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

@West8690 i am so so very sorry. Massively thinking of you. It’s just so unfair - you haven’t done anything wrong. I have a friend almost exactly in the same position as you and it’s just incredibly tough.
I know I can’t say anything to make you feel better but I hope you can take the next few days slow. Xx

JadeAC · 18/11/2023 15:13

@West8690 My heart goes out to you. That is awful. I can’t imagine how painful that was after the 7weeks scan. You haven’t done anything wrong. Please don’t think that.

@West8690 I'm so sorry to hear the news, that's very heartbreaking to hear, stay strong!! There is nothing you can do, I understand the pain and grief you must be feeling. Sending lots of hugs.

@West8690, I'm so sorry to read this. I can only imagine how heartbroken you must be feeling. There's nothing I can say to make you feel any better, I hope you are allowing yourself time to feel sad and process everything. Sending so much love.

@West8690 what an emotional rollercoaster you must have had this last year, I am so sorry West.

If you need to talk we’re are here 🤍

I hope you take some time to relax over Christmas and look after yourself.

TheFanciestPants · 19/11/2023 18:47

@West8690 I am so sorry to hear your news. This journey is unbelievably cruel and full of heartbreak. And it's so tough emotionally as anyone who hasn't experienced infertility and pregnancy loss really doesn't understand.
You absolutely did not do anything wrong, I know it's so hard not to blame yourself but whatever the cause is, it 100% isn't your fault.
We are all here for you if you want to talk x

How are you getting on @fsr111?

fsr111 · 21/11/2023 06:39

Hey @JadeAC, I'm doing ok. Feeling slightly less anxious this TWW although it's all definitely still on my mind a lot. OTD is on Monday, so keep thinking it'll soon come around. Thanks for checking in. How are you? How many weeks are you now?

JadeAC · 21/11/2023 08:42

@fsr111 ill be 11weeks tomorrow. Had a scan at the weekend and all was well but didn’t seem right time to post that then with the other updates we had. My only symptom is tiredness really but I work shifts so nothing new there haha I’m pleased TWW is less intense this time. Keeping everything crossed for you

TheFanciestPants · 21/11/2023 09:46

@JadeAC what amazing news! So happy it's going well👏
@fsr111 massive good luck for the tww🤞

West8690 · 21/11/2023 10:39

@Arundel8 @TheFanciestPants @JadeAC @fsr111 @LavenderJoy @StormsPassIVF thank you for your kind words. I'm just so incredibly broken and don't understand why this keeps happening. It's incredibly painful and cruel, I'd rather just get a BFN than go through this torture

JadeAC · 21/11/2023 11:19

@West8690 I totally get that. It must be beyond painful. Was it just a routine scan? If so that must have been a terrible shock.

West8690 · 21/11/2023 11:23

@JadeAC yes it was routine. I just don't even know what to do with myself. I didn't think anything could be worse than our 13 week loss but this is unfathomable. I don't know if I can do it again. We've got one embryo left and I feel like I can't not use it, but I don't see a good result. I feel like we're just pouring money down the drain and losing any time we have with our 2yo. The last year just feels like a complete loss. I've spent 30 weeks in the last 12 months pregnant with absolutely nothing to show for it.

JadeAC · 21/11/2023 12:59

@West8690 i Think it’s natural to feel that way so soon. You don’t need to make any decisions now. Why don’t you enjoy Christmas with your 2yr old and see how you feel in the new year.

Chickencrazy3356 · 21/11/2023 17:26

Hi ladies

i hope everybody is doing ok, I didn’t manage to get onto here before now but we had our test last week and it was positive! , I’m not getting carried away as I know it’s such early days and I’ve had bleeding and I’ve currently got a kidney infection (they think caused from my cyclogest)

ive had really bad sickness too but again they think this is from all the hormones I’m finding the injections quite painful now ! I’m desperately wanting to get excited but also know that this is not a guarantee we have a scan first week of December once I know it’s viable and not an ectopic I hope It will start to feel a bit more real.

hoping everyone is doing ok

JadeAC · 21/11/2023 21:17

@Chickencrazy3356 awww congratulations!!! I remember all the uncertainty and not wanting to get excited. You’ll feel loads better when you get that scan done!

fsr111 · 22/11/2023 07:10

@Chickencrazy3356 - that's great news! I'm feeling very positive for you, will be keeping everything crossed. Gives me so much hope hearing of your BFPs. What was your journey to IVF?

11 weeks already @JadeAC, hope you're finally able to relax and enjoy pregnancy now! Will you be due in June?

JadeAC · 22/11/2023 08:49

@fsr111 yes we’ve told people now and it all feels real. I feel so much better. June 11th they are saying so far. Eeek excited.

fsr111 · 25/11/2023 06:39

I caved and tested yesterday morning as I've been feeling quite nauseous and it was a BFP! Have just tested again this morning (to make sure) and it says the same. Can't believe it! OTD is Monday and I only have one test left, so will save it to do then. Trying to keep a sensible head on - but also excited to finally see a BFP after almost three years of BFNs.

StormsPassIVF · 25/11/2023 07:20

@fsr111 oh wow! 🤩 So happy to hear your BFP! Congratulations!!

JadeAC · 25/11/2023 09:58

Oh @fsr111 that is fantastic news!!! So pleased for you!

fsr111 · 25/11/2023 17:07

Thanks @JadeAC @StormsPassIVF, just keeping everything crossed that it sticks!

JadeAC · 28/11/2023 11:13

How are you doing @fsr111 ?

fsr111 · 28/11/2023 14:56

All fine thanks @JadeAC, made it to OTD and have a scan booked for 18th December. Just got to keep everything crossed until then. How are you doing?

JadeAC · 28/11/2023 15:51

Oh I’m pleased, that’ll fly by.
I had a little bit of bleeding yesterday and still a slight discolouration today but no cramping so hopefully ok. Called hospital but they said it wouldn’t be something they advise me to come in for and to wait till Friday when my scan is already booked for. I’m obviously abit anxious but hopeful it’s all ok. 🤞
