FET / IVF August 2023 - thread 2

[KG1244]

We filled up the first thread fast!!

Did a 3dp5dt test today and its a clear negative. Feel stupid and desperate now. :(

I am sorry @CDiamond but it is still so early so don’t give up hope.

I start testosterone around the 22nd September @GCS34

@kirstysmbc im sorry it wasn’t the news you’d hoped for but keeping everything crossed for some catching up over the next day or 2 🤞🏼

Thanks @MrsMotts @Hopingforno2in2023 @GCS34 All 4 are now being left to day 6 to see if they have progressed enough. I'm not the most hopeful... If all else fails, i will transfer my remaining 4bc from the last cycle, then that's me done.

@kirstysmbc i am hopeful 🥰 I have faith in them. Is day 6 tomorrow or is tomorrow day 5? At least you do have one in the bank. Has that been tested? How many transfers have you had btw?

@GCS34 Today is day 5, so they are all slow developers. I didn't test in my first cycle and they don't recommend testing now. I've had three transfers - single fresh (mmc), double frozen (dd), double frozen (miscarriage).

@kirstysmbc sorry I thought you said you were hoping you’d get at least one to the stage of pgt? Sorry a bit lost oh so your daughters from the double. Did you have twins? X

@GCS34 I was hoping to get one to PGT from this cycle. So just have to see if there's anything tomorrow. I wasn't advised to test on my first cycle, so the one left is untested. No twins, only one of the doubles implanted each time.

@kirstysmbc oh god I’m so confused! 😂🙈 you said you didn’t test in your first cycle and they don’t recommend testing now? That’s what I’m lost about as you said you are gonna pgt them 😂🙈 I’m probably being dumb - blame the heat 😅 sorry for the twin question. I’m glad you’ve had success though previously. That gives hope for this for sure.

@GCS34 Prob me not explaining properly! The one left I referred to is from my previous cycle 2 years ago. They don't recommend testing that as it would need to be thawed, tested and refrozen. And as it's not the best quality, that isn't recommended. They do recommend testing any embryos from this cycle, but as of today, there aren't any in a position to test. That's what I'll find out tomorrow.

@kirstysmbc gotcha! Sorry for making you explain 🙈 fingers crossed they’re making development in the lab as we speak! Good luck for tomorrow and I honestly think one will carry on. As I say, I had 1 on day 5, and the day after on day 6, we had another 4! She said they probably just fertilised later than the others

I’m keeping everything crossed for you this morning @kirstysmbc

Went into an eco shop yesterday to get some household stuff and it had loads of gorgeous baby outfits, toys etc. I so so hope that it won’t be long until I can buy some of that stuff.

@Hopingforno2in2023 I try to stop myself look hahah like it's something naughty on the top shelf 😂🤣

Looking !

Ha yes it does feel so forbidden doesn’t it @Lowo21. I want everyone in this thread to be able to look happily and excitedly before long though!

@GCS34 good luck today on your increased dose ! Still catching up on all the posts ... Tuesday is on for 1220 ... exactly !

@KG1244 wow ! Great numbers 🥰 totally get what you mean about IVF taking the joy away. Try and enjoy each day as it comes. So pleased for you !!

@CDiamond don't worry you have tested way early give it time 😙

@kirstysmbc thinking of you this morning ... everything crossed for some good embryos xx

@Hopingforno2in2023 right there with ya! We have had a couple of positives but feel we need some more ! IVF sucks and it seems to always be the nicest of people who have to carry the burden !

Hi ladies hope you are enjoying the lovely weather:)

Fingers crossed for a positive update today @kirstysmbc , sorry it was disappointing news on day 5 but they might pick up pace! 🤞🤞🤞

Hey @KG1244 wonderful hCG results! How are you feeling? Sorry you've had a mmc! :( I woke up today feeling 'empty' so now I can't get this thought out of my mind that I might have an mmc and I won't even know until 6w6d scan, just can't believe myself:( sorry for the negativity and hope you're feeling well!!

Hi @GCS34 yes, maternity unit won't see me for a scan before 12 weeks, I have a viability scan booked with my IVF clinic at 6w6d on the 26th Sep, meanwhile awaiting hCG result from Friday. Hope you are well:)

Hi @TTCMama17 fingers crossed for tomorrow, will be thinking of you!! It sounds like your headache and other symptoms have been at the right time for implantation and then subsided which is also ok!!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone:)

@KG1244 think you got the wrong person. Not me on a MMC

I know!! @KG1244 so sorry! I'm not able to edit for some reason!!
How are you doing??

@KG1244 WOOOHOOOO!!!! You tagged yourself too. See I’m not the only mental one 😂😂😂

@GCS34 I wonder if it's infectious 😅

Just had an update call and all the embryos degenerated overnight, so that's it for this cycle. I'll transfer the final embryo from my last cycle just so I've tried everything, but def not worth / financial possible to do another cycle. Will just be very grateful that my first cycle gave me my daughter,

ah I’m sorry @kirstysmbc. I am keeping everything crossed that your embryo sticks and all goes well ❤️

Very sorry to hear that @kirstysmbc ! It's lovely you do have a daughter though also the last embryo is still a chance. Take care 🪷
