3dp3dt...Going Crazy!!

[ababy4us]

3dp3dt and I am going completely bonkers. I'm out of work until Thursday and I may lose it by then

I swear I have been having weird, stabby/tingling/zinging feeling in my uterus all day but then again maybe its my ovaries returning to normal. We transferred 2 8 celled grade 1 embies and I am just praying praying praying that one (hopefully both) stick. Ahhhhh. 8 days until my beta and I will admit, I have already been POASing because I'm an addict and that's how I roll. Of course its still positive because of the trigger but I can't help myself.

Hi,
Just though I'd post as I'm also going through the dreaded wait. Had two embryos transferred on Friday and now have to wait until 21st for a pregnancy blood test.
I am also symptom spotting like mad it's driving me crazy!
I have already had one failed IVF cycle so I need this next week to hurry on up!

 

[Minno]

Me too! Had et today actually. Two transferred and now having a bit of an inner panic about twins!
Can't test for 14-17 days. That's like a lifetime away!

 

[ababy4us]

Oh thank goodness I have 2ww buddies!!

So, at 3dp3dt implantation could be taking place today, right?

I feel like this is going to take forever to wait. We have also had one failed IVF, it was such a poor cycle I knew it was over before it started. This cycle however was awesome. I have been feeling very optimistic up until yesterday/today. I really want this so bad. I'm getting scared, but I guess what ever will be, will be.

 

[Minno]

How have you been feeling? I swear I feel really pms tonight!

 

[ababy4us]

I feel the same way. SUPER pms-y. I just keep panicking, Thinking there is no way they are still in there, the embryos aren't there. So stupid, and so not PMA. I hate these awful awful thoughts that are creeping in. I wish they would go away and I could be blissfully happy.

 

[Minno]

I'm mrs negative too. I think I am just a bit stressed out after the et today and need to chill a bit

 

[Sophie2000]

I have a high fsh at 37 years old so they haven't been able to retrieve many eggs. 6 on the first round and this time round only 4. Three out of the four fertilised this time and by day two they knew the best two to transfer back so I had the transfer really early so I always worry that this is not good and won't know if they will even make it to blasto stage.
It's just been such a long road now with three failed iuis and one failed ivf I just think is it ever going to be my month!
Good luck to you both and let's how we all get the news we have been waiting for!

 

[Minno]

Good luck to you as well. We were lucky this cycle to get six blasts. Mind you I had to travel abroad to get a decent package of care and some guarantees. Here in Uk the ivf clinics have always disappointed me. I am so used to failure I feel like it will
Never happen. I think a 3 day transfer works for a lot of ladies and better inside you than in the lab. Did u have assisted hatching too?

 

[ababy4us]

Sophie, FWIW I have very good friend IRL who had a 2DT with a not-so-great embryo (only transferred 1) and she has a BEAUTIFUL little boy so keep the PMA, dear!


Its so hard though when you experience failure after failure after failure. These past few days I have been thinking how could this possibly work?! It really is amazing that a good portion of the time it does indeed work!

 

[Minno]

Ladies how are you both treating the 2 ww? I feel a bit delicate like I should be lying down and resting a lot but have to go back to work on Monday and don't want to be rushing around either. Are you both just going about your usual day?

 

[ababy4us]

Today is the first day I am doing normal activity. I pretty much just been lounging around the house not doing too much. I go back to work tomorrow (thank goodness) and today I have been cleaning all morning, I'm going to go out shopping and have some lunch with a friend. But before today like I said, taking it easy but I have been going for my nightly walk with hubby and pooch
There are soooo many conflicting things about bed rest and normal activity in the 2ww. They say just don't do anything that will make you say "Maybe if I didn't do that, it would've worked." So if you aren't comfortable doing it and you may regret it if its a failed cycle just don't do it. That was the best thing I've read. On another note, plenty of women have no idea they have conceived, human life was meant to be hearty, think of the cave women

 

[Minno]

Good point! If we hadn't had ivf we wouldn't even know there were embryos trying to implant. I am resting a bit today but tomoro will have to make a start on some housework! Needs must!
Are u hoovering?
X

 

[Sophie2000]

Six blasts that's a great result minno, did the clinic freeze the rest for you? How does that work then going abroad, do you need to spend a lot of time there and is it a lot cheaper than the UK? This is my last chance on the NHS so will be spending thousands next time if this doesn't work.

Thanks for the info on your friend ababyforus that's really encouraging news for me !

Well nearly another day down for this waiting game......

 

[Minno]

Hey Sophie. Yes we put two back and froze four. Prague clinic has been excellent - quite a bit cheaper than uk even with flights accommodation etc. You can go for one longer stay (10-12 days) and do it all in one trip or go for two shorter trips. We did two as suited as better. Clinic has great success rates at 60% and gives guarantees of at least five eggs and two quality embryos. It was a better deal than the UK where you have to wait on that dreaded call to say if eggs have fertilised, any to transfer etc. Just wish is gone there first! X

 

[Sophie2000]

Wow how can they guarantee five eggs with two good ones?? Are the stimulation drugs a lot higher than over here. My consultant said he was giving me the max dose which was 300 of merional and I only managed four last time..... Do you have to go back for preg test or is that it now?? X

 

[ababy4us]

Minno- I did do some hoovering (I think that means vacuuming? Sorry, from the states )

Today, I just said screw it! I'm carrying on about life and not stressing what will be will be. That lasted about 2 hours now I'm back to Googling

 

[Minno]

😄 ha ha lol love that! Totally the same - must avoid Dr Google - he is baaaaad! I have thought thru every eventuality from it not working, to working then going wrong, to bfn and everything in between - it's a nightmare.
Wish I could switch my brain off. But I'm also going to just try to get back to normal and chores tomoro including vacuuming (lol yes hoovering is a uk thing!).
Had some serious cramping tonight - could be to do with a wee touch trapped
Wind and constipation, sorry tmi! Too scared to go to the loo!
Sophie I did donor egg ivf so that's how they give guarantees cos they have multiple donors and can just keep going until they get enough. But even with normal ivf they offer a better deal
And more assurances - costs about 2.5-3k so cheaper too xx

 

[ababy4us]

How are you ladies doing?

Do you test early?

I have been testing and just got 50 sticks in the mail. I figure by the end of this weekend we should know whether or not we will be parents in 9 months. Its scary!

 

[Sophie2000]

Haha 50 sticks should do it!
To be honest I'm a bit scared to test in case it's a BFN and then I will be just devastated. I have a blood test at the clinic on Wednesday so going to try and hold out until then. Always in the past AF has shown up before the blood test so I've known before. Good luck with your testing though and hoe it's great news.
How have you been feeling, any symptoms? Yesterday I had a few mild twinges on left side and also mild pain like AF is on way. I don't know if I'm just spottin every little think and preying it's implanting!!! Crazy crazy I always get AF pains a few days before it shows so hope it's not that!!!
I've just been going about my normal activity work etc... I have a desk job so nothing too strenuous.
Good Luck ..... X x
