[Nevergiveup]

Hi everyone! Does anyone fancy joining me going through this process? I’m currently day 1 after being down regulated for the last week.
Last cycle I did the short protocol and ovulated before egg collection so my consultant suggested doing the long protocol this time (I did it years ago and I have a child from a FET). My hormones have been ok so far (unlike years ago lol) but today I’ve had 2-3 teary moments for no reason, now I’m just in agony with period pain.
How is everyone else? x

Hello Nevergiveup:) How are you? I had today my lining scan and they said its lovely and thick(11.5) so i am ready for my FET transfer. This will be my 3 rd transfer so 3rd time lucky i try to think positive.. they booked transfer for next Wednesday.

[Nevergiveup]

Hi Aga

That’s good news for you, everything goes well for you.
I have my scan tomorrow to see if I’m down regulated and ready to start my stims.
I am bleeding more again now though, my period was coming to an end but it’s started back up so not sure what is cracking off x

[ladamesansmerci]

Hi both! I take my trigger shot tonight and have egg collection on Wednesday. Very nervous but excited!

How are you guys getting on?

I'm worried as I only had 1 scan on day 9, they've not scanned again before telling me to trigger! I had about 19 follicles on day 9, and 10 looked like they were going to be the right size. My AMH is 8.6 so those results probably aren't too bad. It's my first cycle My lining was looking good at least.

Hello ladies.
How are you today ? I had my blood test today and we are ready for my FET transfer tommorow i am exited and nervous. I hope 3 rd time lucky
Nevergiveup how was your scan ?
Ladamesansmerci how are you? Are you ready for you eggs collection tommorow ?:) good luck

[ladamesansmerci]

Eek good luck Aga!! Best of luck for tomorrow, will keep everything crossed for you! Hope this is your time <3

I'm very nervous and feeling anxious about everything that could possibly go wrong lol. I'm paranoid I've already ovulated as my boobs are very sore and I've felt warm today, so I'm convinced there won't be anything there tomorrow

[Aga]

Ladamesansmerci good luck today. I hope you have got that feeling coz of drugs only not early ovulation. I hope everything will go with plan for you. My plan for today; take my little one to school, transfer and relax:) let us know after everything good luck for us

[ladamesansmerci]

Got 9 eggs collected! Reasonably happy with that given my AMH and that they only expected about 6.

Fingers crossed for plenty of mature ones that get fertilised tomorrow!

Hi everyone. I thought I would join as I’m currently in the TWW post fresh embryo transfer on the 09/09. This is my first cycle, prior to this I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in May, found to have grade 4 endometriosis and PCOS. I had 4 months of Prostap injections. Egg collection on the 04/09 8 eggs, 5 fertilised, 3 made it to blastocyst stage so I have two frozen embryos. We used the caremaps embryoscope. I have tested over the last few days and thought I could see the faintest of lines when held up to the light but unsure if I just had line eyes as it has never got darker. Feel like I have lost all hope. OTD is tomorrow 22/09. Has anyone had a late positive? Does anyone know what happens after fresh embryo transfer fails, how long is it until I can start my next cycle with the frozen embryo with CARE? Feeling so deflated.
Sending baby dust to you all, and fingers crossed for you ladamesansmerci that you have a good amount of fertilised eggs today xxx

Hi guys also in the tww! Had my second FET on Tuesday!! The dreaded wait begins.. have 2 frozen ones left aswell as another round of ivf if we need it. Got 4 blastocyst from 4 eggs so was pretty happy with that from my first round of ivf. First transfer failed hoping this one sticks

I don’t know how soon after a fresh embryo transfer you can go again, but with a frozen one I had to wait for a natural bleed after my withdrawal bleed then we went again, about 8-10 weeks after mine was but it all depends on your natural cycle and how long you have to wait for the withdrawal bleed and what not! But like I said that’s just from my experience with my cycles !

So far have 0 symptoms but I’m keeping positive not to discouraged yet as only had transfer 2 days ago!

Have you taken any tests so far? Good luck for tomorrow! Sending baby dust!

[Hebarby23]

Hi Lowlwatkins, thank you for your reply. I’m on nights so I’m messed up with my days but I took another test before I came to work last night and I feel like there’s a very faint line but not really holding out much hope for my test today as really it should be darker by now. It won’t be until the afternoon I take the test when I’ve been to bed as I guess that’s similar to my FMU. Then I will ring care and find out the next steps.
Good look with your journey, fingers crossed for you that you get a BFP soon and sending baby dust your way xxx

How are you going ladies ? I already 2 dpt, and i am feeling ok. I try to rest but it is really hard with 4 yo. I am thinking positive Hebarby23 how was your testing today ? Lowlwatkins how are you felling ? Any symptoms ?:) have a lovely day!

Hi ladies! I had my FET on the 9th, it's my third attempt and today is my official 2WW over and i'm pregnant I actually was a bit naughty and started testing from day 6 post transfer but it was a faint positive right back then (so of course i tested every day since and watched the line getting darker).

FYI
1st attempt: Fresh transfer didn't work
2nd attempt: Pregnant but at 12 weeks baby was very ill with Downs so aborted on drs advice

[Aga]

Hi Siba.
Congratulation Did you have any symptoms? How are you feeling ?

[ladamesansmerci]

Eekkk massive congrats on your BFP best of luck with the pregnancy!

And good luck to those in the tww. I can't imagine how hard it must be. I know it would be all I could think about!

Out of my 9 eggs, 8 were mature, and 5 fertilised. I've got care maps so I've asked them to ring me with a day 3 update today, so fingers crossed I'm very scared they will all have stopped developing!

Provisionally booked in for transfer on Monday. Really hoping I have one to freeze too

On a side note, I'm already SO over the Progesterone pessaries. I had no side effects from any of the others meds, but so bloated and constipated on these I struggle with IBS anyway lol and these are just making the suffering worse

[ladamesansmerci]

Update for day 3.

All 5 eggs are doing well so far! All top quality, with 3x 8 cells and 2x 10 cells. Praying they hang in there until Monday no idea how many I can realistically expect to make it now! Trying not to feel hopeful as I'm still anxious they will all stop developing

[Lowlwatkins]

How are you going ladies ? I already 2 dpt, and i am feeling ok. I try to rest but it is really hard with 4 yo. I am thinking positive Hebarby23 how was your testing today ? Lowlwatkins how are you felling ? Any symptoms ?:) have a lovely day!

Day 4 today!! Not really any symptoms, slight feeling in my lower tummy but nothing that’s making me excited yet, my boobs are crazy sore but they was on my first transfer and that was a negative, It’s only day 4 though, I’m not going to test early, I’m going to try and hold out until day 10/11.

How is everyone else in the TWW feeling? Any symptoms?

And congratulations on the BFP !!! Xxxxxx

That’s good!!! Keep us updated!! finger crossed they all make it!!!

[Lowlwatkins]

Just had the most horrible stomach pains couldn’t work out if it was from the transfer or just a random stomach ache only last 5 minutes but wasn’t comfortable like I really needed the toilet the feeling in my stomach low down but I didn’t go to the toilet if that makes sense! Anyone had similar feeling and it’s been implantation?

[ladamesansmerci]

4 out of the 5 made it! So got 3 in the freezer and had one put back in today. She said they were all the highest grade so fingers crossed one takes

Officially in the tww now!!

To be honest apart from the other day when I had really painful stomach for about 5 minutes, I haven’t really had any symptoms no cramps no spotting, but my boobs on the other hand are so sore they feel like magnets when I left them they like go back down really quick like a magnet grabbed them that’s the only way to describe it and a little bit snappy mainly with my partner lol, I honestly was not expecting to see 2 lines, I did a clear blue one today and that was positive but faint, but I’ve just done another hcg strip and that was darker than this morning so

Have you tested yet? I wish I hadn’t tested early because now I’m terrified the lines are going to fade, test day isn’t actually until Monday so it’s gonna be an annoying wait! Keep me updated xxx

[Aga]

Lowlwatkins Everythink will be fine no worries try to rest as much as possible now :)how are you feeling ? No i didnt test yet. I am so scared. Last 2 times i tested yearly and now i decided to wait till my ODT.
