IVF/FET March/April 2022 thread 3

[Autumn245]

New thread, I'm trying to tag everyone but it's not letting me! I will try add as many as I can x

@Steph2345 thanks for sharing but I already had the sperm tests and thankfully have 5 good quality embryos, I think I need testing within my uterus as to why the embryos are not implementing. Yes I was thinking the nhs would not find any additional tests

@Herewegoagain881 @Nutrinerd How you doing?

I'm in Pembrokeshire in the van, thanks @PMAmostofthetime for the suggestion! It's lovely to have a change of scenery.
Vanlife vlogs back today. I've not missed having to film everything 🤨

Canceled my 9 weeks private scan last week and rebooked it again yesterday. Honestly I'm never doing this again. I've always wanted 2 children but I'll stick with 1, hopefully.

@unCliche Congratulations on the BFP!

@Amyhope123 You could try taking your test results to another clinic and having them reviewed to see if anything has been missed? When it comes to tests, private clinics will test for anything and everything, but it does come with a hefty price tag.

@AliceAbsolum Pembrokeshire is lovely - we went on holiday there last week. Very jealous!

DH tested positive for Covid on Friday. I've banished him to the spare room at night, but with toddler DD it's impossible for him to isolate during the day. DD picked up a nasty cold last week at nursery - we think she probably brought it home and we just presumed it was a cold. Now I'm trying to distinguish between pregnancy symptoms and possible Covid ones 🤦‍♀️

@AliceAbsolum mostly hanging over the side of the bed with plastic bags/bucket and revising my family size ambitions!
Had a repeat scan and consultant appointment this week that were reassuring. Yolk sac looked normal size and shape on this scan (? Measured wrong on last scan) and growth is ok - still on the lower centiles but clearly following that line and growing. Have got screening and 12 week scan booked in and going to try and avoid any scans until then! How are you finding the travel? I’m not so good with motion at the moment!

I am trying to follow everyone’s news, sorry I’ve been quiet, just can’t even face screens quite a lot of the day! Hoping new antiemetic cocktail will revive me a little!

@AliceAbsolum hope the weather is being kind to you :)
It's a beautiful place.
How far along are you now?

@Nutrinerd hope the nausea gets better for you soon.

How's everyone else doing?

@Nutrinerd oh no, is it HG? Hope you get some relief with the meds.
I'd prefer to be more sick but I know that's a ridiculous thing to say!
Travel is good, I'm hungry and tired a lot of the time, but able to walk a few miles each day so it's good to be outside.
@PMAmostofthetime 8+5. Today is the day I miscarried last time, so it's a difficult week. This 2 month wait after the 2ww is an absolute killer. But what can you do but take it one day at a time.
@ginandtonicformeplease Glad things are going well, apart from Covid. Fingers crossed whatever virus you have is mild!

5dp5dt 🤯🤯🤯 back to work on Wednesday. It might distract me from waiting to test.

@Nutrinerd ugh hope the nausea passes soon!!

@ginandtonicformeplease gope you avoid the dreaded covid!! Or at least it’s mild if you do get it!!

Had my first appt today for FET. Just for bloods so they can predict ovulation. Results back this afternoon and nothing yet so back again wed and fri for more bloods. Hoping for transfer end of next week 🤞🤞
I can’t believe how quickly it has come around.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

@AliceAbsolum hope this week goes fast for you. And smoothly of course.

Do you have another scan booked?

X

Thanks everyone 😊

@Steph2345 The logical part of me acknowledges the success but I'm not really feeling any emotion towards it. I will be having my beta bloods on Wednesday so I suppose my clinic will find out then! I've been testing daily just to make sure it's still there but I'll stop after Wednesday and await my 6 week scan.
Aw congrats! That's really lovely news about the heartbeat! I'm sure it was a really overwhelming experience. I'm happy for you! It's a shame your ovaries aren't fully recovered but I suppose it doesn't matter because everything is going wonderfully well for you and I hope it continues to do so!

6dp5dt and I caved. It could still be the trigger in my system. Will keep testing each morning to see if the line gets darker

@Thirdtimesacharm1 definitely not the trigger, that's a solid line. Congrats!

@Thirdtimesacharm1 everything crossed for you! Good luck!

@Thirdtimesacharm1 that looks like a great line, have you tested again today?

@AliceAbsolum whoof, I hope you got through the difficult day okay. And that you are able to enjoy everything a little bit more now? How are you feeling?

@SamTTC I did. The attached picture is 5dp5dt, 6dp5dt and 7dp5dt (to the right)

@Thirdtimesacharm1 Is the top one the most recent?

@SamTTC No enjoyment as of yet. I think I'll start to relax around 12 weeks. Scan on Friday booked so I'm looking forward to that. Just taking it easy and wishing the weeks away really. Early pregnancy is kicking my arse

@AliceAbsolum apologies the photo uploaded sideways. Yeah the top test is this mornings at 7dp5dt

Wonderful! That's some clear progression right there. Congratulations!

@AliceAbsolum fingers crossed.

@Thirdtimesacharm1 There is definitely progression. Congratulations!!

@Thirdtimesacharm1 congratulations! That's definitely a line.

@AliceAbsolum I'm worrying as this time early pregnancy doesn't seem to be kicking my arse as much as last time! But I also have Covid, so I don't know which part is Covid kicking my arse, and which part pregnancy. I called my midwife, and they have a specialist Covid midwife now who's going to call me back. I'm trying to tell myself that it's no different to getting mild flu in pregnancy, but it's the unknowns with Covid

8dp5dt 😍🥰😍🥰

Whoop whoop! Lovely lines :))

@ginandtonicformeplease What did the covid midwife say?

@Thirdtimesacharm1 that is awesome!

@ginandtonicformeplease im sorry you ended up catching covid after all! Let us know what the covid midwife says. I like that they have one of those now.

I am just back to waiting, it’s cd9 today and I just had a scan, my lead follicle was 10mm so I’m back for another scan on Sunday. Once I’m ready to inject ovidrel it’ll be another week until my transfer. Im worried my luteal phase will be long enough, but I suppose nothing to do but wait and see. I’m really enjoying not being on any drugs this time, at least.

@Thirdtimesacharm1 wow great lines, congratulations.

how is everyone doing?
