Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Jaybo]

Definitely getting darker Mo. Congratulations!!! x

 

[Jaybo]

I've started spotting a bit I'm sure this is AF. I think im gonna test this afternoon just to get it over and done with.

 

[lizzie78]

Mo - no question that is brilliant progression in just one day!!

Jaybo - I know you know this but i'm going to say it anyway to try and boost your optimism. Spotting can be completely normal and definitely does not mean that you are out yet. Keep the faith and we will keep everything crossed for you xxx

Aurora - good look for the fertilisation call today x

Hope eoe is ok??

Nothing to report here, just trying to visualise minnie and mo turning into Blasts today - FX'd!

Thanks Lizzie.

Jaybo, all the hugs.

Mo,

Beth, are you sure you're supposed to come off progesterone? Sure you know best but at my clinic you stay on it for 7 weeks unless it's definitely a no-doubt bfn, AF arrives in full flow etc. hope it's just LO burrowing in cosier that you can feel.

Thanks BMW and Star!

Apparently, all 8 of my retrieved eggs were mature, so all were injected with . However only three fertilised. So we have three embies. I know this is good news but part of me worries why so few ferts? It makes me feel like my body is broken
Anyway, looks like a Sunday 3-day transfer because we want to transfer two. However, because last cycle at 3 days we also had three embies and all looked identical, but only one went on to Blast & the others stopped at day 4, they will decide first thing on Sunday whether to go ahead with transfer (if two are clearly better) or whether to delay to Tues if they need more time to see which are the best two. So, got to book acu for both Sunday and Tuesday by the looks of it (and my acupuncturist is away Sunday so I have to book with another practitioner so probably difficult to cancel the post-transfer session without paying for it if I turn out not to need it). I know that isn't a big deal all thins considered but it just feels like every little bit if this that could be hard, complicated or confusing, is! No part of it is just straightforward. Gah. Well, as of right now I have three embies in the world, so even if this is as far as it goes, I'm declaring myself a mother at this point in time! Sorry for essay/whinge.

Jaybo, stay strong and test when you feel ready, could easily be implantation xx

Lizzie, go little embies! Xx

Aurora, well done on the embies, sure you will have your little baby there xx

 

[Aurora CHK]

I don't think so, Star, but thank you. I think that God/the Universe/Mother Nature is determined that I will never have a baby. But I hope I'm wrong.

Hi everyone!

So pleased it's Friday! Half term now too, woohoo!

Aurora - We only had 3 embies left by day 2, then by day 3 we had only 2 so decision was made to put them both in and take our chances. I hope it works out for you.

I've heard of other clinics keeping the progesterone going for weeks, but Bristol have never done that They stop the cyclogest pessaries after 15 days from the day after EC.

Jaybo - I hope your test is positive and it's just an implant bleed.

Lizzie - Fingers crossed for Minnie and Mo to turn into lovely blasts

Mo - Congratulations on your lovely BFP progression.

BMW - Thinking of you at this hard time x

ILT - Hope you're doing ok with the sickness!

MrsW - Good luck for starting yours!

Libby, Comfy and Star I hope you're all doing ok!

AFM, AF cramps have gone, which is good, i have no sickness but do feel nauseous most of the day. Did another HPT today for DH benefit, it was no darker than the FRER, although it was a Clearblue test as our local shop doesn't sell FRER, so now i'm concerned it's not progressing I've ordered some FRER from the internet but i have to wait until next Wednesday for them to arrive.

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Mo - your progression looks beautiful, congrats!

 

[Comfycushions]

Jaybo sorry you think you're out. Hope you're ok.

Aurora congrats on the 3 embies, wishing them all the best. Hopefully the limbo land of not knowing what's going to happen when passes quickly and that everything works out perfectly.

Beth glad cramps have stopped.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Aurora, I know that it's easier to blame yourself in this whole process when something didn't go the way you wanted. Not saying that you should blame DH but if the eggs didn't get fertilized....Supposedly, it's sperm issue. If the embies don't get implanted, then it's egg issue. the point is takes 2 to tango . So don't be to hard on yourself....and DH! Lol. Deep breath......you have 3!!! Wohooo! Grow little embies....grow! wish we could put a little miracle growth on it. That stuff works like a charm on my plants .

Jaybo, sorry to hear about the spotting but I do agree with Lizzie. just do it! We are all here to support you. You might be prego already....just didn't know it yet!

Beth, I've never seen people used CB to see if the tests got darker. Nausea is a good sign! Enjoy it while you can cause it might kick you on your behind at 6 weeks mark!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I just had 10 minutes of nausea free, just woke up and it's 2:30am! Trying to figure out way to ease my nause. Might go buy the seasick band. It's not very pleasant to feel sick 24/7.....and I thought I could handle it. .hah! oh well...it is what it is. That's my mantra for the past 5 years! Lol.

 

[Jaybo]

Thanks for the positive thoughts girls, but I'm 100% sure this is the start of AF now. Just want to test to confirm it. How long do I have to wait after peeing before I can get an acurate result?

Sorry for the lack of personal responses, I'm a bit all over the place now.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Nausea sucks so bad. Sorry, ILT

 

[MoBaby]

Jaybo you can test now it would be accurate. I'm sorry if af is coming I hope not.

Aurora: that's great you have 3!! Fx they all keep growing.

I took a test this am. I don't understand why I saw progression yesterday and today's test looks like yesterday ams- no darker or lighter. So I don't know what to think. I can't think I'm pregnant right now.

Apparently HCG doubles every 48 hours. Maybe try again tomorrow xx

I have the same problem, only i've run out of FRER so i took a clearblue hpt this morning instead, which is lighter than my FRER that i did on Wednesday so i'm freaking out now too

 

[Comfycushions]

Jaybo I'm so sorry you're struggling.

Mo, surely it's a good sign it's not lighter.

 

[Comfycushions]

Beth couldn't that just be down to the different brand? Try not to panic.

 

[BethK]

Beth couldn't that just be down to the different brand? Try not to panic.

Yes i hope so, i'll try the second Clearblue tomorrow

 

[MoBaby]

I'm wondering if mine is because last of hcg booster is leaving and my hcg is only just starting so now it's at a point to even out? Idk. Trying to not get hopes up too much yet. I put last 3 mornings test here too.

 

[Jaybo]

BFN for sure not looking forward to telling DH.
