Thank you so much everyone ❤️ feeling so nervous again. I was meant to be in the office today but didn't go in (faked an excuse). Scan's at 4 pm today so need to somehow stay busy until then. Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday X

@Imisscoffee2021 @Cat89 did you have a scan around 9 weeks? Do you remember if it was internal or abdominal? A bit nervous about them prodding me if my insides are already sore and irritated by pessaries.

Good luck @Tinkerbell098 - thinking of you today xx

@Tinkerbell098 hope you can distract yourself til the scan! I had lots of scans and at 9 weeks ish I think it was abdominal, I only had transvaginal on the very early scan and the one at the ivf clinic. They may try abdominal first and go to transvaginal if they can't see much so have a good full bladder to make abdominal more clear. I bled after a transvaginal scan though and all was still fine with me, so don't worry too much if they have to do one. No harm in asking them to be very gentle as you're irritated from pessaries though, sven if you arent just to make sure. I found I bled after a private scan and not after ivf clinic scan as the nurse was gentler.

@seekingbabyk thank you 😊

@Imisscoffee2021thanks! I'll do that!

Just checking in to say I’m thinking of you today @Tinkerbell098 and sending every best wish! X

@Decaffe thanks so much. Just in the waiting room now

Thinking of you @Tinkerbell098 hope everything is well x

Hi girls just waiting for the nurse to come and debrief but the sonographer was happy and the baby was dancing about it was quite sweet. I'll have to wait for the nurse to clarify what the spotting was but all looks good with baby. I'm over the moon ❤️

That's wonderful @Tinkerbell098 ! Truly noone talks enough about spotting in pregnancy, seems so frequent! You did the right thing getting it checked :) isn't it amazing how wiggly they are when they're still so tiny!

Ah yay! That's wonderful news @Tinkerbell098 - really happy for you!

@Tinkerbell098 that’s great news!! 🥰🥰🥰

Fantastic news @Tinkerbell098 - really happy for you!x

@Tinkerbell098 im so glad it went well today, lush news xx

yay @Tinkerbell098 soooo happy the little one is doing fantastic. Great news 😍

Thanks everyone ❤️ I had to go alone as OH couldn't make it because of work, so was so nervous. But the sonographer took only seconds to find the baby and it was such a relief to hear her say "all ok with the baby." I can relax for a bit now.

@Imisscoffee2021 yes it really is so amazing. I didn't expect baby to be moving this much at this stage.

Ahhh so glad to hear all ok @Tinkerbell098 !! Bet you were so relieved and can continue to enjoy pregnancy now ☺️.
Both my scans after Wk6 were abdominal. I admit I'd had sooo many early scans in last 15mnths I almost forgot you can have abdominal option, it felt like a treat LOL 😆

Morning all, just had my last stims scan and the leading follicle’s are 20mm on each side so yay can trigger tonight 9pm for egg collection first thing Friday! They said it’s looking like 13 follicles should be right size for EC so fingers crossed. Looking forward to a day tomorrow without any injections. X

@Cat89 haha I know! It's nice to "graduate" to abdominal scans.

@1stcycle oh yey! The extra stims were worth it in the end. Happy trigger day and enjoy the jab free day tomorrow X

@1stcycle brilliant number of follicles!Happy trigger day 🥳

Hi everyone,

sorry for the radio silence - I decided to go ahead with the fresh transfer. I had it done this morning. 2 Blasts were 4AA and 4BA.

they transferred 4AA today.

I have a few cramps but other than that all good. TMI - but I’m totally constipated by the cyclogest and I don’t want to go to the toilet and strain for fear something might happen the embryo!! 🤪 Too paranoid to take a laxative!!

They have 2 other embryos that they are giving one more day to see if they turn in to blasts and will call me in the morning.

1 transferred and 1 frozen. Happy enough with that and anything extra would be a bonus!

Fab news! Hurray to egg collection going ahead on Friday! @1stcycle

@ralno2 congrats on being PUPO! And that's a great embryo! I know the feeling I had that too - and was so cautious not to er.. exert myself 😂😂 but it's supposed to be okay. Good luck will keep fingers crossed for you!

In other news I've been travelling for work and tomorrow is the last travel day. Im on train back atm I need my bed and warmth. 😂 I'm also trying to maintain healthy diet but the past two days of travel have meant I grab what I can (still nothing bad but not the same as I was during stims) so feeling a bit bad about that.

@ralno2 wow congratulations on being PUPO - keeping everything crossed for you!

@1stcycle - that's a great number of follicles! Almost there now! Are you doing a freeze all or hoping to transfer? Sorry if you've already said I lose track if everyone on this thread 🙈

@MinBins aww time to chill out now and you can get back on it tomorrow. I know the feeling about grabbing what you can and we can't always be perfect so I'm sure a couple of days won't hurt x

Thanks all, just can’t wait for Friday to come now!

@ralno2 good news you managed to have a fresh transfer and also one frostie already! Fingers crossed for the other two and hope the 2WW doesn’t drag for you!

@MinBins hope you get your warm bed soon! Sometimes it’s hard to always eat healthy and I’m sure it won’t make a difference xx

@seekingbabyk im doing a fresh transfer hopefully. My lining was 13 today and said looked good for transfer so should be fine 😊🤞🏻
