Ivf/Icis July/Aug Ninewells Hospital Dundee

[pcct]

Ahhh good luck!! I found transfer really emotional ( well the whole,process was) but transfer was just even more.... Just being in that little room and watching your little bean on the screen going Into its little home I have my scan pic on my first page on my ivf journal it's just a little white line I remember crying as soon as the nurse held my other hand and pointed my baby out to me on the screen... I remember after being changed into our scrubs before going thru my the nurse said she had seen our little embie we are transferring today and it's Beauitful just like its mummy... And the scary thing is kaden is actually my double all over!!!

You will have to tell us everything about tomorrow!!!

Lots of luck for tomoro H, can't wait to hear all about it. What are your plans for the 2ww?
Chi - how lovely you are nesting now. I agree with V, don't google, it's biased to negative stories and lots of women hit the jackpot with one iui. Keep us posted!
V - that's me officially a week done for the spray. Only one more and it's the scan. Gulp. Any sign of af for you? I keep thinking she's going to start but nada so far. Xx

Aww Pcct thank you for that as I wasn't 100% sure what happens tomorrow, is it sore at all? I pray to god this works, as it would be the best Xmas present I could ever have wished for!! Haha aww that's funny how she said about him like you 😛! Cuteee!! Xx

Minno I'm really not sure, I'll be working so that will keep me occupied but I know I'm going to be thinking about it 24/7 and I think that will make it worse so I think I'm going to try keep myself busy and not think about it 😔! I have so much to do with Xmas so think that will keep me busy. Not long till your scan now 😄 xx

 

[pcct]

No not sore at all!! You won't feel a thing well maybe a tad when there putting the tube thing in but it's not uncomfortable! Now that would be an awesome x mas pressy! kaden was my mothers days pressy bfp

Yeah u and dh will see the embryologist first and chat about your babies then u go into a room a d both get changed Into scrubs ect then go into a little room and they go back and forth checking id ect then once all is comfirmed they go ahead, u get a little scan pic and that's you all done I went to loo then we went for something to eat then home lol ... I really can't wait to hear how u get on how many embies do you have waiting?

 

[H4M]

Aww thank you so much at least I know what to expect now 👍😊! May sound a silly question but do I need to rest straight after it or allowed to carry on as normal? Well when he phoned us yesterday 3 were very good, 1 a bit behind and two mixed , so will see tomorrow, really hope they are ok... Xx

 

[pcct]

Well when I was doing my cycle most people were saying you lie flat for 30 mins after it but we didnt have to we left straight after BUT the clnic told me I can either carry on as normal or rest no matter what I do it will not affect the end result! The nurses may tell you the same, now I carried on as normal ( I treated my self as if I was preg) well I was sort of lol ... The best way to look at it, if it wasn't medically done via ivf or that and you fell pregnant naturally at this stage you wouldn't know you were pregant so would be carrying on as normal anyway!

Aw your little embies are doing fab!! How many are u putting back? X

 

[H4M]

Oh man I have another question my minds working overtime!! I need to go in with a full bladder, on Monday the embryologist had said not to bother as had to go in earlier and he would give me water Ect but had a voicemail from him today to say go in a bit later and have a full bladder... How much am I meant to drink? And how long before or can I sit on the way with a bottle of water? Sorry prob a really stupid question!! X

 

[H4M]

Just saw your reply, that's good I'll ask them tomorrow and see what they say ! Thank you so much for all your help and advice it's been so great and helpful to me. One I think, prob discuss in morning, he said one is best but if they aren't great then two would be best xx

 

[pcct]

Well I was 1.5hr away from clinic and I drank water all the way there / were to b there for 8am u would say my bladder was just comfortable full lol - I wish I knew bits and bobs wat to sort of expect when I done mine but couldn't find a ninewells thread like this one, or anyone that had actually been thru it at ninewells too!

 

[H4M]

Thank you I will drink from when I get up.... Lol! Thanks so much for all your help, reading what you have all done has been a help, it's ashame you couldn't find a thread like this, I feel this has really helped me.! I really need to sleep now lol night xx

 

[H4M]

Hello everyone!
Well that is me finally home! What a hectic morning (nothing to do with hosp) I'm now home though and have my feet up so going to try and relax !!
Well 3 of my embryos were no good!! One was a bit behind and two were early blastocyst ? So he suggested putting back both of them, not sure if anyone knows about this or experienced this? He said by tomorrow they should be how they should have been today? He explained it all and it made sense to me but now I'm trying to make sense of it or explain it's hard lol! Dr kini done the transfer, first time I've met him, the nurse was lovely and very reassuring and we got the wee scan picture she said it's a very clear picture and they don't often get them that clear!! I didn't know exactly what I was looking at but she explained it all. Now all I have to do is hope, pray, stay positive and keep myself occupied!! Going to be very hard! I really hope this works and I get a Christmas miracle does anyone have any advice on what I should do right now as I'm now feeling paranoid lol!! xx

 

[pcct]

Hey Hun, to me it sounds like the 2 you have are actually good... Rather than being a full day 5 blast it's like a 4 almost 5.. And there in the best place to grow!! I have a good feeling and congrats on being pupo with possibly little twinnies

My best advice would be try to relax your body and mind and let your body do its thing!

Hope you didn't have to cross the bridge to get to Dundee the wind is picking up crazy speed again!!! The scan pic is such a lovely thing to keep I kept mine under my pillow lol

 

[H4M]

Thanks Pcct I've just looked up again about it and your right, he did say that but I'm not good at wording things haha! I really hope this works, thanks for all your advice I was a bit worried when got taken into the room but all I kept thinking was you told me it wouldn't be sore lol, so thank you !! Luckily enough I didn't have to cross the bridge but my DH is away to watch the football and I got all the way home and realised he had the bank card so had to go all the way back into Dundee to get it !! Lol!
I'm going to try my best to relax! I have a busy life and seem to never stop so I'm just going to try and take it easy for the next two weeks then will take it from there 😊, how's beautiful Kaden? That's lovely about scan pic under pillow! I might just have to do that X

 

[pcct]

Aww am so glad to hear that am rubbish at wording things too
You can't help things going thru your mind while ur on way to the clinic .. I remember our 6 week scan our car broke down right at the round about just as u turn to go into the hospital. Was 10 mins before my appt too ages to walk the rest then all the way Down the corridor lol

Try take it easy for the next couple of days.. And a tip for you.. Laugh lots! Apparently helps little embie lol

Kaden is doing great thanks

 

[H4M]

Oh no what ashame, bet you were rushing around running down the corridor lol! Why do these things always happen at the worst times lol!! Glad Kadens doing great. Oh man I'll prob find myself laughing for no reason now lol.. People will think I'm going nuts haha! Comedy tv here I come!! Xx

 

[pcct]

yeah I was all flustered and puffed out I had to make sure I was on time as u know they all run on time schedules! I made it tho!!

What is your test date again? The 30th x

 

[H4M]

Haha aww I could just imagine, we were running a bit late to one of our app due to traffic and I was flapping but they were fine 😊. Test date is 28th so right in the middle of Xmas and new year!! Eek!! I keep getting very mild little needle like pains in my lower stomach, don't know if this is normal or not 😔not all the time just every now and again it's a little sore! X

 

[pcct]

Yeah we were running late for one at the start of the ivf I had to phone to say we would be late it almost got cancled :0 oh had to drive 100mph all the way on motorway to try get us there with only being 10 mins late rather than 30 mins late!!! Was so glad to have a more relaxed trip back home lol

Am sure I had slight mild pain after my transfer too , wasn't painful but I did try ignore it

 

[H4M]

Oh goodness that's not good just as well you didn't get stopped for speeding haha! How far away from Dundee do you live then if you don't mind me asking?
Ah ok I'm just ignoring it but I'm a worrier so need to stop worrying lol x

 

[pcct]

I know! I was scared lol... On our way back we checked for speed cams so lucky the roads where empty too! Neva Eva speed like that but our appt was going to get cancled lol... I stays in Falkirk right over the bridge it's about 1.5hr away!

Am I worrier too , but it was making me think crazy things so tried my best to stop worrying , but my oh help me to stop worrying as much x
