IVF April 2023

[BiscuitLover3678]

anyone else due to start in April?

@Vallef I have green and yellow . They aren't easy x

@IVFlife good tip! I change mine every other day so they don't get a chance to fall off!

I do find baby oil and cotton wool get the mess offthat they leave x

@CR7 that brand in photo is pretty good for staying on. I had ones that would only stay on for an hour and kept peeling.

@Vallef thinking if you today xx

@Vallef Good luck today!

@BiscuitLover3678 How are you feeling? I’m pretty bruised and sore…

@cr7 and @Frisbeee thank you so much ladies. I just had a call and I can't stop crying. My levels are at 425!!! They said with levels this high they don't test a 2nd time they go straight to a scan for the 10th May but as I had some tiny blood clots and given my last round ended in miscarriage il have another test on Tuesday as well. They said it could be a multiple pregnancy as sometimes there is blood clots during deep implantation. I was so stressed out and worried I can't believe it.

@Vallef speaking for everyone we are absolutely delighted 😘😘😘😘

@Vallef that’s absolutely amazing news, congratulations!!!

@Vallef so how does it work (having never had a positive test!) two weeks after official test date you go for a proper scan? x

Congratulations, amazing news, hope all goes well with the test on Tuesday and with your scan ❤

@Vallef oh wow congrats!

@BiscuitLover3678 have you had an update on how many eggs have fertilised?

Out of my 10 eggs, 7 were mature and 6 have fertilised. The 7th one did fertilise but it’s showing abnormalities so they’re not counting that one but will keep an eye on it just in case

Amazing!!! Congratulations! Xxx

@Frisbeee great numbers! 😘😘

That so good they can tell you that detail! I have 10 fertilised which I know is really lucky.
Just need to see what happens with them now. How are you feeling today? Are you doing the progesterone rectally?

@BiscuitLover3678 amazing news for you too xx

@Vallef imagine if it was twins! Did they put in two embryos?

@Vallef Congratulations, that’s great news ☺️ xx

I had my transfer today, the anxiety this morning hoping they wouldn’t call to cancel as no eggs made it was hell 😅. But it’s done now and I feel like I can relax for a little bit.

The remaining 2 weren’t at blastocyst but they think they could be there by tomorrow so if that’s the case they will freeze them which would be great.

I hope everyone else is well and looking after themselves xxx

Well done @Fizzle1987 ! Nice to have someone else on the TWW xx

@Frisbeee thank you so much :)

@CR7 thank youuuu :) so what they said is realistically I don't need another blood test because my levels were quite gd and in those cases they jump straight to the scan on the 10th May. Realistically I checked online and with my transfer date am showing as 4 weeks which is bloody crazy! So the 10th May I should we nearly 6? Not sure how they work these dates it's abit weird. At this moment I just feel like tracking my doctor down and kissing his feet. Am in Greece and they do things slightly different but my first 2 cycles in the UK were horrible experiences and cycle 3 and 4 where here in Greece with this doctor. I can't stop recommending him he knows what his doing. I think I the UK they don't ask you to test until day 14 though right? What did they say to you after your transfer? Have you gone back to get your progesterone levels checked ad well in case they need to increase anything? Xx

10 is amazing, you must be so happy!! Feeling sore and bloated today so just had a relaxing day. How about you?

Yes I’m doing the progesterone pessaries rectally for now. I alternated on the last cycle but I’ve been so sore today I thought rectally was best! I mean, neither is a pleasant option 😂 what are you doing?

@Frisbeee did you get applicators. They make life so easy x

@CHARL82 thank you for your kind wishes. Please be positive as well all it takes is 1 lil bean. My friend who also is 40 and has low AMH read about some vitamins that help. Her 2nd cycle she only managed 2 eggs but her 3rd cycle 6 months after I think they go 9 so quite an improvement. Il ask her what their called when I speak to her and let you know in case your interested xx

@Fizzle1987 well done today! Hope the tww goes quickly for you!!
