@Bluehawaii29 iv been ok so far! its not an easy time in the 2WW is it 😔

@Frenchiepupmama thank you so much! 💕

You’re going to have your work cut out researching all these products!! I think you can but only some car seats and cars. I would recommend a bottle prep machine if you’re using formula! I’m even thinking this all through now hahah

@Mochii the size the beauties are gonna get too ill be breast feeding for 12 months !! Haha

@Justawannabemam how many IVF cycles have you had before if you Don't mind me asking? Did you use embryo glue this time or endo scratch?

@Gigi89x no but you’ve done amazing to reach the end of yours. I can’t imagine this time next week. Seems like an eternity to go but it’s nice following you guys and your stories keep me going ⭐️✨

@gigi89x this was our 2nd cycle.
We used the glue I'm not sure if we did first time round .

Where are you in your cycle (sorry to ask I get lost with people stories)

@Justawannabemam did your Dr discuss with you what your monitoring is going to be now, will it be anything extra they have to do now it’s triplets? x

@Justawannabemam Such amazing news with your 3 babies! this is my first cycle, OTD tomorrow, with embryo glue

@bluehawaii29 yeh they said I would have extra.

I've to go back there in 2 weeks so they can check growth and then ill go to my local hospital at 10 weeks.

They said we'd have some tests done routine stuff for downs etc.

@Justawannabemam that’s good, reassuring to know you’ve got your checkups planned and just have to try and take it easy as much as possible. Do you have to make any adjustments with your work yet? Mine are letting me work remotely at the moment but all depends on next Friday what happens next

@Gigi89x good to know you’ve used the embryo glue as well :) this is my first time using it but second round. First cycle no one even mentioned it which is ashame and I wasn’t part of any forums so didn’t have much knowledge of what others were doing

I just burst into tears because i got some brown residue on tissue (sorry for tmi) seemed like when my period is just starting 😢 I really hope it isn't😰

@Gigi89x aww I can imagine it must have been a shock but brown residue can also be from the pessaries. Don’t lose hope for tomorrow, you can do it 🤞✨✨

@Bluehawaii29 thank you for your encouragement

I tested this morning its day 11 and OTD - unfortunately it was negative. My clinic has asked me to test again on Monday as its still early. Im not sure why they didn't just make the OTD 2 weeks, as its very disheartening having to prolong the situation 😥

@Gigi89x I'm sorry to hear that - really hoping that by Monday you get a positive

@Gigi89x aww I’m sorry it’s not a positive yet. They should have a set date and not make you wait like that as it can give false hope and prolongs the torture. virtual hug Try and take it easy today xx

@Bluehawaii29 @Overlyanxious thank you both 💖

@Justawannabemam Congratulations.You must have nearly fainted! Its a lot to deal with but it sounds like you have a great amount of family support around you. It'll be tough but amazing!

@Gigi89x

I'm so sorrry to hear this. I totally understand how horrible it feels. Hopefully you feel a bit better soon. It's never easy is it. Give yourself a break and lots of lots of self love x

@Bluehawaii29 I was just too impatient. And symptoms were quite different compare to last so I just did it.

I put mine rectally... so it's never really that easy if you know what I mean? I'm on Cyclogest twice a day, Progynova three times a day, Lubion twice a day and Arovi once a day. Feel like a pin cushion.

@Millymillymillymillymilly thank you, have my little niece round shes 3 and shes keeping me busy ☺️! How are you feeling today? How many cycles have you done ? This was a FET wasn't it? 💛

@Justawannabemam

Wow. 3 in one go! Congratulations!!!! It must been such a shock for you! When was your first scan? 6 weeks in? I'm dying to get to that stage now. Feel like it's just one hurdle after the other. First it's the test, then it's whether the embryo is implanted in the right area, does it have a heartbeat etc. It never ends does it? Really happy you, hope all goes well!

@Gigi89x That's lovely. Must be a nice distraction for you! Yes, this was a FET. I've done 2 full cycles in total. Originally we went private due to the long wait on NHS and the fresh transfer from that cycle didn't work but then NHS funding came through so we decided to start from scratch again rather than do FETs with the remaining embryos. Then, due to a change in lining thickness during stimming in the NHS round (it was still thick enough but apparently change in thickness means lining is not stable), the doctor advise to freeze all the embryos and do a frozen transfer. And this was the first transfer from our 2nd cycle.

I think my fresh transfer round may have failed due to the thickness change, I went back to check my chart and saw my lining went from 14mm to 11mm in my fresh transfer cycle. However, it may be the different protocol too? It's all a mystery how science works!

@Millymillymillymillymilly thats great to know your FET has worked! Il be doing frozen next time round! Did you have one or two transferred this time?
