Hi there, I start my medication for a fresh IVF round in September. Im not the best at navigating mumsnet and wondering if there are any groups set up for people starting around the same time? X

Its unusually quiet on here hope everyone is doing ok.

@ka3rine sorry to hear about your negative test. Hope you are ok.

Im currently on my 4th day of FET meds. Well after a textbook fresh cycle this one isn’t as fun.

Day 1 - awful diarrhoea
Day 2 - fine but paranoid about shitting myself after Day 1 episode
Day 3 - pain in the front of neck - obviously Dr Google says it’s my thyroid so panicking it’s all over
Day 4 - still pain in neck - waiting for GP appt AND OMG the gas! Can’t stop farting. It’s like a German oompah band - working from home today luckily

Oh and I swear my skin has doubled in thickness as I really have to push hard to get those buggers of a needle in.

Only on day 4 and really not having any fun this time and can’t concentrate to work because obviously Dr Google thyroid panic means everything is ruined 😂😂

@StormsPassIVF you have a way with words! Sorry it's been a tough start to the FET journey.
Had my egg collection today and got 7 eggs out of a possible 7 follicles 🥹. I was absolutely terrified going in and am now in a state of disbelief.
@JadeAC good luck for Friday!
@ka3rine sorry to hear it didn't work out. Sending hugs and solidarity

StormsPassIVF · 24/10/2023 15:34

@TheFanciestPants oh my goodness what wonderful news you must be so chuffed to have 7 from 7 😊

Hope you are enjoying an afternoon of enforced rest and relaxation and enjoyed the sedation meds!

Wishing you all the luck for the embryologist updates over the next few days.

Ahh thank you 😊

@JadeAC huge good luck for Friday 🤍

LavenderJoy · 24/10/2023 16:27

@ka3rine so sorry to hear the sad news, sending lots of hugs!

@JadeAC good luck for Friday, mine is next Monday and I'm nervous already! My symptoms keep coming and going so keep thinking it's a bad sign!

@TheFanciestPants 7 is a lucky number!! That's amazing news!

@StormsPassIVF sorry to hear the meds are egucing you side effects, I know what u mean about your skin becoming thick, this must be a thing as my lubion injections are so difficult now, it's as it my skin has got really tough.

JadeAC · 24/10/2023 17:49

@StormsPassIVF Thats quite a description 😂😂😂 To be honest though I got massive gas after transfer, it was not pleasant 😂

Natasha90 · 24/10/2023 19:03

@StormsPassIVF I hope your symptoms ease off soon 💩.

I have another scan tomorrow, then hopefully will book transfer in next week. Start the pessaries and lubion.

Not holding out much hope as embryo is only graded a 3bc.

JadeAC · 24/10/2023 19:17

@Natasha90 when you read people’s stories people have had failures with good quality and success with less so. They wouldn’t use them if they weren’t good enough.

Natasha90 · 24/10/2023 19:25

@JadeAC literally holding on to it only takes 1.

I'm driving myself mad with google and looking for success stories.

Christmas just makes this journey so much harder 😞

What date did you test from?

Natasha90 · 24/10/2023 19:28

Apart from you ladies. There's only 2 people who know about this round. My husband and my best friend.

This is what I got today..... she's not in a long term relationship and his unsure about it......

IVF September
JadeAC · 24/10/2023 19:40

@Natasha90 I tested from 10dp3dt

I just tell myself that everyone has their own struggles. I have a lovely husband and family a good job, a nice home and a lovely (when he feels like it) cat. Those people who fall pregnant so easily probably envy you for something else.

StormsPassIVF · 24/10/2023 19:51

@Natasha90 my goodness your friend’s head must be all over the place.

thats great transfer should be next week and yes as Jade says so many lovely stories of the lower grade being the goodun so as Bon Jovi would say ‘keep the faith’

@JadeAC * *beautifully said (oh and the cat 😂)

@LavenderJoy fingers crossed for Monday 😊

StormsPassIVF · 24/10/2023 20:25

@LavenderJoy yes that’s odd about thick skin isn’t it! It is with the ovaleap. Can’t wait to be on Lubion, I’ve been sent teeny weeny needles this time so hoping I won’t need to ice it 😊 if we get that far

ka3rine · 24/10/2023 20:57

how soon can you jump into the next round of IVF after a fail transfer? does anyone here has previous experience. looking for some insight :)

StormsPassIVF · 25/10/2023 05:54

@ka3rine I had the period from my failed fresh transfer. I started my frozen transfer meds on my next period.

It of course depends when you clinic can fit you in for the Dr planning appt and getting meds delivered etc…

ka3rine · 25/10/2023 06:44

@StormsPassIVF we have an appointment with my doctor on Tuesday as she is on holiday this week. I stop my progesterone already and waiting to bleed.

Did you mean you started immediately taking medication for the next cycle after your period?

Has anyone as well did the Mock transfer testing? ERA test?

StormsPassIVF · 25/10/2023 06:49

@ka3rine thats great your appointment is so soon.

So I didn’t start on the period that came immediately after my failed transfer.

Its the next one.

So I had my transfer 13sept, that failed. Had the period on 25th September.

Now started meds on the next period which started 20th October.

If your cycle is regular it comes around quick.

hope that makes sense

ka3rine · 25/10/2023 06:54

@StormsPassIVF thank you. Good luck on your cycle!

fsr111 · 25/10/2023 09:26

Hey guys! Hope everyone is well this morning.

So sorry for your BFN @ka3rine, I know how disappointing it feels. It's good to be proactive, but allow yourself to be upset for a while too.

Your list of symptoms name me chuckle @StormsPassIVF! Hope it starts to ease up for you before too long. I have my meds arriving on Friday, but only oestrogen tablets and progesterone pessaries.

@Natasha90, hope your friend is ok but also that her message wasn't too painful for you to see. I find people's pregnancy announcements hard to hear. How has she taken the news?

@JadeAC and @LavenderJoy, good luck with your scans! So excited for you! X

Natasha90 · 25/10/2023 12:24

@fsr111 to be honest she's like I'm not sure etc. I think we're i am mid cycle my emotions are all over the place.

Just in the clinic now waiting for my appointment for my scan / appointment now.

Natasha90 · 25/10/2023 12:55

Lining looks fab, transfer Tuesday 🩷

JadeAC · 25/10/2023 15:00

@Natasha90 oh that’s great news! Not long to wait.

Natasha90 · 25/10/2023 15:03

@JadeAC this is the closest I've ever been. My forth round and I'm 6 days away from actual transfer. 😱 xx

JadeAC · 25/10/2023 15:07

@Natasha90 how exciting!

LavenderJoy · 25/10/2023 16:05

Amazing news @Natasha90 this maybe your lucky round! Keeping everthing crossed for you 🙏

StormsPassIVF · 25/10/2023 18:26

@Natasha90 that’s wonderful news! You’ve been through the mill with 4 rounds. I really hope you have some good news on this cycle 🤍

@fsr111 that’s great all getting real and so close now, great news you have your meds and all ready to go

@LavenderJoy good luck for your scan 😊
