Embryo onboard! While we were there the embryologist told us one of the other 2 had made it to freezable stage, and they're still waiting on the third. Will get a phone call tomorrow.

Had the prerequisite Maccy fries on the way home 

@LF82 How are you doing? Xx

@countrypunk thats great news, welcome to the PUPO club

good luck with the other embryo xx

@countrypunk oh this is the best news! I’m so pleased two embryos hve made it to the freezer and hopefully one more tomorrow. Also massive congratulations on being PUPO!!! Xxxxx

Sorry reread you message 1 embryo in the freezer and hopefully 1 more tomorrow!! Xxxx

@Foreverhoping33 @Crystal88

Thank you! I know there are no guarantees with IVF but for today at least, I am so so happy.

Sending loads of love to you for tomorrow @Foreverhoping33 ❤️

And hope @Jx3303 has arrived at her holiday destination and has a cocktail in hand! 🍸

@countrypunk congratulations on being PUPO! So pleased for you & great news on the other embryos in the freezer! I am ok - meds arrive on Friday. Just waiting on AF to arrive now. lots of relaxing for you now! X

@LF82 Thank you! I hope period is prompt! Lots of relaxing for you too xx

What lovely updates to read from @Crystal88 and @countrypunk !! Congrats on both being PUPO and in for a good shot this cycle 🤞.
Amazing @countrypunk that you've got at least one in the freezer too. What a good day it has been for you! 😃

@Foreverhoping33 wishing you all the best of luck for tomorrow, I know it's a big big day for you ❤️❤️. There is a lot of positive energy circulating in this group right now, really hoping for a 3rd good outcome tomorrow 🤞. I'll be thinking of you xx

All others - glad recovery is going ok and much needed time out in place to recoup. Looking forward for the next set of cycles starting soon! Xx

@Cat89 thank you

hope you are progressing well, how are you feeling xx

@Foreverhoping33 lots of luck with your scan today.
@Cat89 how are you getting on? How far along are you? 🥰

Thank you @Cat89 🤗

I would also love to hear how you're getting on! You're due in August I think? So close to meeting your baby! Has your pregnancy gone quickly? ❤️

Hi all, thanks for your lovely messages.

Scan went well!! We saw the embryo and heartbeat we are currently measuring at 8weeks +1 (so 1 day ahead!!) and even got a print out picture!

Feeling so relieved, reassured and even excited now! Clinic have said this is where they discharge us but I may book another private scan in at 10 weeks or so depending on how I’m feeling.

Thanks again for all your support really don’t think I could do this without this group! Xxxx

@Foreverhoping33 thats wonderful news! Delighted for you! Xx

@Foreverhoping33 Amazing, that is so wonderful to read! Absolutely over the moon for you. I bet it was very emotional. So many congratulations 🥰🥰🥰 xxx

@Foreverhoping33 thats great news I’m so pleased for you xx

@Foreverhoping33
Absolutely brilliant news!!! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm sooo happy for you and feel relieved myself haha. I had a very strong positive feeling about you, not sure why but felt this would be your cycle 😊. I also went for a private Wk10 scan just to keep the reassurances up every few weeks (but I had no symptoms which kept me in worry mode!), so that's always an option it'll be helpful. I didn't realize you were 8 weeks along tho and this wasn't a Week 6 scan, so that's even better again in terms of odds of success here onwards 😊😊.

What a great week of outcomes it's been for this group! Good things can still happen despite previous setbacks, keep going girls 💪.

@Crystal88 How are you doing? The progesterone side effects are already driving me mad and everything is making me cry 😵‍💫

@countrypunk @Crystal88 how are you both doing with your TWW?

My AF finally arrived and have a day 2 scan later to see if I can go ahead this cycle or not 🤞 Trying to be calm & not stress x

@countrypunk still questioning all my symptoms I feel different to last time
very bloated and sore heavy breast

I dread it each time I go to toilet to see if there is blood on tissue, nothing has yet

time seem to be going slow xx

@LF82 good luck for today xx

@LF82 I can't believe it's only day 3 😩 I went to an exercise class this morning which was a good distraction. But I'm determined to wait till OTD to test (unless my period arrives).

That's great about period! I bet it's felt like a long old wait. Let us know how thescan goes. Xx

@Crystal88 TWW symptoms are sent to mess with our minds! Just 5 more days and you'll be out of your misery... hopefully in the best way possible! Xx

@countrypunk distractions are good!
@Crystal88 it must be so hard not to over think everything…

Update- they were happy with everything on the scan so injections start tonight & next scan on Wednesday 🤞 so relieved as was really worried I might not be able to start. Just now need to take it one day/step at a time x

Hello lovelies how are you all getting on? @Crystal88 and @countrypunk i hope you are both managing to distract yourselves a bit from the tww and enjoy your days. When are both your otds?

@LF82 so pleased to hear you can go ahead with the cycle! Hoping the injections aren’t too bad and will keep my fingers crossed for your scan on Wednesday.

@Jx3303 hope you have had a lovely holiday and are feeling super relaxed! Xxxx

@Foreverhoping33 Hello hello! Bit crampy today. OTD is a week today. I have no tests in the house and I'm really gonna try to hold out until then. It's going soooooo slowly.

How are you doing? Xx

@LF82 Yes, that's great news! I'll be thinking of you this week. Xx

@Foreverhoping33 test date is Thursday, I have two test in house but haven’t used them yet even though I really want to

up until weekend I didn’t know what the outcome would be but after this weekend really cramping last two days so think
period is coming, every time I go to toilet I dread to look at tissue

I thought being weekend it would be quick but it’s going so slow I just want to know now and I can move on and plan for next stage xx

@countrypunk @Crystal88 ah yes I agree the tww can drag like nothing else! But you are both doing so so well!! I would really recommend not testing before otd if you can as I think early tests can just add to the anxiety, but get that it’s so difficult.

@Crystal88 i was cramping hard this transfer and was certain I was out (so so certain, compared to in December where I just knew it would be positive) and it was still surprisingly positive when I tested so try to keep positive!!

I’m doing well saw DH family this weekend and thought they may have guessed something from my no drinking but they seemed to have accepted that I needed to drive as an excuse so I don’t think they are too suspicious…. Think we would like to wait till 12weeks before telling them, just in case.
