Yes sloth try to keep yourself busy as the 2ww can feel so long.

Hope Lily and Sporty that your appointments went well.

Good evening ladies, hope all is well

Had EC on Fri, we had 9 eggs, 5 fertilised, 4 good ones and 1 average. Waiting for FC to confirm whether to transfer tomorrow or Weds. I haven't told work and so will have to pull a sickie which I hate but I have had so much time off with scans etc I won't be able to book off as hol...thinking of excuses to make...

How is everyone??? X

That is great news Lily-Rose. Glad egg collection went well and good luck for embryo transfer. Keep us updated! Are you feeling ok? I found it so nerve wracking waiting to hear how ours were getting on and they didnt call at all unless they wanted us to come in so each day I was a wreck not knowing if I was going to hear anything.

AFM I am 8dp5dt and going crazy. I want OTD to just get here already, but at the same time I am so afraid and I do not want to POAS because if it is negative (which at my age is the most likely outcome) I will be devastated after all we have been through. Our other embryos did not make it to freeze so this is it. I have had absolutely no symptoms at all though and I just feel like it has not worked. This is the hardest 2ww Ive ever done (and Ive done a lot of 2wws)

YAY Skaps!!!! So so pleased for you!!!! Hope scan goes well x

Sloth just seen your posts.. keeping everything x for you. I remember how nerve racking it was waiting for those phone calls! Did you get a photo of your embryos?! Random question I know.. our clinic don't do that but they did give me a scan pic of them being put in when I expressed disappointment... not that you can see much!!!

Lily rose keeping everything x for you and your ET.

Sporty hope you are feeling ok with your injections
Hope all of you are ok.. I am always happy to talk about our ivf journey on here or via pm xx

Thanks ellesbelles! We didnt get a pic of our embryos, but I wasnt expecting one tbh.

How are things going SportyGirl?

OTD is tomorrow. I could not sleep last night and I feel so stressed. Still no symptoms at all but I cannot stop myself hoping.

Lily_Rose

Ooooh good luck sloth! Fingers crossed for you xxx

Thanks for your support elles ! Didn't realise there could be some images...might ask the clinic lol.

We have transfer on Weds, I am so nervous and keep thinking the worse things possible, sloth I think we need to think more positively!

I have lost 3 pairs on knickers from those oily pessaries, its costing me even more money as need replacement underwear haha!

Speak soon ladies x

How are you getting on slothsocks and Lily_rose?

The injections are now over for me. It was getting tough near the end to find a non painful injection site. I did 28 days of injections and was on 3 a night towards the end. I triggered on Saturday and had egg collection yesterday on our wedding anniversary of all days. We had to leave the hotel trip we had planned very very early to get there.

All went well and i’m recovering now and am a bit apprehensive about the phone call of how the eggs and some got on.

Yes, I remember how the pessaries are so messy and ruin knickers. Last time I just bought a multipack of cheap knickers and called the, pessart knickers. It didn’t matter if the got ruined.

How is everyone else?

Today is OTD. I got the faintest squinter of a positive, but it is definitely there. Have to test again in 7 days and if it is still showing positive they will book me in for a scan to confirm. I cant believe it. I am in shock. I really thought it had not worked.

Glad your egg collection went well SportyGirl. Got my fingers crossed lots have fertilised for you.

I amm using crinone gel rather than the oil pessaries. It is still messy and forms lumps like play doh, but at least it washes off easily!

skaps

Wow congrats slothsocks. Great news.

I am also using Crinone and agree how they can spoil your underwear but luckily it washes off though sometimes not so easily. I am wearing cheap underwear too so am not too bothered of they get ruined.

Have my early scan tomorrow. Feeling very nervous about this and my husband can't come with me as we are moving house. Hoping all goes well. I haven't had many symptoms just a bit of nausea and a few twinges. I have gained some weight too.

Good luck sporty and lily. Everything crosded for you. X
