Re: February 2023 cycle

Wishing you so so so much good luck!! I understand it’s nerve-wracking but it’s good 2 were still in it running and hopefully at least 1 has made it. Would you be transferring one or two if both ok? They could call anytime over the next 4 hours so I’m just patiently waiting. I spent a lot of yester...

Re: February 2023 cycle

I feel the same as before to be honest (as this is my second collection). Groggy, emotional and a little pain, which will no doubt get much worse over the coming hours. I’m hoping for some good fertilisation as with the PGTA it’s quite high standards for the day 5 blastocysts so the more we have th...

Re: February 2023 cycle

Bleeding has got heavier today and definitely more pink. I have never had bleeding when I am progestrone even when the embryo has not implanted the bleeding only started after I stopped the drugs. Don't know what to think hoping it will calm down. So sorry to hear that, it must be stressful but I t...

Re: February 2023 cycle

You’re absolutely allowed to feel sorry for yourself - it’s natural when you get a curve ball.
