@AnnieStar12 I'm feeling a bit apprehensive and worried I won't get any embryos as my drop off seems quite high but I'm trying not to let my head get there. The uncertainty of it all just makes it so hard though.

Gotta remain positive I suppose.

@EvaA17 my OTD is 31/6 at 9am. Not feeling very hopeful unfortunately but you just never know!!!

I know it's hard, but like with everything in IVF we have to keep hope and remain positive!

EggsFrozenNow · 25/05/2024 10:56

@hopefullsosbry got it thanks! I'm currently day 5 of stimmin, going for next scan on Tuesday (cos of bank holiday I guess). Good luck with your scan today!!

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 10:58

Thanks @EvaA17 best wishes with your scan Tuesday ☺️

AnnieStar12 · 25/05/2024 11:21

My otd is June 1st. Just a self reported home test, my clinic don’t do bloods.

hopefullsosbry · 25/05/2024 12:06

I got my scan and trigger tonight at 10:15pm so EC Monday at 10:15am .. had 2x 20mm 2x17mm, 1x14mm 1x12mm 2 under 10mm on left and 4 small (under 10mm) on right side but I’ve is 9.7 mm so nearly 10mm on right .. so done really good I think, quite a few have come on even though slowly ?!

Hollielouise · 25/05/2024 14:44

@EvaA17 Amazing news! Well done! How are you feeling today? I started the Cabergoline last night and feel almost back to normal today!

I might start a FET group for July/August as there's a few of us that have shifted over to freeze all cycles now if anyone fancies joining. No idea when my transfer would be yet though!

HopefulllHolly · 25/05/2024 15:00

Congrats @EvaA17 hope you’re ok today.

@hopefullsosbry Eeek those are good sizes and numbers! Happy trigger day and have a good day tomorrow with no drugs! ☺️

Do you guys think this is potentially the trigger? I took 2 tests yesterday and it was BFN. I don’t want to get my hopes up.

@PurpleRayne89 It could be as you had a double trigger and that shouldn’t be out your system yet, but it could be a positive? Really hard to know unless you keep testing and see if it goes darker. Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🤞

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 16:25

@HopefulllHolly ill keep testing as I have an entire batch of cheap Amazon tests. Let’s see how it goes. I have my OTD next week Friday. How tense 😬

HopefulllHolly · 25/05/2024 16:30

@PurpleRayne89 Exciting!! I hope that it’s the start of a positive for you! Skip tomorrow testing and try the day after and you’ll have a clear answer then rather than driving yourself crazy comparing lines 😊 Eeek fingers crossed!

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 16:33

@HopefulllHolly Thanks. I did that last time, tested every other day.

AnnieStar12 · 25/05/2024 16:37

@PurpleRayne89 is the line darker than yesterdays test? Can you put them next to each other and take a pic to compare?

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 16:52

@AnnieStar12 Yeah, the one I took yesterday didn’t show up on camera. This was is dark enough to take a photo of it. I’ll test again 6dp and skip tomorrow, then perhaps I’ll have a better picture.

hopefullsosbry · 25/05/2024 17:25

Best of luck @PurpleRayne89 for testing ! Fingers crossed the line gets darker , if I get to that stage I am defo testing out the trigger to be sure.

hopefullsosbry · 25/05/2024 17:27

@HopefulllHolly thank you.. I am looking forward to no more injections .. roll on Monday evening when I am home and EC is over 🤞🏽

hopefullsosbry · 25/05/2024 17:32

Anyone else got EC on Monday ?

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 17:32

@hopefullsosbry Best of luck. I know the injections were a graft, I had my partner do them as I was a melt.

hopefullsosbry · 25/05/2024 17:33

@PurpleRayne89 ha .. for sure .. defo won’t miss them 🤨

Ah, sorry you’re feeling apprehensive. Yeah every stage of ivf is just different forms of horrendous waiting! I’m sure with 9 fertilised on day 1 you’ll get some embryos by day 5. Have you asked for a day 3 update?

AnnieStar12 · 25/05/2024 21:05

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 16:52

@AnnieStar12 Yeah, the one I took yesterday didn’t show up on camera. This was is dark enough to take a photo of it. I’ll test again 6dp and skip tomorrow, then perhaps I’ll have a better picture.

Okay, that’s promising if it’s getting darker!! So much hoping we both the good news in the next few days.

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 21:07

@AnnieStar12 You and I both. I’ve decided to wait until my beta and to stop driving myself mad.

AnnieStar12 · 25/05/2024 21:08

@hopefullsosbry good luck with the trigger tonight, that’s so good your clinic will still do it on a bank holiday. Hope you have a relaxing day tomorrow so you’re feeling zen for Monday morning. Your numbers sound great, hopefully lots of eggs waiting to be retrieved.

PurpleRayne89 · 25/05/2024 21:44

@RunningOnHope Very exciting 😬
