Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[lizzie78]

Ok that all makes sense but remember my lines arent darkening either but they are staying the same (touch wood) so maybe this is as dark as your tests go. My sister gave me a dose of common sense when she told me my tests are darker than hers ever got and she has had two successful pregnancies. How light are they? Nightmare waiting time for you chick, i'll see what I can find that might help xxx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Thanks honey. Mine are lightening, I think, and aren't very dark (not like control line or anything like it!). Will try to upload pic if nobody minds?
Also looking forward to hearing everyone else's updates!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Here are my tests, definitely no progression and probably gently lightening...

Hi guys I've been readin from a distance.

Aurora your test look darker from 11dpo to 13dpo so you never know. Don't stop any meds until OTD/hcg levels dropping. You may have a successful baby in there. Maybe both implanted then one stopped growing leading to the lines staying same.
Lizzie congrats on bfp. Can't wait to here your results.

Good luck to everyone else stunning/having ultrasound, etc
I'm waiting to schedule my hysteroscopy and scratch biopsy which should be in a couple weeks. I may call today to see if they have the order yet from my dr.

Quick reply since I need to get ready for work.

Lizzie, I've heard that some ladies have spotting while on progesterone pessaries. It can irritate tge cervix. Plus, mmmm...I didn't see your line lightening at all! I think they are actually darkening. It's not very obvious but I can see a smidgen of it. .

Mo, hi :wave:. Hope you are doing well.

 

[star25]

Good to hear from you mobaby, glad things are progressing for you

Aurora, sorry I cant really help as dont have experience with positives, have you spoke to clinic? Hope it is breakthrough bleeding though or from progesterone, when is otd again?

 

[BethK]

Aurora have you tried another test?

I used FRER and internet cheapies. the FRER didn't get much darker, not until about a week after OTD.

The internet cheapies were much easier to see progression.

 

[amoreamy]

Aurora, i can see it and I'm just on my phone and can't zoom in or anything. I can see a small progression. The bleeding that you've had sounds perfectly standard to me, it just sounds like spotting, which although distressing is very normal. Eek!

Mo and beth hi!

As for me! Retrieval went well, pretty painful. But the important bit is they got 9 eggs. The staff were so nice though, we couldn't ask for more. I don't know how I feel about 9 eggs though.

Hi everyone can't wait to hear about everyone's news xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mrs W., we got our new house . Just waiting for it to finish building in May. In the mean time, we'll be staying w/ MIL .

Lizzie, did you test today?

 

[Aurora CHK]

Thanks gals. I tested today with a digi (says pregnant 1-2 weeks) but obvs no progression with those other than by week! I don't really have any crappies I don't think (haha, I typed cheapies and it autocorrected to crappies). I'll go on a hunt. Might have just bought another four FRERs...

I have to say, sorry for Tmi, but it's not so much bleeding as 'shedding' - it's almost fibrous maybe that's from the Clexane? I'm using the pessaries not-vaginally but 'the other way' as I ruined all my underwear with the wax last time, so guess that means it's not cervical irritation?

 

[Aurora CHK]

Mo, great to hear from you! Thank you

ILT when is scan, wasn't that today? Hope everything's perfect!

Amoreamy, hope you're ok, 9 sounds good, will they call today or tomorrow with the fert report?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Amor, I think 9 is an really good number! You'll have plenty of eggs to fertilized .

Aurora, yes. Scan is later today. I wonder if your bleeding could be implantation bleeding orrrr...maybe both of them implanted but one didn't make it. Because I also had 2 but I think 1 didn't implant so it just got absorbed back to my body. But if both of yours implanted but 1 didn't make it, I'd think it makes sense to have some bleeding, no? I think this is your rainbow baby Aurora!!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Good luck for your scan! I really really hope you could be right but I must admit I don't really believe it - but miracles do happen!

 

[CMo]

Amore 9 eggs is fantastic! How are you feeling? Do you remember any of it?

ILT how are you? How did your scan go?

Hi to everyone

Afm I'm booked in for egg collection on Friday @10! Trigger tonight at 11 pm (way past my bed time just now lol). I had about 15 follicles (I think) some are about 24mm so probably too mature and a few smaller ones which hopefully have a wee growth spurt so fingers crossed I get a good few eggs. I'd love to get 10 but that's very optimistic of me. Just need to wait and see now xx

 

[lizzie78]

Amore - brilliant number of eggs collected! Fingers crossed for your fert report tomorrow.

CMo - good luck for trigger if you stay awake that long lol maybe DH could just stick you with it whilst you snooze away?!

ILT - any update yet? I hate that you are on a different time to me! I did test again and its the same as yesterday. I deliberately used the other test from the same box so i guess its good that it isnt lighter. OTD tomorrow.

Aurora - keep the faith honeybun. If you lose it that means I lose it too

Mo - lovely to hear from you. Not sure it is a bfp, still worried that its a chemical or even that the clinic pee stick will be negative in the morning. x

 

[MoBaby]

How was your test today? Do they not do betas?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Hi Ladies,

Scan is not until 3pm and it's currently 10:37 am. Long day ahead . Can't concentrate at work. I probably won't get to update until later tonight because I forgot my phone! I hate it when I do that. I feel a little...naked without my phone haahhaha.

Cmo, sounds like you'll have a few eggs waiting! woohoo..

Lizzie, looking forward to your OTD tomorrow. I think the most important one after the first one is the second blood test to make sure the HCG double. So, FX everything will be alright .

Aurora, when is OTD?

 

[lizzie78]

Mo, ilt no betas at my clinic just another pee stick

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Lizzie, sorry to hear that. That sounds a bit frustrating. Well...I guess we can keep squinting at pee sticks then .

 

[Aurora CHK]

No betas at mine either. Just POAS and ring them. Bit rubbish really. Do any uk places do beta tests? My otd is Monday.
