IVF/ICSI June/July

[CakePigeon30]

Hi, couldn't see a thread for June yet so thought I would start one.

I'm on long protocol so actually starting down regulation on 28th May, egg collection not scheduled in until 8th July.

I am on NHS and this will be my first round. Was referred less than a year ago now and have managed to loose 2 and a half stone to get my BMI down.

Anyone else due to start around June?

Dildo cam session this morning, still only one follicle. It is growing and the lining is thickening up. Next scan Monday.

@GwenH82 😂😂😂

@CakePigeon30 @FlutteryButtery2 @SlinkMcSlink thanks all! The clinic said full flow. Weirdly it still hasn’t come. I got excited and thought it might be implantation bleeding but I’m testing negative. Hoping it comes over the weekend for a Monday start!

Anyone else on the TWW? I'm day 6 and no real symptoms bar moody as all hell and exhausted!
There's was a lil brown discharge now and then but only when wipe and not much at all. I wanna test ASAP but I know I can't. Killing me haha.
Trying to keep busy. 2 embryos went in and I'm 35 so fingers crossed. I am going to shania twain Tuesday night and not even excited as all I can think is am I pregnant.

@GwenH82 good that the lining is thickening. Is Monday your last day of stims or will they ask you to do a few more after?

@ClaireBear101 hopefully the spotting is implantation bleeding 🤞

@CakePigeon30 that's what I was hoping. There's been nothing for 2 days now was only around day 2 and 3 and I'm bloated like mad and tired.
With IUI I knew before my 2 weeks as got full period but this time I know you don't till you finish meds right?

Day 7 now so another week to go and my wife and I are so impatient haha.
I'd love a sign something was going right. I have lower back pain this morning too but dunno if that's anything.

I may test early but I just don't know. I'm almost afraid to test at the same time. I was so heartbroken last two tries.

Night 3 of meriofert injections. Feel ick. Not sure if it’s a combination of being tired from work/hayfever, worrying about making up an excuse tonight as to why I’m driving to have a meal out with another friend couple. Plus it’s warmed up in Liverpool and feeling hot and bothered!

Slightly anxious as to whether I’m doing these injections correctly too! On 225 icu. I’ll stop moaning now! 🫣🫣🫣

My BFPs haven't stuck 💔 I've been cramping really badly since yesterday afternoon and I've started bleeding tonight.
I wish I hadn't tested early as I'd have been totally oblivious; still on the norethisterone and would have proceeded with a July cycle as planned.
Instead I was stupidly believing in fairytales 😢

🧡❤️🧡❤️ @Onthedouble123

@Onthedouble123 sorry to hear this ❤️ When did you stop the norethisterone? How quickly will you be able to restart?

@Onthedouble123 dont be hard on yourself as we are all waiting on some kind of fairytale one way or another. You’re not foolish you’re just a mother who wants a child and that’s okay. Sorry your news was bad. Did you contact the clinic to let them know you had a BFP or did you take the decision yourself? I’d give them a bell in the morning and have a chat.

Hi, I stopped it a few days ago. I've messaged the clinic this morning to ask next steps. Hopefully they can reply Monday morning with a plan. I would have been due to keep taking it til end of the month so I've totally messed up July as I've started bleeding a week and a bit early now but hopefully in August? 🤞🏻
Feeling very down today 😞

@GCS34 I spoke with the Dr after sending the BFPs through the app. She told me to stop the norethisterone and gave me a prescription for progesterone but I had to order it and with it being the weekend I haven't even received it yet nevermind have chance to start taking it. 😩
Oh how I wish I could do the last week or so over from the beginning! 😢 Xx

@Onthedouble123 oh how frustrating. Don’t blame yourself though as anyone who sees a BFP would have the same response. Do you take noristerone before your period usually or after? If you were to start it again when would it be? Can you not start it now? Sorry I don’t know the ins and outs with it so I am a bit naieve to it.

we all go back and regret stuff. When I had my mmc, I regretted so much that I did. I think that’s human nature to blame ourselves. Remember nothing is absolute. And it’s not over for ever, chapter closed. It’s just a short delay and you’ll be back ready to go in a matter of weeks. Easier said than done I know. X

@Onthedouble123 I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Second what @GCS34 its normal to regret so much about this journey. But you did the best you could with the info you had at the time. I hope you can proceed with your next cycle soon.

I just started day 1 and am due to start injections tomorrow, but I’ve just come down with a bad cold/flu with fever and cough 😭 this is the second time a flu has derailed my plans. Has anyone been through this and know whether my cycle will need to be delayed?

I saw the doc today and all good- I can proceed! :) starting stims tonight.

Hey guys.

Firstly @SamVan thats great news!!! Fingers and toes crossed for this round!

I wanna stay positive but I did cave and foolishly test today. Its day 8 if I don't count day of transfer otherwise day 9...
It was negative.

Since then I've had cramps and brown discharge and a headache so I'm hopeful I was too early and implantation is only happening.

I will not test again now till Friday or Saturday as I will stay hopeful for then.

Anyone had similar?

@samvan welcome to the stims club! I start doing two lots of injections from tomorrow. Oucccchhh! What have you been prescribed?

Hi.
hope you guys don’t mind me
joining in a bit late.
I had my blastocyst transfer today, and I can already feel that these next 2 weeks are gonna be long. How has everyone found it?
I can’t believe how emotional it was to watch the ultrasound screen with that little white dot in it. Rollercoaster for sure.

@ClaireBear101 thank you! Crossing all my fingers and toes for you too :) hope it becomes positive soon!

@SlinkMcSlink im on Gonal f - 150 I have my first scan on Friday. I start feymadel on day 6. What are you on atm? How long into stims did you have your first scan? I’m a hoping its not too long a gap before the first scan to allow them to adjust my prescription if needed.

@SamVan so I’m on day 5 of meriofert in the evenings. Then from tomorrow I’ll also be on cetriotide in the mornings too. Have my next scan on Friday which will be on day 9. I’ve got this feeling that if I have my egg collection next week, I will have a frozen transfer and not a fresh one. I’m only surmising here btw because of having a scarred cervix. I hope it’s a fresh transfer but got to think of the long game.

@SlinkMcSlink good luck for your next scan! How have you found it so far? I hope you have a fresh transfer too. Although I believe most clinics now let you do the frozen transfer the next cycle so it won’t be a long wait either way. I’m at risk of ohss so I might be doing a frozen transfer too depending on my response to the drugs.

Welcome @HighflyingUnicorn how are you feeling after transfer?

@SamVan pleased they gave you the green light to crack on. That’s great! Have you done your first injection yet? And will Fridays scan be a day 5 I assume?

@SlinkMcSlink how are you finding meriofert? Have you had a scan already or is first check in day 9? I think I’ll be ok a freeze all again this cycle too as I couldn’t do a fresh due to the amount of eggs. However I defied the odds and actually didn’t get ohss despite my numbers so I think plan is for a fresh this time but I’m not holding hope like you guys said maybe we’ll all be doing our FETs together.

I start stims Thursday eve providing the scan is all good for me to go. Can’t wait 😂 mostly because it means I get the nice drugs in egg collection 😂

@ClaireBear101 so sorry to hear you had a BFN today on 8dpt. It might still be too early - I think from around day 10/11 the result is 99% likely the result you’re getting, so 8dpt might be too early yet to fully determine. Brown discharge is a sign of implantation tho so that’s a good sign right? Maybe that you’re implanting now which is totally feasible.
