Hello! 👋
I wonder if I could join this thread? Been reading through and would appreciate having some people to talk to during this very lonely process. We finally had our very first ET this morning - a 4BB. Waiting to hear tomorrow if they will freeze another 2 which are looking good. We had 17 eggs retrieved, 14 matured and 5 fertilised. My partner has low numbers and movement with sperm so they used ICSI due to this.
Feeling a whole mixed bag of emotions currently but mainly very grateful to finally be here after 4 years TTC and 2 years of IVF tests/waiting etc.
Sending everyone else love and luck wherever you are in your journey! 🙏🏻💕💜

Hi.. I just had my transfer this morning also, we sound simular as I got 5 fertilised (only got 8 though not as many as you) and we had a 4BB and waiting to hear about the rest tomorrow if any suitable for freezing! How are you feeling after your transfer ?

hopefullsosbry · 01/06/2024 16:34

@AnnieStar12@PurpleRayne89@HopefulllHolly thanks for the well wishes , official test date the 15th June but I have been testing every day since my trigger haha .. I
am continuing to test out my trigger and will just test every day so I’ll know if the line goes away and doesn’t come back after 3ish days .. I’ll know if it’s worked or not.. it’s just as av been hear before and never tested our trigger before so said I would do it next time .. so here i am 🙄🙈.. av attached a pic incase anyone is interested in my trigger depletion 😂I started with the rubbish ‘one step’ blue ones but then changed to the pink ones 😁

Oh yes we are! Yay!! Good to have someone in the same position - hopefully a positive time ahead for us both! I think I am feeling okay. I have had stomach cramps and constipation (sorry, TMI 😜) since my ER on Monday but that has eased off a bit now. I was at risk of OHSS due to slightly over stimulating but they are hoping I will be okay although I am keeping an eye out for any symptoms 🤞🏻🙏🏻
How are you feeling? It all just feels a bit surreal after a long time waiting to get here and not quite sure what to do with myself now! 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

positivepetal · 01/06/2024 16:58

@AnnieStar12 so happy for you! Congratulations!

@HopefulllHolly I haven't tested yet but will be shortly. I have started to bleed so not looking so hopeful. I had brown bleed/discharge yesterday which I thought was implantation but today it's very red (sorry for the TMI)

My period isn't due until the 4th but I guess it's showing up early...

HopefulllHolly · 01/06/2024 17:01

@positivepetal Could be just bleeding rather than a period, you never know. When do you think you’ll test? Fingers crossed for you. ☺️

@HopefulllHolly testing shortly waiting for my husband to come home. He wants to do it together, I'll also retest tomorrow morning too

HopefulllHolly · 01/06/2024 17:19

@positivepetal Awww good luck! My fingers are firmly crossed for you both x

@hopefullsosbry i wish I properly tested out my trigger, I have no idea if the line that appeared at 2/3/4 dpt was trigger or positive as I never tested before that so had a few days really on edge. This is my progression picture incase useful to compare. And now I am no longer gonna test as I’ve reached test day with a strong positive so I intentionally have no more tests in the house! I’m gonna “step away” from pregnancy tests, lol!

@positivepetal 🤞🤞🤞

@AnnieStar12 interesting !! looks like maybe your 4dpt that is slightly lighter could be your trigger fading as it gets a bit darker again from 5dpt? Your last line is so dark though ! 🥰eekkk !!! Yeh quite right just lay of them .. if you really wana check the clear blue weeks indicators would show that it’s still progressing I guess as will changed from 1-2 weeks to 2-3 weeks ?

@DogMummy87 yes it will be good we are both at the same stage 🥰 hopefully we both have super strong lines .. is your official test date 15th also ? Will you test early ? I am glad your tummy cramps are easing for you and hopefully you don’t get any OHSS symptoms.. just take it easy 🥰

positivepetal · 01/06/2024 18:33

We just tested and it was negative. Will test again tomorrow morning to be sure 😢 was really hoping it was implantation bleed.

Rang clinic out of hours and they want me to continue meds and test again on Monday (my official test date)

HopefulllHolly · 01/06/2024 18:40

@positivepetal Awww I’m really sorry, I was really hoping for you. Hope you are having lots of cuddles with your other half and let yourself feel the feels. Will keep my fingers crossed for Monday just in case xx sending big hugs

@positivepetal so sorry this round hasn’t worked for you, hope you’re doing okay and take some time to look after yourself. x

AnnieStar12 · 01/06/2024 18:45

@hopefullsosbry I did actually do the CB weeks indicator one this morning too and it already showed 2-3 weeks! I’m intrigued to see your like progression as you test out the trigger so keep us posted.

PurpleRayne89 · 01/06/2024 18:48

@hopefullsosbry Good idea, at least then you can be sure. Fingers and toes crossed for you x x x

positivepetal · 01/06/2024 18:50

Thanks ladies @AnnieStar12 @HopefulllHolly

My mind is already at what does this mean and what went wrong?😑

DogMummy87 · 01/06/2024 18:53

@hohopefullsosbry my official test date is the 12th January. I am going to try not to test early as I know I will end up being obsessive about it which won't do me any good. Yeah, I feel lucky the symptoms don't seem to have progressed at the moment and hoping it stays that way! 🙏🏻 Thank you 🥰

Oh my, thank you for posting! We sound similar!

I had 16 retrieved on Friday & was gutted to find out I just have 4 fertilised this morning although 11 were mature. I’m so worried I’ll have nothing to freeze and it’s all been a waste of time 😞

You’ve given me hope 😊

I really hope you get some to freeze and, from what I have read/heard, those are good numbers as there is usually quite a drop off when it gets to fertilisation. So think positively if you can! 🙏🏻💕 It is about quality not quantity! I am so glad I have given you hope as I have spent the last few days feeling exactly like you but it seems to have all worked out well for now! Will keep everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻💜

EggsFrozenNow · 01/06/2024 19:42

@HopefulllHolly thank you my dear , yes we will do another cycle later this year after my husbands procedure to fix varicocele. Now we've done 2 cycles and ended up with 0 embryo and 1 egg, I think maybe just try once more and we are done for a while

RunningOnHope · 01/06/2024 19:48

Ah really sorry to hear it @positivepetal. It's so so rough. Hope you're able to take care of yourself tonight.

My DP surprised me with wanting to test tonight, at 7dp5dt, and we got this. Been here twice before with chemical & miscarriage so feeling cautious but so thankful for this right now.
