Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[CMo]

UK ladies how are your clinics testing you ? Just poas?? Mine do a blood test to confirm either way xx

 

[Jaybo]

Hi girls,

Aurora - sorry your going through all this uncertainty. But looking at your test your definitely not out, they don't look like they're getting any lighter and your not bleeding any more, so hang in there hon... and maybe get some crappies! I've got everything still tightly crossed for you.

Mo - good to hear from you. Hope you're doing ok. x

Amore - well done for making it through EC, hope you're feeling ok. 9 is a lovely solid number, you only need one good one!

Lizzy - glad your test was good today. I really think maybe you've hit as dark as they'll be for you. I was supprised when I tested the morning after the trigger (yes I'm a loon!) that the line still was not as dark as the control line despite 10,000 iu of meds!! FX for otd.

ILT - any news on the scan? I get lost with the time difference here!

CMo - good luck with trigger & EC, your numbers sound good. My clinic don't do betas either, i think its unusual in the uk. Seems like it would solve a lot of uncertainty.

Sorry if i missed anyone I'm on my phone and scared to scroll back!

AFM - my wtf appointment was as expected - ok but frustratingly vague and lacking in answers. She seemed encouraged that my one embryo was top grade, but said our chances of sucess in the future are still low - due to stupidly low amh. In good news DH motility was 30% (past tests consistently 4%) which I thought was amazing and due to the wonderful concoction of vitamins I've had him on, but she thought was just normal variation. Blah!! Sorry I'm rambling now, probably because I've had a glass of wine!

Amore, well done! 9 is fab xx

Lizzie, sounding great for you!

My clinic does blood test on otd but I'll probably poas before then, they just do 1 blood teat then scan at 7 week's

Jaybo, still waiting for the appointment time so far . Sorry to hear the result of the wtf appt. Are you still going to shop around for a new RE? Did you guys talk about the next step? Sorry for being curious here.

I'll have to update in 5 hours since I have no cellphone today and will definitely face the San Francisco area commuting traffic. So should have an update by the time the ladies in the UK wake up in the morning .

 

[Jaybo]

Thanks ILT, I think we're still going to look around and attend a few consultations and see if we can find some hope outside of the NHS. If they all say there's no hope then we'll probably rethink before throwing our life savings at it!!

Looking forward to reading your update in the morning when I'm on the tube! xx

Aurora -- Keeping my fx for you, hun!! I don't think the tests are necessarily getting lighting.

Mo -- Nice to hear from you. Hope you are doing okay!!

Amore -- Wrote to you in the other thread, but glad it went well today! 9 eggs is great!

ILT -- Yay for the new house! Can't wait to hear about your scan xxx

Cmo -- Yay for ER soon! Sounds like you will have a great number of follies.

Lizzie -- OTD for you tomorrow!!!! Fx for you!


AFM: I've been really tired the past few days and my ovaries ache! Anyone else feel this while stimming? Like if I walk or walk up the stairs, I actually feel pressure. Hope this is good sign!!

 

[beneathmywing]

Jaybo -- Sorry you didn't leave your WTF appointment feeling hopeful. I swear these doctors don't know how we really feel!! Great news about DH's motility, though! I hope you schedule some consults elsewhere and get some hope back xxx

 

[lizzie78]

Jaybo I'd say you deserve at least another glass of wine on wtf appointment day. Thanks for your comments when you have your own emotions to deal with its appreciated.

ILT nooooooo I have to wait until the morning?! Lol I shall try to check in before my commute or from a traffic jam if that doesn't work out

Thanks bmw and star xxxx

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How freaking exciting! TWINS!! AHHH!!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

We are still in shock. 2 weeks ago we only saw 1 heartbeat and 1 baby. My RE thought that they were in front of each other And that's why the other one didn't get detected. Identical twins! Holy cow.

 

[Jaybo]

Woohooo... Twins?! Identical!? Wasn't expecting that! Such amazing news, congratulations ILT so happy for you xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

OMG!!!!!! Huge congrats ILT that's fantastic news!! You must be on top of the world right now! So happy for you!

Ill do a proper update and reply to everyone later but just on the way to my egg retrieval!! Hoping for some good quality ones even though I know there won't be many in quantity. Had to get up at 5.30am to drop my dd at my friends and get on the road with dh, feeling thirsty!!

Will respond to everyone personally later on xxx

 

[Jaybo]

Good luck MrsW! Fingers crossed for some juicy eggs! xx

 

[Comfycushions]

Ilt, omg!!!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Amore, congrats on the 9. Looking forward to a great fert report.

Mrs w good luck this morning.

cmo, good luck tomorrow.

Lizzie good luck today.

Aurora still rooting for you.

BMW, getting there!

Star is transfer imminent or did I miss it? Good luck.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Oh my gosh!!! Amazing!!! Congratulations

 

[amoreamy]

TWINS!!!!! Ilt HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!! Amazing news! I think that'll take a while sink in!

 

[lizzie78]

Very quick update as my boss wont leave his desk for long!!

Mrs W - best of luck today!

ILT oh my goodness what amazing news, I'm so happy for you all.

Did my many tests this morning. Got a positive on my Clinic HPT although it was faint. Got positives with clear blue and clearblue conception indicator although that only said 1-2 weeks not 2-3 like it should so still worried by that. Also got positive on FRER and it looks darker than the last two I think so maybe I did have a dodgy batch. I feel a long way away from being out of the woods but I have believed it enough to call my clinic and am waiting for them to call me back. Will uplaod the FRER pic in a second, today's is the bottom one. I'm hoping that Jaybo is right and this is just as dark as my tests are going to get. wish my mum was still alive so I could ask her what hers were like to see if its genetic lol.

 

[star25]

Omg ilt!!! So so happy for you, what an update, I dreamt I had identical twin girls last night so maybe I subconsciously knew and was thinking of you!!

Beneath, I felt like the whole time stimming, was so relieved after EC lol

Comfy, my transfer is Mon and this week is flying by yay!

Jaybo, hope you find somewhere that suits you soon, thats great news about motility I was always excited when dhs went up as he has am undecended testicle

Lizzie you still have a bfp there, I know your being cautious but it's looking hood, do you have a blood test?

Mrs w, good luck today, sure all the lovely nurses will look after you, I had to get up at 5am for mine to get the 6am ferry, know how you feel was so glad of the cup of tea after!

Hello to everyone else, just a quickie as got to walk dog before vets

 

[Jaybo]

Lizzy I can see progression there on todays even without zooming or holding it to the light! I really hope this is your sticky bean. Hopefully your clinic will come back soon with an appointment.
