Anybody else starting or in middle of treatment?

Bit about my experience so far..
My last treatment was in december and had to come to a stop after finding a polyp during the scan. Have since removed the polylp and given the green light to go again. currently on estrodiol and due for a lining thickness scan next week. If all goes to plan I think the frozen transfer will be during 1st wk of april (Fingers X’ed!)

Sending you all positive and sticky vibes!

Thanks you lovely lot! Seems to be good news, we could see a heartbeat and it was measuring 6+3 which is the date I am so hopefully all good. Only weird thing was she said as I left oh I won’t tell you the speed of the heartbeat as I don’t really believe in that but I’ve seen nothing to concern me so hopefully you’re all set. Which threw me off a bit! Hopefully I’m just over thinking.

when are the next scans booked in for you ladies? X

Evi83 · 20/05/2025 20:45

@Lostmyusernametoday oooh that all sounds super positive. Well done! I wouldn’t worry about the heartbeat comment. They’re pretty hard to measure at that size anyway. I’d focus on the bit where she said ‘nothing that concerns me’. So are you discharged from clinic now or will they scan again?

Evi83 · 20/05/2025 20:46

ps I’m 6+4 today (v close to you!) and my second scan is next Thursday x

Lostmyusernametoday · 20/05/2025 22:28

@Evi83 discharged now! Need to call my GP tomorrow and get booked in….feels very strange! Not counting any chickens just yet, but one more hurdle down ❤️.

we are!! Hoping for great news for you next week too xx

Evi83 · 20/05/2025 22:36

@Lostmyusernametoday ooh that’s so exciting to get over another hurdle and to get into mainstream maternity care. Hope you don’t have to wait too long for your first midwife appointment and the 12 week scan 🙏🏻

Brownowl83 · 21/05/2025 07:31

That's amazing news @Lostmyusernametoday ❤️ I bet you are relieved too, another milestone achieved 🤞🏻

My first scan is next Tuesday, when I should be 6+4 based on start of my last period. I've had some bleeding the past 2 days (some brown, some red) and some quite bad pains come and go on one side. Luckily not a huge amount of blood, the clinic said it shouldn't be anything to worry about, just if it gets heavy to call them straight back. You should see my Google search history 😂😂

jenk91 · 21/05/2025 08:17

Amazing news @Lostmyusernametoday! as you say, another hurdle passed 🥰

I’ve got my scan on Friday, when I will be exactly 7 weeks

Foreverhoping33 · 21/05/2025 08:51

@Lostmyusernametoday oh yay I’m so pleased scan went well! Sounds like you got everything could hope for!

my scan is tomorrow when I think I’ll be 6+7 (is that 7 weeks I’m unsure. Think my 7 weeks is on Friday).

@Brownowl83 sorry to hear about the spotting never fun and causes high anxiety! But hopefully everything is ok and you get no more! Xxxx

Evi83 · 21/05/2025 09:15

Good luck to tomorrow @Foreverhoping33 ! Hope it all goes well.
And ditto @jenk91 good luck for Friday 🙏🏻

And sorry about the pains / bleeding @Brownowl83 Hopefully it’s not getting any worse. Do use your clinic as much as you need - if you’re worried do call them. I think bleeding is very normal but SO stressful!! Sending lots of love.

Lostmyusernametoday · 21/05/2025 13:16

@Brownowl83 lots of my friends have had this but it is so stressful - the last thing you want to see. Hoping it’s just a bit of spotting and no need for you to call the clinic back 🙏🙏🙏

good luck to everyone on your scans ❤️

jenk91 · 22/05/2025 11:53

Good luck today @Foreverhoping33 sending all the positive vibes to you and the little embryo 💫
@Brownowl83 how are you getting on? Hope the bleeding as eased off 💜

Lostmyusernametoday · 22/05/2025 12:57

Good luck @Foreverhoping33 hope all goes well today ❤️

Brownowl83 · 22/05/2025 18:28

@Foreverhoping33 hope today went well for you 🤞🏻

I'm still spotting a small amount (brown now) and with intermittent pain on one side similar to ovulation pain. It's not bad as in unbearable, but worse than the other cramps when it strikes. I've not called the clinic, going to see what happens tomorrow and go from there. Kind of avoiding it too as not sure they will do anything, I'm not particularly worried - not as bad as Monday/Tuesday and only small amounts 🤷🏻‍♀️

Foreverhoping33 · 22/05/2025 18:31

Hi all, thanks for your good wishes. Had our scan and baby was there, in the right place with heartbeat and measuring correctly for my days. So couldn’t have gone much better. I’m over the moon and going to now book into maternity services. Eeeek!
@jenk91 hope yours is equally good tomorrow. Any one else’s scan tomorrow too?

@Brownowl83 glad to hear spotting reducing hopefully it completely stops soon. Kinda agree with you that not much they can do and maybe just have to wait for scan. Sending love. Xxxx

Brownowl83 · 22/05/2025 18:58

@Foreverhoping33 amazing news congratulations 👏🏻

Good luck @jenk91 tomorrow ❤️

Evi83 · 22/05/2025 19:11

@Foreverhoping33 oh that’s fab news! Congrats. 🙌🏻 V happy for you. Hopefully by this time next week we’ll all be happily discharged!

@Brownowl83 sorry about the cramps but glad the spotting has calmed down a bit. Hopefully it’s all coming to an end. Sorry for the stress it’s causing - not what you need!! Thinking of you x

@jenk91 goos luck tomorrow!

jenk91 · 22/05/2025 20:55

@Foreverhoping33 amazing news, so pleased for you!

@Brownowl83 glad the spotting has eased, it’s so stressful isn’t it!

thanks guys, so anxious for scan but not long to wait now

Lostmyusernametoday · 23/05/2025 21:41

hope today went well @jenk91 been thinking about you ❤️

jenk91 · 24/05/2025 09:35

Hey @Lostmyusernametoday bad news from my side unfortunately, they said the foetus had stopped growing and there was no heartbeat, so they’ve said it’s a missed miscarriage and now got to wait for my body to hopefully get rid on its own, if not have an appointment in a couple of weeks.

Wishing all you guys all the luck in the world 💜💜💜💜

Evi83 · 24/05/2025 09:46

Oh I’m so sorry @jenk91 . That’s very sad. Take care of yourself xx

Lostmyusernametoday · 24/05/2025 18:02

Oh @jenk91 I’m so so sorry to read your news. Can’t imagine how you’re feeling and I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Hope you’re getting lots of love and support this weekend and in the coming weeks and months.

not sure if this will be any help at all but a podcast I like called worst girl gang ever has several episodes dedicated to missed miscarriage if that might make you feel a bit less alone ❤️

take care of yourself x

Brownowl83 · 24/05/2025 20:16

I'm so sorry @jenk91 this is very sad, sending you best wishes now and over the coming days and weeks ❤️❤️

Foreverhoping33 · 24/05/2025 22:36

@jenk91 im so sorry to hear your update. I hope you are surrounding yourself with people you love and looking after yourself well as I know it can be such a tough time.

I do think sometimes bodies freak out when first get pregnant (think you mentioned this is the first time you have had a positive test) and it ends in a miscarriage as it’s like they don’t know what is happening but then it’s successful the next time (happened to me but also many other people I know outside of ivf) so I would say please don’t give up hope and do try again when you are feeling up to it! (I hope this is a helpful message and not out of turn). Sending soo much love! Xxxx

jenk91 · 25/05/2025 10:12

Thanks so much everyone, really appreciate it 💜

you are right @Foreverhoping33, although it feels so shit right now I’m trying to focus on the positive that I actually did get pregnant so that’s a good sign.

lots of love to you all ❤️

Evi83 · 27/05/2025 08:04

Good luck with your scan today @Brownowl83 ! Thinking of you x
