@Decaffe hope you're ok today - I saw the message pop up last night but didn't get a chance to respond! Have you had an update on your fertilisation etc today?

Hi @ralno2 I definitely had more follicles at the end of the stims than the beginning so it could just be some are tiny and will be seen at your next scan. My understanding is that the baseline isn't really focused on follicles it's more to check there is nothing to stop the round like large cysts, pregnancy, lining being too thick, too large follicles, etc. They only really got into measuring everything accurately with me from the day 5/6 scan so just keep going with the meds and you'll have a better idea at the next scan x

Hello! Yes I’m ok thanks. Bit tender but to be expected. Everything inside looks ok this morning so they weren’t sure what it is. But all is good.

And the most amazing thing - 10 out of the 12 fertilised! 😮

That's great news @Decaffe! Great numbers!!

@Decaffe that's an amazing result! So pleased for you! Hope you recover soon. Have you taken today off from work?

@ralno2 I echo what @seekingbabyk said, there can be more follicles hiding that they're not seeing yet. Good luck for the next scan X

I've come down with a terrible cold over the weekend. Hope I'm well enough to go to the scan tomorrow. So so nervous!

@Tinkerbell098 - wow it's tomorrow! I know probably not for you big that has come round so quickly for me! Wishing you all the luck in the world and hope we get a lovely little bean photo tomorrow!

@Decaffe amazing result! Really pleased for you! Keeping everything crossed they all grow into beautiful little blasts! Will you get a day 3 call or just day 5? I'm glad you are feeling better. Our bodies are amazing machines and maybe it's just healed itself?

@seekingbabyk haha it’s definitely dragged on for me! Hope so too. Still no symptoms so extremely worried!

@Decaffe fantastic fertilisation rate! :)

#@Tinkerbell098 wow scan tomorrow! I'm so excited for you! I didn't have strong symptoms at that stage, I think I convinced myself I had some then when actual ones kicked in I realised just how I didn't have them before 😅

Good luck for tomorrow @Tinkerbell098 - I can understand the nervousness and keeping my fingers crossed it's all okay for you tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts!

Mine is next Weds 1st. Just trying to not stress till then. But it's difficult 😅

Thanks for the wishes all! I will let you know how tomorrow goes. Hope everything's fine.

@MinBins I know the past few weeks have been so bad! The waiting has almost killed me. Sometimes I feel I want to fast forward to 12+ weeks so I would know more and hopefully would worry less (so she says!).

@Tinkerbell098 I can confirm the worry doesn't go away at 12 weeks 🤣 I've lost morning sickness and thought I had a bump coming that's also gone so I'm now worrying about that. Then if I do have a little nausea when I haven't eaten in a while I worry the placenta isn't efficient 😅 trying to wean myself off scans too, next one on my birthday on 10th Feb

Ahh a fellow February person @Imisscoffee2021 🙌🏼 what week would you be on the 10th? 💕 ohh hopefully not long till the bump - have you had any cravings yet? Our minds manage to worry about every possibility 😂😭

I was saying that to OH this week too, @Tinkerbell098 if only we could go to a time where we know everything will be okay. Fingers crossed for you!

@MinBins fellow aquarian too? I'll be 17 weeks the next day, I don't think I'll feel sage til there's a bump, movement and past 24 weeks viability stage tbh, taking it a week at a time :)

I'm Pisces 😅 ahh it'll be lovely to see at 17 weeks! I think movements begin at approx 23-24 weeks too! 💕

Ah a late Feb birthday, I always wanted a bbq party as a kid and of course never could in frigid North East February's! :) I was half convinced I felt a vibration on Saturday but know its far too early for movement, despite the fella wiggling about on every scan!

Ha yes winter birthdays never quite as fun as summer ones. Unless we go abroad 😉 @Imisscoffee2021

Good luck for today @Tinkerbell098!

Hello ladies 👋
@Decaffe wow absolutely amazing amount of eggs and fertilisation rate 😍 absolutely over the moon for you! So many great news on here lately 😊
@Spin101 how’re you getting on with the progynova? Or are you on the meds break already? Hope all is well with you 😊
@Tinkerbell098 best of luck with the scan today. Thinking of you 🫶
@Imisscoffee2021 @MinBins yay my birthday is also in February 😃 on the 9th. Great month 🙌

Thanks everyone! The nerves are kicking in. The scan is in a couple of hours. Please please send all good vibes X

@Tinkerbell098 good vibes pouring your way from me!! 💞

Sending sooooo many good vibes your way @Tinkerbell098!

Another Aquarian here - what's that all about?!

Yes I will get a Day 3 call tomorrow @seekingbabyk and then a Day 5 on Friday. Bit nervous!

Thanks ❤️ Just in the waiting room now 🤞

💙💚🧡💜

Hi everyone! Thanks again so much for the positive vibes. Really appreciate it as I was so so nervous! At first, nurse couldn't see much and said the engineer's been to fix the machine and had adjusted all the settings, so she was going to call one of her colleagues. At this point, my anxiety was through the roof, as you can imagine, as it was very reminiscent of the previous time when they simply couldn't see anything on the scan. But within a few seconds, she went "AHA" and managed to get a good view. Baby measured 7+1, just 2 days behind, and we saw a really strong heartbeat, it was magical! She asked us if we'd like to make a little video of the heartbeat on our phone, so we did. Can't stop playing it over and over again 😍. Today's a good day 😀

Oh wow! I’ve been refreshing all afternoon 😂 I can imagine how stressful that was to begin with but WOW how wonderful!!

@Decaffe thank you! I did want to post straightaway but we went on a nice long walk after and my phone had barely any reception. Thanks so much for thinking of me. Sending you all my positive vibes for your day 3 phone call tomorrow X

@Tinkerbell098 aah so glad you updated I've been checking back too!! That's such wonderful news! Heartbeat is such an amazing thing to see isn't it, makes it so real that there's this tiny life growing there! So happy for you and your DP!
