Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[CMo]

Sorry comfy hope you're ok

BMW how was your scan.

I popped along to clinic this morning to get more meds and was asking nurse if I should be concerned about my slow growing follicles and she said no and the good thing is they are all growing evenly just now. She did say she didn't think egg collection would be next week now, she said next Friday at a push but more likely a week on Monday! That'll be about 17 days on stims! Has anyone heard of this??

 

[MoBaby]

Cmo I bet you go next week. 17 days is way long!

 

[amoreamy]

Beneath- so pleased everything is good and you can start!

Mrs W- I forgot to say hurray for you follies!

Cmo- The thing to focus on is that they're doing the best thing for your eggs, and they know what they're doing. They are expecting to do my ER on Wed or Friday on stims, that would mean I would be stimming for 15-17 days, so the same as you pretty much

 

[star25]

Cmo, ive heard of people stimming for longer too, as long as your responding dont worry it's all for the best

Ilt, I know it takes ages! I said to dh on way back that from af to transfer will be 26 days! With the ivf. I stimmed for 10 days then had EC, I'm getting impatient now lol

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Star, 26 days...wow. Well, end of February is coming so hopefully it'll pass by fast for you .

 

[Aurora CHK]

Wow Star, that seems an age! My otd comes before then and that feels an eternity away, you must be building the patience of a saint!

CMo, like others have said I'm sure the clinic knows best; it sounds on the long side and I would have thought it would be next week but if not I'm sure it's for really good reason and that all will be well. Sending you extra folly-growth wishes anyway to try to speed things along!

BMW - whoop!!

ILT it's so ace that you've stuck with us!

Have we heard from Beth?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Aurora, we all start this journey together. So of course I am going to be around still to support everyone...until everyone has their BFPs!

I saw Beth at the pregnancy section. It looks like she's doing good (I think). Hopefully Beth won't mind me relaying the news .

 

[Mrs W 11]

Bump, how did your scan go today?

Beneath, glad yours went well, did they see many follicles?

Comfy, I'm so sorry sweetheart I really am. This journey is just so so hard and can be heartbreaking. It isn't the end of the road though, you need to have some time with your oh to be kind to yourself and have some treats and hopefully soon you will be ready to start again. I've learnt that sometimes, the journey is longer and much harder, but if you keep going, you will get there.

Mo, hope you are doing ok.

Ilt, hope time flies by to your next scan, how are you feeling?

Star the fet process is so long, I assumed it should be shorter. Not too long to wait now though and at least you don't have all the stress of stims and folly scans!!

I have another scan Friday and she said they would know more then about what each follicle is doing. The waiting sucks!!!

 

[star25]

Thanks ladies, it could have been about 8 day's shorter if my lining was thick enough but even still tha fs longer than the ivf!

 

[beneathmywing]

ILT -- Thanks, hun! I did change RE's for a reason, and I really really do like my new RE, just don't want to be disappointed!

CMO -- 17 days does sound really long. I'm sure you'll have ER end of next week!

Mrs W -- I was told I had a few follies on left and few follies on right. I didn't get an exact number and don't ask because it is way too early to start stressing! My new scan is Monday so I'll know more by then. From what I saw on the screen it looked like 3-4 on each side, though.

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Hi, just a quick one from me as been busy working all evening and need sleep! Scan went well and believe it or not, no cyst! So get to start tabs in the morning. No obvious reason for delayed AF, must have been stress after all.

Next scan on 26th (week thurs) to see if lining is ready. A bit dazed it's happening really as convinced we wouldn't be x

Mo: a woman on this thread (https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/assisted-conception/491023-list-your-ivf-successes-here-145.html) had a beta of 66 at 11dp5dt and it's viable. So, your 30 at 9dp5dt could be too

 

[MoBaby]

Thanks first!! I'll update after my results tomorrow. Probably around 11am.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Ace news, Bumpsparkle.

Rooting for you, Mo!

 

[amoreamy]

Bump that's brilliant news!

And Mo I have my fx'd for you!

xx

 

[star25]

Great news bumpsparkle! If I'm ready tues and your ready thurs we could be around same time for transfers!

Mo, still hoping the best for you

 

[Aurora CHK]

I've called in dick again today - my boss was clearly put out but I am genuinely ill not skiving just cos of ET (although it is a factor as I'm not taking any cold remedies or paracetamol like I usually would with these symptoms). I really hope Flopsy and Mopsy aren't put off or otherwise affected by all the coughing, sneezing, general ill feeling and that at least one if not both will implant. I'm trying to stay really positive as it's what I'm worst at! I WILL have twins this November!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, good luck today. Hope to hear good news soon.

Aurora, remembering my "regular" TTC day. I've heard a lot of women got pregnant easier when they caught cold because your body defense system is lower. So FX for twins!!

Bump and Star, not too long for your transfers now! Woohooo.

BMW, follies #s sound good. Is it more than the last time?

Amorea, cmo, and Mrs W hopefully those follies are growing nicely .

Mrs W, I'm feeling ok. Can't complain much . Busy with closing my house and buying a new one. Busy weekend ahead with picking up things for the new house and kiddiebirthday party. Then next weekend is going to be packing time. Did you sell your house? Or am I mistaken you for someone else

 

[lizzie78]

Bumpsparkle - brilliant result!! Thats you off "pause" on on "go go go" lol.

Aurora - you are doing brilliantly considering how poorly you feel - you will have twins this November and we will be bump buddies - we just have to visualise it. Honestly, I dont think the cold will affect the little ones burying in and as you know after all the lovely comments in your diary in fact having a cold can be a good thing and give flopsy and mopsy a chance to settle in under the radar All that said I really hope you feel better soon x

Mo - keeping everything crossed for your update tomorrow x

I have horribly sore boobs and a splitting headache and am really tired (going to bed straight after dinner at the moment) which are all signs of my AF but I figure I get them before AF because of hormonal changes so this could be a good thing for me - FX'd. Thank god im so busy at work i am still managing to drive myself insane googling stuff. Acupuncture tonight so suspect that will knock me out like a light and give me another good nights sleep

ILT great that everything is going well for you!

Hope everyone else is ok??
