And potential egg collection 26/02

That's my plan 🙈
And this is our first cycle

Hey @ImHopeful no no drugs at all, not until after transfer and even then it was only cyclogest, and I chose to add in lubion too x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 good luck if you are testing today ❤️

Thank you @Btowngirl sadly a negative for me :( hopefully will be able to go straight into another natural transfer next month too x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 ah no I’m so sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed for a quick turn around, definitely a benefit of doing a natural round! Hope you are doing as ok as you can xx

Thank you, yeah ok- kinda numb to it all now these days as sad as that is x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 sorry you didn't get good news. How many frosties do you have left?

Has anyone done any tests before FET? I'm so scared to waste an embryo if I have something that would prevent implantation regardless.

@Mymiraclebb congratulations! How are you feeling?

Its a no from me. Our final embie… oh dear x

What a day, after all the negatives, I contacted my clinic-who have agreed I can do another transfer as soon as my period starts…. Decided to use the last pregnancy test tonight…. BFP wow!! I am absolutely in shock, I have used all the sensitive FRER and clear blue tests, all negative…. Today on an Amazon cheapy BFP :) I have high natural killer cells so I’m a long way from being safe, but for today I’m happy. Sending love to you all… and it just goes to show testing early isn’t always accurate x

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 wow what the hell! That’s amazing news congratulations 🥳

Thank you, I am in absolute shock, been out and bought loads more tests and amazingly they are all positive… had convinced myself I had a faulty one lol x

Congratulations @ExhaustedPigeon1988 ❤🥳

Such lovely news @ExhaustedPigeon1988 !! Congratulations:)

Thank you all, I’ve had some spotting this morning and lots of period cramps, so very worried as have had so many losses before that I can’t quite get excited yet. No one will see me either as it’s too early, so just got to sit and hope for the very best x

Congratulations @ExhaustedPigeon1988 wishing you all the best.

I am starting my final ivf cycle (3rd one) today. Excited that this is the last one as part of our embryo batching and I can’t wait to get to my first FET hopefully very soon.

How exciting @Faith2024 wishing you the very best, how many have you got stored so far? How have you found it? Hats off to you, the egg collection process is so hard mentally and physically! X

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 we have 8 good day 3 embryos (mostly 8 cell) frozen from two cycles. I know grading means nothing at day 3 because they have to become blastocysts but at least I know they will be strong enough for thaw process. If we can get a couple more from cycle 3 that would up our chances hopefully.

I have been lucky to find the whole stims and EC and recovery very smooth with minimal side effects. I found the Norethistrone 2 weeks before the worst part of the whole process. But glad that part is behind me. Hoping to push for a natural FET if we get there since I have regular cycles and ovulation and this will be my 2nd child so no known implantation issues so far.

@Faith2024 that all sounds amazing, and how exciting :) natural FET are so quick too! X

Morning, just received our testing results, all uneuploid 😞 fully in pieces.. 3 rounds, 10 tested and nothing to transfer..

So sorry to hear that @TT82 💔sending love, be kind to yourself, it's a horrible unfair journey xx

@waitingforourmiracle thank you! Though expected still need to process and decide what do next... as only DE route is an option or to stop

Sorry to hear that @TT82. Sounds really rough.

Has anyone experienced anxiety from gonal-f? I’m on day 11 so 10 injections so far, and I had really bad anxiety this morning.

I don’t usually get anxious so it took me by surprise but I assume it’s the hormones? It’s like my body has had enough now. My egg collection should be Wednesday if the scan tomorrow goes well… I really want all this to be over now. 😞

Oh, and I’ve heard that the trigger shot is the worst of the lot… so I’ve got that to look forward to.

@Crushed23 i hope you are feeling okay. To be honest i was actually okay on the stims and trigger. Usually before i start my period ihave horrible low moods and feel so terrible mentally. Have you had yoir scan today?
