Anyone starting IVF cycle in April/May?

[lizzie78]

Eek pre treatment scan is booked for Thursday and I have my first acupuncture appointment on Friday, things are starting to happen. This is the first test for my manager at work as the scan is in the middle of a meeting with the Shareholders and the acupuncture appointment prevents me being able to get to London for an all day meeting. He is fine about Friday but now I have to break the news to him about Thursday too.... fingers crossed!

 

[JACKDOLL]

Whoowhoo lizzie. All the best for Thursday

I just got a call from embryologist to tell me I have 2 frozen embryos.. Can't believe it. Has anyone ever experience or heard suscess rates with frozen embies?? I've never really looked into it before.xx

 

[star25]

Jackdoll,well done on the frosties, I havent heard too much about them but sure there will be lots of success stories on here

Lizzie, eek! Exciting times, hope all goes well with your manager , bet your looking forward to thurs to get things started

Yearningheart, thinking of you, hope ec went ok and you got
Lots of nice eggs

Twinkle, have you tested again today?

 

[twinklemama]

Jackdoll, that's great news! My friend conceived her little boy with a frozen embie. She has 2 brothers/sisters waiting for Harry in the lab in gcrm in Scotland!

Yearningheart, so glad you've made it to today, can't wait to hear your news! I didn't have the constipation problem, quite the opposite cos I was nervous! I was terrified what might happen on the table cos if had an Indian the night befor my EC lol!!!

Congrats Lizzie on getting your appointments, so exciting that you're moving forward!

AFM, didn't bother testing this morning as I was getting terrible results on my fmu tests. Still having twinges in both ovaries, but also feeling like AF is coming today. Had a few bits of brownish crinone come out today aswell. Has anyone heard of this going on to BFP? I'm starting to think its a chemical pregnancy. On the other side, I practically puked again this morning, but don't know if that's down to nerves tho. Aaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!

 

[twinklemama]

Haha star, we posted at the same time! No test today, will see how I feel when I get home from work if I'm gonna do one later. Might do one if AF hasn't appeared.

 

[JACKDOLL]

That's great about your friend twinkle, do you have any frosties? When is your test date/blood test? I'm really praying & hoping you get a BFP. How many days past are you? If I had my transfer yesterday doesn't that mean I'm 1dp5dt? Frig I've a long way to go! Already feel like I want to test early and here was me convincing myself I wasn't going to test! What's the earliest everyone has tested?

Can't wait for yarningheart news on EC

 

[lizzie78]

Jackdoll - that's great news about your frosties

Twinkle - don't give up just yet even though the situation must be driving you crazy. The early pregnancy symptoms are so similar to those of AF that this could still be good news for you. I haven't given up on you yet xxx

 

[star25]

Twinkle, I dont know what crinone is but someone I talked to before on here had icsi and near her test date she started bleeding so grabbed a test quick and it was positive, it was light and stayed light for day's with bleeding brown discharge and blood for about 4-5 days and all turned out fine and tests got darker
Good luck

 

[twinklemama]

Think that's me out, started bleeding at lunchtime. Can't go home as I have a full diary of patients this afternoon (I'm a dentist) and most of them are patients I cancelled to be off for treatment so don't want to cancel them again. Absolutely gutted. I know there's still a chance of a good outcome but it's looking very bleak. No frosties, so it'll be another fresh cycle once we get the funds up. The only plus side is that my boss is getting married on Friday, so at least I can have a drink at the wedding.

 

[twinklemama]

Jackdoll, yes that's u 1dp5dt. Try to hold off if u can, but I've seen people get results from about 7dp5dt. Trigger takes 14 days max to get out of ur system to try to wait til after then if u can. Good luck pet, hopefully some more positivity for this thread xo

 

[star25]

Sorry twinkle just see how it goes,all might be ok
Hope the rest of the day goes quick for you xx

 

[lizzie78]

Twinkle, so sorry, hope that things still turn out well but sending you lots of love for how you feel right now

 

[JACKDOLL]

Twinkle I'm absolutely gutted for you, this is such a long & horrible process that we all have to go through & to get a BFN just makes it even more horrible. I was really hoping this was your time. I know how you are feelin right about now and you see everyone getting BFP's and yes it is unfair that you have had to go through this for a 3rd time with no better outcome but you are very strong and had brilliant results from this new clinic & maybe they could do something a wee but different next time for you.
Still praying for you though because people do bleed & get BFP....

AFM I really don't think I could go through all this again, yes I would love a baby and to be a mother but this long rollercoaster ride I'm on has to end sometime soon....I'm diffently more chilled out this 2ww from my last cycle. Got my colour done today with a curly blowdry & hubby just informed me we are going out for our tea

 

[twinklemama]

Thanks for all your kind words girls, it means a lot coming from people who actually know what this is like. I don't know where we go from here, think we both want to consider some more tests before another cycle, but it's just a question of what ones. I think we'll get a review appointment booked tomoro when I go for my bloods xo

 

[twinklemama]

Hey girls, just had my blood result back, biochemical pregnancy. Absolutely gutted. Think hcg was 2, so they just about picked up that I was pregnant. Booked a review for 2 weeks to discuss a way forward. Really think i need to have more tests done before going into this again for a 4th time, but not sure what is available here in NI.

Yearningheart, any news pet? xo

 

[JACKDOLL]

So sorry to hear this twinkle, I really don't know what's available in NI. My friend has had 4 failed cycles ivf. Think she said they maybe have 1 more go but not just yet. I honestly don't think ill be going again, although I've 2 frosties so probably hard not to go again,
When did you start testing? This is driving me nutts!

 

[twinklemama]

Thanx Jackdoll, I started testing on Friday which was 8dp5dt. I still got a positive right up til my last test on Sunday 10dp5dt. Try to hold out if u can, but in a way I'm glad I tested early cos at least I know that I did get pregnant, all the info the doctors can get, the better. I'm so fed up with all of this treatment but we're not gonna give up yet. It just makes it harder going into another cycle. Fingers crossed I can get some more tests done and figure out what's going wrong.
How are u feeling? Any symptoms to report? Xo

 

[JACKDOLL]

Hey twinkle, nothing really to report. A few butterfly feelings in my tummy but it could be just nerves now & again....don't feel tired, just pretty normal... I'm for Dublin this weekend & ill maybe test Monday 8dp5dt. I tested 1 day early the last cycle and regretted it because deep down I knew I was out... So people get BFP as early as 5dp5dt.... Yikes I dunno.

Twinkle your so brave and dedicated to be going for round 4.. This emotional journey is a living nightmare.

I was trying to put all my details etc up for when I post but haven't a clue how to do it

 

[JACKDOLL]

Think I've got the hang of this signature thing now

 

[star25]

So sorry twinkle
You are so strong for going on to find out more, hope it will give any more answers you might need
This is all so hard and I haven't even started yet and I'm already scared of everything going wrong
Sending you lots of hugs xx
