April/ May 2024 cycle buddies

[Kellyg1213]

Hi mss, I’m doing good thanks. Nothing new to report how are you? x

[MSS]

Hi Kelly got my bloods in few weeks time hoping levels are back to normal for me to start in April. Had invoice come through for embryo glue not sure if I should have it. Last time I used it my time was negative.

Few more weeks for U to go. Exciting

[Kellyg1213]

Ahh fingers crossed your levels come back good! Is the embryo glue expensive? I had it and it worked but I’ve nothing to compare it to because it was my first transfer. I’d say do it though to give every chance possible.
Yes almost 3 weeks, could come anytime now although I don’t think it will be too soon

[MSS]

Hey Kelly
Its over £300 i had it done last transfer and it didn't work out had a negative.
All the best for your labour. Will pop up to check on you. Good luck xx

Hey kay hope your well. X

[Kay2024]

MSS I’m good how are you doing? Have u had all ur results back? I think you said u were going to have some bloods?
Xx

[Kellyg1213]

Did you decide on the embryo glue MSS?

Kay have you had your scan yet?

I’ve less than 2 weeks left and I can confirm.. these last few weeks are a struggle.. but so excited to finally meet him x

[MSS]

Hey ladies im okay had my blood result at its 3.2 so its gone slightly high. Changed my dosage again. Not sure what the next step is just another waiting game.
Not decided on the glue yet.

Its nice to hear from you kay. X
Kelly are you on maternity leave. The count down has began now for you. X

[Kellyg1213]

Ahh must be frustrating. Have you been doing anything nice to try and take your mind off things?

Yes, my maternity leave started yesterday, last day was Friday it felt fantastic! I feel freeee haha went for breakfast yesterday with a friend and then spent a lot of the afternoon napping.

Hi everyone, just catching up on messages and lovely to hear all your news!

Kelly - not long to go at all. Hope you are enjoying the beginning of maternity leave! I know they say you can’t store up sleep but I do believe there is a lot to be said for being well rested before the birth!

Kay - fantastic news, congratulations! Hope the scan comes around quickly!

MSS - great to have the information from the ERA test, every little helps. Shame about the thyroid but hopefully they can get it all sorted in time for April. As odd as it sounds I always think it’s good if they are fixing / changing something as hopefully that might just be what is needed.
I didn’t have a scratch but I know a lady and at her clinic they do them as standard. I think HFEA traffic light is a bit 50/50 on them.

We are 26 weeks now. I was sick until about 20 weeks and still get it occasionally now if I’m tired / not eaten enough. My placenta is at the front and low so it’s taken a long time to feel much movement (which made me incredibly anxious) but def feeling it now. Will have a scan to check placenta after Easter but planning to have a c section anyway (due to some issues from last birth) so it doesn’t matter too much if it is still low.

Hope you’re all having a good week!

[Kellyg1213]

Hi girls how you all doing?

My baby boy arrived on 24th march by c section. They recommended being induced on due date due to ivf pregnancy, so I was induced at around 1pm on 22nd, but it’s a long process and didn’t break my waters until 9:30am on 24th. Labour then didn’t go to plan baby was getting distressed and epidural didn’t work so they recommended c section. All is well now though and he is perfect, he was a big 9lb

[MSS]

Hi Kelly congrats so happy for you. What have you named the baby.

[Kellyg1213]

Hi Mss, he’s called Kobe. How’re things with you are you planning a transfer this month?

[MSS]

Hi kelly due to start my periods in next dew days that when it all starts again. Feeling very nervous and scared this time. How you feeling? That a nice name.

[Kellyg1213]

That’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you! I forget what the process is now, still have baby brain! But should be transfer within couple weeks right?
I’m doing good, still a bit sore from section but just have to make sure I don’t do too much. Partner is a help there I’ve not had to do any cleaning or cooking for weeks it’s great!

[LucyAvalon]

Huge congratulations Kelly, that’s wonderful news!!

Best of luck for the next cycle MSS - fingers crossed this so the one!

[MSS]

Thank you ladies.

[Kellyg1213]

Hi mss, how you getting on?

[MSS]

Hi kelly

I been good. Had few days feeling bit low questioning if this will ever happen for us. Had my consultation with my consultant said no to scratching the lining. As my lining struggles to grove above 6.2 he said it could make it worse. Just need to see how i get on with my blood test end of the next month. Just need to wait and see.

How are you? How the little man doing?

[Kellyg1213]

Is the blood test for your thyroid?
I had thought you had started your meds ready for a frozen transfer or am I missing something?
Baby boy is good, he’s getting so big, just switched to 3-6 month clothing and he’s only 9 weeks! He’s doing good though, starting to sleep a bit more during the night which is good!

[Kellyg1213]

Or was it a fresh cycle actually? Did you do a new retrieval? X

[MSS]

Hi Kelly glad you and baby are doing well. 9 weeks times going past so quick. I started taking meds for a frozen transfer but had to cancel after 12 days. My thyroid level came back too high. Im still waiting for the levels to drop. I have a blood test end of the month.

[Kellyg1213]

Ahhh as annoying as that is fingers crossed it was your thyroid which was the problem previously and they can get it sorted for you!

[Kellyg1213]

Hey mss! How you getting on?

[MSS]

Hi kelly
My thyroid went too low so was not able to start treatment. I have another blood test end of this month to see if i can continue. It’s not been easy had low days questioning everything. Just hoping i can start and it works out for me.

How are you? How your little one?

Thank for checking in means lot. Xx

[Kellyg1213]

I’m really rooting for you! Your time will come! You’ve been through so much, hopefully it’s a case of getting your thyroid sorted! Do you have good support around you? Can they monitor it in between cycles and adjust meds accordingly or does it not take effect that quick?

We’re good! It really does go so quick, little mans 4 months now, just learnt to roll over! Xx
