IVF - July Transfers

[WanOvaryKenobi]

Hello,

I started a previous thread for May transfers, but unfortunately, mine was unsuccessful. This was my first transfer, fully medicated (lupron suppression, estorgen priming, progesterone, antibiotics, blood thinners, aspirin, prograf, and prednol), and with a euploid embryo so completely gutted. Anyone else gearing up for a transfer in July? How are we feeling?

Thank you everyone, I feel much better today after I’ve had my time to be sad and let it sink in. Just going to try and enjoy the rest of summer, be as healthy as possible to prep for another egg collection which hopefully won’t be too long away. I’ve also been sent some articles about Chinese medicine improving success rates, so definitely going to look into that, worth a try!

Good luck to everyone, I really hope you all have success ❤️

Hello everyone,

I have frozen transfer later today, my C plus graded ( my clinic don’t use the gardener system just grade a-d).
This is my first round of IVF due to losing both my tubes after ectopics.
I feel like i’m being very negative already and know this cycle won’t work due to it not being a great graded embroyo but hope my body won’t fail me for once!
Any tips for post transfer?
Good luck to everyone else!

@jenk91 you are so strong and have exactly the right mentality. It’s great that you had time to sit with your feelings and to embrace the sadness for a while. Sending you so much luck for your next round and enjoy your summer, have a drink or two!!!

@Rainbowwish26 best of luck!! It really only takes one! I’m so sorry I can’t help you massively in terms of the negative mindset, I’ve been thinking mine hasn’t worked since the day after… but we will get through this TWW, it drags though!

tips - gentle exercise every day, healthy eating with lots of protein, try and limit symptom spotting (even though I do this 24/7), lots of water, no hot baths or swimming, take your meds on time, lots of fruit and veg

Hi, how are everyone doing! Hope it fine to joined and congrats to does who made it to the transfer.
I had 2 fresh transfer who was positive and this is my first FET. I have started my medication so if everything goes well my transfer will be in the next few days. I have done nothing as preparation just taking progynova.

1st July transfer
We had our only embryo transferred on Day 2, and it had just 3 cells at the time of transfer. I’m really struggling with the anxiety and would love to hear any success stories from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
I still have 2 more days until I can test. So far I don’t really have any symptoms. I had some cramping last week and it felt like my period was about to start, but I know that could easily have been the medication. Since then I’ve had nothing, which is making me overthink everything.
I know every journey is different, but hearing some positive stories would really help keep my spirits up while I wait. ❤️

@Kooky0105- it is much cooler which I have appreciated massively. Still warm enough to melt the pessaries mind..!

The food at this point is medicinal for our sanity!!

Ahahah, yeah clinics aren't often the most supportive on early testing and I am totally with you on reading every single thread to ever exist!!

Ooh, no! I was advised to stay away from it all on transfer day since the embryo is outside in the atmosphere but never after!

@HappyMamma2023- Enjoy the ice cream!! I hope the scan went well?

@CaribbeanCupcake- How exciting! Officially on the way!

@jenk91- I have absolutely everything crossed for you in the next round. Thinking of you and I hope you manage to enjoy some of the summer!

@Rainbowwish26- Congratulations on transfer!! I had McDonalds chips and then chilled for the rest of the day but otherwise carried on as normal. Kooky had a much better answer.. all of those things!

@Mymiraclebb- Amazing and good luck!!

@Vjw26- I have no experience I'm afraid but I will say try not to overthink the symptoms. I've had none bar the progesterone ones that I've had all along and I'm fairly sure I'm sat holding my positive test!

That was a monster catch up from me!

I think I got my squinty BFP!

Great news! Good luck!

My scan has gone well it was 9.8. Transfer booked in for next Friday!

@HappyMamma2023- Amazing news!

@OverTired26omg congrats!! So happy for you 🩷

Looking to transfer next month 🫣 my last chance (I'm hoping to convince him to have another go to keep the pressure off, Money is really tight 😰)
Any tips to get ready? I'm a hormonal mess

@OverTired26 oh my goodness!!! Massive congratulations! You’re tempting me to test early now hahah

that is such brilliant news, so happy for you. Will you test again today? What were your (progesterone) symptoms out of interest again?

Thank you @Kooky0105and @CaribbeanCupcake!

The progesterone makes my boobs sore and I'm exhausted. (Though that could be the small child too...!)

I have indeed tested again today and it's looking good. 😀 obviously wishing it was darker but trying to remember it's early. I don't need to edit the photos to see it so it's hopefully okay!

Also my dreams have been very vivid and I've struggled to sleep despite the exhaustion!

That is such brilliant news, I’m so happy for you @OverTired26

it is still early so don’t worry about line darkness, the fact you’ve got such a clear positive is amazing - truly wishing for the same on Monday but not feeling very hopeful tbh…

Thank you @Kooky0105- I still can't quite believe it. It's a very definite line now.

Is Monday your OTD? Or when you'll start testing?

LOVE this update 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you @CaribbeanCupcake.. now I just need to stop fretting over line darkness and whatnot! How are you doing?

@OverTired26 step... away... from the tests!! 🤭

im ok thanks, been feeling a bit flat all week. Not sure if it's the meds? Just riding it out for now and hopefully will pick up soon!

@CaribbeanCupcake- Definitely willing to admit I've got a problem on the testing front 😂 I'm sorry you're feeling flat 😞 it certainly could be the meds, along with what is an exciting but also very emotionally exhausting time.

SO happy for you!! OTD is Monday and I'm holding out until then. I know it will be negative so I'd rather hold out vs test early and still have to take all the medication..

Oh @Kooky0105- I'm sorry you're feeling so negative. I have everything crossed you get a beautiful surprise.

My hormones feel all over the place these last couple of days. We've watched The Snail & the Whale and Stickman and it made me cry!
