IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

@Fizzle1987 I would have done exactly the same in your shoes. Everyone is different but I hope that gives you some relief xx

@StaceyWS88 I had warm baths with a sparkling clean bath and no products. Not the same but I wanted the relaxation as I'm sure you did also x

@StaceyWS88 amazing news! Bank holiday transfer even more special 🥰

@CR7 am going for my OTD on Saturday so il ask them hun thank you. Since I last posted I've had a few cramps again on day 7 and had abif of dark brown on the tissue. I just want Saturday to come so I know either way now!!
How are you feeling? Your day 2 post trf now right?

@Frisbeee good luck for egg collection

@BiscuitLover3678 Thank you so much! You too!! How are you feeling?

@BiscuitLover3678 and @Frisbeee good luck tomorrow on your egg collection this is the exciting bit :) hope all goes well tomorrow and look after your selves after! Let us know how you both get on xx

@Vallef thank you!

how are you getting on? The waiting is so hard!

@BiscuitLover3678 @Frisbeee good luck ladies, wishing you all the luck in the world!! 🍍

@Frisbeee the weirdest thing happened. So my hubby's gran passed away literally on my day 1 post transfer. Anyway as I said in posts I was really bad way for day 4nd 5 as felt no symptoms and cramps had stopped. On day 6 Wednesday just gone I dreamt who I think was his gran touching my hand and telling me whatever happens everything will be OK. I woke up feeling relief? Which is so weird. I also woke up to cramps!! Yesterday evening I had some slight brown when I wiped sorry TMI and read on Google sometimes late implantation can happen between day 5 and 7. This morning had cramps again but they stopped again within couple of hours. Am testing on Sat and I just want to know now what's going on and hope for the best so badly

Oh gosh I’m so sorry about her passing. What an odd experience! I’m really hoping for you.

Feeling nervous now @Frisbeee as not sure what to expect really.

@BiscuitLover3678 is this your first egg collection hun? Don't worry all will be fine :) just wear comfy baggy clothes and remember not to start drinking water until an hour before your collection so you don't get desperate. A tip is to rest alot after and make sure you eat some salty stuff like bacon etc it helps drain the ovaries from the medications and helps with overstimulation.

@Frisbeee thank you I know it sounds weird saying it. Anyway just triying not to over think it just in case it's not gd news so it doesn't come as a whammy

@Vallef so sorry to hear about you husbands Gran passing.

Fingers crossed it’s implantation pain you’re having! Do you think you’ll be able to last till Saturday to test?

@BiscuitLover3678 ah it’s so normal to feel nervous but you’ll be absolutely fine! You won’t be aware of anything at all during the procedure then when you wake up it’s all over. I was just super sleepy after my last one & had the best nap ever when I got home! Good luck x

@Vallef all ok here. It's week 2 I'll find tricky. Also doing my injections and pessary in a toilet whilst out for dinner with people trying to get into the bathroom was not easy but I did it. Again haha

Saturday isn't too far away xx

@CR7 yeah that does put my mind at ease a little, it’s all a risk either way, so just keeping everyone tightly crossed now. Xx

@BiscuitLover3678 I hope today goes smoothly, you’ll be fine and won’t feel or remember a thing xx

I've had my 2nd scan today and I have 1 follicle. The 3 others didn't grow. I am going ahead with extraction but not hopeful 😢

@BiscuitLover3678 How did you get on?

I got 10 eggs! It’s double the number from last time so I’m super happy about that! My husband is away so they had to freeze his sample, it’s not defrosted 100% we’ll so we will have to do ICSI.

@CHARL82 its quality not quantity so try not to be too disappointed. Do you have a date for your egg collection?

Well done @Frisbeee !! Feet up now please x

@CHARL82 sending you lots of love xx keep us posted if you need anything

Thank you, fingers crossed for you all.

I have egg collection on Monday. Just waiting on the nurse to call with a time now.

They signed me off work for 2 weeks, is that standard?

Disheartened, but still one so better than nothing.

@Frisbeee and @CR7 thank you! So tomorrow is the day. I hate testing at home I think am traumatised from years peeing on a damn stick that never showed anything good so am having a blood test tomorrow. I've since had abit more glupy brown bits but not big quantities. Am hoping with everything I have it is implantation and not anything else :( in Greece they test at day 9 it looks like as embryo is 5 days as well.

@CHARL82 you need at least a couple of days after egg collection. I chose to have a couple of weeks after my transfer so I could be stress free from work as that's the most important part to be calm and relaxed.
