Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[amoreamy]

You're the best everyone!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, really really hoping that your level will double on Wed!

Comfy, I still do TP check whenever I go to the bathroom! Not sure when it'll stop lol. Glad to hear that the cramp has stopped. Hopefully, it's implantation bleeding .

 

[MoBaby]

I tp checked my entire pregnancy lol! The worrying doesnt stop

Morning ladies! Sorry to be a hit MIA yesterday - I was back at work after my week off.

I'm sending hopeful BFP vibes to all of you awaiting news or clarity here, many healthy fat follies to stimming ladies, sticky thick linings to those in need of those, and much love to those either further along the road or earlier!

I've got my 5 day transfer today. However I've woken up with a REALLY sore, lumpy throat. I was sneezing a lot yesterday but thought it was environmental (so did all the cleaning to make sure no more sneezing once embies are in). I also had a headache but thought it was cos I cut out caffeine yesterday in preparation too. I can't believe it. It's feeling just like a virus. If I get ill today... Eg my immune system kicks in, increasing my temp, fighting off seeming 'intruders', making me violently cough and sneeze... All terrible news for my embies. Argh I'm just so annoyed! It's always bloody something! This cycle has just thrown curve ball after curve ball at me

Trying not to overreact but feeling so worried - again.

Hope you all have a more relaxing start to your day!

 

[amoreamy]

Aurora, I would talk to you clinic today and see what they think. I know it's infuriating but they will hopefully be able to reassure you, or help in some way.

I've woken up with pain in my ovaries, particularly my right. I'm starting to believe something is actually happening in there now! Is pain normal? x

 

[star25]

Amore, I had pain on and off when stimming, always got it when I sat down like a shooting pain going upwards, I hope your feeling better today, it's normal to feel all sorts through this, glad your bloods were all good though!

Mo, still keeping everything crossed for you and that next bloods bring good news

Bumpsparkle, how annoying they are saying to wait, maybe it's because you have af symptoms they think it might arrive naturally

Comfy, stay positive, hope you are feeling better today and otd brings good news

Hello to everyone else, just woke up so not quite with it yet!

Thank you for your words of encouragement about my lining, I was disappointed yesterday as really wanted a date for transfer set, also slightly panicking that lining wont be thick enough next week and they will have to cancel but you've made me feel better and the nurse didnt seemed concerned so have to hope all will be ok

 

[amoreamy]

Star, next week that lining will be perfect and you'll be perfectly pupo!!

 

[star25]

Thank you amore!

Sorry aurora didnt see your post, how frustrating you feel like this, have you spoke to clinic for reassurance? When I cut out the caffeine I felt awful for a week really thought my head was going to explode so that probably isnt helping you, the only thing tbat will get rod tbat headache is caffeine so
Might be worth having a cuppa, I tried painkillers but nothing would budge it so I suffered ot for a week but you dont want to be in pain for your transfer day xx

 

[Comfycushions]

Aurora sorry to hear you're feeling ill. Hope it all goes well today.xx

Star only one week to go!

Afm struggling to stay hopeful. Nothing going on today good or bad. Only two days to go to otd.

 

[Comfycushions]

Amore don't know if you need to worry about the pain. I just felt heavy in that area and as if my ovaries were banging about when I walked! I hardly made any eggs though so perhaps some pain is just because you're growing loads of lovely follicles.

 

[CMo]

Hey ladies

The caffeine withdrawal is a nightmare. I cut out caffeine back in November but remember having a headache for about a week!

Went for my scan this morning after 5 days of stimms. Follicles are still pretty small, about 8mm just now and they want them to be high teens. Do you think this means in not responding? They didn't seem overly concerned and haven't increased my dose. They just said they'll see how things look on Friday at my next scan. Feeling slightly worried now!

 

[Comfycushions]

Cmo I don't think it means you're not responding because your follicles have been growing. They will quite probably have had a great growth spurt by the time of your next scan. 5 days is still early, you've got loads of time. You're getting there.

 

[star25]

I agree with comfy, it's only been 5 days and they've adjusted your dose so you'll probably see a growth spurt come Friday xx

 

[lizzie78]

Comfy - i really feel for you, TWW is awful Like Star says I'm hoping that OTD brings better news for you and that maybe you just have a late implantation.

Aurora - hoping you are ahem! On the table as I type. I cant remember whether you are having 1 or 2 blasts put back?

Only a quick update as i'm at work and its tricky. Not much to report from me, my positivity is fading as I feel just like I do the week before AF is due which i guess she is. TMI warning - I bumped my cervix with the stupid pessary applicators last night so it must be low which it wouldn't be if I was pregnant so that made me sad. Not completely lost the faith but i think self protection is starting to kick in a bit. Argh stupid tww. xxx

 

[star25]

Hoping your wrong lizzie,ive never had a ivf 2ww bit can imagine it must be the hardest ever and emotions will be up and down like a yoyo, doesn't mean your out though, stay strong!

 

[MoBaby]

Lizzie cervix doesnt change position this early on... You may still be okay. I don't think cervix is a reliable indicator of pregnancy.

Cmo: 5 days of stims and at 8mm sounds okay to me. If you go 5 more days they will grow 10-15 mm more. My first 3 cycles I took stims for 10 days.

 

[beneathmywing]

Ladies, I get to join the stimming party! Af is here!!!

 

[Aurora CHK]

CMo, I had two at 8mm on day 9 of stims, which both matured by time of EC so don't worry

I just read back three pages and was full of things to say to everyone but now my silly brain has forgotten it all

Basically, sending big love hugs and virtual wine to everyone!

Lizzie, will get on your journal after lunch but just for now to say stay strong, try not to fortune-tell and give yourself a big hug from me.

I'm finally PUPO! With two (count 'em) grade b blasts. Sadly Cottontail stopped progressing on Sunday, so no frosties again, but it was definitely the right decision to delay transfer as we might have popped Cottontail back rather than Flopsy and Mopsy.
I won't bore you all with the long story but suffice to say it was another ridiculous faff today and my transfer was an hour and a quarter late - not good with a full bladder and a substitute acupuncturist

Done now though and my bunnies are on board

 

[lizzie78]

BMW - oh my goodness lol thank goodness for that and yay to stimming!!

Thanks Mo and Star x

Aurora WTF an hour and a half?! I'd have throttled someone with a full bladder all that time. That said I'm thrilled you have your two little blasts on board Great grades too, I guess thats the equivalent of my little grade 2 embies but yours are older (in a good way!). Welcome to the madness of the tww

 

[MoBaby]

Aurora that's fantastic!! Hope they are snuggling in.
Sorry you had to sit with a full bladder that's awful. So happy you have 2 blasts on board!
BMW! Yay for af!! Get your stims on.
