Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[star25]

Mobaby, yay for your 9! You would probably feel quite ill with 35 so better quality than quantity, youve done good!

Ilt, you must be so excited! I think it's too late to take tabs as will probably delay it more, boobs been hurting 7 days now so should be here by Fri, I'm just bbeen impatient!

 

[star25]

Comfy, good luck, it's absolutely fine xx

 

[MoBaby]

Star you are right. Quality is better. I'd rather have 4 really good ones than 10 okay ones. Goal is to get 10-15 usually without hyper stimulating the patient and that's just what they did update Thursday to if 3 or 5 day, looking like Saturday now.

Star, really hope af shows for you soon!!!!! What is the process with FET when AF shows?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Star, it still hasn't sunk in yet. Maybe when all I can see is my stomach, I'd feel a bit more excited. . FX AF shows up soon!

Hi Ladies. Hope everyones well. Sorry I havent been on in a few days but have been thinking about you all. I had my 5dt on Monday; 1 eggie put in and 5 frozen. I know I shouldnt be but im starting to think already about when I might test. The clinic gave me 15th Feb as my home pregnancy test day but that seems like a long time to me-13dp5dt?

Jaybo-do you know when you might test/ Where you given a date?

ILT-did you have any symptoms or signs good things were happening before testing?

Comfy-good luck with the transfer. Hope it goes well for you

Mo-9 is a good number. Hope they all progress nicely for you

Hope everyone else is doing good

Libby, my biggest sign was cramps. It was pretty light on day2 and day 3 but it lasted the whole day on and off. Then on day 4, I felt sharp pain. Remember the pain you got when you first inserted the needle? Similar to that. It lasted a minute or two. The cramps felt like it was coming from the middle of your body, below your belly button and on top of your vagina. I also remember having a high body temp especially at night. It felt like a fever and started at day 3. I still have it on and off now . I only sleep with a flat sheet and coverlet and current house temp at night is 68 farenheit. And I think that's about it. I'll write more if I remember anything else.

Libby, my OTD was 9dp5dt. Maybe your clinic was trying to be on the safe side in case of late implantation. Sorry if some of it doesn't make sense. I'm having a hard time staying awake past 7:30. Tonight I lasted until 7:45 & fell asleep on the couch. Hubby just woke me up and first thing I do is to check on BnB. I understand how nerve wracking this whole process and hopefully that helps. btw, I never had any implantation bleeding....until today so don't worry if you don't have 1.

Hey Libby, nice to hear from you, I was wondering how your trasfer went - glad it went well. Congrats on being pupo. That's great news that you've got 5 frosties. FX for you!

My OTD is the 14th. I can't quite decide what to do about testing. This sounds a bit daft but I feel like I will know in my heart long before the 14th whether it's worked or not, so I'm just going to take each day as it comes and if I have reason to test before then I will. If not I'm planning on trying to wait until my OTD. I tested yesterday to check if the trigger was out of my system, and it was, but even still the BFN upset me!!

ILT - I've been having cramping since the transfer but it's been getting worse. I assumed it was the evil cyclogest, b/c I'm too early for any real symptoms. Did yours only start on 2/3dpt?

 

[star25]

Congratulations on being pupo Libby and the frosties!

Beneath, protocol is day 1-3 baseline scan, then start estrogen tablets, go back day 10-12 for scan to check lining and make sure no sign of ovulation, if all ok arrange day for transfer, if lining not ready carry on with tablets for few more days and re check with another scan until ready
Also start progesterone and have injecton of buserelin day of transfer
Just hope it all works!
Also have to continue with progesterone and estogen for a fee wks if bfp but cant remember how many xx

 

[Comfycushions]

I survived, got really anxious and upset waiting but at least it's all over now.

Got 4 eggs. Upset and disappointed. Home and in bed. Perhaps I'll wake up in a few hours and the past few years will have just been a dream and we're not infertile after all.

 

[MoBaby]

Libby awesome results you froze 5! How many did you have that fertilized? Congrats on pupo!!

Comfy: fx all 4 fertilize and grow strong! You are not out yet.

Jaybo cramping is a good sign. Mine started at 2-3 days past transfer with my ds.

 

[star25]

Comfy, dont be disappointed, you have every chance, ive seen so many ladies on here with bfps who had even 2 eggs, dont give up. Hope xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Comfy, 4 is a good #. I understand that you want more but don't give up on them yet.

Jaybo, now that I am awake . I did have light cramps since transfer day. Inever have period cramps in my whole life so not really sure how to describe it. It wasn't painful but uncomfortable was more like it. You are 4dpt so I'm thinking that the blasty is starting to attach on the uterine wall. sometimes it fel like someone is pinching you using their nails. Not for a long time though. I was disappointed when I tested on 3dpt and got a BFN to be honest. I think in our brains we knew that it would be impossible to see a double line since it was super early. Bu, in our hearts, we wished to be the different one. So don't worry Jaybo, so far symptom sounds good! If you want to test early, I'll be happy to squint together with you

Star, stupid AF better shows up soon. I think it's time to make DH work abit. BD times! Lol. I was told to continue PIO shots till 10 weeks switch to pills progesterone for another 30 days.

Hope everyone else is well.

 

[star25]

Haha ilt, already tried that this morning, gor a feeling it will be Fri or sat now, such a pain I just want to start!

 

[FirstTry]

Congrats, Comfy! I'm sorry that you didn't get more eggs. I hope they all fertilize and grow. It really only takes one. Quality is most important. I'll be crossing my fingers for you

 

[FirstTry]

Libby: congrats on transfer! And s!

I'm glad to find another early POASer. I got a squinter on 3dp5dt with my DS. But I also got a BFP on 4dp5dt with my miscarriage. So, an early BFP is no guarantee of success, but it's a possibility!

I think our clinics tell us to test so late in order to avoid the heartbreak of chemical pregnancy. But I'd rather know that it implanted, just as a data point about how well my lining/uterus works.

If you do test early, FRER (First Response Early Results) is the most sensitive test I know of. Good luck!

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Star - I'm due AF on Sat so sounds like we could be in the clinic for our FET's at the same time lol, providing my stupid cyst has gone! x

 

[FirstTry]

Bump and Star: how long after AF is your transfer? I'm scheduled for March 4 xfer.

 

[beneathmywing]

Libby -- Congrats on being PUPO and on the five frosties!!

Star -- Fx for you!!! Hope damn af shows soon so you can get the ball rolling!!

Comfy -- Don't lose hope!!! 4 is still a good number

ILT -- One more week for you now?! I am even counting down for you

Bumpsparkle -- FX for you, hun. Hope that cyst is no where to be seen!!!!


Hope you girls have a fab day xx
