Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Aurora CHK]

Hi ladies, thanks for the well wîshes for my EC this morning! Incredibly they said they got 8 eggs (we were expecting three) but warned not to get hopes up as might be that the others are all immature (and according to the law they can only inject sperm into the mature ones). But I'm keeping fingers crossed that four or more are mature and fertilise as that way we can get to blastocyst! And most important thing about that will be that I get an extra day off work as it would be Tuesday, rather than the weekend transfer we're more likely looking at

Congrsts ILT on heartbeat and sending high hopes for lil one to have just been sucking it in for the cameras!

Can't believe that pesky is still giving you guys the runaround, Mrs W, Bumpdorkle and Star. Haha, gonna leave that silly autocorrect there, Bumpsparkle, as might give you a small smile.

Comfy, wish I had a way to put a grin on your face. Thinking of you

You too, BMW. Sending love and light to your Grandma and family, I'm so sorry that you had to be parted at this time but hope your faith will give you lots of comfort and healing at this horrid time.

MoBaby and Beth - hope those lines get darker and darker, and remember that any darkening must mean a BFP! I'm sure you have babies cooking.

Bet you do too, Jaybo. I love your all-natural approach to testing!

CMo, glad you're feeling better and hope stims gives you just what you need and deserve. Lucky seven! Enjoy the acu today. Us IVF ladies just can't get enough of being stabbed with sharp stuff, eh?

Lizzie, hope Minnie and Mo are settling in nicely and well done for your fab PMA.

FirstTry, sending you lots of love, and to Amoreamy and all our other ladies whether actively posting, lurking, or taking a break.

Libby, I am sending you so much love. You are brave and strong and you WILL get there. Love going out to Snoopy too

Sorry anyone missed; I don't dare scroll back and risk deleting this essay!

ha ha ha I knew it, I was right I was right I was right. Keeping everything crossed for fert report tomorrow hun but well done you!!

 

[MoBaby]

8 eggs is great!!! Congrats!! I hope most are mature!!

 

[MoBaby]

Libby: My wondfo does look that way.. My frer was lighter compared to yesterday am but I didn't test at night because I didn't want to waste a test. I wish I did now! Hopefully it progresses.

 

[Jaybo]

Hi CMo - glad your downreg scan went well and you can move on to stimming. Good luck - when's your next scan?

Comfy - I know how you feel, I've got no PMA whatsoever, so I'm glad you have a good feeling for me! I've got AF cramps again today so I'm sure the witch is just hanging around waiting for me to stop the yucky pessaries before she breaks-through! Hope you feel better after your TV binge.

Libby - good to hear from you. How you're feeling is perfectly understandable, it's so heartbreaking. Have you done another test since the last one?

Mo - sorry your disappointed with today's test, it's impossible to know with the extra shots you've had and every pregnancy seems so different try not to read much into it not being the same as last time. I hope it's darker tomorrow.

Arora - 8 eggs! Wow! congratulations. I hope your get a got fertilisation report.

 

[lizzie78]

Argh just typed a massive personal one and lost the flipping lot!! Quick short one instead

Libby - You are coping so well at something that is so difficult x

Mo - I'm confused and agree with Libby, are the lines getting darker?

CMo - great that you are onto stims, I always feel better once DR is over.

Comfy - that sounds like the perfect way to take your mind off things a bit. I'm also all stocked up on box sets and now get annoyed that DH keeps wanting me to watch other stuff instead! Try not to let the lack of symptoms get to you, so many people don't get them and most of them can be side effects from the damn pessaries anyway.

Love to everyone else, daren't try to go back a page further in case I lose it all again. Just a quick thank you for all your kind words about Minnie and Mo, if they grow up to be hoodlums who love hard rock played at max volume I will blame you all Thank you though, so silly the things we suddenly worry about with this thing!

BMW, I am so sorry for your lost .

To all my PUPO ladies, hang in there.

Mo, I think those are the start of your BFP! I see it getting darker. FRER is expensive. I didn't want to waste those also. I hope to see darker line tomorrow.

Beth, how are you doing?

To all the ladies who are waiting for AF, hope stupid witch comes soon! She's never around when you want her .

Thank you for the well wishes. I am sorry for not replying individually ladies. I think the little one is trying to prove the RE to be wrong. All my symptoms just doubled. Super tired and last night I finally throwing up for real instead of bile and dry heaves (sorry TMI). This morning, my queasiness just goes up a couple levels. I've read that most REs think 3 days are ok. I think mine is very conservative and trying to cover his own butt lol. It's ok. I am not worried for now. Little one is giving me strong signals that he/she is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Aurora, congrats that's great news!!

Ilt, sorry you're feeling grotty but hooray little one is really exerting their presence. It's all going to be great!

 

[FirstTry]

I think that's right, ILT. MS is a great sign of a sticky bean.

BMW: so sorry for your loss

Mo: I think you're in good shape

For all of the ladies feeling down (I'm included this morning): PMA is not a requirement for a BFP! So, do what you need to do to feel better, but don't worry that feeling down will hurt your chances

Oh, I almost forgot. AFM, had baseline this am. Lining and ovaries look good. Waiting to hear about blood tests and get the okay to start estradiol shots tonight.

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Aurora 8 eggs is brilliant news! Fingers crossed for your fert report 2mrw!

BMW So sorry to hear about your grandma. There's never an easy time but from experience losing someone when you're close to starting a cycle makes it even sadder. Stay strong x

ILT - I love your PMA throughout all your cycle and pregnancy

Afm Stiiiiiiiilllll waiting! Lots of achiness and cramping feeling and occasional achey boobs, but nothing, not even the spotting I usually get beforehand. Day 33 for someone who's never been later than day 31. If she doesn't arrive by morning I guess I won't be starting to next week due to clinic not doing baselines over weekends x

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Thanks Ladies. I am trying to work but BnB comes first right now hahahaha.

I knew I forgot something! Aurora! Congrats on the 8 eggs. Hopefully all of them or most of them fertilized and you'll have plenty to choose from on transfer day.

Bump, lady...your AF is killing me! hahahaha. Well, she has 3 days to make an appearance and I hope she does so you can start next week.

BMW, you are starting soon too right? Hang in there my friend.

and now...back to the toilet...

 

[Libby4snoopy]

thanks for the kind words ladies

Jaybo: I havent tested since Monday. Period was due yesterday. Does crinone usually delay periods?

ILT: Glad to hear your sick!! It has to be a good sign!

Aurora: Congrats on the 8 eggs, hoope theyre all mature for you

Bump: Where is she????

Mo:Im excited for you, cant wait to see what tomorrows teat does. FX

Everyone else:

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Libby!!

 

[Comfycushions]

Libby, good luck with testing. I really hope this is it for you.

 

[Jaybo]

ILT - the sickness is a great sign, although unpleasant. It doesn't sound like your bubba is planning on going anywhere anytime soon.

Libby - I'm taking cyclogest but I asked the exact question the other day. After a bit of googling (ok a lot) I found the answer was a definate maybe, maybe not. Grr why can't anything be clear. So I think we're in the same boat with the only way to find out for sure being to test. Even though BFNs are horrible I hope you get a different result when you test again. On Monday you would have tecnically been 12dpo so it wouldn't be unheard of. FX xx

 

[star25]

Aurora, fantastic news, well done!

Bumpsparkle, I'm so frustrated for you, I was in your exact same position this time last week, praying for af so I wouldn't have to wait til mon, was sure it wouldn't arrive til too late Fri or sat then about 8pm all of a sudden it was there!

Cmo, good news for starting stimming! Lots of luck your way

First, great your now starting again too, when do you think transfer will be?

Afm, looking forward to the weekend just so I can get to my scan Monday and hopefully see everything is ok, I'm feeling it will be but dont want to get my hopes up too much in case need another week of estogen, fingers crossed!

Libby, hope you see your bfp, theres still time, I'll be on crinone gel, dreading that bit!

Hi to everyone else, hard to write to all on phone, seems like everyones doing well as they can be
Beneath, hope you are feeling a bit better considering, been thinking of you xx

 

[Jaybo]

First - sorry I missed your post! Glad your scan went well today, hope ET isn't too far away now. Thank goodness PMA is not required for a BFP or I'd be out for sure! xx

 

[star25]

It's strange cos I dont think I really feel positive or negative, I dont really know how to feel, I think I'm just scared of getting my hopes up too high and being disappointed but I think I'm leaning to being more positive than negative but dont really want to be if that makes sense whatsoever lol
Sorry that was a complete ramble!

 

[MoBaby]

I don't dee how you ladies haven't tested yet!! I'm an addict so im going to flood this thread with hpt pics lol.. I did a noon test so 6 hours after first. Dare I say there is progression??? Idk... I'm taking another at 6pm. I have to be preggo. I've been so nauseous on and off past 2 days. That's my positive attitude!! Power of positive thinking

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

First! I missed your post too! I keep missing stuff this morning. Yaay for starting tonight.
