@loulamay quick update from me. Unexplained infertility and very low AMH. Currently doing our 6th round of IVF. 2nd round in 2017 resulted in our DD. We used donor eggs for the last 3 rounds but unfortunately miscarried last year at 8wks. I’m now almost 7wks pregnant after ET on 24th June. First scan on 20th July went really well. Holding out for my 8wk scan on 3rd August 🙏🏻

21C · 25/07/2023 23:03

@loulamay fab idea! my situation:

TTC 2 years, MFI straight to ICSI - 1st round 15 eggs collected only 2 fertilised and only 1 made it to day3, fresh transfer but failed. Now onto 2nd round - 20 eggs collected only 2 fertilised both made it to day5 blast, one transferred and one frozen. Test date 29th 🤞🏼

IVFfirsttimer91 · 25/07/2023 23:19

@loulamay love this!! I’ve filled in the blanks from what you have already written

Diagnosis Male infertility, round 2 IVF with first resulting in blighted ovum, transfer date 3/7/23 currently 6 weeks pregnant and waiting for early scan on the 7th :)

ASGIRC · 25/07/2023 23:28

@loulamay this is such a great idea!!!!

@ASGIRC Single mom by choice, not using own eggs due to age and carrier for genetic illness. FET on 19/07/23 of a donor embryo. First faint positive at 4dpt, stronger on 6dpt. OTD on 28/07/23

ASGIRC · 25/07/2023 23:31

@AnaS86 Im sorry you are feeling anxious. This waiting business can definitely be hard!
Will you be testing early or waiting until OTD?

Lauralozzle · 26/07/2023 07:07

@loulamay TTC 4 years. Officially unexplained diagnosis but I only have one ovary that works and DH likely has DNA fragmentation issue. Lowish AMH for my age. First cycle Jan 23 which failed. No Frosties. Second cycle July 23, 8 eggs collected, all mature and 4 fertilised. Transfer tbc (likely 29th July).

There you go, with a bit of a background.

On another note. I forgot how much I hate the pessaries!

Olivia199 · 26/07/2023 07:30

@AnaS86 - Sorry you're feeling like that. It really is the mother of all rollercoasters!

@Fluxie - Blimey! You've really been through it!! Got everything crossed for you.

My line is darker this morning! No longer a squinter!

Morning all, thanks @Olivia199 for setting up a new group. Great to see you line is getting darker.
I spoke to the clinic yesterday and they said its very normal for lubion to be painful and difficult to administer. I have now got my husband to help set up the meds so I can't get stressed about it. Maybe the fainting is a sign from the universe he needs to be involved haha.

@loulamay love your organisation, for me PCOS, In my first FET cycle, transfer date 28/07/2023, current status: seriously hating progesterone. @Lauralozzle looks like we will be in the 2WW together ☺️ x

10degreessunny · 26/07/2023 07:47

@Fluxie wow you are a trooper, so sorry to hear it has been such a difficult journey to get to this point but amazing that you're now past ET xx

1yearTTC · 26/07/2023 07:59

Hi ladies please can I join?

2 years TTC, currently on first round of IVF, have had 5 embryos frozen, so now waiting to have my transfer (was at risk of OHSS). Having a natural cycle to see how that goes so currently on CD9 waiting for a smiley to show ovulation before my transfer Smile

Labradoodlepup · 26/07/2023 08:08

@loulamay fab idea! As a project manager I am so here for the organisation.

I was early in the July group but had a wobble with work commitments and thought I was going to end up in August, but have been taking comfort from everyone’s stories and the BFPs of the group.

2 years TTC, MFI. Egg collection was in May, 24 eggs collected, 23 fertilised and 8 frozen. Ended up with OHSS so transfer was delayed and I’ve been climbing the walls waiting. Transfer today ✨

Everyone has been through so much, we’ve got this!

10degreessunny · 26/07/2023 08:13

Oh good luck with transfer today @Labradoodlepup! X

Walker12 · 26/07/2023 08:21

Love the level of organisation @loulamay
Here is me: unexplained infertility, 1 early miscarriage. Currently in TWW of 1st IVF round (NHS), 9 eggs collected, 8 fertilised and 5 made it to blasts. 1 fresh transfer on 23.07 and the rest are in the freezer. OTD 5th Aug but I won't be able to hold out that long!

@Labradoodlepup good luck with your transfer today! @Olivia199 great news about a stronger line :) I am getting twitchy about testing now!

Walker12 · 26/07/2023 08:25

@AnaS86 I had been wondering how you got on- so glad the transfer went well, and 6 frozen is amazing!

Thank you @Walker12 ! Sounds like you did really well yourself :) how are you feeling?

@ASGIRC I can't decide whether to test early... if I do it wont be before this weekend. OTD is next Wednesday...

In other news, with my transfer having been last Saturday I'm wondering when I can start exercising again... been walking but it just doesn't hit the spot. Such conflicting advice about what you can or shouldn't do!

Lauralozzle · 26/07/2023 10:34

@10degreessunny Yes, definitely does look like we’ll be in the 2WW together.

@Labradoodlepup Good luck with your transfer today!

@AnaS86 What sort of exercise did you do before? I know what you mean about conflicting advice you get.

It’s my last day off today. Back at work tomorrow, which I’m not particularly looking forward to. On the other hand, it might take my mind off things a bit.

I should find out my transfer time tomorrow on the portal. They won’t ring with an update though.

ASGIRC · 26/07/2023 10:38

Welcome @1yearTTC !! And good luck with the transfer @Labradoodlepup !!

@AnaS86 yeah, id say theres really not much point before 6 days. Im at 7 today and its the first day when its not a squinter, so Id advise on waiting until 7dpt for a clear result, if you dont want to stress about it!

ASGIRC · 26/07/2023 10:40

Definitely stronger lines today, and the clear blue was a straight pregnant result!!

Ive been hysterically laughing around the house!

And the cheapie ones, today is the first day you can see the line without flash on as well!!!

@ASGIRC that is a definite positive🩷🩷 congratulations!!!

loulamay · 26/07/2023 11:05

whoo hoo @ASGIRC - I do love a bit of line progression!

Speaking of being organised (or not), despite me leaving full instructions with my husband about things like nursery drop off times, dog walker etc he messaged me this morning to say he 'couldn't find the dog'. Dog walker turns up 30 minutes later with him obviously. I drily replied 'I'm glad you read my instructions so thoroughly'.

Jesus 😂I'm off to find some beetroot juice.

ASGIRC · 26/07/2023 11:08

@loulamay sometimes I do wonder how these people survive!!! LOL

Hope the beetroot juice helps with the thickening of the lining!!!!

ASGIRC · 26/07/2023 11:09

@Bristol1988 thanks!!! Im getting very excited now!
