IVF March 2023

[Katie12444]

Wanted to start a group for those who are due to start treatment in March.

@Stopthatnoisemummy how do I find that thread?x

@Sd183 good luck hun but keep faith sometimes it starts off slow and then does a massive jump! Keep us posted so we can support you!

So transfer day all complete ladies so now the waiting begins! The good thing is we used 2 excellent day 5 AA embryos so hopefully hopefully at least one sticks!!

Congrats on being PUPO @Vallef

@BrownXeyes I'm on my phone so not sure if this will work...

@Stopthatnoisemummy thank you!! Been sleeping on and off on my tummy all night. All the paranoia kicks in now if I've damaged them!

So the levels gone up but only to 105 and they wanted 130+. So we’re still in no-man’s land. Back for another blood test on Monday. They said there is a small chance that it could just be slow, but they said it’s pretty unlikely and were basically trying to prepare us for the bad news that it won’t progress.

@Vallef they are so well protected inside your uterus, sleeping on your front will not have caused any issues at all.

@Sd183 sorry to hear you're still stuck in limbo and it's potentially bad news. I can only imagine how difficult the weekend will be, take care of yourself as much as possible.

That sounds really difficult @Sd183 . Thinking of you and hope you manage to have a distracting weekend. Have everything crossed for a good outcome for you x

Hi everyone, I’m 10dp5dt today (Monday is OTD) and tested BFP yesterday and today but I have just done my Crinone gel Pessary this evening and when I took it out there were 2 specks of fresh looking blood on it 😩 freaking out! Has anyone else experienced this? Could it just be something to do with the Pessary? Xx

@MS2692 I think pessaries can cause abit of bleeding so I woulndt worry about it too much. As a precaution maybe speak to your clinic tomorrow not sure if you can change maybe to an Injection at this point? X

@Sd183 am keeping all my fingers crossed for you hun I know this must be such a difficult time. Try and remember however that stress is really bad for your body and the baby. I know it might sound silly but try the zeta West Post transfer meditation it really helps Ground you to concentrate on your breathing and to relax you. It really helps me xx

@Vallef thank you! I checked this morning and there was no blood and there wasn’t any more blood when I took out the Pessary I used this morning so I’m just going to keep an eye on it over the weekend and speak to the clinic when they call with blood results on Monday xx

@MS2692 great news hun just take it easy for Monday now! Am on day after transfer and had my progesterone bloods which came back really gd. Just wish someone could knock my out till the 29th so didn't have to wait for the in-between testing lol

@Vallef congratulations on being PUPO 🤗🥳 how did it go, you feeling ok? Yeah I have to say I didn’t truly understand how horrendous the TWW but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone 😔 have all my fingers crossed for you and hope this wait flys by 🤞🏻 keep us posted xx

@MS2692 thank you!! It went really well my body has desensitised now at cycle 4 lol just so paranoid now but at rhe same time I feel calm. Its such a weird time. This morning I woke up feeling so crampy to the point I was dreaming my period was coming. I just don't seem to remember what's normal and what's not other than our chat here I have literally avoided googling every ache and pain because it will just drive me up the wall! Funny thing I asked yhe doctor in Greece and she was like take some buscopan plus for the pain. I said I can handle pain so she then goes take it for ur nerves then lol😂

@Vallef 😂😂 yes definitely for the nerves! Yeah I know what you mean I haven’t been taking much notice of random aches/pains because exactly like you say I can’t tell what was normal or not beforehand 😂 hope you have a restful weekend and that next week flies by 🤞🏻😬

@Vallef i had a bit of bleeding too, last time- apparently the medication can make the cervix so sensitive and can sometimes cause bleeding when using pessaries. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

We got 10 mature eggs but only three fertilised. Next update on Sunday. I’m really really hoping that the three we have grow and make it to blastocyst. The waiting is so hard!

So I just did a clear blue digital and it’s still showing 1-2 weeks. The threshold for 2-3 weeks is hcg at 150, meaning I’ve not even close to doubled from my 105. Cramps have gone, bleeding is slowing, boobs don’t hurt anymore. I think this is all over 😔

@Sd183 I’m sorry you’re in limbo! I would try not to read too much into the CB digital ones, I’ve seen a lot of posts on loads of forums saying they aren’t the most accurate which is annoying! I hope your blood test tomorrow gives you good news 🤞🏻xx

@amoobaa thank you! I haven’t had any more bleeding so hoping it was just a one off cervix irritation from the pessaries 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Sd183 so sorry you’re having to go through all this uncertainty, especially at this stage in the process. When is your blood test? I hope you have answers soon. Sending hugs x

@MS2692 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

We got an update today. Of the 3 mature eggs that fertilised, all three are growing well. They have a good number of cells.

At this stage the expectation is half will grow to blastocyst stage. So we are really hoping for at least one blastocyst to test and hopefully transfer.

We realise this is the best news we could have got today (that all 3 fertilised eggs are growing well and look amazing). But our sorry is tricky and this next stage is apparently reliant on the sperm… we’re bracing ourselves for difficult news.

Next update in on Tuesday, day 5.

I can’t help but hope all 3 miraculously grow into perfect viable embryos.

Sending hope and hugs to all x
