everything crossed for you guys @IVFGotThis05 @Bluehawaii29 I'm sending you so many positive vibes 🤍🤍

@IVFGotThis05 hoping you see that double line. You've done well to hold out . Xx

@IVFGotThis05 I know how you are feeling. Have you got the day off tomorrow? It’s very scary but you are strong and you can do it. Have you had any symptoms yet? I’m feeling quite under the weather today and just curled up on sofa watching movies

@xreadytoglow @Justawannabemam Thank you for you lovely words of encouragement, it really does help !

@Bluehawaii29 I'm not sure, I've had some back pain but I do suffer with a bulging disc so I can never pin point whether it's just that! Sometimes I think I've had little cramps but honestly can't say for sure .. I think I just think anything I feel could be anything really so I've not wanted to say it is a symptom! Ah that sounds like a lovely afternoon ! I don't have the day off :( but if it's bad news I doubt I'll be coming in!

@IVFGotThis05 aww yes I had a return of my back pain yesterday. Had to cut walk short because of it and didn’t want to risk going back out and aggravating it today even though it’s so nice and sunny out there. I get bit crampy on and off but didn’t notice it really from day 1-3. It’s true that it can be meaningless so that is what frustrates me more. I really hope tomorrow is your day and wishing you all the best 🤞🤞✨ I never watched despicable me before but started watching the first movie yesterday and really enjoyed it so spending today watching 2 and 3 this is my husbands last day off so trying to make the most of our time. Hope you can take your mind off things for a bit too. How was your bake sale? xx

@xreadytoglow thank you for your positivity ✨🤞

@IVFGotThis05 all the best for tomorrow!! I hope you get a BFP! 😊

Did you guys get provided with pregnancy tests from your clinics? Mine didn't provide any, which i was surprised at, as i was expecting they'd give me some super sensitive ones 😆
