Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[star25]

Sorry beneath, hopefully you will feel better if you can get a good nights sleep xx

Bumpsparkle ive got 5 cheapies and 4 frers, I was thinking about starting with the cheapies sat or sun, I like the thought of being pupo longer but weds wont actually be that long away anyway so bit unsure, when it comes to it ill probably be too scared to even test on otd!

Thanks. I hope so.

Hey ladies I've just checked my sheet from clinic and to add to the drama that is my life my OTD is Friday 13th!! What's the chances!! Safe to say I'll probably test the day before!

I'm still feeling a little sore from EC on fri. Did anyone else have this for a few days?
Hoping my embabies are still doing well, amazing how u feel about them already eh?

Mrs w congrats on being pupo.

Amore when is your transfer day? Did I miss it? X

 

[Aurora CHK]

Congratulations on being PUPO with your precious embaby, mrs w!

Hope you feel better soon, BMW Exciting to have triggered!

What a PUPO party this thread is/will be!

 

[star25]

[star25]

Bump haha secret tests. Dh still has no idea how many I've already taken or how many more I will probably take. Some things are best not shared I think!

Star, I think you are like me with the testing. I started testing at 7dp3dt to prepare myself but just remember that is way early so a negative can totally turn out to be a positive especially with the ICs. The only reason I'm not testing at the minute is because I'm scared of how faint my lines would still be on the ICs xxx

Mrs w congrats on being PUPO! It's one of the most amazing things after all we go through to get to that milestone.

Aurora - glad our remaining marble seems to be still intact, are you testing tomorrow on otd? If it's the same as my clinic I have to call on otd and report positive or negative and then they schedule your scan.

How's everyone else doing?

Mild panic today as I'm trying so hard to be spot on with all my medication so that I don't cause anything to go wrong. I do my pessaries at 10am and 10 pm as usually I'm in the office and can sit down straight after and at night I go to bed and don't get back up. Have a stupid site visit with a load of contractors in Southampton tomorrow at 10:30 so stressing about doing the pessary and then sitting down for half an hour. I'm going to see whether I can find a McDonald's or something nearby and get ther early. If I do it 20 minutes ewrly I think that will be ok?

Xxx

 

[star25]

I think you will be fine lizzie, I know I worry about it leaking out but of there was a worry of this our clinics would have told us to be careful, if you can find somewhere to sit for a while then do ot for your own peace of mind, everythings such a worry isnt it xxx

 

[star25]

Lizzie what day did you start testing this cycle? X

 

[lizzie78]

Star 7dp3dt which had nothing on an IC but a very very very faint shadow on a frer. I think aurora tested at her equivalent of 5dp5dt and got a much more obvious line. I'm not sure how much difference me being a FET or a 3dt makes xxx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Lizzie, I don't do mine every 12 hours, just before and after bed - I think it's ok to be a bit vague as to when as long as it's twice a day? Also if I'm on the go then taking then rectally us much more convenient, everything stays in there until next BM so a) no loss of any hormone before it's fully absorbed and b) no drippage in undies etc

 

[Mrs W 11]

Is anyone having time off after et to relax? Any plans after to try and help things along? I guess my embryo wouldn't even be a blast until Tuesday so the earliest for implantation would be Wednesday. Is resting before then going to make much difference do you think? X

 

[Aurora CHK]

CMo, I didn't test 5dp5dt this time but did last time and got faint BFP. This time I did on 6dp5dt (cos of the bleeding) and got very clear positive. I hadn't tested out my trigger but last time trigger was gone by 4dp5dt, it might vary though? I had 10,000 pregnyl which has average of ten day to leave system from trigger date (not EC date).

I wouldn't have thought so mrs W, but I wouldn't want to say. My clinic say there's no point in havin any rest at all and that actually there's some evidence that normal activity helps them implant more than rest does After my first cycle I went back to work straight after transfer, carried on as normal that week. This cycle cos of my cold I spent rest of transfer day in bed and the next two days too. Got BFP for both cycles! Last one didn't make it, obvs, but that's for other reasons xxx

 

[star25]

Mrs w, im taking 2 weeks off but thats just because of my job and ive got hol to use before April, been saving it for ages! I think you should be fine if you just take it easy and dont do anything strenuous

Lizzie, thank you for that, I might start testing sat I think just cos I got enough tests lol

 

[Mrs W 11]

I think if I had 2 weeks off I'd go google crazy! I already can't think about what my embie is doing in there, is it still ok and still dividing, how many cells is it today etc!! I have a desk job so just sitting down anyway.

I think I might take mon and tues off to chill out and watch DVDs and go back Wednesday.

Also lizzie my clinic told me my progesterone didn't need to be evenly spaced or exact times as long as I did the 3 a day. They said if lunch time was too tricky because of ring at work, it was fine to do morning, when I got in from work and bedtime. So I wouldn't think half an hour would make any difference. Xx

Xxx

Sorry, I missed this (must have been your turn with the marble). I'm gonna call them tomo with the positive result, but don't think I'll test again, or if I do it will be with a whole new brand so I can't do any scary-compary!

 

[lizzie78]

Mrs W one interesting thing i did read that I've done differently this time but without meaning to is that almond milk is good for helping implantation. It may be hicks locus but i had already switched from cows milk to almond milk just for me, who knows maybe it did help. I had 2 weeks off more or less last time and actually it was too long for me although having no time off this time around wasn't great either lol. I think we all have to find what works for us and our circumstances. I'm not in a physically demanding job so don't need the whole two off but i drag a heavy bag quite a distance very day so for me I had to find a way around that as it was a concern.

Thanks everyone, have found a sainsburys nearby so will get there and do them early then sit in the car for half an hour. Feel better now I've heard that all of you have been given slightly more relaxed timetables around the horrid things

Aurora scary compary lol - sounds like a good plan!

Happy weekend everyone, I'm off to hide in my little room as i'm horrid today. Have realised though that i am still on all my ivf meds so i'm trying to cut myself some slack about not necessarily being a little ray of sunshine ALL the time. Some time curled up with a book and without men will hopefully cure me Not hearing much from minnie or mo so hoping everything is still ok in there. Just for future reference for all our pupo or soon to be pupo ladies the most unexpected symptom i have had so far is my skin totally drying out. I have had to switch to more hydrating body and face cream xxx

Lizzie i LOVE your ticker!!!!

I've got the next 3 weeks off work. Only as my job is really heavy and I had left over annual leave which has to be used by the end of march. Gonna drive myself crazy during tww!! Any advice on exercise?? I normally run 3-4 times weekly so obviously that's out of the question but how about walking? I'm feeling so fat and bloated just now, and can't wear my jeans cos there 2 tight! Just had to go and buy a pair of jeggings in a bigger size! I'm desperate for a run!

Also any thoughts on eating pineapple to help implantation?

ILT do you still have the time scale of what should be happening each day post transfer? I'm sure it was you that posted it xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

I've just bought a pineapple!! X
