ICSI - embryo transfer complete!

[peanutpending]

Hi everyone - just wondering if there is anyone out there who has recently had their embryo transfer or going through their ICSI treatment now?

I had my embryo transfer (5AA grade) this weekend and feel a bit surreal!

It would be lovely to speak with anyone whose going through it right now xxx

Had anyone told their GP about their pregnancy? I haven't yet as I'm still under the care of the private clinic who said they'd pass me back to the NHS after the 7 week scan. I feel weird not telling them! They didn't tell me to tell them so I'm not really sure! Xx

@peanutpending I told them sort of, they're usually really good at getting patients appointments but I didn't bear from them after filling in the online form for 2 days. I only got in touch to ask for more thyroxine dosage as I'm on a small dose daily for subclinical hypothyroidism, and you're meant to immediately up the dose. Finally got a Livi appointment and got the meds but gp themselves haven't replied with any bloods or midwife appointments. My private IVF clinic keeps you on til 8 weeks but I'd like the care to run simultaneously really as they don't do the bloods a midwife would do I think.

Unfortunately for me my lines didn't get any darker and my other test come back negative I have left messages over the weekend with my clinic but I think for me my journey is over 😭.

I really wish you both the best of luck ❤️ @peanutpending @Imisscoffee2021

Oh I'm so sorry @Pippamorgan. I hope you and DP are OK xx have you got any embryos frozen or another round in future? Really hope your clinic can give you some hope for next try xxx

Thanks @Imisscoffee2021 - I'll give them a call tomorrow. Sorry you're having some trouble with it all!

@Pippamorgan I really am so sorry to hear this. Please keep talking to us and if we can help at all, let us know. Yes as @Imisscoffee2021 asked, do you have any frozen? Wishing you all the luck on your next round xxxxx

@peanutpending @Imisscoffee2021
Thank you both, I don't, this was the only embryo that fertilised and made it to day 3. We are absolutely devastated just hope the clinic can get some answers for us and how to go further. Xx

I'm so sorry @Pippamorgan ❤️ it's heartbreaking. I Hope they find the answers and get to the bottom of it all. Xxxx

@peanutpending how are you doing? I had a random little fresh red bleed on Thursday and freaked out, had an early 6 week scan yesterday and saw the bean and its heartbeating! Tiny bit of fluid near sac from implantation that will work its way out as spotting apparently, so although scary was normal, really don't want anymore!

Hey @Imisscoffee2021 - I'm okay thank you. Paranoid little bean isn't there as I've resisted testing but may test tonight. Scan isn't for another week. Oh wow I bet you were worrying!! I'd be freaking out. Every time I go to the toilet in half expecting to see it but haven't as of yet! I have read it's normal! Awwww I bet that was amazing!!! Does it feel more real?? Xxx

Definitely feels more real!but a word of caution on testing this far gone, I had a depressed morning when my lines got fainter and thought I was losing it, then read about the hookneffect where hcg is so high it bleaches the trst effectively. So I diluted 70% water with 30% FMU and the lines were super dark again, so don't freak out if you get fainter lines! I'd had a dye stealer frer where you couldn't even see the control line and then a few days later the control line appeared again, was gutted tol I found out about the hook effect!

I've never heard of this @Imisscoffee2021 - I definitely had some dye stealers as the control line was much lighter than the test line! I freaked out about that as well 😂

Yeah I had lovely dye stealers then the trst linenstaryed sort of giving colour back to the control line, turns out its because the hcg was too high not that it was dropping :) thank goodness for Google and these forums!

@Imisscoffee2021 this is tonight's! I'm hoping as that vertical line is so dark it's a good thing. The horizontal line looks quite light!

Honestly I'd be lost without these conversations 😂

Looking fab! Whens your scan? Have you done any digital weeks one yet? Seeing that climb from 1-2 and then 3+ gave me peace of mind :) I'm technically 6 + 1 today but scan dated me 6+1 yesterday, had a scan a few days before that put me at 5+3 so bean clearly had a growth spurt!

Awwww @Imisscoffee2021 that's great news! Yeh I did do a couple of digital ones. First one was 1-2 then the next 2-3 but haven't done one since. I was scared jt would be 1-2 again 😂

Scan is 29th @Imisscoffee2021 xx

@peanutpending @Imisscoffee2021

Hi ladies, just wondering how you both are doing x X

Hi @Pippamorgan , thanks for thinking of us :) so far so good, had scans and nhs nuchal tests and bloods all came back normal, am 14+2 today :) how's yourself?

Hi @Pippamorgan and @Imisscoffee2021 - lovely to hear from you! How are you both?? I'm currently 14 weeks and 4 and think everything is okay. The anxiety never goes 😂

@peanutpending @Imisscoffee2021

That's lovely news so glad your both doing OK, bet its seems so real now after the scans. I'm doing OK thank you on course to start my second round of ivf soon. So fingers crossed its OK this time xx

Oh wow! Best of luck @Pippamorgan - crossing everything for you! Stay positive! Any questions, let us know!!

Yes it definitely does but I've had no symptoms at all apart from some tiredness so for a long time I thought something was wrong! Quite lucky I suppose as I know some people have a rough time. ❤️

@peanutpending

Oh wow that's good then, so pleased it's been going well

Thank you I'm more nervous now to do it again than I was last time but I have my fingers crossed xx

Aw I bet @Pippamorgan ❤️ it will all be worth it, just look after yourself and do things you enjoy!

@peanutpending @Imisscoffee2021
Hiya ladies, hope your both well and everything is OK.

Thought I would update you after my 3rd embro transfer it went really well and am now 14+4 weeks today.
Finally got there xx

@Pippamorgan oh my gosh congratulations!!! Amazing news!! How are you feeling?

I'm sat here with our nearly 7 week old asleep on me. The best feeling in the world xxx
