@ASGIRC thank you 😘 I won’t be doing a trigger as this is a frozen transfer. Even after all these rounds I still panic about the slightest thing 😆

@LittleAm I did a trigger on my frozen transfer! See, protocols change SOOOO much from clinic to clinic and doctor to doctor, that there is no point in stressing about a missed medication, particularly as it pertains just to transfer.

If it was an exact science, we would all be doing the exact same medication, which strict schedules!

I had my day 6 update. We have a frozen day 6 expanding blast.

This round has been so much better than last round! First round, 8 eggs, 6 mature, 2 fertilised and one poor blast. Second round 8 eggs, all mature, 4 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and two frozen. 75% of the fertilised eggs were either used or frozen. I’m a bit speechless 😶

That's great news @Lauralozzle, really happy for you.
I've just woken from a lovely long nap, today has been a complete write off for me!

@Lauralozzle thats fantastic news!

@Walker12 i was just woken from a lovely nap with screaming and taps to my face 😂😂 i could quite happily still be asleep.

The culprit (who just wanted attention and to then fall asleep on my pillow):

@IVFfirsttimer91 Ah you should feel privileged you were graced with his(?) presence 😂

@Walker12 his indeed!!! He is a very clingy little thing, and definitely likes to be centre of attention. The dog and our other cat are much more independent, but this one makes himself known at all times 😂 it’s why he has been banished to sleeping downstairs at night.

@Lauralozzle - That's amaaaazing. Huge congratulations.

@IVFfirsttimer91 - I love him. Immediately. Mine also like to snooze on my pillow and were thrilled by our two hour nap earlier!

@AnaS86 - how are you doing lovely?

Hey and welcome! I'm sorry about your march transfer. 😔 I transfered on the 20th and have also had brown and pink spotting here and there. It's going away between times so I think it's the pesseries. I had the same with my DD. Good luck for test day!

@Olivia199 he is very loveable and so so so cute! He’s nearly a year old now and I can’t believe how much space he takes up in bed compared to when we first brought him home. He’a definitely my little snuggle man and I’m glad you love him too!

hi all! my beta came in at 107 11dpt. I have read so many different things on levels. One said 191 is the cut off others say over 100 on day 10 is a strong positive. I’m a little worried as I tested positive so early I was sure I would be higher. My doctor has not called yet to talk about the result so it’s all driving me a bit crazy today!

@Ivfround1 as long as the number doubles every 48 then you should be ok :) hcg numbers are so confusing and the variation in them is so huge! Try not to fret xx

@Ivfround1 That would only be concerning if its not doubling! So I think having another at 13dpt would be a great idea, as then you can see whats what!

Totally - doubling is the key rather than the number! But I'm also pretty sure anything over 100 at this stage is great. Step by step and day by day! xxx

@Olivia199 Hopefully our spotting is a good sign 🤞and we will have a positive result on our test this week!

Good evening,

new to the chat, on Friday I had my very first frozen transfer, didn’t get to do a fresh as ended up with overstimulation. How does everyone cope with the tww?

ive watched that tv series Alex jones making babies, therefore I know it can take a few times before it works

@Hi83 welcome!! We spent the evenings of the 2ww watching our way through the first 3 seasons of American horror story 😂! When is your OTD?

Transfer was on the 28th and they told me to test two weeks to the day, so the 11th.

im a bit more anxious as my half sister is also going through it and she’s has 2 which has failed and had to pay for the 3rd treatment.
i know everyone is different! But I can help but think it

@Hi83 welcome! I was ok on my first week, the second week seems like one day has got 48 hours! I had a fresh transfer that didn't go well, I just done my first frozen transfer 🤞 I hope everything goes well for you.

I’m doing okay at the moment, but I thought it would be next week that would be the struggle, I had acupuncture after my transfer maybe I’ll go back next week to help me relax 😅
aww sorry your first round didn’t go well, fingers crossed for you

@Hi83 welcome!!
I just worked. I had barely any time off, so it kinda flew by, but my OTD was also on day 9pt, so pretty early.

Im more worried about how thr 3ww until the first scan is gonna go!!!

Also, clearly people not going through this situation (even if its just people TTC for a while) do not recognise pregnancy tests that do not have the plastic casing, or even a BIG DAMN ClearBlue logo on them!
Ive sent my line progression photo to 3 people already. None of them understood what it meant!

One friend, who texted me today saying she had had a dream with me where I had a baby and was gonna name him Carlos, didnt even realise what I was showing her and I think maybe thought it was an ovulation test? Cause she then went on on a tangent.

I decided that, if she didnt get it, I would then wait to tell her with a scan picture!
