Bluebell, thats great news im really excited for you!!! Fantastic that you had two top grade embryos to transfer! How was the transfer, is it fairly quick and easy? What happens now did they give you a date to go back for bloods?

Im trying to stay positive about Monday but I had really geared myself up for today so felt a bit deflated when they said I wasnt going in. Im keeping everything crossed that they continue to grow and I get a blastocyst on Monday at least then the extra wait will have been worth it!
 
Macca, it was absolutely fine, over and done with in 10mins:flower: Now you are going to have to reconsider your 1 or 2 embie strategy if you are transferring 5 day blasts!!
I am so relieved that we had something to transfer, I was so scared that was us bust already. OH is away out for a pint as he's had such a "stressful week". The nurses of course found this hilarious!!!
 
haha oh Bluebell that made me laugh, bless him!! I said to my husband this morning after taking the call that this whole process was like am emotional roller coaster and he was like "yeah it must be hard going through this yourself" I sometimes forget that they are in it with us but us ladies definately have the short straw in it all.

I am now completely thinking my 2 transfer strategy!! I was really comfortable with the decision I had made yesterday and now it is all up in the air! I think if we get a balstocyst we will transfer one, however it depends what is left over. If they dont get to blastocyst stage and we have two left on Monday we will transfer both - I think!!

Im praying for a blastocyst so the decision is an easy one!!! We wont know what we have left until we go in for the transfer so we are going to have to make the decision there and then!!!
 
Wow ladies, it's all happening. First of all bluebell, fantastic news you had two lovely embies to transfer and congrats on being pupo! Rest up and enjoy this phase as much as u can, you've waited a long time to get here. What was transfer like? Did it hurt?

Macca, I'm so pleased for you that you have two heading to blastocyst and four possible good to freeze. It's a brilliant result and the best you could have hoped for. Now you have some options which is a great position to be in. Monday will be here in no time and then you will be pupo too. So exciting!!!

No sign of af yet for me, I hope she stays away til
Monday and then I can sort out appt with clinic and try to reorganise my work diary - that'll be fun!

Grow embies grow. Nestle down for bluebell xxx
 
Minno, thanks. It was absolutely fine, no worse than a smear and only took mins. The getting started bit is quite exciting!
 
Yes I'm pretty excited now. Just need to get on with it. I think once I've had the first scan and started the mess I will settle a bit. Maybe!!! How did you find the injections? Any good tips for self administration? X
 
Rest up bluebell, hope time goes in quick for testing day..
Macca, good news 6 eggs... Hope the little fellows are thriving....
I take my last northisterone tab tonight, all the meds are in the fridge. Pros tap due on Friday, going down south on Thursday to see friends and family so getting my friend who is a nurse to give me the pros tap,hope she is my lucky charm!
 
Mandy, enjoy your time away. Praying this time will be your lucky cycle.
Minno, the injections were fine. A bit strange the first time. I tended to use mainly my legs and just kept rotating sites.
Macca, do you think you will get an update on your little eggies today?
General question for all you ladies, I love a cup of tea. Have bought decaf tea bags. Do you think it is ok to drink this? I think I would struggle to get through the day without a cuppa!!!
 
That's so weird! I've just gone and bought decaf tea and coffee. I love a filter coffee in the morning and a cup of tea at night and like you bluebell, don't think I could survive work without it! I reckon 1-2 cups are ok especially if just decaf. I've also found my bottled zita west vitafem lurking in the back of the bathroom cabinet and have started these again too.
 
Great minds!! Have had a glass of milk with my breakfast and dinner last night to appease OH who looks at me disapprovingly when I reach for the kettle!!
 
Mandy good luck in getting started I hope this is your time!!

Minno I put a heat pack on after my injections and that helped take the sting out. They are definitely a lot easier than I thought they would be.

Bluebell I'm sure decaf is fine, my pregnant friend has been drinking it all through her pregnancy! I can't live without my pret coffee in the morning so will be switching to decaf from here on in!

I won't get an update on my embies today, I will have to wait until we go in for the transfer tomorrow morning which means we will have to make a decision on how many to transfer there and then!!!

I started my pessaries last night and they gave me really bad stomach cramp!
 
I started the pessaries last night also and have been quite crampy. I wasn't sure whether it was due to those or just the amount of poking and prodding about over the last few days!!!
 
I suppose the good thing is that all the poking about and side effects from the drugs make it difficult to symptom spot in the 2 ww! I really am dreading that part, I know I'm going to drive myself mad! How are you feeling today Bluebell?
 
I am with you girls on the 'must have tea/coffee' front. I am still haveing my filter in the morning cos I haven't started treatment yet anyway but have started the decaf tea and you know what - I cant taste the difference, really! I am using PG tips decaf and they're great, I would recommend.

Bluebell how are you feeling today - have to you managed to relax at all?

Macca, sorry to hear you are feeling crampy with the pessaries. Are you using them vaginally or rectally? Again, not something I'm madly enthusiastic about...
ARe you both on Progynova - how are you finding that? And also, sorry for all the questions, how did you find the dr injections - any side effects?

Macca thanks for the advice re the injections. I will definately try a heat pack. I think I only have to have 4 in total so should be manageable but not pleasant I'm sure.
Good luck for tomorrow - I'm sure you will make the right decision. Let us know how you get on xxx
 
I've been drinking the tetley decaf for months and they just taste the same.
My partner is a coffee addict got him the Nescafé decaf and like me he is none the wiser.
 
I agree the decaf tea bags taste exactly the same to me. Macca, good luck for tomorrow. I feel really positive for you. You have had a brilliant cycle so far and should be able to hand pick your embie.
Minno, I am fluctuating from being optimistic to thinking there is no way this can possibly work. I think because ours were put back so early and we have no real idea of quality it all seems completely hit or miss!! But then I tell myself you put back a perfect embie and even that doesn't get you pregnant!! It's all a mind game at this stage!!
 
Minno I felt a bit sick and tired on the injections but the side effects weren't nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Thanks Bluebell I'm feeling really anxious about tomorrow, we have no idea what we will be left with tomorrow and if we will even have a blastocyst! I'm just hoping my embies have been growing well over the weekend. We have decided if we don't have a blast then we are transferring two!

I think once you be to transfer stage it's all luck, I hope we both get plenty of it!!!
