Ladies doing IVF or IUI - 2015 (9 BFPs!)

[xxcharliexx]

I'd give the clinic a call poispinner to put your mind at rest, they must have dealt with hundreds of scenarios so best to call in.

I've had the nerve wracking call from the embryologist and 7 of the 9 fertilised so not as many to play with as last time but the embryologist seemed positive. Just preying half don't stop growing this time after 2 days. Feel really nervous! And I can't stop blowing off! The joys! X

Your eggs are doing better than mine did. We only fertilised 5 if I remember correctly and only 3 made it to blastocyst stage so we only ended up with the 3. Your doing really well dee

And better out than in so blow away hahaha xx

Start treatment in 11 days but feeling incredibly nervous. Keep having anxiety attacks and feel like I could cry. I don't want to tell the clinic incase they cancel it. Please tell me it's normal to feel this way, I feel like I'm loosing control

Thanks Charlie, I need to hear such things, it's hard when it didn't go so well last time and this is our last shot of treatment.

It's very normal cdababy, the weight of expectation is enormous, it's such a pressure cooker of emotions. Just getting your head around that it's come to needing is treatment is hard enough without dating to look further than that. Just take it one day at a time, once you start it's really not that bad at all and let the professionals lead you and make the decisions xx

That happened to me, I thought the period was finished and then started up again, I had a scan that showed there was still blood there so I wasn't able to start the stim drugs, had to continue with down regulation. Have you had a scan before starting the stims? xx

No havent had a scan. They told me over the phone to start stims yesterday and i am booked in for first scan on tues. I have phoned them and they are going to call me back as all nurses on other calls. Worried now that ive started stims and shouldnt have!

I feel the same. I am an anxious person normally so feel very stressed and emotional. I know you should try to relax before but so hard and impossible not to think about it all the time!

Don't worry about feeling this way, it is normal. xxx

 

[Blueflower]

That's 78% Dee! Hopefully they will be better quality than last time. X

Perfectly normal CDA I had a dream before my first ivf that I was trapped underground standing up in a cage, buried alive and unable to move, I felt as if I was putting my body in a situation I couldn't get out of and was in the hands of others. Once you start the stims and see those follicles on the screen you feel much better and even a bit excited!

That's very true about being incredulous that you even need ivf, but you do get used to it and want to do everything it takes. Doesn't help when you hear about people who get a miracle bfp before starting! I only know of 1 lady on here that it happened to.

I am soo confused

I thought I was about 10dpo ( got a smiley 11 days ago ) today but have had this ewcm the last day and today when I took an OPK it was a smiley face??

This has never happened before so does it mean I ovulate twice??

I was so ready to start the ivf now but guess have to wait

Have you done a pregnancy test just incase, sometimes opks pick it up xx

Are you on long or short protocol? I was on long so could be different. Try not to worry, they will be able to advise. Clinics can be very different in their approaches, so what my place said and what your place says could be completely different xx

Have heard so as well but not done it yet. Even though by breasts hurt a little and feel a bit bigger ( good sign but usually get this just before AF ) I also have ewcm so think its O.. Will test later to be sure and will definitely NOT get my hopes up.

My hormones have been all over the place since been on so much progestone the last 6 months so think my body is playing tricks on me. xx

 

[MariaIsabella]

Yes, negative so very sad I have to wait another couple of weeks to start ivf. Us getting pregnant naturally is very unlikely because of 0% morphology so not very excited about ovulating ( AGAIN ) either

Will have a glass of wine now

Long protocol I believe (started down regging on day 21). The clinic rang me back earlier and said not to worry and carry on with the stims and it should stop soon! Thanks for your reply x

 

[lisey]

No worries at all x Glad they said its all good and loads of luck for the scan next week xx

Sorry about the bfn Mariaisabella, enjoy the wine. The next couple of weeks will fly by and you are still on the way to your bfp xx

 

[CDAbaby]

Good luck Dee, I hope your little embryos are maturing well

Mariaisabella - hopefully it was just a shift in hormones and won't affect you starting your Ivf. I didn't realise we must be due to start our treatment at a similar time. Mine is due to start around 31st August.

Good luck with the scan next week Poispinner! I hope it's the start of your bfp xx

Xxxx

My day 2 update is mixed. I have 2 4 cells, 2 2 cells, 1 3 cell 1 1 cell and 1 6 cell. She said they should be between 2 and 5 cells so one is growing a bit quick and one too slow so I think we have 5 in the running. She said they're mixed quality. To be honest she didn't sound overly positive and has provisionally booked is in for a day 3 transfer tomorrow which doesn't bode too well, in fact it sounds very similar to last time, I just don't think I have very good egg quality. Feel deflated and negative already. I really want to get to blastocyst but it's such a risk as we might end up with nothing to transfer. Just have to wait for the morning call...x

 

[Blueflower]

Ladies with similar embryos have got a bfp, its still highly possible! Praying for some good news for you.

Done my trigger shot, hospital still being elusive so had to call the emergency number! Want to do an IC to test out the trigger, how soon will it show do you think?!

So now we just await AF then start the pill after a proper bleed. It will be nice to stop that horrible nasal spray too, been so bloated! No ivf stress for a few weeks now! I plan to enjoy our anniversary weekend!

 

[Jayne1979]

Here I am, 4 rounds of clomid done. Went for follow up appt on Tuesday. Consultant said we could to start Ivf. I have been so stressed out about my age though only 35 & this has been the worst possible year ever, so have been stressed out. Waiting to fill in documentation & have our first appt. So want this to work. Any advice on how to prepare ladies xx

 

[Loubalouba]

So it's my OTD today and got a BFN??? 4 days late on my period and had loads of symptoms even bad nausea!!?? Totally felt pregnant, totally thought I was? I must have lost it? Can't believe this... Even last night I felt sick had weird sensations in abdomen felt tired and light headed, and no spotting nothing??? I used a clear blue plus like I am supposed to. I guess I can just expect to get my period in the next few days??

 

[Dee28]

Oh Lou I am sorry, do you have another test to confirm? Are you taking progesterone? That can keep AF away. It's all so stressful

As for me just had the call and we've made the hideous decision to wait til Monday in the hope we get a blastocyst. They're almost the same position as last time so not great and behaving quite unpredictably and the embryologist thinks it's worth the risk to see if one improves by Monday, but there's a risk we'll have nothing to transfer. Mega stressful anxious weekend wait ahead xx

 

[Loubalouba]

Oh Hun we are both in for a shit weekend! I think u have done a scary but right thing!! Fingers and toes crossed for u!! It's soooo tough this journey, never imagined how tough when we set out on it.,

It was a natural FETso I am not on progesterone, cannot understand how j don't have my period, guess it will probably come in the next day or so, feel so low can't stop crying, this feels so cruel! Uggghhh sorry I am probably not helping to cheer u up dee!! Xx
