Sarah
I feel like a young pup but trying to convince my eggs of this is quite the task!
I do have faith it will all work out. Fxd for your fet I think your feeling about it is the right one! I'm feeling very confident for you and glad that your husband is a great support and comfort to you

just wanted to share this:

my mum had about 4 miscarriages before me, and she just wrote this to me in private message on fb:

"I so understand the frustration,but if I hadn't kept trying I would never have had u,and u have enriched my life beyond measure"

What a lovely message. And what a perspective. Thank you for sharing.

Sarah - what a thoughtful and wonderful thing for your mother to say. Thank you so much for sharing. Such positivity gives me strength and will add a happy note to my whole day.

clinic phoned and beta is down to a 2, so thats good, Im glad nothing is being prolonged. Ive started some light bleeding and I have a terrible headache, I hope this period wont be that bad.

they are going to mail all my info and prescriptions for my frozen transfer so I can get started CD1 (end of this month) regardless of where in the world I am! then I go to see them CD10 for them to check the lining ready for the frozen transfer. I will be on estrogen and baby aspirin and then progesterone. it will be nervewracking when they start to defrost the blastocysts....I hope most of them survive

it will be nice to have this month off then start the new year off fresh.

those of you doing IVF in january please let me know the dates you start!

I'm going through one last IUI right now and then taking a month off to relax! Planning IVF month to begin late January! Will be a little behind the rest of the January starters but rooting you on while you get your BFP's!

I'll know when I start in January after I see the doctor on the 5th I'm sure all will go well with your FET

Sarah- how many do they defrost? I assume more than they put back but have no idea how it works!
January is going to be an exciting month for all, yippee x x

I think they do one at a time, until they get 2 to transfer. My sheet said 80% usually survive, so I hope at least 6 will be fine so thats 3 frozen transfers.

I just got a cancellation appointment for Jan 9 with my FS (usually shes booked up months in advance) so thats great as I will see her right before my FET gets going.

Im bleeding now, want to get that over with then I can have a nice relaxed month. Gonna work out this month, and try and eat a bit better and see if I can lose a few pounds before next month.

Sarah, thanks for finding me. I've been looking for over 35 IVF thread. My first IVF was unsuccessful and I think I'm going to be starting another fresh cycle in January.

yay glad you came over. Did you just find out your first IVF was unsuccessful? I just went though that myself. I had some evil lines on my first response tests but my beta was only a 6 so either chemical or just something tried and failed. Id be interested to know how your first cycle went....medications, how many follicles etc. Its so hard when it doesnt work. I feel at our age it might just take some time to find that golden egg/embryo. Theres now 4 of us IVFing in January so we can support eachother
