Ladies doing IUI or IVF - 2016 (11 BFPs so far!)

[hopefulmum2014]

That must not have come up in my google search lol, all my drinks were cold.
And thank you! yes I'm having identical twins, we only transferred one egg back.

Awww really pleased for you and thank you for responding with your advice xxx

With first IVF I had day 3, with this one I had day 5. They gave us the choice of one or two. We were private and they do tend to give more choice, are you private or NHS? You could always ask them xx

Thank you for replying Lisey. I am private too. The plan was for me to hopefully have a 5 day transfer but now with the low fertilisation I am worried I won't get to day 5. Do you mind me asking why you had day 3 the first time and how many eggs the first time?

As we are both unexplaiined as partner has great semen and previous children and I have reg periods, had all the checks tubes everything and all working well, I guess when trying to be positive it's good to know it's the fertilisation that is likely thea problem they recommend ICIS next time xxx

We got 11 first time and 5 fertilised. We had a day 3 as only had 2 developing well. We did get pregnant but miscarried at 12 weeks sadly.
In regards to what to do after, I had acupuncture and followed the ideas of Chinese medicine, warm foods and drinks, keep feet warm and stomach. Not too much milk as makes womb 'damp'.I wouldn't have had drinks at room temp, still had drinks from fridge but wouldn't of had a milkshake or iced drink etc. Showers rather than hot baths too.
They are being presumtuiois to say icsi next time, you may not need a next time. I was told I had a less than 20% chance of even getting to the fertilisation stage and got pregnant both times, some people get 20 fertilised eggs and don't get pregnant from it, you just don't know, they base it on stats but that's all it is, statistics.
Wishing you the best of luck and congrats Mrs law xx

Thanks Lisey, what are your thoughts on pineapple? I see there are mixed opinions online.
I have been so bloated since taking the progesterone, my tummy feels so tight, I am changing to eating little & often from today so hopefully that will help as usually I am rushing around busy then starving so eat big meals.

 

[lisey]

I avoided pineapple for entire pregnancy as read it can cause uterine contractions, may be a little over the top on my part but after 4 losses I was very cautious.
When is transfer? How many days has it been now? Xx

Tinselcat === So sorry to hear that... It's my first time for ivf so i thought 10 is kinda of less after 26 is retrieved... I am somehow quite pleased with it now after hearing many stories and research on the internet... Thanks...

Mrs Law === 45??? Wow that's a lot.... Are you in pain after retrieval process ?? I am so much in pain so doctor suggest me to rest and frozen all my embies to transfer in sep... By the way congrats to your twinies...

Hopefulmum === When are you transferring??? Pls Avoid Pineapple...

 

[hopefulmum2014]

I had day 5 transfer today, out of the six that fertilised, four were top grade which they call grade A, so I have had one put back in, the other 3 will be frozen and they will let me know tomorrow about the other two. Went for a nice lunch after, then came home and had a sleep which is very unlike me - sleeping in the day, just feel relieved to have got this far I think xxx

 

[lisey]

Wow that is a fab outcome. I will have my fingers crossed for you xx

 

[MrsLaw]

Great result. Get some rest and good luck x

 

[hopefulmum2014]

Thank you for your kind words ladies xxx

 

[tinselcat]

fantastic result, hopefulmum. Good luck & hope the 2ww isn't too stressy xxx

 

[xMillie]

I had some bleeding for the last few days and just had an early scan confirmed nothing there anymore
The pregnancy test they did was faint positive and I had strong positives on Saturday
So gutted

Not sure where we go from here other than some time.. it's been a crap week.
Urine infection followed by thrush than a minor car accident now this.. So fed up

 

[liz85]

So sorry Millie xxx

 

[may_lin_tewin]

Hi Millie

Sorry to hear that Cheer up girl.... Look on a brighter side there are frosties waiting for you too...
Have some rest yeah!!!

May

 

[1sttimer]

Oh Millie I am beyond gutted for you. You wont be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel yet and are likely wondering why you, why couldn't you just have this one bit of luck. It will work out, keep believing, and give yourself some time. Life can be so cruel xx

 

[xMillie]

The timing was all so perfect.. we're so sad it didn't work out

I have to go back to epau for more bloods tomorrow but I don't want to
I just have to go.. sigh

 

[hopefulmum2014]

Hi ladies, I am 5dp5dt today, I am so emotional and have been for the last few days, I don't have any real symptoms and I am feeling like it hasn't worked, I see so many people that get BFPs have AF like cramps but I haven't had that, 2 days after transfer, I had some dull cramping / sharp pains on left side near my ovary, it almost made me jump but I put that down to needed the lou as I was so congested and bloated from mild ohss, the bloated went from 3dp5dt, I had sore boobs from egg collection and everyday that has gone down as well as sensitivity in my nipples, but yesterday my boobs did feel fuller. Yesterday I have had constipations type stitch pains down my right side starting from under my ribs but thats it. I am going out my mind thinking about it and googling etc and I know I shouldn't. 5dp5dt is too early to test isn't it? xxx

 

[tinselcat]

Millie - very sad to hear that, many hugs xxx

Hopeful - I think 7 do 5 dt would be better to start testing, I've been pregnant a number of times and these have ranged from lots of strong symptoms to none at all... So best not to read anything into"not enough" if that's what you're worried about. Good luck xxx

 

[phonixgirl]

Millie, I'm so so sorry that's such sad news xxxx big big hugs xxxx

Hopeful - stay optimistic, it's not over until the witch comes. I know it's hard. The one time I was convinced it hadn't worked was the one time I had a chemical pregnancy - no cramps, no symptoms, nothing. Xxx

 

[xMillie]

Hopeful, I defo had no symptoms! I just kept waiting for af.. 5dp5dt is too early yeah hope you can wait it out, it's hard
Fingers crossed for you though!

Thanks tinsel + phonix, my levels went down from 1150 to only 330 in only 48hours, thankfully it means I don't have to spend any more time at that awful epau.. they just said test in 2 weeks to make sure
Can't decide if I want to call my clinic straight away and see if they can book me in for another treatment plan in the next month or if I should just see what happens and hope we can do it naturally again hmm
I need to call the midwife too I had just had my booking in app Tuesday

Hi ladies, is it ok to jump on this thread? Our consent forms came through today for our IVF so I feel things are starting to move now and it would be lovely to chat to others going through the same thing at the moment.
