Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[beneathmywing]

Quick update: had another scan today. 13 follies!! 9/10 are 16-18 mm and the others are 12-14. Another scan tomorrow. Eeeek!

That's amazing!!! Low reserve, my elbow! (Not quite the phrase but trying not to swear quite as much!)

LOL i am cracking up on the train ride home.. People probably think I am insane!!!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Haha, well I think Lizzie and I have already decided that we only have one marble left between us so if you want I'm sure you can go in with us and we can do a three-way split, it means only having one marble every third day but we can cope with that, right Lizzie?

 

[Bumpsparkle]

BMW - sounds like EC is only around the corner! And great numbers!

 

[star25]

Great numbers beneath!

Aurora, I agree we should all just live together lol and can all get bfps together!

 

[19yrOldGirl]

Girls I'm trying to catch up after been awol for weeks now, just been trying to spend more me time and us time with the other half, well now husband.

So can a ask if you lovely ladies could give me a brief update.

Iv notices ILT is actually having twins after all. Huge congratulations 😤

 

[beneathmywing]

Mrsw-- can't wait to hear update from you!

Lizzie-- I hope this is your Bfp!! Sorry that nurse wasn't more understanding... Ugh!!

Aurora-- sorry you went through all that yesterday!! 4 is a great number!! Hope they all keep growing nice and strong for you.

Bumpsparkle-- woooo, almost transfer time

Cmo-- I wore a pair jeans today that usually fit me big and they actually almost fit me tight. I was like what is going on?? Actually bought a pair of really comfy sweatpants on the way home from the doctor today and threw them right on when I got to my moms house ha ha Ha. I usually love jeans but nope not right now. So excited tomorrow is retrieval for you. Can't wait to see how many eggies you get!!

Sorry if I missed anyone. I am just exhausted and going to take a nap. Night night!!! Lol

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hi ladies! I've missed so much!

Jaybo - if this cycle fails I think I will make an appointment at the Lister too so you never know, might see you there!! What is your amh level? Don't give up hope lovely, loads of ladies with undetectable levels still produce some eggs and get pregnant. Keep going xx

Nice to hear from you Mo - I'm glad things are moving along for you, each day brings you closer to your bfp I'm sure. Keep us updated.

Amo - you poor thing feeling so poorly and having such an awful experience at your ER, it does sound really traumatic. 4 embryos is brilliant though, well done!!

Bump what time where you there? I don't think I saw anyone as I was in the waiting room about 8.10am then straight to the little ward, into theatre and didn't go back into the waiting room after. I was in a bit of a daze though! Sounds like we were there at the same time as we didn't leave until 10.30am!!

Ilt - ah so have you bought a new build? How exciting! When will it be ready, will you be in when the babies arrive? Will you be finding out the gender?

Cmo good luck for tomorrow! I'm sure you'll get lots of eggs, update us when you feel you can.

Lizzie I agree your test is darker today without even clicking on the pic or zooming in. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you. Keep positive. I didn't know you shouldn't fly in early pregnancy either, sorry about all the stress over your trip.

Star good luck for Monday! And yes the nurses at complete are wonderful!

BMW I'm so glad things are going so so well for you!! If this cycle fails for me I need to pick your brains on your protocol and clinic etc so I can research it for me! Sorry you are so tired, I felt pretty tired on the stims too. Not long to go now.

Aurora how are you doing lovely?

Hi 19!!

As for me...today went well but I didn't rest enough and am shattered. The egg collection was great, I felt a bit woozy after they gave me the sedative and then bam, exactly like a general anaesthetic I was out for the count and don't remember a thing until I was back on the ward. I was very sleepy for a while and kept waking up and asking dh if he had done his sample, going back to sleep and then waking up and asking the same thing! Anyway I had 6-7 follies on Monday and was told to expect half to have eggs and I got 6 eggs!! So I am really pleased with that.

Now we just need to hope they are good quality and are busy fertilising in the lab!!

I should have rested but we went out for breakfast and then went to view a few houses so I am shattered and in quite a lot of pain. Off to bed now. Night all xxx

[19yrOldGirl]

MrsW that is such a great amount of eggs from follies, fingers crossed fertilisation report is just as good. Iv collection for mine next Wednesday I'm hoping for more eggs this time. Only got 2 last time so ended up with no frosties either xx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Mrs W you sweet nutcase going out for brunch and house viewings

Fab to get six eggs, hope you have brill fertilisation too!

:wave: hi 19!

I'm doing well, I haven't bled at all today so that's cheered me and I went to work and even taught my class tonight for the first time in four weeks (although I didn't dance, just instructed). At one point I accidentally/absentmindedly starting demonstrating a belly roll and had to quickly move on! I just don't dare this time. Last two BFPs I performed the same day, but as both failed I just worry (stupidly!) that it might have been a contributing factor, so this time I've taken a hiatus from teaching, studying and performing. I'm going to try to avoid testing tomorrow and just wait to Saturday which will be 16 'dpo' - my big milestone. I've never got there before. Stick with me, Flopsy and/or Mopsy!

 

[beneathmywing]

MrsW -- I am praying this cycle doesn't fail for you, but you can pick my brain whenever you want! lol Glad you got 6 eggs!! I had 6 my first IVF and 4 fertilized. Hope you get a great fert report! Hope you are getting some rest.

Aurora -- Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

 

[star25]

Mrs w thats fantastic news! I had my EC Halloween and managed to stay awake til 9pm for trick or treaters lol

Aurora, ahh I'm keeping everything crossed for flopsy and mopsy, strong little bubbas xx

Bumpsparkle, are you on the crinone now? I worry it's not doing anything and just leaking out lol, I'm too scared to go for a wee in the night and ive got such a weak bladder lol, think this morning I felt a bit crampy though so it must be working! Do you have to take buserelin for transfer day too?
Xx

Amore, well done on the 4 embies! Xx

Cmo, sorry I cant keep up on my phone but good luck for EC, cant wait for more pupo ladies! Xx

19 , hi hope your ok, I'm just waiting for transfer on Monday and I'm glad to say it's going quick! Xx

Mobaby,comfy, first, hope you are all well too xx

( need to read some more....)

 

[star25]

Lizzie, how are things today? hope all's well with little ones

Ilt, still so happy for you and your twins! Explains your early result!

Beneath, sounds like you are doing great, I agree stimming is tiring, rest when you can your body has bbeen hard at work making all those eggies!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks girls! Still feel sore & bruised this morning, how long does it last?

Can't wait for the call!! Praying it's good news.

 

[amoreamy]

That's fabulous Mrs W! Try and rest and take it steady I had mine Wednesday and it loosened up over the day. I had some pain killers right at the end of the day as I did a bit too much. It was just surprised how distended my tummy is!

Cmo very good luck today!

Aurora, I'm very excited for you !!

Thanks star, not long now! Eek!

Hi 19! Hope you're going okay

The doctor just rang so I need to get cracking! Hi to everyone! Looks like it's transfer day!!!!

 

[19yrOldGirl]

Star yey for transfer!! Girls this thread has moved so quickly going to be lots of BFPS.
Amoreamy yey for transfer near the 2ww now, exciting times xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hi ladies, I've had the call and of my 6 eggs only 2 fertilised I'm feeling really gutted. I know everyone will say I only need one but obviously it's much more touch and go about whether we will get to transfer now we only have 2 to rely on.

She said of the 6, 1 was immature, 2 were not proper eggs there was something very wrong with them so none of those would ever have had a chance of fertilising and 1 was normal and mature but just didn't fertilise. I asked about quality and she said it was too early to say but that one had inclusions which would lead her to believe the other one is better quality.

Transfer booked for Sunday morning. Please please keep growing 2 little embies. Keep your fingers, toes and all other crossables crossed for me girls, I need them xx

 

[star25]

Mrs w, sorry your disappointed, I have every faith that your embies will stay strong, they are well looked after and will cross everything for you that theyre back with you Sunday, what day transfer will that be? Xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks star. 3 day. I don't know how many embies usually make it to day 3/5 so out of 2 how likely it is that ill have any left. I'm dreading a call to say they didn't make it

 

[lizzie78]

Oh my goodness look what I miss when I have to work.

BMW - amazing scan news. Good luck for scan today but it sounds like things are going brilliantly.

Aurora is right we are both marbleless at the moment so more than happy to share someone else's remaining one on a timeshare basis!

CMO - is it retrieval day today? Hope everything goes well and looking forward to hearing how many they get x

19 - my update is that Im testing bfp but with not very strong lines so cautiously pg but not moving on as yet

Mrs W - 6 eggs is eggcellent Ha ha you soudn like me with the sedation I loved it and being so snoozy although I felt hungover afterwards. So sorry you are still in pain. I was told to take co-codomol and to use a heat pack until the pain subsided (at least before ET but not afterwards obviously) so maybe its worth checking with your clinic? Just seen your update and can undertand why you would feel sad, and yes we will all tell you that it is perfectly possible to still get your bfp but you will still feel terrified and i get that. Keeping everything crossed that you have two little fighters who will keep going ready to come back to you on Sunday. Concentrate on getting well ready for transfer so that you can give them a safe home when they come back x

Aurora - I'm rooting for flopsy and mopsy and hoping that you still egt your beautiful bfp on Monday xxx

Star what is the crinone - is it a different type of progesterone pessary? I panicked that I seem to be leaking more than usual and actually rang the nurses earlier this week feeling like a right loon lol. The nurse told me its all normal and she had been asked it before. Just goes to show you what a glamorous job it is workign at an ivf clinic!

Amoreamy - Transfer day! Whoop you'll be PUPO soon How many are you transferring?

ILT how are you and the twins (he he he I love saying that!)?

Sorry to anyone I missed! Nothing new from me really, had quite strong symptoms last night so was reassured but feeling better after acupuncture last night so ironically trying not to panic now ha ha. Not going to test again any time soon but might do some ICs late next week if I'ms till not bleeding. Otherwise I'm going to try and believe that I have a sticky bean or two on board. Heres hoping their heart(s) start beating on Sunday like they are supposed to.
